"How long will this last I—What will occur to disturb the happiness which is now vouchsafed ?'

That was a spring of disappointment, es remember, a frost destroyed the early ve getation, entirely ruined Ow blip;sont,: uu the tree at which she had bgeit tool:Mg. No fruit was borne. It was I apprehend, my own infirmity that led me to think more• of the changes which night come across the path of the newly married person, than anything- in her condition ; for thotig-h I sub i staptentiv saw where iho danger lurked, yet then it was with me the only foreshadowin , of a son e •- what morbid sensibi:ity, contrived to antici pate enough to make the present litt - any with apprehensions of the future. So I watched.

I watched this' case, fur the first ex clamation which I have rocorded of this young woman had touched a chord of melancholy in my disposition. and so I was anxious to see, how long it would last;' how long the peace, joy, and doarestic f•rli city would continue.

I confess that I was disappointed at this, having anticipated that the litter of dogs would have disturbed the equanimity•of the wile, and t h u; have provoked reprisals from the husbuid.
