and watch the bride in her attire, and with her
smiling face and her soft eyes moving before me
! in their pride of life weave waking dream OF
her future happiness, and persuade myself that it
will be true. think how they will sit upon the
luxurious sofa as the twilight falls and build gay
hopes, and murmur in low tones the now forbid

Kiss, and the beautiful endearments of welded
life, will make even their parting joyous, and
bow gladly come back from the crowd and the
empty mirth Of the gay to each others quiet com
pany picture to myself that young Creature,
who bushes even now at his hesitating caress,
listening eagerly for his footsteps as the night
steals on, and wishing that he would come; and
when he enters at last, and, with an affection as
uodyng as his pulse folds her to his bosom, l can
feel the very tide that goes flowing through his
heart, and gaze with him her graceful form as
she moves about him for the kind Offices of afec-

OF feeling touched by loveness, that fears nothing
for itself; and ifever yield to darkened feelings,

me of the young and beautiful beings who daily
move across my path; and l would whisper to

The picture | have drawn above is not peculiar.
| Il is colored like the fancies of the bride; and
riany oh many an hour will she sit, with her

such dreams as these. She believes them too
| aud she goes on for while undeceived. The eve
ing is not too long while they talk of plans for
aappincss, und the quiet meal is still pleasant
aad delightful novelty Of mutual reliance and at
tyn,ion. There comes soon however, time when
personal topics become bare and wearisome, and
Slight attentions will not alone keep up the social
excitement. There are long intervals of silence,
and detected symptoms of wesriness; and the
husband first, in hi. manhood, breaks in upon the
hours they wont TO spend together l can
