At seventeen years of age I was more
of a man than I have ever been since.
I wore a long tail coat and boots, (to
•which the appurtenance of spurs was
generally added) a moustache was quite
visible on my upper lip, and a conscious
’ of
ness ripe maturity never left my
fttfnd. I was studying for the legal
profession, but at the time of which I
write, wus spending my summer vaca¬
tion at my father’s house in the country.
Though so manly, almost soldier like
as I fancied, in my appearance, my in¬
ner was by ncr menus as stein us my
outer man. I loved my mother with a
childish tenderness, and sooner than
pain her pious heart, I unmurniuriugiy
accompanied her every Sunday to the
village church, to listen to long sermons
of whioh I could not hear a word, far
the tremulous accents of the vciy aged
minister, who conducted the services,

duty we sat. Though incited by love and
to subject myself % this weekly

sins) my conscience yet did not prevent

Another year elapsed ere I returnee
home, and again sat in the little village
church. My personal appearance was,
foeanwhilo, somewhat altered. .1 |(UI
wore my moustache, it is true, but .i.y
coat tails were not, nor did not soem so
long, and / had left off my spurs,
s My mother and I were early seated
in our pew and I impatiently awaited
the arrival of my lovely,enigma. I tried
to prepare myself for disappointment.
l I have been thinking and dreaming
nbont ah ideal,’ I said to myself—doubt
less when the young lady herself ap
pears all my fine imaginings will vanish;
there can be no doubt my fancy has
been playing tricks with me, investing
a mere country maiden with transcen¬
dent graces and charms.’ While l was
reasoning thus with myself, the young
lady appeared leading her old relative
with tender care.
Worshipping an ideal, indeed! my
most chariniug rememberance did not
begin to do justice to the beautiful reali
ty. A A soul ^ If full II of f. tenderness 1 and J sensi- •

received, us a matter of course, num

not even oiler. I hated this man ; I

the last evening of my
