The world may say what it will to the con
trary, I contend that love is the master of life. It is the exciting cause of all our action?.! whether for good or evil, whether in the agi-' tating career of ambition or in the cares of life. We feel it gradually creeping into our hearts in childhood; we are sensible that it
fills our whole soul in manhood; and we know that it continues its gentle influence, during the remainder of our existence. The mellow-

It so happened that 1 saw Miss Fielding the very day that I despatched the letter and I was electrified by her surprising loveliness, and although taken by surprise, I felt at once
that Iwas a lost man. My heart fluttered like
a bird just caught, and it was with the greatest difficulty, that I conld prevent my companions from seeing the agitation I was in. Could I divine that she was to take immediate possession of my whole soul that I was to have no thought independent of her image? it was too
true. I saw her accidentally at a riding school, having sauntered in one morning with a young man whose sister was learning to ride by the way, he intended this sister for me, I could
see it in all his manouivers. Miss Fielding would have been singled of a thousand, for
her beauty, grace and dignity, and she never lost Ihe aecollection that she was in public. I
examined her, at first critically, but I could
discover no fault, and I thought Woodley's
praise lell Tar short ol the truth. Her eyes were large, of a deep blue, and beautifully set. the very eyes to love, and to be loved, full
of in telligence, modesty and dignity, and yet
there Whs now and then, a glance or two which
indicated haughtiness, a sort of S'oli me tansrfi e look, which kept off all those who were
disposed to approach her, from the sweetness of its general appeaaance. Her nose and mouth were exquisitely formed, and I never before understood what was meant by a noble brow. In short, she was the most perfect creature my eyes ever beheld.
her figure, air, and manner all corresponded all was in harmony. The fashion then was to wear very short dresses, and of course, feet and ankles were as much seen as face and hands, but Miss Fielding made no display, although by mere accident, I saw the prettiest shaped foot in the world. Thank Heaven? I ' did not see her ankles. As to her hand it was
There was nothingstudied either in what she said or did, but every moment was bewitching.

of good standing; he was clear hearted method
ical and quiet in his ways, without a particle of romance in his composition. He loved order, and in every thing that related to his comfort and convenience, or to the respectability of the house, he was scrupulously exacting and imperative, if affairs did not go on with perfect regularity, he quietly attended to them himself. But Sophia knew all this before her tnarriase: it did not break upon her suddenly. On
the contrary, it' was often the theme of
conversation. They had ample time to discuss it, and to get accustomed to each other's ways, for it was an engagement of three years.
Mr. Woodley being too poor to marry. The moment I was of age, I gave him the agency of my estates; and this, with a rising practice, enabled him to make Sophia comfortable. But money produced no alteration in their temperaments or habits. I heard the same good humore-t promises of amendment from her, as before their marriage. I was glad to perceive, however, that Sophia was more in the habit of accommodating herself to her husband's orderly ways, and consulting his tastes and that she did not fret or excuse herself,
when he complained of her maltention or
carelessness. "Walter," said Mr. Woodley to me, "you must certainly begin to think of marrying. A man of your wealth makes but a poor figure in the world by himself. I want to see you at the head of a family." "What," said I, "you think I shall then be better off than I am now you, that are drink-
ing a cup of coffee that does not suit you, because your wife forgot to order hot water on the table to weaken it - and no boiled milk as a substisute? it has been so three mornings in succession." 'Because I happen to have a thoughtless wife," said he, smiling good naturedly at So-

"Issho good tempered?"' "Do no stare at her so, man. There now, you have done for yourself, she has beckoned to her friends and they are all moving off. I wish you had kept your eyes to yourself." I hunied out, just in time to see her get in the carriage, and when the door closed, it seemed that sunshine and happiness had left me forever. I felt eiiousrh to convince me
that this was not to be old Caesar's short hand j way of managing things, but a regular, steep up hill struggle, with scarcely a foothoid or a
bramble to keep me up. There was I knew and felt it, I saw it in long perspective uncertainty, perplexity, a tedious pilgrimage, and perhaps I would not be allowed to worship at the shrine after all.

have appeared to a looker on, so forced myself to laugh and talk of other matters, and finally "succeeded in gathering up my stray thoughts. "Pray, Headley," seid , ' do you know Miss Fanny Fielding, this peerless lady's cousin! what kind of a girl is she?" The young man fairly shouted out. "What," said he, "do you think there is no chance with ihe rich cousin, that you enquire so earnestly about the poor one! ndeed, you will have no difficulty there. Fanny Fielding will snap at you in a moment. As to beauty yes she may be called pretty, and her complexion is
certainly fine, at times, too, her eyes resemble those of her gifted cousin, but you cannot hope to see two such magnificent looking creatures in one family." "No, do knot suppose it possible," said . "but still Fanny may be handsome." "Well, some people do call her handsome, but do not. She belongs to all the begging

spoken so warmly, but Ileadley's account of
her, really astonished me; for, neither James

Headley represented. Of course, no one will
