Her susceptible nature .was overcome with gratitude to her preserver, and this soon ripened into a passion of love, of the most deep and fervent kind. . She lavished upon him the whole wealth of her affections, and the whole depth of passion nurtured by a Southern sun'. ■. When h,o called upon to j oih the ranks ol his country's defenders, the prospect .of their separation almost maddened her.—— Their porting came; but scarcely was she left alone, ere her romantic nature prompt ed the means of re-uniont. Once resolved, no consideration of danger could dampen her spirit, and thought of consequence could move her .purpose. She severed her long and jetty Ringlets, and provided herself, and set forth to follow the fortunes of her loycr. A smooth-faced, beautiful and delicate stidj^ipgap^a^dlanioh^theJiftrdy/rough and giant frames; who composed the qorps to which jasper belonged. The contrast between the I stripling and these men, in their uncouth garbs, their massive faces, embrowned and discolored by the .sun, and pain, was indeed striking. But none was more eager for the battle, or so indifferent to fatigue as the fair faced boy. It- wias found that his energy of character, reso lution and courage, amply supplied his lack of physique. None ■ ever suspected that she was a woman. None, even Jas per himself although she iwas often by his ade, penetrated her with kindness and respect, and often applauded heto heroic bravery. JPhfev romance of her situation increased the fervor of. her passion. It wgs her delight to reflect that unhhown Jo him, she was by. his side, to .watch over him, ip the hour of danger. She had fed Jer pfMwii Dy gaaing upon him in thc “ < Wf. $ slmnbfer; hovering near him. whan steahng through the swamp and thicket, anddways ready to avert danger from his hpad. ■ ■ - B. ShikiC.

The camp Had sunk into a repose. The watch fires were burning low, and only &e islow tread of sentinels fell upon the profound silence of the night air as they moydn through the dark shadows of the forest.-4- Stretohed upon the ground, with no other couch than a blanket, reposed the warlike brm of Jasjper, Climbing vines tiailed hemselves into a canopy above his head, through which the stars shone softly.— The faint flicker from the expiring em bers of fire fell athwart his countenance, and tinged the cheek of one who bent above his couch. It was the smooth-faced stripling. She bent low down, as if to Alstom to his dreams or to breathe into his Eotil pleasant visions of love and happiness.

There is one last, linger ibg to hpraelf away ftom the spot, to weep out her sorrows in privacy. J Fierce and terrible is the conflict that on tho morrow rages on that spot. Fore most in that battle is the intrepid Jasper, apd ever by his side fights the stripling warrior, i Often, during the heat and smoke,; gleams suddenly upon the eyes of Jasper, the melancholly fece of the maiden. In the’thickest of the fight, surrounded by enemies, the lovers fight side by side, bnddenly a lance is leveled at the breast of Jasper; but swifter than the lance, is .Sally St. IClair. There is a wild cry, and at the feet of Jasper sinks the maiden, With the life-bloodgushing from her white bosom. He heeds not the diu or the dan ger of the conflict; but down by x the side of the dying boy he kneels. Then, for the first time, (foes he learn thpt the strips ling is Lis love; that often by the camp fire, and in the swamp, she has been by his side; that the dim visions in his slum ber, of anj angel face hovering above him, had indeed been true. In the midst of the battle* with her lover by her side, and the barb still in her bosom, the heroic maiden dies! Her name, ter bex, and her noble de votion soon became known through the corps. There was a tearful group gather ed around her grave; there was not of these hardy warriors' pne who did not be dew her grave with tears. They buried her near the river Santee, “in a green shady nook, that looked as if it had been stolen out of Paradise.” The Eoss of Early Purify of Char- Oyer the beauty of the plum aud the apricot, there grows a bloom aud beauty more exquisite than the fruit itself—a soft delicate plush that overspreads its blushing cheek. Now if you strike your hand over that, and it is gone, it is forever j for it never grows but once. Take the flower that hangs in the morning impearled with dew arrayed as no queenly woman evert was arrayed with jewels. Once shake it so that the. beads roll off, aud you may sprinkle over it as carefully as you please, yet it pan never be made again what it waa when the dew fell silently apod it from heaven !

A man who has spotted and.spoil ed his g«nueh.ts in youth, though he may to make them white again, can never wbollvr do ijt, even were he to wash them with his tears.- When styoung man leaves his father’s, house, with the blessings of his still wet ih his forehead, .he, onpe loses that early purity of char-' acter, it is a loss that he cau nevef make whole again.

