A SWEETHEART RACE.
BY BEBA SMITH
Hardly 'any event creates a stran-
I ger sensation in a thinly settled New
'England village, especially among
the young folks, than the arrival of a
fresh and' blooming Miss, .who comes
to. make her. abode. in the neighbor
hood. When, t . herefore Squire. John
son, the.only lawyerin this place, and
'a very respectable man, of course, told
Fairner'Jones one afterhoOn that his
wife's sister, a smart girl of 'eighteen,
was earning in a few daysto 'reside.
in the family, the news flew like wild
fire through Pond yillage, and Was
.the 'prinCipal topic of Conversation
for a. week. "Pond Village is situated
upon the niargin of one of those na
merons and beautiful sheets of water
that gem the whole Surface of New
'England like the 'bright stars in an
evening sky, and'reeeived its appella
tion to distinguiSh it : , fro, two or
three ether villages in the ,ssiiie'town
ship, which could not boaSt . 'ora'simi- ,
lar location.. When . Farther, Jones ,
came in to 'his ',Supper about Sunset,.;
that afternoon; andAobk his 'Seat at
,thotable; the eyes' Of 'the 'whOlii lam
ily 'were upon Ifor there 'was :a
peculiar working abbut his mouth.
arid a knowincr glance in his'eyes that
always told them - when he had any
thing of interest to -
But Farmer Jones' scoretiVeitess *at 1
large, and his temperament not the I
most active, and he would - probably I
have rolled the important secret as a I
sweet ; morsel 'tinder his tongue for al
long time, had not Mrs. Jones, who
was rather of an impatient and pry
ing turn of mind, contrived to draw I
it-from him.
"Now, Mr. Jones," said she, as she
handed him his cup of tea, "what is
it you are going to - say ?" Do out
with;! it; for you've been chawing
something in your mind ever since you
came in the house."
! ,/ "It's my toliueker, I s'poSO " said
Mr. Jonee'
. with another' knowing
glance of 'his eye:
"sow, father Whet's'the use?" said
Susan; we all I;notv you've something
or other, you want_ to say, and why
can't you tell What 'tie."
1 "La, who cares what 'tie said Mrs.
1 Jones; "if it was anything worth tel
ling, we should'ut haVe to wait for it,
I dare say."
Hereupon Mrs. Jones assumed an
air of the most - 06,rfect indifference, as
the surest way of _conquering What
! she was pleased to call Mr. Jonee'*Oh
' stinacy which by the way was 'avery
improper term to apply in the case;
1 for it was only the working of See'ret
ivencss, without the least particle of
obstinacy attaChed , to it.
There was. afpallse of two or three
minutes in the' conversation, till Mr.
Jones passed his cup to be filled asec
! and time, when, with a couple of pre
paratory .ahems, he began to' let out
! the secret.
( "We are to have a new neighbor
I here in a few days;": said Mr:. J ones,
I.stOpping: short When' he uttered, this
much, and sipping his tea and Tilling
his mouth with food. !
Mrs: Jones, who was-perfect in her
tactics, said not a - word; but attended
to the affairs of her- table: as' though
she had not noticed what was said.—
Thelarmer's secretiveness had at laSt
worked itself out, and he began- again.
"Squire Johnston's wife's sister- is
coming here in a few•days, and is go
ing to live with 'cm." •
The news being thus fairly -divulg
ed left free scope for conversation.: ,
"Well, wonder if, she is a• proud,
stuck-up piece," said Mrs. Jones.
"I shouldn't think she would he,"
said Susan, "for there ain't -a more so
ciable woman in the neighborhood
than Mrs. Johnston - . - So if she is at
all like her sister I think •weshall like
her." • ' -
"I wonder how old she is 7" said
Stephen, who was justV'erving toward
the close of his twenty-first year.
"The squire called her eighteen,"
said Mr. Jones, giving a wink to his
wife, as much as to say, that's about
the right age for Stephen.
"I wonder if she is handsome," said
Susan, who was somewhat vain ofher
own looks, and, having'been a sort of
reigning, belle in Pond village for some
time, she felts little alarmed at the
idea of a rival.
dare be-bound she's:handsome,"
said Mrs, Jones "if she'S sister to - 14.?.-e.
