Miss Magoik-:
I must confess that your letter of
28th of Febrtipiy, was a surprise to
me. I can't sec tho consistency of
your conduct, nor can I reconcile the
tono of your letters with your profes
sions to me. It is true that I have
been enjoying myself up here with the
ladies, and that my feelings have un
dergone a change since I saw you Wat,
but I deny representing myself as hav
itig been relieved from my engage
ment with you. I full)' intended to
comply with my part of the contract,
and when the time came, to consum
mate it by marrying you. But now
that you have voluntarily set mo at
liberty, I take this occasion to thank
you for your kindness.
I can forgive your ungenerous allu
sions to mc and my clmrac'cr, and
hope that the future will discove?* to
you some one who may be free of'?im
perfection*."
Respect fully,

There is nothing remarkable in the
above letters except the coolness 'dis
played by "Maggie" iu abusing hor
late lover. He had grown sick
perhaps of her insipid and supercilious
manners, and very properly conclu
ded to give her a chancj tonc?uee him
with a want of sincerity. Thrs^ sho
did to Roberta satisfaction, and more,
voluntarily set him at liberty. But pcd
the turn she takes on him. As soon
as she heard that he was dead in love
with her "dear friend Annie," she ad
dressed that unsuspecting creaturo a
letter replete with hidden malignity;
yet seemingly full o'f good advice,
Maggie'knew when she was writing
to Annie that her old sweetheart was
crazy to marry her, but with truo wo
man shrewdness she affected ignorance
