up into his face as he came in with a sad,

bled. One glance, however, told her heart
that a change had taken place, and she
sprang quickly towards him.

was the stern response.
One year from that time, another bridal
party assembled at the residence of Mr..
Weston. Helen, long since recovered from
the shock she had received, had again
consented to be led 10 the altar, by John
Barclay, whose life had been, since he
signed the pledge, OF the most unexcep-
tonable character. Indeed, almost his on
/ Iy fault i'll former times had been a fond
ness for drinking, and gay company. Not
much of boisterous mirth characterized the
bridal party, for none felt like giving way
10 an exuberance Of teeing-but there
was, Notwithstanding few could draw
veil entirely over the past, rational con-
ylction that true and permanent happiness
must, and would crown that marriage
union. And thus far, it has followed it,
and must continue TO follow it, for John
Barclay is a man of high-toned principle,
and would as soon think of committing a
highway robbery, as violating his pledge.

Concluded
Time wore on, and John Barclay, be-
sides continuing perfectly sober, gave con-
slant attention to business. So complete
change in him gave confidence TO the
parents and friends of Helen Weston, who
made no opposition to his wish for an
early marriage. 1t was fixed to take
place on the evening Of the very day upon
which his temporary pledge was to expire.
TO the expiration of this pledge, Bar
clay had never ceased, from the moment
it was taken, to look forward with lively
interest. Not that he felt desire TO
drink. But he suffered himself to be
worried with the idea that he was no
longer a free man. The nearer the day
came that was to terminate the period for
which he had bound himself TO abstinence,
the more did his mind dwell upon it, and
the more did he desire It's approach. 1t
was, likewise, to be his wedding-day, and
for that reason, also, did he look eagerly
forward But.it is doubtful whether the
consummation of his marriage. or the ex
piration of his pledge, occupied most Of
his thoughts.
The day so long looked for came at
last The day that was to make Barclay
free man, and happy in the possession of
one of the sweetest girls for wife, he
had ever seen.
i shall not see you again, until tonight,

left the house. He first proceeded to his
store, where he went through, hurriedly,
some business that required his attention,
occupying something like all hour. Then
he went out, and walked rapidly up one
of the principal streets of the city, and
down another, as if on some urgent er-
rand Without stopping anywhere. he
had nearly returned 10 his own store,
when he was stopped by friend, who

From The Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we judge, long felt
desideratum--a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
OF the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
hrst number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 3Oth January, 1851. This is unparal-
leed despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster Is here brought two years nearer to
as than our own court house The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with it.
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table Of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price Of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample rcmuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers Philadelphia Legal mtelHscncer.
