In the western ptu’t of <ho State of Maryland, ..moiig thoso rugged hills of the Alleghany range, stood my uncle's house. It, was it picturesque place on a deft itt the hilUi le, away back from the turnpike, walled in by rocky slopes, fringed with rougii hem leeks aud maples, and hieing high over a sleep descent ou 1 lie north fork of the Potomac river. The house of squared logs, was one of those good old relics ot pioneer days which are now fast disappearing. Desolate aud uuteuable it appeared, and the perva ding quiet, was only broken by the shrill cry ol the blue jay, or ihe dis mal hoot of the owl tit night. My uncle’s life had always been a painful mystery. Fie had giaduated at col lege with high honors, and afterward was travelling and studying abroad, when he suddenly returned home, and retired to the old place left to him by his fullur. There, in the old home stead, without assigning any reason, he kept buc dor’s It all in solitude the remainder of Ins life, inexorable n< the entreaties of his friends, whom he tveu refused to see.

In the mol t ing I have “wished to God it v er *2.50 A YEAR. evening,” and in the evening that it were morning. My lire was a game. I have lived no life since I have been here. It was the spirit of pride and ambition. It led me to suppose 1 was play'ng my game well with the world. Even last night the devil gave me advantage, after advantage, only to win against me at last. I was willing to play against the world. “Bring on y.mr In st talent” I ■•aid to myself. “I will yet he first.” These were my boyish thought* and my success made me regard them as virtues. At college my ambition was satisfied, and in many contest I gained the coveted laurels. Af er graduating, 1 went abro id, spent s .me tfme in Paris, preparatory to going to the Univer.-i y of H-i 11-burg. Soon after iny arrival there, I became acquainted with Frederick., He wag a fair-haired Saxon yotitli of a poeti cal nature, and of too deiicutu organi zation to long withstand the storms and rebuffs of this cruel, practical world.

Ii 1 priced myself up? a my thing in | articular, it was my Hull it this game. Many ol our happiest lours had been passed over the board. 1 had no fear of Frederick s reckless, •arehss moves, and for a long mill I had been successful ill a -'lies of games.
