Picture'to yourself a solitary canoe
lying Moored in the midwaters of a
great tropical river. - There are now
houses and Levine on the'banks which,
at the time 1 knew them, Were but ver-
dant swamps, broken he're or there by
tiny patch
. of rice-ground, a cluster
of little huts, or the tall dwelling of a
chief. On the evening of which I
speak,len,years .ago, not an European

suddenly down, dark and windy; the
tide was at itg Vilest, and only the
extreme tips of the 'mipas"—that ugly
sister in the graceful family of palms
=rose above the--flood.. llyCatioe.was•
'anchored above their fern-like .crowns,
mid over it and under the stiff, riwk
ward branches thrust therusehies.- The
breeze moaned and whistled among
them, rattling their harsh leaves to
gether. There were as :yet neither stare
nor_moon ; the:clouds-seemed to bang
ainjost on the darbsurfnee of the wnter
which stretched rippled and Bonehing
on either side, till its eddies were los,
in an abyss of vapor. Far off, above
the invisible hank, a 'red light glowed
throimh the ,mist, and the boatmen de
clared that it burned in the house of a
great war chief a mile away. There
was nothing to see through the dull
evening vapors, except thatdistant fire;
nor to hear, except the rustling of the
wind, the bending of the " nipa"
boughs, and the eager but monotonous
socking of the tide.
My boatmen lighted their fire for.
ward. soon it, began to blaze, übder
the fostering of a dozen hands already
numbed with cold. The red sparks
leapt from swirl to swirl of the rivet
timidly, brightened, took courage,
flamed up, and irradiated a wide ex
panse of troubled water. My native
boatmen clustered round their stone
hearth as closely as the narrow sides
of my Canoe would suffer, them A
brave and honest set they were as ever
traveller loved, but most exceedingly
ugly. As they crouched before the fire,
forward, ;their picturesque costumes
and mimltapen features outlined againg
the blaze nod ruddy smoke, I pleased
myself, lying on my Mattress, with
recalling old German stories of gnomes
and goblins, to which strange creatures
my poor - Boatmen ,were curiously like.
But rdon't know thar - in all my wan
derings I ever,felt so utterly alone, so
small a speck on - the„great break of
natttre, as, thatiiikht. I watched the
,-reathing swathes. of mist stalking
over 'tbe- water to my very side. I
listened to. thelurgling oftihe tide, and
its steady "lap" against the gunwale,
and I thought of' times and faces in .
pleasant Europe with it sort of despair

to ask, when another hand, as placed
' upon the gunwale, another•figure came
up suddenly from the 'dark river, and
stepped with .ease::upon my rickety
craft. "The wife, of - the brave chief

Shook hands.-- . -The_wife took a' place

My left hand rested on the gunwale,
- instinctively placed there 'when the
"'brave chief's wife" hoarded,me, to
counteract any ugly lurch which her
unskilfulness might cause. On th's
hand was suddenly placed another, be
longing . evidently to a person outside
my boat. So small and slender were
lhose-fmgers-that-thus-elasPed-anine
so' soft and dainty and delicate,-all
the blood in my body tingled t , for I
thought, surely 'Lis the hand of a mer

'visitor rose from the darkness—rose,
resting its hand still'an oine—rose,and
awed upright before me, framed in tlhe''
velvetyhOck,ness of . the night /It
was the figure bf . a'young girl, sixteen
' years, of age at-moat, which thus stood
uperiddefilrbefore me, sparkling and
shining in the candle-light. She was
I simply clad in a short petticoat of
'woolen stuff, Which didmot quite reach
'to the knee. II er arms and wrists were
encirc'ed with many bracelets ot, gold
and shell. and ornaments of braes ; it
wash crime so to overload them, for
' their shape was worthy of a Hebe.
Round and round her waist a chain of
small gold rattles WBB twisted, *which
tinkled faintly with each 'notion. Her
graceful head had no Cnvering. except
, such coils of fine black-hair its three
MOM) women might with joy have
shared among themselves. The hair
was not parted', but. drawn back from
1 the .forehead, and tied in a smooth - knot,
with a quantity of strongly-scent 'd
flowers • the ends fell in a_ shower be
hind, almost to her waist.- This fash
ion, _which civilized_ ladies . are just
adopting, is the common coiffure of the
land I speak of.' The girl's -features
were perfect - i - fretrt low, round forehead
to dimpled chin ! And wholly Euro
pean in character, save that no eyes of
our zone could laugh with such velvet
softness, nor plead with humility so
it resistible. For this
_young, savage's
.face shown down upon me with dewy
lips parted in a timid smile, and inno
cent, saucy eyes, that said, plainly as
words. "Am 'I not pretty ? You are
a great lord. and almost more than man,
but you cannot refuse me a place in
your canoe I" And all the while she
kept her little soft hand in mine, while
I stared dimly upwards marvelling at
her loveliness. "The daughter of the
brave chief Who lives 'on the next '
reach !" gravely announced edy boat
swain from under the kajongs. .
" The daughter of the brave' chief
•
who lives on the next reach is welcome
to her slave's resting place I" I Raid, '
with an affectation of mighty indiffer,
ence. But the attempt failed, I sus
pect, for my boatmen forward, who
had, like all their race, a true Italian
interest in the minutest kfaire de cmur,
laughed gently as they sat besile their
"fire, and stole a glance 'aft But the
little beauty was too profoundly con
pants of 'her own value, personal and
political, to care one straw for the he:-
pertinence of amere boatmen. She
murmured a few words, in a voice Bret
as the lips from which it issued, and
received a merry answer from her fath
er. Thell she looked down at me with
a joyous ' smile c and, putting her foot
ou the gunwale—Ah ! but I cannot
leave that foot undeecribed Would I

