an he has here. And we shall miss him from our
home circle. There will be a vacant place at our board. Will you be
happier away, Edwin?"

The last sentence was uttered in a tone of sisterly affection.

"Happier!" exclaimed the young man, thrown off his guard. "Happier!
I shall be wretched while away."

"Then why go?" returned Kate, tenderly.

think we had as well retire with the reader.

The good ship "Leonora" sailed in about ten days. She had a
supercargo on board; but his name was not Edwin Lee.

Fashionable people were greatly surprised when the beautiful Kate
Darlington married her father's clerk; and moustached dandies curled
their lip, but it mattered not to Kate. She had married a man in
whose worth, affection, and manliness of character, she could repose
a rational confidence. If not a fashionable, she was a happy wife.
