Of disgrace or reproach. The Spanish

Mexico. South America. and the Yves
Indies, in whom white blood, unmixod
with that Of any other race, existed
This is still the acceptalion Of tho term

A MuIatto is the offspring Of a white

that they are all in all to the heart Of
the woman they are wooing. But such
ones arc dcplorably few. The ardor
OF most men lasts only so long as last

tie for them or their love, and they
will try hard to become more worthy
of your regard. Not nirt: not strive
to wound their leeIings--we don't
mean that--humanity forbid; but don't
make yourself cheap, just keep your
own counsel, and the more hopelessly
in love you are the more do you
guard the knowledge Of that fact from
your lover. Keep it down and in, all
that you possibly can, till the magic
words are said that make you one;
then take off the bands but do it grad

degrees the strength OF the passion
which he has awakened in your soul.
