When woman Of sense-let her have beauty
too, land she will, Of some sort, if she be sensi-
Bile and amiable,) gives her heart to man Of estab


lished character, who perhaps has sighed like a
furnace and got over his fever, and been out in
the world 10 struggle for his place and his reputa-
ton: one who has kept his feelings for woman
pure by his chasteness, and not mingling too
much with them, there is a romance acted; but
it is all inside, in the heart. The arrangements
for the wedding are made without futter, and our
gentleman, about the right time, walks with COM
posed and dignified steps towards the house OF
his betrothed, rejoicing like strong man to run
a race. There is no giggling to hide tears, but
some honest laughter; there is no melancholy
faces, for it is contract reason approves. There
is something natural about it. He takes his wife
like man who walks by daylight There is
no glorious uncertainties here this is no love in
a cottage business. The romance, the delight,
we feel in such case is, that a man has had the
force Of character to work his way to deserve
the respect Of a sensible woman, and to put him
self in situation to repay the affection; that he
had subdued his passion to his reason that he is
the oak around which woman, the ivy, may bind
its caressing endrs, and be lifted by it into sun
shine. How can you associate that beautiful idea
OF lrving's with one Of the very romantic, dapper
little matches of the season? Year goes on after
year: still husband and wife are always together,
an union Of heart and mind. No,v it is, That the
world wonders; now they are called 'the romantic
couple -'love each other so'-'nothing like it,
