OF gay life-I think itwastos too much
precious time and l waut, therefore,
q wife who will be domestic, aud not
involve Inc in ro1nd Of balls and On E
tcrtaiuments Tdo not wish to be a
hermit, a few friends arc great bless
ing, aud | shall always DO glad to
gpther around me a small circle oC the
right kind, but promiscuOus fashiopa-
bic visiting detest, Now think l
have found just the partner | require
Miss Mather, She is vcll.informcd,
agreeable, simple in her tastes, has
sound sense, and withal possesses q
large shars Of personal beauty, and,
if mistake not, the powor of loving
very deeply, lei marry hor and take
her to the city, her intuitivc tact
aud she has this to a remarkable de-
gree will soon supply any deficiency
II manner In short, | do not know
where I could make a better choice.
But she has no accomplishments
She can sing with untausht grace
and as to jabbering French, L don
know how that would make her bet
tor. She would soon learn, too, with
quick parts. Besides | care more for
a wife usofully Informed, than to have
one possessing only superficial accom- :
plishments,"
But her family Recollect who
your grandfather was. =" .f
"Aud who was hers 2 a worthy di.
vino, poor, grant, but cstimable
Besides l am above the can't you

journey.
"I am going back to town." HI
said &" tired Of rarolising. The f
for that is over, and I am afraid If
stay here | shall be as foolish as you.
So the two parted, for Lowell re
maiued behind, and in loss than
week it was known everywhere In th
village that he aud Edith were ell
gagged to be married.
IF you can content yourself wit
the precarious life of poor artist
he said, When he told his afiectio
"we may be happy"
Edith answered with look of h,
bright eyes, so tender, confding an
eloquent that Lowell adored her MOI
tthat moment than ever.
10 fortnight tbcy were marrie
when Lowell took his bride to see h
relations in the Southern city fro
whence he came Edith's partiu
with her aunt was sorrowful, but
was made in expectation Of speedil
returning. Arriving at Philadelphi
the carriage drove upto handsou
residence on Walnut street. She VI

burst from the windows.
"This is tho place said Love-

curtains and gilded mirrors rcachir
from the ceiling to the floor.
Whose house is this ? Have yr

surprised at such mogni6ceuce.
