He yielded to this advice. M was
asoldier; and ulthoiigli the struggle was
a severe one, still, after his arrival in New
York, having command over his feelings,
he subdued them so effectually that the
few faint and transient evidences of the
secret workings of his soul, before related,
.»*t'i

. were all that escaped him.
‘After remaining a few weeks in ‘the
city, the happy couple made the fashion-
abletour of the several watering-places
' in’ State, visited the romantic waters
of_Lake George, listenedto the deafening
roar of Niagara, and then returned.
Having resigned his situation in the
army, and obtained an appointment iua
-distant territory, in the autumn of 4 182-,
after taking-leave of his friends, and part-
ing with‘ great reluctance from his still
more -endeared friend and companion
B, , he departed with his wife for the
station where his new duties required his
residence. Hitherto their matrimonial
path had been-strewed with flowers, and
not a.cloud had for a moment obscured
the suuof their happiness. The bright-
est mornings, however, dawn on the dark-
est days, and it is but too true that
"‘Life.’s fairest views are but an airy dream,
Frail as the transient cloud, or bubble on the
stream.” A _ A .
Aucndemical fever, often so" fatal to
strangers in that climate, arrested his
progress at Natchez, which bafiled the
skill. of his physicians. He received
every attention,from the strangers among
-whom he was cast, and all the endearing
attentions of his wife—but in vain. It
was decreed that the cup of bliss, which
had but just been tasted, was to be dash-
ed suddenly from her lips; and so rapid
was the progress of disease, that in. five
short days from the commencement of his
illness, she found herself a widow in a
strange laud—desolate—alone. But the
measure of her «iniquity being not yet_
full, she in turn was seized by the «dire
contagion; and it was not until after the
elapse of several months that she was
able to return with the messenger sent to
conduct herback to her friends, -and the
scenes of her recent enjoyinents.
_' Many of her husband’s aflliirs were
left in, an unsettled state; and after the
poignancy of her grief had somewhat
subsided, it became necessary for her to
look after-‘ them. Fortunately, B
was a professional man, and to whom
could she better apply for assistance, in
her forlorn situation, than to her hus-
33aud’s most intimate and confidential
friend. She did so, and he attended to
her requests with all the apparent kind
ness that she could have wished.
~ A year rolled .away, and the affairs,
though not yet settled, were in a train of
:adjustment. .Meantime, another year
ipassed away with those beyond the flood,
during which his visits had gradually be-
come "more and more frequent, and his
attentions to her more marked and par-
ticular. He was her husband's dearest
1-friend, andshe therefore the more readily
confided in him. During this intercourse
with her, his conduct was uniformly niark-
ed by the most scrupulous propriety and
delicacy. _ And when, with honorable
.frankness, heiformally avowed himself as
asuitor for her heart and hand, he was
accepted. An enga.gement ‘for marriage
soon snccededandthe time fixed for the
wedding was not remote. The engage-
ment was known and approved by their
friends ; but ere_the time for the celebra-
tion of the nuptials arrived, it was post-
poned-agaiu, again, and again—-by va-
rious plausible pretexts, so artfully devised"
as to leave nothing toiexcite any well
grounded’ suspicions as to his -faitlrniid
the rectitude of his intentions. He-was
a:grave.and an honorable man, not likely
tobe fickle. in his mind," or flexible in his
‘purposes. -
A In this situation affairs stood until a
few months since, when, as it was sup‘
posed.,'_.un ‘irrevocable ‘determination was
made that the wedding should take place
(luring thepreseut spring ; and the lady
went upon a winter's visit to her friends
in the count.ry———to the dear, delightful
spot of her infa.ncy——wherc she had first
dreamed of love——and where those bright
visions of happiness had first danced in her-
youthful imagination, the reality of which
had, as it were, dawned upon her for a
moment, as if to render the storm of ad-
versity-which followed still more- gloomy
and afflictive——but which now bid fair to
return again soon, if not with their prim-
itive" brightness, at least with a mellow
light which promised to cheer her through
the~rcmainder of her life. .'”A boustant
correspondence was kept up between her-
-self and B , and he continued his vis-'
its to the family of her sister, with whom
she had resided while in this city. And
hemiouriftaleamust begin to unfold itself.
A few" weeks since the bell rang feebly at
the door of this lady's residence, the in-
iitial of whose husband’s name we omit. ;
audntlie servant ushered in a lady _w-hose

