EVENING STAR. THE SPORTSMAN’S ADVENTURE. A SCOTTISH TALE. During the early part of thesummer, in the year 18—, ithappened that two young sports- men in the highlands of Scotland, wearied by a long day’s shooting, were approaching a hill-side spring, famous in that wild district for the col and pureness of its waters. They had just reached the brow of the eleva- tion overlooking the raral fountain, when they saw a young girl, in the first blush of woman- ly beauty, close by the spring. She was sitting on a luw rock that rose by the side of the fountain, her ee elbow resting on the cliff, and her bead leaning on her hand. Her figure’ was slight and eylph- like, yet exquisitely Her hair was. golden in color, flowed in natural ringlets,on her shou é “See. wasI not right ?’’ said one ina whis per to his companion. ‘‘ She had been gatb- pring lillies ; there are some still in ber hand. But let us ‘descend.”’ The — a5 been leaning carelessly on his as he spoke, and, now, preparatory to Groeeedin , threw it to his shoulder. Unfor- tanately the trigger caught ing bramble, and the piece went off, lodging its contents in his side. He staggered and fell. “‘Good heavens!’’ cried his companion, springing to his assistance, and lifting the wounded man up, “are you killed ?’’ The young girl we have described had been buried im a profound reverie, but at the report of the gun she started, looking wildly around to see whence it proceeded. Ina moment she caught sight of wounded man lying on the heather above her, while his friend, lying on one knee, supported the head of the sufferer. As soon asthe sportsman saw the girl was watching him, he shouted and waved his arm for help The timid Scottish maiden, who but a mo- ment before wason the point of flying, now turned and began to ascend the hill side. “ My poor friend,’ said the sportsman, doff- ing his hat as she approached, “ has met with an unfortunate accident, and Ido not know what tc do. or where to bear him * Adeep blush dyed the girl’s cheek as she encountered the gaze of a stranger, but it pssed off immediately, and, with a presence of mind worthy of one older, she stooped down to see if the wounded man was dead -* He breathes still,’’ she said, as she broke off a delicate leaf from one of her lillies and held it to bis nostril ; and looking at his com- panion, rhe continued, “‘do you think you could carry him to the spring ?”” The sportsman answered by carefully tift- ing his friend up in his arms and bearing him down the hillsidé, the young girl following. ‘* Place him here,’’ she said, pointing to the slightly elevated bank, ‘‘and jean his head against the rock. Everything,” she contin- ued, “now depends on your getting a surgeon soon. If you will follow that path to your right around tho turn of the hill, you will find our cabin. There is a pony there, which you can take and ride to the little town of Abernethy, some five miles off, where fortu- oately asurgeon may be had At the cabin you will find a shepherd or two—tell them to EXCURSIONS, &c.

But he still lay insensible, and she persisted in her task for some time, without any signs of life being perceptible. ‘‘Alas!’’ she said, ‘“‘ he is dead! and yet FIFTH ANNUAL PIC NIC EXCURSION ' o: BOONE RIFLE CORPS .

What it this should be the case here ?”’ She had by this time bared sufficient of bis person to get at the orifice of the wound. The dark gore had ulmost stiffened about it. She stooped down and tenderlycommenced wiping away the congealed blood. She had not been long engaged in her task of mercy when the wounded man stirred, and opening his eyes, fixed them earnestly upon her ‘s Where am I*”’ he inquired, for his mem- ory was yet vague. ‘Ab! I remember—my gun went off. t where is Harry?’’ “If you moan your friend,” said the young lady, ‘* he is gone for asurgeon. I have con- sented to watch by you till some shepberds come to carry youtoour cabin And here they come,’’ she exclaimed, clasping her hands, equally glad to conclude this embar- rassing tete «-tete and to see the wounded man placed in a situation of more comfort “Heaven bless you!’ said the sufferer, with emphasis. ‘You have saved my life.” In a few moments the wounded man was placed on a settee, brought by the shepherds, and the little cavalcade wended its way to- ward the cabin. The maiden walked last, and by her side stalked sadly the two dogs of the sufferer; and the dumb animals, with a sense almost human. as if appreciating her kindness to their master, looked up affection- ately into her face every few steps. The cabin was like those existing everywhere in the bighlands—a rude but cheerful habitation, but was both larger than usual, and adorned with more taste inside. In about two hours the friend of the suffer- er returned, bringing with him the surgeon, who was closeted with his patient for more than an hour,and when he came forth the young girl was sitting anxiously by the fire, in company with a middle aged woman, the wife of one of the shepherds. “Oh, Miss Helen,’’ said the old surgeon, answering the inquiry of her eyes, * you have saved the life of as brave a lad as ever shot a muir-cock or stalked a red deer. I know all about it, you see, lassie; you came of a gen- erous and gallant race,” and he patted her head as a father would that of a favorite daughter, adding, as if t> himself. ‘‘’tisa pity the Southron has the brvad acres that were once her ancestors; and that she, com- ing of a chieftain’s line, should have nothing but acabin and a few bits of hill side fora flock or two of sheep.” The next day the wounded man was pro- nounced better, but still in a very critical po- sition; and his removal was forbidden by the old surgeon. . “Ye maun keep him here awhile yet, las- sie,’’ he said, addressing Helen ; ‘‘and I’m al- eon Gentleman and two La- dies—ONE DOLLAR.

