There were no words at his command strong enough to express his affection for the bride, or, if he might say so as a Christian man, his envy of the bridegi'oom. On the other hand, for such a bride, there was none fitter than such a bride- groom. This young Achilles, having obtained fi'om the gods a better fate than the hero to whom he likened him, had returned victorious from the wars, and won the fairest prize. They all knew Leonard Copleston's history, how the young gentleman, the son of a lo...ng line of gallant gentlemen, met adverse fortune with a resolute front, and conquered her, not with a sword, but with a bayonet ; what they did not know, perhaps, was what he could tell them, as Leonard's tutor, that he had always as a boy looked on the gallant soldier as the noblest type of manhood. " We all, " said Mr. Broughton, " envy the man who fights ; even the most popular priest is the priest militant : the glory of a poet or a painter is pale compared with the glory of a general ; let us wish for Leonard Copleston a long career of honour and distinction, and for them both, my friends, for Leonard and Celia Copleston, let us wish that their love may endure beyond the brief moon of passion, and grow in depth as the years run on ; that in fact, liko the finest port, age may only develop its colour, bring out its bouquet, and mature its character.
