"When shall return? do not know. The

will be eighteen; she will be your companion,-

She justified him! Was it not at that time

they put their feet in the enchanted realm Of
love. They walk therein, surrounded by the
heavenly Light which their souls emit, and the
color them with the fires OF their own
feelings, and ascribe to them their
noble thoughts. The errors Of
woman almost always come from her belief in
right, or her confidence in truth. For Eugenie,
these words, Il lily dear Annette, my well-beIoT-

guage Of love, and caressed her sonl as, in her
childhood, the divine notes Of the Nenite Adore-

loved his father SO much and wept him SO
truly, that tenderness came Less from the good
ness OF his heart than from parental kindness !?
Mr. and Mrs. William Grandet, by always satis-
Tying the fancies Of their son, and BY giving him
all the enjoyments Of wealth, had kept him
from making those horrible ca1cula-
tions. Of Which, to q greater or lesser
extent, most children are guilty at Paris, when,
confronted with Partisan pleasures, they form
desires and conceive plans which they regretfully
see constantly postponed and delayed BY the life
Of their parents. The prodigality OF the father,
therefore, had been SO great as to SOW in the
heart OF his son true flial love, without any
afterthought. Nevertheless, Charles Was
child OF Paris, trained by Parieian customs, and
by Annette herself, to calculate everything;
already an old man under the mask of youth.
He had received the fnghtful education Of that
society where, in one e7ening, there are COM
mitted, in thoughts and words, more crimes than
Justice Furnishes in the criminal courts; where
jestB assassinate the grandest ideaa; where one
is looked upon as able only in proportion az one
takes correct view of things; and there, to take
. correct view Of things is to believe in nothing,
neither in feelings nor men, nor even in facts:
they make false facts there. There to take
correct view, it is necessary to weigh each
morning the purse of friend to know how to
shrewdiy make ones self superior to every
thing which happens; moreover, to admire
nothing, ng,-neither works OF art, nor noble deeds;
and to asaign personal interest as the main
