The hint that Mr. Weatlierley had incauui- ously given about the will Was suf- ficient. Miss Cook seIZed upon the coat that old Mr. and found the will in an inner pocket of it. There the important docuinent Temple place. so as to shine forth in all their original lustre. Laura, then, as people will in dreams, thought it not at all extra- ordinary that old Mr. Christopher Vance shouid speak to her, al- though she could not see him. ‘Laura,’ he said, ‘ why do you not search for my will beneath my head '1’ Laura then was abbot to say something in reply to him. or to ask a question, but her dream was of so viwd a character that she spoke aloud, and the sound of her own voice crying out,“ ‘ Father! father I' awakened her. Then the distinctness ofthis voles Ital such an effect upon the young girl that she could not sleep for the remainder of the night, but passed it in tears until. the morning, when Mrs. Weatherley came to her, and then Laura related the singular via sion that had come over her. It was not a period in which to believe in dreams, nor was she among,' people who Were likely to give prominence to any visionary feelings; but there was a something suggestive iii Laura’s vision which. conjomed with the rest of the cir- lcumstanccs of the case, evolved a theory in the mind of Mr. Weath- Vance had worn, ei‘lcy. ' Old Mr. Vance had certainly taken the will away from the in his pocket, and from had remained ever since he had ties that moment he had had no time to posited it there for safety. At the moment she had it in her hand, the uiidertaker’s men came to the room to screw down the coffin- Iid. Miss Cook heard the footsteps, and they heard her as she made a scuflling rush round the coffin and hid in a cupboard ; for she did not. at the motnent, know who it was she heard approaching. The men did their duty; but it was not until they were gone that put it anywhere else before he died, Miss Cook ha-i certainly not .known where Such a document Was up to the moment that be. Mr. Weatherley, had mentioned it On the morning of the funeral, and tllen she had hastily left the room, and came back with looks of satis- faction and triumph. What if she had taken the oppot‘d tunily, which she might easily do, of getting possession of the will, Miss Cook issued forth and went and placing it in the coffin with old down stairs. A look at her face was enough for Jellievs. He saw that she had dis- posed of the will in some wav, and he said calmly to Mr. Weatherley, ‘Sir.

What if Laura’s dream supplied the missing link in the chain of suppositions, and the will was, after all, in the vault of St Paul’s beneath the kind Old gens tleman’s head I These were the ideas which soon y found a home ill the mind of Mr. Weatherley, and he could not dis- lodge them. Now, it so happened that one of Mr. Weatherlcv was much af- fected, and he could hardly say, ‘lt is the will!--lt is the willl Oh, how little did i expect, when last 1 saw it, that the next time it met my eyes would be in suoh a place as this I’ _ ‘Thanlt heaven I’ said the dean. The dead were left again to the silence of the vault, and Mr. Wea- therley was glad to get home, fer it took him some hours to recover his Compostire. He was able, how- eVer, to take Laura by the hand, and to say to her: ‘My dear child, your adopted father’s will has been found,and you are his heiress.’ Laura burst into tears. for she knew by the manner oer. Weath. erley where that will had been found. The executors named in the will. were Mr. Wcatlierlcy and aGenc- ral Joliffe, who had beenan old school companion of Mr. Vance’s: but the General was at Corfu, so Mr. Weatherlcy acted as sole exe- cutor at present, and he Went to Clarges street at about four o’clock that afternoon. taking with him two of his clerks. and requested to see bliss Cook. There was the odor of eating and drinking going on in the house to an alarming estem, and Mr. Jef- reys appeared from the dining- room in not the most steadin con= dition. Miss Cdok peered over his shoul- der, with an expression that was quite ferocious. . 'l have come,’ said Mr. Wea- therley, ‘to take possession of, and to put my seal upon, the effects of the late Mr. Vance, as one of his executors, under power from his last will and testament, found this day in his coflin.’ Miss Cook uttered a scream. Mr. J‘iffreys swore icarfully. ‘And,’ added Mr. Weatherlcy,’ ‘l have sent for a constable, and intend ’--â€" Neither Miss Cook nor Mr. Jef- freys permitted Mr. Weatherley to ,say what he intended, for they both ldashcd out of the house and disap- peared at once. By their cupidity they lost all, for the deed of gift of the house. which was so cleverly done by Jeflreys, had prevented such deed of gift being ‘ Run 1’ said he, ‘I never saw ground and lofty tumbling before! They just threw themselVes over backward, and all left the house on their allsfoui‘s, some back end first, and they went in that way clear across the street!’ Hearing on implosion, they after a while ventured back and pceped in. There sat Bâ€"=â€"-, with a glass of something, enjoving himself, the keg standinp.r in one corner by him, (it contained madder instead of pow- der.) Long as the captain remained at Rushville, he had the grocery all to himself. I wonder what has become of him. If he has not fatigded himself to death packing a gallon at a time, he’s in.

OLD Newsrarcast~Many peonlc take newspapers. but few preserve them; the most interresting reading imaginable, is a file of old neWspapers. It binds up the tery age with all its genius, and its spirit, more than the most labored description of the historiamâ€"VVho takes up a paper dated half a century ago, without the tliotigllt that almost every name therein printed, is pow out upon a tombstone, at the Ilead of an etitaph? The doctor that there advertised his medicines and their cures, has followed the sable train of his parents, the merchant and his ships and the actor, who could make others laugh or weep can now only furnish a skull for his successors in Hamlet. It is easy to pre- serve newspapers, anl they will repay the trouble; for, they are like wine, their value increase with their age. A poultly fancier lately procured a pic- ture of a favourite hen, which was so natu- ral that it laid on the table for several weeks. acquainted with the leading facts concerning the outrage done to the British Flag. on the high seas, by Mr. Lincoln’s servant, Commodore 'Wilkes ofthe so-called United States Navy. As Mr. Lincoln, by the dictation of his Cabinet, which so strangely resembles the former Dis rectory of France, has triumphed upon every principle ofconstltutional liberty, and as the States under his control only move at the dictation of Washington, I deny in toto, the existancc of any such Government as was known astlie American Union, prior to the fourth day of last March. Generally, the impression prevalent in the Canadas, and I suppose through- out Great Britain, is much as fol- lows: “Commodore Vv'ilkes in taking Messrs. Slidell, Mason, Eustis and McFarland from the deck of the Trent, by threats of violence from a mansof-warâ€"the San Jacintaâ€"has acted without orders. The Wash= ington Government will reprimand Commodore lVilkesâ€"xan apology will be made;-â€"â€"tlie Government at Home Wlll accept the apoIOgY: and probably the prisoners may be re- tained by the United States, as Great Britain desires to avoid war.” l So, at least, leading ‘ Clear Grits ’ will, be prone to reason. Others of the Government party in Canada will argue: “ The arrest is wrong. The Cabi- net at Washington will apologise; deliver up the prisoners to British authority; and no war will follow. Canada does not desire War; neither does Britain. Our Home Govern. ment will preserve its attitude of neutrality. The thing will ‘blow over’.”’ This is all, no doubt,- very conso- ling.
