BY O. II CIIAHV.
The members of the Club were re
sembled at their chili room, one evening
l ttyiy, v. hcn the skating cnrmivaL was at
its heigh*, mid the discourse Very naturally
nyi upon incidents connected with the lav
orite pastime. One of the members thus
spoke: *
.“I have heard that Howland her*' had a
narrow c cape some tirr.e last winter, when
skating upon the St Lawrence. I prop so
that we have an act 0 nt of it, if ho dives
not object.”
y'l's, let us hear it, by all means,” echo
ed th e 1 e f.
The one thus addressed—a fine, active
looking person, of not more than fivo-and
twenty years of age—laid aside the paper
that he had been perusing, and replied,
< “I did have Father a narrow escape, and
for a while thought tlr.it I was taking my
last skate, and I assure you that my ap
prehensions, were fully shared by the young
lady who was with me.”
“.V lady ‘t' echoed the one that had first
spoken. 1 Then you would have entered
Paradise accompa 1 ied by an ungel 1 Put
proceed with your story.”
“It was one day last January,” resumed
Howland, “when and ic;* of lIyLSP

Iloutiug, Jennie's experience in skating had
been limited to the pm ks of the e»ies, and
as she was an arc miplished skater,

“1 find always thought Jennie to be a
very p 0 ty girl, and Inal become quite cap
tivate! by her charms, but shu never ap
peared ha'f as lovely to me as upon this
occasion, and as we wept bold forward, or
circled or whirled in. the most graceful
manner, you may cl pend that I enjoyed
the sport very highly. _
“The river is about two nines in wiota
where we were, and there were a large
number of skaters 11 pop it, but wo w ere
soon at a considerab e distance from any
of them, and struck out boldly to - tno c. n
tre of the river. We did nut slop until
we were within a few rods of the open
water, knowing as we did the thickness ol
the ice.
“We here rested n while—rather longer ,
than we supposed, for we carried on a very
liveh ad animated conversation, when Jcu

“-We are down the river farther tlian
we were when wo stopped. W o were
then opposite that wind-unit, pointing to
the opp site shore.
4 This caused me to take a view of the
situation, and l was not long in making a j
iscovery. We were afloat. The current
had eavried away the ice upon which we
were standing. As it was a large piece,
at least one-eighth ot a tnilo in extent,
felt no very gr. at apprehension in regard

“At first my eTorts were in vain ; but at

Jennie caused me t- look around. I was

A llouiantic Love Story.
The Count dc St. Croiv, belonging to ono
of’the poblest and waithiest families in
I‘Vauee, hceame engaged after a long and as

It arts one, the Count was or.lcvt.d immedi
ately to the soigp of Sebastopol; so he gir
ded ou his sabre and at the head of hi* reg
imen*, march'd to the battle-field. During
tho Gaunt's absence, it happened that bis
b; au'ifulyztumce had tho small pex; after
hovering between life and death fir several
days, lie recovered her health, but fouud
her beauty hopelessly lost.
The disease had assumed in her case tho
most virulent character, aud left her not on
ly disfigtted but soatnei aud scarred to su«h
% frightful extent that she became hideous
to hersdf, and roaolved to pass tho remain

A year pasieJ away, when, ono day, the
Count, LnmediatAy upon hisreturnto Franco

however, with the persistence of a lover,
krcsxid Lis suit, and finally tho lady made
her; ppcaranco closely mulfl and in a double

A heavenly smile broke over the Gount’e

countenance unmarked, it robbed him for

the spot by their 1 >ve of music.
