seen it, dearest, in your dark eyes, in your speak

tones of parting, my Janiel'' He would have
caught her to his heart, but she stepped back. =
"And that is the confidence you, have brought
me here to listen to, is it2'' said she. Here is
my reply: You have gone through the eopjuga

women are disposed to study in the grammar Of
life but you have failed to reach the conclusion,

Oh how pleadingly the tone of tender entreaty
fell upon Janies heart. She drew away from him
