I began life by running away from home. ileau, we are told, was driven into his ca- reer by the hand of fate and the peck of a turkey Attilla started in life with no other cause and ca than an old sword, which he was adroit enough to palm off for the divine weapon of Mars, and Kobespierre owed his political career to wetting his stockings, and there heard *‘ the words which burn,’’ which fired his soul, and determined his course in life. My running away from home arose from a minor mortification, caused by carrying a pretty girl over a brook Donald Lean and myself were good friends at fourteen years of age, and we both regwed- ed, with a little more than friendship, pretty Helen Graham, “our eldest girl’’ at school, We romped and danced together, and this lasted for such a length of time that it is with a feeling of bewilderment that L look back on the mystery of two lovers continuing friends. But time came, come it muet, whea jealousy lit her spark in my boyish bo- som, and blew it into a consuming flame. Well do I remember how and when the ‘green cyed” perpetrated this incendiary deed. It waz on a cold Octoberevening, when Helen, Donald and myself were returning with our parents from a visit to a neighbor- ing hamlet. As we approached a ford where the water ran somewhat higher than ancle deep, we prepared to carry Helen across, as we were accusto to do, with hands inter- woven ‘chair fashion,’? thus we tock our pretty passenger thro the brook. Just as we were in the middie of the water—which was cold enough at that time to have frozen anything like feeling out of boys less hardy than ourselves—a faint pang of jealousy nip- ped my heart Whyit was I know not, for we had carried Helen fifty times across the brvok ere now wi:hout emotion, but this even- ing I thought or fancied that Helen gave Don ald an undue preference by casting her pretty arm around his neck while she steadied her- self on my side by holding the cuff of my | jacket No flame can burn so quickly or with so lit- tle fuel az jealousy. Before we had reached the opposite bank, 1 was wishing Donald at the ‘bottom of the sea.” Being naturally | impetuous, [ burst out with— “You need na hand sae gingerly, Helen, a3 if ye feared afa. I can aye carry ye iighter | than Donald wad half of ye’ | Surprised at the vehemence of my tone, our queen interposed with an admission that we were both strong, and that she bad no idea of sparing my powers. But Donald's ire was | kindied, and he utterly denied that I was at all qualified to compete with him in feats of | carriage. On such topics boys are generally cmulous, and by the time we had reached the te bank, it was settled that the point hould be determined by our single bearing Helen across the ford in our arms Ilelen waz to determine who had carried her most easily, and I settled with myself privately in advance, that the one who ob- tained the preference would really be the person who stood highest in her affections. ‘ The reflection stimulated me to resolve to ex- | ert every effort, and I verily believe to thie day, that I could bave carried Donald and Helen on either arm, like feathers. But I anticipate { We sutfered all the rest of the party to pass H quietly along, and then returned to the ford i lifted Helen with the utmost ease, and car- ried her like an infant to the middle of the | water. Jealousy had also inspired a warmer | love, and it was with feelings unknown before ; that I embraced her beautiful form, and I felt the pressure of her cheeks against mine A!l went swimmingly, or rather wadingly, for | ainute. But alas! in the very deepest part ; ef the ford—I trod on a treacherous £| wood, which rested, I suppose, on u smooth | stone. Over I rolled, bearing Helen with me, | nor did we rise until fairly soaked from head | to foot. I need not describe the taunts of Donald, } or the more accusing silence of Helen. Both Lelieved I had failen from mere weakness, and my rival illustrated his superior ability bearing her in our homeward path. As we approached the house, Helen teeling dryer and better hu- mored, attempted to conciliate me But [ preserved a moody silence—1! was mortified beyond redress That night I packed up a few things, and ran away My boyish wind, sensitive and irritated, exaggerated the negation it had re- ceived, and prompted me to a course which fortunately led to better results thamusually } attend such irregularities. 