Does light of love beam from those eyes? The love that in her Losom glows? Or is the light that lingers there Delusive, though it shines so fair? Who knows—who knows? Does that fair form of a fairer charm, A tender, loving heart inciose? A lLeart whose tendrils. like the vine, Would round the heart that loved it twine? Who knows—who knows? And should life's sky be overcast, And gathering clouds around thee close, Should fortune frown and false friends flees, Would that heart still cling close to thee? Who knows—who knows !

He was quite dependent on her, and she made him feel it. When he began to get into debt he came to me, At length some shocking quarrel occurred ; some case of jealousy on the wife’s side, not without reason, I believe, and the end of It was Mr. Fitz Roy was turned out of doors. The house was his wife's, the furniture was his wife's and the for- tune was his wife’'s—he was, in fast, her pensioner, He left witha few hun- dre | pounds ready money and some per- gonal jewelry and went to a hotel. Om these and eredit he lived, Being illegi- timate he had no relations; being a fool, when he spent his money he lost his friends, The world took his wife's part, when they found she had the for- tune, and the only parties who interfer- ed were her relatives, who did their best to make the quarrel incurable. To crown all, one night he was run over by a cab, was carried to a hospital and lay there for months, and was, during several weeks of the tinie unconscious, A mes nge to the wife, by the hands of one of his debauched companions, sent by a humane surgeon, obtained an in- “simation that ‘if he died, Mr. Croik, to see to the funeral,’ and that for the to return Roy was dis continent, When not Fitz sticks, to pawn his court suit, and told fellow, such a handsome, thoroughbred “What to do, Balance,’ [ can’t dig, and or be r g, as “1 lost Westminster, lodging house, where 1 was with an officer for {fe was pointed out to me as because he was so free with his money when ‘in luck.’ recognized me, but turned away have since seen him and re- lieved him more than once, although he low Withou without money 3 perhaps doing a little or hay-making, only happy 16 obtains the means to get drunk. through the Kitchen come to me, wave heard Know entitled if he were to die £1C0 bill 1 told i bundle o he is to some [ expect prop rly, his wife hold; at i would pay the rate, what I have wd tl ii nay I know you IL pauperis. iverpool 1 | beggar’s stance from Balance.
