returned in every dream of the imagination her
health declined, and though she grew lovelier day
by day, that decline was not invisible to those who
looked upon her. Her father found her resignation
and obedience, her fHal love and confidence, re-
naming undiminished but she was not as he wish
ed her, entirely happy She was cherished like
tender flower; every amusement was spread be-
fore hers every pains taken TO win her back to her
former pursuits and pleasures; but in vain Her
lutte was voiceless her pencil remained untouch-
lected and unseen by her.
At last, after many months, preparations
made at the mansion for splendid party glow
OF unusual pleasure sat on the brows of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sanford; the relatives of the family were sc
morally invited and Julia was summoned from her
chamber, in the afternoon, to meet the assembled
guests.-She came and the first face she saw was
Afred8 his eye beaming with Joy and swimming
IN tears of delight the shock almost overcame Ter;
but she recovered when the first surprise was past,
and with her hand throbbing in his, was led for
ward to the circle Of select relatives, who had been
assembled. Her father and mother received the
young couple and taking them by the hand, in
formed their friends that they were destined for
each other. Then every heart was light, and every
countenance joyous The tea-table was spread,
and large poundc&ke graced the centre, entwin-

The inconsistencies of men are endless we are
most alarmed at what we most wish for, and most
certain Of what treat if they were matters of
doubt, viz old age and death In sincerity, there
is person who does not wish to live TO a good old
age; yet we deceive ourselves, and act as if age
instead Of being honorable, were disgrace to those
who possess it: we deny our age, disguise the
traces Of time, fly from wisdom, experience, and
reflection, affect not to desire to live to any extra
ordinary period Of time bet the reason for all this
is, that wish to put off thinking on the last scene
of life; that, when it will it is sure to steal
upon US like the foot Of the assassin, unheard and
unobserved. To say that such conduct is absurd
and unwise, would be merely pointing self evident
fact, which every one knows; but we will prove
that ridiculous as well as criminal in che
rishing these decisions, which impose upon none
but themselves, and that those who are taken BIZ
surprise in the decline of life 1--WE except, of course,
those whom accident, war, Or any other premature
mortal blow, mingles with the dead) have many

No one who knew not how carefully the Young
heart kindng in its first attachment hides away its

hearts when as soon as an opportunity offered,
she weighed the import Of each with palpitating

beauty and splendid fortune, youth, vivacity and
genius, combined to shed around her an attractive
glory which drew many already to her shrine She

parents for her hand and while she felt the pow

hard for reason to overcome passion--and though
she had trusted the secret even to the desert

only wealth was genius, but whose mind was cast
IN the mould with her own--and who added
