May the hotsun kindle no fever in your hearts! May your whole life's pilgrimage beas blissful as this first day's journey, and its close be gladdened witheven brighter anticipations than those which hallow your bridal night! They pass; and ere the reflection of their joy has faded from his face, another spectacle throws a melancholy shadow over the spirit of theobserving man. In a close carriage sits a fragile figure, muffledcarefully, and shrinking even from the mild breath of summer. She lean...sagainst a manly form, and his arm infolds her, as if to guard histreasure from some enemy. Let but a few weeks pass, and when he shallstrive to embrace that loved one, he will press only desolation to hisheart! And now has morning gathered up her dewy pearls, and fled away. The sunrolls blazing through the sky, and cannot find a cloud to cool his facewith. The horses toil sluggishly along the bridge, and heave theirglistening sides in short quick pantings, when the reins are tightened atthe toll-house.
