Poor Julia had been wishing and wishing for him. His well known step sounded il the entry; the door opened, ,ahd she mel bin with heightened colorih her check and her blue eyes flashed from beneath theiI long lashes with sparkles of unwonted i pleasure. Shall mention particulars g- 1t is scarcely necessary. He who cannot imagine how a warm hearted young wife, in the honey moon, would meet her idol after having been absent taOO sckOle days, 1 is no reader for me. s
 .Okr she exclaimed, after the first transport had little snbsided, am glad you have returned, dear; dear Charles !-- l vas afraid you might not cOIne--that you wore sick, or some accident had occurred. But here vou are. And now, have you had a pleasant timel and how do they all do? and whom did you sec 6 and 4---- = 7 Charles stopped her mouth. '..ss...4 <.
 Yes. bere I am, safe and sound, aiSd full of news; but you hnddle question up- on. question with such volubility that ! shall never get chance to answer them, and your mouth here wide open to ask l don't know how many nAore.' .'la9e lstaei
 '@s We'll, then, answered she, fiinging her. |nself into an attitude of attention, and fuld- ing her arms like a judge on the bench. .-
 there am dumb, and ready to listen to the news-I won't speak another word ill you have done ts, s@. ..a 4

 sWell, them continued her husband laughing, in the first place, they are all well in the next, have had a very pleas ant time; and, lastly, I have seeDold Mr. Peterson, and aunt Sarah, and Mir. and Mrs. Vanderdyke, and little Bab,.

 sOh, no!' replied Charles, mysterious ly; far from it, Julia. ! have met one more--one most beautiful, bewitching be- ing more-tho very counterpart of Venus. Such consplexion--such ringlets, longla glossy--and cheeks---roses and lillies are nothing to them! There is nothing in all nature sweeier than her lips, and her eyes are bright dangers no man should rashly encounter. They were soft, melting, liz qnid, heavenly blue--full of the light of in ltellect, and tremulous every beam of them with, a tenderness that makes the heart acle.' 'ik ,seti tJfaf .y..F
 .a You are only testing with me- said Ja- lia, endeavoring, but in vain, to check tue change that camC over her face, as the shadow of the cloud fits across astream fsThis is some stupid Dutch beauty, and you can scarcely describe her, without laughing. Come, now, tell the truth.'
 You may believe it or not. just as yo' !. please, said Charles sbut Iassnre you tn \ whole account issas true us tlss enjoymen of it was enrapturing, and the memory i | delicious 'f,' 7'.t.'4s ss9 t'..5 V ~ -}s Julia was sensitive and artless. Sh !, loved her husband with that deep tender ness which knew, all the thrills of love hopes and fears. Her heart was like goblet filled to. the brim, whose content trensble and overflow when shaken ever q lightly. There was, therefore. in tbes' enthusiastic praises of another, somethin, strange, and even cruel. Still she could not believe that he was serious; and fore 1 ing smile, and struggling to keep dowI ter rising emotion, she listened to him il silence as hc rattled on. ,s 8 48
 sOur meeting was marked with .uncani

 Poor Julia---she thought she heard thu knell of her young dreams. The hue q
 her cheek and tho sparkle Of her azure eye, were gone long before; and as ht painted in such glowing cOlcrs the picture Of his feelings, her lip quivered. and tear: swelled up aud dimmed the blue light ol eyes beautiful as day. W @ l. will never speak to. yeu again, | eA 4
