beauty, and greatly superior 70 it as an en-
dowment, she received from nature the gift of
a larg, and generous heart, with such
breadth and capacity of love, such powers of
sympathy and ten crncss c'd friendship. as

newly come into his emplov. and To whom
the dukes person was unknown On his re-

borer's, so restricted and 50 uncertain and
confined. and saw it with deem feeling of
sadness akin to self reproach. All that he
could do by the most conscientious and unre-
mitting efforts seemed so little to bridge over
the awful chasm.
