have always, and still believe, that we never
love, truly love, but once-we may imagine
we love many times, bot when our hearts feel
the real strength Of love, then it is we find we
have never loved before; because then, we have
feelings different from any ever felt previous
IT'S then, and then only, we are conscious of
the delicious sensations of love--thcse feelings
can only be felt once-they are now filling to

Inever loved to kiss any one save you, precious
darling.

which characterize the other letters. We
quote the following verbatim from this letter, as
it bears upon a part of the testimony taken yes
terday:
81 left No. Is at most unfortunate moment,
| fear; for | observed several persons in the
room opposite, whose faces could not distin-
guish from my UeiL, also servant in the rotun-
da. Now am afraid they will speak of it, for
of course they had seen the door tried, and then
my coming out, looked suspicious-I wished |
had remained a few moments longer, then |
might have left unobserved. Do, darling, try
every way and ascertain if any thing has been
said by the servants, for It's them Jear-I can
only hope you did not come out the same door
| did, for did you, of course it gave rise to re-
marks. However, trust these are only my
fears; but should you find that any thing has
been said, you had best endeavor to explain it
away. think it strange the door could have
been tried t,cice, and should like to find out
the person so inquisitive. | am almost afraid
to go to Al, for there am so apt to meet Mar
tina. However, dearest, leave it 10 you to
make the arrangement; but beg you will use
all means to find out ifany thing has been said,
as feel very anxious to know. cannot but
regret left at the time did; however, as no
one may have recognised me through my veil,
you can find out surely"
The letter continues with the remarks that
she feels that she is falling back to the state of
mind which made her "almost destroy herself
yesterday" Could not long support such
life of anguish, asks HIM, "why will you not
wrest me from these suferngs and make me
happy"
