Another wild sbr;ll laugb resounded in
my ears, and the mauiacs 5 ewes shoue with

back the long, black locks from his high
broad forehead, 81 knew your woman 5

Herbert, will, as / said be the bride
Of your future life. The unseen joys of

But no bride ever leaves her fathers home
without making preparations, neither can
