Looks as if lulled upon an angel's lap "Oh, no," says Mona, gently; "only I should like you better, of course, if you were not the cause of our undoing." "It is so nice here," she says, with a soft sigh, and a dreamy smile, whereupon he too climbs and seats himself beside her. As they are now situated, there is about half a yard between them of passable wall crowned with green sods, across which they can hold sweet converse with the utmost affability. The evening is fine; the heavens promise to be fair; the earth beneath is calm and full of silence as becomes a Sabbath eve; yet, alas!

And now to tell her of her quondam lover's defection is not pleasant. Nevertheless he watches her calmly as he speaks.
