About two years ago, young gentleman
of this city, who, indeed, professed pas
sionate fondness for the company of ladies',
might have been seen vending his way
nightly toward the West End, highly ela,ed
with the Joy in anticipation upon meeting
the lady of his love, and to minge his
smiles with hers, and join in the merry
laughter of the gay and giddy circle. Pass

he earnestly set about TO gain the confidence
Of the amiable girl. This he thought Sc
cured. Lizzy was the embodi-
ment of nature with the outward adornings
of woman. Blest as she was, by symmetry
of her form, and loveliness Of visage, yet she
had within heart of true deception. Fond
of lucid imagery, never prone to court the
favor of another To slight the one who was
her admirer, but ever and anon kept him in
leading strings to herself, she easily enticed
him to believe that him only she loved.
Her disposition was one contrary to that Of
most females; never easily excited, but of
amiable temperament. Time flew on. Hen
ry, for such was one of the names of her
manly suitor, still kept up his devotion.
The more frequent became his visits, the
more he became enamored with the more
than earthly charms Of Lizzy. He proposed
marriage, but to bis surprise, she refused

gained the laurel for his brow, became the
man of her choice, married, and reduced
below what she formerly was TO state OF
almost penury and want, and Henry left to
mourn at having got " The Miten. " ID

he determined not to be discouraged, butt
set about his task afresh Ever lofty IN
his aspirations, generous and noble loera''
o;Ged and talented, with heart swelling
with lofty designs and manly enter

medicine. Accordingly, he was educated
for the profession, sought and gained the
od,r,ratiop of his fellow students and his
nrecentor in the languages, and by him de-

worthy was snatched by the hand of death,
which event caused him to bid farewell to
anne and to all his hopes ofhigh life. Dur
