WHEM the English General Howe found himself master of Bosto , he began to revolve in his mind how he should best punish certai i listinguished families, who ,had been mostactive inoppo- sition to the royal authority. His chief source of information was a young tory, who, by means of his wealth and birth, had gained the confidence of the British chief, and was now an inmate of his military household, The name of this traitorous person was Jenkins Wosley, who had no other recommendations theni id efli person, his money and his high family ; for one of hiauncles had been lieutenant governor of the Coimmonwealth. The general was pacing up and down his library.ixt deep 'refleo- tion, his lips compressed and his brows bent. The young tory was standing in a recess of the 'window, seemingly engaged in watch- ing the measured movements of the sentry in front, but in reality furtivelyscanning the face of the English general. Suddenly the ofcerturaed and said, with some excitement : " Are you prepared to prove this, Mr. Wosley r" " Heie are letters, sir. It is well known that she has been more active than her father, if that were possible, in inspiring the colony with-the 6positioi to the crown. It was she, sir, who copied, and it is rumored, half.dietated the resolutips wheih ipasse&in may lst'at Fantteil Hall. v If 'she remains'in the ety, general; she, will plot o fourimiechief." "She must be secured ! You think this plea of illness is but an excuse to be suffered.to remain to act as a spy upon us ?" ' Without' doubt, sir, I bave no question but that she is in secret correspondence wth Samnel Adams, John Adans, Handdck 'and other rebel clilefs;,ol' whom her uncle is not the least." " To be of his blood is enough to lead me to fear 'hei and to see that she is not 4used toydo us injury. Here is her, artfilMetier to me.". And General;Howe;took from a file before him on the table, a paperwhich lie read aloud, as follows : "aik Ad ydii do' not-watr upon women, I trust you will per- mit me to remain in the city with an aged-relative, who dec-ipit and long ainvalid, whom it would be fatal to.attempt, to move froi her house.

She has done enough for - her rebellious uncle, and for Hancock and Adams;, to, forfeit, her head as well as they," he responded, with angry decision.

The man, receiving the note, touched the front of his cap, and departed to place it in the hands of the officer to-whom it was addressed. As the door closed upon him, the face of Jenkins Wolsey, the rich tory colonist, lighted up with malicious signifi- catibn. "aYou seem 'to be pleased, Wolsey !" said the general, who could not but remark the expressionof elation on his face. Yes, your excellency ; I am always pleased to: see the ene"- mies of thecrown secured from doing mischief."-: Where shall.I imprison her ?" asked the general, as if per- plexed to know what he should do with his fair prisoner after ar- resting her. This inquiry was not addressed to any one, but was rather thinking aloud. "For my life I don't know what to do. with her." - Place-her on board of one' of the ships of war, sir," suggested Wolsey; "it will be difficult to effect her escape from one ; while in the -oity she may elude the vigilance of guards." " That is the suggestion. I will send her on board the George, and entrust her safe keeping to her old gray-headed captain, Grif- fith. 1ewill be an honorable and safe jailor for her, and can give her one of'his cabins. That affair is settled !" At that moment two or three gentlemen of his staff were announced, and Jenkins Wosley glided out of the apartment with the step andlook of a ma' who has been doinga disgraceful thing, and fears to meet the full gaze of honorable men.

"If danger menaces, I cannot leave you, Miss Elizabeth, said the youth, respectfully and earnestly. "t You, will show but the sincerity of your friendship for me, by obeying," she answered, with an air of resolution. "I know I am presumptuous to hope, where I am so lowly and you so far above me, but--" Mere the speech of the young colonist was interrupted bya third knock, louder and more imperative than the last; kissing her hand respectfully, he obeyed the entreating command of her eyes, and instantly left the apartment. He did not, however, on reaching the hall, go out by the door by which he had an hour before entered, bearing a letter to the lady from the camp of the army outside, but alarmed for her safety by the loud knocking, he hurried to the upper entry, and went out upon a balcony, from which he could look down into the front yard and see who was at the front door. Upon discovering the English officer, who at that moment had called his men to break in the door, he flew to warn the young lady of the character of her visiters. But in descending the stairs he came upon the bayonets of the two soldiers who had come around by the rear. Stand ! you are our prisoner !" they cried, presenting their weapons close to his breast.

His distress and anxiety, as he rowed across the silent waters, ,can only be imagined. He at one moment ;condemned himself for leaving her ; but the next, he :excused himself as he reflected that- his own arrest would confirm the suspicions which had probably led to:the visit of--the soldiers. - Having- reached the camp and presented the letter to its address, a letter which detailed A plan "bow-General H [lowe- might be surprised aheadd quarters, ' he returned immediately to the- beseiged city, indiferent to his=own: safety so long as be was left in suspense of that of the maiden.

To have questioned the sentry would have been to expose himself to suspicion. He, therefore, by a way well known to him as the bearer of letters to and from the maiden, gained a poplar tree that stood near the west end of the house. and by climbing it he reached the roof, through which, by a trap door, he descended softly into the apartments of the house. Upon reaching the parlor he found a light burning ; but as he was about to enter, he started back with a cry of horror..-- Upon a table lay the corpse -of the invalid, just being laid out by two old women. The'escritoire was broken oen, and books. ,pa- pers and furniture strewn about in disorder.

