“Miss Becky Ne wton.”
“Well, sir.”
“Will you marry me f”
“No I won‘t.” _ . .
“Very well; then don’t that’s all.”
Mr. Fred Eckerson'drewaway his chair,
and putting his feet upon the piazza,un-I .
folded anewspaper. Miss Becky Newton
hit her lip and went on With hersewing.
'She wondered if that was going to be last
of it. She had felt this proposal coming
foramonth, but the scene she had antici¥
pated was not at all like this. She had
intended to refuse him, but it was to be
done gracefully. She was to remain firm,
notWithstandinghis most eager entreaties.
She was to have 1 .il him that though res-
: peering his manly .rorth and upright char-
acter, 'she could never be to him more
than an appreciative and earnest friend.
She had intended to have shed a few tears,
perhaps. as heknelt writhing in an agony
'oi supplication at her feet. But, instead,
he had asked her the simple question with-
out any rhetorical embellishment, and on
being answered, had plunged at once into
his newspaper, as though he.had merely
.enquired the time of day, She could have
cried with vexation. ‘
“You will never have a better chance,”
he continued after a pause, as he deliber-
ately turned over the sheet to find the latest
telegraphic reports, .
“A better chance for what i’” she asked
shortly, _
“A better chance to marry a young,
goodlooking ma whose gallantry to the
sex is only excee by his bravery in their
defence.” ,.
Fred was quoting from his newspaper,
' but Miss Newton did not know it.
"And whose egotism is only exceeded by
his impudencc,” retortcd the lady.
“Before long,” continued Fred, ‘you’ll be
out oft the market. Your chances, you I
know, are getting slimmer every day.”
the awakening wasn’t at all to her mind.
A terrible crash made chaos of her dreams;
the ground slipped fmm beneath her; the
Beckey Newton found herself suddenly
full ofmuddy water. ‘ In a mement more
somebody’s arm was around her, and she
. felt herselflifted up and placed somewhere
in the sunshine, though precisely where’ she
was yet too bewildered to know. Getting
her eyes open at last, she found Fred
Eckerson's whiskers nearly brushing her
face.
“We,]-?”
. “Well i" , .
“Where am I ?" asked Beckey, shivering
and looking around her. ' .
“ are in the middle of the Missis-
- sip" , replied Fred, “and you are voyagng
towards the GulfofMexico just as fast as
the freshet can cairy’you." ‘
“How came you here i”
“In the same conveyance with yourself,
Miss Becky. In fact, you and I and the
tree all came together, to say nothing of I a
portion of your father‘s plantation, which
I fear, is lost to him forever.” '
Becky was silent. She was thiuking, not
of the accident or their perilous positIOn,
but her appearance when she was lying
asleep on the grass. ‘
“How long were you there before this
happened 1’" she asked. .
“As long as you were. ‘I was up in the‘
etre when you came.” ,
“You had no right to be there,” she said
coloring, “a spy upon my mOVements.”
“Nonsensel” he replied. “You intruded
on my privacy, and while, you .slept I
watched over, Iyou, like the sweet little
cherub that’s alo .” .
“Thankyou for the service, l’m'surc,” she
said,’bridling.
“You snored awfully.”
my waist.”
“Then put yours around my neck.”
“Indeed, I shall do no such thing.”
“Then you will fall into the river if you,
do not.” '
Becky was silent for several moments,
while their unwieldy raft whirled along in
the current, rolling from side to side, and
threatening every instant to turn complete-
ly over and tip them off. At last shesaid
“What are we to do f?”
“I think now that I am started, I shall
go on to New Orleans," he replied.
“To New Orleans l” exclaimed Becky.
“It is a hundred miles."
“Yes, and a chance of a free passage for
such a distance is not to be neglected. You
can go ashore if you prefer.” -
She burst into, tears,
“You are cruel,” she said, “to treat me
thus." '
“Cruel l” exclaimed Fred, drawing her
close to him quickly, “cruel to you i’”
There was no help for it, and she again
relhpsed into silence, quite content, appar-
ently to remain in Fred’s arms, and evincing
now no disposition to rebel. For once in
her life she was dependent on a man.
“I want to go to New Orleans,” continued
Fred, after a pause, “because there is a

