rope ladder the following evening from one OF
the windows in the room adjoining; but having
loosed the bars of the window the same evening
instrument for the purpose was put into her
lands, she determined not to waii till the follow
ing evening for the promised ladder, not knowing
Lut the plot of the servants might be discovered
by her uncle, or by some of his children, and she
accordingly went to work making rope ttt such
it may be called) from her bed clothes, oy tear
ing them in strips and tying the ends togeiher.-
After few hours labor she completed her rope,
but fearing il might not be strong enough to sup
port her. il was some time before she dared at
tempt descent But preferring death to longer
confinement, and fearing that she might be de-
tec,sd, she resolved 70 make the attempt, resignF
ing herself into the hands of Him who is the OF
phan's friend She did make the attempt and
was successful. Yes, she was liberated from a
prison in her own house. where for filthy lucre' s
sake, she had been confined by her own uncle,
hut once more breathed the pure air of freedom
This was about daylight. She Immediately bent
her steps towards the wharf where the Boston
vessel lay and from that period in her life till
she ushered her husband into her own house the
reader has already an account of.
The surprised and horror stricken uncle stood
in mute astonshment for some moments after be-
ing informed by Eliza of her marriage. She again
repeated her demand, Leave my house in an
hour thou monster" and then returned to her hus-
band, when the promised explanation was made
The amazement OF Tudor and the transport of
his wife, at the sudden change in their fortunes
and conditions, may possibly be conceived, but
they certainly cannot be expressed. Being in
competent to the task, will not attempt to de-
scribe the scenes that snccessively followed, the
embraces of the happy couple, and the kisses ex-
changed-the JOY of the servants at seeing their
old mistress once more set at liberty-the chagrn
modification, and disappontments of the inhu-
man uncle, and his family-the kind congratula-
tions of old friends and acquaintances-ihe par
ties that were given by Mrs. Tudor, as well as
those attended by her and her husband-their
many rides into the country, &c. &c.
One pleasant morning some four OR five days
after the marriage, the attention of the officers and
hands belonging to the Boston vessel was direct
ed to splendid carriage. drawn by two cream
colored horses richly comparisoned, which was
approaching the wharf, and in few moments
halted Immediately in front of the vessel The
driver dismounted the box and let down the steps
of the carriage, gentleman gorgeously dressed,
stepped out, and assisted the lady with cores
ponding habiliments to alight; they then stepped
on board the vessel, when the gentleman asked
the captain what port he was from, how many
days he was performing the passage. when he in
tended to return, the amount Of fare for passen-
gers, and other questions of like nature receiving
appropriate answers TO the same, asked leave to
examine the cabins and other accommodations of
the vessel (a the while avoiding as far as possi-
bic, the scrutiny of the captan) which were very
corteously shown him. He then observed that
he and his lady had some thoughts of soon start
ing for America, and in case they concluded to
do so, assured the captain they would take pas
sage with him. They then left the cabin, but be-
fore leaving the vessel the gentleman turned to
the captain and said
"Capt -, calling him by name) before leav-
ing your vessel permit me to make you acquainted
uith Mrs Tudor!''
1t Was not till that moment, that the captain and
those around him, recognized in the elegantly
dressed gentleman, their old friend and compan-
ion-T'udor the ceeper,-they supposing that some
sad if not fatal accident had befallen him. I
more leave the reader to Judge the congratu-
lations that now followed, and the healths that
were drank.
The remainder of nay imperfect sketch is soon
told. Tudor distributed the wages coming to him
among his former associates, babe them good bye,
but not however, until he had extricated promise
from the captain and his crew to call as often as
possible upon him before sailing--left the vessel,
entered bis carriage, and was driven to his own
door,
Tudor and his wife lived through life upon the
most amicable terms, and were blessed with pros
perity and an obedient and respected circle of
children. Some years after his marriage. he re-
turned to his native place, Boston, where he built
two or three wharves, that bear his name to this
day. They afterwards returned to London where
they died they had lived since their union, hon.
ored by all who enjoyed their acquaintance.
