Crossing the ford. I began life by running Away from 8 home. Boiloau, wear? twd, was driv- <] en into his career by tho hand of fate v and the peck of a turkey. Attil'u started in life with no other cause and * capital than an old sword, which ho c Was adroit enough to palm off for the 11 divine weapon of Mars, and Robe- c spierre owed his political career to a wetting his stockings, and there heard ^ "tho words which burn, which fired 8 his soul, mid determined his course in life. My running away from home a- l, rose from a minor mortification, cans- h ed by carrying a pretty girl over a c brook. " 1J tl>)onuhl Lean and myself were good s' friends at fourteen years of age, and j wc both regarded, with a little morej .than .friendship, pretty Helen Graham,! "our eldest giri" at school. We ^ romped and.danced together, and this lasted for such a length of time that it is with a,feeling of bewilderment that I S1 l<MXk Ixvck oil the mystery of two lovers CM continuing friends. But time came, a as come it must, wlien jealously lit her 11 spark in my boyish bosom, and blew!'" it.into a consuming flame. j w Well del remember how and when u the "green eyed" perpetrated this in-j 9! cenduiry deed. It was on a cold Octo- j di d>er morning, when Helen, Donald e< jintl i myself -were returning with our 8t 1>arent<; from a visit to a neighboring lainlet. -As wo approached a ford ?' \ where tlio water ran somewhat higher w than ancle deep, we prepared to carry n: Helen across, as we were accustomed ! ito<dn, with hands interwoven "chair j w tfashion," thus we took our pretty pas-1 scnger through the brook. Just as wc j were in the middle of the water? j w was cold enough at that time to J P< have frozen anything like feeling out of i boy* less hardy than ourselves?a faint j 4' pang of jealousy nipped my heart.? '111 Why it was I knew not, for wc had ear- j }u ried Helen titty times across the 1,1 brook ere now without emotion, but m this evening I thought or fancied that Helen gave Donald an uuduo prefer-!11; ence by casting her pretty arm around I s'( his neck, while 6hc studied herself on iny side by holding the cuff of my jack- ,V? ft. ^ ^ No name can burn 60 quickly or j tu| with so little fuel as jealousy. Before: Wl we had reached the opposite? hank, t' XVil was wishing Donald at the "bottom of: the sea." Being naturally impetuous, ,,e I burst out with? j SOi "Ton need nn had sea gingerly, I hr llelen, as if yc feared a fa. lean car- rtP rv ve lithter than Donald wad half of a 4 ye." so< Surprised at the vehemence of mv ?r trina Atir n Honn IntA.i.aoa/I nn n/1 in? ?v??V^ V*??

Jhit Donald's ire wan kindled ,l iind he utterly denied that I was at ',a all qualified to compete with him in feats of carriage. On such topics )'e boys arc generally emulous and by the] time we had reached the opposite ^ bank, it was settled that the point: should be determined by our single!9^ bearing Helen across the ford in onrj"e arms. . jtcl Helen was to determine who had;er carried her most easily, and I settled with myself privately in advance, that:*-11 the one who obtained the preference1IS would really be the person who stood In tiiglieat in her affections. Hie rcflec-|ro _ j i.. i i non sumuiateu me to rcsoive to exert; every effort,and I verily believe to this j day, that I could have carried Donald 1? and Helen on either arm, like feathers. " I Dut 1 anticipate. We suffered all the rest of the party ' 5<! to pass quietly along, and then return-1 Qj ed to the ft id I lifted Ilelcn with the J utmost case, and carried her like an in- j (0 fant to the middle of the water. Jealousy had also inspired a warmer love, and it was with feelings unknown be- pt fore that I embraced her beautiinl I (>t form, and I felt the pressure of her eo cheeks against mine. All went swim-' *]) mingly,or rather wad i ugly, for a mill-' or lite. Jbit alas! in the very deepest part y? of the ford?I trod on u treacherous bit1 cl of wood, which rested, I suppose, on a1 y< sino th stone. Over I rolled, bearing i" Helen with me, ney did we rise mitdj m';rly gonked from head to foot. ! pi I need not describe the taunts of! st Donald, of thft more accusing silence! T * \ f Helen.

As we approachid the house, lielen fueling dryer o<id xjttor humored attempted to conciliate ne. But I preserved a moody silence -was mortified beyond redress. That night I packed up a few things, nd ran away. My boyish mind, eenitive and irritated, exaggerated the egation it had received, and promptd me to a course which fortunately led > better result tlmu usually attended noli irregularities. I went to Edininrgh, where 1 found a maternal mile, a kindiicnrtcd, childish man, who rlaHl \* iru vri ?r n ? lilunn in l?to * v II ? J'lUW All JIIO Jl fV/11J U ^ jud. employed me in his business.? Yealth flowed upon him. I became lis partner?wont nbroml, resided four cars on the continent, and Anally returned to Scotland, rich, educated? a 6liort, every thing but married. One evening while at a ball in Glas;ow, I was struck by a young lady of [uito unpretending appearance, but t hose remarkable beauty and high-tond expressions indicated a mind of more han ordinary power. I was introducd, but the Scottish name had long been mfamiliur to my ear, and I could not atch hers. It was Helen something, nd there was some thiamin the face, tx>, that seemed familar?something uggestive of mixed pleasure and pain. But we l>ecomo well acquiainted liat evening. I learned without difculty the history. She was from the ountry, had been well educated, her areata had lost their propety, and lie was now governess in a family of lie city. I was satisfied with her conversa011, and was continually reminded by er grace and refinement of manner, tat she was capable of moving with istiuguished success in a far higher [>hcre than that which fortune seemil to have allotted her. I am uaturlly neither talkative or prone to condciice; but there was that in this young Lllv tliilt ineiiihrtil m.-l I -? ? Mvtu} ?iu\.i A wiivertseu ith her us I luid never conversed ith any. Jler questions of the vari-j is countries with which I was fkm-j lur, indicated a remarkable knowl-1 lge of literature, and an incredible ore of information. We progressed in intimacy, and as ill'conversation turned on the causes' liich induced so many to leave their utive land, I laughingly icmarkcdi lat I owed my own travels to falling ith a pretty girl into the ford. I had scarcely *p?>kc these words ere j 10 blood mounted to her face, and > as succeeded by quite a remarkable | lioness. I attributed this to the heart t ' the room?laughed?and at her-re-! lest, proceeded to give the details of j y ford adventure with LLelcn tira I mi?which I di<l, painting in glow-' g colors the beauty aud amiabilty of y love. iter mirth during the recital became most irrepressible. At iis coucbi-' ?n she remarked : ''.Mr. Itoberts, is it impossible that; u have forgotten me ? J gazed an instaut?remembered?j (I was dumb-founded.
