'Arthur what say yott to a walk down by
the river this fine morning? it is yet three
quarters : of an hour before recitation,' con
tinued Harry Wilber glancing at his watch
'and a little exercise will do us good!—
'Thank you friend Harry I am never so-hap
py as when enjoying a walk' by the river-side
with such a jolly companion as yourself; be
sides the sun shines brightly this fine au
tumn morning, and I think nothing is more
beneficial to students like ourselves, than a
walk in the fresh air, whereby wo may ad
mire the beauties of nature, when in the
beautiful sunlight of the morning all riature
seems to smile; but lekus be off that_we do
not be late for recitation,' and the two friends
were on their way for a stroll down the riv
er. 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

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

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

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

was situated in the western part of Pennsyl
vania, near the Ohio river, and had a large
number of students. 'Well boys, been hay

forth as Arthur and Harry neared the group

awaiting the summons to recitation; 'We
have been taking a stroll down the river,'
answered harry pleasantly, and he and Ar

the old College yard pleasantly conversing
`GAI'd morning Gentiemen;"Good morning

'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

thur and Edith were the only children of the
well kitoven James Wesley, of the firm of
Wesley & Rogers whole-sale grocers on F

which fell in wavy tresses o'er her snow

Edith Wesley was a fine singer, and played
admirably, and was loved by all who knew

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.

dining room,
and partook of the sumptuous
meal which bad been prepared for the occa

over, the company retired to the parlor and
spent phe remainder of the evening in pleas

each one, but particularly so to Arthur,
who was not a' little pleased with the beau

to the heart of this noble lady, a littlt more

which the schools and seminaries afforded.
Minnie Seydon was, moreover, the particu

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

course at Linwood College.' +Certainly I
will Arthur, and I wish you abundant suc

graduate in a few days, you will not be sat

Harry, for your good wishes, and in return
I hope that, you may ere long find the lady

admitted into the large parlor where Minnie

already assembled. The formal introduc

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.

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
