group--the owners of the two plantations--with their young wives, Marian
and Lilian. The sisters are still in the fall bloom of their
incomparable beauty. In neither is the maiden yet subdued into the
matron--though each beholds her own type reflected in more than one

sweetly in her ear that word of fond endearment--the first that falls
from human lips. Ah! beloved Lilian! thine is not a beauty born to
blush but for an hour. In my eyes, it can never fade; but, like the
blossom of the citron, seems only the fairer, by the side of its own
fruit! I leave it to other lips to symbol the praises of thy sister--
