Constant exposure had given firmness and elasticity to her Bmbs. No wonder, then, though but seldom seen,,and still arm seldom addressed, she was deemed the belle of the but- rounding country. Ramblers among the hills had noticed the latr cottager, and became tnmtuated with her beauty and nairdte end even become suitors for her hand; but they bad all been lejpulied.. The bold, and adventurous she disliked for the aHMeness whjoh generally characterized them. Few of the diHerent characters who constantly visited her, did she trouble herself to.notice. Of this .latter number the most prominent wU Thomas Olfford, a young lawyer, who had opened his office in the village, Educated In an eastern university, and naturally era retired cast of mind, OlfTord had alwayB avoldod the world, ■M lived only with his books; consequently, hut a part'of his character had as yet been developed. In his eyes, the beautiful - young cottager was the type of what the philosophers had long Mnght'ttffind, and he determined to obtain the reality of the child freshneas,.while they conlj only conceive the ideal He therefore resolved to amend his deficiencies In her ojes. and his ■aiUulhe nature' hoped Ihe rept ' ' •JJM.Heath' looked upon marriage as a necessary evil which one OTghtto endure some time, anil he was determined that none' but a man after bis own heart should possess his daughter, and thei analiueatlons' necessary, In hla«yftw, were strength and agility In manly sports.

A painted nail was partly driven into a tree. The heroes of the other exercises made trial, but were wide from the nail's head. The stranger'rubbed his hands, and, seizing, the rifle, took rapid aim.. The nail, was driven into the tree. The un- known marksman once more fired; the nail's bead was bent double. This was mors than the rival, who was :So other than young Wilson, could bear, and he walked off. All-congratnlations were offered the lnoky victor. Old Gabriel Heath placed the hand of the reluctant Helena In his; but she, stm treasuring the memory of him whom she had so much ad- mired, and whined opened her mind to the world of intellectual beauty, remonstrated against her father's choice to no purpose. For awhile the victor visited the abode of the hunter, ohatted with him, and walked with the daughter. Theytalked long and fervently together, and he spoke in glowing terms of his love for her. She started at this, for the Image of $er lost lover seemed to rise and rebuke her. ' 'Ton love another, then?" said he. Bemember that I won you by my prowess." - . These words, in some tones, might have made her indignant; but now they only-tended to dissipate her reserve, as she re- plied:— "What you have said la true. I owe the richest and deepest debt to another, who translated to me the mysterious teachings of nature. I ought to love him, and though he is forever lost to me^yet while I exist, I will live for no other but him." while -she was thus speaking, the hunter was regarding her with the. same curious expression, which hardly became a re- jected lover." She was turning from him, when he-detained her, and said: (This was the young lawyer, Olfford, was It not ?'.' "It was," she replied, looking in hit face, where the smile had settled into anxiety. "Blessings on you for that word 1" he oried; "I am the long tost one—the rescued and the redeemed I" It was Indeed young Oifford, who, through an unseen and mysterious Providence, had not been drowned, but was saved from a watery grave by a fisherman, whose kind care had re- stored him'to Ufe and strength. He told her how he had returned to the village 'Just In time to hear of the wager of prowess for her hand; and, confident that he should be brought to her again, he dissembled himself, and Ced the victory. It is needless to say that the Joy of meeting „ , °', Hhon i ne Bm ?P°.f a himself the murderer, was so great that Wilson thought bot little of the refusal that he ultimately received from Helena. He could hardly believe hla eyes until the generous Olfford took his hand, and faithfully promised never to reveal the circumstances of the boat ride, and forgave him for his rashness. ' \ The two rivals were rivals no longer, and Olfford lived with the lovely daughter of Gabriel Heath during many years of ha> /pines*, and, successful in business and generous in thought he -was the pride of the village; •-•"— ■j2H!' : -&Z£$SL *?,? » >hI1M, «' Wilson; who, after the decease jrf.old Gabriel Heath; Was, the-quotation of his pioneer friends.

