. Max Kehmon, llio old hunter; al last Bellied down
, within.the reach of civilization. In youth a voyager
among the Canadians, in after life a trapper without
society except llio occasional companionship of a few
chance coiqradbs, ho was wholly wedded to a wild
life, and inly pined when llio Infirmities of ago com*
( polled him to iiis kind, and wear social fellers.—
There was another motive, as it seemed to others;
Which however 'had little weight.wilit
wanderings were • not solitary. For many ycart ho
liad been accompanied by a beautiful, wild hearted
girl, the sole offspring of the only marriage tint the
free trapper liad ever contracted. People thought
that as his daughter approached
would naturally wish to givo her the ndvantonges of
education and society. But he hud ho sUchthoughl.
These things were of little Importance in his own
views, or indeed in those of his daughter,, as he very
well knew, but Max was too sensible not to feel that
his natural life must soon terminate, and that the
desert was not the most fitting home for on nnpro
tcclcd, friendless girl. So ho. settled himself quietly
as near the wilderness ns possible,* and became the
oracle to all JoVers dlMlld fbrcst crofl—his nature
better pleased with tiiis'amphibioqa life than if ho
had existed in a wholly uncongenial element.
Diane Herman inherited frpjnber mother, the
diughlorof u Canadian voyogucr,j»oth a.name and
llio roaming spirit of race. . Front thh days of
earliest recollection, she had been, at her father's, aide
on the wild pruirc or ranging over desert mountains,
attd sometimes too her cotfrogc wo# tried In thfe hours
of danger. The bold hunter delighted In nothing
inoro than predatory skirmishes with the tndtdhs,-
who on (heir purl were wont to acknowledge the
debt with Interest. Once, with but two eottltades si
his buck, lie was surrounded in his trapping lodge
and forced la stand u week’s siege. Then the fear
less conduct pf Diane, child as sho was, won from
him a hunter's praise and fatherly pride. Yet,
though without fear at the sight of bloody sho shud
dered at its effusion. The brave girl, who so coura.
gcoualy garrisoned one side of their little hut, was a
true woman after all. That was a singular training
which alio received; wondering over an Uninhabited
country with a rndo’trappcr; shutout from education,
and only taught to read and write by on accidental
residence fur a few weeks at a Jesuit mission; with
out means of refinement, having for tho language of
her mind only what could bo learned from the voice
of Nature in her deepest seclusions* This alio could
understand vaguely,
“nndUie licnrl of Uio nmlJcn
Swelled and obeyed id power like the tremulous tides of Iho
ocean.' ‘ f .
Such was her. character when old Max K«rmon,
exchanging his scmi.barbarisin for the holfclvilixa*
tlon of a Western frontier, found as littlo difference
between the old and now situations os might have
been expected. In fine days ho hunted, In unpleasant
he perched on a settle with his pipe slid told huge
(itnrjcs of old adventures. Doolie and boob men were
Contemptible in his eyes, and of course, were worth*
less in her sight, for she had never known them,
, She mingled but- little with those about her, and
spent most of her leisure alone with her musings in
somo favorite retreat. Long exposure to the sun had
Veiled but not hidden her fair complexion,with a rich
olive, and constant exercise had given firmness and
elasticity to iler limbs. No wondof lllal-aho was tho
bollo of tho village, oven though rarely sdon and
still more rarely, addressed. Suitors came for her
hand, and wore repulsed. Tho bold and adventurous
she instinctively disliked for the coarseness wlilejj
generally characterized them; a few of very different
stamp who taught her, she did not lake the trouble
fo notice, thinking them hardly worth the name of
men.
Of ibis luttor number, the moil prominent .was
Jamci Charlton, n young lawyer who had just open,
cd his office in the village. Kducalcd at an eastern
university, naturally of a retired oust of mind, ho hud
always avoided tho world and lived only with his
books. In being obliged to fall back on then) for
support, ho met the fato which usually attends men
whom tho world does not understand. Bat a part
only of his character had appeared., A liUlo Inter*
courso with tho world would soon loach him to know
and be known; after that his UlutiU weto a surd
guaranty of success. In his eyes, the boautlftil forest
girl was the ono whom philosophers always admired
and vainly sought to find, 110 dolormlndd to bo more
fortunate and obtain the reality .of the child.freshness,
V'hilo they could only conceive tho ideal, Luckily
bo saw hie deficiencies, and resolved to amend fttem,
■° that she could at least think of h|in, and after that
“~hU sanguine nature imped tho rest.