{told but too plainly that her heart strings

ttherewas a-canker in~lier bosom “eating-

she believed notv tliat she could not long
survive, she thr':iiglit. her brot.hcr’s widow
had the-best c.a.iin to the picture, and she
had inquired licr out and brought it.-—
Mrs. -———— liavingnever before heard that
her deceased‘ brotlicr-in-law had a sister
living in the city, was incredulous ‘to-the
story of her, relationship, but took the
picture and promised to write to her sis-
ter. The stranger then departed, re-af-
firniing with earnestness, and a gleam of
womaii’s pride her nea.r consanguinity
with the deceased, and proniising—.sl1ort.ly
to return. .
The lady wrote to her sister the partic
ulars of this interview with her belief that
the stranger was an impostor. The return
of the mail brought a reply, in which Mrs
M for the first time, imparted to
her sister the mclanclioly tale respecting
her deceased liusband"s sister, which we
have given above, and which he had com-
municated to her only after they had left
Philadelphia for the west. Shortly after
the receipt of this letter, the strange lady
called again, apparently, as before, op-
oppressed by the bitterness of grief, and
pining away under the pangs of lle-I‘
burthened bosom. But the lady now
shrunk from‘ her as from the touch of
pollution. The stranger perceivedthis al-
teration in her demeanor, and apprehend-
ed the cause. The color, which had long
been a. stranger to her check, again parti-
ally returned, and her dark blue eyes were
the moment lighted up as she exclaimed
with sudden and unwonted encrgy——“Yesl-'
I am his sister, and your suspicions,
which I wdll understand, are groundless:
I am an unfortunate, an inj_ured, but an
innocent woman: Iamtlie lawful wife
of ”————but checking herself she pro-
ceeded in a subdued tone, “ alas ! I can-
not speak furtlier_” ' For a time
“‘ Her lips moved not, but quiveririgly,
Nor would they aught betray;
Yet more there spoke, her flashing eye,
Than words could ever say ;
.Yes, there was-meaning in her glance.”
Having in a. measure composed her
‘troubled feelings, some furt.her conversa-
tion ensued, in which the blighted fair
one renewed her protestations of innocence
and intimated that while she hadbeen
deserted by her former friends, though
lawfully. married, and the mother of seve-
ral children, yet she had been compelled
silently to bear the reproach that had
been cast upon her-——in' the daily hope
that all the mystery in which her case
was involved, would soon be cleared "up.
But her heart was now fast withering un-
der the disappoints of hope long deferred
Indeed she had hoped until no hope was
left ; and she was now determined, ere
she dropped into the tomb, which must
soon open‘ for her reception to rescue her
fame and virtue from the crul iinputations
under which she was suffering. She then
informed the lady that if her husband
would call at N o. —— in - street, on
a certain day, she would convince him of
the truth of her assertions. Yet she gave
not the remotest intimation as to who was
the husband who had thus contrived ‘to
keep her in seclusion, with but a doubt.-
ful reputation. The doubts of the lady
and her husband were not removed, but
their interests and curiosit.y to veil.which
appeared to hang over the fate of the .un-
happy female, were powerfully awakened.
Meauw_hile, and before the appointed
time for the promised explanationhad
arrived, B_ called as usual, to inquire
after the family, and the health of his in-
tended" bride. He had never been more
cheerful, and -talked with his wouted
frankness and seeming sincerity, of his
approaching nuptials. While the evening
was passing thus pleaantly away the lady
handed him the miniature of his de-
ceased friend, to inquire of him wether it
was a good likeness. He took the pic-
ture, but had no sooner cast his eyes upon
it than it dropped from his hands. For
an instant his countenance was pale as
aslies. Every drop of. blood seemed to
have rushed back upon his heart. I-Iis
lips quiverccl, and he trembled in every
joint. But he recovered his self posession
in a moment, picked up the picture, as
though it had fallen by a common accident
and after a few common place remarks
upon it, left the house, earlier, and more
abruptly than usual. '
The mystery now increased, and a dark
suspicion flashed across their. minds. » His
agitation had been to- obvious not to be
perceived; yet there was no definable
cause for it, only that it appeared to be
strongly connected with the picture.—
True it might have been occasioned by the
sudden i'iew of the well known features
of an endeared and valuable friend, whose.
remiiinsliad for more than three years '
valley. But still the curiosity of the
family was wrought up to a high degree
of intensity ; and although the gentleman
had hitherto doubted the propriety of at-
tending the appointment of the unfortu-
nate female, his resolution was now. fixed
-and he at once deteruiided to visit her at
the time appointed. He did so‘; and
found her in a retired dwelling, melancho-
ly as before, but siiri'oundcd by her
little family, and to all ‘appearance very
comfortably situated. .Slie entered into’
a history of. her lift.-‘and situation, since
her brother had entered the .arniy, seve-
ral years ago. A few. years‘ after his de-
parture, she had received the addresses of '
a gentleman whom he had known as her
brother’s.in-timate friend and associate, to
‘whom’ some ‘six or seven years. since _'she
was privately married. And she was in-
duced to consent that their union should

