A Fortunate Kiss.
The following pretty little story is narra-
ted by Frederika Bremen, who vouches tor Its
truthfulness
"In the great University of Upsula, in
Sweden, lived young student, noble
youth, with great love of studies, but with
out means of pursuing them. He Was poor
and without connections. Still be studied,
lived in great poverty, but keeping cheer
full heart, trying to look at the future,
which looked so grim to him. His good
humor and excellent qualities made him
beloved by his comrades One day he was
standing at the square with some Of them,
prattling away an hour of leisure, when the
attention of the young men became arrested
by young and elegant lady, who, by the
side of an older one, was slowly walking
over the place. 1t was the daughter of the
Governor of Upsula, living in the city, and
the lady was her governess. She was gen.
orally known for goodness and gentleness
of character, and looked at with admiration
by all the students. As the young men
stood gazing at her as she passed, like a
graceful vision, one of them suddenly ex-
claimed:
"Well, it would be worth something to
have kiss from such mouth"
The poor student, the hero Of our story,
who looked on that pure, angelic face, ez-
claimed, as if by inspiration:
"Well, I think 1 could have it?"
"What?" cried his friends in chorus !;
care you crazy? Do you know herW
"Not at ALL" he answered, "but 1 think
she would kiss me if asked her"
"What in this place, and before all our
eyes,"
eyes"
"Freely 7"
"Yes, freely"
"Well, if she would give you kiss in
that manner, will give you thousand dol
lars !' exclaimed one of the party.
"And I, and l." exclaimed three or four
others, for it happened that several rich
men were in the group, and the bets ran
high on so improbable an event. The chal-
lenge was made and received in less time
than we take to tell it.
Our hero (my authority tells not whether
be was plain or handsome; I have my Pc
ouliar reason for believing that he was rath-
er plain, but singularly good looking at the
same time Immediately walked up to the
young lady and said:
"Mine frulien, my fortune is in your
hands.
She looked at him in astonishment, but
arrested her steps. He proceeded to state
his name an condition, his aspirations, and
related simply what had just passed between
him and his comrades.
The young lady listened attentively, and
at his ceasing to speak, she said blushingly,
but with great sweetness:
elf by so little thing, SO much good
can be effected, it would be foolish in me to
refuse your request; and publicly, in the
open square, she kissed him.
The next day the student was sent for
by the Governor. he wanted to see the
man who dared to seek a kiss from his
daughter in that way, and whom she con-
sented to kiss.
He received him with scrutinizing bow,
but after an hours conversation, was 80
pleased with him, that he ordered him to
dine at his table during his studies at Up
sula.
Our young friend pursued his studies in
such manner that it soon made him the
most promising student at the University.
Three years are now passed since the
first kiss, when the young man was allowed
TO give the second kiss to the daughter of
the Governor as his wife.
He became, later, one of the most noted
scholars in Sweden, and was much respect
ed for his character. His works will endure,
while time last, among the works of science ;
and from this happy union sprang family
we'll known in Sweden at the present time,
whose wealth and high position in society
are regarded as triAes in comparison with
its goodness and love.
