Squire Amesby, to Judge from his appear
ance, was man of about forty winters
His locks were. somewhat bespfinkled with
grey. and beside the maiden Of nineteen, he
looked rather to be her father than a suitor
for her hand. Yet the squire was quite
wealthy. and was just the person to suit the
parent Of the young and fragile fOwer--ths

Amelia, are you aware that to morrow

TO make TO please her father
Thak night, after she Parted with her af
fauced husband, how she turned on her Dill,
low inirestlessness, and how her heart sank
Within her as she contemplated the dark
and gloomy future Of life.
The morning sun stole in at the window,
and threw its rays on the floor Of her room
yet sleep had never yet visited her pillow !;
her mind was busy with the days Of child
hood when Basses was ever beside her; and
the present-oh, she could net bear to give
q thought, so frightful was the reality
From the altar she was led home, as

Of Squire Amesby thus we will leave,
her, for the present at least.