“It won’t be a great while before you are
ineligible. You will grow old and wrinkf
led and—” ,_ ’
“Such rudeness to a lady is monstrous,”
claimed Beckey, rising hastily, and flushing
‘ to the temples. ' L
“I'll give you a final opportunity, Miss
Becky. Will you mar—” .
“Not if you were King of England,“
interrupted Miss Newton. throwing down
.her work. “I am not accustomed to such:
insults, sir. "
And so saying she passed into the house
and slammed the door behind her. '
“She is never so handsome as when she
is in a rage,” thought Fred to himself, after
she had gone, as he slowly folded up his
paper and replaced it in his pocket. ‘I
wasafool to goad her so. I shall never
win her in that way. But I’ll have her I’.
he exclaimed aloud. “By heaven, I’ll have
her, cost what it may.”
Very different was the FFed Eckerson of
the present, pacing, nervously up and down
the piazza, from the Fred Ecaerson of a
few'moments ago receiving his dismissal
from the woman he loved, with such a
' calm and imperturable exterior. For he
loved Becky Newton with all his heart
suspected, Was not so much with himselfas
his pocket. Becky Newton had an insuper-
daughter of a wealthy Louisiana planter,
reared in luxury and the recipient of a
weekly allowance of pin money sufficient
to pay Fred’s whole bills for a month she
had no idea of changing her situation for
one of less comfort and independence.
Besides it had been intimated to her that a
neighboring planter of unusually aristocrat-
ic lineage looked upou'her with covetous
~ eyes. To be sure, he was old and ugly, but
- he was rich, and in her present mercenary
state of mine, Miss Becky Newton did not
desire such a chance of becoming a wealthy
widow to slip by unimproved“
But alas for human nature! If Becky
was really so indifi'erent to Fred Eckerson
why did she run up stairs after that inter-
view, and take the starch all out of her
nice clean pillow shams by crying herself
into hysterics on the bed? It was not all
wrath or vexation, it was not all pique.
There was somewhere deep down in
Becky’s heart a feeling very much akin to
remorse. She was notsure that she would
not one day be sorry for what she had done.
She had no doubt she could be happy as
Fred Eckcrson’s wife after all.
“Batman,” she cried, growing hot with
the recollection, “he was so rude and so
insultingl I never could live .with such a
man-never l”
.Wheu Fred Eckerson had walked off
some of his feelings on tho piazza, he can-
cludedI to take a look at the river. 'The
Mississippi, which flowed within five hun-
dred yards of the house. was, at that time
nearly at the height of its “spring rise."
Its turbid waters rushing swiftly towards
the sea, had nearly filled the banks, and in
many places had broken through the levees
and flooded the low lauds many miles. A
crevasse of this description had been made
in the farther bank, nearly opposite the
house, and the windows of the Newton
mansion commanded a view of a vast and '3 pretence 0‘ wiping “19 perSpiration'tfrom

viting into this neighborhood."

“If we don’t go to New Orleans, if we get
safely out of this scrape, I shall write her
to come any way."
“Ah 1" .
“I shall obtain board for her in St. Jean,
which will be convenient for me as long as
I remain your father’s guest. I can ~ ride

replied. _ . - , .
“Marry her ’2” Why ypu proposed to me
this morning. I .
“Yes, but you refused. I told you then
you would never have another chance." ;
Becky was silent again. It is a matter- of
some doubt whether, had Fred at that time,
sitting astride that cottonwood log, with his
feet in the water and his arm around her
waist,proposcd to her a second time, she
sure,a marvelous change had come over
Becky’s feelings since her tumble into the
river. She felt just then that one strong

The log had been gradually nearing the

denly under a large sycamore tree which
overhung its branches in the brawn flood.

Now it happened- that by a curious
coincidence Miss Newton also resolved to
look at the river. She dried her tears, and
putting on her hat slipped out the back
door to avoid Fred, and soon found herself
at the foot of a huge cottonwood tree
on the bank below the house. Throwing
herself on the grass, and lulled by the hub-
bling of the flood beneath her, she soon fell
asleep. Had she possessed any power of
forcseeing the future, it wbsld have been
the last thing she would have done, for
although it was very pleasant dropping
asleep there in the shade, with thesofi‘ sun-
light' filtering through the leaves overhead,

was checked; it plunged heavily and partly
turned over, its 'top became entangled in
the sycamore, and a terrible crash ensued,

and clear, 'and the fragrance of the orange

Do you ask me, starry eyes,
To describe the lover true ?
Wonder not at‘my surprise, ,
Who should'know as well as you. I
Think of all that you have seen,
All the lovers that have been ;_
He is true whose love is shown, ‘
For her sake, and not his own.
- 11
What he does, he does alone; .
Yet he hopes it wins her thought.
All that in his soul has grown,
To her sovereign feet is brought ;_
To his soul her image clings, I
. She seems wov8nin‘ all things. .
And each thought that in him stirs,
Is not for his sake, but hers.
-’ ' m.
For her sake he will endure,
For her sake will sacrifice;
Bravely hearing, her love sure,
Censure, slander, scorn, advice.
If another wins her heart,
Sadly he will from her part;
Sadly, bravely, true love is
For her sake and not for his. '

This is the true lover, sweet—
True as ever I am true'; ' , ~ -
For my love is all complete, .
Perfect since it comes flom you.
Darling, yet ’tis not true-no l" '

Kiss, and so shut speech away,
When old age our life has spent,
’Twill be time enough to say
What is love in argument.
For the present all stars shine;
You are here, and you are mine.
Love makes light, and song. and flowers,
For whose sake ?- Dear love, for ours.

LITTLE THINGS.
One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and'then another, »
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick upon another, '. ’
And the highest wall is made; ‘
One flake upon another, ’
. And the deepest anew is laid.
So the little coral workers,
By their slow but constant motion,
Have built up those pretty islands
In the distant,~dark blue ocean;
And the noblest undertakings .
Man’s wisdom hath conceived . _.
By orbrepeated efi'ort
Have been patiently achieved.
A little—’tis but a little word,
But much may in it dwell;
. Then let a warning voice be heard,
And learn the lesson wcti ;
-The way to ruin thus begins, '
Down, down like easy stairs;
If conscience suffers little sins, '
Soon larger ones it bears. '
A little theft, a small deceit, .
Too often leads to more; P ‘ ' .
’Tis hafi at first, but tempts the feet
As through an open door,
Just as the broadest rivers run
From Ismail'and distant ‘springs.
The greatest crimes that men have‘done
~ Have grown fl‘omllittle things.
