The people of New Jersey had become lukewarm lo the cnuae, and n somo places, pnruculnrlg Monmouth County, were preparing to nssist the British, Weakened in fatth by misery, the American sol- dlers deserted by hundreds§ and, as their terms uf servico ‘came to an end, they departed for thelr homes, belleving that the uprisiug azalnst ression would be speedily overcotne. Tho New Jersey and Maryland levies refused even Washington's personal “solfcitatfon to re- wain lonzer fn the scrvice.

Being an invalid, and having been onicred to the South for his health, young Mr. Hoffman had been sent to Savannali, attended by a servant, nnd after n short stay thero was en route to New Orleans. Mlle, Bonfantl, who was under cn- gugement to appear in that city, was In company with an clder sister, from whotn she was {nsep- arable, traveling {u o paluce car which had been sccured for the special use of the party, hound to New Orleans to_appear there fn thie balict. Young, pretty, and apeaking but a few words in English, the “danscuse was anuoyed and sur- prised to 1ind that at Montgomery, Ala., two young men also bound to New Orleans enlered he ear. These two young men were Mr. Georgo dJ.

Dauring all the stay In New Orleans Bonfanti and young Mr. Joffman were good friends— lovers, perhaps, but mot an actfon, word, or look passed botween them that even the sister could object to.

There was w0 word of reproach, no word of censure, no semblanco of doubt. 3frs, Hoffman tells the story as only o mother can, and that the dansenseis esteemed with all the foudness of a daushter is the best tribute to the wemory of & wayward but not spendtbrift Bon, After tho death of George and the funeral from lte. father’s rceldence, In Fifth avenue, the widow resided for some months with her hus. band's parents, and only left the mansion to occupy the house of a”friend, fn an mljzcent strect, dnrlmiv the ahsence] of the owner in Europe.
