Three days afterward. Mr. Fiel escorted -the fair widow to Liverpool; accompanied heron hoard tbe American steamer ; staid with hex till the - last moment, gave her the thousand pounds, and- returned -to the bosom of his family, having himself scaled and posted a most satisfactory letter of farewell to, poor young Lubyear, which was put In his hands unfastened, that he might assure himself that the contents were according to treaty.

This state of extreme self-satis faction lasted some months, during which he locked forward to the letter or thanks and admiring approval which he expect expected - ed expected from Mr. Lobyear, the father. It came a mail sooner than he expected. One morning, an entering-his office, he found two foreign letters awaiting him one from an unknown correspond en..the other in the familiar handwriting of- his client in Japan.

Had he entertained the ghost of a suspicion at the time, he could not have mistaken it- It was a good hoar before he partially recovered from the effects of this blow, and then, in a bewildered, mechanical way, he opened the second foreign letter. It was dated from New York, and ran thus. Sua:.
