ne, promise me Just to listen to few words
m going to say TO you-Dearest, | do believe
hat there never was a woman had such feel

Is it you will not believe these words, fresh
from pure heart-Oh dearest, you do not
know how miserable it makes me when you

another what do for you. | may have be-
lieved | loved Others, but good God! what were
those sensations compared to what now feel.
Then it was calm, quiet, sober feeling-in-

storm in my heart-sHeet, burning, passion
ate, glowing enthusasm-such strength that
am ovcrpowered it flashes, like an electric
shock, through my soul-Oh! God! it deranges
me. If this is not love, what in the name of
Heaven is it? Now how can believe for one
moment, that ever loved before, for have ne
yer in my whole life had such feelings as now

not, but what | feel now is love-yes, love, in
its purity, its strength, in its deep, unutterable
alteration. OH dearest, if you could but read

heart been given to another, and | now will
make holy sacred promise, and you must
never, for one instant, doubt the faith, the per-
feet love, which prompts this vow: swear to
you, loved one, from this hour am wholly, en-
tlreiy yours, not even one thought shall be given
to another-every atom, every mite of love,
glowing III THIS heart, is yours, and only yours.
My life, from this day, shall be exclusively de-
voted to you-the object of every thing, action,
word, shall be to make me more and more wor-

you would wish me act, were we united in the
