one evening in July, that he caught a
glimpse Of beautiful creature, who was
scuddlng along through the crowd

pushing pedestrians TO the right aud leI''
he forced his way through the throng'
and after passing three or four cross
streets overlook her. He wished to, ool
dared not turn to have another oK--h's
courage failed him, and he passed by
her.
After walking on awhile, and reflect
