, messy bank, under some wide spreading tree,
Arthur delighted to finger among the shadows OF
| the past. and relate the deeds OF his Revolutions
ary ance.tuls-,ccds of high chivaIly and noble
daring: to picture the beauties OF his southern
| home; 10 dwell on his prospects Of future dis
, tnctOn and eminencr, and to whisper. perhaps,
the story of his love. And Lilly loved TO listen.
She dIank in every tone of his exquisite voice.

thur'S side in the forest, the happiest of her life
There is pleasure in being alone in the

To Arthur and Lilly tho spring and summer
passed Plea, antly away, in evening walks, in
| twilight ralnhlcs, in moonlight excursions.
| They had forgotten the stern every day realities

talked; aud here Lilly had cypr cd a wiSll--a
strange enc il way--1o be buried!
