THE TWO COUSINS,
COUSIN CHARLES.

from the part OF uhe country IN which my taml> |
ly resided, that had almost forgotten him; aud |
yet on tho morning Of his calling to see me.
soon after his return, his voice awakened a |
thousand lender recolleclions Jr by gone days. !
- When we were children together, a very
happy Intimacy existed between lIs, aud very
often we shared each others pleasures with
more than br,lher's or sisters affection. Now
lie aud had come 10 years of maturily-still
was single, and.he, hardly know how to say
it was az handsome as ever, though rather more
sedale, and there werea!hw care-marks on his
forehead. t1s 81
Charles had not sat With me long, before he
said many kind words, calculated to awaken as
many kind feelings in my willing heart. te
talked ofold times-old acqualntances told old
stories-.went ovor the old grounds Of our coun
try place-the school house-the nutting ground
the little bridge over the brook, and oh, a
thousand things too numerous to mention here;
so that when he rose to 60 away, found my.
self asking him two or three times. why he
went so soon. believe he saw my state of
feeling, and half rejoiced in t-though he look
ed very serious as he hade me good bye.'
He called again, he was more lively than be-
fore, and talked and laughed - with my father
and mOther-;ill the evening was almost gone,
and then proposed short walk with me.
knew not why, but uemhled when put my
arm in his. He seemed 10 notice it, and spoke
more kindly than ever. ..
Our walk was a very long one, and yet the
time passed so rapidly, that when we returned
10 the door, believe sighed, and said some
thing about the evenings being short. What he
said IN reply, l do not exactly remember, for
was really quite agitAted as found him upon the
point of bidding me adeu.
Somehow remember my hand was still in
his az We entered the ligh, had been moved
and in which the objects were somewhat indls>
tlnct.
MARY said he, perhaps ] shall not see you
again in long time, and wish to ask very
serious question, perhaps you will not like to
answer me Immediately
He spoke in a soft gentle tone. and I remem-
her now, distinctly, how tre.nbled from head
to foot