Johnston, for well on find artiand
sower woman than Mrs. Johnston, go
the town through ?" •
After supper Stephen went down to
Mr. Robinson's store, and told the
news to young Charlie Robinson, and
all the young fellows who were gath
ered there for a game at quoits and
ring at wrestling And Susan went
directly over to Mr. Bean's and told
Patty, and Patty went around to wid
ow Davis's and told Sally, and be
fore nine o'clock the matter was pret
ty well understood in about every
house in the village.
At the cloSe of the fourth clay, a
little before sunset, a nbaise was seen
to drive up to Squire Johnson's door.
Of course the eyes of the whole vil
lage were turned in that direction.—
Sally Davis, who was just coining in
from milking, set her pail down on
the grass by the side of the road as
soon as the chaise came in sight, and
Watched it till it reached the Squire's
dOof and the gentleirtan and lady had
got out and gone intd the hpuse.-- ,
Patty Bean was doing up the ironing '
that , afternoon, and she had just ta
ken a hot iron from the fire as the
chaise passed the doer, and she ran'
with it in her haryl and 'stood' on the
.
door steps till the whole ceremony of
alighting, greeting, and entering the
house was over.
Old Mrs. Bean stood with her head
j out of the window, her iron-bowed
spectacles restbig upon the top of her
forehead;, , lier shriveled hand placed
across her eyebrows to defend her red
( eyes from the rays of the settingsun
and her skinny chin protuding alout
three inches in advanceof a couple of
stubs of teeth r which her
exposed fairly to view.
"Seems to me `they are dreadful lov
ing " said old .
d -Beah, as. she saw
Mrs ' . Johnsonescend, the steps and
welcome her sister .with a kiss.
"La, me, if there isn't the squire
kissing of:ltu," said Patty j. "well,
I deehireetild, wait -till I>got in
the bowie, I'll - die if I wouldn't. It
looks so ruletr to be kissing afore
folks, 'and out of= doors tu; I should
think'Squire Sbhnbori Wouli he ''hsh •
ed of himself."
”Well I shouldn't," said young John
Bean, who eame.np that moment, .and
who hail passed the chase just as the
young 'lady: alighted froth' it, ; "I
shouldn't be ashathed to kiss sich
pretty - gal as that - , any 'how ; I'd kiss
her wherever I could 'catch her, if it
was in the m.eetiu-house."
"Why, is she handsome,'lack ?"
said Patty:
"Yes, she's, got the prettiest little
puckery - mouth seen these six
months. Her cheeks are red, and her
eyes. shine like new buttons."
"Well," replied Patty, "if she'll on
ly talc'ethe - Shine ofiSiisan J Ones when
she goes to . meetin?, 'Sunday, I shan't
care. •
While these obServationa were go
ing an at old MI , . Bean's, Charles Rob
inson and a group of young .fellowS
with him were standing in front 'of
Robinson's store, a little further down
the road, and watching the scene that
was passing. at Squire, johnson's.-
They witnessed the whole with becon:
ing decorum, now and .then makinc , a
remark upon the fine horse and the
handsome chaise, . till they saw the
tall squire bend his head down and
give the young lady a kiss, when they
all bUrst out into a loud laugh. In - a
moment, being conscious that their
laugh Must be heard and noticed at
the squire's, they, in order to do away
the impression it must necessarily
Make, at once turned their heads .an
other way; and Charles Robinson, who
was quick at an expedient, knocked
off the hat of the lad Who•was stand
ing next to him, and then they all
laughed louder 'than_before.
"Here comes Jack'B . ean," said
Charles, "now we shall hear something
about her, for Jack was coming by the
squire's when she got out or the
chaise. Ho* does she look, Jack ?"
"Handsome as a pictur," said Jack.
"I haint seen a prettier, gal since last
Thanksgiving day,- when Jane Ford
was here to visit Susan Jones."
*"Black eyes or blue ?" said Charles.
"Blue," said Jack, "but all fired
brig:ht."
"rail or short ?" said Stephen 'Jones
who was rather - short' himself, and
therefore felt a particular interest on
that i?oint.
"Rather short;' said Jack, "but
straight and round as a young colt."
Do you know What her name ia?"
said Charles.
"They called her 'Lucy when she
got out of the chaise," Said Jack 'and
as Mrs. Johnson's name was Brown
before she was married, I s'pose her
name must be Lucy Brown:
"Jest such a name as I like," said
CharleS Robinson; "Lucy Brown
sounds well. Nov suppose, in order
to get acquainted With her, we all
hands take a sail :toi.morrow night,
about this time, on the pond, and in
vite her to go with us.'
"Agreed, said Stephen Jones.
