/ DID YOU know Young R.tledgc Of whom
you spokeg sud Caroline.
/ | saw him Il, New Haven once only,
when he was on his return to Cambridge,
after a trip to New York and Philadelphia.
d. you think, asked Caroline, that he re-
selnhled the young man you spoke to at the
falls to day?
1t has been so long since, sister, aud |
saw him for 50 short time, that hlvc no
recollection Of his appe ,ranc,,; he h1d not
then become so distinguished, as since
but what are you making all these rnqui-
ries after this yoIng mln for, Garry? said
Alick rather playfilly.
My dear Brutlier Ill, Caroline, | am 20
ing TO communicate something 70 you very
near my heart. When ! was at Trenton,
became acquainted with a young mln
then in College, at Cambridge, whose
name is Wor;hin 5ton, from South Car,li-
M; after a very short acquaintance, he
solicited and received my consent, at n
proper time to become his wife. | was
perhaps hasty-but he was 50 noble in his
appearance, so diguiicd in bis manners,
and so persuasive in his conversation, thttl
found it impossiLle to resist the inclin ,tion
| found in my bosom to love him-besidcs
he was from the SIlth; his early eiuc ltion
his principles, feelings, opinions and projn-
dices were the same with mine, and then he
was so candid, 80 full of honorable and ex-
alled feelings, and with all, man fair ID
look upon, thai loved him for himself and
freely told him so. lie told me he was
poor, had scarcely the means OF completing
his collegiate course, and was to depend
for success in his future career, upon his
pcrs nal excliion alone.
NV dear Caroline, have you seen him
since? Caroline biz her lip, and faultering-

Often times, on reading my fltber's letters
when your marriage has been limited at
