In the silence of a forest, the gloom of a deep ravine, resides a living mystery, indefinite, but redoubtable.

I am unlucky! bankrupts are my bane." "Every flower has its peculiar blight!" said Esther quietly. "Mine is like Cleopatra's an asp." "Who am I?" echoed Peyrade from the door. "You will know ere long; for if I die, I will rise from my grave to clutch your feet every night!"
By an appointment of Providence, woman is so constituted as to find her bane, or her blessing, pre-eminently in the interests of her heart. Her natural ardor, and strength of feeling, prompt her to place her affections on some object, with concentration and intensity.
