XI. WA + THE AMOURS OF WARREN HASTINGS. In the early spring of 1759, the Duke of Graf- tou sailed for the South Seas, and in it Warren Hastings, who had been home from the East on » returned to India. This celebrated per- was born in England, and of noble son: blood; but through some reverse of fortune, never succeeded to the patrimony and estates of his fathers. His earliest and life-long ambi- tion, through all his checkered and eventful career in India, was to possess himself of the means necessary to redeem this ancestral home. While a lad of only a dozen summers, he used to recline on the green banks of one of those pure streams that fertilized its gardens and parks, in full view of the old baronia! palace, and mature plans by which to realize this great object. The 4 upon which he finally deter- mined, and which he afterward pursued with such signal success, was, to secure emplayment from the East India Company, proceed at once to India, and there press everything into ser- vice that promised success. -He accordingly embarked tor that far country, went to work for the Company, labored four or five years without anything special “turning up’ to mark his histury, returned hame on a brief viait, and has now taken passage once more for the land of his adoption. An uninterrupted voyage of fifteen thousand miles may be easily conceived to present as monotonous a phase of life ascan possibly be otherwise afforded. Cat off entirely from the world, the limited community of a dozon indi- viduals, perhaye affords the only resources for that variety which gives life a zest, or renders it in the least degree supportable. With this community, good, bad, or indifferent, one must come in contact daily, hourly; circumstances eminently propitious for contracting the most | inveterate and lasting dislikes, or, on the other hand, the most interesting connections. Among the passengers of the Duke of Graf- ton, it appears. was one German portrait-pain- ter, the na:wa of Imbel. and wife, which latter is deseribed as an individual in whon. was filly blended outward beauty and accomplishments with nobleness of mind, and interesting and engaging manners. With this individual—the wife—Ilaatings, very naturally, was not long in forming an acquaintance, and one which, under circum- stances 80 favorable for sucial intercourse, soon amounted ty little Jcs3 than intimacy Pretty much the first thiag, strange t may appear, of which he became fuily zatisfied was that, whether with good reason or otherwise. she most heartily despised her husband; and but little later, what more particularly con- cerned himself, that she was fast actually be- coming an object of special favor and regard in his own eyes. Startling discoveries, in- deed !—discoveries which rendered his situa tion one at once of interest and peril: of in- terest, because his own future ha piness, or course in life might be affceted by it; or peril, because the only individual whose companion- ship could in the least degree afford any anti- dote for the ennui and morta! irkeomeness of a long and tedious voyage, in spite of himself, was fast making him her slave; gaining pos- session, indeed, of all he had in the world, his heart; an estate with which he was not so ready to part, at least, for the sake of an old married woman. But how was he going to help himself? Circumstances utterly pre- cluded, on the one hand, the possibility of avoiding, mach less flceing the object of his | passion, while no secret ozean-cave, provided in the hazardous extremity an elopement were | © determined uj«n, offered the asylum of a Gret- | na Green tothe enawored pair He seemed by fate irretrievably hemmed in. Flee from | temptation he could not. Why then be su:- | prived to learn that he felt most keenly its | “eorucl power?” And what man, let me ask, ean long remain in the presence ef a beautiful, intelligent, fascinating, and, therefore; a wo- man of power, and not teel her influence’? As likely would he be to resist the influence of the | sun-light with success, though exposed to the | fall blaze of noon-day. No; as ice must of | necessity melt. if exposed to the influence of | hea’, so asainst that subtle power which woman holds, that anon sparkles in her eye, meilows in her tones, beams upon her face, ‘ mantling through its beauty,” and which, when intensi- fied, is aptly defined by Tupper as ‘a volume ina word; “an ocean inatear;” “a sev- enth heaven in a giance;"’ ‘a whirlwind ia a sigh ;” the “lightning in a touch ;’’ a‘ mil- Jeniaw in & moment; “it were. altogether vain. and worse, to think of making successful re- Sistauce Such. then, was the dilemma in which Hastings found himself. Nor was it any longer worth while to deny it; an attachmeut fostered by every little kind office performed, every glauce, every word, by almost every cir cumstance of every day life, was springing up— an inexorable duty At tbis juncture, events which transpired operatel t» precipitate matters very considera- bly = bring them pretty decidedly to an issue. Hastings fell, seriously ill. Now, of all the places tu be sick, the worst we aro told, ts on