(Continued from our last.)
The reader will remember that we took leave
of George Baldwin, the mo nent after he took
leave of Miss Smith. Though it was nearly
twelve o’clock at night when he reached his
office, he could not sleep until he laid the ad
ventures of the evening before his fathci and
mother. The return mad brought him a letter I
from his parents, written by his mother’s hand,
which we regret we cannot give a place in this
narrative. Suffice it to say, it was kind and
affectionate, but entirely too cold for the tem
perature of George’s feelings. It admitted
the intrinsic excellence of Miss Smith’s views
and sentiments, but expressed serious appre
hensions that her habits of life would prove an
insuperable barrier to her ever putting them in
full practice. “We ail admit, my dear George” ~
said the amiable writer, “the vain * of industry, >
economy—in short, of all the domestic and so- j
ciul virtues; but how small the number who ,
practice them! Golden sentiments are to be ,
picked up any where. In this age they are
upon tl e lips of every body, but we do tint find
that they exert as great an influence upon the
morals of society, as they di I in the infancy of
out republic, when they were less talked of.
For ourselves, wo confess we prize the gentle
man or lady who Habitually practices one ehris
t iin virtue, much higher than we do the one
who barely lectures eloquently upon them all.
But we are not so weak or so unchartable as to
suppose, fliat none who discourse fluently upon
them, can possess them." *
“The whole moral winch we would ucducc
from the foregoing remarks, is, one which your
own observation must have taught you a thou
sand times; that but little confidence is to be
reposed in fine sentiments which do not come
recommended by the Lie and conduct of the
person who retails them. And yet familiar as
• you are with this truth, you certainly have more
command over your judgment, than have most
of young men of your age, it you do not en
tirely forget it the moment you hetir such sen •
timents from the lips ot “<t lady possessing
strong personal attractions.' I here is a charm
in beauty which even philo ’pliy is constrained
to acknowledge, and which youth instinctively
transfers to all the moral qualities of its posses
sor.”
“When you come to know the elements ol
which l.tippm ’.ss is compo- >d, you uni I as
tonished to find, that with few exceptions they
are things whteh you now consider lhe veriest
trifles imaginable. It is a happx mdina'iou of
Providence, that it should be so; for this bungs
matrimonial bliss within the reach ol all classes
of persons.” * *
“Harmony ot thought an I feeling upon the
little daily occurrences of life, congeniality id'
views and sentiments, In tween vonrs. lv< s and
your connexions on either side, similarity ot
habits and pursuits among your immediate r< 1-
atives and friends, it not essential to nuptial
bliss, arc certainly its chu f ingredient.-."
‘‘Having pointed you to the sources ot con
jugal felicity, vour owe ju Ig n nt will spire n.y
trembling hand the painful duty of pointing you
to those fountains of bitt rness and w o—but I
forget lam representingyour lather a- well a
myself.”
• George read the long letter from which ta
foregoing < xtracts are taken, with det ( > inter
cst, and with some alarm; but he was not in
a situation t > profit by Ins parents’ counsel-.
He had visited Miss Smith repeatedly in t <
tune he w is wailing to hear from Ins pirents;
and though hehad discovered many little foiMes
in her character, he found a ready apology, or
mi easy remedy for t!rc n all.
The lapse ot a tew ruuuths found them en
gaged; and George, the happiest mortal on
earth.
“And now, my dear Evelina,” said he, as
soon as they had inter .hang • I th nr vow -, “I
go to render m> s II w ithy < ’ the honor you
have contorted upon me. My <tud;e-, which
love, doubt and anxiety have 100 long inter rup
♦ d. shall now be renewed with red >ub!cd in-

tensity. My Evelina’s interest being associa
ted with all my labors, w ill turn them to pleas
ures; my honor, being hers, I shall court it with
untiring zeal. She will, therefore, excuse me,
if my visits are not repeated in future quite as
often as they have been heretofore,”
“What a’ ready, Mr. Baldwin!” exclaimed
she weeping most beautifully.
“Why no, not for the world, it my dear Eve
lina says not! But I thought tiiat—l flattered
myseb—l hoped—my Evelina would find a
sufficient apology in the motive.”
Tire little mistake was rectifi d in the course
of an hour, and they parted more in raptures
with each other than they had ever been.
George continued his visits as before, and in
the mean time his Business begun t.rsuftcr ir<mj
of which his clients occasionally re
minded him, with all the frankness which one
exhibits at seeing a love affair earned on witii
too much zeal, and at his expense. In truth,
George’s heart had more than once entertained
a wi-h (for his lips dare net utter it) that his
changing i velina’s affection could come down
to a hundred ol Wedgewood, when the circuit
commented, and gave him a tempory respite.
The < veiling before he set out, tie spent with
his “charming Evelina,” of course, and the in
terview closed witii a most melting scene; out
I may not stop to describe it. Candor con
strains me to say, however, that George got
over it befor he reached his office, which he
entered actu div whistling a ine.ry tune.
He was at the second Court of the circuit,
and had been from home neaily a fortnight,
when one of his friends addressed him with -
“i’ll tell you what it is Baldwin, you’d better
go home, or Dr Bibb will cut you out. Theie
have been two or tli ee parties in town since
you come away, at. all of which Miss Smith and
Bibb were as tlii< kas two pick-pockets. The
whole town's talking about them. I heard a
young lady say to tier, she’d tell you how she
was carrying on with Bibb, and she declared
upon her word and honor, (looking ktllnijeriously
at Bibb,) that she knew you only as her father’s
collecting attorney.”
George reddened deeper and deeper at very
w ord of this; but passed it off’ w ith a hearty
hectic laugh.
It was on Thursday afternoon that he receiv
ed this intelligence, and it met him flirty mil s
from home, and twenty-live from the n xt court
in order. Two ol his cases were yet undispo
sed of. Os these, he gave hasty notes to one
of his brethren, in order to guide him it he
should be forced to trial, but instructing him to
continue them it he could. I laving made
these arrangements, Friday afternoon at five
o’clock f'Und his jaded horse at his < ffi< c door.
George tarried here no longer than was ueces
sarv to change his uppprol, and th< n tie hasten
ed to the habitation of his “charming Evelina.”
He was received at the door by a servant,
who escorted him to the drawing room, and
who, to heighten Evelina’s joy by surprise, n
structed her maid to tell her, that there was a
■‘cntleman in the dra ring room who wished to j
see her.
Minute after minute rolled away, and she did
not make her appearance. After he had been
kept m suspense tor nearly a quarter of an hour,
she entered the room dressed in biidal richness
and taste
“\V hy, is it you!’’ said she, rushing to him in
transports: “I thought it was Dr. Bibb,
“And who is Dr. Bibb, Evelina?’’ said
(«rorge.
i “He’s a vonng pl>\sician, with whom 1 had
a partial acquaint.mce in I’hdadelphi i, and who
Las just s' tth d himself in this place. I want
y ou to get acquainted m ith him, for he is one ol
lhe most inlere-ting young gentleman I evei
knew in my life."
“No doubt I should be much pleased with
him; but do you think he would feel himself