During the campaign of the Duke of Wellington, which ended with the battle of Waterloo, Sir John Waters was much employed by the Duke on secret service.. As a spy he . was unequalled owing to his Ingenious escapes and ruses. He was on one occa- sion entrusted with a very difficult mission by the Duke, which he-undertook effectually to perform, and to return on a partic- ular day with the Information that was required. Oreat woe the disappointment when it was ascertained beyond a doubt that :just after leaving the camp he had been taken prisoner before he had time to change his. uniform. Such, however, was the case • a troop of dragoons had Intercepted him, and carried him off : -and the commanding officer desired two soldiers to keep a atriot watch over him and carry him to head-quarters. He was of course disarmed, and being placed on a horse, was, after a ehort time, galloped off by his guards., He elopt one night under durance vile at a small inn, where he wae allowed to remain in the kltoben; conversation flowed on very glibly, and as he appeared a stupid Englishman, who could not understand t word of Fronoh or of Spanish, he was allowed to listen, and thus obtained precisely the intelligence that he wae in eearoh of. The following morning, being again mounted, he overheard a conversation between his guards, who dellberately agreed to rob him, and to shoot him at a mill where they wero to stop, and to report to their officer that they had been compelled to fire at him In consequence of his attempt 'to-escape. Shortly before they arrived at the mill, far fear that they might meet with some one who would Insist on having a portion, of the spoil, the dragoons took from the prisoner hla watoh and his puree, which he sur- rendered wl(h a good grace. On their arrival at the mill they dismounted, and In order to give some appearance of truth to their story, they went into the house, leaving their prisoner outelde, in the hope that he would make some attempt to escape In an lnslant Waters throw his cloak upon a neighboring olivo bush, and mounted his cocked hst on the top. Some empty flour sacks lay. upon the ground, and a horse laden with well, filled flour sacks stood at the door. Sir John contrived to enter one of the empty sacks and throw himself across the horse. When the soldiers came out of the. house,'they fired their car- blnea at the eopposed prisoner, and galloppedtoff at the utmoBt Bpeed. A ehort time after, tbe miller came out ahd'mounted his eteed; the General contrived to rid himself of the enoumbrance of the sack, and sat up, riding behind the man, who, suddenly turning round, saw a ghoat as be believed, for the flour that etlH remained in the sack had- oomplety whitened hie fellow teayeller, and given him a most unearthly appearance. Tho (Tightened mifler was "puWfled,'.' as Mrs. Malaprop would say. M the sight, and a push from the white spectre brought the unfortunate man to the ground, when away rode the gallant quartermaster with his sacke-of flour, which at length buraUnir. made a ludlorous spectacle of man and horse. On reachlnn the EngBah camp, where Lord Wellington was anxiously dopljrtag hlarate, a sudden shout from tbe soldiers mode hlB lordship turn round, when a figure, resembling the etatuo In Don Juan, gallopped up to him. The Duke affeotlonately shaking him by the nand, aald-"Watere,.yon nover yet deceived me;-and though-you have cc-po In a most questionable shape;I must Mngratulatei you aud"myself."

' •' We believe this pleasant amusement for .boys and girls, and sometimes those or more matore tie, originated In Oermany, where it is called' tie/ Udthin, which, as it 1b spoken, has'the sound of fKUMn, which may have been the origin of our word, to which we have given a. Latin terty or forfeiture, exacted or won by the tact or management of the Vlnnlng party. With us the thing is managed, however, excessively clumsy, and quite without skill. A person and company bhances to find a double- meated almond, and hands half the meat to another, and says, or rather should say, "Will you eat a phllopena with met" 'The other may say, "I am afraid," and refuse or accept one of the huts, and eat it at the same time the challenging party eats-the other. Thus they separate; but when they meet again, the one that can think to say "phllopena" first to the other wins the forfeit and has a right to name what it shall be—generally, among ohlldren, some trifle; among young folks, some little present suitable to the condition of the parties. Thus a young lady who wins a phllopena of a gentleman may Immediately addT^I wear No. 61-4 aids." If the parties meet in the street the lady may say, "Ob, yes; I see you notice my parasol is getting old. Well, then I accept" BnUhe gentleman. ehould never allude to her want of an article, but exercise' his Judgment as to what would be acceptable. Generally, In our hot haste to win phllopena, we forget propriety, and become rude brthls land of thrift and hurry. > ' The thing is far better and more pleasantly managed in Oer-^ - many, and calls Into exercise some of the most useful faculties of tbe mind. When evcouple meet after having eaten phllopena together, no advantage is taken of the other until one of-them pronounces the word "phllopena." This is the warning that now sport Is to begin, let us suppose that a gentleman upon a lady; ahe Invites him to walk In, and at the same time speaks the tallsmanlo word. If he accepts the offer to walk In he Is lost, unless she removes the hsn by telling >■<»■) to go away. If she asks hlnrto take off his hat he must resolutely keep It on;'if to be seated, he must stand; or if at the table she should hand him any article which he accepts, ahe wins the forfeit At- the same time he Is watching to get her off her guard—for the' first acceptance of any offer from the other, ends the game. - Both are constantly exorcising their wits to prevent being caught and the sport often goes on all the evening. Perhaps the gentloman brings a little present and says :—#".' "Knowing that I . shall lose my phllopena, I have brought it along—here It is." .' - If she Is caught off her guard by this smooth speech, she loses, for he Immediately claims forfeit If neither wins at the first meet- ing, the sport Is continued on tho second; and U,may happen that half a dozen parties meet at the same time, all anxtous to win of their phflopena partners, so that the scene often becomes ludlaxoualy amnalng. How. preferable la this German play to our own. And as ihe sports derived from phllopena are very Innocent and pretty, we commend It to the "youns folks" sr America. ■ i 8 BUT LOVEGOOD AND THB > DOG.
