Tujmiug the corner of u much . freqttun tod and narrow nlfey." ho* observed a young lady standing in pdi plexity, appir ently^ueasuf?ftifj'tbc lleptH of tho muddy water between hot and the opposite tndo walk with no very satisfied' countenance. e aatlor paused, lor he was a great sdmirer ?*f beauty, and certainly the fair face that -peeped out from under the l lftjle cjjjip hat, :uid tlic auburn curls1 j hanging" glossy and and uncoiifiticd over pier mt&dip dross, wight tempt a curio or an ndmiriug\ glance.?Perplesod the j lady put forth on? little foot*, \i\en ?he gttllaut Bui'or, with '"impulsiveness, eav claimed: ^Thut pr.-tfy foot/Mady. should not bo soiled with the filth of this lane; watt {'or a moment only, and attd I \yll make yon a path." So springing ptlst^her into a carpen ter's shop'opposite, he furgniucd fur a plaR.k board that stood in tho doorway, and coming back to the .S'oiliog girl, j ft\io was. just coquetish cnotrgh to ncoepj tlie services of tho handsoihc "vputll s;u Hor he'bridged* tho. narrow but'ek stream, and ajbc tripped across with n' merry 'Ijitauk you. and a roguish smile, * mak ing ho?- es as dnsMing 'as they could * 'Alas! our yodhjj sailor was perfectly eharuied.

The next day he wn'? astonished with an onler of promotion Irotii the Captain.

His superior officers seemed to l""k upiui him with considerable leniency, ami ;..a\(' him many a lair opportunity to gat lief marine knowledge; u.al in a year the handsome, gentlemanly young mate had acquired unusual favor in the eyes of the portly commander, Captain Hume, who had first take) the smart little Ida-k eyed fellow'' with hi? lieai Mirpauiio, nud lid) bund!'-. ;*.s his c.tbiu boy I Otic night tho y tig man with all the other officers was invited to un entertain inen I .it the Captain's h iusc.

Thump, thump, went h.s brave henrt as ho w is ushered iuto the parlor, and like a sledgcdittinmcr it beat agate, when Captain Humu brought forward his blue eyed darfghter, and with a ploasaut smile; said : ? 'This young lady was onci indebted to your kindness for a sale aud dry walk home.' His eye-; were all ablaze, ami hi.* brown cheek* Dashed hastily as the noble Cuptaiu ssuutcred away, leaving 11 race Hume at his side. And in till that assembly was not so handsome a cotip'le an the gallant sailor and the 'pretty ladt.' It was only a ydnf ffom that timothat the second mate trod the quarter deck, second only iu command, and part owner with the Captain, not only in his vessel but ill* the affections of bis daughter, gentle Gra*6e Hume VTh'o had always chortshed respect, to say nothing of love, lor the bright i-yed sailor.

Number eight married uutof spite bo ' cause her first lovo had taken to himself a second love '. This piece of retaliation i might have done her good at the time. ! but in the long run number cighl found it did riot pay. WANTED SYMPATHY. Number nine married because she bad re:ul novels and "wanted sympathy." Sympathy is a fine thing, but it cools down at a rapid rate if the domestic kittle is not kept boiling, and the do-j ' mestic turkey is undone Novels ;::.d ; j housekeeping don't run very well togeth er in harness, to use a sporting term; aud number nine's supply of sympathy didn't bohl out very tefjg.

We have nil tho right motive at last ono which when sanctified by a desiro tnd resolution to improve and elevate each other, and to live true and holy lives before God, cannot fail to call down thu blessings of ffeaven. Hut sad is the fute of thoso Who marry from Wrong inn ' tires, to escape their share of life's Work, I or to get something for which they have nothing to giv.: in return.