"Agreed," said Jack Bean.
"Agreed," said all hands.
The question then arose who should
carry the invitation to, her, and the
young men being rather bashful on
that score, it was finally settled that
Susan Jones should ; bear :the invita
tion, and accompany - her to the boat,
where they should all be in waiting
to receive her. . ,
The next day was a very long day
at least to most of the young men of
Pond village; and promptly an. hour
before sunset most of them were as
sembled, with half a score of their
sisters and feniale cousins, by a little
stone wharf on the margin, of the
pond, for the proposed , sail. All the
airls in the village of a suitable age
were there, except Patty Bean. - She
bad undergone a good deal of fidget
ing and fussing during the day topre
pare for the sail, but had been disap
pointed. filer new bonnet was not
done; and as to wearing her old flap
sided bonnet, she declared she would
not, if she never went.
Presently Susan JoneS and Miss
Lucy Brown Were seen coming down
the road. moment all was quiet,
the laugh and joke was bushed, and
each put on his best looks. When
they arrived, Susan went through the
ceremony of introducing Miss Brown
to each of the ladies and gentlemen
pro Sent.
"But how in the world aid S-on go- .
ing to sail?" said,Misa. 1311Mrt, "fur
there a breath Of wind; and I
donl see any sailboat, neither."
"Oh, the less wind w.o have the bet
ter, When we sail here," said'Charles
Robinson "and tbere . is our sall-boat,"
pointing to - a flat-bettomed scow-boat
some twenty feet long.by ten wide.
"We don't,nee tit) said Sack
Bean;.,"Sonletimes, When the wind is
fair,: we put bush to help pull along
a little,
,and when 'tisn't. we row."
The pariy, were ~soon:- einbarked on
boarckthe scow, and a couple ,or:oare
.were in
_potion, and - they
_glided
slowly and pleasanflYover as lovely a
sheet of water as ever glowed in the
sunsetting ray. In one hour's time
the whole party felt perfectly acquain
ted With, Miss lucyßrown. She had
talked in rthe,most lively and fascina
ting, manner she, had told stories and
sung songs. Among others, she had
given Moore's boat song" with the
,qweqt*, : pospiblia effect ; and by the
time they returned to the landing, ft
would hardly iktoo much to say that
half the. young-men in the party were
decidedly in love'rwith. her.
A stern regaidtp the truth requires
a, remark to - be made here not alto
., .
.getber favorable to. Susan Jones,
which, is the. More. to be rearetted as
.she was in main an excellent'
- hearted.gig, - and highly esteemed by
the whole village. It was observed
'that as the company grew more and
more pleased with kiss Lucy Brown,
saw Jones was less and less anima
:ted, till at last she became' quite re
served and apparently sad. She, how
' -ever, on landing, accompanied her
home to Squire Johnson's doOr, and
cordially bid her good night.
The casual glimpses which the
Young men Of:Pond village had of
Miss Brown during the remainder of
the :week, as she occasionally stood at
the door or looked out at the window,
and once or - twice when she walked
out with Sus* Jones, an d the fair
view they all had. Of her at meeting
on the Sabbath;served but to increase
their admiration, and to render her
more and more an object of attrac
tion.
,She was regarded by all as a
prize, and 'several .of them were al
ready planning ;What steps it was
best to take in'order to win her. The
two most prominent candidates how
ever, for Miss Brown's favor, were
Charles Robinson and Stephen Jones.
Their position and standing among
the. oung men of the village seemed
to put all others in the back ground.
Charles, whose 'father Was weal thy,
had every advantage which 'money
could procure. But Stephen, though
poor, had• decidedly the advantage in
personal recommendations. He - had
more talent, was more, sprightly and
more pleasing in bis address. From
the evening of the sail on the pond
they both watched every movement '
of Miss Brown with the most intense
anxiety ; and, as nothing can deceive
a lover,
each had, with an interest no
less.
of the other. They had ceased to
speak to each other about her, and if
her name was mentioned in their
presence, both were alWa,ys observed
to color, .
. The second Week after her arrival,
through the influence of Squire John
son, the'district school was offered to
Miss Brown,
on the other side of the
pond, which offer was accepted and
she went immediately to take
charge of it; This announcement at
first threw something of a damper
upon the spirits of the young people
of Pond village.. But when it was
understood that the sChool would con
tinuo but a few weeks, and being but
a Mile and a half distant,,Missßrown
Would.come home every Saturday af
ternoon and spend the Sabbath, it was
not very, difficult to be reconciled to
the temporary arrangement. The
week wore away heavily, especially
to Charles Robinson and Stephen
lenes'. They counted the days impa
tiently till Saturday, they counted
the long and lagging hours to men.