It is their duty to do the amiable first, for it is a privilege which ladies enjoy of choosing their own 'associates, pr acquaintances. No gentle man likes to risk the “ cut” in the streets by a lady by a premature salute. Too many ladies, it would seem, don’t know their trade of politeness. Sleeting ladies in the street, whom one has casually met in company, they seldom Low unless he bows first; and when a gentleman ever de parts from the rule of good breeding, ex cept occasionally, by way of experiment, his acquaintances do not multiply, but he stands, probajbly, charged with rudeness. A lady must .be civil to a gentleman into whose company she may casually be placed; but a| gentleman is not, upon this, to presume ujpon an acquaintanceship the first time he afterwards meets her in the street. If it be her- will, she gives some token of recognition, when the gentleman may.bow; but otherwise he must pass On and consider himself a strnager. No lady need hesitate to bow to a gentleman, for be will promptly and politely answer even if he has forgotten his fair saluter. No one but a brute can do otherwise.- Should bo paps on rudely bis diameter is declared, and, there is a cheap riddance.— Politeness or good breeding is like law—- the ‘ reason of things.’ ” How the Boys Fooled the Old «en- lie was fat and on horseback. They made him believe that a creek he had just come to (it wgs in Alabama,) was so deep his horse w.oijid have to swim it. The Col. slowly divested himself of coat, boots, pantaloons an|d drawers. These he nicely, tied up in hjis handkerchief and hung them on the horn of his saddle, then he remounted, and as he was a short, fat man, with a paunch of rather inordinate size, rather inadequate legs, a face like a with ered apple, and a brown wig, there is no doubt he made an interesting picture as he,bestrode his steed, with the breeze hoid ing gentle dalliance with the extremity of his only garment. Slowly and cautiously the old gentle man took the creek. Half a length and the water was not fetlock deep. Here the horse stopped! to drink. A length and a half, and the! stream was no deeper.— Thirty feet farther and a decided shoaling Here Col. I) reined to. P “ There miist,” said he, “be an awful deep channel] bet ween this and the bank' —see how it j’uils. We ll d:ujh through here." j A sharp made the horse spring the watery waste, and another carried the horse and to the opposite bank. The creek was nowhere more than afoot deep. A wild ye|l from the young ’uns ’an nounced theii] a pprobation x of tlie sport as thpy galloped ’ away with the Col. after them, imprecating ferociously, but they got off and left linn grumbling and dres sing himself by the roadside. Simplicity op Dress.— Female love liness never appeared to so good advan tage as when set off with simplicity of dress; and opr dear human angels, if they would make gbod their title to that name, should 'carefully avoid ornaments which properly belong to Indipn squaws and Af rican princesses. .These tiuselries may serve to give effect on the stage or on the bed room floor, but in daily life there is no substitute tor the charm, of simplicity.

I bunded out to die* cover the . cause, It wan a disagreeable morning—snowing, sfoeting and raining alternately. In going round to the corner where the crowd bad assembled, I looked tip, and I caught the mania for laughing too. A rope was stretched from the top of the College to that tif itho Preparatory Department, a pf about fifteen paces, and in the middip of yriuch rope a suit of clothes stuffed, having the - appear ance and the size of a man, was suspended by the neck, looking much like a man strangled to death, A'huge placard, placed upon the most prominent part of his breeches,, bore, the following inscrip tion) which told the story too palpable to be doubted: “ StispENtißb peom the Is -BTXTUTION !” As I glaifocd .it for -a moment* I suspected tlite perpetrator to bo Harry Noble, who, xc«a suspended ftom : the institution a few weeks before, but in a different way. After enjoying the sight awhile, thp crowd dispersed. At break fast that morning one of the students told the old lady of the boarding-house that one of their number had committed sui cide at the College the 1 night before, by hanging. “Is it possible!" she exclaim ed.- “ Tes,” said .the student, “it is too true; just come fiere, you can sec him hanging yet." She looked toward the College and saw what; she was sure was the studept hanging by the neck-dead. “ W®!?/’ convulsively sighed the old lady, “ I always said tliat the students out there would do something desperate some time I" The man who was .“ sufepended," di l not remain in that.condition’as long as Harry did, but only until that evening, when he was cut down by the Janitbr, * * One evening, while pprihg over Orid's Metamorphoses, and trying to translate the lesson,in.which is fabled to have been rc-peopledby human beings formed from stones, I involuntarily thought that if stones were than transformed into men, men were now ofteft transformed into stones. I did not tliinkt|uit I should Inive an exemplification of that, fact so soon, however faint the. example. I heard a loud rap at my door. I Opened it and mV classmate, Abel Dixon, entered.
