keening a cheerful heart, and trying to look
at the fnture, which seemed so grim to hiin.
Ilia good humor and excellent qualities made
hitn beloved by his comrades.
One day he was standing in the square
with some of thorn prattling away an hour
of leisure, when the attention of the young
men became arrested by a young and elogant
lady, who, by the side of nu older one,
whs slowly walkimg over the place. It was
the daughter of the Governor of Gpanla,
living in the city, and the lady vraa her governess,
She was generally known for her
{roodness and gentleness of chnrnefer, and

her as she passed, like n graceful vision, ono
of llictn suddenly exclaimed :
"Well, it would he worth something to
hare n kiss from audi lips."
The poor student hero of our 4tory, who
looked on that pure angelie face, oxolaimod,

party.
And I! and I!" exclaimed three or four
other*, for it happened that acveral very rich
young men were in the group, and the othis I

The young lady listened attentively, and
