figure of a man, who immediately darted into tl
clustering fottage of some shrubbery at his ail

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

her to see his features with any accuracy Tea

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.

that we are making ourselses dangerous to those
