THE TWO EETTERS.
My stay in New York had been prolonged
far Beyond my,original intention when Wis
iced thai city, anl was pining to return to
my native village, and to the arms Of my
dearest julia whom hoped soon to make
my bride, had drunk deep Of the cup ot
sorrow during my absence from her, and
looked forward with glowing anticipatlon5 to
she time when We should meet to part nc
lnore.
At last my business took favorable turn.
Thee was no longer anything to detain he
in New York, and made hasty prepara-
hons for departure to my native village, -
1t was the evening before designed to set
out, that wrote two hasty letters to prepare
my friends for my reception.
The first Of these eplstlcs WAS to Julia. -