chipboard, where every lurch and leap of the reeling, stagzer vessel wrings another pang from the tortured vietim, and where the | constant motion affords never a respite for per- fect and natural repose. Thus uuistanced, haunted with the loneliness of hia situation. and racked with pain. who. with all a mother’s tenderness and assiduity, administered to all his wants and necessities? Who, while others, slept, throagh the long wearisome watches of the right, watched over him’? Who, with her own band, gave him all his medicines, simoothed his pillow, supported his aching head, cooled his teverish brow in the interims of his deli- rium, and ¢ounted as days the doubtful mo- ments of his recovery’ Whose was this ever Present spirit, this ever constant heart, that thus so unexpeotedly hovers, watches, and waits about the sick bed of thisfriendiess boy at sea’? Who would not love it, indeed! Alas the pow- er of kindness! especially when its object is a poor orphan boy, homeless and friendless, and the benefactor « beautifal woman, whoxe looks | are so fullof love! Ike Marvel says, we can sometimes afford to be sick; nay, covet it, for the very sympathy it brings, especially when that sympathy was felt and ex sed in our behalt by the woman we best love. Jobn lioward, the lowly. yet immor‘a), whoce name it endorsed in heaven, while sick at Stoke Newington, was not proot against the unremit- ted kindness and devotion of bislandlady, Mrs Loidore; but long before fally restored to health, had not only contessed his sincere bment ot ber, but though she was twenty-five years his senior, offered her his hand as well as bis J; ner was iteverknown asion to repent of the step he had taken. rertainly, then, sball bot wonder to Jeara that, Jong before the““Duke of Grafton” arrived in Madras, avowedly in love But bis love, while it was #trong, earnest, and deep, was not impetuous. Intent now, since his heart was altogether engaged, and, as he | then felt, his happiness for life at stake. on re- alizing at any expense, or whatever sacrifice, the fruition of his desires, he set about matar- ing a scheme for the accomplishment of this object, with as calculating a mind, and cool Crusiderition of ways and means, a3 he Lad previowsly done for the redemption his ternal estates. The plan he, in co. ction with | his mistress, finally adopted, was otlows | Ile would proceed immediately to Bengal, j and get re-esizbiished in business, while she | was to institute a suit fur divorce in some of | the courts of Franconio. While this matter was | pending. (which, in all probability, would be | { | | | Hastings was during five or six years.) she would remain with ber husband, as usual ; but as soon as th marriage was diss Ived. he would make her his wife, and adopt the children which she had borne to her bu-band. Whatever view, ina strictly moral senge. we may take of these amours of I ings, or his mode of working out his purpose, we van you but admire, if not appland, the siogular fd «ii- ty which he lived to faifil all bis vows: fulfil to ® letter this contract, the offering at once of | Passion, yet of mature deliberation. now with a double ambition, to redeem | | soon after, I heard the puss mak the home of his fathers. and spend there, with her whom he now loved better than his own life, his declining years, the evening of life, he proceeded at once to engage himself in the ser- vice of the East India Company, and applied himself to his pursuits with a devotion and de- cision of purpose that promised some success. Nor was it long delayed; commencing at first in the humble capacity of clerk, by his in- domitable energy and untiring application, he #0 worked his Way from one post of honor and trust to another, and by bisindefatigable devo- tion to business and the intercets of the com- pany, as well as by the wisdom of his counsels and the skill displayed ever in his political ox- ploits—coups d’stat—so secured the confidence of the company, that, mainly through its influ- ence, in less than fifteen months after his return he was called to oceupy the high and nai- tion of Governor General of India. Like Byron indeed, he too had suddenly ‘awoke and found h'mself famous.” The millions of India were now all his sub- je:ts, and obedient to his will; a standing army wasat his command, ready and willing to do his veriest bidding, even to lotting itself to foreign service for pay, and exterminating the innocent, defenceless, unfortunate Robillas. The resources of 2 vast and ancient empire were aubject to hiscontrol; and the treasures of time- honored and inoffensive nabobs gathered to swell his treasury, and earry forward his enter- rises. J1is word was law in the province, and is name soon became a terror to all the tribes abroad. In short, in an almost incredible brief space of time, from the capacity of posting books for the company, he was become state» man, diplomatist, monarch. His movements Were uttracting the attention of the whole civil ized world, and for a long series of years afford- eta fruitful topic of comment and disquisition by the English press, and of debate in the House