stand no such union, and tesolutely opposed
it, and the daughter dare not disubey that

him by moonlight,' she'preteiided never to see
him and she pined and wasted in spile of her
self. She was really in love a stale of sighs

on her damask cheek, however; but when
her father asked her why she pined, she al
ways told him. The old gentleman' wa
widower, and loved his girl dearly ;-and at
