Arthur Wesley was a tall well-formed young man of twenty-one, with dark auburn hair, black eyes, a manly expression and gentlemanly air; in short Arthur was hand some, and a general favcrite among those of the fairer sex; Harry Wilber was a rather short heavy set young man, twenty years old, with black hair and eyes, a sweet dispo sition, and rather good looking; withal!, Harry was very intelligent, and always had plenty of friends.' Arthur and flurry were both the sons of wealthy parents, and baring 1-been-tog-ether at Lin-w-eati--Colleg-e-fer-n-et • two months, they had become greatly at• tached to each other, and were nearly always together. when they we r e_nat_renigaged—a—t- Their studies.

'Eh? then we are going to have a holiday ; when does it come ?' continued Harry pleasantly. 'On the 28th of November,' answered Ar thur 'more than a month yet—let MO see this is the 20th; very well we must have fun add ed Barry in apparent satisfaction. • 'Harry, who lives in that flue house yonder?' asked Arthur pointing to a magnificent homestead about fifty yards distant. 4 That is the resi dence of the widow Smith, who lives there in all the elegance of wealth 'and refinement.' 'Ali: she is a widow is she? has she any daughters?' asked the jovial Arthur, who was fgisd of the society of ladies. 'Yes' re plied Harry 'she has a daughter who is only sixteen, and she is most bewitchingly beau tiful too' added Harry pleasantly. '1 would like to become acquainted with her,' remark ed Arthur tYes' replind Harry am well acquainted with her; you - kn - ow I have been about Linwood a great deal in the last three years, and I am acquainted with almost -ev ery family that is of any note, about the place ;"very well friend Harry 'returned Arthur, 'you will introduce me to her some time; will you not?' Yes, Arthur; if op portunity offers, I will introduce you, if you will first promise me that you will not let her steal your heart until you have finished your course of Commercial instruction.' I will promise you II: try; you know that I told you at the opening of the session, that I was not going to have anything to do with love until I was through the course then commenced,"very well Arthur I will intro duce you as soon as an opportunity is afford ed ; but let us be returning to the college or we may be late for recitation,' added Harry looking at his watch ; and the twoez e t,alv ked leisurely toward the college. Linwood Col lege, a flourishing commercial institution, was situated in the western part of Pennsyl vania, near the Ohio river, and had a large number of students. 'Well boys, been hay ing a walk 7' and similar questions were put forth as Arthur and Harry neared the group why were standing in front of the College awaiting the summons to recitation; 'We have been taking a stroll down the river,' answered harry pleasantly, and he and Ar thur were aeon of the group who stood in the old College yard pleasantly conversing `GAI'd morning Gentiemen;"Good morning Professor,' responded a dozen voices.

'Her 'ry, are you ready for our walk down the riv er?' asked Arthur Wesley as he entered the apartment of Harry Wilber. 'Yes,' answer ed Harry pleasantly. I have been wait leg on you. for some time, so let us be off,' and the two were soon on their way with light hearts, for this was their week ly holiday and they were always app . iest when walking by the glittering All go -river in pleasant friendly conversation. 'What day of the month is this 'I asked Arthur hold. ing in his hand a neat white envelope. 'lt is the tenth' answered Harry. This was mailed on the Bth' exclaimed Arthur glan cing•at the date on the envelope. 'Nay I take the liberty to ask who your letter is from ?' asked Harry smiling. 'Certainly you may;' it is from my sister Edith,' answered Arthim ‘Ah ? are your friends all well ?' asked flarry eagerly. 'Yes,' replied Arthur, they are all well and anxious to see_me whey I lia*Cfiriisheif my commercial course.' Ar thur and Edith were the only children of the well kitoven James Wesley, of the firm of Wesley & Rogers whole-sale grocers on F street Cincinnati. James Wesley re sided •in Cincinnati in all the ease and com fort of wealth and refinement. Edith Wes ley was 17 years old, with dark auburn hair which fell in wavy tresses o'er her snow white temples, largo dark eyes, a slender form and profuse, fully developed !mac-- Edith Wesley was a fine singer, and played admirably, and was loved by all who knew her.

