tho closo of tho war is not known to
tho writer. But it seems probablo
that when the American troops loft

quit tho army and resided with a Mr.
Humphrey, near Providence, who car
ried on tho business of saddler and
harness-maker. Whether ho was an

though by no means ill-looking, and
j'ist six and twenty, was only "in a

For six months Belinda Bellows had
been waiting for Mr. Softheart to pro-
tlr
pose, and crowiny t verv dav mor
survive have reason to respect his, certain that lu-positively intended to
nn.l roc-m-il him hh a kind pmeo Ins brown stone mansion and
momory,
and indulgent father. He was a mem
ber of tho Congregational church, and
lived according to its reqnirementb.

Connecticut. Whether ho worked at , scss. Judge Turner, liko most other mon
tho saddler's trade after ho loft Hum-, was not indifferent to the distinction
phroy, is uncertain. Ho seems not to
have been satisfied with his mcchani-
regard to his education, or to help
him afterwards iu his businoss ougago
lnonts; and whatever his attainments
bank account at her disposal.
But, though Mrs. Bellows was kind
enough to allow the cook to summon
her to consultations when Mr. Soft
heart called, and so leave the pair tete-a-tete;
and, although Miss Angelina
was equally considerate, and invariably
remembered that something she want-

It was not complimentary to her be
trothed, but she went into her second
fit of hystorics at once, and kept them
up for an hour or two.
As for Mr. Softheart, ho never pro
posed to any ono again. Ho received
the news ol Belinda's betrothal witll
comparitivo calmness, but mado his
will next day in view of suicide, and
loffc all his fortune to a ho'spital.
Changing his mind, howover, ho live
still, and so does Belinda, in a third-iloor-back,
w hero sbo quarrels a good
deal witli her husband, who has ceased
to bo at all attontive, and wonders
vaguely what ho could have meant by
it meaning his courtship and mar
riage. And Mr. Softheart never sees Be
linda, who would bo handsome still iu
a decent bonnet; and Belinda never
not 1 sees the old bachelor, whom the real-
own a brown-stone house with marble J ly liked, and who is line-looking as
e niii not miiKe in words was in nor
woik basket? At nil events she did
i:'.
If the man did not avail himself of
K'irii a chanco, after six months court

kitchen, why he meant nothing. And
the unhappy, unlucky Mr. Softheart
did not utter tho expected words, and
l ft, at a quarter to eleven, with a quo
tation from Byron and a sigh.
"He's a contemptible llirt I" said
Miss Belinda. "What did he mean by
squeezing my hand and by sighing so,
nnd by saying such pretty things, and
by looking into my eyes so ? Oentlo
meti fnenth never do such things. I'll
.-how him my heart is not broken. I'll
marry Spooney."
And Belinda wept, for she was bil
let !v mortified, and Spooney did
f.'ieinis.
Bolinda wept, as wo have said, and
went to bed in the dark. Of courso

Ho received a small ponsion for his

As Judgo Turner advanced towards

I should say it. If ho did nul sho would

It was not his fault that whon ho told
Miss Bluebird that "ho did not cave
