At night and in the morning he invoked blessings ap> on his friend, and in kindly deedetothe poor and needy, endeared himself to all. The tobies were turned lo his good. A Fortunate Kiss. The following little story by Miss Bremer is, taken from Sartain’s Magazine, For its truth and reality she says she will be respon sible ; ‘ fn the University of Upsale, in Sweden, live'd a young student, a lovely youth, with a great love for studies, but without means for pursuing them. Ha was poor and without connections. Still he studied, living in great poverty, but keeping a cheerful heart, and trying not to look at the future, which looked so grimly at him. His good humor, and good qualities made him beloved by bis young comrades. Once he was standing with some of them in the great square of Upsala, prat ling away an hour of leisure, when the atten tion of the young men became arrested by a very young, elegant lady, who at the side of an elderly one, walked slowly over the place. It was the daughter of the Governor of Up land, living in the city, and the lady with her was the governess. She was generally known for her goodness and gentleness of character, and looked upon with admiration by the stu dents. As the young men now stood gazing at her ns she passed on like a graceful vision, one of them exclaimed : “Well, it would be worth something to have a kiss from such a mouth.” The poor student the hero of our story, who was lookinglotently on that pure and angelic face exclaimed as if by inspiration, “Well, 1 think I could have it” “What!’’ cried his friends in a chorus, “are you crazy? Do you know her?” Ace. “Not at all,” he answered ; “but I think she would kiss mo now, i( I asked her.” “What in this place, before all our eyes.” “In this place, before your eyes.” “Freely.” “Freely.” “Well, if she will give you a kiss in (hat manner 1 will give you a thousand dollars,” exclaimed one of the party. “And 11” “And I!” criedsthreo or four others; for it so happened that several rich young men were in the group, and the bets ran high on so improbable an event; the chal lenge was made and received in less time than wc take to relate it. Our hero (my authority tells not whether he was handsome or plain ; I bare toy pe culiar ideas for believing he was rather plain, but singblarly good looking at the same time;) immediately walked off to tbs' young lady,- and said—“(min fraulein) my fortune is in your hand.” She looked at him in astonish ment, but arrested her steps. He proceeded to stale his name and condition, his aspira tion, and related, simply and truly, what bad just passed between him and his companions. The young lady listened attentively, and, when lie ceased to speak, she said, bfushing, but with groat sweetnesas —“If by so little a thing so much good can be effected, it would be foolish for me to refuse your request— and she kissed the young man publicly in the open square. 1 Next day the student was sent for by the Governor. He wanted to see the man who had dared to seek a kiss from his daughter in that way, and whom she had consented to kiss so. He received him with a scrutinizing brow, but oiler an hour’s conversation was so pleased with him (hat he offered him to dine at his table during his studies at Upsala. Our young friend now pursued his studies in a manner which soon made him regarded as the most promising scholar at the University. Three years were now passed since the day of the first kiss, when the young man was allowed to give a second one to'the daughter of the Governor, as his intended bride. Ho became, later one of the greatest schol ars in Sweden, as much respected for his learning as for bis character. His works will endure forever among the work of sci ence ; and from this happy union sprang a family well known-in Sweden even at the present day, and whose wealth of fortune and high position in society are regarded as small things compared with its wealth of goodness and love.

