"Take care, that's a dear!" and then, as the object of her solicitude disappears among the trees, she draws a long sigh; a mutter is heard--"some accident" are the only words distinguishable; a bang of the door follows, and the affectionate nurse is--what ?--probably wiping her eyes in the passage.
Here are two systems which may be said to vary a little, and might require my consideration, were it not that I have no daughters, partly owing, doubtless, to the primary deficiency of a wife.

May no cloud ever shade the happiness of its worthy inmates! As we drive on, I may as well tell you that Canandaigua is a beautiful little village, situated on a slope descending towards a lake of the same name, and therefore commanding a lovely view--for when is a sheet of water not lovely?
There are some very pretty little villas in the upper part of the village, which is a long broad street, with trees on either side, and is peopled by a cozy little community of about four thousand.
