"Albert," at length spoke Mr. Atkins, laying aside the paper which he had been reading, and moving his chair nearer to where the young couple sat, "when do you enter college ?" **And I hope mean to improve your time to the best advantace." *"Oh, certainly," was Albert‘s reply ; but "You must excuse me, Mr. Landown, for I couldn‘t do such errands, even for you. I only wish the rest of the young men in our town needed no more eultivation in meanners than does Jared Walker." This seemed to operate as a sort of damâ€" per upou the rising spirits of the young exâ€" ciusive, and it was sometime before he could rally, but at length he managed to regain his wonted speech, and for a while he rattled away at a mass of "small talk," to which his listener only snawered by ocâ€" easional m nysyllables. "Perhaps he isâ€"ah, I don‘t doubt. But he netually bowed to me in the street this morningâ€"bowed to me when I was in comâ€" pany with a couple of friends from the South. Really, I felt as though I should sink through the sidewalk. Hadu‘t you better speak with him, and tell him not to recognize me in the street again ?" "Better manners!" iterated Laura, lookâ€" ing up with surprise. "Why,I thought Jarâ€" ed was one of the most serupulous of young men in his manners !" "Ahâ€"is it possible ?" uttered the youth with a condescending air. "Yes, it is just like your father, always kind. But this master Jured needs some better manners." "He used to work for father, but he died a few years ago, and Jared came to live with us." "Oh, that is Jared Walker. He lives with us now. Don‘t you remember his fatherâ€"old Timothy Walkerâ€"that used to live in the httle black house back of the college 2" "Seems to me I did remember such a name ; but I never knew him." "Laura," said the young man, after the usttal civilities of the meeting had been pasâ€" sed, "who is that young fellow that works around your garden here ?" L One summer‘s evening,while Mr. Atkins and his child were sitting in one of the ‘dmwing roomis, & visitor was announced. He was a young man, and both the merâ€" chant and his daughter received him kindâ€" ly. His name was Albert Landown, and be was the child of wealthy parents. Young Landown, though only about nineteen,was considered the favored suitor for Laura‘s hand, and from his manner it was evident that he had the same opinion himself. If he possessed any peculiar traits of character they were rather of the negative kind, though perhaps his love of self, and pride in wealth mauy have been of rather a posiâ€" tive charaeter. Now far from the dwelling of Mr. Atkins stood a collegeâ€"one of the most flourishing and noted in the Union. Mr. Atkins himâ€" self had never had the advantage of a colâ€" lege education, but he had yet picked up a vast deal of intormation, than a man could not gain in a lifetime within the walls of a eollege ; bui the old man was a friend to the institution, and he was the best friend to that youth who made the best use of his in the merchant‘s employ. When his father died he was left poor and fmendless, and Mr. Atkins hired him to take charge of the garden and stable. He had now been with his present patron a little more than two years,and during that time had proved himself not only capable of all things which he undertook, but also most serupulously | faithful and trustworthy. ‘ Attached to Mr. Atkin‘s establishment was a young man named Jared Walker. He was about eighteen yeurs of age, and was the son of a man who had once been In one of our large suburban towns liyed ! a man named Jolin Atkins. He was one of those mer who had made their way to ’ wealth, affluence and honor, by strict inâ€". tegrity and attention to business. Evory‘ penny of his great wealth had been honestâ€" ly earned, and he richly merited all the love and respect that were Lestowed upon | him. Mr. Atkins was now a widower,‘ and his household affairs were managed by | his daughter, a fair, blooming girl of eightâ€" f teen summers. â€" Her name was Laura,and . her beauty and wealth made her the[ object of a vast number of ardent admir-l Learn to waitâ€"life‘s hardost lesson, Conne, perchance, through blinding toars ; While the heartâ€"throbs sadly echo To the throad of passing years.

Thus a sou‘, untouched by sorrow, Aims not at a higher state ; Joy soeks not a brighter morrowâ€" Only sad hearts learn to wais.

