shortly take place; when a message arrived
to Captain Sitigleton from his brother’s
widow, residing in London, who was on her
death-bed, requesting his presence, and ear-
nestly entreating him to bring Miss Brock-
ley along swith him.
Captam Singleton seemed much agitated | 5
f by these tinexpected tidings, which opened
; up wounds that had long been healed, and
also by the singular wish, which was of
t course to be complied with; and Winny
herself described to me what took place.
On their arrival, Captain Singleton con-
ducted her to the bedside of the invalid,
who seemed strangely excited on beholding
her.
“T have wronged you both,” said the dy-
ing woman; “you have already forgiven
me, Captain Singleton, but how can I ex-
pect pardon from this poor orphan girl,
whom I have for years known to be the
child of my sister?”
J “ At these words,” said Winny, “ Captain
Singleton started, and turned towards me
with a look as if awaking from a dream;
without perceiving this, my aunt contin-
ued:
) “6Pride forbade my acknowledging re-
lationship with one who, by the position she
‘had chosen, seemed to have disgraced me.
We were orphans, like Winny. The mis-
tress of the school at which she had been
placed, for her own interest, complied with
my entreaty to be silent on the subject of
if my sister’s imprudent marriage, and so the
Y circumstance faded from the recollection of
all save myself. But my injustice to my
niece has been an incessant reproach to me.
Your generosity, Captain Singleton, on the
death of your brother, and which I so little
merited at your hands, claimed some return.
I knew the gratification this avowal would
have been to you, and yet pride kept me
silent; but [could not die in peace until I
had done justice to Winny—tardy, indeed,
but which will, I trust, yet obtain me her
J pardon, and give hope and tranquillity to
the few hours allotted me.’”
The poor lady died that night, and on
their return home after the funeral, Captain | *
Singleton said to me with uncontrollable de-
light:
“Now, Miss Howard, I’ve solved the mys-
tery of Winny’s first fascination.” :
$ ' But who was to give Winny away? |}
Captain Singleton proposed to send for
Abel Grey, as a proper compliment to that
worthy man. Cheerfully he obeyed the
summons, and bestowed the hand of his
“Jittle pet”—as he called her—upon one
who loved her with perhaps the strangely
blended feelings of a father and a hus-
and. .
Before that happy day, young Oakdale
—that no one might labor under the mis-
take of his being left to wear the willow—
, F consoled himself with an insipid, unintel-
lectual beauty, somewhat passé by the by,
but then she boasted of a pedigree as an-
cient as his own.
Captain Singleton would not hear of my
resigning my situation, now comparatively a
sinecure ; and what was perhaps still more
\ generous, insisted on my accompanying
i himself and Mrs. Singleton on a trip to
i Scotland, where, loaded with presents for
: the family, we all once more, but under such
different circumstances, assembled round

Arrention tim Courr.—A friend has
just been mentioning that on one occasion
e was addressing the “court” at the bar in
one of the middle States, when his attention
was arrested by a singular circumstance.
Me observed that when he dwelt upon a
point which he wished particularly to en-
torce, “ the court’s ” head occasionally went
down behind the elevated desk, and pres-
ently rose again.
Changing his position slightly, he saw the
m: ystery. of. this singular occurrence ; an
when next it was repeated, he paused in his
remarks, and sai
“When ‘the court’ has finished cating its
