A T Hamburg it is customary for those who are bred to the liberal •^ professions , as well as the men of rank and opulent merchants , to have country-houses , with elegant gardens , at three or four miles distance from thc city .

of many merchants , traders , ancl females , who partook of them . The story of the unfortunate IVengarthia , a great beauty , shall be cited as one instance . THIS unhappy lady , in the prime of her youth and beauty , having , at a midnig ht revel in one of these countryhouses , been deluded , as it was supposedby a near relation , brought a burden with her to
, town , which she was obliged to bear , till the time limited by nature freed her from it . She had artfully concealed her misfortune from the eyes of the whole world , but a servant-maid , her confident : by whose assistance , at her delivery , the fruit of her indiscretion , whether alive or dead was never known , was conveyed into one of their stoves , and a large hre made to consume it .

The unhappy fair one could not , however , escape censure , ancl her reputation of course suffered for it . Nevertheless , as she was the presumptive coheiress of a considerable fortune , an indigent
gentleman of character was prevailed upon to marry her ; and they lived many years together in penury and want , on a miserable pittance allowed them by a person who long outlived the time they hoped .
