institution form e lonely anti quu t
town of Pass tianstian, noted flr its bal
my climate. the beauty of its saltation, 1:s
handsome residences, amd the wealth to ri
refinement of Ms eitizeim.
Tu the young ladtes' iteadmb-s and
military institutions of Pass Chris!tan,
many of the nealthy planters were wont
to send their daughters and sous to be
educated : and as the pupils 01 the re
presentative in.:Motions would meet, in
their daily promenades, many admiring
glances would be exchanged between
them, and longings felt to become ac
quainted-
Among the lair pupils of the Lake
Academy none were more beautiful than
Rosa Verner, the sole heiress to all of her
doting father's cAton estates, situated
upon the .Jiisiss - ppi river. A shower of
golden earls fell upon her shoulder. Blue,
dreamy eyes, a bright smiling face, and a
graceful form, added to a disposition of
the truest womanly sweetness, made the
young girl of fifteen particularly attract
ive to all who knew her.
' Slany a handenme cadet from the mili
tary academy had fallen in love with the
bewitching beauty at the first giluce frc in
her heaven lit eyes; but t) Ho one did
she show '2 preference, when meeting at
the soirees and the receptions given by
the different schools.
One of Rosa's greatest, though silent
admirers, was Edward Griffith, the son
of a Mis4issippt planter, whose estate lay
adjoining, that of Mr. Verner; hut be
tween Mr. Verner and Col. Griffith there
existed great bittvriless, and for years die
families had not spoken, though meeting
constantly in soei.d intercourse at the
houses of the neizhhorint; planters.
The feed commenced long rars be
fore, when Mr. Veraer and Col. Griffith
were rivals for the hitnd of Edward's
mother. Col. Griffith had won her, and
his success so enrag.d Mr. Verner that
he challenged his snecessful rival ; a duel
followed, and in this encounter Col. Grif
fith came off victorious, severely wound•
ing his adversary.
Since that day neither bad spoken to
the other, and all interchange of friendly
intercourse between even the negroes up
on the plantations was finiiidden.
Meeting once at Pass Christian. though
Rwsu could not but see that Edward Grif
fith admired her, and that be felt that
she was not indifferent to his gaze, both
were governed by the remembrance of
the feud existing between their parents,
and gave no sig,n of the recognization td
the other's feelings.

Toward the close of a lovely summer's
day, in the year that this story opens, the pupili of the Lake Institute had gone
down the long pier leading out into the
lake, to the bath house of the institution.
Soon a merry, petty of damsels were
splashing about in the water, riding the
breakers, and chasing each other - about
in glee,
It was a pretty sight dressed as they
were in their various colored bathing
stall; and a handsome youth of twenty

Pass Christian Military Academy, paused
and gazed upcin. the lovely scene. Stadde.3-

regardless of the cries of the freightened
girls bounded headlong into the water.—
Vigorously did he breast the waves, and
soon overtook the fair girl, who was no
bly struggling to sustain herself above
the waters, for she was a fair swimmer.
Soon he came nearer ; and seeing th
help was at hand, her courage forsook her,
and she sank beneath the waters, while
shrieks of distress from the shore showed
her that her companions believed her
forever lost. With a deep dive the youth
succeeded in catching hold of the drown
ing girl, and with renewed strength start
ed shoreward.
Bravely did he struggle, and at last he
felt that he would reach the shore, for
when almost at the bath house two of
the professors bad run down to the
scene, and swimming out a few yaids
had relieved the tired youth of his pie
cious burden.
Withouta word, the young man turn
ed once more away, and, to the surprise
of all, commenced to swim down the
coast. In vain did they call to him from
the shore ; on he swam, and night com
ing rapidly on, he was no longer visi

