came to- his assistance, and drew out char
acteris,ics hitherto unknown to exist in
his disposition and association with a
graceful girl, whose intellect possessed a
natural tact, and her manners a natural
!elicacy, gave tone TO Harry's own man
ners, which delighted his sisters, and made
his mother wonder. He no longer shut
himself up like an ascetic, as if despising
all around him he came out of his cell,
and walked abroad. Light-hearted as
Eliza seemed, and ready to make the air
ring with her merry laugh at the vcricst
tritle, she yet could pause to listen to her
"philosopher," when he dcscanted on
higher and graver themes. Greediiv she
inclined her ear to hear him talk of WON
dcrs in the heaven above and in the earth
beneath: and he, delighted with his apt
and alectionatc pupil, excrted himself till
his voice became musical, and his Ian
guagc eloquence. Often and often have
they walked under the starry canopy of
night, he speaking of the boundlcss uni
verse of the infinite God, and she listen
ing, as if the spirit of awe had come down
to abide in her heart. Often and often
have they wandered by the banks of the
stream, and talked of their meeting on
the bridge; and then she, becoming
more enthusiastic philosopher even than
he, would question him about the sun,
and light, and heat, and the composition
of the water that flowed at their feet, and
the growth of the trees which shaded
their path. TO both a new world was
opened; he, rich in the happiness which
the love of confding girl creates: and
she, richer even still in that exquisite ioy
produced in pure-mindcd heart by re-
posing on the affection of one who was
at once an instructor, friend, and loy-
er. Yes there is true, genuine. unaI-
loyed pleasure in such courtship as we
have been describing; and more of it
would be enjoyed, if we were less affect
ed and more trusting-more anxious to
establish an affection which will endure
for life, than to snatch momentarv adj
mira;iOn.
Some six months had elapsed since the
courtshlp commenced and to both the
time had been but as a pleasant day. The
winter set in, and one night, after attend
ing crowded meeting, the lovers were
foolish enough to walk about till the cold
drove them homcwards, receiving on their
way drenching from shower of rain.
Eliza caught cold, which settled into
dry, distressing cough; and after the
spring had set in, instead of getting rid Of
it, as Harry had fondIy predicted she
would, it seemed rather to acquire greater
strength. A roseatc tinge began to play
over her face but Harry, with all his SCI
ence, had not experience enough to cna-
bic him to understand the warning which
is gave. lie called one day, she was very
cheerful; her eye had an almost super
natural brll'lancy: the crimson of her
cheek was of the richest die Of Heaven
and her transparent skin seemed scarcely
to conceal the coursing Of her eloquent
blood. Harry thought he had never
seen more glorious creature in human
shape, and he burst ou' with my an

Business led Harry frequently in diff
ferent direction and though usually alb
sorbed in himself and his own medita-
tons, he gradually became conscious that
he was in the habit of seeing two full,
lustrous eyes, which, as they met his,
were always Immediately turned towards
the ground, and shaded by long, fringins
eylids. He was not very sharp in catch
ing the external qualities of those he pas
sed: had he met his mother in the street,
he would have been puzzled, had he been
afterwards asked what was the pattern or
color of her gown. He must, therefore,
be excused for only recollecting that he
was in the habit of meeting merely a pair
of most beautiful, notes.-the eyes; and
it required several casual meetings to ena-
bic him to imprint the image of those
eyes Oh his fancy. One day, passing
along IA narrow foot-path bridge, which
spanned a romantic stream, he became
conscious that his eyes were approaching
him. as the balustrade helped to contine
his attention, he could see that the figure
which bore the eyes towards him was
handsome and as it drew near, the eyes
seemed seated in very pretty face. A
moment before, passer-by might have
said that Harry was peculiar, but stupid
or, at least, heavy looking young man
but now a latent fire seemed to have
blazed up, and his own eyes appeared
like beacons shining through the darkness
of night. Harry stood still, for something
was coming over him which he did no,
rightly understand and, as he leaned his
hands on the balustrades, the figure which
carried his tavoritc eyes passed him. She
perceived that Harry was gazing; and
maiden modesty threw over somewha,
pale face flush that migh have rivalled
some of the hues of sunset on a sum.
mer's eve. She passed on, and Harry
turned to look after her. Up to this period
he had hardly been conscious of senti-
mcnt or feeling of beauty. Women had
hitherto only been distinguished in his
mind by being young or old, dark or fair
and his mother was the "best of the lot. y
Now, as he gazed after the sylph-liko
creature who was descending the slope
of the arch, he thought he had never seer
IA more graceful figure and when she dis.
appeared from his view, he looked over
the baIustradc, and perceived, what he
had never perceived before, that the
