to procure q good husband. Thanks TO the Plan,
ct Venus proposal has at last been made You
will discover my dear SAM, that have singled you
out from the Trio who unite with you, not for the
purpose Of keeping you single, but OF doubling
your Joys and adding 50 per cent to your term OF
life. You deserve my heart, and you shall have
il. Your past SORROWS. on this subject, make You
only the more dear 10 me- and confess that do
most heartily love you. As to your worldly pos
sessions care nothing about them. Thank God

Mother--and 20 with you know not WHITTIER
What assurance can YOU give Inc that your ailec.

do not love Christ whom YOU ought to love. But
you profess 10 love me, poor sinful worm of the
dust, who can add bnt little TO your happiness
and that, only for brief period Of tmo, II our
enioymants IN this life are to be mUtuai--if we
really have any good hope, through grace, of a
glorious immortality are Sh0Htd be Christians.
do love you with all your faults, and really wish
your welfare. am willing 10 become your wife
to share in your cares and sorrows and to add,
if it be possible, tenfod to your happiness tenn.
poral and eternal But can this be done while
divine revelation is condemned, and the profession
Of your homage TO Christ neglected
Take up then my dear s. your deserted LITTLE
Pocket Bible, give TO its contents one kog of cacl
