well enough towards monriogto express a strong desire that i should be seat for a desire the more readily com plied with inasmuch as the strange expres sions and declarations aha had made since her restoration to consciousness had filled her sister with the most horrible suspici ons the nature of these suspicions was such as would at any other time perhaps have raised a smile upon my lips but the distress and even ngooy of the poor girl as she half hioted and half expressed them were such as entirely to preclude every sensation at all approaching to mirth without endeavouriog therefore to

sum moned at a time too when i had not com posed myself to rest fatally convinced me of the reality of what i have seen and suf fered this is no time for concealments of any kind it is now more than a twelve month since i was in the habit of occasion ally encountering in my walks a young man of prepossessing appearance and gentle manly deportment he was always alooe generally reading but i could not be long in doubt that these rencontres which be came every week more frequent were not the effect of accident or that his attention when we did meet was les directed to his book than to my sister and myself hee- ven seemed to wish to address us and i have no doubt would have taken some o- tber opportunity of doing so had not one been afforded him by estrange dog attack- log us one sunday morning on our way to church which he beat off and made use of this little service to promote an acquaint ance his name he said was francis somers and that he was on a visit to a relation of the same

plej sure of the meetings with which they lef minated at length a pensive impretsirfp began to exhibit itself upon his counter ance aod i could not but remark that d every visit he became more

my motbe aim thimhmc had imspued 4he wme pea ranee of melancholy and pressed him more strongly he at length admitted that his spirits were depressed and that their depression was caused by the necessity of an early though hut a temporary sepa ration his uncle and only friend be said had long insisted on his spending some months on the continent with the view of completing his professional education and that the time was now fast approaching when it would be necessary for him to commence his journey a look made the enquiry which my tongue refused to utter yes dearest mary was his roply i have communicated our attachment to him partially at least aod though i dare not say that the intimation was received as i could have wished yet i have perhaps on the whole no fair reason to be dissatis fied with his reply the completion of my studies and my settlement in the world must my uncle told me be the first consideration when these material points were achieved he should not interfere with any arrangement that might be found essential to my happi ness at the same time he has positively refused to sanction aoy engagement at pre sent which may he says have a tendency to divert icy attention from those studies on the due prosecution of which my future situation in life must depend a compro mise betweeo love and duty was eventual ly wrung from me though reluctantly i

before francis quitted x the evening immediately that warmth of expression which at first characterized his communications ooo night i had retired to rest ra ther later than usual having sat by the bedside rending and comparing hi last brief note with sotno of his earlier letters aod endeavouring to coovince myself that my apprehensions of his fickleness were unfounded when an undeniable sensation of reitlessoessand aoxiety seized upon me 1 cannot compare it fp aoy thing i had e- ver experienced before my pulse flutter ed my heart boat with a quickness and violence which alarmed me aod a strange treoinur shook my whole frame- i retired hastily to bed io hopes of getting rid of so unpleasant a sensation hut in vain a vague apprehension off knew not what occupied my mind and vainly did 1 en deavour to shake it off i can compare my feelings to nothing but those which we sometimes experience when about to un dertake a long and unpleasant journey leaving those we love behind