band, that this privacy was of the utmost

known, but of which he would as certain-

the knowledge of his zigcil i'el:itivc. An-
other motivc for .<.teci'cc_r, he represented
to be soinehcavy pccIlliinJ'_y' l().'~’°.«'.'~', which
would prevent his going to llI)l!.~‘i‘ keeping
in the st_vlc he wishi-d until he should
have retrieved his cii'ciiiiist:iiii~o ~=, which
object would he zicconiplishcd at no dis-
tant day. For a long tiuic though desert-
cd by the-little circle of her friends, she
bore the seclusion cheerfully, and her
liusband often strengthened her resolution
by representing the pleasure they would
all derive when her brother arrived, l'roin
the agreeable surprise it would occasion
him, to find his sister the happy wife Of
his early and constant friend. But from
the day of her nia.i'rage she had not lieard
from her beloved brother ; nor was it Ill)-
til long after his death, that by some ac-
cident, she came to the knowledge of his
marriage in this city, and his subsequent
deceusc. Her heart then sunk within
her, But although the explanations of
her husband were uiisaltisfuctory, still he
had always been kind and attentive to
her (only that he never dined at liome,)
and fearing that the estate would be lost
she had kept the secret witliiu her own
bosoni. And even yet, she said the
secret would not have been wrung from
her, were it not that her owndissolut-ion
appeared to be near, and she was anxious
that her children sliould be able to look
the world in the face without blushing at
the imputation of _ unlawful parentage.~—
VVhile giving this account of herself, she
at times was almost overcome with emo-‘
tion ; and i when speaking of the doubt
and suspicion which had been cast upon
her character.
' ————~-in a gushing stream,
The tears rushed forth fromher o’erclonded
brow,
Like mountain mists at length dissolved
_ in rain. ' _
But she still avoided giving any inti-
mation as to the name of her husband, nor
nor .coiild entreaty induce her to alter her
determination, until she had furt.lier time
and another interview. 7- 'I‘lie conversation
having been changed to the affairs of her
brother and his widow, the gentleman
with apparent carelessness mentioned as
a piece of intelligence that would natur-
ally interest her, that the latter was to be
married again in the spring to B .
But had a bolt been hurled upon her-head
from the angry skies, the shock upon her
feeble frame could hardly have been great-
er. She clasped her liands in an agony
of grief, and as. soon as her agitation
would permit utterance she exclaimed——
“O, God! he is my husband l——Oh l"-
slic continued, “is it possible! But I
see it all now I” and swooned in convul-
sions upon the floor. The shock was se-
vere upou the gentlemen, and had it.not
been for the mysterious incident of the
picture, would have been-uiucli more so ;
but the singular conduct of B on that
occasion, had in measure prepared him
for some strange disclosure. The usual
restoratives liaviug been applied, the un-
fortunate lady was so far recovered as to
speak further upon the subject, and the
secret having been thus divulged, she un-
bnrdeiied her heart more freely, and pro-
ved the truth of her representations, by
producing the certificate of her marriage
from a resident clergymam, who confirms
its genuineness and authenticity.