M Ho Is a fool who strives not fur love and beauty.'’
• Old Max.Kerman suddenly look Jl into his head 1
,was the proper ago for marriage, and
tjluntly told his daughter so, who on her part rc.oolv,.
jßil with a fooling {hat slio could
Mafttkgd tlie bird always looked upon’atf a' litinouary
evil which all al somo time maal.ondurp, and in her
few dreams of the future husband destined for her
self. Had pictured Him 1 as a bold, 1 Wild, flank hearted
man, differing from her father only in years. All of
this class whom she had hitherto known seemed to
luck something—sho-could; hardlytell what—and tho,
fact induced fears for her Happiness., However, she
hoped for good fortune, and thought but little more
on’ the subject
The hunter was determined that none but a man
after his own heart should possess his
almost the only qualification, necessary according.to,
his views wore strength and ability in manly, sports.
Ho took no pains lo concent Ins determination; arid,
it was surprising how suddenly such.gamcs:rpso in
favor with (ho young men of the village and vicinity.
Among so many.it was.somewhat difficult to distin
guish tho foremost, and yielding to the general de
sire, Max Kbrmon appointed a particular day for the
contest, with the understanding that the victor should
bo bricked by , his favor. Dianb protested, at. first
ogainst the plan, but the old man. was.resolute, and
she yielded.* If tlio,trull) must bo told, she too felt
art interest in these proofs of manhood, am}, was quite
willing to accept the viclorof tho day as her hasbandj
provided.he wasnol too Tor below tho standard Her
mind had fixed.
•Atlas! tho day came; and with it .crowd of young
men about him Max measured off thoground ofcon*
test, and made every necessary arrangement; There
were fair girls, too, et'lhc sccno—blooming Western
damsels, drawn together by tho excitement of those
rusty’ lists, or perhaps anxious to see whut favored
one would bo removed from that very necessary class
—beaux, Thdro was but two exercises, one of leap:
ing and one of mere strength;’ Old Max-himself led
off on the first, and grumbled .because hlastiffcncd
limbs could not carry him beyond fourteen feel—four
less, as he bltlcrly exclaimed, limn ho could leap id
his youth; • Then came tho others, one by. one, and
with different success. • Sumo fifteen feet, sumo six*
teen, two seventeen, one' luckless boy but thirteen,
and another more fortunate than tho rest—a’perfect
Ajax In limb—reached seventeen and three-quarters;
this settled (he .question, and all turned their alien*
(ion to the second trial. Just then the young lawyer
cnme iip and gazed upon the proceedings wlth quiel
indifference.
A bar was fastened firmly between two. .parallel
posts full four feet above tha.roach of'anon from tho
ground. Tho candidates were to leup up,catch with
both hands, and then, after heavy weights.had been
attached to (heir feet in this position, slowly, raise
their'shoulders (ill they touched tho bar, then drop
and hang by a single hand. Tho one, who could
cling longest thus was the winner of tho wife. Few*
or tried this ga me than tho other, for it required great
strength, ond, besides, tho 'immense limbs
of the former winner’ seemed to settle tho question.
With the weights attached ho remained in the air
S' isl twelve minutes—a third longer !lian J a'ny other
ad done. Ho descended with an air of. triumph
iat became a sneer when Charlton stepped forward
and prepared for the ’spring. Max rubbed, his eyes,
and Diane 1 herself .surveyed the young-lawyer tho
roughly—a mark of interest alio had never before
shown. Ho seemed powerfully formed, lliCngli by
no means as largo In bu/k os bis chiefirival. Yet
bvery limb appeared to be .in its projici’ place, and
well set.
With a light spring he gained the bar, raised him
self with the weights attached till Ills breast touched
it.'and (Hen hang motionless •without any apparent
effort/ Nine, ten minutes passed'away, and he did
not stir—twelve, and lie seemed to quiver slightly—
thirteen; and lie drew his watch wilh a calm smile,
saying,;- v.,
*‘ I suppose ll.Js ann'efcessafyTofmo io“fomnln licro
any. longer. Will vomo;one unfasten the weights V *
‘ He dropped lightly down.' > ,-
“Bravely done!" said Mai, “done like a man,
my boy, but why didn't you try (ho loop?”
Charlton marked the ground with o wary eye, and
then fdse nimbly ffdm ihc starling place.'
“ Higlit in his tracks !" cried tho old hunter; “ah f
if you liad risen a little higher you would have
struck two inches'ahead. No matter, tho 1 ; its
enough to bo even with him on this, You beat him
on the other as neatly as I ever saw anything done.*’
Notwithstanding his admiration of these proofs of
Charlton's manliness, the old man seemed somewhat
with the Jdeo of marrying his, daughter
to a lawyer. The young man Whom u/iarllon had so
eclipsed was evidently his firsl choice. Suddenly his
fico brightened ns he (urbed lb tho rivals and said,
Coiqe, boys, you're cVcjr mi jumping— have
•a I'lllo rifle practice to settle that part Another
trial. do'you no harm; Two shots each, remem
ber."
The Ajux briskly approved (his plan with q trium.
pliant glance at Chariton. Ho well knew that tho
young fawycf had not. reckoned on tins or ever train'
ed, himself very particular!/ with the rifle. Tho
other looked surprised and annoyed, but made no
uiclcsd opposition. . •
X pa'fntorf frolt was partly driven into a tree at
long shot distance, as (he mark. Charlton fired first
with groat core but missed it by at least a foot. His

