In a delightful town in New England, there lived a family of the name of Davis. Their residence was in a neat little cottage in a beautiful valley on the bank of a river, whose waters glided smoothly by the side of their humble but happy mansion. Mr. Davis had two daughters who were twins. Mrs. Davis took great pains to dress them alike, and always to have them make a neat appearance. Their names were Helen and Maria.

In pleasant, warm weather, they often took a walk by the river, and were much pleased with the delightful groves and scenery, which their handsome valley presented to their view.