They had both'made up their minds
that it would be dangerous to wait
any longer, and they had both resolv
ed not to Jet another Sabbath, pass
without making, direct proposal to
Miss Brown.
Stephin Jnnes was too early a ris
er for Charles Robinson, and, in
any enterprise where both were con
cerned was pretty sure to take the
lead, except where money could car
ry the palm, and then, of course, it was
always borne: away by Charles. As
Miss Lucy had- been absent the most
of the week, and was to be at home
that afternoon, Charles Robinson had
made an arrangement with his moth
er and - sister to have a little tea-party
in the evening, or the purpose of in
viting Miss Brown; fid then, of
course, ho should walk - home with her
in the evening;
and then, of course
would be .a good opportunity to break
the ice,:and n3ake 'known his feelingti
and Wishes. Stephen Jones; however,
was mote prompt in his , movements.
He had got wind of the . proposedtea
party, although himself and sifters
for obvious reasons had not been in
vited, and he resolved not to risk the
arrival 'of Miss Brown arid, her visit
to Mr. Robinson's before he should
see her. She - would dismiSs her .
school at noon and ccnie the distance
'of a mile and a half round the pond
home. His mind was at once made
up. He would go round and meet
her at the school house, and accom
pany her on her walk. There, in
that winding road around those de-
lightful waters, with the tall and
shady trees overhead, and the wild
grapevines twining round their trunks
and climbing to the branches, while
wild bird were 'singing through the
woods, and the wild ducks playing in
the coves Along, the Shore, surely
there; if anywhere in the world, could
a man bring,his mind up to the point'
of speaking Of love.
Accordingly a little before noon,
Stephen washed incl.binshed. himself
up, and put 'on his Sunday clothes,
and started on his expedition. In or
} der to avoid observation, be took a
baok route across the field,, intending
I to .eome.intOthe road by the pond a

the parlor for the evening. He saw
Stephen and noticed his dress,
and
the direction he was going, and he at,
once smoked the whole business.—
His first impulse was to rush upon
him and demand -that le should re
turn back. But when he recollected
that in the last scratch he had with
Stephen, two or three years• before,
he had S. lit4e2iiorst, of it,. and he in
stinctivelyitood still,' while Stephen
passed' on - -Without seeing him. It
flashed uponlhis mind it once that
thequestion , must, now be reduced 'to a
game of speed. If he could by any
means gaie:the school-house first, he
stiourd-feell'good deal of uneasiness
for i aeNcoequence. Stephen was
wal gikery liesurely, and uncon
scious that: he' was in any &eager of a
competitor . 6n,the couree, and it was
important that his suspicions should
not be excited. Charles therefore re
mained perfectly quiet till Stephen
had got a little . out of hearing, and
then threw down his bushes and, flow
ers and ran to the wharf bele* 'the
store with his utmost speed. He had
one advantage over Stephen. He.
was ready at a moment's warning to
start on an expedition of this kind,
for Sunday clothes were an every day
affair with

These was a, light - Canoe belOnging.
i to . his father lying at the whiirf ; and
1 a couple of stout boys .were there
fishing. Charles hailed them, and
told theta if they would row, hini a
cross the pond as quick as they poSsi
j My could-, he would give them a quar
ter of a dollar a piece. This, in their
'view, was a splendid offer "for . for servi.
ces, and they jumped on board With
' alacrity and 'Manned the Oarh.—
! Charles took a, paddle and :stood in
1 the stern to steer the beat, 'and . help
propel.- her ahead. The 'distance
I
by. water was a little less than by
laud, and although-Stephen had con
--
1 siderably the start of him, he believ
' ed he should be, able to ,reach the
School-house first, especially .if Ste
phen 'should not see MM.' and quicken
his pace. 'ln one.minute after he ar
rived at the wharf, the boat was un
der full Way. The boys laid down to
the 'oars with right:good will, and he
put all his good strength upon the
paddle. They, were shooting over the
water twice as fast as a man could
walk, and Charles already felt sure of
the victory. But when they had
gone about half a mile, they came in
the range of a little opening in the
trees on the shore, *here the road
was exposed to vie v, and there at
that critical . m.ortient, -gas Stephen
pursuing hiS easy walk. Charles'
heart was in his 'Mouth. Still it was
possible Stephen - might not see theM,
for he had not yet looked around.
