THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

thrqw me off for another sweetheart, who I learn from your
letter with sad surprise was formerly in favour, and has now re-
turned to his allegiance. Surely, 1, who have never departed
from that allegiance, have the most claim on your kindness,
and I feel sure that when you come to consider the matter
seriously you will allow me to resume that place in your es-
teem which you have permitted another to usurp. You say
you should not be happy were you to keep your engagement
with me, but in this I must differ from you, and I am firtbly
persuaded that you would have a right to expect baVpiness
from the future consciousness of having fulfilled 'yeti' duty
towards me. Pray do not think lightly of thtsg l'ettect on the
pain of mind you inflict upon me, and mtrreMber that a young
man seriously deprived lof the hope to 'whith he was adhering
with fondness, receives an injury width is beyond the surgeon's
skill. lam not, my dear Mary Anh, the coward for which you
take me. Ido not give you up as hopeless because you have
expressed a sentiment differing from those which I have always
heard from' you. I am ready at once to perform my part of
the engagement, and will take you, whenever convenient to
yourself, and_ I hope a no unwilling sacrifice,_ to that altar

which Iwould not approach lighty, Lila on which I shall call
you to plight your faith to me, and I promise carefully to guard
the happiness which will be thus intrusted to my care. I hope
your last letter was candid; you distinctly say there is_ no

Other reason for you wishing-to-break off the eugagement than
that an old sweetheart has returned and now stands in my
place. Answer me frankly, for if you are disguising the rea-
son you are not dea7ing by me. If you have any objection to

my person, or any dislike-to my habits, you on-ght to inform
me of it, that I might have the opportunity of altering what
displeases you, and of becoming more agreeable to your taste.
Do not keep int,. in suspense, as I have been a longtime without
bearing from you as I expected. I accept your pretty purse,
but I have not expended for you nearly as much as you sent
me. I have therefore a balance to strike with you, but feet no

disposition to be in a hurry about it. as I hope our future inte
views will be long, intimate and many.
"I am, my dear Mary Ann, yours affectionately,

An immediate reply was sent by the defendant, in which
she repeated her decision. It would be objected, no
