beautiful of the Charlestown ladies' There is
very pretty girl residing in the same house where
am staying. Unfortunately che is too well aware of
her aengagng qualities and is apt TO imagine that all
who talk soft nonsense TO her in love with her. II
was only the other morning that she and myself
reading the Morning Herald mot your 81 together
and whispering something in her ear which
elected the following reply from her:
Believe me" said she that can fully appreci-
ale and shall ever feel grateful 10 you for your kind
feeling towards me, but fear they can never be re-

ear looked in her face now radiant with smiles
and thought her more than beautiful her parted coral
lips showed a set of alabaser teeth such painter
could portray.

but by my faith she is a beautiful creature.

Of waiting on her TO her home, and wonderful 10 re-

my arm, and was going 10 wrap my cloak about
