physical qualities are adapted to your
happiness:
"Never Never! II | am repulsed in
this instance, must persue my journey
through this bleak and desolate world
alone,' said Theodore, his lips slightly
quivering.
II am sorry Theodore" said Robert,
"that you should call this bleak and DESC
late world, when we cast our eyes a1oft
and see the sun, the glorious burning orb
of day, shining in all his beauty. When
we cast our eyes on the earth and see

"How could l look with delight upon
the sun, if the sun of my hopes was set
forever. What pleasure could view Of
the flowers afford me, when l knew

The object Of their conversation was
young lady Of perhaps eighteen summers;
her form was unexceptionable, her hair
was dark brown, her forehead was in

was enchantment to the ear. Indeed i,
seemed that nature, in forming her, had
made one master effort to blend every
quality that could grace and adorn wo-

lit is natural to suppose that Evaline { for
by that name, we will call herr would

ed on him they sent thrill to his soul,
but when she lifted her voice in song,
he was perfectly enchanted, utterly

mind day and night that she might have
given her heart to another, indeed, j,
was the prevailing opinion of those who
engaged in neighborhood gossip, thai
she had 1t was in this state of per.

conversing with his friend, the substance
of which has been given. Soon after the
above conversation between the two
friends, might have been seen young

saw, that it was house rich in every

more dear to Theodore by the interesting
treasure which it possessed. He was ush.
