she paid her grocer's bill, and which had son to Louisa, with others. for pocket money. How clear that these were the rewards of perfidy ! flow could the officers ofjustice be direct- ed to proceed ? “ Why," replied the uncle, “neither be angry, nor talk nonsense; it Louisa’s conduct, send her back to her father, and do not let the tranquil- lity of my house be disturbed by such vagaries.” This was determined to be carried into effect as soon as pos- sible; and the aunt insisted that Han- nah should be sent off instantly, which was accordingly done. The uncle, on investigation, per- reived great perseverance in his neice's correspondent; he disliked being herjailor, seeing the impossi- bility of fulfilling the duties, and he determined on seeing the genteel young man at the inn where he ha taken up his quarters, in Opposition to the advice of his lady,who thought a very different treatment proper for such an impertiuent fellow. The uncle having called on Mr. Cook,saw him a youth of fine features, good figure. and of prepossessing manners; and in the course of conversation, felt himself somewhat in the bac.. ground, while quotations from the ex- amples in the Eton grammar were interspersed without rhyme or rea- son, to all of which the old gentle- man could only umpli, and wish ltlm° self well out ofthe house. He learn- ed, however, that William Frederick Cook was resolved to love Louisa eternally, and so took his leave very much dissatisfied with his visit. He now wrote to Louisa’s father explain- ing all the particulars; gave her twenty pounds, and saw her with her handboxes placed in the coach for London, stating to the coachrnan that he should see the young lady safely delivered as directed. But Mr. Cook was not to be baffled. By spies iii the house, he knew all the movements of the family, and took proceedings accordingly. He joined Louisa on the road,having previously taken his place, and they concerted measures by which to prevent others from thwarting or interfering with their happiness. ..

Adog that lay under the bench uttlio time was killed dead by the same shot.