After continuing slowly, and with slow
and stetidji Stroke down the coast, the ca
det swam towards a pier that projected
some distance into the lake, and then
threw himsolf. greatly tatiguetl, from the
water. Looking around him to see_that
he wan not watched, he waked rapidly
up the pier, and struck off across the
Gelds for the Academy. Arriving there
he sought his room, and reached it un
perceived, where he hastily changed his
clothing.
Before descending to the study hall
to join his fellow students, he drew fr o m

had thrown aside, a long golden curl,

Riding slowly along the road are two
iwrsons, a. lady and gentleman upon
horseback. Earnestly they are conversing
tog&ther, and then the maiden draws rein
and rests her gloved hand upon her com
panion's arm.
"Edward here you most leave me, and
forever. It is hard to give you up. but
my father will iiever forgive and forget
the past, dearly as he loves me. I cannot
again meet you. This morning he dis
covered our secret interviews, and forbade
me over again to see you ; and upon your
return home. you will find a bitter letter
from him, demanding my letters. You
know how dearly I love you, and vet you
know we must part. Good-bye, Edward,
and that Heaven may protect you will ev
er be my prayer.'
And bright diamond tears rolled down
the beautitul face of ll,tsa Venter. and
fell upon the roadside.
•I will not nrge you to disobey your
father, Rosa. I have loved you since, as
a little girl, I used to see you dashing
about on your little pony.
When at the Pass at school, I loved you
more dearly; and how I blessed kind fate
that threw us together, untrammeled by
the presence of our parents, when you
came up the river a year ago on the
steamer. Then I kit that you controlled
by life's happiness, and dearly have I en
joyed our stolen interviews. Now all is
over, and we must part. I will do as Your
father asks me in his letter—return all you
have sent me. Rosa, my own darling. good
bye !"
Thus the lovers parted ; and while Roca
returned to her father's plantation a mile
down the river, Edward Griffith 'card
his horse into a cotton field that bordered
the river bank, and darted away in the
direction of his own home, for death had
laid his father in the grave, and he was
master and owner of the large estate.
Arriving at his own door, a negro mes
senger from the Verner plantation await
ed his arrival, and presented him with a
letter. Filtering his library, he broke
the seal, and his brow darkened as he read
the contents.
'For her sake I will forbear, and for her
sake I will return her letters--,very little
memento of her love ; yes, all.'
A few moments after, the ebony mes
senger rode away, bearing in his hands a
small package addressed to 'William N''er
ner. Esq., Sunny Side Plantation?
Mr. Verner was pacing the broad ver
andah that encircled his handsome resi•
deuce. A stern, haughty man, his brow
was darkly clouded, and his eyes wore an
angry expression, as ever and anon he
glanced down the 4venue, as in expectan
cy.
'hat at last I hope he has not dared
to refuse my demand ; if so—' •
And he grasped the -package held out
to him by the negro boy.

Upon a card attached, he read :

One moment he glanced at the card,his
face changing with ' the emotions that
swept over him, and then he cull_d out to
the retreating messenger, 'Rub rt, come
here.'
The negro again advanced.
'ltc.utit your horse, and return at once,
and quickly, to Griffith Mauer. Present

And while the messenger started away
at lull speed, Mr. Verner continued his
walk up and down the verandah.
Au hour bud not passed when Edward
Griffith rode up to the door, dismounted,
and ascended the broadsteps,wearing upon
his face u puzzled expression at his strange
and unexpected summons to Sunny
Side.
Advancing towards him, Mr. Verner
extended his hand, while he said,in a firm
voice, 'Edward Griffith, I never believed

Putting up a stove is not so difficult in
itself. It is the pipe that raises four-fifths
of the mischief and all the dust. You
may take down a stove Myth all the care
in the world, and yet that pipe won't come
together again us it was before. You find
this 'out when you are standing on a
chair with yourarms full cf pipe arid your
mouth full of soot. Your wi'e is stand

her to see you, the pipe and the chair, and
here she gives utteriume to those r, marks
that are calculated to hasten a man into

But she don't lose her patience. She goes

You don't see it anywhere. You stare in
to the pipe along the mantle, and down
on the stove, and off to the floor. Your
wife watches you, and is finally thought
ful enough to inquire what you are look
ing after, and on learning, pulls the arti
cle from her pocket. Then you feel as if
you could go out doors and swear a hole
twelve feet' square through a block of
brick buildings, but she merely observes:
"Why on earth don't you speak when you
wan•t anything, and not stare around like
a dummy." When the part of the pipe
which goes through the walls is up, she
keeps it up with her brooks, while yon are
making the connection, and stares ut it
with an intensity that is entirely uncalled

down on your head kith its load of fried

enough to discharge your feet, and you

There is n little romance going the
rounds zbout Richard Farqualiar Ding:e

and his wife Mary, The account of th ,

England, before they came to the new
world to court furtuue. Dick Dingle and
his w fe were both blondes, and Bob
Moore and his wife were browns, and
both women were beauties of their rr spec-.

