Nov hear me- said I, earnestly. Ifon-
iy ! might be allowed to speak for the ladies',
it should be in this wise. l would say that
wealth is not essential to happiness-that
we might, indeed, get on well without it,
II there be only true affection in the heart,
contentInent in the mind, and good de-
gree Of intelligence in the head, then cou-
pie will do. Then they will geton nicely

never look higher-who are so very repub-
lican in your tastes and feeIings,-pardon
me, but say very well for you who would
be contented anywhere, SO you only had

And noble boy added l.
Eyes, yes all very well for you, repeat.
But it wouldn't do for me. No, no indeed

The breeze from orange groves should fan

Only see, now said Mr.. Gordon, what
folly Really, did not know The doctor to
be sensible man, notwithstanding all this
fol de roll I'd be inclined to vote him from
civilized society,"
But he is-he tsp said Aunt Jane, ear
nestlv. srbese are only false notions float
ing, mist-like, about the horizon of his bet
ter nature. Depend upon it, they have no
deeper foundation. And will yet be clear
and bright
And strongly suspect added ]. that he
does not more than half believe himself, ev-
en- while speaking. Moreover l have apre-
sentiment that he is, in reality, on the very
eve Of matrimony ; and is only saying all
this to shut our eyes
But would he so deceive usi' asked Amt

to go to my room, | was spending the hol-
days there, while my husband was away on
business you deserve medal for your

Never mind, never mind said ], as l
babe them good night and left the room.
