NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST /, 1869.


"Capt. Pennant, feel that our relative po-
sition is greatly altered. If Miss bingham
acts as, it is said, she is about to do, she dis
graces herself, in my eyes, to eternity-and
never, mover, 80 long ms live, shall hold any
| communication with her. But know too we'll
what a cruel disappointment this is to you,
and am quite aware that, as relative of a
woman that has behaved SO dishonorably, /
should neither obtrude upon you my compan-
ionship nor burthen You with my support; I
have, therefore,, determined to leave you at
the first stage, with thanks for your past kind
ness and every good wish for Your future
prosperity Isfs .ss-s8 lf.tt.E3s-g3 E tJ

Mike" said Pennant, resuming his former
tunceremonious manner, ssthat cannot be. To
procure my liberty, you risi1ed your own safe
ty-and a handsome and wellsecured indie
pendence. You cannot, surely, think me SO
hsartiess as to suppose that I@shall receive
ouch sacrifices at your hands without endea-
| yoring to repay themf My guest You must
remain until lean procure your pardon land
than, as q matter of justice, shalf insist on
yonr accsp tance of an annuity equivalent to
that which the French government ;accordsd,
and hieh you forfeited solely ON my account.
/ 1t is true, had hoped thHt our connectian
would have, been more intimate thas it is now
ever likely to bel fondly locked forward to
the time whens aSn,y relative and friend, you
should ngaiu occupy your room In sDunseser7

"Certain. The groom ordered posters for to-
morrow. Dick, the cstlerS says it's only for
the'baIl, but Tom, the waiter, says it's for the
wedding; and master says as much, too, and
that the balPs only a make believe, to keep the
folks from thronging the church"
| The crack of his whip, as he pressed on his
horses, cut short tho Conversation, and Mike
drew back thoroughly Disconnected. They had
tarriyed at the first stage, aud transferred
themselves into the now ohaise, where Mike
betook himself at once, from motives of pre-
caution and PennantJ from q desire to escape
all avoidable contact with humanity. The
last position was standing at che door, taking
la glass of ale from the land lore, w lille the ne
