My room was finished and furnished, and I felt more secure in the "Dove's Nest" than in the hut on the hill. One day, when I was pa- pering the little room, a fit of weakness came over me, not bodily, but mental, of which I was heartily ashamed. I was pasting old copy- books on the openings of the rough slabs with my hands. Splinters ran into my hands, and I became very tired, when a picture rose before my mind. A large drawing-room elegantly furnished, with rich carpet and curtains, mirrors an...d chandeHers, and white and gold paper. This room was but one in a splendid mansion, whose owner had wished me to accept his hand and heart, and share with him his beautiful home. I declined his generous offer, and while I w^as pulling the splinters out of my hands, I sat down on the bare floor, and asked myself, why did I refuse that, to come to this? It was a hard question. I fairly A'ept at the contrast of what was, and what might have been. Again the question came up, why did I refuse the owner of carriages, horses and an elegant home, with the hand of a very worthy gentleman?
