and am afraid you will reciprocate the feelings which I once professed for you. Now this is not the case in the least. I love you to day with a deeper, purer love, than I ever did in the world. But I have my affections better disciplined now than I ever had before, and that is the difference you see in me. I once was a boy, but now I am a man, my affections have gatherd strength with lapse of years, and although you may, by your conduct toward me, succede in driving me from you, and thus entomb every blooming hope, but like the forms of dead loved ones, you will linger in my memory, and "in my heart you will live for ever." Now Clara, I want a deffinate answer in your next.
