The parlies were Worthy ofoach other, and iho love which, was daily uniting them almost into tine being, was eminently refined and pure.

Her father wur absent from home bn some charitable errand, while her mother and a boanlry coUsihi who Was making her a winter visit, Were spending the evening with it neighboring fami ly. And it so happened, 100, that Mary's lover was nbsent from the oily* so the beautiful damsel was nlnno. Yes, she was indeed alone, but far from be ing in u lonely irtoodifur her thoughts were with her lover, and she amUneti hefccif by dwelling upoH the treasures of her nowly-dtaCovcrcd Ideal World. .
