"The boy had fewer summers-but his heart
Had far outgrown his years, and in his mind,
There was but one beloved face on earth,
And that was gazing on him."

Ir had been a sultry morning, and dark masses of clouds collecting suddenly over the heavens, foretold the approach of one of those terrific thunder-storms which so often close a serene summer day. The deep blue sky disappeared by degrees, till scarcely one spot remained to relieve the heavy gloom. The firmament seemed to resemble the ocean in its wrath; heavy piles of vapor rolling over each other like waves, charged with electric fire. The change affected all around. The birds flew to the sheltering groves, the kingly eagle alone resisting the storm, and soaring fearlessly above the dark canopy. The tender flowers drooped their heads as the gale passed over them, and the mighty oaks frowned defiance to the threats of the tempest. Chains of sulphurous flame ran like veins through the gathering waves on high, and descended to mingle with those of the dark waters beneath. The forest trees groaned in fear, and surrendered many a green branch to the tempest's fury. A graceful willow bent its pliant arms over the casement of a building, near which sat two persons gazing upon the rising storm with equal, yet varied interest.

The first, and most interesting figure, was that of a lady apparently about twenty-three years of age. Her arm leaned upon the casement, her head supported by her hand. Her features, or rather the expression of those features, it would be difficult to describe, as they varied as quickly as the shadowy clouds upon which she gazed; but soul, intellect, feeling, were painted there, and the light of enthusiasm seemed checked, but not extinguished.

There was another figure. It was that of a youth scarce twenty. Beauty, uncommon beauty, no one could deny to be his. His eyes were of that dark, deep, melancholy blue whose glances speak to the heart. His high and nobly turned forehead, and finely shaped head, would have furnished a model for a Spurzheim or a Gall. He soon ceased regarding the storm without, for his eyes were fixed intently upon the face of the lady at his side.

Turn we to the interior of the apartment, where art and luxury had lavished their brightest gifts. It was of narrow dimensions, though not so petite as the boudoir of a French lady; for these useless appendages to a comfortable snug home were not patronized in the days of our puritan and precise forefathers. But every article of fur
