 'There are two hearts whose movements thrill In unison so closely sweet,

 That pulse 10 pulses responsive still,

 They both must heave, cease to beat. There are two souls, whose equal flow

 In gentle streams so calmly run,

 That, when they part,-part-oh, mol

 They cannot part-these souls are one. ''-ByRoN

 WAS now approaching seventeen, wher an important letter arrived from MT. Eltof and NIT. Serape, my two guardians, directed to Dr. Singleton. The substance of this let. ter might have foreseen, but did not at the time expect: and something like tremblc passed over my frame, when my venerable instructor called me into his study to make me the communication 1t contained In a word, l was informed, that these gentlemen were anxious that l should immediately mako choice of one of the so called learned professions, as they had determined on my removal to college before the commencement of the ensuing session.

 To part from Anna Singleton as the exile parts from his native shore--to change tht current of thoughts flowing all so deeply il one channei-to cut asunder the gordar knot. which, never to be united, linked my heart to its only real enjoyments-how could my spirit bear to think of this2 The blow was staggering one to all my deeply cherished ideas of happiness; yet circum- stances, hemming me around, had brought me to a precipce that could not be avoided: and must either fly into open rebellion, ol plunge into the gulf of misery.

 Had youth, almost ignorant of the cir cumstances in which he had been Jeff, tolt his friends that he had resolved to pass through life an idler, he might have incur. red the imputation of lunacy, without mucl blame on their parts; what then was l to do The communication of my decision was re- qured in fortnight; and my irresolutior may be easily conceived, as had never seri ously turned my mind 10 the subject,

 Dr. Singleton, observing my confusion brought me, with much friendly earnestness to consider seriously the request of my guar dians, which, he assured me, appeared to hin to be dictated solely by a sincere regard fo my welfare The letter containing the re quistion was addressed to my preceptor, no to mvsell--a circumstance which can now ! readily explain from the known deierenci which they must have observed me pay t' all the opinions of Dr. Singleton, but which at the time, I regarded as little better than mark of disrespect and insult. "Am sucl simpleton,'' thought l, ''as to be considered incapable of taking by myself a step whicl must be resolved on by the very meanest an most abiect of mankind; and on the verge Q manhood am l not able to walk hnt iu lead ing-strings? And my answer is to be con veved also through Dr. Singleton' Why, thought l, .'should they not hear my deter minalion from my own lipss They Urea me as boy, yet call on me to act the pal of man''