What wan that I' cried Arthur cousin , .. I •q• be 7 114 neared Mrs. Smith's house. 'lt sounded like a lady screaming' answered Harry ; and both sprang toward the hank of the river sev eral yards distant : 'My Heavens exclaim ed Arthur;' a boat has upset with a lady I' and quick as thought Arthur plunged into the deep, and after some difficulty succeeded in bringing the senseless form the lady to the shore, and with Harry's assistance , lifted it safely on the bank of the river. Arthur was a good evaimmer, but it would have been madness for Hiirry to have attempted to res cue the lady, as the current was rather swift, and it was only with the greatest difficulty, and by subjecting himself to great danger, that Arthur finally sueeedded in rescuing the drowning lady. 'Harry could not' swim at all, and hence would have arisen his foolish ness, had he attempted it. Harry at once recognized the face hf the lady and told Ar thur that it was the 'beautiful Gertride Smith ;"Is it possible 7' exclaimed Arthur, 'whata lovely creature she is; but Jet us hasten to beat her home, for we can yet re store her to life,' added krthur considerably excited, and the two students bore the in sensible lady to the home of the widowed mother Who was not yet aware of the sad ea._ !amity. When Mrs. Smith beheld the sense. less form of her daughter she was almost over whelmed with grief, iu the paroxysm of which she did not recognize Harry, although she had been acquainted with him. A few neighboring ladies were soon in attendance, and by the usual course of treatment Ger trude soon showed signs of life, and in the course of several hours she had fully recov ered. 'Harry it is almost night; and we had better be going back to College' exclaimed Arthur when their services were no longer needed at Mrs. Smith's. 'Yes,' answered Harry glancing at his waech, let us be off,' and the two etndents were soon on their way to Linwood College unobserved by . Mrs. Smith, who would have pressed them to re main until after tea, had she observed their movements It bad been a pleasant day, and Gertrude Smith had been sauntering along the banks of the glittering river; watching the waves kissing the shore in all the beanoy of innocence; until, foreettine N herself in her girlish love for the grand old stream which she had loved from childeood ; her incline. these led her to take a row down the etreiarn. She had often rowed out on the river, in the sane boar, but the river being high, :he current was rather swift at thet time; yet, not noticing that in her in:niece t love for the ofd stream, she veretarml out ; but she had not rowed fee lentil a heavy floating log struck the heat, ant she was thrown into the hung ry watch?, with a wild per:nine j 'Pit as Arthur and Her: v came up Mrs Smolt learn e 1 in a !etc:a - aye after tic ncaident, that Arthur Weeley mei Harry Wither were the party, who saved. her 11..1nel:ter's life, and she ct as ;lair, as UM ;c fled toot the bad not recog nized Harry at the time; morever, she was ,11:7 417.' 0 f:111C - 122L - -tha h - art , bee - rr-the' metes of her resece, and ale, that he was the per:jet:ler friend of Iferry.

'Yes in a minute' ans wered Harry plenetntly, and the" tete were soon on their way to Mrs. Smith's to spend the evening. The two stedents walked leis urely" along, convpr.ing pleasantly, an d soon reached the superb reension of Elizabeth Smith; Harry pulled the door hell, and a servant soon appeared and mitadwed teem to the parlor; Harry introduced his friend to Mrs Smith and Gertrude, when the lat ter, ad vetoing , held out, her snow white hand to Arthur and pleasantly remarked, - Excuse me Mr Wesley, you have done ins a ser vice which, I can never repay ; accept my most sincere thanks,' "Twee so honer which I eur not Wrrt:iy ens creel Arthne litely hewing. , 'Be seated gentlemen" exclaimed Mrs. Smith, and the little company were soon in ,volved in pleasant conversation. Mrs. Smith was particularly friendly to Arthur and Har ry, and showed her gratitude in various ways. A servant soon appeared 'and notified Mrs. Sthith that tea was in readiness, and' Arth ur and Harry were ushered into the large dining room, and partook of the sumptuous meal which bad been prepared for the occa sion, much to their pleasure. Supper being over, the company retired to the parlor and spent phe remainder of the evening in pleas ing conversation, much to the happiness of each one, but particularly so to Arthur, who was not a' little pleased with the beau tiful Gertrude Smith ; and, could we look in to the heart of this noble lady, a littlt more than the usual 'kind . regard' might be no ticed there. 'The evening had seemed quite short to all, and especially so to Gertrude and Authur,-and - Barry and Autifer - hiVing biid the ladies good night, were on their way to Linwood College, but sot until Gertrude had offered each one her pretty white hand, in token of friendship, and pleasantly invited them to call again. Arthur and Harry walk ed quite fast and were not long in getting back to the College. The two friends bid each other 'good night' pleasantly and retir ed to their several apartments, and _Harry was soon lost in heavy slumber, but Arthur was not disposed to sleep as yot, for he was thinking too much of the lovely form which he had rescued from a watery grave five days before, and be sat .down by his bedside iirrMl r ur a never ove diefore,-and-as-he-tat - by - his - bedsiduall — slone he soliloquised thus : 'Can it be that I am •ave vtrh ertru e .or why does my heart eo yearn for her ?

