So wonderful ia tbe meat of everything pot together, that i don't know Sunday front Monday. Aa my disappearance from the loved ones, and hundred# of friend' 1 left he bind, 'wjja eo sudden and unexpected to tfaeta, tbe mystery mutt be cleared, and 1 don't know arty otber way in doing It, but to ei*e them a abort hiooranhc af mi ? _ s-~r~J " "'J life.

That mysterious sex? woman?I attribute all tny diaaalera to. You know they always called ute a peculiar fellow, with peculiar notions and waya, which djd pot adjtacJilj auit them i and 1 'spose it was these peculiar* waya that caused roe to get in thi4 peculiar difficulty.?

IsO J- ? mmjr, ounuj, you nioat now quit your nonsense, tyro your attention to book*, go to school regularly aad try and make a man of yourself. You are now grow ing up Tory fast, and you'll soon be old enough to shift for yourself; git your little things ready by morning and go to school, I shall not disturb you any mora till the spring of the year; and then you know we'll have a crop to make." I bad been to school some little before, but it was ja such a way that 1 never derived any beneftt from it?going but a month or so, and then beiog stopped to i Work on the farm, so | w?* always kept about the same mark. I t Bright and early Monday morning, i with my face washed, hair slicked, shoes smutted, ! put off to sohool in good spir j its and high anticipations. The selioSl J house is one familiar to evervhodr. raised m I vti in the baekwooda. It consisted of a few Blackjack loga notched together, dirt chimney in one Conner, a parcel of rough he*d aaplina sal upon fork* for benches, wiih do becks. It goav.by the ' name of "Blackjack Academy," and as all my friend* are wall acquainted with the locality, I shall not give a further die eription. ttutHce it to any, it waa there my Aral trouble* commenced, and where I learnt aome lessons I'll never forget, and of which 1 intern! to apeak hereafter. Aa I before aaid, that aex?u'rnan? waa the cauae of all my diffioa!ti?a. But not withstanding my atrong prejudices gainat tbein, it teemed to me I always loved them stronger than any one else awd in apite of all my xertion* I waa tMtgled in their cnreMcs quicker than , llkK* jirfce of n sheepa tail, alter first , 9 iglu. The boy* *11 fall out with ma lor j p'tching in reg*r?Jlaa* of fort;;ar claims *nd threatened to maul ma if I didn't desiat. Of courae J didh't psy Uiucb attention to thaui, aa [ considered myself ' a free inan, living in * free country. You koow it is a custom, allowed At 'Blackjack Academy," as vrall a* at most other conutry schools, for the boys and girl* to til out doors under the tree* to study their lessens. such a priviltd^a, for 1 fear it una proved the ruination of all of Sandy's earthly bliss. *}'he position 1 had lolm tcd for my study was just opposite a iwge old oak, and wbo should lake their seal in front r%f inA avasa i?? ? ?

The rohool master was ft good old f?l low, jbsl eutsriug his second childhood and I knew to come any speed in the ourting line, I must first use my endea vors to git on good terms with him. 1 WSk not nt school ininv ilsia I found nut that his greatest Lobby wai his birth pines, ar.d all the great men and prornineul water courses in hia na tire State, was hia highest themes for cow venation. I thought that a good oppor- | tunity for me to initiate royrfelf into lha | graces of the old fellow, ao I neg'ected 1 no opportunity of flattering old "Kip V?n Winkle," speaking favorab'y of all htr grant men, "Tar ltitrer," "Halifax County," dec., .and it wasn't long l*fore I found im self on as good terms with the old ! schoolmaster as two "runaway negroes." Hero I commenced to speculate.? Thinks I to myself, all right, I'd oanag? affairs now to suit, and these other boys must stand off. I am moat a man any how?have a beard in tho course of a year I know, and then won't thaae shame faced boya look on in wonder aud amusement.

Though I gueaa I'll find, out. * Thua I rttujued in my mind at aome length, studying over ell my past life and trying to tarrut out aome plan by wbicii I might become acquainted with Miss Fanny. She atil! took har aeat at lha old trea every morning, and aa it waa on the path to the apring I'd paaa there 'bout twenty t'.tnee a day juat to git a1 look at bar, and when pausing if she hap peoed to look up I'd aiuila aa aweet aa ate wad oniona, and abe'd look aa dehcioua aa a ripe atrawberry. Oh, thinka I, isn't that delightful, and I'd want to aav aomething about aa bad aa you ever aaw a chap, but waa too fearful of "epiling the apoon." I could sea distinctly that she bad a half way hankering notion about her that ? thought abe waa pretty, and whenever j I'd look ao bewitcbingly at her, run my bands 'way down in my trowaera pockets, pull out rny big red fcandanuer haodker chief, and sorter give it the dandy aling, she'd look up at me aud turn aa red in the face, ugh I To put off making ber acquaintance any looser I tbouslit would Drove fatal. no Friday evening, just before school die mimed for the week, 1 resolved rather '.ban 1 e miserable for two whole dart and night*, to enter into desperate meat tires to git the chance to speak to her.? So out I put for the spring ; taking up the goatd pretending I was drinking, I made a mis* step, accidentia, on purpose, fell down and smashed it all ipto little driblets. Taking op the pieces 1 went to her, explained the accidrnt^appeared to be vers sorry, and asked ber adrlce about the matter. I soon discovered I'd touched her in the right ptace, as she promised to replace the goard Monday morning to save me from a flogging which I was sure to git.
