(Founded on the popular theatrical play of that name [coneLepep ] The new arrival was a large man, of rather salt arance, dressed in a rough pea-jacket, bell-muszzied duch breeches, a tarpaulin hat, and armed with a long spy-glass. He entered on the run, took aim with his telescope, looked earnestly and carefully about the garden, and a pacing rapidly to and fro on one of the walks. ~ Toan’t be mistaken '’’ he muttered to him- self. “No, I saw a female enter this house: a smart, rakish-looking little craft, just the same build and rigging as Mrs. O'Scuttle; but forthe life of me I couldn't distinguish her figure- head. However, I've traced her to Southamp- ton, and, by the powers, I'll not give up the chase till I discover ber latitude athe itude. [Suddenly he aimed his glass again.}] Hullo! stop! L'il trouble you to shorten sail and bring to.”’ = Bring two !—two what ?’’ asked Mr. Pilli- eoddy, who was the person halted, as he re- turned to the garden. “So, sir, it seems I’ve found you at last!” growled the stranger. ‘I believe your name is Pilli—something or other ?’ ‘No, sir, it is not Pilli something or other— it’s Pilliooddy—John Poter Pillicoddy !”” “ Very well, sir; listen to me,” returned the stranger, in a voiceof thunder. “ She’shere'” ‘There's no necessity, sir, for ee ear — in that absurd manner,”’ said Mr. Pilli- ay. rather taken aback by the stranger’s peculiar style. «I repeat, she’s here !’’ continued the stran- + ee very rapidly and fiercely. ‘‘ You can’t ony it. Don’t speak; you haven’t a word to say; don’t interrupt me! How did she come here? When did she come here? Why did come here ?"’ “ Really, my dear sir, the pronoun she being, applicable to the entire female sex, I must troa- ble you to clearly define the particular she you mean by she?”’ “My wife, sir !'’ yelled the stranger, louder than cver. “Your wife, sir?’ echoed Pillicoddy, con- siderably staggered. ‘ Your wife, 1» pooh! I beg to observe there’s nothing personal in my pooh, f seh therefore, as I said before, pooh, oe know nothing of your wife; how should ? There’s only oue married female in this house. and she happens to be my wife.”” * Don’t trifle with me, Pilli—whatever it is. I saw her, distinctly saw her, at a window on that side of the house; and that must be the room,’’ and he started towards the door through through which Julia had vanished; “so, sir, if You've no objection, we'll have her out.’* _ “ Beware, mariner, beware '”’ exclaimed Pil- licoddy, throwing himself before the stranger. “I'm small, but desperate; diminutive, but de- termined! And yet, as Anastasia is at this mo- ment in the-parlor, and you insist that your wife is in that room, have herout by all means. There don’t happen to be anybody there—nevor- theless, have her out.” “Q, there’s nobody here, eh?”’ said the stran- ser, ba is Biss door, and endeavoring to look through key-hole; ‘‘then how happens the door to be locked on the inside of it, eh ?”’ “Hullo, sir! No looking through the key- hele; delicacy forbids!” eaid Pillicoddy, pull- ing bim away. as oS Pi “Salpeter itis' Don’t pre- sume to le with me any longer, or, by the Blood of the O’Seattles—> em OT PY th “ The w-h-a-t?’’ faltered Pillieoddy. “The O’Seuttles! Captain O’Scuttle stands before you.”” “Are you that man? Does this hand re: and traly grasp 2 Scuttle?" murmured Pilli- eoddy, in a very plaintive tone indeod, as he sank upon a bench and burried his face in his hands. “ Yet stop—wait a bit!’” he sudden! y exelaimed, starding up with considerable ani- mation; ‘‘ my dear sir, allow me to call your at- tion to a trifling but important fact, that seems to have entirely to have slipped your memory, and that is, you are drowned '"’ “Ob, I'm drowned, am 1 7’’ sneered the cap- tain. “ You know you are; you are at this very mo- ment at the bottom of the sea.

