she was able, with the assistance Of
her newly-made acquaintance, tc

tive ease; and, having volunteered he1
assistance in any way in which it
might be serviceable, the woman
took her leave, promising to return
the following morning and see how
Nelly was.
With a grateful heart that her darl-
ing had been spared any greater deg
radiation, though with sore misgivings
as to her own prudence and capabil-
ity of graphing with the world, Nelly
reviewed the events Of that day, bit
terly regretting the error into which
she had fallen regarding the ring,
that sole relic Of her happy days,
that treasured memorial Of her young
and beloved husband; then, again, she
recalled the hoarse tones she had
heard in the police-court, and which
would, perforce, connect themselves
with her own revelations.

distance like that Of the ruffian Meg
horn, and when, as she bolted her door
at night, she drew for herself the pict-
ure Of how his voice demanding en-
trance should arouse her ere morning.
Nelly had learned something, i'll her
more frequent intercourse with the
world, of how much weight would be
the disclosures she had in her power
to make, and she dreaded less and
less any nolestion from the smuggler;
yet the recollection Of that strangely
excited voice haunted her. the more
that it did not for a moment repre-
sent itself to her as that of her detest-
ed husband. But these ideas were
soon chased away by another, which
was introduced to her consideration,
and in a manner least expected.
The alarm of poor Agnes Chaunce
for her father had been premature, 50
far as his life was concerned; he still
fingered, though declining visibly,
day by day, and painfully dependent
for the most triHing assistance, his
mind a hopeless wreck.

CLOSING over the Prince

1t is true that the Prince OF Wales
has been playing cards for money;
true that hehas madewagers on horse
races; true that IN a gentleman
house, he was, after a horse race,
banker in a baccarat game and lost
money in that capacity. But there
are things to remember IN doing him
Justice. He represents, he did not ere
ate the alleged. higher society in Eng
land. He follows, did not form, the
fashion OF betting that IS the rage OF
the aristocracy. and he did not take
advantag of his position to keep out
of court, but came to the front and
told the truth man-fashion,-Marat