of Commons. Feeling indeed that he was born to be dictator supreme, in defiance cf instructions from the home government, he out- witted and discomfited altogether Sir Philip Francis, a man who had eminently distinguish- ed himself as a statesmen at home, the alleged anthor, indeed, of the papers of Junius, who. with one or two others, had been sont to rule as associate governors of India with himself, and correct some of the abuses of which the lat- ter had been charged as guilty. In the mean- while, with euch cimsummate skill and in- domitable energy and perseverance was he pushing his enterprises, he was winning the admiration even of enemies. So manifestly was all India undergoing, under his adminis- tration, a radical and rapid revolution, and the English government securing a firmer, a strong- er hold upon the country than ever before, that he was popular with the court, in spite of his obstinacy and excesses. So astonishingly wers the coffers of the East India Company replen- ished by the rich harvest of pagodas he was ping, that they were bound to sustain him pazards, w then, query: would not this highly- shed and honored potentate, flushed with this tide of vietory and success, conscious that. in the future, he was to be the companion of nobles and princes, and be associated with the titled and the powerful, look with contempt upon, if not entirely forget, his love affair with the Dutch woman on board the Duke of Graf- ton? Notso: all praise tohishonor! About five years from the event of that voyage, during ch time Hastings had neither seen nor been ble to hear trom his intended, news was ro- sived that one Mme. Imhoff had at length suc- cceded in obtaining a divorce from her husband in the Franconia courts. Hastings hailed the piece of news with every demonstration of joy took immediate measures to have the 1a 3 brought to him; caused the day of his nuptiais to be announced as an universal holiday, and celebrated it with festivities of a very conspic- ucus order, bidding welcome to all. friend or foe. young and old, all in the name cf bis bride. - he had not forgotten the old mistress of his heart, that guardian spirit that watched over him when none other was near to pity, to comfort, or tocheer. And we are hy no means out of humor, amid all the hypocrisies, infideli- ty, and deceit so fearfully rife, especially in bigh hfe, that history had not deemed it for eicn to its province to preserve this one instance of this singular fidelity and trust in an uffair de caur. Hastings was some fifteen years Governor of India. and his wife always exerted a marked and contiolling, nay, aliost magical influence ver him. And when he at length returned to sland, she who was born under the Arctic circle, had played the queen under the Tropic of Cancer. proved herself worthy to grace the court of Queen Charlotte, acted a conspicuous part during the famous and protracted trial of & husband, whose alleged crimes are preserved in the amber of the immortal eloquence of Sheri- dan and Burke; and subsequently, Hastings having been enabled, through the liberality of the East Iudia Company, to redeem his ances- tral home, for which object he had lived, aud labored so long, but in which his Jong and ex- pensive trial had well-nigh defeated him, be- came extensively known and favored as the dia- tinguished Lady of Daylesford. 28 Ivteitions or Wowan.—The intuitive judg- meuts of woman are often more to be relied upon than the conclusions which we reach by an ela orate process of reasoning. No man that has an intelligent wife, or who is accustomed to the society of educated women, will dis- pute this. ‘Times without number you must ave known them decide questions on the in- stant, and with unerring accuracy, which you have been poring over fur hours, perhaps with no other regult than to find yourself getting deeper into the tangled maze of doubts and difficulties. It were hardly generous to allege that they achieved these feats less by reasoning than by a sort of sagacity which approximates to be the sure instinct of the animal races; and yet there appears to be some ground for the remarks of a witty French writer, that when man has toiled step by step, up a flight of stuirs, he will be sure to find a woman at the top; bit will not be able to telt how she got there. How she got there, however, is of little moment. If the conclusions a woman has reached are sound that is all that concerns us. And that they are very apt to be souud on the practical matters of domestie and seeulur life, nothing but preju- dice or self-conceit can prevent us trom ac- knowledging. ‘Ihe inference therefore is una- voidatie, and the man who thinks it beneath his dignity ake counsel with an intelligent wife stands in his own light, and botraye that lack of ju igment which he ly attributes to her.

One day, a dreadful nd I ealled out to Eddie : my son, you are hurting my part of the kitten ; Uheard her ery.’ “No, £ didn’t, mother; I trod on my part and your part hollered 1° Leaks Simety Srovpep—The Lynn News says: “Some years ago [ hada leaking ‘L.’ Every northeast storm drove its waters in.