Charlton hud (ho next shot, and noticing that Max
had raised his rttto faphJly until (ho instant of pres,
sing the trigger, imitated the nVolioii procfscly, trftsl*
ing to his own quick eye, and somewhat to fortune
too. Tho marker at (lie trod announced that the now
nail had been slightly struck on lliu edge of the head,'
and bent double. Tho lust shot was close but did
not quite touch (he murk*
Tins was more than the defeated 1 ifton could en>

throwing himself into his favorite fighting position;
with bent head sprung straight fur the other's brouft.
Charlton's hands were os quick as his eye, and step I .'
pin# a little aside ho'grasped the other’s wrist while
yet in tho dir, and with d sltlglo whirl compelled him
to execute a somerset on nothing and then full oh his
buck wildly counting the afternoon slurs. ;
Ho rose and looked sullen foi a moment, llpm
grasping Charlton by iho hand; saying, as*only* a
Western man can tay, •• lawyer! that was nicely
done. You aro.my friend-ntako her.
All congratulated the lucky .victor. , Old Max
shook Min warmly by thpt hand, and tho fair, prize
beamed a sweet smile on lion fortunate winner. . The
object for which ho hadisponl lung hours of painful
labor was now gained, and ho culled himself a happy'
man.' . :
Fora month, he daily visited Ijop abode,and chat
ted with tho old hunter, or more commonly ,walked
out with tho daughter. Yet not a word die he speak
of marriage, for, to confess tho. truth, though hfa.iovo
had increased Charlton was disappointed, lie found
even niord than ,ho had oxpqoted—a noble but un
formed souli'lody thoughts but undirected and wan
dering—bat closer views showed hint the fol|y of his
Ideal. With slbarlover’s ardor, ho had not patience
to await tho'full dovolupomont of, hcr.|hind,.and ex
pected it to burst at unco from Jgnoraheo!. Yet sho
was an apt scholar, and after overcoming her first
aversion to books and bookmen, made rapid progress.
Indeed so absorbed was she in her now pursuit that
ho hardly know that his afl'ootion was returned, and
lie aould.not boar to wait until she had attained his
standard of perfection, much less think of murrliigo
before Unit time. Hu was unreasonable, for ho was
a lover.' .

that time she had'boon too busy lo dream of It. His
unaccountable .departure showed her’that those de
lights' had always been associated with him, and were.
incomplete without his presence. Yet tho pride native
to her bosom was untamed, and his abrupt, instilling
desertion prevented her from making any manifesta
tion of sorrow* ,SHo returned lo her books and old
haiipts again, somewhat sadder perhaps; but with the
same enthusiasm as before.
- Nearly two'years past, .and she sllll.remained un
married. Time bad fully developed Ijcfc.raind, and
could James Charlton have seen her-now in her intel
ligent beauty, he would have sorely repented hissolf
banishment. Old Mar was furious at first, but sqoti
spilled hia niind by reflecting that, after all,* Idivycr
watf not best suited to his taste. Besides, Hi? hod
lately selected a now son in-law, whom’he voinly
sought to commend to his daughter’s favor. Tins was
a young htintot', just returned from an expedition to
the far Wcslbrn &toiii\ds, who had won iho
old man’s heart by his’ hunting stories, and skill with
the rifle. Ho was handsome fellow too, much
darkened by exposure, but manly in his bearing
andTrapk address, Yel, as always avoided
him, he had never,bced able ib exchange a Word
with. her. . . . -
; One day: she sought , a favorite shade; more dear
to her because pnthdt very, spot was her last meet
log with CJmrlibn. Bhe.tricd lq road, hut,,in vain ;
one thought alono filled' Her imnd, and she throw
aside her book id think of him. Hour offer hour
passed without her moving, though lovo, and- pride
were struggling in her heart. Sho heard a slight
hoUo, and listlessly lopked up; then came suddenly
the report of a riflo, a yell of agony, find the quick
crashing of some heavy body'through the branches;
A- largo catamount,knotted up and fighting wills
death, fullat her fcolMusl as n man leapedfrom the
bushes, and .despatched it by. a blow with his riflo.—
He waaiier father’s favorllo—the young hunter.
It was no limb-for mere compliments, and they
exchanged none. She (hanked her preserver in sim
ple, heartfelt words, and lie Replied with strange cm
barrassmdrtt for one who was usually so ready in his'
language, .lie first stamihorcd 1 out something about
the fortunate accident that liad brought Him so near
her, then:suddonly changing his tone, as if recollect
ing hrmsclf, entered into conversation with'his fair
companion that strangely surprised her. She had
always supposed him as rude as his fellows, but ho
now spoke with an easy elegance that showed not
merely- aj ftmllarity with the best society, but'tho
production of master men. She was'charmcd<and
bewildcrcdrNo such, elegance hod ever rearhed'her,
except when’ poured from the Ups of the lost Charlton.