'As I walked up the road this evening, I met her in a carriage, and she informed me of her intentions' answered Arthur smilingly. 'Harry, I was informed a day or two ago that there was a relation existing between Minnie Seydon and your self, somewhat beyond that of mere friend. ship."Ahl did you my friend ? then you were mis-informed for .there is no relation existing between us, beyond that of friend ship; and what is more I never loved a lady in my life, not. do I'know the defiinition of the word; in feet I cannot realize that such a thing as love exists, and I never intend to become a victim to the tender passion." V ery well friend Harry, wo will see bow your doctrine will hold out' replied Arthur good naturedly ; and the two proceeded 'to prepare themselves for the intended serenade Min nie Seydon, was the daugnter of Thomas Sey don, a wealthy planter who resided near Lin wood. She was seventeen years old, with dark hair and eyes, o graceful form and rath er small of stature ;she was also well educa ted, and possessed all the accomplishments, which the schools and seminaries afforded. Minnie Seydon was, moreover, the particu lar friend of Gertrude Smith, and was ad mired by all who knew her. The two stu dents having fully prepared themselves for the serenade, proceeded toward the superb domicil of Mrs Smith, each carrying a fine rosewood Guitar. They soon halted under the window of the chamber to whie.h Tertrude and Minnie had but lately retired, and the soft sweet notes of the two guitars were noon vibrating on the still night air. They sung a duott 'twinkling stars arc laughing love' which sounded moat sweetly on the still air, and they had not finished it t, when t fain light at the window tohjihem thill they were heard by the fair occupants wit. Arth• or and Harry were pleAmeti a t the reception of this intelligence, and having concluded with sereral Sue , instrumental prodttetions the two were on their way . to the College, folly satisfied with their r•erenatte. 'Harry, thatilotglving day is only a few day% dintant and a'e, have not yet decided how anti where to spend it,' remarked Arthur Wesley to his friend en the next day after their seren ade. •tlentlsmon here is a letter for each ocynu 7 exclaimed i'ruft•sFor Andersen as ho harritily entered the apartment where Dar r/ arid Arthur were sitting in conversation, 'love totters I suppose' added Prof. Ander. . -ma pletoctotly "Mi .

'Yes,' an swered Harry, 'drainer will be at three, and_ I suppose they sre looking for us, so let us be on onr and the tcro started in the direction of Mrs. Smith's house, pleasantly conversing. 'Arthur, I think you have for gotten the promise you-made me' exclaimed I-lorry when they had proceeded but a abort way clpirn the road .

I know little about love, nod take fro interest whatever in such matters.' I thank you Harry, for your good wishes, and in return I hope that, you may ere long find the lady whom you think worthy of your . affections, and having wooed and won her, may enjoy a life of perfect happiuess iu her union: 'Such things are not impossible, but in my case it is hot very likely; however, tho future,reseals_ finny rnystitious events which are not even dreamed of at the present; and we shall see' kidded Harry pleasantly. • The two students wore not long in reach ing the house of Mrs. Smith, and were soon admitted into the large parlor where Minnie Seydon and other hien& of Uertrude - were already assembled. The formal introduc tions took place and the company were at once engaged in pleasant and lively eonvtr sation. The announcement was soon made that dinner was in waiting, and the little party were soon partaking of the rich feast which had been provided, conversing •ail the while on pleasant and interesting topics.— over b.o company retired to enT — doye themselves tire — trlbru, ) versation or the re-maiutior t the evening much to the happineits of all present, and especially was Arthur most hap pily entertained, for he had become piirlij enamored of the lovely Gertrude, and ih conduct of that lady herself. had given him strong grounds for a hope that his loge was not I 'fl n d -- - . 16E7. ne day being we. past, Arthur and Harry, alter having bid tbe ladies 'good evening,' and having been kindly invited to call again, politely bowed, and started for Linwood College, apparently well satisfied with the past events of the day. Gertrude had become quite intimate with Arthur and being aware that he loved her she was rea dy to place all her affections' upon him, for Arthur was handsome and possessed many good_ traits. Gertrude knew that Arthur's father was wealthy, but she did not love him for that, like too-many foolish girls of our day, but for his heart which she knew must be true and noble. The evening of the 6th had come; the examination had 'taken place and Arthur and Harry had both graduated and received diplomas. Theist/dents who had graduated were making preparations to depart -for their homes on tho following morning, and Arthur had determined that before he lett Linwood he wduld declare• his love to Gertrude and ask her to be his wife_i_in -this intention he was ere long on his way to the home of his love. Gertrude was expecting such a move, meat as Arthur contemplated, having learned that he Lad graduated, and accordingly prepared herselt to meet him. Arthur having reached the house and rung the hello' servant appeared and conducted him to the parlor where Gertrude was Fitting all a. lone ; he bowed gracefully and Gertrude appriach. ing Mm held out her snow.vrbite hand ;Arthur took her hand in his and fondly praksing it, imprinted up on it a loving kiss, cDeareat Gertrude' exclaimed Arthur at length 'I love you passionately—with all my heart, and I have come to . ask you to be mine.' Arthur Wesley, you have done me a favor which i can never repay; I love you devotedly; and I. am yours "My own dear Gertrude way you never regret having given your heart tn ono who will ever be true to you replied Arthur passionately, as he clasp ed her to his heart, and impressed upon her sweet rosy lips a loving kiss. Arthur spent the whole evening with Gertrude,- and he thought it the happiest, he had ever passed in his life, and consequently it seemed very short to Arthur, and he was quite surprised when It glance at his watch informed him I that it was the hour in which propriety de. mantled him to take leave of his beautiful inteneed bride and return to the college; theresore he bade her a sad farewe.l and gave tier a pattinc , kiss, And bent his steps toward the College. Gertrune was 4inito sad to part with him for she laved him in all the intim:m.lu of a censer neat ted, confiding woman, yet, hoping to see tutu soon again she comforted herselt, and atter shedding a few tears, zud breathing a prayer to graven for his sArety, she ease soon wraps in tranquil El:Sather.