THE ~V.ii.un or A MINUTE.——A very nice
_legal question is now being discussed in
the English papers and is likely to engage
the attention of the Courts. The late
Earl of Fitzharding had a rent-roll of
$200,000 a. year, payable half yearly on
“ Lady-day” and .“ Michaelmas day”
old style- The latter day,.. this year, fell
on Sunday, the 11th of October, and it
was aboutthe time that Saturday was
passing into Sunday, the earldied. The
moment after his-death the estate belong-
‘ed to another person, and‘ as the rents
were due a second after 12 o’clock on the
10th, if the earl did not breathe his last
until after that hour, the $100,000 goes
with the estate _; if he died before that
hour it forms a part of his personal estate
"and goes in another direction. As the
house clock, the parish clock, and the me-
tropolitan clock, did not happen to agree
that night, the court.s have to fix upon
the true time.

A Frecmeii of Connecticut, who are opposed
to the present National Administration, will be
held at HARTFORD, on WEDNESDAY,..|iiii-
nary lzlth, 1858. at 10 o’clock, A. M., to iioin-
inatc candidates for State Ofiicers for the elec-
tion iii April next, and for the traiisactioii of
any business proper to be done in the present
state of public affairs. The several towns in
the State will appoint delegates equal to twice
the number of Representatives to which they
are respectively entitled in the General As-
sembly; and the Town Coiiimittees are re-
quested to call early meetings in their respec-
tive towns for the appointmciit of such dele-
gates.
The present unhappy condition of our coun-
try in all its interests, exhibits only the legiti-
mate consequences of a wide departure by
the General Government from the wise and
patriotic laws and principles established by
the fathers of the Republic. and the under-
signed belicve that a large majority of the
I-‘reemen of the State are prepared to apply,
so far as in them lies, that remedy which it is
the proper function of the American Frecmeii
to apply when the Government which they
have instituted does not promote the public
good, or the rulers whom they have elected
prove unl'uil.liful to their interest.
The several papers in this State opposed to
the present National Administration, are re-
quested to publish this notice at least once a

Dividend Notice.
PAHQUIOQUE BANK,
Dansuur, Nov. 28, 1857.;
DIVIDEND of 4 per cent. on the Capital
Stock of this Bank has this day been de-
clared, payableon the l0th of December.
Per order of Board of Directors,
W. P. SEELEY, Cashier.
g" The circumstance of a Bank in Puri-
tunic Connecticut. and especially in Fair-field
County, persistent in a scheme of pitiful swin-
dling (for their mode of redemption is nothing
less), having received of the public ten hun-
dred dollars for every thousand of its discred-
ited bills, and loo poor, or too dishonest, to
redeem their promises to payunless at a shave
of ten dollars on the thous'and—and yet so
rich, and so shameless, as to flaunt the au-
nouncement of .a four per cent. dividend on
the earnings of’ the last six months,is such an
anomaly in the scale of Bank morals, that we
are disposed to-givetheir announcement the
gratuitous benefit of our circulation. As the
sailor remarked, upon seeing a ruiuseller kick
out a poor besotted mortal from whom he had
got his last fartliing, “ if the devil don’t get
that l'cllow, there’s no use having any devil,”
so say we ; if the Bank Commissioners don't
strengthen the weak morals of such ucoucern,
there's no use in having Biiik Commissioners.
But whether they do or not, we very much
mistake the public rcprobution of all such
dislinooruble means of earning div idends, if
the people do not, through their legislators,
next spring. call all such chartered doiicerns
to a strict account. ‘

railroad track, near Bcdford, last week, with
his team, the locomotive of the cattle trniu
came dnshingupon him. He had time only
to wheel them f'rom the track, and springing
to their heads to hold them, one of the horses,
in its fright, fell upon him, and, on regaining
its feet, dragged him a considerable distance
before they could be subdued. Although
badly bruised, he inaintainv.-d his hold, and
doubtless saved his valuable team.

Westport.
One .of the Westport Packet sloops came
into harbor on Sunday last, and cast anchor
just below the village. On the receding of
the tide, it was discovered that she had quar-
tered herself securely upon a sharp point of
rock, cutting a hole in her bottom, and cans-
ing her to sink on the flowing in of the tide.
She was principally loaded with cotton, which
will be saved in a damrged condition.