At first some of the students were inclinâ€" ed to be uncivil towards the poor youth,for they found that he enjoyed all the opporâ€" tunities for advancement that they did, but his uniform gentleness and unobtrusiveâ€" ness, and his quiet upright conduct soon won most of them to his friendship, but there was one in the college who still affecâ€" ed to scorn him. Early one morning, *s Jared was going across the college yard with a buckst of On the first of the nezt week, Jared Walker took his new situation in the rooms of the college, and on the same day Albert Landown was entered as a freshman. One was poor, the other rich. One came there to study for the future, and the other came because it was fashionable. One came with the determination to be a man, and the other came that he might appear a man. It was hard work for Jared to speak,but be managed to promise what his patron had asked and then he bowed his head and wept. Hehad not expected such kindness. In his orphaned heart he had laid down rules for life, but he had not looked for such sympathy and assistance in his hour of need. Each one of those tears that fell from the young man‘s drooping lids, was a volume of thanks to Mr. Aitkins, and he knew it. He saw at once how noble was the heart he had touched and he felt hapâ€" pier far than as though he had found a mine of gold. ‘"Well, well, perhaps you do. ButIwill let you go to the college and try the plan you have formed, on one condition." ""What is it ?" asked the youth. "That you will consider my house your home : that you will spend your Sabbaths and also such of the holidays as you have to spare. You will have no other home, and this will come handy for you." *"And have you not helped me ?" cried Jared with enthusiasm. "I have had your books, and I have heard your econiums upon educated men. I owe it all to you, sir." "Jared," he at length said, "I think I have been kind to you ; but that is no reaâ€" son why I should now be unkind. You could not have done a thing to give me more real joy than this, I knew not that you had such a desire for learning, or I would have helped you myself." For some moments the old man was siâ€" lent. There was a rich moisture in his eyas, and his nether lip trembled. "Oh, it is not that, Mr. Atkins," quickâ€" ly cried the youth. "God knows I shall never find a nobler friend than you have been. But I have got a future to liveâ€"I have got a manhood to prepare for, and I miy never find another opportunity like the present. But I dida‘t seek the place, sirâ€"they came of thoir own accord and: offéred it to me." | "But what is it, Jared ?" ‘‘Why, sir, the professors in the college want me to take care of their rooms, and in return they offer to instruct me in all the branches taught in the college. I can have half of every day snd nearly the whole of the evening.for study. Yet, sir, I will not go if you had rather have m stay with you. You have been very kind to me,and I would not for the worldâ€"not even for the edusation I covetâ€"leave you if you wished me to stay." * Say on, say on Jared," said Mr. Atkins, showing by his tone and manner that he was disappointed. "If you have found a better place than this, of course I would not keep you. If you can find a better friend than 1 am, you may go to him." "I want you to do just as you think best, Mr. Atkins. You have been very kind to me, and God knows that I would not be ungrateful. But I have a good chance to go to another placoâ€"a chance toâ€"toâ€"." ""What is the matter, Jared? What‘s the matter?" kindly asked the old man, as he noticed the youth‘s perturbation. "Bitdown, sit down, and out with it." Jared took a seat,and after a few moments of anxious silence, he said :â€" The old man had just taken his seat again to read a little more in his paper boâ€" fore he retired, when some one rapped upon his door. "Come in," said he. It was Jared Walker who entered the apartment his face all tremulous with emoâ€" tion, and he seemed to be laboring under some great anxiety. "He is young and inexperienced," said Mr. Atkins to himself, after the youth had gone, "and I suppose don‘t like too much advice, I know how it is with these forâ€" tunate young men ; they want age to sharpâ€" en their understandings." The old man gave his young friend conâ€" siderable good advice, but Albert seemed to pay but little heed, and at length the task was given up. "Perhaps they might, but those who are wise would not take the money with ignorâ€" ance ; they would rather have the education, for that is by far the nobler portion." *‘*Yesâ€"I suppose so," said Albert, and then he added, with a slight Iaugh, "and I suppose they would like some ot my money, _ ‘You have great udvnnta'ges." resumed the old man, "and it behoves you to make best use of them in your power. Iknow of many a poor boy who would give half the liberty of his lifetime if he could but have the opportunity for an education that you have." it was epoken in that oftâ€"hand manner which indicates no great depth of purpose, have had every opportuuity to prepare yourself, but you see you have neglected it. I am sorry, but I cannot help it." "Will Laura accompany you ?" faintly "So it wouldâ€"so it'would.