FLORENCE GrWINNJS.
v ' , nr ank*. < y" 4 .
Never, upon this bright, world that we inhabit,
lived thens a more mischievous, laughter-loving
little witch, than Florence Gwinbe. fcihe pos o*se<l
one of ihoao frank, ojx-n, sonny countsnitflcw,
that are so ncldom uret| yet, when seen,
remind oue so forcibly of the beauties Mousing
to a fair aikI lovely day in June. Her large
brown eyes were always beaming with mirth
and happiness, And fleet in every tcluilte that
promised amusement. was Florence. j
Mrs. G win nr. n quiet, gentle woman, often
atghei) as Florence's clear, ringing laughter, was
borne to her ran lief anxious, luring heart,
was fearful the joyous, light hearted girl would
never become a quiet, scribns woman, such as
she wished to see hers Monntlmrs Mrs Gwinns
wuuiu cm-1'* iter <iaugiiu?r'? inirMi, and tell Iter |
of her age, (for Florence ynis almost sixteen,)
nnd for a little while she would wear a serious i
look* tod resolve to he as quiet aa a mouse.?i
ft But, lo! in a few momenta, the eotm<i of her
brother Willie's cheerful voice, whistling a favorite
air, would put all thoaa good resolutions
to flight; and away she would skip to join liirn.
The next her toother saw of her, .would, perhap#,
be riding a horee with neither saddle or '
bridle, and without a thought or care of the hot, I
scorching ann shining down upon her uncovered
hood, blie could manage, with perfect aaae, the ?
wildest horse in her lather's stable; and never did
elte appear lovelier than when c horac-baek. But
to relate all the mad prankaof Florence Owiutie,
would fill a volume; we; therefore, ottlv rocite
one, which, we.hope, w ill amuse you, dear reader.
One bright afternoon, just after one of those parental
lectures oo propriety, which, aa usual, made
Florence somewhat thoughtful, Willis, a stout,'
rosy-cheeked, ourly-headed'urchiu, of ten years,
thrust hie head within the door of tha room
where Florence eat, and laughingly challenged
her to a race down to u>e river. ib?i< fed
resisting this appeal, and, hastily snatching a
straw hat thnt '.ay on the table at her side, she
bounded away?her old ardor for mirth nothing
damped by her mother's late discourse on
w...t U 1.1. _

