Decatur's the next evening in greater elation of spirits than she had known since she left her uncle's; delighted to be missing from the party at Mrs. Thorn's, and hoping that Mr. Lewis would be satisfied with this very plain hint of her mind. A little pleased, too, to feel quite free, alone from too friendly eyes, and ears that had too lively a concern in her sayings and doings.
She was rapidly fitted out under his direction, in the harbor of New York, and proposed for one of Decatur's squadron, which was about to sail on another expedition.

Olmney isn't it quite a wild-looking scene, in that peculiar light and with the snowy background? Look at Philetus now with that bundle of sticks Hugh! isn't he exactly like some of the figures in the old pictures of the martyrdoms, bringing billets to feed the fire? that old martyrdom of St. Lawrence whose was it Spagnoletto! at Mrs. Decatur's don't you recollect?

"There is a matchless simplicity about her," said a gentleman standing by. "Her dress is becoming," said Mrs. Evelyn. "Why where did you ever see her, Mr. Stackpole, except at our house?" said Constance. "At Mrs. Decatur's I have had that pleasure and once at her uncle's." "I didn't know you ever noticed ladies' faces, Mr. Stackpole," said Florence. "How Mrs.
