END OF A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The cele.
brated Lady Hamilton was disting uished above
almost every other woman of her age, for per-
sonal beauty. Her accomplishments Iwere
scarcely inferior TO her beauty. She was
skilled in music and painting; she had exqui-
site taste, and her features would express
every emotion by turns.
The only occasion on which Beckford of
Fonthill Abbey threw open his splendid man.
sion to company, was when Lady Hamilton
along with Lord Nelson visited it. All that
the wealth of the princely owler could furnish,
was provided to give splendor to the scene.-
The grounds were illuminated by lamps and
torches, and the interior of the apartments was
a blaze of jewelry and gold and silver
Spiced wine, and confectionery in golden bas-
kets, were handed round to the company. A
numerous party was assembled, and Lady
Hamilton shone the envy of them all. At
tired in a rich costume she entered with a
golden urn in her hands, and recited some ver-
ses, which the company was far too polite not
to applaud, spoken as they were by one who
had such influence over the hero Of the hour.
No one was there to tell her that all this was
deception; that sin surely carried It's ow n pun
lshment with II, and that the pleasure she was
pursuing was vain shadow.
Thirteen years after the banquet at Fonthll
had taken place, lady buying some meat for
NV Jug, az putCHci > Stdil al CaldlS, was mus
accosted by the butchers wife
All, madam! you seem benevolent lady,
and up stairs there is poor English woman,
who would be glad of the smallest piece of meat
which you are buying for your dog.'
Who, then, was the grateful recipient of
such humble aims? Alas! ii was the beauti-
ful Lady Hamilton. After the death of Lord
Nelson, deserted by those who fawned upon
her in prosperity, she gradually became i'm
poverished, and died at wretched lodging in
Calais. Her property consisted only Of a few
pawnbroker's duplicates. Her body was put
into common deal box, without any inserip-
tom and over the praised of statesmen, war;
riors, poets. and artists, the funeral service was
read by an officer on half pay. Such was the
end of the beautiful Lady Hamilton.