She did not speak ten words all
night. but sat under the shadows Of the
ktjongs and slyly watched me, smiling
from time to time With such girlish
grace as made my very heart stir. Now
and then she laughed at, some unintel

on this. river of her father's took me

entered into a conversation with the

words in answer to my remarks,: and
stood with
_.downcast eyes, the very
image pf innocence and propriety. On
a sudden a rush of warriors took place
behind us, and One burly fellow most
notably excited with strong - drinki"
clasped my companion round the waist,-
andOdashed down the long veranda
with her. "Is that, her brother or
her lover 1" I asked of my [spr a ng,

breathless, her eyes dancing with

taken such' a - freedom On—themselves,-
were nearly as drunk as a wan could,

overwbelmned. -I hastened from the
house, leaped aboard any canoe, and •
Banished down the stream.: I did not
expect to see;.my dusky Ilebe any
more, nor that moment, did I great
ly wish to do so.
But a month after, 'I found myself
once more in her neighborhood, having .
ascended the river again, aboard a na
tive gunboat. - We bad with us a fine,
tall warrior, who gave himself oaths
sort to the 'brave chief' of whom I had
spoken. On making inquiries, I found
this fellow Wee half-brother to my dus
ky liebe Arrived. at the nearest
point to his father's house, I put my!
_-
self in a canoe with him and paddled
up-the stream,- not wholly conscious
of a certain thrill at the heart. We .
reached the spot and landed. The
, old chief sullied out With, Warriors and
'slaveg. It was somewhat touching to
see that recognition of the long-lost
heir, for the youth iu our charge had
' been captured by' pirates long -since
• and reduced to slavery. But 1 looked
still for the fairy form, which, in spite
_6fllll,_bauuted my fancy, She 'came
at length, bothidiog from the Jungle,'
her long hair loosed, and, strcaining to
the-groand, her eyes afire with -eager
, ness and excitement. She threw her
self into her brother's stalwart arms,
nestled to his bosom,, and cried with
girlish vehemence.' And 'when at,
length the first emotion had subsided,
she drew back a little, still encircled
by a loving clasp, to view die stalely
felloW who had been restored to her,,
and then threw herself again upon hia
breast, and—and- 7 _
"Kissed him. Of course !" you ex
claim, my hearer.
Not at all ! Deliberately and
thoughtfully smelt, him all over ! It
Was to much. Ttlo was I disenchan

It will not be necessary to point out
the. more obvious moral ; but there is
4 o,ne which has lately been explained
to me,— myself, the. hero of the story..
I had told it to a lady, much as I have
told it to'you, reader. When --I had
concluded, she remarked, with some
emphasis, "Let me giv,d you a piece of
advice, Mr. Peregriti. Zn telling this
tale again give dates and localities
frankly for fear of misconstruction
And, further, I would recommend you
not to cling_ overmuch to this life, be
low, since, savage or civilized, the
feminine nature shocks your taste.
Perhaps among the real angels you
may- find a non- masculine creature,
lvho powders not, nor brightens her
eyes, nor talks . slang, nor smokes, nor
• loves either waltzing or scent. With
mere earrlhy women of this day your
search would be hopeless !"

A SinfOla r Couple.
The circumstances which, more than
anything else, obtained the dingy- old
town of klexham a lasting place in my
memory- was our tajeing lodging from ,
an extraordinary pair, an old man and
woman, husband and wiie—who lived
by themselves, without children' or ser
vants, subsisting on the letting of their
parlor and, two - bed 'rooms:- They
were tall, thin, and erect, though each , _
seventy, years
.of age. When,„wo
knocked at. the door for • admittance
they' answered together ; if we. rang