Evelina burst into tears as usual; but there
being a little pas-ion mingled with her tears
on this occasion, her weeping was not quit, a
mtere.-lmg as it had been bcfori© It sub hied

ihese, and a thousand little annoyances
which we may not enumerate, urged upon
i George the importance of hastening the nuptials
! as speedily as possible.
Accordingly, by all the dangers, ills, alarms,
and anxieties, which attend the hours of en
gagement, h i pressed her to name the happy
day within lhe coming month, when their h.iarts
and their destinies should b< insuperably uni
ted.
But “she could not think of getting married
for two years yet to come—men, one year at
least. At all events, she ■ ould not appoint a
day until she consulted her d> ar Morgiana Cor
nelia Marsh of Canaan, A ermont. Morgiana
was her classmate, and at parting in Pnifa cl
pbia, they had inleichau-er 1 thot which
ever got married first, should be waited upon
by the other.”
In vam did George endeavor to pcrsuaJe her
that this was a school girl ph* ige, which Mor
giana had already forgott n, and which she
never w’omd ftdlil. liis arguments onK' pro
voked a reproof of his unjust suspicions; of the
“American fair.”
I inding his arguments here unavailing, he
then entreated hi- “charming Evelina” ts wiite
immediate] to Miss Marsh, to kn ov when it
would be agreeable to he* to fulfil her promise.
Weeks rolled awa> bi lore Miss Smit!' < ould
be pr< vailed upon even to write lhe- all impor

and George be. an to entertain h ( pes that a

own
In the mean time his Business fell in arrears,
Lis < lients complained I aidlv a ainst him. He
was incessantly tortured with false minors, of
his coldness and inddf renee towards Miss
Smith, and of the light and disrespectful re
marks which he had in »<i< upon her; but he
was much more tortured Bv her unabat 'd thirst
for balls and parties of pie i.-irc, lierundiminish
ed love of general adumatim, an I the unc.on-,
cealed en< omagemet which she gave to the
attentions of Dr. Bibb, lhe effect which these
things had upon his temper was visible to all
his friends He became f’etful, petident, im- '
patient and nelancholy. Dr. Bib < prov d in
truth to be a most accomplished intelligent
gentleman; and was the man who, above all
- thers, George would have select' d tor his
friend and companion, had riot the impru ern es
ol Evi lina transformed him into a rival. As
things were, howev- r, his accomplishments
only embittered George’s feelings to arils him,
provoked from George, ( 'lie 1 , misplaced and
unnatural sarcasms, which the w<ald jla e to
the a< count of jealousy, abd in which <»eorge’s
conscience forced im to admit that tin world I
di him nothing more nor less than sheer jus- !
tice.
Ai length Miss Moigiana’s Irttcr arrived.
It opened with expressions of deep contrition
that the writer “should have got married with
otr giving her beloved Ev lina an opportunity
of fulfilling her promise; but really, after all,
; she was not to blame; for she did propose to
I write to hei beloved Evelina to conn- on to
j ( anaan; but Papa and Mr Huntington (her
! hushand) would not hear to it -m eed they
both got almost vexed that she should think ot
such a thing.” * *
“But as soon as my beloved Evelina gets
married, she must appoint a time at which we
l can meet in Philadelphia with our husbands,
i and compare notes.”
1 “I have a thousand secrets to tell you a’.mut
married life; but I must reserve them till we
im ct. A thousand kisses to your dear George
’ for me; and tell him if I wi re not a married
woman I should certainly fall in love with him,
j from your description of him.”
“Well, I declare,” sai i Evelina, as she fold
ed up the letter, “1 could not have b lieved that
Morgiana rvould have serv dme so. I w.add
have died before I would have treated her in
the same way.’’
The great obstacle being now r moved, t l e
wedning night was fixed at the shortest time
that it could be, to allow the necessan prepara
tions; which was just three months ah< ad.
Before these three months rolled awax,
George bc- arne convinced that he Had staked
his caitiffv happiness, upon the forlorn hope of
reforming Miss Smith’s erro s alter marriage;
but his sense "t honor was too refined, io pet
it turn to hariior a thought of hr akiog t h
