TUE CONVICT'S DEATH.
Among the herd, for thoy wcro worihy of no olhcr name, was a convict and his wife, who interested mo moro than any of tho others. Ho hnd been convicted of forgery nud sentonocd to trnnaportation.— Hi.a wifo had applied lo lho proper au¬ thorities, nnd by a pcrsovcranco that only affection could prompt, won permission to accompany htm.

His wifo stood , by him, endeavoring by every art of which she w«s mistress, to win his heart from sadness. I determined lo address lliom. ! I saw thai they were bolh superior lo lho : rost of tho unfortunates on boord, nnd my I sympathies wero excited in oonseqnonco.
I "You seem to bo severely indi.sposcd,"
II said lo him.
I "Sinking sir I dying!" ho replied. "I j havo n broken heart hero, sir ! Tlio shamo ^ ofa public trial and a partial dcoi.iiou, has ; dono ils work."

While we were congratula¬ ting ourselves' thnt this was so—wbilo wo wora indulging hopes and plana for tho future, my husband waa arrosted auJ thrown inlo.Newgate Prison on the charge of forgery!"
"flrcat Heaven !" I oiolaimed, "whnl iiiju.stico."
"Was il nol, sir? Bnt wc oonfiilcntly trusted that ¦ a trial, under the bonsloil justice Ilf English law, would acfpiit him fully. It appeared thai an onler had beon drawn for X:;00, upon a well known houso in Lull Jou, by a firm f|iiita ns well known.

Ilo charged my husband wilh having given tho order lo Ilim, and brought no less than tbreo person.s who sworo that tboy saw Mr. Barlow draw il up nnd hand it over lo lho ynung man."
"Horrible!"
"Ycl it is Iruo, sir, every word of it," exclaimed thc invalid.
"It w.a3 nearly a year liefnro my hus¬ band was broiiglil lo trial," continued Mrs. Bailiiw. "Ilia health suffered mate¬ rially from tho long confinement and tho wearing anxiety, and when ho wa.s ar¬ raigned nt tho bar ho seemed more filled for lho sick bed than llio prisoner's douk. A!! that Iog.l! talent could dn for him was done. Our small means were entirely ex- hau-toil in securing lho services of a dis- tingiiiBhod advocate. But tho opposing force was too .strong for ua. In vain our counsel endeavored to make out n caso of conspiracy. Tho oaths of tbo parliea woro received, and my husband, broken in health and spirits, wounded in honor and utterly wretched, was condemned to trans¬ portation."
"Yel you sharo my punishinonl nnd ex¬ ile," said Mr. Barlow with a poor attempt al a smile.
"Yes 1 but thoso in power would have denied mij that comfort hnd T not impor¬ tuned them incessantly. Now, sir! tdll mo, do you believe my stalcnient?"   .
"Iinplioitly 1" I replied.
"I am graloful for tho admission. I eannol boar that any ono .should think my husband guilty, for I know bim to bo en¬ tirely innocent. Othera will claim the samo consideration, I hnvo heard ihom de¬ clare it beforo Hoaven. Wo know how wc nro oppressed. See bis blanched cheek nml luslielcss eye, nnd say if you can, that thero ia a single evidence of guill thero."
At my suggestion, lho surgeon of tho ship was instructed to p.ay parlicularnlt(;u- lion to Mr. Barlow, bul it soon bccamo evident thai human   aid   could   not   ln|lg
"It is useless 1" ho would .lay. "ffecl that I have not long to live. Wcro il not for my poor wife here, I should hnrdly care lodoso. Character gono ! pro.lpoots ruined ! what havo I but her lo keep rao huro ?"
"But, dear husband !" tho faithful wo¬ man would urgo OS sho bent abovo him, with lho lovo light boaming from hcr eyo, "wo m.ay bo hoppy yet! Lelua leavo our regrets behind u.s, and in lho, ncw laud, where our fortunes aro lo ba cast, slrivo to gain a compolonoo and hapjiiiicsii. Wo must ohecr up! and thank Ilcavcu ihnt wo havo each other left lo love."
But not even her hopeful words couhl s;ay thc hand of tho dcsiroyer. T)sy by day hc slowly wasted unlil it was only by the nssislanee of hi.s wifo and friendly seaman thnl lie could manage to gol un deck.
1 Wc wero wilhin lliirly-six hours of Oib- raltcr ns lho surgeon approached the cap- lain and myself, and informed us that Mr. Barlow was dying. By Iho captain's or¬ ders nnd nt his own requost, the sufferer was brou.ght upon dock and laid upon a uialliess and roll of canvass near lho miin haloh. Ho seemed a moment revived by ^ho gontlo breeze that fanned his brow— but tho relief was transitory. His ap¬ pearaneo changed for tlio worse, and lio sank baok exhausted.
Ilis breathing became moro labored — His eyes, in which the fading light uf life, . was dimly tccn, turned toward tho nno ! who bad borno troublo with hiiu, and iu ' strong devotion, had followed him iolo , exile.
