Every hour made me more in love with Constance, and the quiet manner in which i lived, together with good eating and drinking (tor Mrs. Robinson kept an excellent table), 'were making me quite plump and vigorous. My anxie- ties in the conflict with my uncle about Matilda Moggs had some- what thinned and weakened me; but I was now getting as strong as a prize-fighter, and as sleek as an Adonis. Whateverdestiny await- ed me, it would find me. then in good condition. One morning in pure vacuity of mind, I took an old penny from my pocket and threw it up in the air, saying, gracious knows why head or woman? It came down woman. Did that trean that 1 should marry Matilda ? or that some hitherto unheard oflot awited me in this litle world of women, where the very air I breathed was femi- nine? The place was a very dove. cot of girls; my ears were yet fill- ed with the fluttering and rustling at their plumage, as they had flitt- ed about that gallery. on the morn- from which my imprisonment took date. It was on Tuesday of the third week that I had again to be in- spected and handled by another man ; this time it was a tailor. Concluded from our last. Icannot, within the space at my disposal, give any detailed account of the manner in which my days passed, and of my frequent conver- sations with Constance and Mrs. Robinsonâ€"though l flatter myself they will be lound interesting when I do relate them. Our chief topics were, what a. nice girl once indicated to me as Love-and-stufl Oh Mr. Witherington, said she, I do so like your book; it’s all about Love-and-stuff. But by the Law ol'contrast,we necessarily came to speak of Nunneries. I believe I began it mysell, by quoting Luth- er's letter of the 6th of August, 1524, to the Independent Nuns, and relerring to the lree convent at Konigleld. In the course ol these conversations I had frequent rea- son to observe that Constance al- ways appeared to lose sell control when convents and lay-sisterhoods came up, speaking of them with a vehement dislike for which I was at a loss to account. But it was very accountable, as I learned in the sequel. l was told that it, was my duty to permit myself to be measured for a new suit ol clothes, and that the style had been all settled for me beforehand. All I had to do was to submit my precious person to the tape of the artist. I did sub- mit, without even asking who was to pav his bill. I must not omit to mention that I was permitted to see the Times. The maid who used te take away the breakfast things told me that Miss Burgess used to bring it into the room and spread it out before the fire wth her own hands. One morning I saw, in the second column, the ioilowing advertise- ment :â€" MARRIED BY MAIN FORCE. To GEORGE W ING TON. Unless you yelurg before Christmas ’Though that truth to thee most awful 0ft hath made thy sorrow flow Like a stream most dark and dismal, ’Mongst huge rocks of grief and woe. For I’ll seek in contrite spirit Aid from heaven’s eternal King, And when I through Christ receive it, Evermore His praise I’ll sing. Grieve not love like she whose Stu-row Hath outlived the bliss of hope, But believe each coming morrow, Brings that heavenly flower more scope. A DRUNKARD’S FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE. “Fare the well 1” but not forever Would I bid adieu to thee, And tho’ far and long we sever, Thou wilt aye be dear to me. True my sins by which I’ve grieved thee Must have all but seared thy heart, Yet I beg thou wilt forgive me All these wrongs, ere I depart. Then once more I’ll shun the tyrant, Who hath o debased my soul, That £0 sin I feel so pliapt, Hell appears my cértain'goal. glimmm. RICHMOND HILL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1867. Emily. “ Let Sound Reason weigh more withus than Popular Opinion.” 1 think, dear Miss Burgess, we have pushed our logic as far as it will go. said I ; it is now lime to have recourse to the ultima. ratio. Uttering lhese words, I made a little spring towards the key, being just in lime, and barely, to prevent Constance from putting it into her pocket. She- did not, however, ring for James; and we engaged in a dainty little snuggle for the key. In short, lgotit away from tel-Land held it up in triumph. Dear lady, I replied, speaking very softly; dear, beautiful lady ! pray accept the key, and let me re- new the seal of my oath. Con- stance now drew nearer to meâ€"oi course. in order to receive the key. When she came close enough, i slipped one arm around her waist, and gave her a good sound kiss on her warm pink cheek. She snatch- ed the key, and scuttled away. I was dreadlully in love with her. Time passed on, until my deten- tion had lasted a sufficient number of weeks for my never Very vehe- ment feelings upon the mere sub- ject of the