Hedfteo-expressed hie wish to show me a tiger hunt, outsit that time I had no expecta tion Of vrimessing the epoit About eix months afterwards, however, we met in the Peninsula, and I enjoyed the long wished for opportunity of witnessing the exciting and dangerous amusement. ft waa a bright sunny morning when we set toward, tb© thicket, m, which after being driven from a surrounding jungle, it was spid a magnificent tiger had taken refuge. Our company consisted of the Mayor, a half djttz en brother officers, and myself, mounted upon elephants, with a numerous train of natives on foot, Whose business it would be to start the game from its retreat. We were all armed with rifles, and were confident of sue* cess. The Major howevr coolly informed us that we must) lake our chances of a spriog’of the animal, who, when forced to abondpn his covert, would most likely single out sotqe one of gs lor his leap. We laughed gaily in re ply, and set out. A long ride through the jungle at last brought us within convenient distance to the thicket, and obeying the Major's instructions, wo looked at the state of our rifles, and then gave orders t|> the native hunters to begin. Hitherto all had been careless gayety on our part, but as danger began in good earnest our laughter was hushed, and we sat eilemly waiting the proceeding of our allies on fool. It was not long that they kept us in suspense. Fairly approaching thef thicket, they set up their wild cries, and, finding this ineffectual, they sent their dogs into the covert, urging them forward whh shouts, and now and then pricking them with their long spears. A hoarse growl, or rather scream from the inmost recess of the covert, at ibis moment, betrayed (he position of the game, and con vinced us that the monster was rising from bis lair. We all stood in expectation,: wait ing for his deadly spring., Bui after a mo mentary rustling in the thicket, all was again stilt as if the animal had risen to reconnoitre bis foe, and convinced of the overpowering number, had sullenly retreated to the most impenetrable part of his fortres. Half an hour succeeded in unavailing attempts to dis lodge him, bat save a deep growl at limes from the centre of his covert, there was no evidence of the monster's neighborhood.” “This will never do,” said the Major at length. “We must scorch the fellow out. Hillo. Here, you villains I why havn’t you began it before?” Tlte thicket was of no very great extent, but apparently utterly impregnable. It was an oversight that the lighting of fires had not been attempted before, out perhaps the native hunters had trusted to their mutual efforts to dislodge the monster. Now, however they set about it with alacrity, and in a short time had completely surrounded the royal beast. A scene of intense interest ensued, which every moment became more exciting. The, .shouts of the men, the heavy tread of the ele phants, the heavy crackling of the ruddy fires, and at intervals the deep growl of the enraged monster, awoke in the mind sensa tions of strange delight not unmingled with a consciousness of imminent danger. As the fires became more fierce, the louder and more frequent growls of the impatient beast warned us that be would soon break from his covert, and forgetting everything but his approaching appearance, we grasped onr rifles, keenly fixed our eyes on the thicket, and breathlessly waited bis desperate ■ spring. The banters meanwhile ceased their shouts, the elephants were silently posted in convenient positions, and nothing for a few minutes was heard but the crackling of the fires, and the now quick and angry voice of (he infuriated monster, until suddenly a roar wai heard; a few short rapid leaps followed in (he covert, and instant ly the huge boast was seen sailing through the air, his tail streaming out behindhand his very hair bristling upon him in his rage. Almost simultaneously the Major shouted, “Look out there! Here he is! A quick eye, boys, and a steady trigger!” But before his warning bad reached us the tijjer had alighted on our elephant, and was clinging within a yard of me to the bleeding side of the beast. For o moment, I confess, I was too startled to do anythiag; that ins tant of bewilderment has almost cost mo my life. The situation of the monster was such that my companions were fearful of firing lest they should hit myself—while native spearsmed, dreading the despair ttf the fero cious animal, would not approach near enough to succor me. A second, however, of be wilderment, followed by another of cool, clear, and thinking, and I placed my rifle almost at the heart of the monster and -fired. But at the very instant a frantic movement on the part of the elephant, jerked the tiger so that he partly slipped off, and I saw with horror, that my ball had only grazed (he upper part of his bead, inflaming him doubly without in the least injuring him. 1 should have bad another rifle, but when I turned to grasp it, I saw (hat in (he frenzied struggle of the ele phant to get rid of the opponent, it had fallen upon the ground. I had no weapon left but my hunting knif, and the huge beast was al ready collecting himself ftr another spring. My very blood seemed to freeze within me, and a cold icy shiver shot through my frame. Destitute of firearms, despairing of succor, without the least (park of hope, I resolved, notwithstanding, to make a desperate resist, once, selling my life as dearly as I could.
