She has the merriest, yet gentlest little laugh one can imagine. I long to know who it is that has been so fortunate as to touch her heart! MARCH.-I know now, and glad I am!

"All very well to say so know better sly puss will wear dress people say, pretty Quaker and so on." Susannah hastily left the room after this attack, and I told them what had passed.
