IIEPHZIDAB.
The Story of an Old-r'ashIonoe Lover.
li iY' i. STNlNEsTEI.
She was an old laid, aud her
nlamo was IOphzibaib.
Iopl'ibab ! The parents who
call be ferocious eiolulgh to 'nfllict
-such a 1a upon their ioffIpring
ought to be spikCeted upon the the
ragged edge of remorse, groundi to
powder it. the mill of Self-.ondetllas

of lheavi~ lel by an oimg WL(e( progeny.

blasts'a life. otur -Iephlzibah haed
over 1ben'U the delight of any male
*ceitture'i eart, there were no traes
left upon her face, to record the
happy effect of having heenl the oh
ject of such an1 elotion. .3nt ap
pearitan(cs are deceptive, you 1 knoW ;
for there was a time V1 iI( U1hzi:ah's
life when the lilies bowed s'veetly at
her approach, and the roses hiur
riedly hid their thoi ns beneath their
trembling foliago, for very shamllo

lent the rapture of hope to her
heart ; the tc ndrils of her being
were budding with vigor and
beauty, warned by the glow of
youth and nursed by the dow of
dawn1'1ing wvomlanhlood. A marer
less depth of love was in her heart,.
but fate had yielded her only the
stingiest half-mleasure in whi'ch to
garner her abundance, so the best
part of it ran to waste, and the rest
-well the rest disappeared somse,
how, and left is a cross old maid

dimplos hadl turned to wrinkles, and
whoso -"beauty spots" had become
