I); friend, ddlin Osborn -= we' always eall-.
ed bim Jack--trait as poor as a church mouse
when became out of pillege..lie would have
studied a' profession, if be bad had the
of doing so, but !lie-was, deeply in'debt, and,
being 'an tionesttuan, he had a strong anti
tfiy to incorriog liabilities which might new
lir be discharged. He determined, therefore,
to get tt xelmicil; and teach long enough 13
get out of debt, and lay up money enough to
enablehim.io become a lawyer:_
JaCk was a dreamy fellow, rather 'fond of
Tie
in impracticable moonshine, and it.
.be had Mil Men; so poor, be,would have been
a decided sentitnentalist. As it was; . he
managed in sopmore year, to fall in. love i
with the datightpr of a country clergyman,
with whOin *he boarded while teaching the
winter term of the-district shoot. Rosa was i
a sweet girl, ;!have , even better authority
for the statement than Jack himself,) and she ,
was full dry . " , and sentiment. She loved I
nature, sbe usiii,to say, in its wildest and I
rtidest a•pect. She loved—old ocean with its
r e aring billows , ; its temptestA. and its gales.
And yet in spite of all thasel fanc'tP, whit it
were certainly against her, Rosa had a vein
of good practical .Common sense, which her
friends declared', Would develop itself after a
yeator two orclese contact with. the stern
realities of the "World. -
Jack obtained a very good situation as
master of an -annual school, near. Boston,
which paid _hinij. a salary of eight near.,
dollars a year. die had, no bad habits, in
fact he had no habits at all. He never had
any money to ,indulge in
. habits; fie only
ate, drank and slep very sparingly, and 'wore
the plainest clotfits that society would tole!,
ate. He' 'never Arent to a concert,. a play,
or traveled, excePt to the home of. Rosa, and
as that was only ; t*elve - miles. distan, he *al
ways walked. lit a word, he neverspent a
.anny except foilibe*oecPssaries of life; But •
was not petitirious. The weight Of his
pecuniary obligaiions pore down so heavily.
upon him, that it seemed like robbing his
creditors to spend a dollar for any luxury.
Two yea s paid off his debts, and deposited
two hundred dnllais in the bank - towards
paying for his 'Proresiion ; but, when the
school closed at .that time , the poor fellow
was all worn out, and sully reduced in health.
I preVailed upon him, under these circumstan
ces to join a party of gentlemeu who bad
Charters 1 a aphooner for . a fortnight's cru as
on the coa , t.: The exPense.was light s and the
benefit Promised lo • Lid eery great. Besides,
Jack had been- brought up in a seaport town,
and was passionately enamored of boats" and
of everything tliht related to the alt. He
dOuld handle a Vessel as skilfully as though
he had been a.isailor all the days of his life.
After cruising lin the coast for a week, du
ring which titne !Jack gained ten poands'
flesh, we came to anchor off a s group of islands_
a few miles from the main shore.. My friend
was fascinated sil l th 'the life led by the hardy
'fishermen there, and declared that if lie was
able be s :wouliAsettle upon an island in the
sea, and spend the rest of his davathere.
" Fuge, Jack; ! You would do ,nothing of
be kind." .1 -
"trpon rriy word I would! NoThirig would
suit better, and for such a life [ would.
willingly
.saarifice 'all the hopes .of future
wealth and distinliition which I have cherish:
eel, and all the. laitivies of ciVlliied life, which,
I expect to be able tome day
..to purchase,"
he replied with erithusiaiin.

"But I am sincere. That istand.would jaw.

Something called me:away from• him ju=t
then, hut I noticed an hone - afterwards that
he:skis - mill gazing with &kind of rupture at
the island, and - no:doubt picturing to bitnself
the joys of inch a: borne as he had described
t me.• •
At thelime appointed ree returned home,
delighted with the cruise. Jack Wis very
much improved it health and strenglit,' . and
resumed his Jabots in school . With renewed
vigor. I saw no mine of him for nearly a year,
during wichsperind I was the South. On
my arrival at 13Oston, leaimed that 'Jack
bad rerigned his situation, six months bifore,
and left the State. !!I ivent!to the place where
he bad boarded, h'ut the people had no in ,

Elating a vacation of a month, I determined
to hunt him up. ,1 immediately repaired to
the home.of his intended. and learned, to. my
further astonishment, that Jack had been
married over a Month, and was then taking
his bridal tour. • .

I could, not irabgine what he meant by
.I.bille:lOnsinotis words, for .I had. entirely; for
.getten about Jack's crotchet in reward to .the
tts
.island home.
"1 hcipe Jack is nut too much ciated . by'his

.." Oh, no ; he bears his improved condition
with tneeknets and . propriety - ; "but he has t'a