restraint to have entirely cooled down; and, in fact, i was a free man ifl pleased to become so. Buttons, the page, was the only male person about the place, ex- cept now and then the gardner: and i could have made good my departure in a hundred ways, if I had so pleased. But I did not please, so strong was the lascina- tion exerctsed by the eyes of that darling turnkey. Nay, l telt my- self bound by a whimsical sense of honour not to attempt to penetrate the secrets of my prison-house. Only once did i trespass against the law 1 had laid down for my own guidance, when strolling in the garden I asked the page if this house I was in was a madhouse. And now you have got the key, said constance, fixing her eyes up- on me._ so that I felt more than ever certain she was a medium (ofsome celestial force or other)«-and now you have got the kev. I’ will ask you to give it back to me, in vuue of your oa1h. But how if I take it? I (1er you. I can procure as- gislance. r Leap. ring'atek; Ja mes. And 'you are decidedly of opinoin that 1 cannot be permitted to leave lhi_s_p1ace_:«.§t7pr§:senlP said I. th until ['give you up the key, replied the mesmeric darling,flush- ing. Do not come so near] No, my friend, I replied ; no, I am not mad; I have, on the con- trarv escaped madness. I was thinking. as you will guess, of what would have been my fate it 1 had married Matilda Moggs. It were a maddus, once, sir, said be. but It ain't. a madst now: not without you're a madman. sir. Time flew quickly by, and Christmas was approaching. On the evening ofl'ne 23rd of Decem- ber Conglance was unusually seri- ous. 5119 had b92229 crying, I saw, End the good soul left the Foom. As for Constance, she carried on the argument. By no means, said Mrs Robin- son: we couldn’t think nt it. We are glad, sir, to have such a guar- amee oflhe respectability of your connexions. In fact, this advertiseâ€" ment is a reason for keeping you rather than for letting you go. My dear Constance, I am obliged to step into the pantry for a few m0- ments. Will you carry on the argument with Mr. Witherington. The advertisement proceeding to give an exact description of my person, down to a mole under the left shoulder blade. Come, thought I, if Constance has read this ad- vertisement, she knows more about me than I do about her. How do I know whether she has got a mole anywhere? (I had been reading Sir Thomas More's Utopia.) How- ever, 1 rejoiced a little in the op- portunity which was given me by this advertisement of provingl was a person of some consequence. So I showed it to Constance when she looked into see me that evening, and asked her if she did not think [ ought to go away.

I 'Wmlhimefimlicw darling. and mingled mytresses with hers. She did not rebuke me, and I be» gan to say incoherent things in plaintive murmurs. Then I kissed her very much. But she suddenly started back. It’s only for to-morrowâ€"for part ol to-morrow. But I want you lo obev her implicin in all that she commands. Promise me. Mus! l, said 1: really?l Yes, indeed you must. It would keep coming down woman. Well, said I, I promise. Thank you, George, replied my darling, and. turning crimson from her ears to her shoulders, darted out of the room, just as Mrs. Robin- son enlered il, handing filo that lady her keyâ€"the symbol ol authorityâ€" as she passed out. Mrs. Robinson shook her kind malronly head, and reminded me of my vow of obedience. Well. Mr. Wilherington, your new suit has .come home. You will find it in Your sleeping apartment. And you w111 oblige me by reading 0Vcr Ihis evening in lhe prayer book the Form of Bap- tlsm for such as are of riper years. No: we are very busy for a few hours. My advice to you is to calm your mind, and endeavour to obtain a good night‘s sleep. Is there anything Constance or I can do for you, in the way oi preparing you for your destiny? Now the curious palt nfthe busi- ness is that l was born on Christ- mas Eve; and this question was pul with as much solemnity as if 1 had been going to be hanged in the morning. Yet I felt sure I was not, and replied, with feigned non- chalanceâ€" Nothing at all, thank you. 1 am qugte regdy._ And isthat what you've been crying about? said i. Believe me dear Constanceâ€"dear Miss Bur- gess, l meanâ€"l would accept an destiny that would gratify you! f it is woman. let it be Woman. I daresay it might be worse. what- ever it is. And as to heads. let us lay our heads together, and see what can be done. Mr. Witheringlon, said she, I forgot part of what I had to say. I am under the necessity of hand- mg you overâ€"- VHianding me over? I exclaimed, in much distrese. Yes. T0 Mrs Robinson. Oh, come now. said I, pleading pleading hard: I'd rather you’d keep me. Don't you think Mr. Withering- ton, says the arch beautv. don’t