Surely there would be danger in venturing across to Lymington on such a night !' ‘ Nonsense, Mary ; with the wind in the present quarter, the sea between the two shores is quite smoolh.’ Finally, it was determined that he should set out at once ; Mrs. Oakley and her daughter to follow, on the day after tomorrow, at their leisure. His preparations did not occupy more than a couple of mid ales, and hastily embracing his ttifc and child, he hurried out of ltouse,-and soon reached the quay. The boat was ready, and he was instantly embarked.

He was not positively ill-lookinrr: his features, separately considered. wore well enough; but there was a sinister sneer about his tliiii, colorless lips a fawning malignancy playing in his deep-set eyes, that rendered his sallow Visage excessively repul- Sive. ‘You may retire, Mr. Danbv,’ said Oakley. The clerk obeyed, and the. merchant and his unwcl. come visitor were alone together. The interview lasted about a quart- er of an hour, at end of which time the door opened, and both passed into the clerk’s counting-house. ‘ Mr. llardy will resumed his situation IO-HIDH‘OW , morninfl,’ said tlte merchant hurriedly.
