She came in Spring, when leaves were green. And birds sang hiithc in Iiowcr and tree,
A stranger, but hcr gcnllc mien Il was a calm delight lo sec.
In every molion grace was hers ;
On every feature sweetness dwell -, Thoughts soon liccamc her worshippers—
AlTections soon liefore hcr knelt.
She hloom'd through all thc summcr Jays.
As sweetly as thc fairest flowers, Anil lill Octolior's softening haze,
Came with its slill and dreamy hours.
So calm Ihe current of hcr life,
So lovely ani serene its flow, Wc hardly mark'd tho deailly strife
Disease forever kcpl hclow.
But Autumn winds grew wild and chill, .\nd pierced hcr with thoir icy breath;
And when tho snow on plain and hill Lay white, she passed, and slept in death.
Tones only of immortal hirth Our memory of her voice can stir:
With things too beautiful for earth A lone do wc remember hcr.
She camo in Spring, whon leaves were gicen. And birds sang Milho in Iiowcr anil tree,
And flowers sprang up and bloomed hclwccn IjOW branches and thc quickening Ica.
Thc greenness of ihe leaf is gone. The beauly of Ihe flower is riven,
Tho birds to olhcr climes have flown, And there's an angel more in Heaven.

Thc ensuing narrative, in which I give the sub¬ stance of what I hoard related, deserves to bc re¬ corded as a raro example of disinterested lovo and chivalrous generosity, in onc of a pcople, vvhom, in our youthful days, wc wero taught'to look upon more in the light of savage beasts dian rational be¬ ings, endowed, liko ourselves, wilh the image and feelings of humanity. >

Hc then asked Miss Liiiie the following question : "Miss Liiiie, arc you wiijing lo get married 1"— "Perfectly willing," she answered.
