me, or is the opinion and imaginary drwid of

as she sunk on the sofa beside her. 'Did,
yoo not promise me to stay assy ftom here,
for some time ? You appear to 'have no re- j
gard for my reputation you cannot have?' j
'What, because I make ocall upon you atan

pie! And even if you arc alone, what is
there remarkable in my being here? 1, who 1

There was out famtlv with whom, from
infancy, Mary had been intimately assoc rated
Their eldest sou was in the army, bout the
same age as our heroine. '
Charles Lawrence was a noble bring,
richly endowed by nature in heart, in mind,
and in fofftt'ullftrdjiii wood by his
sensitive orgWREffrioft, IrrirJ hatrtalfy romantic
turn of mind, reserved and proud, but where
he loved, unbounded in his confidence. He
was thought cold by some, selfish by others,
when in reality it was indifference to the good
ot ill opinion of those he cared not for.
From chilhood Mnry and himself had
been, fiom their similarity of teste and feel
ing, strongly united, in consequence of
Charles going to complete bit education at a
military college, prior to his entering the ar
my, the attachment, however, that had sub
sisted between . tbenv had hitherto b-en that
calm and pure feeling which exist in enrly
youth, before passion, with itt desolating
power, coten the heart j and when Marv
wrote to apprise him of her ma mag, though
a feeling of regret arose that she should be
long , to .another, stilt his answer to her letter
contained wishes foi her happiness, at ferv
ent and sincere as ever came from the heart.
... When hereto rned to England, upon his
first leave of absence, Mary had been purpose
ly invited to join the family circle. When
she entered the room, and noiselessly walk
ed towards the happy party, the stood in utter
astonishment at the total change, iq manners
and appearance, oi ber former playmate. He
was now a gay, dashing looking man,' with

, generally produces ; and as ho turned
1 gazed at her, ber eyes fell beneath the
of ardent ad nutation bestowed u poo lie , and
she Olufiheu u the extended her hand to
wards him.
He was bo less struck by thechenge a few
years had produced in her. Her form was
more slight, and even girlish, than before
ber marriage ; her complexion at clear and
lovely j but her eye were rio longer the
same ; tha targe, clear, bine 01 b, that former
