| The next evening afer Edmond had
been there, he received letter from his
father requesting his immediate reIurn
home; and wishing him 10 remain there
two or three months. He lmmed,a,e-
ly repaired TO Mr.. Hansworih'e 10 in
form Adeline Of the event. This was
very unpleasant news to Adeline, but
still she knew he would mol be long ab-
cent, consequently their separation was
not so painful SIT would have been, had
there been no hopes Of his return.
As they separated, reciprocal prom
ises were Wade 10 correspond wlh
each other, during all tho time Of bis
absence; but still afier he was gone ADJ
cline fell aksndness in her heart for
which she could no, account; in vain
she would try TO rally her spirits, but
The secret fOreboding still was there.
In a few days after Edmund's de-
parlure Mr.. Hans sworh was taken .ex-
iremely i'll; the physician soon informs
ed lhem.tbat II was impossible FOR HIM 10
recover. This was shocking news 10
his wife and daughter, 30 strongly were
they attached TO him, it seemed almost
impossible 10 give him up; but the grim
monster soon done his work. Mr. Hans
worth fingered but Two weeks when he
was taken out Of this world, but gave
evideRce that he had gone to better.
After their grief was little subdued
Adeliue felt her mother doubIy endear-
ed 10 her; she thought they might still
be happy; she knew by their industry
and economy they might live comfort
ably on the small fortune they had left.
But The fates had otherwise decTeed (;
AdeliDe it seemed was misfor.une's
ch'ld. Not long after her father died,
her mother was taken with the same fe-
yer, and in a few days followed her
husband. This was almost too much
for the delicate young Adeline. she
theHgh' heaven had forsaken her, che
was Iell all orphan amongst strangers,
without one relation near kind friends
eDdesvored TO assuage her grief, but
she for a time refused to be CON-
foried; atIenglh she called sound res-
son and holy religion to her aid, which
will illuminate the dark wilderness, and
smooth the ihorny path ofllfe, for those
who are in possession Of them. Adeline
IN all her troubles, trusted hi heaven, she
would often be seen breathing ferveni

When she become somewha settled ~
her mind, she d,d not know what TO do;
she did not think it altogether pruGeu,
TO remain at the cottage; she was ad.
vlsed by several friends, different WAYS:
Iome thought it best for her to ret7io the
young woman and boy, her father had,
and continue 10 live al her own house.
Others thought she had better remove

some friend; but she felt an aversion TO
It. so strongly was she attached 10 her
t"me. At length she was persnade
md insisted on, by numlerIess friends,
particularly by Mr.. Es'on's family who
eemed anxious she should reside with
hem. She at length complied with
neir request, and with reluctance dis
:harged the gIrl end boy to whom she
vac strongly attached, and removed TO
he house of Mr.. Eaton.
Edmund had now been gone al mos

hat Mr.. Wilson, his partner, had re-

Adellns. her suspense became extreme.
Her trouble ior some time after his de-
pa,ture, had been sn great concerning
the loss of her parents that she did not

otherwise have caused. At length the
time came when Mr.. Carlton was ex-

but all his acquanlances, AdellHe felt
The bitterness Of uncertainty and sus-
peuse, which are always almost Too IN
lo'erable to be borne; hope and fear
alternately took their place in her bosom.
She had hopes and fears ifhe did return
