-my wife as a-sister to him,. In (act such aspic

glOwing, with all - that is delightful did the'future
seem in a married state,—that I threw my pa
'per' one way, my pan anoiher, jumped 07 and
prepared fora visit to Maria Bally, ,to whom I
meant, to' offer,
.myself (bat very night,. and, get
married as soon as the laws and the minister
would let es. Having put on a clean dickey . —
it'was a cold night and I was in.a hurry-4
lied forth to visit my intended'. M'aria lived 'at
the north end of town, with her mother, a wi
dow lady .. While on the way to the house, I
will make, the reader 'acquainted 'With-Marie,

not praise her. beauty—although as beautiful a
creature as 'eye ever. rested On—neither .will I
speak of bet amiable' disposition;:her accom.
plisliments, etc.. •'
Maria and.thyselt from childhood•had known
each °that., and were pretty intimate in our
friendship', .and were pretty intimate in Our
age, I . concluded to, take a trip throUgh the
Statesoind as I.'had 'been indisposed;for some
,time .back, With a loss Of appetite, no sleep. etc.
I made tbia my exeuse—l traveled foamy health
When I made this declaration, there was noth

mended it. So I Started, with theinfetition of
being absent.a year or .more.' Traveling, I
'must'say,::agreed wiili me completely; •for at