His friend, to his again, went out game, and Helen ee) her guest were frequently left alone er. “How shall I ever thank you sufficiently, Helen?” said Donald, one day ; “ your pres- ence of mind, when I was dying by the spring, saved my life.’’ The blushing Helen looked down and an- Swered, ‘‘ Dont talk that wey, Mr Alleyne. You would not, I know, if you was aware how mugh it pained me.”’ “Call me id,” eaid the ednvalescent ; “surely we have known each other long enough for you to drop that formal name. Or, if you will not call me Donald, then I shall address you as Miss Grene.”’ ‘Donald, then,” said Helen, archly look- ing up, and shaking the curls back from her ace. “Bless you for the word, Helen,” he said, taking her band. “* you know it sounds swoeter now than I ever thought it would ?”” “Mr Alleyne,” she said, though with averted face, “if you would not have me keep out of your sight for ever—if, in short, yeu have any respect for a friendless girl, do hot speak in that strain again.’’ And she rose as if to depart “ Helen, hear me,” said her lover, detain- ing her; ‘hear me only for one word more. Since the hour that you saved my life, I have loved you, and every day I spent in your so- ciety has increased that love ; but if you wil? say that you love another, I swear never to speak on that subject again.”’ She endeavored to detach her hand, which he had caught a second time, but he held it too firmly. “You are rich, and [ am " she said, at last, “‘ you would some P oye ll nt of this — Even your friends would i your folly.”” 2 ““Then you love me,”’ said be, eagerly. i: Is it not 0?” 7 et * But this time Helen faced him, and with a dignity that quite awed his rapture. “Mr. Alleyne, will you let me go?’ she she said- “I am an unprotected girl, and you presume on my situation.”’ ““No, no!” he exclaimed, but he let go her hand. ‘You, misjudge me, indeed, Mies Greme, for your blood is as as miue ; and even if it were not, Donal, Alleyne is pot the man to love for rank or wealth.” Helen, whose pride rather than heart had spoken, was moved by these words, and she lingered irresolutely' Her lover saw the change in her demeanor and hastened to take advantage of it. Nor did it long continue to resist his pleadings. She loved him indeed only to weil, as she had all along confessed to her own heart. Still even when b: t te half acknowledge that he had a place in her ber heart, she would not promise to be his Without a condition He argued long and earnestly, but her answer was always the sam? “We must part for ayear,” shesaid “ You think now, with the memory of your illness fresh upon you, that you love me; butI am come of too haughty a blood, though poor now, to marry even where I might love, oa so sud- den and questionable an attachment. You are rich, fashionable, and with influence; Iam the last of a line proscribed ever since Callo- den. Your place is the gay world, where you will be surrounded by troops of friends ; mine is in the humble cabin, where a few more de- pendents have been my only companions ever since my father died. If you really love me, You will return at the end of the year; and if = forget me, I shall live here with the eather and muir-cock as I lived before.” Her lover was therefore compelled to sub- mit. There was a proud independence in her banishment of him which became, he said to himself, the daughter of chieftains who had —— at Bannockburn and§Flooden Fields, and sacrificed their all at Culloden Two weeks from that time Donald and his friend left the Highland cabin, and Helen was alone. Never before had she known what it was tobe alone. She never knew how much she loved till her lover was away. But even a year will pass, and just a twelve- month from Donald’ « departure Helen sat at the spring side, which she had named for the trusting spot if her lover proved faithful. She had been there already for many hours wateh- ipg with an eager timid heart, half trembling at her own folly in expecting him, half with herself for her doubts; but now, ast gloaming came on, yet no Donald opens, » her bosom swelled nigh to bursting. She rose ; frequently and looked up the bridal path, but nobody was in sight. At last the stars began to come out; the wind grew chill; and with an almost broken heart she rose to retura to the cabin. “I might have known this,” she said sad- ly. “Do not all my books tell the same? Ever the old story of trusting woman and de- ceiving man.”’ At this instant an arm was thrown around her waist, ard a well remembered voice whis- pered in ear—‘‘Now, Helen dear, one of our cruel sex, at least, is falsified. I thought to steal on you unawares and suprise you; and so went around by the cot to leave my horse there. Had you looked bebind, instead of before you, you would have frustrated my little scheme by seeing me. I have waited a whole year impatiently for this day, and I fipd you mine at last ”’ A month from that time, Sir Donald Alleyne introduced his bride to his ample domains in England; and never had a fairer wife entered the splendid hall of his ancestors. in that great gallery of the castle is a pic- ture of a young Scottish girl, with a half pen- sive face, setting by & mountain spring; and the old housekeeper, as she goes the with visitors, pauses before the to say: ‘That isthe likeness of the last Lady Alleyne; and lovely she was, and as good as lovely. By her husband, the late baronet, she was always called the Lilly of the Valley. Why, I e never heard.” ARRANGEMENT OF SMALL FLOWER-GARDENS. In arrangteg a small garden, so as to have proper variety of flowers for the season, it is recommended that, after Mying out the plan according to one’s taste, the planting—whe- ther in beds or borders—be attended to in such a manner that the height and color of each particular plant may have the beauty of their effect heightened by contrast. he smaller plants should be di by in clus- ters near the edge of the or border, and those of increasing size placed behind, in suc- cession, till the tall ones reach the centre of the bed or the back of the border. In narrow borders, which will not admit of more than one or two rows of plants, either singly or in groups, those of different heights may be grown alternately, taking care that they do not hide or overshadow the smaller. The va- riety of tints, heights of plants, and their time of blowing, are points to be considered ; other- wise they will produce anything but a plea- sing effect when they come to maturity — — has amy so facto!
