The baronet straggled, bat in vain; a cord waa 
produced, and he was only saved from the igno- 
miey of being bound, by giving bis assurance 
that he -would remain in quiet durance in the 
cabin. It seemed to him that he bad nothing 
for it but to submit. 
8 lr George, reduced to Ibis condition, looked 
with indignation at his captor. 
She had cheeked the sailors for harshness in 
their usage of him, but otherwise she expressed 
no visible emotion. 
“Betrayed by you!” said the captive; “you 
whom I loved so much!” 
“Von loved me?” 
“Ves! well you knew it,” answered Sir 
George. “ Since you are an adventuress, cruel 
woman, would not my whole fortune, with my 
hand, have better paid you than a miserable 
hire?” 
The lady spoke not in reply, and Sir George 
held a scornful silence from that moment until 
he landed in the Thames. He was here put into 
the hands of the sailors, and conducted to a 
hotel, on giving his solemn promise that he 
would not attempt to escape. 
Believing all to be lost in any case, he was 
glad to be released from the confinement of a 
jail, though it might be but till Mb creditors 
were warned of bis eaptore. 
It was night when hie landing in the Thames 
took place. Sir George spent a wretched night, 
mourning over the fate which his conscience 
told him was not unmerited. In the morning 
he draw up an act, briefly giving np all to his 
creditors. He hud scarcely finished this when a 
visitor was announced. It was his betrayer, the 
baroness. 
“Wretched woman! what seek you?” said 
he, sternly. “Is not your task done? I have 
now to do with others.” 
“With none but me,” said the lady, in alow 
\olce, and with a timidity of manner most unlike 
her previous deportment. 
“Wbat do you mean, madam?” asked Sir 
George. 
“ I am your sole creditor,” said the lady; and 
she placed in his hands some papers, which he 
at once e aw to be bis own redeemed bonds. He 
looked up in amazement. “ You had a cousin, 
Sir George?” eaid the iqdy, with her eyes on 
the floor. 
“I had —Anne Fulton,” said Sir George; 
“wo were playmates in childhood.” 
baronet wa 6 on his way to Boulogne. The credit¬ 
ors stormed, and vowed revenge; but they at 
first knew not whither he would fly; and there 
are great difficulties attending the recovery of 
money from creditors on the continent in any 
case. Sir George fixed himself in a small 
country seat near Boulogne. lie bad been able 
to carry thither a sufficiency for permanent 
maintenance—above £20,000, nearly the amount 
of his funded embarrassments, after what he 
called “fair debts,” were privately settled. He 
lived for some time in great seclusion, only 
occasionally appearing in public. The society 
which he there met was not of a character to 
trouble Itself much about what he bed done, or 
was doing, or was about to do, so long as he 
maintained a fashionable appearance and a gen¬ 
tlemanly deportment. So Sir George led a very 
quiet life and,undisturbed existence for a time, 
always excepting some little twinges from a 
sense of violated honor, until love, the univer¬ 
sal busy-body, came in the way to overthrow the 
runaway’s repose. A lady mode her appearance 
in Boulogne, bearing the name and style of the 
Baroness d’Kstival. Report said that she was 
an Englishwoman by birth, and the widow of a 
foreign noble; and she was young, beautiful, 
and reputed rich. Ere long, such attractions 
brought all the danglers of dangling Boulogne 
into subjection to the baroness, and among the 
rest, our baronet saw and admired the lady. 
For a time, however, he was undistinguised 
by her, nor did he make any advance on bis own 
part. An accident brought round an eclairciste - 
men/. By a peculiar piece of awkwardness, as It 
seemed, on the part of her servant, the caleche of 
the baronness was nearly overturned near Sir 
George’B door. The young baronet sprang out, 
and the young lady appearing faint and terrified, 
he entreated her to alight for a few moments. 
She complied. It was the hour of lunch, and 
they lunched together; he then begged her to 
view his garden, and they walked together. 
When the lady was about to depart, Sir George 
begged leave to take the reins out of the bands 
of the awkward servant, and escorted her home 
in person. The result of all was, that the baro¬ 
net became an established visitant of the bar¬ 
oness, and having declared his passion, received 
an answer which left him much hope, while at 
the Bame time It promised him nothing positive. 
