Our vc^sol was tho surveying brig Plover, which, day nftor day, in the real me of tho Arctic, with bows sheeted in crystal, with icicles hailing pendent from the yards, with frozen, sails, and shrouds, went, rippling on her course through vast 1'n !?1p of Ice, and among stupendous bvrgs that towered above our very musts. Sublimity, br'ghtn ss and gloom alternated in this wild 1*1 iUie. At times we saw the red Aurora Burcalia funning tho cold sky, as it' in mockery, with its lurid linlit; at times, the ice duaalud with its brilliancy ; but ollen it SCOtnud covered with black shadows, while the eternal thunder ol the tides, washing the b.mes of Irozcil cliffs, boomed on OUT ears. But there was n little sunbea i; in our lliidst, which cheered US more than wor la can express.

Chirping like a bird, wrapped iu her pretty iur tout, she would run am! ektp ubi ut the decks, aiitiling Itiudlj upon all.

Ono morning, about three days after the event ncii'del, ? dove Hew out ol the bin, and was, by the wind blowing freshly at the time, carried sums yards fn.m the ship. It alighted upon the edge of an iceberg, towering to tho height ol our t.'p galiaut yard, and from I hence to t'ne very summit of tho berg. With if quirk cry, Cluribel bounded to the rail, and. getting over ilito the nitiiu chains she was, before any person could pi event her, upon tho fou idatioii uf the berg?a broad, circular, jagged piece "f ice, upon which the ba->e ol the !V ?Zun pinnacle was fixed.

Claribcl, however, owing to her lightness, went up the piecipi.ee almost as east I) u- i! she wure going up stairs. At this moment the vessel, caught b\ .i pull of wind, swung round, so that for several minutes, the little climber ous lost to our View.

A : length, thefe she stood upon that huge overhanging mass ofioo projecting from the summit of the loftly berg.

Still, there she was, laughingly un conscious of her peril, on the slippery ledge, reaching out for the dove The herg was n ?w oscillating with the waves ; the cracking sound was he.ird again.

S'jc was j so very young, and iunoceut, and prettv. She had such a way id'looking at you i'tcr her hymn-book iu church. She alt nc of all the world did not think you a boy. and wondered at your e ae and learning, and believed you every inch a man. When at those stupid evening parlies, where beys and girls who should have been eating suppers of bread and milk, nnd gone to sleep before, waltzed, J end Hirtud, and made themselves sick ' over oysters and sweet meats, ynu were j favored with a glance of her eye, or ? ! whisper of her lip, you ascended to the seventh heaven immediately. When ! once upon a certain memorable eve. she smiled nj on another boy, and nevor looked at you, how miserable you were. It is funny to think of now ; bu it was I not fuuny then, for you were awfully iu earnest. Once at a picnic she wore a white dress, and had roses twiued in her black hair, and she looked so rauch liko u bride that you fairly trembled ; some limes yon thought, in just such snowy ct stiiuie, with just such blossoms iu her hair, sho might stand beside the alter, and you, most blest of all mortals, might place a golden ring upon her finger; and when you were left ulonc with her for a moment, somo of your thoughts would form themselves into words, and though she blushed and rana.vay, and Would uot let you kisj her pretty rosey lips, she did not Heeni to be angry. And then, when you were somehow parted for a little while, and wheu you met again, she was walking with a gentleman, a large, full grown, whiskered man, of twenty eight or thirty, und hud neither word nor I smile for you, and some well meaning gossip informed you shortly after that she was ''engaged" to the tall gentleman with black whiskers, arid that "it was a splendid match." It was terriblo news to you theu, and sent you off to some great "city fsr lroni your native place, whore, rtftcr a good deal e4'you thful grief, and many resolutions to die and haunt her, you recovered your cjuaat tnity aud began to make money aud to call love stuff and nonscrso. You have a ricv wife of your own now, grown-up children, aye, even twq or three toddling graud-children about, your health ; your hair is gray, and you lock your heart op in the ?io-prcof aafe at your counting-.house, when you go homo at night And you thought you had forgotten that little episode of your childhood, until the other day, when you read of her doatb in the papers. You know she was a stout lady, who wore glasses, and bad died older than che was in that olden time, but your heart went brick and you saw her emil ing and blushing, with her golden hair about her face, and yourself a boy again, dreaming of wedding robes and rings, and you laid your gray oli head upon your office desk aud wept for the memory I of your first sweet heart. Too Much Credit. Mr. Kcene a shrewd and thrifty far mer of A Men borough owned a large flock of shep, and one autumn when it oarne housing time he was groatly annoyed upon missing a number of his finest mut tons; among three or four wethers which he had raised and fattened for his owu table, lie was sure it was not tho work of dogs, and the most ho could do was to' await further developments. On the following spring when hisaheep wcre turned out to pasture, be instituted a careful Watch mi ere long he detected fom Stickn?y, u neighboring farmer, in the act of pilfcriuga sheep; but he made no noise about, it at the time. Stickney was u lean well to do and Kcene did not care to expose him. Autumn came again, and upon count ing up his stock Mr. Keens found eight sheep niissiag. lie made out a bill in form to Thomas Stickncy for tho S i n?eutod tit.

As ?ro he I out the bill to Tom Stickney for the whole nun.her missing, but this limo Tom object od. "Its to i n.u rh ol a good thing." said he. "Fifteen sheep ! Why, bless your soul, 1 hadn't a fifth of em." Mr. Keeiie was inexorable. "Th< re is the bill," Baid be, "aud I have mude it out in good faith. I have made no loss when my sheep have" b tea mussing, because 1 deemed your credit good and sufficient.*' "Well," gro ined Tom, with a big gulp ?'I suppose 1 must obey; but," he added emphatically, "we'll clo.e that account from this date.
