It’s such a beautiful day.” “ But he'll throw you.” “ Throw me!” And 1 laughed merrily and incredulously. “ Say yes, uncle dear,” 1 continued coaxingly ; “ There’s nothing to fear; and I’m dying for a cautor.” “ You’ll die of a canter then,” he re torted with his grim wit, “ for he’ll break . your neck. ‘The horse has only been | ridden three times, twits; by myself and ! mioe by Joe.” “ But you’ve often said that 1 war a \ b-’fer rider than .Toe.” J-* “ <•.. tb s.a- 1 blc bov. “ That’s a good uncle, now ! And I threw my arms about his neek mid kissed him. I knew by experience, that when 1 did this, I generally carried the day. My uncle tried to look stern ; but. I saw lie was relenting, lie made a last effort, however, to deny me. “ Why not take Dobbin !” he said. “ Dobbin !” 1 cried. “ Old snail paced Dobbin, on such a morning as this. O might a“ well ride a rocking horse at once.” “Weil, well,” he said, “if I must, 1 must. You’ll tease the life out of me if 1 don’t let you have your way. i wish you’d get a husband, you minx, you’re growing beyond my control.” “Humph! A husband. Well, since I you say so. I’ll begin to lookout far one ! to-day.” “■ He’ll soon repent his bargain,” said mv uncle; but his smile belied his w ords. “ You are as cross as pie-crust, if you don’t have your way. There,” weeing 1 was about to speak, “go and get ready, while I go and tell Joe to sad dle Milo. You’ll set the house afire isl don’t send you off.” Milo was soon at the door, a gay, met tlesome colt, who laid his ears back as I mounted and gave me a vicious look l did not l.ke. “Take care,” said my uncle. “It’s not toe late yet to give it up.” 1 was piqued. “ I never give up anything,” I said. “ Not even the finding of a husband, eh 1” “i'lo. 1 will ride down to the poor house and ask old Toby, the octogenarian to have ma, anti yob will be tbreed to j hire Poll Wlikes tojyuk yo*r dinner.” I And as 1 said this, my eyes twinkled j mischievously, for undo was an old bach-; elor, who detested all strange women, j and had an especial aversion to Poll WilkoH, a sour old maid of forty-seven, because years ago she had plotted to en trap him into matrimony. Before he could reply I gave Milo his head. John Gilpin, w'e are told, went fast; but 1 went faster. It was not long before the colt, had it all his own way. At first I tries! to check his speed ; but he got the let in his mouth, and all that 1 could do was to hold on and trust to tiring him out. Trees, fences and houses- went by us like wild pigeons on the wing. As long as the road was clear, we did well enough, but suddenly, coming to a blast el oik, that started out, spectre-like, from the edge of the wood, Milo shied, tw sled half around, and planted his fore feet stubbornly in the ground. 1 did no, know I was falling, till 1 felt myself in a mudhule, which lay at one side of the road. Here was a fine end to my boasted horsemanship ! But as the mud was soft, 1 was not hurt, aiul the ludicrous specta cle i presented soon got the upper hand ol my vexation. “ A fine chance 1 have at finding a hus band, in this condition,” 1 said to myself, recalling my jest with my uncle. “If I could see a mud dryad now, and pass my seif off for a mud nymph, 1 might have a chance. ’ And 1 began to pick myself up. “ Shall 1 help you, Miss?” suddenly said a deep, rich, manly voice. 1 looked up ami saw a young man. the suppressed merriment of whose black eyes brought the blood to my cheek, and made me, for an instant, ashamed and angry. But on glancing agaiu at my dress, I could not help laughing in spite of myself. I stood in the mud at least six inches above the top ol shoes. My riding skirt was plastered all over, so that it was almost impossible to tell of what it was made. My hands and arms were mud to the elbows, for I had Instinc tively’ extended them, as 1 fell, in order to pro ■ • t myself. Tbs ung man, as he spoke, turned to th® uuU uksßg fU .u* i I top rail, placed it across the puddle, then ’ : putting his arm around my waist, he lift- 1 j ed me out. though not without leaving |my shoes behind. While he was fishing i those out, which he began immediately j to do, 1 stole behind an enormous old i oak, to hide my blushing face and scrape | the mud from my stockings and riding skirt. 1 had managed to get the first a little cleaner, but the last was still as thick with mud as ever, when my com panion made his appearance with the missing shoes, which he had scraped till they were quite presentable, and leading Milo hv tile bridle. “ Pray let me see you home,” he said. “ If you will mount again, I will lead the I colt; and there w>ll be no chance of his ! repeating this trick.” I could r,ot answer for shame. But I : when in the saddle muttered something I ; about “ not troubling him.” | “Itis no trouble; not the least,” he I replied, standing list in hand like a knightly cavalier, and still retaining His hold mi the bridle, “ and I cannot let you 1 go alone, for the colt is as vicious as he I can lie. to-day. Look at his ears and the | red in his eyes. 1 saw you coming down | the road, and expected you to be thrown ! every minute, till 1 saw how well you ! rode. Nor would it have happened if he had not wheeled and stopped, like ft trick horse in the circus.” I cannot, tell how soothing was this j graceful way of excusing my mishap. 