BO?'S FIRST LOVE. I CONTINUED. I .Fair anti afflicted lady, you are right; I am indeed a friend; nnd I know not who you are. An almighty influence-need I Darno it?-has drawn me towards you. I know no? thing, I seek to know nothing, but that I am your blind aud devoted ..Pretty, was it not? Well, I tied that to the stone, and remembering my own accident, andthnt my charm? er did not wear a tall, still' lint, I uttered a warning cry, and tossed the missive over the wall. Then I ran up the hill, to soe how she liked it, and ascended high enough in time to ob? serve tho wliolo process of reading the note, which she'did holding it at arm's length, clutching it with both hands, lips parted. If she bad stu? died underra pre-Raphaelito painter, she could not have done it better. "What I Ind said seemed to be satisfactory to her, for when she had read it, she kissed the note twice, aud thrust it in her bosom; looked tip nt Hie sky, clasped her bauds, nnd walked rapidly oil towards the bouse, without attempting to communicate with mo further. "Immediately after that commence? ment of n correspondence, wet wea? ther set in, and I did not ace tho mystery of my heart for a week; at tho end of that time, the sun re-ap? peared, and on mounting guard on my hill, I perceived that slie was once more in tho garden. She ap? peared glad to see me, and motioned mo down to tho foot of tho wall again, and when I was there, tossed mo over another letter: .I cannot fully trust you till I have scanned your features moro closely. Swim tho moat and scale the battle? ments, so shall we converse at ease.' "What did she mean by a moat? Was it a playful allusion to tho quan? tity of rain that had fallen? Or a sarcastic intimation that the difficnl ties I had to overcome were trifling indeed to those which lovers iu the good old times thought nothing of? >r was she merely indulging in a poet? ical license? I left all this for future consideration; the battlementa were indubitably the wall, and her mean? ing was sufficiently plain for imme? diate practical purposes. 'I come, fair lady, I cornel' I cried, looking about for a good climbing situation. But the wall had been newly pointed, and there were no cracks or crannies into which finger or boot tips could be insinuated. A smooth outface was presented to me, up which a cat might possibly have run, though I doubt it, but before which a clawless creature was help? less. "I was now well provided with writing materials, and I explained my difficulty on gold-edged, tinted and scented note-paper, promising, however, to get over it and up the wall next day, or perish in tho at? tempt-though how either alterna? tive was to bo accomplished, I could not-for the life of me imagine. "But the night brought counsel; and on the following morning, I pro? cured aeveral large nails, or staples, and a mallet; and going to the placo earlier than usual, and firat ascertain? ing from my post on tho hill-sido that tho coast was clear, I proceeded to drive a nail into the mortar at about three feet from tho ground, another higher up, and then stand? ing on the lowest, and holding on to the other with my left hand, I knocked a third in still higher; and so, after many tumbles and abrasions of the skin, I contrived a series of points of advantage, which enabled me to scramble high enough to catch hold of the wall, and then I was all right, for tliero were no broken bot? tles along tho coping.
