You have broken your promise to me, Mr. Morland. You have let him go without a word. He does not know I have loved him all these long years."

Tom was wounded by her words. "I would have laid down my life to have brought him back," he said. "I do not wish to speak against him, or to urge his faults as a reason for your ceasing to regret him. Think of him as leniently as you will. Only have patience with yourself, Letitia. You have made too many happy around you to fail to find peace now.”

"If I could have seen him!" she said, weeping bitterly. "It was cruel of you not to let me see him."

"You have seen him," he said, scarcely knowing what he was saying in his distress. She looked breathlessly in his face. "On the day of the school-feast," he said, "when you were playing with the children,

Six years have passed since Tom's May-day feast, the results of which have tended to make the Beauchamp corner of the world a happier one. Mr. Thorpe has married Jane Wortleby, and she has never ceased from her kindly endeavors to promote the welfare of her sisters. Three of them she has already disposed of in matrimony, and she has strong hopes and cheering prospects for the rest. Tom has lost none of his interest in the parish. By his side runs a bright-eyed boy, with his small hand always locked in that of his father, to whom he is companion and playmate during the greater part of the day. Tom laughs when the school-children even now address his wife as Miss Letitia, for he has called her so himself many times since their marriage; and Letitia has grown a happy, comely looking matron,—but, certainly the reverse of thin.

"Nearly twenty years have now elapsed since I commenced this work. Had I foreseen that the whole labor of the composition must fall upon me, or the project be abandoned, and had I foreseen the length of time that it would require of me, unaided, I should certainly not have had the courage to undertake it.

For seven years, in Cairo, I prosecuted my task on each of the work-days of the week, after an early breakfast until within an hour of midnight, with few and short intervals of rest (often with no interruption but that of a few minutes at a time for a meal, and half an hour for exercise) except on rare occasions when I was

It is not likely, however, that their teaching will reach the multitude, or that despotism will cease to rely on the congenial institution of universal suffrage; and it may, therefore, be feared that the English Government and nation will continue to be disliked and abused, especially as all European foreigners read French, while the Americans feed their angry passions even more fully by the use of a common tongue. As it is not convenient, even for the sake of conciliating general good will, to abolish Church and State, it may be respectfully suggested to foreign censors that they should make some little inquiry into the character and customs which they habitually misrepre

It was on a brilliant morning, in one of the last days of April, that Colonel James Delancey took his final departure from West Farms. A bright vernal sun gilded hill and plain, birds sang their matin hymns, and early flowers were beginning to bloom. All nature seemed to revel in the freshness of infancy. Under such circumstances the youthful heart beats high. Even the weary

[Read before the New York Historical Society, 1861]. Ir had now long been evident (A.D. 1783) that the war was drawing to a close, and those Whigs whom civil strife had driven into voluntary exile, had been for some time returning. The refugees from above, and the loyalists in general who had been active supporters of the crown, were busied with preparations to leave their native country, for the purpose of seeking new homes in the wilderness of Nova Scotia. Although to these the Government of Great Britain lent its aid with no stinted hand, yet when they came to abandon the land of their fathers, it was with saddened spirits and "lingering looks behind," like those who underwent the primeval banishment from Eden.

But the welcome sounds and cheerful sights that move in the pageant of spring, awakened no responsive feelings in the "Outlaw of the Bronx," who, with a heavy heart mounted his horse, and riding to the dwellings of his neighbors, bade them each farewell. The last upon whom he called, though much his senior in years, had been a friend and associate from early life, and was just returned to the farm, which civil dissension had compelled him for awhile to abandon. "Hunt," said the colonel, “I have called to bid you good-by. I hope you may prosper. "" "I don't know how that will be," answered the husbandman. Peace, it is true, has come at last, but I am now a poor man with a large family to provide for.

The Commonwealth of New York, by a formal act of her Legislature, had withdrawn from him her protection, had declared his estate, real and personal, to be forfeited to the people; had banished him forever, and in case of his return to the State at any future time, declared him thereby guilty of felony, and sentenced him to death without benefit of clergy. Yet notwithstanding his attainder and the approaching relinquishment of royal authority, he had clung to his early home with all the fondness of an

It was in vain that he struggled to suppress feelings which shook his iron heart. Nature soon obtained the mastery, and he burst into tears. After weeping with uncontrollable bitterness for a few moments, he shook his ancient friend by the hand, ejaculated with difficulty, the words of benediction: “God bless you, Theophilus!

They are troubled, for instance, with the thought of either continuing slavery or abolishing it in a State which shall voluntarily return to the Union, expecting to save her "peculiar institution." Now, no such case has arisen, nor is there any immediate probability of seeing such. On the contrary, the probability rather is, that the rebellion will have to be so ground out of each State that slavery will go with it, according to the actual experience of the war. This would remove the whole practical difficulty.
