All was bustle and. confusion at the Muggs's during the following, weeH.-^- Trimmings were displayed 1 lind dress- makers wore consulted, and (luring all this trying -time Mr. Muggs was seen by,| the neighbors to glide in and out regular- ly, like a ghost or shadow, twice a day, j at night and morning. H e dined a t the 1 rcstorator's and \tipped on cold bread and ; butter at homo. At length till preparations being com- pleted, to the sea-shore they went. They took rooms at tho must costly, and couse- fmently the most fashionable hotel—for, as Mrs. Muggs said, what would bo the use of going t>< the sca-ah»re if one couldn't go in style; and they created quite a n ex- citement there, as every one who is ac- quainted with Mr^. Muggs knows. Miss Mlvinawas decidedly the belle of the s-as-.n. Tho freshness, simplicity, and native refinement of h--r maimers, togeth- er with her natural good si-nsc and excel, lent edueaiiiiii, (for Mr. Muggs was agood father,) rendered hor the centre of at- traction. Hosts of admirer* tluoiiged around tho now star, and for a time she was the envy of all the other ladies. But Mrs. M. was a woman who un- derstood th\ ways of th; world, an.l knew how to appreciate tho sontiiiient of the- old maxim—\Occasion a collision before the Ferruginous liiit.tllic sulstatice loses its calorilic properties,\ or, in vnlg-ir par- lance, \strike while the iron is hot ; \ and she was determined to jr-ta son-in-law, if pissibK before she returned to \ M'lggsh-nik '' But while she \ \ as de- sirous that Miviuiu -dioiiM fv.nl a husband, she was fully resulted that her daughter should not throw hcm-H away nj on any I enuilcs clerk or needy adveuliii-ir. She had heard that theru was expect, d tu arrive, d-iily upon the beach, a w-.aUhi so.ithern ecn:,'icniii!i, 'be owu'i- of a 1-u-g\ plantation, and she didn't know how many hundred slaves, and who, being a bach- elor of thirty, was an eligible match for any young lady who could be so foitunale a* to secure him. Sb> declared that he should receive the boon of Mhiuia's hand and heart—that Mivinia should be- bomo Mrs I'ortescue. It was all plan- ned out in Mr*. Muggs's mind, and she admitted n o p-.• - :1 ii'iiy of failure. I'nfoitunat-K, as it happened, pom- Mr. Muggs who-*- almost only enjoy mei-t eini'-isti'd in lo'ig, lonely walks upon the bi'aeb, was not consulted in this arrang'- ment. The expected visitor armed at a late hour on Wedue-day evcniui;, unknown to the greater portion of the boarders, and quietly retired to rest. M. Fortesene was in truth a linn—inde.-d, a very great h\. 11 —for besides the possession of a j niKi-ly fortune, he was distinguished for having fought three duels and killed two men, thus acquiring an enviable reputation as a man of honor and undoubted courage. Justly proud of his achievements lie look- ed down with a sort of condescending dis- dain unou the unfortuuatc men who had been less sanguinary than himself, and they iu turn regarded him as a purse- proud aristocrat. Mr. Furtescuo, Icing a hull, was fond of pleasant little pi-r.wis „t unusual houi.s, and rising at early d.inn upon the morning aficr his arrival, saliiid forth with fowling-piece in band, for a walk, from one door, at the u-i j moment M;-. Mugg-, uetuatt-d by a siini'iar motile, istiud from the other. Mr. Fort-va\ thinking he might .-tatid a chance to see a plover iu the course of his al.- •. • '•ho.-e the edge of the marsh for his r; ••> b 1 \. and Mr. Mugg-, who, notwithstand- ing b' was r.n iron merchant, was a little inclined towards tho .sentimental, prefcr- led tho smooth, hard b'-ic'u, where he ! could see great rollers rushing up and breaking, on the shore, and listen to the mystic music of the sea. Mr. Muggs hud hardly got a hundred yards from the house wlini he observed but a short distance behind him, on tho marsh, a truculent looking follow, with a gun upon bis shoulder. \ Bless mo !' said he, \ he looks very much Jibe a bri- gand.