mansion, where, after promising to write to one '
another as often as once month, they embraced {
and parted.
The next morning at very early hour Edward
was on his way 10 the city to attend series OF I
medical lectures in order TO finish the profession
he had chosen for livelihood throughout life.
He was the youngest son of very respectable
house joiner,and was the betrothed ofMss Anne
liza Wilson, the only daughter ola wealthy but
retired tradesman, who had emigrated 10 the
town Of M, when comparatively new; which,
ifthe reader has mind, we will leave for short
time, 10 follow our young mound digger (as a
very worthy M. D. once termed students of med
isne) to the place Of his destination, where he
bund a number of acquaintance of his profess
don, most of whom were from the South, and
young men of generous dispositions but very bad
characters for carousing and gaming, and they
soon initiated our hero into their schemes of
vickedness. Possessing free, benevolent heart
and great physc strength, and when little
,lated with wine knowing nc. fear, he soon be-
I.amc their chosen leader.
Seven months had passed away since he left
he place of his nativity and all ON earth that was
hen dear to him. During which time he was
changed from a modest, unassuming young man
Ito that of drunken sot, with swoln eyes and
lbloated face. He had received letter after let
Ter from his Anna, as he used 10 call her, en-
treating him in language of sweetness and elo-
quence to return as soon as possible, OF which
5 at iast he refused to answer, but Immediately
after reading them, he would cast them into the
? flames, saying to himself 'that such pieces of
composition were too angelic for him now.' The
! truth was he still loved her from the bottom of
his soul, for in his sober moments shade OF
melancholy would steal upon his countenance-
u then he would think of the many promises he
e had broken, his own degradation, and the dis
c grace he had brought upon his parents, and the
e thought seemed to madden his mind, and he
/ would plunge deeper into the guI fof nebriation
'' Oh, who does not pity the drunkard?
t. One day after Edward and his associates hod
II been on a real drunken scrape, in which man
is was murdered, Frank Hear:well, youth of ex
J. celIent qualities, came and told MIN shat theil
g old preceptor had got couple of fine subjects
G for dissection that evening, and he must get so
is bered up
IS When the evening shades appeared and the
= dark mantle of night was stretched over the
rs western world, young Heartfelt took the arm
l. Foster and they fastened from their boarding
D. house towards the dissecting room. When they
IS arrived the preceptor and most of the students
c were there, but had not commenced operations
1t Soon after, however, the subjects were ordered
+ to be laid on the table. Those that were to op
;; crate seized their knives ready 10 perform such
operations as should be assigned them by theiI
C leader. The first subject that was laid out foI
e dissection was the body of lovely female. Yes
e lovely even in death! Her elegant form, high
&c commanding forhead, and long silken tresses oI
g lha.r which hung down over her ivory shoul
y ders struck the whole company with aston
II ishment For an instant all were as still as the
e subject before them. When, of sudden, low
y groan was heard, then kind of wild, frantic
d laugh echoed through the apartment, and Fose

1t his cheeks were as white and bloodIess as Pariar
e marble, his eyes wild an unnatural, and he look
IS ed more like Eancied demon from the n(erna
/ regions than human being. He clasped the
n cold, inanmate corpse in his arms, and kissed he
e Iileless lips again and again, exclaiming, 'Oh