1 went to Edin- burgh, where [ found a material uncle, a kind-hearted, childish man, who gladly gave me a place in his home, and employed me in his business Wealth flowed upon him. I became his partner—went abroad—resided four years on the continent, and finally re- turned to Scotland, rich, educated—in short, every thing but married. . One evening while at a ball in Glasgow, I was struck by a young lady of quite unpre- tending appearance, but whose remarkable beauty and high-toned expressicn indicated a wind of mere than ordinary power. I was introduced, but the Scettish names had long been unfamiliar to my ear, and I could not catch hers. It was Helen something, aud there was s' thing in the face, too, that seemed familiar—something suggestive of mixed pleasure and pain But we became weil acquainted that even- ing. IL learned without difficulty her history. She was from the country, had been well edu- sated, her parents had lost their property, and she was now governess in a family of the city. on fascinated with her conversation, and was continually reminded by her grace and refinement of manner, that she was capable of moving With distinguished success in a far higher sphere than that which fortune seem- ed to have allotted her. I am naturally neither talkative or prone to confidence; but there was that in this young lady that inspired both, and I conversed with her as I had never conversed with any. Her questions of the various countries with which I was familiar, indicated a remarkable knowledge of litera- ture, and an incredible store of information We progressed in intimacy, and as our con- versation turned on the causes which induced so many to leave their native land, I laugh- ingly remarked that I owed my own travels to tulling with a pretty girl into the ford I had scarcely spoken these words ere the blocd mounted to her face, and was succeeded by quite a remarkable paleness I attributed this to the heat of the room—laughed—and at her request, proceeded to give the details of my ford adventure with Helen Graham—which I did, painting in glowing colors the beauty and amiability of my love. Her mirth during the recital became almost irrepressible At itsconclusion she remark«d : ‘Mr. Roberts, is it possible that you have forgotten me ?’’ (Pee an instant—remembered—ani « as dumb-founded. The lady with whom [ oud become acquainted was Helen Graham uer- self ! I hate, and so do you reader, to needless! prolong a story. We were soon married—. len and I made our bridal tour to “ the old lace.’ As we approached itin our carriage greeted a stout fellow working ina field, who seemed to bea botter neo ore nies erhaps a smal! farmer, by ing trifling particular relating to the neighbor- hood. He answered well enough, and 1 was about to give him a sixpence, when Helen stayed my hand, and cried in the old style: “Hey, Donatd mon, dinno ye ken ye’r auld fren’s?”’ The man looked up in astonishment. It was Donald Lean. His amazement at our ap j arms for 2 long distance on | © pearance was heightened by its style; and it was with the greatest difficulty that we could induce him to enter our ee and answer cur numerous queries as to o! ends. Different men ~‘start in life’’ different ways 1 believe however, that mine is the only in- stance on record of a gentleman who owes wealth and happiness to rolling over with @ pretty girl in a stream of water. Tur Fasnions.—The Paris correspondent oi the New York Journal of Commerce far nishes the following, which no doubt will prove interesting to our lady readers For the ball room, at this season, beavy stuffs, such as silver or gold moire antiques, brocades, velvets, &c., are laid aside Crapes, tulles, muslins embroidered in cotton or gold or cilver, sove de Chine, are the materials in favor. A charming dress is of white grena dine. The skirt has five flounces, trimmed with a bias of white satin cut in points, which are edged with a narrow moss fringe. When worn as a dinner toilette, this robe has a bigh body, with hasquines to meet the top founce, trimmed to match, and the front decorated with plaits very narrow at the waist and wide at the shoulders. Onthe middie of the body is a narrow reverse, to match the flounces, and fastened together by pearl beads. T sleeves are formed of three bouillonnes, o which are satin points; the last bouillonne reaches to the elbow, and is finished by a tuche of tulle. A similar ruche is placed round the throat. A robe of white gros grains or taffeta silk is trimmed with three tlounces of cherry silk a quarter of a yard wide, over which fall black lace flounces he low body is trimmed en drrttelles, with cherry riband, edged with black lace. Tho short sleeves are finished with two frills of black lace. But favorite and most magnifi- cent tvilettes are those composed of black or white laces—flounces or tunics of point de Bruxelles, point d'Alencons, or English point made over tulle, crape or siik robes. Agraffes of precious stones or chatelaines of flowers loop irt. Ears of corn either in silver or e@ much worn for head dresses For ing dresses there are splendid taffeas, pattera flounfics in velvet. Other taffe- tas, not less elegant have shaded stripes or checks, the colors of which harmonize in zood e with the ground of the material. There are «iso taffetas with stamped velvet stripes Velvet has for many years been associated | with taffetas for summer toilette, and is ex ceedlingly becoming. A great many Louis XIII. fichus and fancy pelerines will be worn with summer dresses ; ths first hes long ends profusely decorated