The air was impregnated with those sweet
odors which announce the waking of ma

strange influences Of the breeZes of spring,
and my wild imagination abandoned itself
to a thousand fantastic caprices. believe

longer a child. ! shall soon be sixteen.
May 1st.-Oh,. The wit, the charm, the
distinguished eloquence of my beloved =
We have chosen 10 have no witness OF our
felicity. We live in solitude absolute How
truly says celebrated writer, ''Love is e.
go,sm for two" How sweelly fly the
hours with these exquisite expansions in
which the soul of my Author reveals to me,
every day, new riches. The world with
it fallacous pleasures, lis hypocritical pro-
fessions, has no longer any charms for me-
What lovely existence is mine! If on
ly had not this slight influenza
.Hay 15M.-Aulhcr is as usual, the most
tender of husbands. No one could be more
gallant or more attentive. He seems to di-
vine all my tastes, my most secret desires
Our solitude is the same. We live for each
other only. For some days past the wealh
er is gloomy and wet, and the walking on,
of doors impossible. The days seem so
very long! Arthur looks al himselfa great
deal in the glass. He is the least in the
world coxcomb, my Arthur And SO then
it is true what they say, that men think OF
themselves before nybody else.
June lst.-Arthur grows absent and tacl-
turn. do not know why that am or
dinarily SO merry and light hearted, now
have my moments of sadness. To kill time
amuse myself with writing down those
stages Of my honeymoon. Arthur, with
professional tone which does no. become
him, represents my literary turn, and calls
me blue-s,ocking! "lnk," he said with a
sneer to-day, CLOCKS out Of place upon rosy
fingers" had not before perceived ,ha,
he is naturally OF a sneering and con.radic-

gone by when gave myself up to in.oxi-
eating dreams of happiness, arose to-day
with the dawn. hoped to find in the
woods aud fields the sweet emotion of for
mer times ! called Arthur to accompany
me but he had already gone ou! with the
sporlsmen, and his pursuit now occupies all
his days. ] cannot conceive what pleasure
men take in killing poor beasts !ha. have
never done them any harm. But they say
they have need of exctements. Arthur oh
heaven, has i, already come TO this.
June 2OM.-W hen we were first married,
Arthur slept with his head bare. Now, hor-
ror he covers his beautiful head with vul-
gar cotton nIghl-cap. Is il possible that o
gentleman born can submit TO such lnele-
CANT carefulness
June 22d.-To-day Aathur came back
from The chase with a cigar in bis mouth
This horrid odor follows me every where.
Decidedly my husband has all the vices OF
mankind.
June 24M-Our days now passed with
cut our exchanging a word. am almost
always alone. II he comes for me mo-
men,, he reads, gapes, and does not look at
me. If tears come in spite Of me, be leaves