Sir George could not long be acquainted with 
the fair baroness without discovering that she

GREAT AMERICAS TEA COMPANY'S | 
SECRET! 
had one remarkable and somewhat eccentric 
taste; she was distractedly fond of angling —a 
perfect female Walton. She had hired for the 
season a large yacht, something bet ween a fish¬ 
ing boat and yacht, and every morning when the 
weather was good, she rose with the sun to 
amuse herself off the coast with the rod. 
“I really cannot comprehend the pleasure 
you take in this occupation,” eaid Sir George to 
her one day. 
“ It is a charming recreation,” answered she, 
gnyly; “ and besides, my physicians have recom¬ 
mended me to take as much air and exercise at 
sea as possible. I acquired the taste through 
this cause. Il is sometimes dull, to be sure, for the. 
sailors and my servants are no company. But I 
have been pressed by a certain gallant major and 
a certain warlike colonel to permit them to bear 
me company, and I think I must really consent 
some day.” How could a lover forbear to en¬ 
treat permission to occupy the place of these 
rival suitors ? Sir George could not. lie 
begged and sued, and the fair lady gave her 
consent that he Ehonld accompany her the 
next morning on one of her odd excursions. 
The'day proved beautiful, and the pair went 
aboard at sunrise. They sailed, however, far out 
to sen, and along the coast, ere any desire for 
fishing was shown by the lady. The water was 
not favorable, sho said, at one place, and then 
she declared t hat she had no fancy on this morn¬ 
ing for exercise. 
Sir George was rather pleased with this disin¬ 
clination, which was owing, he flattered himself, 
to her being absorbed by bis conversation, and 
she, on her part, seemed only to think of charm¬ 
ing him by sweet discourse. 
At length a slight shower fell, and the bar¬ 
oness asked her lover to enter a email, rude 
cabin, where a glass of wine and cukes were 
offered to him. Here they sat hour after hour, 
the lady enchanting her lover with talk that 
caused him to forget all hut her present self. 
At length he pulled out liis watch and started up. 
“ What! ” cried he, “ the day is far advanced, 
and I don’t think they have ever put about. 
The wind, too, is blowing directly from the 
coast Como, madam, if you fish at all to-day, 
it is surely time to begin.” 
The answer startled the poor baronet. 
“I have angled,” said she, quietly, “andwhat 
is more, I have caught my fish.” 
“What do you mean?" cried Sir George; 
“ what fish have you caught ? ” 
“Twenty thousand pounds!" answered the 
lady with coolness. 
Sir George stepped hurriedly on deck. 
“Distraction!” cried he, as soon as he had 
looked around. Pnt about instantly, pilot. 
That is Margate. We are off England.” 
“Exactly so, Sir George,” eaid the lady at 
his back. 
He turned round and looked at her. 
“ Your purpose, then, is to take me” — 
“To London, Sir George,” interrupted the 
lady, with calmness, though a gratified flush was 
upon her cheek. 
Sir George turned to the sailors. 
“My purse,” said he; “twenty-five louls for 
you if you put about for Boulogne.” 
“ Twenty-five louis! ” dried the lady, with dis¬ 
dain ; “what are twenty-five louis, when twenty 
thousand pounds art? in the scale 1 ” 
“ Barbarous, treacherous woman! ” cried the 
infuriated baronet, as he looked around with au 
eye that threatened peril to all, if he had but 
had the means to inflict it; but the baroness 
gave a signal, and in an instant his arms were 
pinioned to his side by two pairs of brawny ai ms. 
“ »he went abroad when a mere child, with 
her family?” continued the lady. 
“She did,” said the baronet, “and I bave 
heard was married to a very wealthy planter in 
the island where she settled. It pained me to 
hear it, for we loved each other when children.” 
“She wedded against her will,” continued the 
lady, "for she, too, remenfbered old days. She 
is now a widow.” 