t'Ugtgni her uimt?lf fing-ns in forming
% wreath of lately wild flow oft, to decorate her
hut. mud now and then, JMiiling from her em* j
ploynu-nt, to scatter a handful of liny pebble*
into the clear. bright water flowing nt her feet. >
Willie, with hie pantaloon* rolled eh?ve tho
kneto, was wading up gad down the stream,
while ever and anon a gay laugh, or rather
about, would buret from hie iipst ae some desterone
little minnow escaped hie eager grasp. Altogether,
Willie presented e cln ruling specimen
of happy, enthuehietio boyhood. Thio imuumeat,
however, pleaeant ae It woe, di?l not, long
satisfy their ever-varying faoaiea : nod Florence
noon bethought hareelf of a now pastime.?
"Willie, Willie t Cottle; lata go and drive the
cows home front Un- pasture. Wop't it be pleas-autf
No proposition copld hare bgeq more
ooneonant to Willie; and hvquiokly sought the
bank, and joined Florence. ,
" Whleh direction shall we go?through the
wood* or around the road f aaked Willie.
"Oh f go through the woods, by all means,"
was Florence's reply ; it will ba ao shady nod
tool." And in a moment off they darted.? i
"HOW hentitilul and quiet everything seem-, thin
aPEerfTobrt," said Florence, tor licf> nfrther, as
th*y strolled along " Listen ! tfiua, Wlhlfl?
continued* she, ns j"nst at thnt mooient a niovking
ldrd?w the nightingale of tlie South"?
poured fprtli n MtiA?u of Woet melody from a
neighboring ook. "isn't it d/llgb\rtt) rtiueic 1
How I Wish mama urns^fith t? now !' I am sure,
if she were, ?he would u?var aooM iuc again for
loving the Wild green woods *o deari} ." . Willie
was Almost as nioeli' pleased as Florence, with
tho - swedvVoieM' songster-.'8 They ' lingered
qulrtfy. Het^ping to the- bird's soft song ; and it,
oa if flattered by such attentive auditors, filfcd the
woods with rich strains of gushing mnsic.
Proceeding along the shady pathway that led
through the wooJK laughing und chattering gaily,
as only the young and* innocent can 'do, they
soon arrived at the |?*iur<. Far away among
the rich, green, grass, ilia cattle might be seen
qnle?ly1>ro'wsfitgl while ever and anon, the soft.
choir tinlfle j>f-u hell mths borne qpon the er?ni
ig brevae, junking syicsl music?sweet, at least,
to the ??r of I'Lurenue (Iwinna. The grass who
fory high; and Flofeuce, who, nottflthstftndiiig
Iter wild, romping wava, luul a perfect horror of
Soake*, Couciudea to t<muin at the entrance of
the Held until her brother returned with the
coars. \ With- this intention, she seated herself
upon Abe topmost rail of the feno; and, to while
away the little,cotfitneuucd singing a wild..plaint
Ive, tciv air. Kitting tints, v. itli the soft breeze
playing with her luxuriant ttvesenv her stiaw
hat waving to and fro as it Initvg suspended from
her arm, and iter somewhat suq-browned lace
flushed with- health and exercise. Florence
G winoe presented such a Jkrfeet picture of hi ml
loveliness, ns would have enchanted the heart of
ai> ariAsh Jhe gipsy air did not strike li?r as
bviug eomic enough, so in a moment her red lips
p irted in a inlscliievous smile, nttd then, with a
luugh, she sang~s
" As I went out by tlio light of the tnoon,
Merrily singing this old tune,
1 came across a "big raccoon, '
A sotting on a ruil.r
Ae she concluded, a rich, manly laugh greeted
her, and mude her cars fairly tingle. Turning
quick'/ i* tketiircoliou whence the iuuuJ came,
Florence perceived, at a abort distance, a yuuug
gentleman, on itoreehack, who teemed to ?n)ii/
her dixcomflt vastly. The rich hlood ru-h?d tu
naultuoutdy over Florence's fnoe am) nock, and,
for ouoq in her life, alio teemed completely uonpl
turned. In a moment, however, her uaaal audacity
came to her relief. "With a pretty ton of
her curia, ?lie echoed the laugh merrily, and
with aa much *any jrotd iui though it waa not
raised at her ?xpenae. ' ,
"Can you direct mo to Dr. tlvMnnCV T*' naked
the atra;iger, na goon aa he could command hie '
voice sufficiently to apeak.
" Yea, air. Wait a minute," and ae the spoke,
the ealtie ware seen approaching, with Wiilir
trudging along Iwhind. Hpringlng frwtn her !?vation,
Florence qniekly lowered the bnrt, that
they mi-lit puaa through. As Willie came up,
he perceived the presence ?>f the stranger, and
politely rnis. d his ?Aj* "Willie approached Florence,
and said : **
" Oh, Flora, I sin very sorry ITcept yon wait,
ing no long, but I killed a large moccasin down
by tire ditch, which kept me lunger than 1
would have been.*' " ,
M It did nut seem very long Willi*;' and I nature
yoo I enjoyed mywlf finely during your
alienee/" *nd aguin that fairy-like laugh greeted
the ear of the stranger, who found himself heartily
joining the young girl in her mirth. The
information he had inquired for w?? forgotten,
and all three marched on after the cow*.
To ? short time they arrived at an opening
where three tan?> met. Here Florence seemed 1
all at one? to recollect the wish of the young
gentleman to learn the road to her fatlirr'e
house. M I really heg your pardon, air, for not 9
answering your inquiry sooner. That is the lane
you toko. It will carry you directly to the
house. Brother and 1 are going this wav." i*>di- '
eating, hy wave of iter hand, the lane that led
to the cow lot. The ynnnf man looked aa If |
loath to leara them. Turning to Florence, ka
aaid, earnestly, "You will, at leaet, tell me, be- |
fore you go, the noma of the fairy whose musi- 1
eal laughter Itae ao charmed my bran UiU ev?ning."
1
' Really, I tin very terry,* eald ttorenee, dc- 1
merely, M but 1 am eutirely unacquainted with
the name of a single fairy, or 1 would inform
you with ptoesnre." The gentleman laughed *
jiiraimiiUy at hie eif4h>? le-lag so completely 1
parried. Atthasamr time a light barouche, drawn '
by a Ruble pair oT horses. ww rapidly approach- '
tug, apparently occupied by only two prisons. I
Aa it drew near to our party, a serious, woman- <
ly-fnco looked out, and a soft voice S|?oke aa if t I