The Times.
We copy the following sensible and well
timed opinions from the New York Tribune
of Thursday:
What are the prospects of Industry
and Business for the year about to open ?
This is a question which thousands are
now anxiously pondering, and which huii-
dreds of thousands oiigbt to weigh care-
fully before entering upon engagements
for 18.58. Let us first regard some of the
unfavorable aspects of our position.
I. We are heavily in de-bt—in debt to
Europe and among ourselves. People
are £l.CCl1Sl0lll(3(l‘l.0 talk of the extent of
our Bank discounts and circulation, when
in fact these added together ‘amount but
to a fraction of our indebtedness. Mer-
cantile credits, Mortgages—many of them
overdue and owing to men who want.
thc_ir iuoncy—inere debts of accommoda-
tion, &c., amount to a fearful aggregate.
We believe. there are considerable cities,
if not whole counties, in this country,
which would not sell on the 1st of J anna:
ry at auction for cash enough to pay the
debts of. their inhabitants.
II. Our produce must generally be
sold at low figures. There is no use in
seeking to disguise ‘this fact. Nearly ev-
ery product of the soil is selling, or must
be sold, at from twenty to sixty per cent
below the prices of last year-—belo-.v
those which the farmers expected to re-
alize ivhep they planted. They have paid
high prices for labor, and now must sell
its product. at low prices. We hold it ab-
surd, thereforc, to maintain that the Ag-
riculturists of the United States are ex-
empt from the generzil depression. As a
__c]5;'ss’ they are in de_bt_—-not so deeply,
perhaps, as other classes, but still in debt
——and while their creditors are pressing,
their means of payment are diminished by
the currency contraction. Individuals
are out of debt and in easy circumstan-
ces, but the farming class shares deeply
in the common sufi'ei-iiigs.
III. As to Manufacturers, Merchants,
and Sliip-owiiers, they never saw harder
times than the present. Not merely the
great Cotton and Woolen mills to which
the term M_zn_iufactoi'iea is popularly ap-
plied, but the production "of hats, boots
and. shoes, clothing, .&c., &_c,, is in the
lowest stage of depression. There are
more factories and Workshops idle or ms-
king short t_ime..at ‘this moment in the
Union than ever before. Trade is nearly
«lead in the great seaports, and mercan-
lilo houses wliicli lately sold flu-ii’ Iulllivllfi
worth ])('l'lllllllIlll and t‘.\'ll‘l‘lll('(l tlii-iiis:-lws
wcultliy and iinprcgnalalc, are ¢:il.ln:i' sus-
pended and vainly ciulcuvoring: to collect
their debts and pay their cI‘(-<lll.m'S, or
trcnibling on the brink of iusoli'cncy.——
Our shipping interest is also depressed to
a. serious extent. All the factories in tho
connt.ry could not be sold on the 1st of
January iiext for lizilftheir cost, while the
depreciation in the value of vessels with-
in the last six months can hardly be less
than twciity-fivc—pci' cent.
IV, VV4: are llireatcued with a polil.i—
cal criisiulc against the Banks which can
liurdl_v fail to iiiteiisify the present. pres-
sure of the commercial revulsion, whatev-
cr may be its ultiniate result. The sig-
iial of this crusade may be expected in
Mr. l5iu2lianan’s forthcoming iiicssagc.
-—So much forthc darker side of the
iiiiiiiecliutc prospect. : now let us look at
the brighter:
V. Our late liarvcst, thougli popular-
ly cxagcrated, is undoubtedly a full ave-
rage. . Wheat. in our State, and potatoes
quite cxtciisively, were_ failurc_s ; but
there is at least an average wheat crop in
the whole country, with more grass, hay,
butter, cheese, indian corn, rye, oats, roots
and pork, than were produced in any for-
mer season. Cotton and tobacco are a
‘full average ; sugar cane probably a
fair yield, with more from the maple this
year than ever before, and a good liegiii-
ing made this year in producing sirup
from the sorghum; On the whole, through
the diversion of l-.ibor iiit.o other channels
till near the close of the season was ex-
cessive, our agriculture has prodiiced
more in 185’? than ever before. And the
fact that we are now one of the largest
gold-producing nations in the world, ad-
ding some fifty millions per unnuni to the