- 1" Indeed? • I. knew be bad a whirn . of this
kind.in his bead." • -
j "I suppose by this time his nevi home-is
'ready for his reception.." •
I was amused at the - idea; and -at .once - de;
tertnined to - visit , the. island. Mr. Murdock
invited to remain at his honsetill.Jack's
return,and I accepted his hospitality.
The next day Jack strived.. He was de
lighted to see me, and for two. hours •he re 7,
hearsed ithe particulars.of his scheme :upon
WhitecliCas•he 'called- his island. It was
the vision DA n drearher, and already coat- -
miserated him. in the disappointment I was
confident he would experience.
` As Rosa wished to spend a week with her
parents.before her departure for. Whitecliff,'
I promised 'to niest.Jack at and ac
company them to lhei? new home. At the
appointed time Jack and his. wife arrived.
Hve you seen my boat ?" askedihe, ten
minutes'after his artival:.. -
" No; where.is she?" • -
.• "She is moored in the river. Come—while
Rosa it - getting ready for the trip, we-will go
ddivn and have her hauled in tulle wharf." •
A walk of a feW rnihut4s brotigt us to th - e:
wharf, near which was,anchorerl'my friend's,
little schooner.: She was a beatifulboat, ands
I expressed my adniiration with itlthe'en
thusiasm of an old Waimea.
"She is a perfect beauty. :What is Ire;
. •
name ?" •• .
.•
"The Rosa."
Ity this time, the man in charge of her, an
.old fisherman whom Jack had employed,
paints ashore in the dory and. took us on
•hoard. -- She was a spenilid little craft, of
about fifteen tons btitolen, sharp. -enough on
the-bow to- - shave with, , and clean enough
under the counter to; ive in a parlor. She
had a tidy little cabin aft, 'in whith 'were
two bertha, a diningltable, and lockers in
abundance. Forward there was atceok-stove
anci hale f•corlati.
• ".Mv wife will go a fishing with. us, you
* see," continued Jack,. "and we shall have
everything comfortable on board." -
"I am afaid it Witl-soon be an old story to .
you and to-her; and you will wish-yourselves
in e more civilized region.", • j.
"Never fear that. I have got - my cottage
on the island fitted up with every thing that
heart could desire, 'just us I told you I-Should .l
it.".
r .
You'will want oniety."
' " No;" Rosa and . I will be company for
each other."
1 slic,ok my bead, and
next
to .be . con
-rinced. I gave Jack till next spring to get
enough of the island. We hauled up to the
wharf, and in half ap hour Was standing
down the river before a fair wind:• 'Rosa was
enripturi3d with the catch, and 'Pie prospect
hsfore her. Jack was at the belcu,'and Itosa
and I went down-into the cabin to see how it
would seem, :is idle expressed it. such a
sweet little cabin ! Ilqw_ happy she should
be to go out fishing with her lifisband and 'the
rough old - salt, who was smoking his pipe at
.the .hepl of the •bowsprit ! Wouldn't she have .
nice times !
I do love the Seri, Bob"--that was what
Jackal ways culled' me=" and I shall be-'as
happy as tho day is lopg."
' " You wilt swirl got used to.it, and it will
loose it., novelty, and be shorn of all its sub.:
Bulky."
" Never:Bob!. Varn in love with the sea
—the wild, roaring -ocean!" •
Just Oren :the. schooner pased a rocky bluff,
and shot out into the. open sea. The wind
was blowing fre.sh• from pie sou theakt., aqd the
tide running &it, which made an ugly chop
sea. The It isa leaped up, and than .gave a
lee lurCh, upsetting a pitcher of wateron the
cabin- table. • The fair.mistresl'of the beaiitis
ful braft, having never tieen on the, water be
fore, did not exactly comprehend this move.
thent of her namesake, and 'seemed to t - hink
all was not right.-
" Do you think there is any danger,lloll.r .
she asked,-
"Not in the least: 'Jack is at !.he b'eltn."
"Pray tale me by on deck. How..-the
hciat rocks., It makes midis:x . l , 2'
I a.sisr - ed her up the companion ladder,
and placed her-in the standing room, by the
side of her husband. The scehe on (deck was
inspiring, for 04 Rosa was lining her Titetinst,
and the spray thrshed over heir as thought she
had been the g.3nina of ,
0 I am afaid, Jack," said %so.
There .i 4 nothing - to ftar. We shall be
over to the Island in an hour if Ibis b.reeze
`holds,”replied Jack. •
But if was' no use to encourage her, for,
in ten Minutes mere, 'she fray- so. sick she
could not hold up her head, and begged Jack
to put back. Calling . Pliny,• the fisherman,
he gave him the - helm, and. made a bed for
ber on deck. She kept growing worse, and
for the first time, Jack seemed to g et an ink
ling of the reality which Ras .to follow his
splendid vision. Rosa-would the - a pretty
persOn to 'go a fishing with her husband.
But she would - get used to it, Jack thought.
In less tfian an' hour, the Itosa came to-an
chor, under the lee of the island. The wife
'revived a little, as the schooner swung round,
and asked how. she should get ashoie. The
dory was pointed out - to her, but- nothing'
could .induce her to go` over. tbe side into it,
till the night came on, but 'at last she we;
wifely landed, and Jack was happy -again. •_
The 'COttage was. certainly a . very Pretty
residence,.and worthy my friend's taste'. :Rosa
revived again , and became : as cheerful
ever, though' she sleclard she would n‘ser
get int,o a boat again as -long as she tired.
She was willineto Admit that' the bhunding
billow's were not so . poetical , on close , no
quainiance,:as they bad beertm4 thh'pages of.
the poets. '
• -
We spent a very pleasant evening ou.tbe
island. The enthusiasm of the'young couple
rather increased. thsia, diminished, and both
were suns that the ieiperfinent would be a
success : 'The .- next day we were to go, a
