On leaving school, Sophia spent a few months with a friend in Philadelphia. I cannot aay that hor visit caused any "groat commotion," in right-anglcdoom. She waa "beautiful, exceedlmrlv." but hor waa not tbe style of loveliness to create a mror. She waa very like one' summer aream or aweeineaa ana gentle ness, yet few people beside poet, think of falling in lova with a dream; and then ho waa not an heiress. At last, aa the Germans would aay, she met ber destiny. Wishing to have ber miniature taken, a young artist, of con. aldorable promiso, waa selected by her friend. She found him quite one's idea of a true votary of the divine art; hi lightest word, the t00 of bie voice, fiowlng an ardent, earnest, enthualartio temperament. His faoe would have been of almost too lofty and severe a beauty were It not for a amlla of childlike arch neat and amiability, alwaya daaolag at. tendance on hi Ilea.
