BOARDING THE MINISTER
A VERY PRETTY STORY.
by sYLyANUs COBB, JR.


"But you don't mean to say that you are
going to board him?'
II told him we would"
"But it mustn't be. What Have a min
lister all the time"
"Aud why not"
Because it will just keep us in starch and
buekram for everi You shan't do it?"
81 have given my word"
"Then I'll make this house too hot to hold
himl Mark my words"
This conversation was between Mr.. Thom-
as Proctor, a master carpenter, and his
daughter Kate. Kate Proctor was light
hearted, joyous, laughter-loving girl of egh-
teen or nineteen; plump and rosy; her bright
face, all smiles and dimples and her heart as
pure and tender as could be. Ever since she
could remember, she had sat in her fathers
pew every Sunday, and listened to the dark
and gloomy preaching of Rev. Calvin Leador.
She could remember how he had frowned up
on her from that high pulpit when she was a
little girl, and how he had chded her at her
own house for being so rude. The only
thought she held of "the minister" was of a
white neck-handkerchief, very starch and

ways ready for smile or q jest, like cloud
sweeping over the sunny landscape.
"He shan't conelp she repeated, and her
sunny curls shook again as she brought her
head back with determination. "Let him find
place somewhere else. There is the More
good family; they are just the ones to keep
him. They can be as gloomy as be can
How should love to see them at the table
together. The old lady would draw down her
face-so-n and Kate gave an imitation Of
the imaginary facial elongation. "And then
minister would draw down his, longer still;
and then Miss Prudence would try to outdraw
them both and by and by somebody's Jaw
would be broken"
And thereupon Kate burst into fit o.
laughter. Her father shook his head ane
with some light remark turned away.

THE RovER's BRIDE.
By CHARLES BoYEToN.

We have somewhere read of an outlaw, in the
Archipelago, who in disguise, having won the af-
fections of a Pacha's daughter, fled with her in
open boat towards the haunts of his band but, on
learning for the first time the name of her lover
which was associated in her mind only with deeds
of blood and rapine, the maiden was SO shocked
that she threw herself into the sea- prefering death
to becoming Pirates bride.l
The weekly ledger., 1857-07-25

When wild winds were sweeping
Their path DER the deep,
And the blue waves were leaping
In joy fomr their sleep
The bark of the Rover
Was launch'd in the bay,
And the maid and her lover
Sped fast and away.
Awayl DER the ocoan
Their light shallop flies,
And the billows' commotion
1t proudly defes;
wayl-though the breakers
Have kissed their white sail
Are the fugitives borne
On the wings of the gale!
In vain will they strive
Who attempts to pursue;
For her home is fast fading
In distance from view
Till at length 1t has vanished,
And nought meets the eye,
Save the white foamy sea,
And a dark frowning sky
'Who art thou, my lover?"
The maiden then cried
THAT hast won from rich Ali
A portionless bride?
Thou saidst | had heard
OF thy deeds and thy fame,
Yet know not thy station,
Thy country or name"
Then loud laughed the lover
"My name would'st thou know?
am Hassan, the Rover
Thy sire's deadly foel
He made me Pirate;
And now, at my feet,
His daughter is kneeling,
Aud vengeance is sweet!
"My bold-hearted crew
And my vessel are near
As the bride of their chief
Thou hast nothing to fear;
'Tis through thee, not at thee,
level the blow
That pierces the heart
OF proud Ali, my foe."
Pale, pale grew her cheek,
As the maiden replied
''Nol the daughter of Ali
Shall ne'er be thy bride!
Base outlaw thy deeds
And thy name well agree;
/ will wed with the waves
Ere / consort with thee!"
While yet her proud words
On his startled ear Tung
From the deck of the shallop
She fearlessly sprung.
The wild waves close o'er her
The gales mournful tone
Sighs dirge DER her grave

Chivalry and Horses.

An English lady of rank and wealth, now
in Egypt, writes home as follows: fear you
may deem me rather boastful of my horse
manship, when tell you that sbe two Arab
horses which threw their cavaliers did not
throw me. The cause, however, was not my
skill, but in the very remarkable prediction
these intelligent animals feel towards the
weaker sex. Let the wildes. and fercest
Arabian be mounted by woman, and you
will suddenly see him grow mild and gentle as
lamb. | have had plenty of opportunities
to make the experiment, and in my own sta
bic there is beautiful grey Arab. which no.
body but myself dare ride. He knows me,
anticipates my wishes, and judiciously calcu-
lates the degree of fatigue can bear without
inconvenience. 1t is curious to see how he
manages to quicken his pace without shaking
me, and the different sorts of steps he has
invented to realize contradictory purposes
Horses being as liable to forgetfulness as 9th
er organized beings, my Incompatible gray
would follow his natural ambition to overcome
bis gallantry, and, il another horse threaten
ed to pass him, would start off with the speed
of q whirwind. Woe TO me, if, under the
circumstances, were to trust the strength of
my arm or the power of the bride! | knew
the gallant charger better. Leaving my hand
quite loose, and abandoning all thoughts of
compulson, / would take on persuasion: pat
him on the neck; call him by his name; beg
him to be quiet, and deserve the piece Of SUI
gar waiting for him at home. Never did
these gentle means fail. Instantly would he
slacken his pace, prick mp bis ears as if fully
comprehendng his error, and come back to
soft amble, gently neighing as if to crave par
don for his momentary offensep
