shafts Of the little god till he beheld
Lucille, whose fond attentions to the
necessities of a poor blind mother
made a deeper Impression upon his
heart than all the charms of her face
and person, in which she was un-
equalled by all thc pretty maidens
with Which the village abounded,
and what rendered them doubly be-
witchina, she was entirely void of
that vanity which is so frequently
attendant upon her sex, and was all
artlessness, good natar- and limo
ccncc.
Theodoro's manly beauty, and the
intrinsic qualities he possessed, had
made a powerful impression upon
the affections Of Lucille, and having
acknowledged for each other a mu-
tual attachment, the preliminaries of
their union were adjusted, and they
were on the eve Of being united,
when wars deadly blast summoned
Theodore TO the field, and he was
Obliged to tear himself from lis -iii-
anccd bride to so and meet the Aus
trian foe.

were quartercG, Il letter was dcliv-
cred to our hero, which, on break
ing the seal, he found to be from Lu-
ellie, informing him that she was so
i'll, that the faculty entirely despair
Ell of her recovery.

state of mind that Theodore was in
! on receiving this melancholy intclli-
, gencc. he was, in fact, nearly dis
tracted. To ask leave Of absence
:, he knew would be useless. Lucille,
his kind, his al'cctionatc, his beau
, teous Lucille was dying, and he was
not near her to receive her parting
kiss, and to assure her that, in If,
f or death lis affection was uncAang-
ed. The thought was madness =