in the same ship, but they came about the
same time, and they did not know each
other: Dick Dingle and his platy win:
went to Petroleum mtr . Petinsvlvania
with a capital of, *l,OOO, which was soon
sunk in oil wells—all but 8400. Dick di
vided this sum with Phmbe and started
out alone for Argentine Republic to re

He struck a good strew. of WWII% kick.

which he sent, to Phirbe, and which she
duly received. This reconciled her to her
husband's absence for the time, but she
heard from him no more for some years,
and she began to regard him as dead.—
The tact is he was living t
life in South America, is
forgotten his blonde wife, though he car
ried her picture.
Bob Moore and his brunette wife had
also a comfortable capital when they ar
rayed in this country, and lost some of it
in unfortunate speculations. Bob left
Mary in Rochester, N. Y., and went to
South America full of golden visions. He
promised to write to his wife soon, but
never did, and was not lucky In the Ar

and Bob Moore met, and both were vaga
bonds, in a strange country, without mo
ney or friends. They joined their fortunes
and told 'each other the story of their
lives. There was a remarkable similarity
between them. They both had pictures
of their wines, and, strange to say. cam,
went into raptures over the other's pic
ture and cured very little for his own. 111
a mad freak vagabond Dick and vagabond
Bob exchanged the pictures of their
wives, and some luck appeared to come to
them afterwards. They were fast friends
and uocumulated . some money, and began
to behave themselves better. It was seven
years since Dick Dingle had written
to his wife, and one day Owns tit of repeu
knee he wrote her a letter encloshig 81,-
000, and asking her to join him 111 : outh
America as soon as possible. In the mean
time she had remoyed from Petroleum to
Philadelphia, but the letter and money
found her after a long delay.
As Dick had waited the prorer time,aud
heard noth.ng from his-wife, he began to
feel uneasy, and one day resolved to return
to the 'Unite I States to hunt her np. He
started from Panama on the English
steamer George Watts, for the United
tkates on Friday, tin. 7th day of June
last, while his wife sailed from New York
Gtr the Argentine Republic the next day,
saturday, June stb. Dick went to Pe
trotuim Centre, thence to Philadelphia,
but could nut find his wife or hear any
thing of her. He then went to New
York, resolved to take the next pa2ket
fur South America to join Bob Moore.—
But something evearred to preYeat the
voyage. He got on a little bit of a spree
in new York and happened to stumble
into a store on Broadway to buy some
trifling article. There, behind the COUli
trr, lie SAW a handsome brunette whose
face looked chat mingly familiar. He was
not mistaken; it was she, and the picture
he carried proved ir. The acquamtauce
ripon. , d.. Mary had sought and obtained
a divorce from Bob Moore for desertion,
and was free and lovely and still young.
Dick Dingle told the story of his wife's
disappearance, and the couple resolved
that sho must be dead. so thoso two, got
married and are now living happily in
Brooklyn
-
Plimbe Dingle ploughed the deep to
join her recreant but repentant husband,
in the Argentine republic. She was
doomed to disappointment, but she found
B•.ih Moore, and Bob showed her the pic
ture which lie had received from Dick
Dingle himself,bnt he did not tell her the
whole story. In fact it is uncertain what
Bob did say to the beautiful woman who
had come so far to find a husband and
failed, but it is quite certain that those
two got married in a very short time, and
now lire in good style in Cordova city,
Argentine Republic. A real blonde is
a variety down there, and she makes a
sensation when she rides out every eye
ning on a beautiful palfrey. It is, per
haps, just as well as it has fallen out,
These two singular couples aro too far

Now, such a woman as that does not need

A GOOD anecdote is told of a
kuown vagabond, who was brought be