In a mont< nt the barouche stood still, and Dr. I

In o ride, or, a stroll along the banks of the riv. r.
Sometimes, Florence, Maurice and Willie, would
all gp to tUp posture for the cowl; end then
*uch* shouts of joyous laughter as would echo
through the "o<?<i?, wn* cheering to hear.
Mnuilco bad .been with l>r. Gwinnc nearly
eight montlis, when ouo :e veiling he proposed tu Fh>r?noe,
Uiat as everything appeared so jdensant
and cheerful, they should take a rid? on
horseback. Florence, nothing loth, quickly
donned her riding hnt.it, and in a few momenta,
they galloped frotq the house. Never bad
Florence appeared iovol *r thau on this (air even
ing. Her lithe graceful figure whs displayed to
the greatest advantage by the neat fitting hnldi
she wore; while the bright color in her cheek,
combined with the mass of beautiful ringlets
flowing around her fair neck and shoulders,
made her look perfectly enchanting. They liud
nob ridden Jor, when Maurice, who. aeetued restless
and exdted, said, sadly.;, " It Is but a eery
short time Florence. until I must leave thy pleasant
home. I could bear that, but to part tmiu thee!
oh I It seeius like taking all the suusluue from
my heart." j
" lint, .Mnurice, you will come back to see lis

" Conic buck f 1 cannot my. Will you regret
my absence! Will you'thiuk of nic? 1 >o you,
can you love iuc us sincerely aud -eurnoutly us 1
love you T"
For. one moment* as she listeued to this pas
sionala language, Florence really fell serious, ,
altd her heart prompted an answer warm enough
to satisfy even n lover, liut it did not hist* nod
quickly the old love of Inn cwino hack to her.
ltenlly, Maurice, you do it very prettily !?
With whom have you bevu practicing Y" aud her
char laugh rung merrily out ?>n the still uir. !
Mawrico bit his hp in vexation, but uuswvrcd
e? Inly: j
" 1 am in earnest, Florence, do not trifle With '
my heart" *
" " Vour heart, forsooth! Pray, tell mr hotr ,
long siheo you discoxend you possessed one!"
returned the provoking girl! For the first time,
perhaps, Maurice acknowledged that Flursnca ,
was iudtod too giddy, and determining that she ,
should tantalize him no more, he rod* on in si- j
letlC<\ j
flofenrc that she had carried the jcal too
far, but was far too prond to revert to the dia
carded subject, nud soon began chatting gallv (
about everything that came into )i?r head.? {
Maurice could not long remain angry ; byt they \
were returning (tnd had nearly reached home |
ere lie again broached the suhjeet uppermost in (
hia heart. ]
" Will yon not l>? acriona for oncck dear Ftor- j
eitca, and answer me truly ? Ijo you love me I (

Florvnea blushed, aud timidly her eyea sought ,
the grouud, ae she answered:
* 1 do love you Maurice. I do, indeed; in* ,
pplu- of all my love of mischief." (
" lilcss you, my own Florence. Bless you," (
was all Maurice could say. Yet what pure, <
heart-felt lhank% those few simple words con- \
veyod. ]
As soap as. they reached home, the impatient j
lover immediately sought the office, where he ,
was sure of finding Dr. Qwinne, and formally (
proposed for the ha ltd of hie lovely daughter.?
rh? kind hearted old gentleman unhesitatingly
gave bis sanction to the union. In a short time
tney were married. And Florence, the gay, I

If a man faint* away, says Hail'* Journal of r
leullh, instead-of yelling out like a savage, or
'uuning to lift him up, lay him at full length on *
lis hack, on the floor, loosen the clothing, push 1
he crowd away, so as to allow tlia air to reach
ilm, and let bim alone. Iuu>hing water over a '
person in a Simple fainting fit is a barbarity.?
Hie philosophy of a fainting fit is that the heart
ails*to send the proper supply of blood to the c

.brown up hill, bat if lying down it has to be a
projected horizontally, which requires less pow* 0

If a person swallows poison deliberately or by
liauoe, instead of breaking out into multitudia- '
