The deep. clear. silver laugh of Miss
Dubois in which her companions joined
rang through the room at this an
nounrrmvnt. while the Sheriff and his
assistants. finding themselves sold, is
the saving Is. retired, greatly chagrincd
at their singular adventure. 1t happen-
ed. shortly after, Miss Dubois and her
fricnls left Troy, Mr.. Marcy, having
business in Albany, proceeded to that
city alone hy stage. Having Transacted
his business he returned home alone, as
he came. to the surprise of the citizens
and his friends. who verify believed he
had clopcd with the pretty hciress. His
own aStonshmcnt was unboundcd when
Informed Of the rnmmotion and excite
mrnt he had unron>ciou>lv V caused at the
seminary. especially. when he learned
that during the day it was believed
throughout the city that he had abScon-

that for the time being he had abandoned
the law for t;rctna Green Nothing
could exceed the modification Of the
seminary at the useless and ludicrous cN-
citcmrnt they had produced. Fora long
time this clopcmcnt made much merri-
men, in all circles, both at Troy and A.
baav. None, however, enjoyed the joke
with krcnrr relish than Marcy and his
fair friend.
At length She graduated and returned
TO her friends. leaving the young lawyer
to pod ON towards the fame that awaited
him In the course of time Miss Dubois
married a highly respectable citizen of
Boston. with whom she lived in great
happiness and prosperity. With the
lapse of time honors accumulated upon
William l.. Marcy. He WAS elevated to
the bench of the Supreme Court of the
Statr of New York. He occupied the
(iubcrnatural chair. and afterwards be-
came member of tao United states
Senate and then Secretary of State in
the Cabinet of the President of the
United States, gaining honorS as Minis
ter of State which few OF his predecessors
had attained. While Senator in Con.
rrr>> he ATTENDED one of those splendid
receptions given by a distinguished oti-
cial to the heads of departments, Scna-
tors. members Of Congress and other emil
ncnt persons entitled to an invitation.
In the course of the evening, a lady
whose beauty, accomplishments faSclnat-
inr manners. and rcputcd wealth attrac-
ted much attention in the fashionable
circles of Washington, approached Mr..
Marcy. She was leaning on the arm OF
dignicd and courtly gcntlcman;-
Senator" She said, with a graceful salu-
tation. Il cannot resist my desire to re-
new an acquaintance with you once the
source of great pleasure and profit to me:
Do YOU not recognize in me an old
friend?"
'Ccrtainlv do. You are, or rather
were, Miss Dubois. l am delighted to
meet YOU again nothing could give me
greater pleasure" said MI Marcy, after
a moments hesitation.
Permit nc to introduce to YOU my
husband, Mr. d, Of Boston, said the
lady. "Nr. D." she continued,
'this is the Hon. William l.. Marcy,
whom YOU know 40 well by reputation.
He is an old friend Of mine. | once
clopcd with him; but ! trust YOU will
forgive him. As you have me, for II WAS

"Such clopcments arc easily forgotten,
Senator" said Mr.. D., "c>pccially
since the one Mrs. b alludc> to has
afforded Us fund of amusement from
our first acquaintance"
1T was 50 we'll managed that neither
of us knew anything about it until 1t was
all over. said Marcy.
The story Of the clopcmcnt soon found
its WAY into Washington society, where
it was the subject Of much mcrrlmcnt.

one Of his receptions, at which Mrs.
D and her husband were present,
"Mnrcv. by the Eternal, if ! had been in
