Simpson, inhabited, in London, small, pret-
~ house, with his daughter, young girl,
scarcely eighteen years Of age. Mary was a
beautiful blonde, with large blue eyes, as
wise as she was beautiful. She was con-
eiantly surrounded by host of admirers,
ANXIOUS TO win her heart, but their efforts
were IN vain. Mary was not coquette, and
far from enjoying the effect produced by her
charms, She was often annoyed by II. Ed
ward Wcresiord, a young artist, intimate in
the family, was the only one whose society
eho really enjoyed.
A very simple occurrence had been the
cause Of this intimacy. A sudden and unex-
pccted death had carried awny the Quakers
wife, stiil young and beautiful and anxious
10 preserve the image of one so dear to him,
he had called the young artist 70 her DEATH
bed IL was there that Edward had seen,
for the first time, the young and disconso-
late girl, and there their attachment first
sprnng into life, amidst the tears of the one
and heartfelt sympathy Of the other. A year
had scarcely elapsed, when the young artist
made known to the father of Mary his de-
sres and hopes.
Tire GOOD Jonathan saw no reason to OPP
pose tho mutual inclination of the two low
ers Without being rich, Edward with the
MD Of his pencil, was amply able TO support
a filnlily. His father, Mr.. Weresford one of
the oldest merchants Of the City, had retired
from business with large fortune. His was
rare instance of rapid success in specula-
tons, so rapid, indeed, that few had been
eblo to follow its progress. His manners
were rough and uncouih, and he lived alone
in tho outskirts of London, without troub-
ling himself about bis son; he was one of
those peculiar men who trouble nobody, in
order not TO bo troubled themselves, and was
toerably good -natured il no favors wero re-
Qured of him.
Edward, sure that his father would readi-
" consent to his marriage with the pretty
Quakcress, was anxiously awaiting the day
that should seal their union.
Jonathan Simpson, who owned large farms
in tlIe neighborhood of London, started one
morning to collect large sum of money |
which he designed for the expenses of the |
wedding. lie was absent only through the |
day, and as he was returning after dark, ON |
horseback, he perceived at short distance,
q man standing in the middle of the road,
evidently for no good purpose. He stopped,
hesiiating whether TO 90 OH or turn back
IN the meantime the man was advancing to-
wards him, and fight seemed impossible he |
therefore determined to make the best of it, |
and 80 slowly OH. As he approach nearer,
he perceived that the man was masked.-
