Lewis urged an early day for the marriage,

least possible time in which my outfit
could be prepared. The next three months
were passed in whirl Of silk, .laces and

often remarked my silent ways and thought
full looks, which he attributed to sbyness
and over.exertion. With his grand faith
in me he never imagined my love was half
vanity.
AT length, but eight days were to pass
before our marriage. The rose tree was
full of opening buds, and I anticipated
wearing them at my bridal. Two buds
were half opened, and I brought the plant
down TO show Lewis, when he came in to
