_ ‘S I could not bring myself to view the affair in
the criminal light that Mr. Newton liad reprt:-_
sented it. ‘ \’\"hy’ said I to myself, ‘is it dis-
zionorable to love Clara, when it would he esteem-
:d an honor and an obligation in another, if pos-
sessed of wealth ? Do virtue and honor consist in
'iches ? If so, I will endeavou‘r to be virtuous and
honorable.’
VVith this view I repaired to the metropolis as
soon as my apprenticeship was expired; and af-
ter several revolutions in my circumstances, ac-
. ccpted the situation as clerk, or sub-secretary to a
gentleman who was going to the East Indies-.—
In about four years, by the emoluments of my
office and some commercial business I transacted
on my own account, I acquired the sum of twen-
ty thousand pounds. My impatience to see my
Clara, caused me to leave so plentiful a harvest.
,1 resigned my place,and embarked for Europe in
---—, after having converted my whole fortune
into diamonds. Our voyrge was fortunate, till we
‘ arrived at false Bay at the Cape of Good Hope :
where the ship, with her sailsout, struck upon an
unknown rock, and went down in less than half
an hour. My box of diamonds was portable, and
might easily bave been saved ; but unfortunately
it was in a chest that was stowed away contrary
to orders, in the after hold, and the water ran too
fast to permit any one to go down and fetch it.
Thus I became once more destitute, and had
the world to begin again. I drew upon my old
school master for 1001. not having another friend
on earth that I supposed would advance the sum
for me, and with the cash paid my passage to Eng-
land. Immediately on my arrivala.1 \V€Ht <l0“I1
to Mr. Newton’s country seat, being no longer a-
bit: to conquer the impatience I had to see my
Clara. I found that M r. Newtbrfwas absent,
the school master dead, and had too certain in-
telligence that Clara was married and lived in
Quite exltausted, tired of the world,
and disgusted with myself and every thing about
-me, I returned to town, where I was informed
that my bill was protested for non-acceptance;
so that I expect a jail will be the conclusion of
mv misfortunes ; and as I am perfectly indiffer-
ent about either life or the conveniences of it, I
wait for the finishing stroke to place me in a state
even below the reach of farther calamity.”
Montford was much affected with this narrative
and said much to console him. “I IISSIIPC” Said
he, is my dear Vvilson, that I share your aillic-
tions ; but at the same time, it is with pleasure
that Itthink it is in my power to alleviate them
in some tlegrce. You will permit me to accept
your bill of exchange ; and I think you do not
use me with the same freedom which you see I
'-take with you, if you refuse me the pleasure of
supplying your wants till something genteel can
he thought of, I know the suspicious and mean-
ness ofthe world in general have rendered some
delicacy necessary in cases of this nature. A
man of feeling is more cautious in the discrimi-
nation of those from whom he receives favors
than on whom he confers them. I am ambitious
' to be one of the few you would choose to distin-
guish by giving them leave to assist you, and
hope you will allow me_t_o put it to the proof.”-
As he said this, he presented him withabank
‘note for one hundred pounds.
VVilson was all amazement and gratitude. He
*accepted the present, but was incapable of ma-
king any 'ackn'owledgements..
They went together to Montford’s house and
lived in a cordial and uninterrupted friendship ;
but \Vilson"s melancholy seemed rather to in-
crease than‘ to diminish. One morning, as they
were taking their usual airing in Hyde-Park, and
contemplating the ruined and solitary appearance
that the ring now bears in which our forefathers
were wont to exhibit their equipages and gallant-
ry, a carriage and four entered, and drove slowly
round. Curiosity prompted VVilson to pass by
it, and on a near approach he beheld with aston-
ishment, the long lost Clara Newton. Athen-
sand tumultuous tljtoughts rushed at once into his
passion that had by turns domineered in his bo-
som in the retired moments of reflection, now
took possession of his heart at once. “ Let us
go,” said he to Montford, at the same time turn--
ing his horse, and regardless of Clara, who spoke
to him from the carriage. He went oil‘ in a gal-
lop, to the surprise of Mentford, and it was some
time before I/Vilson could muster up recollection
enough to acquaint him that the carriage contain-
ed thc disturbcr of his quiet.
The next morning, a footman, who by Cla_ra"a
order had followed them home, delivered the fol;
lowing billet to Mr. \Vilson.
“ If Mr. ‘Wilson ever prided himself on the ti-
tle of friend to Clara; or if by that or any other
dearer title she still preserves an influence over
him,.she requests the favor of his attendance to-
morrow, at the time and place in which she last
saw him.” ‘
Though from the knowledge that Clara was
irrecovcrably lost to him he could entertain no
hopes of advantage from this interview, yet he
resolved to go; and Morttfot-d’s opinion coinci-
ded with his., They went together to the place
of rendezvous, and had been there but a few min-
utes bcfore the carriage appeared in sight. VVil-
son alighted, and assisted Clara down but neither
spoke. After they had walked together in silence
for some time, Clara, with a voice of hesitation,
as‘ked,. ‘ Has VVilson then forgot Clara ? I/Ve
were not usually so silent.’ ‘ Heaven is my wit-
ness (replied Wilson, laying his hand on his
breast) that it is impossible ! I have strove to for-
get you, since it is your pleasure, but my attempts
were in vain.’ ‘My pleasure I’ rc-echocd she
with surprise, ‘ if such had ever been my wish,
I wanted means to signify it to you ; for I have
been ignorant of your residence ever since you
left the village.’ ‘ VVhy,’ replied he, earnestly,
‘why should (Ila-ra ungeneronsly mock the friend
of her youth ? Can she wish that VVilson slioulrl,
remember her to his grief, since that reincar-
brance must be accompanied with the painful
truth that she has forsaken him for another i’-—-
‘ Oh ‘Wilson replied the alllicted fair one, ‘ bent-g.
2, I deserved this ? Do we meet, after so long a
l separation with reproach ? Have I mourned yo:-‘.r
absence as an aftliction, and now meet a greater
one in your return ? It is plain that you no lon-
ger regard me, or else why charge me with an
act my heart detests ?’ ‘ I conjure you Clara.’
said he, seizing her by the hand, ‘ tell meare you
married?’ ‘ No l’ replied she, ‘ Does \Vilso_n
think I can forget our mutual vows in the alcove 1’
‘ Then am I happy 1’ exclaimed he, embracing
her, ‘ permit my friend to share the satisfaction I
enjoy at this event.’ Montford approached on
VVilson’s calling him, and was overjoyed to find
that Clara had been faithful. They stayed to-
getlierccnvcrsing till the time required that they
should part, which they did, after making an ap-
pointment for another meeting.
VVhen Montford and \Vilson arrived at home,
they renewed their discourse on the late fortu-
tunate occurrence. ‘ Though my joy,’ said VVil-
son, ‘ is extreme to find my Clara constant, yet
I cannot help being uneasy, when I reflect that
the loss of my fortune is as great an obstacle to
my hopes of possessing her as ever. Vtlhen
her inconstancy was the grand source of my un-
happiness, I forgot my lesser misfortunes; now.
that is removed, I feel the lesser ones still rc-
main.’ ‘ I am of your opinion,’ answered Mont-
ford, ‘ that is a misfortune, but not such as will
not admit of a remedy. I have just thought of
one ; I am growing old, and shall probably die
some day or other ; in which case, as I have not
relations, it is most likely, if I do not provide to
the contrary, my effects will be inherited by some
whose only merit is——-that he spells his name
with the same letters as I do. This, I must
confess I should not like, and therefore coiiceive
that the best remedy is to adopt some deserving
person as my heir, which person I should wish to
be my friend VVilson. Now, considering the af-
fair in this light it will be no such great diffu=.ul-
ty for me to spare a fcw thousands before-hand
for the present occasion; concerning whi,ch,,if
you please, I will wait upon Mr. Newton, and do
not doubt but we shall conclude a treaty upon
some terms or other. W'ilson was too well ac-
quainted with Montford, to be surprised at any
action of generosity he could confer, and the best
chosen words wouldhave been insipid to express
his gratitude. ~
Montford, impatient to see his fr_icndcomplc:e-
ly happy, repaired without delay to Mr. Ne-wtons
and concluded the affair so well at their first con-
ference, that the lawyers were instructed to pre-
pare the dceds. ' .
'tVilson was introduced to Mr. Newton and his
Clara, and in a few days after was united to her
in the sacred and indissolublc tie. > They have
since lived in the most perfect and uninterrupted
‘harmony, happy in themselves, and the cause of
happiness to all about them ; mutually admiring,
praising, and almost adoring, the beneficetu, the
generous Montford. t

