The news in Tolnuon to ll?c fata of h
fsir John Franklin and his brave com- r
pan ions, recalls iwfHrltcrestinfj incident t
connected with that memorable crxpedi* >

In the -west of Kngland are town* ,
whose corporate limits are less than- a c
mile apart, and which have teen' for c
many years united ill ono Parliament;!- c
tj "borough. One of them, lVnrvn, lias I
an existence of many -centuriea, being c
recorded as a thrinntr. market town' in.
1268. The other, -Faliuouth, Lad no- <]
existence prnkxlt to the seventeenth |i
century, although now an important
seaport, and oxecedfeg its elder neigh- <|
bor in population iV9 business. Both <
towns are situated on the name inlet <?r \
arm 01 tue ken, J.'enryt? boing atiu ox- h
trewe head. As might be expected^ I
there has existed a strong jealousy be*' ?
tween tl?e town*, which \jrai not ,<lecreased
by their ill assorted tin ton tain c
* one-Parliamentary bo rough, whilst still r
retaining their aCparkte Corporate oxist- >
ence. # Fenryw considers its young t
neighbor as ?n npstait, while Falmouth 1
retorts by sneering at the olden bo*- ]
ougli as old fashioued and fosailraed. i
Desperate fights and Litter personal <
quarrels have been thus occasioned. (
About fifteen years ago, a young sail- j
or, named Johns, a na ive of, Pcnrjn, j
belonged to a coasting vessel 8nih"?v J
tween that port and ne?was i
the accepted ?uiior of Miss Cook, a <
young girl of about bis own circtnn- (
stances, ont whose personal attractions
B*incd the attention of more than one i
tii&n of better ftatfon... She was aeme-,'
thing of a coquette, and 'flirted in the <
absence of her lover with same of her i
othor admirers. I
Among these was n dashing, young \
fellow, a professed u lady Filler," from '
Falmouth, who bad once had a quariel 1
with young Johns on account of local '
prejudice, and whose attentions to Miss
Cook were at first prompted by a spirit '
of roalioe to his adversary. lie took 1
her to places of amusement, rode or <
walked with her on Sundays, and en- I
dcarored to make his ^tentions to her 1
as public as possible. <
Humors of this had reached Johns <
on some of his trips home, but as he <
never saw them together, he always 1
passed tbe tales by with as little alien- <
tion as possible. Once, however, his
vessel anivsd in port on a Sunday even- ,
log, and the lover, hastily donning hin i
best suit, rushed off to see his ladvdove. j
Slii Was net at home, having gone to j
church. Impatiently he hurtied off to (
the cburcb, and near its gqtftoaw.his ]
apparently faithless sweet*?ea*P%alking ,
arm-la-arm with kis detested ralmouth |
advsasasy. Without waiting to meet 1
them, he turned *od went on board bfc

Penryu sent out four hardy fellows.

lie had joined the tMring'party
that were hi -search of fntne, aifd |>erhaps

of tho JTorth Pole.
Soon after this rasn step had been ,
taken, Johns learned that Miss Cook
was still faithful to him alone. The
meeting- between tbein must have been
both sweet and Litter?sweet in tho ,
knowledge of each other's .constancy?
Litter in the certainty that they must
liart, for it Was now too Into to retract.

My brother ricman liked the' biiaihfe?a
of carrying the mail belter than I
did; 1md ao I went to work in a new

From the tree that imprisoned me the <
ground descended rapidly for a dozen (
rods or more to a little creek. My axe 1
lay upon the brow of tho' hill. The <
3rst movement I made towards twist- )

handle, so as to drag it within mv reach, 1
oosened it from its icy rest, and awav |
t went down the hill, crushing through ,
ihe little frost brittle bushes, down irpon

few rods below, and over that into the (
iinfroseo }>ool, with a surging sound, as ,
t fell into the water, that aeemed to J

crash of crockery, as if the end of the

shriek, which told us too plainly that
something unusual was to pay in the

examining the cut of their coats, look
into their habits and their hearts.?