you think there would be something profane about that? No, I have invoked the oracle,and [ will abide by what it says. Another and a still deeper sigh. The while should- ers as they rose and fell, nearly maddened me. h So, being left to myself, 1 took upthe prayer b00k,read first the part indicated. and then right on, Cateâ€" ghism, Confirmation, Matrimony, But if you are unwilling to ac- ceptthe oracle, said I, couldn't you toss up again, to see if you should abide by the result oflhe first toss up? yet she did not look unhappy. Mrs. Robinson left her alone with me for a few minutes. and I, of course, inquired what she had been crying about. l say of course, because we had now come to be on terms of tenderness and freedom which had yet sufficient distance in them to make the situation piquante and stimulating in a degree that would, by itself alone, have prevented my life from stagnaling. What, my beautiful turnkey, said I, is on your mind this eveningl Your fate, Mr. W'itherington, she l replied, is decided ! and here she‘ sighed deeply. Yes, it is all over so far as your destiny is concerned. Mrs Robinson and l have done nothing but toss up for the last half~hour, and it keeps coming down Woman. It never came Heads once. Then my destiny is Woman? Yes. That is the way we settls ed it beforehand. My dear boy, said she,Constance has a large fortune in her own right, and it is all even between you and her; for you have been the means of saving her from a fate which she dreaded more than death. He was not long in finding her, and then fell upon her neck ex- claimiug. Oh my dear 7 my dear! That horrid case in the Times has quite changed my views of conventual life? I do not mean to put you mto a nunnery now? And here we heard loud voices in the hall, and by-and by an obsti- nate looking old gentleman hurried in, crying ‘ Where’s Constance, where's my daughter"! ’I am married to hergéir? Marri. ed by Main Force this very morn- ing ! In a few minutes we found our- selves inside the sacred edifice. Not many seconds elapsed belore l was followed by Constance, who was accompanied by Mrs. Robin- sOn, the medical gentleman that pounded My ribs. and a couple of young ladies. As for her dress. it was as little fit for the purposes of baptism as my own. It was the dress of abride, as mine was the dress ofa bridegroom. The old doctor gave her awayâ€"t0 me ; and the old phrenologist stood at my el- bow. And 71 don’t mean to let you, said 1, confronting Mr. Burgess. 7 Pray, whdi have yofiito do with my Constance? he induired. This is all vey well, and 1 love Constance madly; but what am I to do with her? 1 have made no way in my prolession. and my uncle will cut me off with a shill- ing for not. marrying Matilda Moggs?

At the first moment I could find 1 went anxiously up to Mrs Robin- son, and said to herâ€" It was {my destiâ€"ny, said I ; it would keep coming down, Wo- man.

The morning was not so far ad- vanced as to have lost its freshness when orders came, by the moth of James, that l was to dress my- self for going to church. For thls purpose 1 was allowed an hour. At the end of that time my old friend the phrenologisl was let into my room. After he had bade me good morning, he gave me a dig in the ribs,and inquired if I fellas if I could go through it. And James brought up a bottle of champagne, which we drank between us. You know I’m going wllh you ? "said the pfiéfifiifigist, who. lperceived, had a. new suit ofclolhes like myself. Yes; come along, you know. said he, when James once more tapped at thedoor; and belore I knew wherel was,l was hustled down stairs, across the from gard- en. and out of the gate into the carriage. We both got. inside, and it drove of rapidlv towards a church in the outskirts of the village. It was, whenl awoke the next day, a beautiful morning. By's‘bme instinct or other 1 dressed myseli in the new suit. I found a bouquet on my breakfast table, along with several pairs of white gloves. The Times was there as usual, and 1 read in it along story of painful disclosures about some half-nun- nery in the suburbs of Londonâ€"â€" neither Protestant nor Romanisl,but something of a pinchbeck orderâ€"a story in which a bad priest and a worse LadySuperior had been play- ingat torture with the young ladies. Ofcourse, I thought of the dislike which Constance always expressed for these institutions, but my mind rapidly came round to the bouquet. inside the latter, I tound two scented little billets. In one of them were the words,â€"-From Con- stance, with the :late and nothing more. In the other was a plain gold ring, with these words.â€"-Mrs. Robinson has to request that Mr. Witherington will place this ring‘ in his left waistcoat pocket. and at- tend to the orders which she may send up by James.
