She was a fairv romp. There never was anything 1 so light and buoyant and graceful as Cousin Lu- . oy: there never was such a laugh as hers—it was merriment set to music. You might be vexed; and angry words would rise to your lips, per haps—but one glance at the smile that lighted up her sweet lips— one glance at her merrv. half rogish, half apologising eyes, would send vonr vexation to the wind.

She overvhorlv, tormented thei'* lives out fso Htev sn Id.) but everybo dy continually talked about her, eonrted her, ■praised her. took de- 1 irrht in her. What a light, grace ful tVdnof she was. I do not believe the floxvei's felt the pressure of her feet, aq she parsed oVer them. Her f*it litHe nrehed foot would scar-ielv brush the dew frotti the leaf it touch- orh iter affilitv was wonderful. She would dart about you like the plav of lightning, ahd defy your ef forts to seize her.. Her spring was like a fawn’s. She. would almost have crossed “ a roaring flood on the nnsteadfast- footing of a spear” if any footing could have been unstead- fast to her,lightness and command of limb. And then her daring! Ho one ever ventured to swing so high as she did; nor to mount such met tlesome steeds; nor to clamber such dangerous precipices; nor to do a thousand things at which finy other young laidics shrink and become terrified. I confess that I loved my Cousin Lucy. I was not alone in this, but I fancied from the first, that while she unmercifully ridiculed and tor mented other o f her admirers, with me there was a heaven o f niercy, of tenderness I could almost say.^ In deed, I shall never know happiness so complete and entire again, as in those days spent with Cousin Lucy. \Now—-well no matter about now— then she was a new and a rare flow er with the dew on, and every sense I possessed was fascinated. If I could only look upon her I was hap py; to touch her, to feel her hand in mine—sometimes even to kiss her hand—this was / too much. Once indeed, in the midst of a mad romp — for were very children, both, and gave our spirits holiday— I caught I 161 * in my arms and snatch ed one full, complete round kiss!— That kiss! It was a dozen years ago but I have hot forgotten its- sweet ness yet,although since then the same lips have been pressed to mine ma ny, many timed The fine sports we had in those times, that dozen years ago. Lucy was up to many tricks, bold, hoy- denish some would call them— very unlady-like they undoubtedly were — but Cousin Lucy no more thought of being lady-like than she did of being her grandmother. She would have laughed at any such idea with so rich, merny and hearty a laugh that the stiffest sticklers for the pro prieties, would have been half con verted to her view of the question. 1 recollect one of her tom-boy tricks in which I wad the victim a very naughty trick, so everybody said; but then everybody laughed so heartily. W e had been all that day in high glee-had tormented and teased each Howard Association, No. 2, South Ninth Street, Philadel phia, l’ a. By order o f the Directors. EZRA D. HBAUTWELL, President. GEO. FAIRCHILD, Secretory. 9$,ly other in every conceivable way, but all with so much real enjoyment that even the gravest member o f the family did not attempt to check our spirits. It last, I hardly know how it began, I was playfully attempt ing to retort upon her for something done, by sprinkling her face with a few drops .of cool spring water I had in the hollow of my hand. I suc ceeded, but only to receive in return a much larger qnanty. The game was open, and I received a shower at every turn, i was thoroughly ducked— drowned— in fact, jbecame a sort of walking cataract. The mis- chevlous witch began bv drowning me with a bowl full, and ended by pailfuls. In vain did I attempt to approach her with a view of punishment. She darted around me like a spirit. It was splash, splash— blinded,bewild ered, grasping, dripping, saturated, I could only make ineffectual at tempts to escape her, or retort upon her. She was a Napoleon, evei’y- where at the same moment^ pounc ing down upon me from unexpected quarters— appearing and disappear ing with the rapidity of flashes of lightning. Did I crawl around the corner of the house to come noon her unawares, just as I thought her capture secure— splash came a buck etful over my head trom behind !— There was no taken her unawares, and there was no being prepared fur her. My own feelings were those of a drowning rat,*as. near as I can im agine the feelings.of a drowning rat. could be. It ended as, all our sports' ended. I was thoroughly conquer ed, and she without a thread wet.— It was all very childish and very ri diculous, A practical joke, and practical jokes are under ban; but strair.ed. My strength was escaping from my limbs. I felt that my hour was come. Thti river was shallow beneath me find the bed rocky. If I tell, I should be dashed to pieces, and to climb up the branch, seemed impossible,when the least strain threatened to snap it entirely off, and send me plung ing through the air. I closed my eves and tried to think of death i My position had become so painful, that 1 tried to gain sufficient resolu tion to loosen my hold, and so at once end my suspense and agony. I looked down to take inv last look o f Lucy. Her hands were clasped, and her pale face gleamed through her disheveled tresses. The sight I like childish and ridiculous tilings — and a good practical joke some times. iteVer shall I forget how heartily the laugh was turned against me on another occasion 1 had vowed that I should have a kiss from Cousin Lucy, and Cousin Lucy had dared me to ilic attempt. I accepted the challenge and darted at her. She eluded my spring, and then began the chase. It was in the Up and down stairs, in and out of rooms, with doublings and turnings, and stratagems and tnanocuvcrs. The chase was a spir ited one. More than once I had mv of her nerved me to exertion,! look ed up along the branch to which I clung. It was evidently firmer than I had'expected. It ivas possible that I could draw myself up. The hope gave me courage. I began cautiously to ascend. Incessant practice in a gymnasium had given 1 * ■— * * me experience in thismode of climb ing, and desperation gave meimnat- tnral strength and power of endur ance. I gained confidence as I proceed* tree surged and swayed with my exertions, as if ev ery instant its frail limb would sever but jt held out so long that I began to look upon myself as past danger.

There was a little stream we often sailed upon, with a beautiful little wooded island in its centre.— The trees upon this island in one place, interlaced in a perfect arch with those o f the opposite bank. It occurred to me one day, and I pro posed it at once to Lucyqthat I slic’d climb the tree, clamber along the arching boughs and descend on the opposite side. There was enough danger in tlie adventure to give it zest. 1 was surprised to hear Lncy oppose it. Nothing ever seemed to give her fear for herself, why should she tremble, as she evidently 7 did, at tho trifling affair I was proposing? She told rfie afterwards that she was seized with an unaccountable appre hension—a sort of presentment I suppose. The ascent was easy enough, and I was just about to pass from the tree I had ascended, to the branth of an elm. and from this to an oak by which I could descend, and was exulting over the success of my feat, when, as I threw my weight upon the bough, it snapped, bent, and .I was suddenly sent swinging through the air at the Iiight o f forty feet. At this instant I heard Lucy scream, and giving a hasty glance down ward, saw her sinking upon the ground. The branch upon which I was suspended had partially broken at a joint, and was held bv what ap peared to me no more tlian the mere bark. I had slipped down the whole length of the pendant branch, and my only hold was by my hands.— The position wo.s one that could not be retained many moments, even if the broken bough had strength enough to sustain me.
