Inf At seventeen years of age I was more of a man than I have ever been since. I wore a long tail coat and boots, (to •which the appurtenance of spurs was generally added) a moustache was quite visible on my upper lip, and a conscious ’ of ness ripe maturity never left my fttfnd. I was studying for the legal profession, but at the time of which I write, wus spending my summer vaca¬ tion at my father’s house in the country. Though so manly, almost soldier like as I fancied, in my appearance, my in¬ ner was by ncr menus as stein us my outer man. I loved my mother with a childish tenderness, and sooner than pain her pious heart, I unmurniuriugiy accompanied her every Sunday to the village church, to listen to long sermons of whioh I could not hear a word, far the tremulous accents of the vciy aged minister, who conducted the services, wenr So faint as to be inaudible where duty we sat. Though incited by love and to subject myself % this weekly pen unco, (well d« served by my weekly sins) my conscience yet did not prevent me from whiling away the time by such , >iy U l ii. mn(J tl,ut I1au ~ ' ‘ 0 - •ly, lv ol obiwrving and | speculating on the countenances of my neighbors, Ld an occu EWjgg 1-ation of which 1 waa W Btsat °. f j.u»s .irl |0 who w«H iiVpomm * nid ^ i prbbably r»rol» I>1 * her grand,nother-the i object fHceVronTLI" race from first eliciting V f Tv mjt Mlf^ess ad niiration, gradually absorbed my whole attention.

Ouo Sunday, I happened in coming out of church to bo close to ray lovely neighbor—immediately behind her my baud actually touched her nncon sciouh garments. I fslt an irresistible desire to force her in some way to no tice me—to speak to her—to occasion one of those charming blushes-any thing—I knew not what. In short, like an impertinent, coxcomb as 1 wn8 > I stooped forward, and with ansufferable insolence, which 1 blush now to reiuem her, I whispereil in H**' - ear. ‘ v You \^7 r «»t* " are very .

J Another year elapsed ere I returnee home, and again sat in the little village church. My personal appearance was, foeanwhilo, somewhat altered. .1 |(UI wore my moustache, it is true, but .i.y coat tails were not, nor did not soem so long, and / had left off my spurs, s My mother and I were early seated in our pew and I impatiently awaited the arrival of my lovely,enigma. I tried to prepare myself for disappointment. l I have been thinking and dreaming nbont ah ideal,’ I said to myself—doubt less when the young lady herself ap pears all my fine imaginings will vanish; there can be no doubt my fancy has been playing tricks with me, investing a mere country maiden with transcen¬ dent graces and charms.’ While l was reasoning thus with myself, the young lady appeared leading her old relative with tender care. Worshipping an ideal, indeed! my most chariniug rememberance did not begin to do justice to the beautiful reali ty. A A soul ^ If full II of f. tenderness 1 and J sensi- • bility Reemed to have found a fitting home in a person and face of perfect lovelim ss and . race. .

I hated this man ; I wus insufferably jealous, but Grace seemed either perfectly unconscious or perfealyludiflere.it to tlie by play of animosity which was carried on between us. Grace, swwt, noble Grace, with ail her child like simplicity and sensitive woman’s heart—wiio could resist her 1 I could not—niy whrfe soul In vain had I struggled—in vain had I called upon my vanity, (of which I had plenty to invoke) to save me from the mortification of loving withour return ! 1 which couW not8tem nor mighty ^o ntroi whirwintl the passion had j strong as a j seized me. One evening I sat by t ZT piano bile Grac* sang fo nn*. Tire :* S there, and dear Grace’s varyiug color and glistening eyes suggested sweet, hopes to my vanity. I fancied I saw love in those bright dewev eves, and on «.*« those soft soft rnnoie muetc breath-ng u lips. na the last evening of my tion, and surely I read a gentle farewell thought in Grace’s fiice. I was beside myself with joy at the idea—I was as if in a blissful dream—a sweet delerium —a rapture of love, As Grace rose to leave the piauo I caught her hand, and unable longer to repress the one thought that filled my heart, I exoiaimed fervtmt ^ e *' n Grace-dear rn „ u j nviw Grace, . with , all „ my soul . 1 love you.
