te"' ot W"etC UC WdS SOItSS OF WUAt aWuIt~ ed him; and the thoughts that occupied his wiIe's mind the reader will soOn be a- blc to indge for himself. Turning the cor ner ot q street Tudor beheld few rods in 1 front of hiM splendid dwelling, towards which inc wife seemed to direct her steps as his own, and into the front door of which they soon entered. The room into which Tudor was Ushered by his wife, was fur nisl'ed in style of the greatest rnagnifi- cence. She seated him in chair, telling him to make himself contenled for min ute or two, aud then. passed into another room.

 The first one here to address her, was her uncle, who on seeing her enter the chair, and calling her by name,t demanded how she had escaped from her roonl, and where she had been. Her only answer was,

 Thou fiend of human shape, allow you just one hour to remove your effects from this house. The actual possession of myproperty here you long deprived me of, and vainly thought you had made arrange ments by which you could have deprived mo oft through life; but I have frustra- ted your wicked designs-I ann now miss tress of my own house, for was this mo- ment married, and my husband is" now in the front room.'

 I must now leave the newly married couple for a short time, for the purpose of reverting to the previous history of Mrs. Tudor. She was the only child of a very wealthy gentleman, whom I shall designate as Mir. A. not recollecting his actual name, and for the samo reason, shall give to his daughter the name of Eliza. He had spar ed neither time nor expense in the educa- ton of his daughter, she being the only ob- ject of his care and regard, his wife hay- ing died when quite young; and before his death, which took place when she was IA or Is years of age, he had the satisfaction of witnessing her one of the most accom- plshed and beautiful young ladies of Lon- don. tsth

 A short time previous to his death, an arrangement was entered into between MT. A. and brother of his, by which his broth- CT was to have possession of his dwelling. house, his servants, horses, carriages, and such other property as had not been depos- tied In the banks for the benefit of his daughter, till the time of her marriage, when the possession of them was to be giy-

 

 en up to her husband. 2

 It was condition of the agreement that in case Elixa died without nsaEfyiHg, tie property was to go to her uncle and his family. ....... ..,..-

 Immediately after the death of Mr. A. his brother removed into his dwelling; Eliza boarded in his family and every thing went oD very agreeably for some months, when Eliza discovered in her un- cle and his family the manifestations that she should never marry-the reason for which, from what lIas already been said, must be obvious to every reader. Un- luckily for Eliza, she did not discover the diabolical plot in season to frustrate it in it's bud. It was nothing less than this: to shut her up in one of the centro rooms of the third story of the house to prevent her leaving it by keeping the doors and windows thoroughly bolted, and refuse her associates by telling them, when they cal- led, that she was either at school or was at some of the shops on business, or had taken ride in the country for health. and to see some of her relations. or by telling them something else equally destitute of truth.

 Eliza generally received her meals through a small door in the ceiling, from the hands of her unfeeling aunt, to whotn her cries for liberation from her lonely and dismal prison house, were as intellectual as they would have been had they been dis creted to the idle wind. .t.sst<.t Three years was the unfortunate girl thus shut out from all communication with the world, when one morning her scanty breakfast was carried to her by an old fe- male servant of her father. Eliza, once more discovering the face of her old friend and servant Juan, burst into tears, and att tempted several times to speak, but was un- able to. Juan well understood the mean- ing of these incOherent sobbings, and said, !, herself almost unable to speak from emo- ton, "Hush, hush, Eliza, Mistress; speak not ! understand all. Your tyrant aunt was taken suddenly ill last night, and the Doctor says it is doubtful whether she long survives. I will see you again at noon, and at evening. Some of our old servants have long been planning means for your escape, and are now in the hopes of effect ing it," and without waiting for Eliza's thanks and blessings, .iripped down stairs. Eliza, although unable for some time to partako of her simple repast. did so ut last. with a better xest than she had ever before. Her old servants were still about the house, and were bent upon her rescue. Most welcome, soul inspiring intelligence