general stock of the precious metals,
must not be disregarded. I t is a small
item compared with our grass or corn
crops, but it counts
VI. Our foreign debt, though heavy,
has not been contracted to support arma-
ncnts or gratify vicious appctitcs—not
devoted to objects which “perish in the
iising.” ‘Va have to balance that debt
the most compreliensive and useful system
of railroads on the globe. M any of those
railroads are bad investments for the
stockholders, yet worth their whole cost.
to the coinmnnity. As a whole, they are
certainly worth, as facilities to agricul-
ture and trade as portions of our coun-
try’s innchincry of production, at least
five hundred millions ofdollars which is
the liighest estinmte we have seen of our
foreign debts.
VII. Our faictorics, worlcsliops, stores,
houses, &c., though temporarily unpro-
ductive, and in soniecascs in advance of
our-actual needs, are mainly durable, and
will all soon be needed. They are real
and lasting additions to the national
weallli,‘tliongh often involving individual
embarrasment and loss. ‘V0 shall need
to biiihl little comparitively for some
years to conic, and may devote more labor
to productive avocations.
' VIII. \Vc have a most efficient labor-
ing population, with few liereditary idlers,
a moderate public debt, and but the sha-
dow ofa standing army. Our twenty-
fivc millions of people can produce more
in 1858 than the thirty.-five millions of
France. VVe can produce very mncli
that Europe must have, and can produce
nearly everything requisite for our own
subsistence. \Ve have a. bounteous soil,
9. genial though trying climate, great min-
eral wealth, and more timber than any
other couutr ', Great Britain, in her colo-
nies, and Russia excepted. We can eas-
ily, if we will, work out of all our difi’cul-
lies and pay oil’ our debt within a few
years.
IX. And we are now on the right
tack. Our imports are moderate, our ex-
ports niore considerable. We have sud-
denly becouie frugal in our lmliits, and
circui'nspect in our business opei=:u’.ioi1s..—
IVc are settling off debts at home, and
beginning to reduce our obligations
abroad. On every side, rcti'eiiclinielit,
cconiny, saving is the order of the (ltl)’.—-
The first stages of iniproveuieut are slow
and the gain imperceptible, but the scale
is tnrneiliii our favor, and will not soon
be reversed. WV: are not likely to forget
the lesson of i857 in a liuiry.
X. Our banks and currency have on
the whole stood the strain of this tremen-
dous revulsion_a.dinirably. The nominal
suspension of specie payments, where one
hundred and one dollars in the notes of
suspended l.)Z1lIl{S would buy one liiiiidred
dollars of gold and silver, and latterly
considerable more than that, is of no prac-
tical iiccount. 'l‘o talk of the banks
which have kept their paper tlirougliont
the pressure barely below l.lic specie point,
and nliiliitlclitly _g0_0tl for the payment of
debts and piircliase of comiiiodities, as
having failed, if is to abuse language atro-
ciousl y. Where the accounts are balanced,
we think it will appear that there has
been more loss lllL‘lll'l'€(l during this pres-
sure by bank failures in Great Britain
than in this country, and more here by
banks ‘,\'lllL‘l_l issue _uocurreucy tlian by
others. _
XI. IV hat we now most urgently need
is some kind of employment. for our wait-
ing lalior, until it can be gradually ali-
sorbcd by the revival of activity in our
silent factories, shops ship-yards, _."sc.--—
3Auy man who will find work for one man
or woman more than he now employs is
a. public benefactor. Laboi‘ is cheap, is
willing, (though individuals may act mi-
rensonably,) and is in urgent need. \\’e
entreat every one who can do so, there-
fore, to employ as many of the needy as
he can possibly pay for t.lic first three
months of the ensuing year. You can-
not of course pay the wages of better
times, but pay as liberally as you can,
and do not improve your '_opp_ort_unity lg
grind the faceiof the poor. ' Al.the. cities
and manufacturing villages are full of un- l
employed men, women and children ; if
you have no neighbors in want of work,

is right, and in less than :1. year we