had dazzled her.i-Thoy talked thus long and fervently.
Mind had met kindred mind, and each was lo|th to,
sho/len the communication. At last ho sloppfod and
mused for a few moments,'then looked.at her fixedly
with a strange yet frank amilc,;Hcgan.to spoak»of
love—of his own love to her.

her heart was already occupied. She was surprised*'
too, at his abrupt Introduction of the subject,'.but
could not be offended, with him who had preserved
her from a fearful death. Still she spake gravely and
sincerely, expressing.astonishment at his singular
avowal* and a request that she might bo pained with
it no more..

dent has rung Iris bell, and twice the Imisaiors havo
ordered the lpilcring representatives to their places.
The report oj yesterday's session is adopted, hut in
such noise ofjeonversation and laughter that you can
hear no word/of the proceedings.'
“Thiers 1'*!“ Thiers I" goes round the gallery.—
And a litlla sleek, gray-headed man, in brdwri
breeches, whbso legs seem too short Tor 'his body,
waddles up tpo hall, nodding at this one arid shaking,
hands with that one, and smiling all about him, till
at length he is ln his place, his head leaning on his
hand, and (ho debate is about to commence.
Two or three ore in waiting at the fool of the tri
bune, and look,appealingly for tlicir (urn toward (ho
president. At. length one riiounls, and/Icaning over
the tribune, kUofnpls to make his. voice heard above
the whispers, apd chattings, and movements in the
hali. Cut if c ho is a dull speaker, or an unknown
speaker, or an*unpopular speaker, or his topic be un
important, the attempt will bo utterly vain. In vain
(he easy*, happy.looking Marrast will put on a scowl
of oulliorUyfin vain the huissiers will rap upon the
railing; in volp the orator's friends will cry out order.
His words conio to the distant quarters of (he hall
only in feeble gusts of sounds, and the murmur oftlio
talk below and (ho earnest, eager voices above drown
it all. Sometimes a sentiment is caught up by some
disputatious llialncr in the gallery and rebutted, and
another coratai to the rescue, and yoiMiro relieved by
a little lively Rebate at “*Tho poor orator
labors nn, unconscious of the,little sidaiplay>(Uid (ho

, Presently romo person makes bis appearance at
tho foot of tho tribune inorb’wclcotncd than the rest*.
Tho whisper eirculolcs in the gallery, •■lt is Barrel,”
or “it is Rollin.” A little silence gains place. The
attendant places a fresh glass,of water; the represent
tntives who have been chattering put on an air of
“attention. The president rings his boll with more
confidence, and the orator will begin with quiet listen
crs. For a time every ward will reach you. But
quiet is not tho habit of the French. A word, a
thought, a slip of the tongue, a sneer, is seized upon
lo relieve the irksomeness of continuous listening,
and tho Assembly unburdens itself by a noisy adhe
sion or a noisy hilarity. __ -
Again the tinkling of the the thunder,
ing voice of tho huissiors—and a temporary silence
gives noV; .force to the speaker, and how unrest to
tho Assembly..
If (ho speaker, bo earnest and violent, a lapse of
quiet wfl) Ito followed by a storm of " sensation,”
which means ah indescribable uproar of voices (hat
yields’only to (ho oxhouslcd lungs of the.members.
Toward the close of the “sensation,” you will hoar
the dinging of the .president’s bell, and the outcry of
the attendants, ancrprcscntly again the violent into*

'At length the'votes-are all .in. ThOicomniUtous

In the midst,sounds the president's bell. The order
goes forth “Tb‘ ypur places,” The president rings
again and grows impatient—shrugs his shoulders.—
The hulsslcrs shout “silence,” as if their lungs wore
brazen.-The cry is repeated .at the foot of- .the tri

tho noisy talk dies Into chaff chat expires into mur>