Let me tell you, shipwreck’s no joke; it’s no trifle to be wandering about on an island, like Robinson Crusoe. However, sir, I once again beheld the white cliffs of old England, and forgot all troubles in contem- plating the affectionate, loving welcome of my wife; but it wasn’t to be, sir! Excuse these teara—’ “ Don’t mind me, sir,”” returned Pillicoddy, with emotion; “get rid of the superfluous salt water, by sil means. I really feel for you; to me there’s something peculiarly touching in in contemplation of a jolly tar when he’s not y- “* Mrs. O’Souttle has left her home,”’ continu- ed the captain, ne Sealy. “He calls her Mre.

My dear sir,” he continued, turning to the captain, «will you ailow me to mention to you in confidence, that when you presented yourself before me for the first time, [ immedi- ately made this observation to myself, within myself; ‘ If there ever was aman cutout by na- ture to bear a shock like a Briton, that man ig the man.’ I don’t wish to flatter you, but to myself, within myself, I made that observa- tion.” “ Indeed '’’ returned the captain, marching to Pillicoddy very fiercely and threateningly; “ and pray, sir, didn’t it ever occur to you, at the same time, that I was just the sort of man to eut your throat. or any man’s that dared to do me an injury ””’ “ Why, ert ate say—” “Can't you? Then, by the powers, I’llshow 7 it ia so, if you don’t immediately and satis- jactorily explain how it is that I find my wife ia your house ‘"’ ~ Your wife ?”’ returned Pillicoddy, endeav- oring to astume a conciliatory aud patronising manner. ‘“‘ When you say your mile, af ccmet youare naturally and powerfully impressed with the pleasing but slightly erroneous idea that she ts your wife! Did it never occur to wandering about your island Robinson Crusoe, that your wife might naturally fancy herself a wr, and fancying herself a widow, she might al- ly naturally endeavor to console herself for your loss by—in short, marrying again; for in- stance, me ’”’ n to tell me you've married my wife?’ “ Certainly not, sir; I’ve married your wi- w “Widow! How can this be when I’m alive?” “Bat you have no business to be alive; it’s the bright of absurdity on your part to be alive '’’ “* Paitbless, perjured woman!’ groaned the captain, ing his forehead. “ But I’ll be the death her'’’ he continued, furiously, as he rushed out of the garden gate. “ Tell her to ack up instantly, and prepare to follow her awful husband !”’ “ What's w bedone ?”’ exclaimed Pillicoddy, in despair. “Give up Anastasig?—never! What would life be to me without my Anasta- sia?—nothing. What would Anastasia be to me without life?—nothinger yet. Solet my ery be * Anastasia or death '* a decided prefer- ente for Anastasia.

Does he love me still? “He ays he adores you; so much so, that he swears he'll be the death of you, and me too; so let's fly, beloved of my sonl, let’s fly together.”” “Who can this be?” said Julia, alarmed at his somewhat demonstrative stylo of grabbi hold of and clawing her. ‘What matchless impudence! Let me go, sir!”” And breaking from him, she ran across the garden and disappeared in the green-house. 4 “She breaks from me!”’ murmured Pillicod- YY, Staggering against the wall, supposing Julia to be his wife. ‘+ I understand it oll; in loves her first—she said so. She'll follow her first through the world; she'll put down her Pilli- coddy and take up her Seuttle—she said so. 0, what execrable taste! to say nothing of the base ingratitude of the woman, after the no-end of new bonnets I’ve bought her. What will be- come of me? Curiosity is not naturally one of my failings, but it would be satisfactory to have some faint idea of what will become of me.”’ And again he sank down upon the bench and hid his face in his hands. “Surely I cannot be mistaken,” said Mrs. Pillicoddy, as she entered the garden on tip-too and groped her way along the walk; “ the gen- tleman that I caught a glimpse of a few mo- ments ago, walking about the grounds. I have not seen at O’Scuttle for four years, and it’s almost too dark to recognize any one to a cer- tainty; yes I am quite sure—ah, there’s some- body here! Can it be he? If so, I will inform him at once of Julia’s arrival. Is that you, eaptain?”’ she continued, raising her voice, “ia that you?”’ “Captain!” murmured Pillicoddy. «She thinks it’s Robinson Crusoe; she takes hor sec- ond for her first. Yes,’’ he continued, raising his voice, and trying to talk sailor: Ay, ay, my hearty! Shiver my timbers! Haul away, my 0, boyst”’ “Eben listen to me,’ said Mrs. Pillicoddy, hastily approaching him. * Your wife is here; she may have acted a little imprudently, but I'm sure you'll forgive her, like a dear, kind, affectionate husband that you are. Believe me, she loves you as dearly 2s ever: so lose no time, but take her away at once, bofore Mr. Pillicoddy knows anything about the matter.”” “Ha, ha, ha!” shouted Pillicaddy, wildly. ‘Ha, ha, ha! Go to your first! Resume your Scuttle! Follow your Scuttle throughout the world! Go, perjured, capricious Anastasia, go! Don’t think to break mny heart; no, no, here I'll stay and calmly witness your departure. Ha. here he comes '’’ he exclaimed. still more wildly, as the captain entered through the gate. “* Crusoe comes to claim his wife; the gentle Robinson approaches! Come in. Barnacles, don’t be shy; come in, I say! There, take her, and my blessing along with her!’ And pushing her into the qaptain’s arms, he rushed into the shop, and closed and bolted the door. “And now—now’’ be continued, lighting a candle, “what has Pillicoddy to live for’ — nothing ? Ergo, Pillicoddy dies. But the means’ I can’t swim, so there’s no use think- ing of drowning myself; and apothecaries won't dispose of arsenic, except for rats; and ie the majority of a: caries are pro- verbially credulous, still I feel it would be use- less for me to myself off for a specimen of that species of vermin.

Fortunate Pilly, that they should happen to be whoppers !"’ And he munched them ravenously. “ Any- thing much more unsavory, I might say nasty, I never tasted. Never mind, it'll soon be over, and then an inquest will be held upon me. Twelve of my most intimate friends and fel- low-townsmen will—but stop—the worst of itis that all this will add considerably to the per- fidious Amastasia’s worldly happiness. Oh, if Icould only do something to lestroy the per- fidious Anastasia’s worldly happiness before the wpeacs esoonne roduce their effect. Ha! what do [ see?’’ he exclaimed. as Julia en- tered the shop by another door. “A lovely fewale !—and shall I hesitate?—no. Anasta- sia thus do I cast you off forever—thus do I tear your loved image from my bosom, and supply its place with Yonder exquisite stran- ger. Happy idea! I'l! about it straight.” And Sreeeting Julia, he fell on his knees before her. ‘Enchanting being, pardon the candor of a stranger, a total stranger, but [ have # request to make,a trifling one, and that is that you will from this moment enshrine me in the innermost recesses of your heart !’’ “Mr Pillicoddy !*’ ejaculated Juliain aston- ishment. “Yes, your Pillicoddy; so take me; all I have is youre; my house, my shop, my grounds, my flowers, my very cucumber frame Tm only following the perfidious Anastasia’s exam- a She has recovered her Scuttle, and is appy in that Seuttle. In short, give hera cot and her Seuttle, and I believe she would be content! Yes, she loves the colossal mariner—she told me so. They are now to- gether in the garden—no they ain’t; here the: come.” And eee oe his knees, peed moved by the sight of his wife, he rushed to- wards the captain. “ My Anastasia'’’ he ex- claimed, imploringly ; “‘Tean’t give her ap—I won'tgiveherup! Scuttle, my gentle Scuttle. my gallant Scuttle, don’t take her from me! “Confound Anastasia—who in thunder wants her?’ growled the captain. “I want my wife; that woman there.”’ “ Anastasia, he doesn’t want you! shouted Pillicoddy, clasping his wife in his arms. ‘‘An- astasia, the great Scuttle doesn’ t you!"’ ‘aptain Fitzgerald O'Seuttle, id Julia, as that gentleman approached her, ‘as you have foreed yourself into my presence, be good enough to explain that P- Pe in its present state, that P. 5S. reads anything but pleasant- ly. “ What, jealous of little Jenny?” exclaimed the captain, with aloud laugh. ‘“ Why, that mysterious female happens to be the most ele- gant little Brazilian monkey that you ever Lie weg eyes on, and I intended tw surprise you with it!’ “A monkey forme? ©, my dear, dear hus- band!” murmured Julia, allowing him to em- brace and lead her from the shop. “Hurrah!