Lest the' sound of the oars, might
attract his attention, Charles had in
stantly, on coming- in sight, ordered
the boys to stop rowing, and he grasp
ed his paddle with breathless anxiety
and waited' for Stephen again to die-.,
appear. But just as he was upon the
point of passing . behind some trees,
where the boat would be out of sight
'Stephen turned '.is head and looked
round. He stopped short, turned,
square round, and stood for the space
of a minute looked steadily at the
boat. Then
,lifting his hand, and sha
king WS fist resolutely= at CharleS, -as
much as to say. I understand you, he
started into a quick run.
"Now, boys," said Charles, "buckle
to your oars for your lives,
_and *oil
can get to
.the shore SO I can reach'
the school-house before Stephen does,
I'll give you a half of a dollar a
piece." ' -
This Of Coilheadded new life to the
boys, and increased their speed to the
boat. Their little canoe flew over the
water almost like a bird, .carrying a i
white bone in her mouth, and leaving
a long ripple on the glassy ,wave be
hind her. CharldS' hands trembled,
but still he did good execution with
his paddle. Although Stephen upon
the run was a very different thing
from Stephen at a slow walk, Charles
still had strong hopes of winning the
race and gaining hispoint. He seve
ral times caught glimpses of Stephen
through the trees, and, as Well .aa he
could judge the boat had a little the
best of it. But when they came out
into the last opening, where for a lit
tle way they had a fair view of each
other—Charles thought
. Stephen ran
faster than ever; and although he
was considerably nearer the school
house than Stephen was, he still
trembled for the result. They were
now within fifty rods of the shore,
and Charles eppealed • again to the
boys' love of money. .
"Now," said he a "we have not a
minute to spare. - If wegai n the point,
I'll give you a dolls.' a-piece."
The boys Strained' every nerve, and
Charles' paddle 'made, the, water fly
like the tail of a wounded Shark,
Charles urged them again to spring
with all their might, and one of the
boys making a desperate plunge up
on his oar, snapped it in two. The
first pull of the other oar- headed, the
boat from-land.. Charles saw at.bnee
that the delay - must be - fatal , if he de

VIE TIGERS OF THE BATTLE-
FIELD
'11:e present war in Europe brings
into notice a new corps known as the
Turcos. They are natives of Northern
Africa, children of the desert, fearful
to look .upon, with their swarthy
skins,-tiger-like; ey?s, thin faces and
spare forms, rapid in movement as
the And as bold as the
on We subjoin the following graphic
o.Ccpunt of their operations at :the
combat of Turbigo which:is found in
fetter to the Siecle, Wiritten the sth
inst. The writer says :
"I know not whether the Turcos
bad forgotten their cartridges or threw
them in the river as - useless incum 7
brauces, but they rushed towards the
cannon with Ont tiring a„gyn.
An officer who was present, itt the
affair states he never witnessed such
an extraordinary sight. At the sound
of the' bugle the Turcos spread in ali
directions, threw themselves on the
ground, and advanced by bounds more
like tigers than men, 'and at every
leap raised shrill cry, which drowned
the sound . of artill,Ty. They had
scarcely advanced half way when the
artillery men seeing ghat they imag
ined-to be black monsters approach
ing under a fire of - grape., detached
their horses and rode off.
The Turce.Fh:furions. at part of their
redoubled their prey escaping they

dor, and fell lit e, I:? * ateing on the
guns. They killed the gunners; mas
sacred those within reach of their
bayonets, and returned at deullie
quick time with the sevenguns,
which they had taken. T t
he ui;)-e
-rorwas present at this feat of arms,
which forms the pendant of that of
Poiostro. Strange to say they had
only ten killed and a few wounded.
Another correspondent thus writes
of their conduct after the victory.
When the. Austrians ran and the
strife. Was over the spectacle Was not
less strange. The frantic. conquerors
rolled upon the earth, and under the
inspiration_ of some African war song;
they danced 'the most frantic war
dance, arnidst burst of laughter
and frightful Ogee that they startled
even their companions in arms. Some
of them had forced their prisoners to
sit beside them and upon these poor
prisoners at first they glared, as the
lion glares upon its prey and then
with a species of fascination, as if
they pitied the poor Creatiires, now
without the frierins of defence. In
other parts of the field they lay down
upon the ground, exhausted

tied; recovering their strength:
