Clara stole to my side of the carriage and leaned her head on my shoulder. “ Oh, uncle, I wish I was dead ; can it be so very wrong to wish to die ? I am so very wretched, I dread to-morrow. Oh, why will not God pity me, and take away my life ?” “ My dear Clara, don’t ; it’s wicked to talk that wav ; life must be borne ; I have T redgar H all . “ Mr. Francis Tredgar presents his compli ments to Miss Webster,-and begs to state he must decline the fulfilment of his promise to make her his wife. The unhappy circum stances of Miss Webster’s public arfrest, on the charge of being in possession o f a diamond ring stolen by a former lover, will at once account to her for this decision. Mr. Tred- gar’s wife must be above suspicion. “ Mr. Tredgar begs also to inform Miss Webster that the services of his solicitor, Mr. Blake (the bearer,) are her disposal.” “ Well, Mr. Blake,” said I, “ you see we shall not require your services; I shall wait the event, and if it is not cleared up, shall employ my own solicitor in the matter.— Will you present my kind regards to Mr. Francis Tredgar, and express my own and my neice’s admiration of his gentlemanly courtesy and kindness ? I would write to him did I not think that a correspondence with such a miserable, cowardly scoundrel was too utterly degrading to be thought of.’’ “ I shall faithfully convey your message, sir, and allow me to assure you that I was quite ignorant of the contents of that letter, and that it shall.be the last time I ever bear one from him ; and now, as you will not let me help you as his solicitor, allow me to proffer my services as a friend.” “ With all my heart, Mr. Blake ; come in here a few moments befoie the train comes in, and we shall be glad of your help.” * “ Was I not right, uncle, dear ?” said Clara as soon as we were alone. “ Oh, you can’t tell how happy I am, I can live now. O h ! this glorious mistake ! it’s the most fortunate up the address to which you had gone from the servants at home, I should have lost the last train, and should not have been able to get here until long past midnight. What to do I could not think. “ In the carriage in which I sat, somebody had been talking about the murdered Tawell and the telegraph, the police on the doorstep and so on. It all fashed to my mind ill an instant. “ I went to the telegraph office, and look ing in, saw only a young lad. “ Can you telegraph to York for me “ Certainly, sir.” • # c< I wrote the telegraph you saw. “ You must sign this, sir.” “ No, I must not, young man,” and I drew him towards me by the shoulder. “ My name is Field, Inspector Field ; you understand ?” “ Oh, certainly, sir ; did you catch that man the other day ? I heard it from one of our clerks.” “ Yes, caught him safe and sound; he’s in Newgate now.” “ Indeed sir,” said the lad. “ You’ll send that at once, due in less than an hour, do it.” low JBrigham Young’s Wives Live . The train is I want to see you Among late publications is a work, wnttfetr by Mrs. C. V. Waite, who lived for some years in Utah, and who evidently possessed excellent means o f information, which she has well improved. We have not seen the faei' stated in the book, but presume that Mrs;‘ Waite is the wife of one of the United States, judges who^spent a few years in Utah, in his. official capacity. She gives the following description of how the Mrs. Youngs live : “ The internal arrangement of affairs at the Harem are similar to those of a youngs ladies’ boarding school. Each woman having her own room, her affairs are all centered there. • The culinary department is under the control of such of the wives as Brigham from time to time appoints., She is the stewardess and carries the keys. A cook is employed > —generally a man—and several servants be sides, who are all under the control of the stewardess. “ When the meals are prepared and readyf the bell rings, and each woman, with her: children, if she have any, files down to the dinner table and is seated as before stated. “ Each, on risjng, has her children to at-. tend to, and get ready for breakfast1; this over, she commences the business o f the day, “ He did send it, and as I heard the click, click, it was like the throb of a new heart circulating firey blood in my arteries, for 11 arran&6S her fooms, and sits down to her knew it would enable me to see you, Clara, | sewtngj as the case may be. “ A sewing machineis brought intd requsF- tion, and one o f the number appointed to use it.