V Remarkable (1z'.s-em-ye-ry of a jlfu,-dc,-_
A gemlcman travelling in Cornwall, observed
a strange dog following him on the road, which,
notwithstanding every effort be used to drive him
back, claimed an acquaintance with him.
Being bcnighted in a lonely place, he called at
the first inn he met with, and desired to be ac-
commodated with a room. After supper, the
gentleman retired to rest. No sooner had he 0-
pened the room door, than the before mentioned
dog rushed in. After same fruitless efforts to
drive the dog away, the gentleman permitted him
Ito stay in the room, thinking he could do him no
iarm.
‘When the gentleman began to prepare for bed,
the dog ran to a closet door, and then ran back to
him, looking very wishfully at him. This the
dog did several times, which so far excited the
curiosity of the gentleman, that he opened the
closet door; and to his great terror, saw a person -
laid with his throat cut. Struck with horror, he
began to think of his own state.
run away, he supposed would be unsafe. He
therefore began to barricade the door with the
furniture of the room, and laid himself on the
bed with his clothes on. About midnight, two
men came to the door and requested admittance ;
stating that the gentleman who had slept there
the preceding night, had forgotten something,
and was returned for it. He replied, the room
was his, and that no one should enter his room
till morning. They went away, but soon return-
ed with two or three more men, and demanded
entrance; but~the gentleman, (with an austere
voice) threatened if they did not desist he would
defend himself. Awed apparently by this bold
reply, they left him, and disturbed him no more.
In the morning he inquired fora barber: one
was immediately sent for, when the gentleman
took the opportunity of inquiring into the char-
acter of the host. The barber replied, he was a
neighbor, and did not wish to say any thingtohis
disadvantage. The gentleman still urged his
inquiry, assuring him that he had nothing to fear,
till the barber said, ‘- Sir, if I must tell the truth,
they bear a very bad character, for it has been
reported that persons have called here who have
never been heard of afterward.” Can you, said
the gentleman, keep a secret ? On his answering
in the aflirmative, the gentleman opened the clos-
et door, and showed him the person with his
throat cut; he then directed the barber to pro-
cure a constable, and proper‘ assistance, with all
speed, which was done immediately, and the host
and hostess were both taken into custody, to take
their trial at the next assize. They took their
trial, were found guilty of the murder, condemn-
ed and executed. The dog was‘ never seen by
the gentleman after.-

