"Now for the story, Auntie," said Herbert, seating himself on the grass, beside her. "Do you remember the name of the nymph I am going to tell you about?" "Yes, it was-it was Echo." "Very good.

Not only he, but the world will know that he is capable of better things. What has occurred will awaken inquiry, and may soon secure him good business offers.

Your draper's assistant becomes something of a judge of weeping, because weeping is the custom of all Young Ladies in Business, when for any reason their services are dispensed with.

And is not the regent perpetually reverting in her despatches to the fact that nothing but the want of a suitable military force has hitherto hindered her from enforcing the edicts, and stopping the progress of the rebels?
The stars shone brightly in the sky, and the thoughts of the lonely wanderer were irresistibly carried to that home beyond the stars, and to that God whom his father had so affectingly entreated him not to forget.