with bows and loops of riband Some sre made entirely of bouiliounes, others are mixed | with insertion, and others again are composed | of lace Under sleeves are still made either with » wristband and embroidered frills or with puffs and frills. The musquetaire cuffs open down the middle, and are embroidered and trimmed with Vallenciennes lace. Young ladies zen- erally wear white under sleeves with two rows of embroidered trimmings, or lace, ac- etd to the greater or less elegance of the totle Li . . cs and violets are the flowers the most i ion for spring and summer bonnets Ww crape bonnets are bordered with a dark parple riband. A deep blonde covers the front and extends on the curtain, which ix trimmed with a second blonde. On each side ig a large bouquctte of Parma violets. The inside trimming is violets and blonde lace. A Sixeutar Arvam.—We have a bit of news from Holland, which, coming at this time, excites a good deal of attention. Aman atthe Hague, becoming tired of his wife, at- mpted to a her in the following man- : They had sat down to dinner, and while ale left tue room or her back was turned, he put the poison into her soup. Not daring to trust himself in ber presence, be feigned some excuse and left the room. By a wonderful Providence, when she came to the table, « spider had dropped from the ceiling of the room into the soup-plate She was especially afraid of spiders, and ber husband had often laughed at ber for it. So she carefully took the spider out with a spoon, and finding she not bring herself to eat after it, she, in ue ubsence of her husband, changed the plates and ate Ais soup. After a while he came back and devoured what he supposed to be the pure soup. He was immediately taken with convulsions and expired. Before death he confessed that he had poisoned the soup, and that it muet have been put before him, uninteutioually, by bis wife Now how nar row was the escape of his wife, not only from being poisoned, bat from being hung. Ifthe man iad died without confession, the woman must Lave been immediately arrested. Poi sen would have been found in the man and in the soup-plate. Sbe gave him the soup. Here would have been circumstantial evidence strong enough to have hung her, and an inno- cent woman would have expired but for the confession. A CovNTERFEITER AND a Counter Fear — A fellow the other day passed upon Mr. Fris bee, the ticket agent of the Great Western Railway Company, on the Canada side of the Suspension Bridge, a counterfeit note, the acter of which was discovered too late to ¢ gentleman who had strolled over the bridge. But Mr. Frisbee was net to be done in this way, and started in pursuit of his man, whom he eventually found enj ying anapinacaron thisside. Of course he could not be arrested there, so retiring on tip-toe not to disturb his nap, Frisbee found two or three track men to whom he tipped the wink to shove the car across the bridge. It is said that the surprise of that dishonest youth on coming to himself a British prisoner was some- thing to witness When he had sutliciently gathered his scattered wits, he attempted to drop a roll of spurious notes, but was detected at this too, and tinally went to jail miserably Ten years is the least he can expect in Can ala.—Brffalo Exp. A Son or A Britisa Consvun Fientixng wira Inp1ans —Walter James, a son of G. P.R James, British Consul at Norfolk, ordered some Indians away from the hunting grounds around Rice Lake, Waupacea county, lately ‘The Indians refused to leave James, as we understand, visited them late on last Satur- y night, and called one of them out with the apparent purpose of speaking with him After some words, be cut open the Indian's head with a bowie knife; two others came out, not knowing what had happened, where- upon Mr. James cut the arm off of one of them, and laid open the side of the other Tue Indians are on the trail of James, and willin all probability have their revenge.— Beaver Dam (Wis ) Republican, June 19. A Novet Deer Hext.—Herr Driesbach was traveling with his mammoth menagerio recently, and when near La Porte, Ind , ob- served, a short distance from the road, under the shade of a cluster of tree, a fine fat buck. He was anxious to obtain it; but there was a law prohibiting the shooting of deer, and he had no dogs In this emergency a happy idea struck him. .He unbarred the cage of his pet leopard, and pointing tothe deer, in a moment the beautiful but treacherous animal was stealthily creeping towards his prey, and, with a sudden spring, buried his talons in its body Herr Driesbach then went and dis- patched the deer. New Antivorgs ror Strycanine —Doctor Shaw, of Texas, has found sweet oil, druvk freely, successful antidote to strychnine in two cases. The oil to be poured down with- out any reference to the patient's vomiting. Professor Rochester has reported two cases of poisoning by the same terrible drug, success fully treated by a free use of camphor inter- ually, and mustard poultices outside:
