The clock struck eleven. The anxious, terrified
lonely mother shuddered at the sound, and with an
unconscious energy pressed her poor babe to her

she plunged by the fatal engagement she had
contracted, brought on a disorder which ovcrpow-

The lover was not the last to be informed of the
melancholy fate Of his mistress. Rccollectng that