"It was time she was dead'' said the other oil crone. "I don't see the use o' folks livin' arter, they get to be bed-rid, and are worse-than dead. What did the captain say he'd give you for help layin' out -" Two dollars !" answered the hag, chuckling as she bound the jaw of the corpse. - " That's what he promised me. It'll be a pretty job.

"If we was found carrying on, correspondence with the enemy outside, they'd hang us up high as Haman. . Her beauty, I hope wont save her !" "It oughtn't to !

S VAN SLYKE,, These were questions which he could not answer. He was' about to enter the room'and ask them if they could tell him where she had been taken ; but an instant's reflection showed him the weakness of thus exposing himself; for he knew that he was sus- pected of being a spy, and that men were on the watch to detect him; and therefore did he:change his disguise every time he came into town. His uncertainty was, however, relieved in an unlooked- for manner. The front door vras abruptly opened, and 'he only. had time to wthdraw into a shaded niche, when the captain and two soldiers came in, and crossing the hall, entered the parlor where the corpse lay. Upcn seeing it he uttered an oath express- ive of angry surprise. "What ! not in her coffin yet ?" " The man han't brought it yet, yer honor," answered one. 'of' ( - 4 .. ' n3. the women.

" When is the young lady to be hanged, captain ?" asked the short est of the'women. " I'd give a dollar to see it !" " you'll not have that pleasure, old woman. She is to be kept a prisoner, " In the jail ?" asked the other. " Not exactly. If you don't behave, you may get there !-- This young lady will probably be honored with a ship-of war for her prison.

As the red, morning sky deepened into the glory of sunlight, he searched with his eye among the ships for the George frigate) as if he would know it instinctively. But he at length resolved to wait until eight o'clock. " Perhaps," said he, as he sat down upon the end of a spar, and gazed wistfully over the water, "perhaps she is not yet taken on board.

Unfortunate is the intelligent lady who is addressed by an inferior man, who may have only money to countenance his presumption. Her refusal is the signal for his vengeance, as her acceptance of him would be the seal of her degradation. Jenkins Woesley had not the generosity to treat with civility the maiden who hadwounded his vanity by rejecting his offer of marriage. Lawrence, though of humbler birth, without fortune, and hav- ing a good education, a fine intellect, courage, and his devotion to her, found more favor in her eyes. Yet she loved him not well enough to consent to become his wife. Moreover she said:- "This is no time to think of ourselves. Let us give our hearts, Lawrecee, to our bleeding country."

He devoted himself more assiduously to her wishes and her happiness. "Though she loves me not," said he, I will be near her, and try to be happy in her siles, and- in listening to her voice. I know I am too humble for her to look upon me ; et, if I may not be her lover, I will be her servant." At the r o is life he 'become the bearer of her lett ers to the patriot -hiefs. For her sake he exposed himself to a dozen deaths. Without bops of her love, he devoted his very life to ler interests. . He knew that she had rejected Jenkins Wosley, with all his wealth. He had, accidentally, overheard part of their interview. He beard her say that :he would not and could not be tempted by wealth without worth; and that "a luke-warm colonist .should never have her hand, though he were possessor of the Indies, and, 19 .had the manly beauty' of App~lo. "---Lawrence heard the bitter anathemas with which the defeated suitor left her presence ; and from that moment he looked on him as both his own enemy and that of Elizabeth H incock. When, therefore, he now saw him a few minutes before eight o'clock, idling about on the pier fromi which the captain wes to embark for the frigate, the idea flashed upon his mind that he was aware of the arrest, and he added, half aloud, " perhaps he has been an agent in it !" No sooner did this suspicion enter the. mind of the brave young colonist, than he resolved to watch him narrowly. In a few min- utes the captain who had made the arrest,, appeared at the end of the pier, and saluted Wosley, cordially.

I treated her as if she had been-a queen." " She can be haughty enough," answ ered Wosley. The gen- eral did right in arresting her. She is the most dangerous person in Boston. "And most captivating.

"Will, bumpkin, how d'ye like the looks o' the kritter ? Aint she a tall one hey !" asked the boatman, patronizingly. - His voice recalled Lawrence to himself; for he had forgotten for the moment his assumed character. It was difficult for him to as- sume it and its dialect in the present aspect of his feeling. " Yes, it is a large ship," he answered as the boat once more ame under the stern. '-Row in closer." - The man obeyed until they were nearly under the taffrail, when the-sentry ordered them to keep away.- But Lawrence had io- ticed all the particulars relating to the stern and treasured them in I 1 I T his memory ; and now fearing detectiQn, he returned to the town, resolving that he would rescue the maiden or die with her. Elizabeth Hancock, our patriotic heroine,was standing in the cabin window looking afterthe boat as it receded, for spe thought she recognized the disguise, of Lawrence there, when she heard her name pronounced behind her. Upon turning round, she .beheld Jenkins Wosley, who had passed the sentry at her door by means of a permit from Captain G iffith, mho jhad received orders from General Powe 'to that effect.