\ Half a mile distant from the hotel, as Mr. Muggs walked towards tlie uppi r part of the beach ho caught a glimpse of the stranger's head among some bushes on tho othor Bide of tho ridge, which divided the beach from tho marsh, and a quarter and foot 4 and gaggeu into th e bargain, '. of a mile further on, as h e was.-crossing j and Kfr. Muggs hurried back to the hotel, • the dry hod'of a' little creek which ex- taking with him the ,gun as a trophy, j tended into the laud; he was horrified Ho arrived jusS before, breakfast time, upon raising his eyes from tlie ground | and appru-ichiug the piazza, filled with where they bad been cast iu silent medi- lady and gentlemen pronicnaders, with ttftion, to behold -tho tSifavoyed stranger his face red as a strawberry, his clothes' in the very act of crossing the same creek '.ov.rxd with mud, anl a gun upon his about twenty-five rods diistant. It was j ilmulder, liis appearance created, as may but a glance. In an instant tU strangi r disapp\and again behind tlie ridg\. 5fr. Mitggi had been rinding a life of Turpin , lately, and was exceedingly nervous 011 the subject of highway nu-u. This was a very suspicious looking man. He was evidently dogging his footstep*. Per- haps he was a robber; perhaps a mur- derer. Perhaps he intouded tu shoot Mr. Muggs for the sake of his watch and his uioiiej, ami tlrow bia body into the water. Vliey were iu a =-ee!uil.d, lnm li , spot, mid what was to prevent tlie villain from accompli h'u.g hi- iieiai-iou- design upon an uri.irmi '. Me im.

But Mr. Muggs was a n adinirabl\ man | for an emergency. He was Icrtile iu ex- pedients, and of undoubted intrepidity, I having onco been corporal of a militia company. lie quickly decided upon a course of action, and leaving the beach took shelter in a clump of hushes and trees which aroac like an oasis from the ' salt waste around him. In this com- manding position Mr. Moggs' fust thought was to lvconnoitcr and ascertain th e po-' sition nf the enemy, and after a long search h- disi'iivi-r-'d what appearod to be, a ha 1 ., rising above the ura»» on tho top •if tho ridge, i t a coi.'i-b r-itie itU-innee >••< advance. T h -re could be nn doubt of i\. The hat was apjit the head of the vilhiii., who was lying in Wait t o shout his antici- pated victim. Mr. Mngg-i was, a s we have stated, a In vc man , it.deed own rash when i-xcitul, and although 1« a dil- igent u.e of his ln-thiT H111K he might pro! ably have returned in «i.fly, hishV thought was to capture the rogue. He saw that under cover of a muddy ore •'» which was now emptied of its waters, In- might approach to within a I'cv f_-i t ut the ambuscade lint ha d been chosen; cutting a huge slick, he at en -e proceed- ed to active opciatioiis. By crawling a considerable distance upon his hands anl knees in the mud, be succeeded i n get. ting near the ubjeet of his suspicion, ami cautiously raising his head, ultH-rved him, to all appe-araneei, fast asleep, upon a very cumfurtablo pile of rocks. Mr. Muggs's courage arose at once tu Irvir point. Biowly advancing he seciii- cel the dreamer's gun, which was lying beside him, and 'Miring six paces, point- ed it at bis liv.d, and called upon him to surrender. The sleeper sprang from his eoiicli. \ What arc you doing with my gun,\ said he. '' Stop ! slop !\ erieel Mr. Jltiags, while a '.rcmor of d 'sper ite ib'teriniuatioii slnwli bis frame, \ or I'll shoot you.\ \What is the meaning of this*, sir,\ said the robber, c.i-ting a withering ghncc at thi piii-sy lii' ,r ' man be(ure him. \My minin g is thi',\ replied Mr MUJJS ; \ by a miiM -ul-HH in'orpositi HI or . -'ight'.r- sa.d the \•*«.\ re- ' J\it f PI-IA! l--;i -, I -.'.a- warn.do; r'.blc designs. 1 know y.-m, j-'tt or of i;iii(i'','i i trav-.-li'is.\ \Ai- y.'iig -'g t>. .-, l,,.,.
