MY FIRST LOVE

ten waited upon her a day without feeling the
least fatigue; and ght nay dreams were full
~1 her I don't think that she was wholly in
..,ensible to my devotion, but it seemed a matter
of amusement and eurio.ity to her.
remember, one day.--oh: how should L for
get it: for it. formed r strong link of evil in my
unhappy destiny—that I was sitting on the bank
of the river, making toss-how for my pretty
young lady out of a tough piece of
, ash—fur she
waited t , i play at ..11 , ...ting at a mark, and she
and Muster Walt, r H, r.• sitting beside me wari It

Wellington bent him But great as the Duke
is, Miss Ella, he was a boy once—a soldier of
fortune, as I shall be—and who knows hut that
I may win as great a name."
"It is a good thing to have a fine conceit of
one's-self," said the provoking girl "And what
would yon like to be, Noah?' she cried, with a
playful smile, and turning her bright, blue eyes
on me. "An Oliver Cromwell at least, as be
was a min of the people; and you seem to have
as good a headpiece as my valiant brother."
"I wish," I said with a sigh, which I could
rvpress; "that I were a gentleman."
Perhaps you are as near obtaining your
as Walter is. And why, Noah, do you wish to
b.• a gentleman? Yon are nineh better off, if
1 1 only knew it, as you . are."
shook my head
"4 'ow answer Inc.
-Indeed, Miss Ella, 1 cannot "
"You can, auk shall."
I looked earnestly into her beautiful fart.
"Oh, Miss Ella, can yon ask that?"
"Wby not? Your reasons, Mr. Noah--your
f•
reltlollll.
My eyes sought the grOund I felt the color
glow upon my cheeks, and I answered in a voice
trembling with eniotion--,l , Beeause if I were a
gentleman, Miss ells, I might then hope that
you would love me, and that I might one day
ask you for my wife."
The young thing sprang from the mund as if
stung by a viper, her eyes flashing, and her
cheek crimson with passion. "You are an im
pertinent, vulgar follow," she cried. "You dare
to think of marrying a lady! Yon, who have
not even fortune to atone for your plebeian
name and tow origin! Never pn.sume to speak
to me again!"
She swept from us in high dungeon. Her
brother laughed at what he termed a funny joke.
1 war silent, and forever. The subject was the
most important to me in life. That flash of dis
dain from the proud, bright eye—that haughty,
sarcastic curve of her beautiful young rip, had
annihilated it. Yet her words awoke a strange
idea in my mind, that finally lured me on to de
struction. They led me to imagine that the
want of fortune was the only real obstacle be
tween me and the attainment of my proscnopha
ous hopes--that common as my name was, I only
required the magic of gold to esoble it; end proud
as she was, if 1 were but rich, even she would
condescend to listen to me, and beeome mine.
From that hour Mims Ella.walked and talked
with we no more. I saw her daily . at the hall,
but she never cast upon me a pass ing glanoe;—
or if chance threw us ia the ewe path, she_al
yap turned disdainfully away. The distance
which every hour widened between us only
served to increase the passion that consumed me.
I tried to feel indifferent to her scorn—in-fact,
to hate her, if I %mid; but my efforts in both
cases proved abortive.
Shortly after this conversation, Mr. Walter
joined the army, and Miss Ells accompanied her
mother to Fance to liaish her education; and I
was placed uisder the head Gamekeeper, to learn
the art of detecting snores and catching poach

I ied to tear her image fa oat Loth. Vain effect!

nine of years could not be effaced by the delse

I gaw her many times during that visit to the
[fall; hut, beyond raising my cap respectfully
when she passed me, no word of recognition ever ,
escaped from my lilts. Once or twice, I thought,
from her manner, and the earnest way in which
she regarded me, that she almost wished me to
speak to her.
Her horse ran awe> with her one morning in
the park, and she lost her twat, but received no
serious injury. I caeght the animal, and helped
her to remnant. Our eyes me t, and s h e bl us h e d
very deeply; and her hand trembled as it lay for
a moment in mine. Trifling as these circum
stances were, they gave birth,,at the time, to the
Most extravagant hopes, which filled me with a
sort of ecstacy. I almost feeeied that she loved
me—she, the proud, highborn, beautiful lOdy- -
Alas' I knew little of the coquetry of woman's
nature, or that a girl of her rank and fixtune
would condescend to notice a poor lad like me, to
gratify her own vanity nod love of asimimtios.

that night I dreampt I found a vast snot of gold
beneath a pine -tree in one of the plantations, and
that Ella Carlos had consented to become my
wife. My vision of happiness was,
however,
doomed to fade. The next day Mrs. Carlos and
her ion and dinghies left, the Hall, and I did not
pee her again 'before she went.

affected to laugh, I strode on by hie side ni si
