"She would have the young man—she set her heart upon him—and I have yielded. I suppose you are now sorry that she is gone; and yet I dare swear you thought me a brutal tyrant for separating the love sick pair a few weeks ago."

al bond was to be indissolubly tied. And to that church did the party proceed,—the father, who looked upon his daughters as the means of filling his purse,—the daughters, who knew not the utter selfishness of their sire,—the young man, who was so indescribably happy in at length accompanying to the altar her whom he loved so well,—and the guests, who thought as much of the excellent breakfast which followed as of the solemn ceremony itself. The banquet passed—and the time came for the departure of the newly married couple. A post chaise drove up to the door—the trunks were hastily conveyed to the vehicle—and Adelais was torn away from the arms of her young sister Rosamond, who clung frantically to her. An hour afterwards, the guests were gone—and Rosamond remained alone with her father. "God grant that my dearest sister may be happy!" said the maiden, her voice almost completely lost in sobs. "If she is not, it will be her own fault," observed Mr. Torrens harshly, as he paced the room.