-" uttered the young man, turning first pale and then crimson. . "Can I not go with you ?" have ‘"Not now, Albert," râ€"etumod'l(r. Atkins. «You arenot qualified for the place. â€" You _ _*"I dipped into SBpanish some, but got sick of it." **Well, I am dissappointed." "Eh !" uttered Landown, starting up. "I say I am dissappointed. You are probably aware that I have received an apâ€" pointment, and that I had some thoughts <f making you my secretary, but that is impossible now. I had thought that a residence of a few years in Europe, upon‘ a good salary, would please you." "I suppose you speak the language, then 2" ""Well, as for that, I don‘t know. I can read a few sentences, but what‘s the use ?" "Anything that is worth doing, is worth doing woll," said the old man, somewhat severely. "Did you study Spanish and Gerâ€" man ?" "Yesâ€"I studied itâ€"‘twas, fashionable you know, and I had to study it." *‘Ohâ€"about right," retmned the young man, with a little laugh. "I got through, but ‘twas a tedious job. I thank heaven we go through college but once in a lifetime." "You studied French, I think," the old man continued, not seeming to have relish ed the previous answer much. "Well, Albert," said Mr. Atkins, as the young man wae at his house one evening, "how stands your education now ?" Mr. Atkins was not a great politician, but he was, nevertheless, a warm adberent to his political party, and ons moreover, who weilded a vast deal of influence. The Presidential chair of the nation had just been filled by a new incumbent, and new appointments were being made. Mr. Atâ€" kins was selected to fill the important post of a forcign minister. It was more than he had expected â€"more than he would have dared to hope forâ€"but it was no more than he deserved, and his superior knowâ€" ledge well fitted him for the place, ‘ Years were not long in passing away,and the collego term at length expired. _ Four years had gone by since Jared Walker first became a servantat the coliedge,and he had now come forth with & wellâ€"earned diploma. Even the Professors were astonished at the amount of learning he had managed to amass to himself, and when he received degree of Master of Arts, those who beâ€" stowed it knew that it was given to one weli qualified to claim it. ‘ ' The two had been conversing together for some time, but the introduction of Lan down‘s name seemed to strike a chill to the moods of both, and shortly after they seperated. But it was not their last conâ€" versation, for they conversed often, and with mutual profit, too. _ Sometimes Mr. Atkins sat by and heard them, and he never failed on such occasions to show by his manner that he enjoyed it much. Yet Mr. Albert Landown was regular in his visite, and once he had asked Mr. Atkins for Laura‘s hand, but the old man bade him ‘ wait until he had graduated from college before he thouglt of such a matter. ‘ «‘Perhaps soâ€"he says he shall," replied Laura. "But he does not seem to make much of his studies." **Will not Mr. Landown study the lanâ€" guage ?" Jared asked. "That‘s right," continued the fair girl, "for I am going to study it and it will be so pleasant to have some one to converse with." "Not yet," answoered Jared, "but I going to study it." "Have you studied French yet ?" she asked one day, one sabbath afternoon as they sat together. ’ Time passed on, and Jared won more and more upon the respect and love of his professors, and they showed their love by rendering him every assistance in their power. Every Sunday he passed beneath the roof of Mr. Atkins, and that kind old man was highly gratified to find how rapid was the advance which the youth made. But yet he knew not all towards which Jared‘s mind was grasping, â€" Bometimes Jared sat and conversed with Laura, and he was surprised to find how deep and clear was her understanding. ‘ _ Jared did not dare himself to make a ’ reply, for he was touched to the quick, and ho knew if he gave liberty to his tongue he might say too much, so he picked up his pail and started on his way. Perhaps it was well for Jared that this affair hap. pened for from that moment he was reâ€" solved that Albert Landown should not be the best scholar. _ **Now look ye," continued Landown, "‘this makes the third or fourth time you have epoken to me sin:e I entered collge, and I want no more of it. I thought my silence might have given you the hint. Now don‘t you dare to recognise me again, for I don‘t choose to be on terms of intimacy with every floorâ€"sweeper that happens to know my name." water in one hand, he met Albert Landown. To be sure, Jared was dressed in a working garb, and from the very nature of the work he had been doing, he was somewhat dusty ; bus he still thought it no harm to speak, and with a bright smile he bid the other *‘good morning." "Stop you a moment," uttered young Landown, turning red in the face. â€" Jarcd stopped and sat down his bucket. "Now look ve." continued Landawn TORONTO board. ‘The Com.an:;'mv“u;-:s‘;; 1‘: swed, and will no. suffer serious los:. of the ofthe cargo had been killed aud turown overboard during the voyage.

The new invention would, as the Cavalier asserts, make the turning of vessels quite easy and render collisions imâ€" probable. The Cavalier Balsamo has erâ€" hibited a emall vessel of his construction on the bathing basin before the Porta del Popolo.