A light had been gradually breaking upon Sir 
George's mind. lie started hastily forward aud 
took hold of the lady’s hand, almost throwing 
himself at her feet 
“ You are”- 
“I am your Cousin Anne,” said the laxly. 
It is ucedlcss to carry our tale beyond the 
point where the imaginarion of the reader can 
do all that remains to be done. 
The lady had returned to England a rich 
widow; had learned the situation and embar¬ 
rassments of her well-remembered cousin; had 
seen him at Boulogne; had contrived the over¬ 
turn at his door and made his acquaintance. 
She had only thought of the fisliiug.

TODD’S IMPROVED STAMPS FOR MARK¬ 
ING SHEEP. 
In a former volume of the Rural we had oc¬ 
casion to notice these stamps, which are recom¬ 
mended by prominent shepherds generally, 
among whom are Hon. Henry 8 . Randall, au¬ 
thor of the “Practical Shepherd,” Uexrt Ham¬ 
mond, of Mlddlebury, Vermont, and others. 
The plan of numbering and registering is much 
better understood than formerly, and is now 
practiced by most shepherds who have any con¬ 
siderable flocks. Since the decline in the price 
of sheep and wool, it is ef greater importance, 
as all the inferior sheep Bhould be sent to the 
shambles, keeping for breeding and for wool, 
only such aBare best adapted to that purpose. 
The stamps, one of which is represented here¬ 
with, are neatly made of iron, and when u6Cd 
with good coloring matter, leave a distinct im¬ 
pression npon the sheep as represented above. 
Mr. Todd says:—“At shearing time I care¬ 
fully examine each sheep ns to f*rm, (before and 
« after shearing,) length of 
staple, quality of woil, 
weight of fleece, etc., all 
of which is noted in the 
register for future refer¬ 
ence; and there Ls no 
time when so thorough 
an examination can be 
made as at shearing.— 
Now, it is impossible to 
select from a flock of 
sheared sheep, without 
numbering and register¬ 
ing, such as Bhould be dis¬ 
posed of or kept for stock. 
Refer to the register and 
you can readily select the ewes having the finest 
quality of wool, the longest staple, the heaviest 
fleeces, etc. Using snch ewes for stock as like 
beget like, it Is evident «• flock can be very rap¬ 
idly improved. Sheep numbered as shown in 
the cut above,iave much labor at yeaning time; 
as for instance. No. 90 may refuse to own ber 
lambs. If the sheep are in the field, the lamb 
may be taken to the house, and at. night, when 
ihe sheep are yarded, we can readily select No. 
90 from the flock. If a sheep is lame, drooptog, 
or from any cause requires especial attention, 
w r e can at any time select that particular sheep 
from the flock, though the flock, numbers hun¬ 
dreds. Tim stamp represented by tbe above cut 
is probably tbe most convenient form iu use. 
Tbe size of the stamp is 8 % inches.” 
Mr. T. informs ns that he will send stamps, by 
express, (charges paid, to all parts of the coun¬ 
try, except the Southern States,) at the follow- 
iug prices:—One set of figures, $2,25; two do., 
$4; four do., $7; six do., $9. Initials 25 cents

THE SONGS OF OLD. 
The song* of old! llow deep a spell 
Lies in the old familior word* 
Once *nrig by those we loved so well, 
In other day*, in happier year* 1 
Vielons of hope long paesed away 
Como o’er the heart so lone and cold; 
And memory arks, O where arc they 
Who Bweelly iipng the song* of old ? 
Where arc they ? Some In silence sleep 
Beneath the mournful yew-tree’s gloom; 
Others within the boundless deep 
Have early found an ocean tomb, 
Dim arc the eye* that gently thone, 
Tbe once warm heart lies Mill and cold, 
And hushed for aye, forever g< ne 
The voice that sung the songs of old. 
Where are they? On some ferelgn strand 
For many a weary day they roam; 
Cheerless they tread the strangers’ land, 
From friends afar, afar from home. 
Do they not long to join once more 
Tbe joyous dance, tbe social throng, 
And mingle, as in day* of yore, 
Tbeir voicee In the olden song? 
Fondly tbe heart still loves to linger 
Amid the ruins of the past. 
