A BEAUTIFUL LETTER.

The follow ing charming letter was writ
ten by young lady pning with the con-
sumption, to young gentleman to whon
she was engaged IN marriage. she lived
il New York aud was spending u winter
in New Orleans, hoping that mllder cll'
mate would restore her health. But she
gradually sunk under the dreadful disease
and died ere she returned home. ii breathes
the shirt of lmpassluned deuOtion, and lis
peru.al will awaken the .lvIest aud best
sensibtles oflhe heart. The sweet. hal.
lowed sentiments which pervades it the
spirit of unchanging attachment which
distance cannot weaken. nor the proSDc
of death extinguished is unearlhly, and
comes over the soul. like the mellow and
subsldlng influence of the setting sun.
