The pat- boughs, upon, the waters of the lake, just I tinted with, a refleotion from the sunset sky, watching the shadows gathering be- neatn the many little wooded islands which dotted the lake, listening to the chirup of the cricket, and the cry of the whip-puor-will, there was aealm.so sweet and intense eame over me, that it. seemed to me that my previous life had been a blank—a perfect death, wherein the soul had known no sensation.-, and no exis- tence—that this was my real first taste of life in its true, high, and perfectiucan- ing. And when later iu tho evening, Mary, the eldest daughter, went to the piano and a sweet, plaintive inejody came wafted on the air, .mingling with the mu- sical night sounds around; and after this, three of the sisters sang a sweet little trio; and then the whole bevy, four iu number, came up to their parents for their good-nights kits; and the younger Submitted to an additional kiss from me, which I didn't dare ask of the two oldest, and then .they all tripped off to bed, hap- py and laughing «nd chatting—why, somehow, my miud kept rui.mng on mat- rimony, and when I retired to the cham- at once.

By the time I rct.ched my friends my spirit.-, were up again, however, and at tea I gave them all a glowing account of, my adventure. \ It must have been Alice Clave,\ said Jlnry Woodward.

It would be well ior me not to confess this blunder, I should never hear the end of it. 1 think, hereafter, that I will stick to law. It is all I am fit fur. After duly upbrading, myself iu this fashion, I resolved to strike across the countiy to tho first house I met, and here learn my whereabouts, and obtain' a guide if possible.

I lode back and found'my bat, and then deliberately pur- sued my way to Alice's cottage. As 1 rode up I saw a horse, not Hero, dusty and travel-stained, standing by the gate. A visitor, thought I, impatiently, and I shall fail to find an opportunity attcr all. Ilowever, I rode up and dis- mounted, and entered. Alice was there, her riding-habit al- ' ready removed.
