On account of the distano that intervened, it was impossible to distinguis , the person It was singular—who was her— what did he want there? "Who can it be?" maid Julia, leaning on the arm of her husband as they approached the house. "Indeed, loveiJ cannot conjecture," was his affectionate reply, assisting her up the steps as he spoke, for they were now at the door. They entered the house , and shortly afterwards retired fur the night. Before asleep, they heard the strings of a guitar touched, and immediately be. ueath their window, a manly voice deep-toned, and apparently sorrowful, sung the words of a popular sentimental song. This of course serv ed to increase the wonder of Julia and her hus band. It was strange—it was mysterious. On the following morning, Mr West inquired of the domestics if any of them knew the person. Each answered in the negative; none knew him; they had beard the mule, and been his person, but nothing more. Theodore was of necessity absent during the day—in the city attending to his business. On return home tk next evening, his wife in formed him that gentleman of handsome exte rior had been noticed on the premises by the ser vants and herself, but was not near enough for her to see his features with any accuracy Tea wit. announced, and they sat down to the even ing weal; afterwards to the piano—and in the mutual ende-trments of domestic happiness, they entirely forgot the incident. To be sure, there is as nothing alarming—nothing to be apprehend ed; but it was singular that a man should be loi tering about. Rising from the piano, the happy couple left the parlor and retired to the privacy of their own chamber; where, walking out upon the balcony in front, they seated themselves to pas the social hour of love and contemplation. 'f he moon, the stars, the shining river, and the dii-tant view, were mingled on the sight, whiL.t tio hum and the noise of busy thousands .L.,•lllCli the ear The city itself was seen by tkeio, as the tn,,oulight lay sleeping upon its roof., it. , domes, tts steeples, and its towers.— The balcony extended from a level with their chamber, and arouud the pillars that supported the flowery creeper entwined its delicate foli- r,,e, the jasmine, and the violet, too, A paradise—the very place for !BE ' Theodore sat half-seated, half-reclining, awl Julia reposed with her head upon his bosom —his arms encircling her—and oft the long, the lingering kiss—so deep — so pure—which only those that really love can really appreciate.— Heaven had smiled upon their union.