Tracing with fancy’s airy finger 
Visions too beautiful to last; 
Bringing to memory’s eye again 
The long-lost friend*, the cherished ones— 
Waking tbe past with some sad strain, 
Some well-remembered olden song. 
Ill 
So frequently have citizens of the United 
States been accused of making Canada tbeir 
home, while laboring under pecuniary liabili¬ 
ties, that that country baa grown to be 
considered an asylum for Indigent Americans. 
In fact, it may be considered the couutcrpsrt 
of France, as fur as that country bears Its rela¬ 
tion to English debtors. An illustration of this 
truth may he found in the following romantic 
story, which we do not precisely ask our roadere 
to believe in all Hb detail*, though there its 
nothing very Improbable in any part thereof. 
Sir George Hanford was a young baronet of 
good English family, who arrived at Boulogne 
some years ago under very peculiar circum¬ 
stances. lie had been left very young with 
command of a good patrimonial estate, but 
had given way so far to the fashionable follies 
of the young iu high life, as to allow nearly the 
whole of It to fly away on the turf as fast as race 
horses could carry it 
He had still good expectations, however. A 
A maternal relative, a merchant, and one of the 
richest in the metropolis, was likely, in due 
course of things, to leave Sir George his fortune, 
as liis nearest heir. He was fond of the young 
man, but had been greatly nnd perilously alien¬ 
ated by tbe conduct and reverses of tbe latter. 
It was while meditating on this subject, that an 
idea struck the nearly ruined baronet. “ How 
successful,” thought he, “my uncle has been by 
Mb speculations, iu tbe funds! Might not I 
have a chance that way also ? Might not I cast 
in my poor remnant of means into the great 
lottery, and pull out a prize ? I may as well try 
it; all that I have now is scarcely worth think¬ 
ing twice about I ehall try, at least” 
Poor Sir George! He forgot that though 
Borne seas may be deep, there are others which 
cannot be sounded at all; that however deep 
one may he in the mire, there is a chance of 
getting deeper. He did not venture his all in 
the stocks. He was successful once, and even 
twice. Getting Inspirited by his good fortune, 
he thought he had to venture further and win 
more. Alas! he was a novice merely in the 
hands of veteran gamblers. Some of the very 
woret members of the body who speculated in 
these matters, got him Into their hands, and 
knowing well what his expectations were, and 
where they lay, they led him on by a nibble or 
two, until, by a series, of rases, considered not 
infamous only on 6ucb a field of transactions, 
they at length got him placed under a load of 
debt which even all his uncle’s wealth would 
with difficulty lighten. Holding him bound by 
signatures and bonds, they then waited coolij 
for his accession to his prospective inheritance, 
knowing well that the same prospect would 
keep tbeir victim within reach of their grasp at 
any time. 
Sir George wandered about town for some 
months alter these mishaps, like a man with a 
rope around his neck. During that time he had 
many reasonings with himself on an important 
point. This point alfected Ms whole pros¬ 
pective fortunes. Tbe young baronet was 
naturally possessed of sense; he was well edu¬ 
cated, aud it may be said that bis heart was 
good, and his intentions fair toward all men, 
under ordinary circumstances; but his course of 
life, and the associations be bad, relaxed his 
moral principles. This acquired defect eaine 
now into play. The point which he canvassed 
with himself was, whether or not, after Laving 
most distinctly ascertained that he had been tbe 
dupe of his creditors, his engagements with 
them were bimliug upon him. liis good sense 
said yes, for they had acted within the law; his 
sense of honor said the Eame, for they had his 
bonds: — “But then,” said other internal ar- 
guers, “ they got these by base means, and they 
have not lost a shilling by me. Tbe article 
experience was wbat my folly bought from 
them at the price of a fair fortune, and with It 
came not a penny out of their pockets. Be¬ 
sides, if I pay these harpies, I shall be beggared.” 
The end of ihe whole was, that the uncle of 
Sir George died; the young baronet was left 
heir; and within a few hours almost, after being 
pnt in possession of Lis fortune, which was the 
portable one of an old money hoarder, the young