1 ‘ i stole a glance under my eve-lids, at the J ! speaker, and saw that he was very band- j i some and gentlemanly, and apparently j about six and twenty, or several years j older than myself. I had hoped th.if uncle would be out j in the fields overlooking the men ; but • as wo entered the gate, I saw him sitting ! provokingly at the open window ; and by the time 1 had sprung to the ground, j he had fom-out, his eyes brim full of! mischief, i did not dare to stop, but turni ig to my escort, 1 said, “My uncle, | sir, wont yon walk in,” ami then rushed up stairs. In about half an hour, just as 1 had i dressed, there was a knock at my door, j tny uncle’s knock. I could not but open. : He was laughing a low, silent laugh, his j portly body shaking all over with a sup- j pressed merriment. “Ah ! ready at last,” he said. “ I j began to despair of you. you were so lon-/, an i came to hasten you. He is wai i ig iii file pajrJor i-tiJi.” Jjf continued, in a malicious whisper. . “ You have my consent, for J like him hugely, only vhft LtfouH ha ixJ bought of finding a husband |in arr id puddle.” | 1 slipped past niy tormentor, prefer ring to face even my escort than to run | the gauntlet of uncle’s wit; and was soon • stamm l ing my thanks to Mr. Temple | ton, f>r as such nw uncle who follow ed I me down, introduced him. i ’ ! To make short what else would be a j long story, what was said in jest turned ! out to lie earnest ; for in less than six i months, in that very room, 1 stood up to Ibe a Mrs. Templeton. How it all came I about 1 hardly know. But I certainly | did find a husband on that day, Harry, j for that is ttie name by which I call Mr j Templeton, says that, 1 entered the parlor :so transformed, my liglu blue tissue i fioating about me so much like a cloud j wreath, mv cheeks so rosy’, my eyes so | bright, my curls playing such hide and seek about my face, that, not expecting such an apparition, he lost ids heart at I once. He adds, tor he still’ knows how p to compliment as well as ever, that my gay, yet intelligent talk, so different from the demure Miss he had expected, com- I pitted the business. Harry was the son of an old neighbor who had been abroad for three years, and before that had been at college, so | that 1 had not seeu him ; hut uncle re j membered him at once, and had insisted 1 on his staying till i came down, though Harry,from delicacy, would have left, af ter an inquiry about my health. My uncle was one of those who will not be put off ami so Harry remained. “The luckiest tiling,” he says, “ I ever did.” Milo is now my favorite steed, for ; Harry broke him for me ; and we are all ; as happy us the day is long, uncle iuclu ! ded ; for urn-le insisted on our living with him, and i told him, at last, I would j consent, “if only to keep Poll Wilkes I from cooking h s dinners'” To which he I uuawered, looking at Harry : “ leu see what a little spit-fire she is, j “ltd may bicss your stars if you don’t rue the day she went out to find a husband.” St OUKN DIiATH ON IloN.

Mr. Editor : The period for the regu- I iar annual examination and commenoe- I merit of Wesleys” l-'cmale College, Inc-. ■ again arrived, and the exercises were j opened this morning, though in a manner J somewhat different from what has hith | erto been the custom. Heretofore the j examination has been public, now it is | to ho conducted in a more private way. t Parents, guardians and those iminediate j ly interested only, being invited to at j tend. This, we are inclined to think, is j decidedly the better plan. Public ex- I animations abe attended with many in j conveniences anywhere — especially in a •’ Female College, and no good results from \ them, which may not lie secured, more j successfully and satisfactorily, by oon j ducting them privately. But we will not j discuss this question at large. The gen- I oral sentiment of those best prepared to j judge in such matters is in favor of pri i vate examinations. They are private in j all our Male Colleges and should be si, J by all means, in the Female, i We propose, Mr. Editor, with your | permission, to notice briefly, through j your columns, the exercises of the exam j ination as they’ progress from day today, that those who may be interested, yet not able to attend, may see vital is being <La. The first class we heard examined this morning, was the Sophomore in Latin. They were comparatively beginners, ams were examined in such a way, as most effectually and thoroughly to test their acquaintance with the principles of the language—yet they acquitted themselves most creditably. The introduction of a department of Latin literature in the course of female j education L certainly a decided improve- I ment. and its advantages are “ too nu meims to mention.” If for no other j reason. Latin should be studied because ! of the essential aid it affords in gaining a knowledge of our own vernacular. The next was the Senior class in French, who entertained tts for some time with a very fluent and animated conver sation among themselves, of their own composing. \Ye could not understand anything that was said, though we heard every word, still, we must be allowed to say, that as far as we were able to judge, . they talked just like “ Frenchmen The exercises of the morning then ekis . I ed with music. EVENING SESSION. The exercises were resumed at 3 o’clk with the examination of the second class in Algebra. They were examined thor oughly and impartially, and manifested a familiarity with the science, as far as th- y had investigated it, that was highly creditable to their own industry and the skill of (heir instructor. Then, after the performance of an elah. orate and splendid piece of music, the Ju nior class underwent a thorough, critical drifting in Chemistry. The promptings with which they answered the questions proposed —although each one was called on unexpectedly (the names being writ ten on paper and drawn at random,) in dicated very evidently, that they had not been idle. It was really interesting and instructive to hear them. A piece or two of music, which you know, Mr. Ed itor is “ the first and the last” and al ways appropriate, performed, in the best stylo of Prof. G.’s instruction, closed the exert i-es of the day. \Ve will endeavor to give you a short account of every day’s exercises on t hrough the public commencement, which comes off next week, although the notes we take must, be necessarily arranged in a v ery hasty and imperfect manner.