The Clbservatory of Lucien Bonaparte, at Rome,
is said to be the most complete, in respect to its
instruments, of any in the world—-among others,
is the T clescope with which Herschel made his
most important discoveries, and for which Lu-
cien paid 2000 pounds sterling. The doors of
his observatory are open to all men of science,
and the urbanity of his manners renders it a place
of great resort for the most eminent professors
in Rome.

A Jack Tar just returned from sea met his old

that he determined to commit matrimony ; but

applied to the skipper to’ know if he might not
work his passage, as he could not afford money to

lead the Horse along the bank. The honest
wight trudged I4 miles to the end of the canal,
without ever dreaming that he could have walked
without the skipper’s leave.

True }i_’el_igz'o7'2.——False ideas may be eiitertain.
e_d of Religion, as false and imperfect conccp-~
tions of Virtue have often prevailed in the world
But to‘ true Religion there ‘belongs no sullen
gloom--no melancholy austerity, tending to with.
draw man from human society, or to diminish
the exertions of active virtue. On the contrnrv,
the religiousprmciple, rightly understood, not
only unites with all such virtues, but supponts,
fortiiies, and confirms them. It is so far from
obscuring the lustre ofa character. that it height-
ens and enobles It. It adds to all the moral vir.
tuesa venerable and autltoritative dignity. It
renders the virtuous character more august. To
the decorations of a palace, it joins the majesty
of a temple. 0' . ».,. .
