eight leagues from this town, resting his men and

delicacy-a property, which | believe to be
natural to her, not nero result of educa-

avowal of the sentiment. But she cannot
wholly disguise or conceal it 1t will then
depend entirely on the mans penetration,
and his seeing only natural betrayal Of
her preference, whether he is to be affected
by it, and moved to love in return. We

leaf turns, and we read new page

Thou who are happy now, even thou shalt
see thy leaf of happiness turn to show thee
that Of sorrow. But be not spiri,less!-
Hast thou not heard the storm arise and
again become calm! Hast not seen the
thunder clouds drawn upon a summer
heaven and again dispersed? See the leaf
turns-thou hast thy joy, thy brigh: skies
again.
And should the wind even for some time
remain quiet, subjecting thee 10 dwell long,
perhaps, on melancholy episode, then
never despair! Eternal quiet is not found
this side ofheaven. Patience only! Hear
the winds play again-the leaf turns, and
with swelling sails thou art borne upon the
dancing pillows. And after having read
through many, many leaves-after having
in turn suffered and enjoyed, wept and
smiled-when thou art weary of these ever

once more turns the leaf, and thou dost rest!
