THE BRIDGE OF A MOMENT.
BY MARC. RET cAvENDIsu.

1t was on d ferry boat that he fell in
love with her. It was love at first sight.
as the phrase goes; one often quoted con
temptuously, though it furnishes us many
instances OF copjugal happiness.
Well, to whom do this masculine and
this feminine pronoun relate7 you in
quire. To which I answer: Steady go
ing, retiring, plain looking John Moore,
who lad crossed on this terry-boat for
years without ever seeing woman's face
or form which he cared to meet the" sec
ond time. Not that he was one of those
women dissecters who continually turn
the most natural movement or unstudied
smile into an elaborately preconcerted
scheme to capture unwalY bachelors. 70
be courteous and Kind to all, more espec-
tally women, was one of the rules of his
life; SO, when Helen Ives drove up to
the ferry house in that much degraded,
though very useful, conveyance known as
a hack, and throwing aside her heavy
Grape veil, proceeded to open the door
a proceeding much retarded by her veil,
for some reason Immediately falling over
her face again--John Moore came for
ward, bowed, opened the door and assist
ed her to alight.
She thanked him quietly; and then he
lost sight Of her until she stepped on
board the boat. A moment and she was
seated and in the act of securely fast
ening back her veil. That moment was
the supreme one ofJohn's lite. He never
forgot it through all time.
Was this object he was looking at a
woman2 One of those creatures with
WON he had occasionally danced and
laughed?
Surely there must be something differ
ent about her, or why this sudden inter
est2 He felt as though he knew her
history and that be was born to be of
some use and help to her; that he would
believe implicitly anything she might
tell hlm-or wish him to believe. Not
that his thoughts or impressions came in
such an orderly and distant manner as
| that. He was only conscious of strange
delight and unacccuntable rhrobbing OF
his heart.
No doubt by all this you think she
was some beautiful, ethereal young being,
all charms and graces. But let me I'M
NSSSAsS foO a. OuCO. Ouc Was Ouly d
moderately handsome woman of about
twenty tive; graceful, certainly, but with
no voiuminous drapcry or other intrica-
cies of aounce, plat OF fold. Her fair
hair, guiltless OF crimp or puff, was put
plainly back from full, white forehead,
while beneath it gray modest eyes kept
their watch. A mouth somewhat larger
than the rosebud style, but still sweet
and resolute. These were the attributes
or secondary considerations, for over all
was such an air OF calmness, sincerity and
womanliness that you felt rather than
saw the attraction.
Perhaps not another man on the boat
looked upon her with such reverence as
the glamored eyes of John Moore. If
others noticed her at all it was with the
reflection that she was undeniably LADY,
But as Cupid had been long neditating
an attack, and not wishing to lose his
well earned and long maintained reputa
t1on as a marksman, he choose this mo
ment when his victim was all unsuspe ct

arrow aimed at his heart.

The Lifetime of Man,

When the world was created, and all
creatures assembled to have their life
time appointed, the ass first advanced,
ana asked how long he would have to
live.
"Thirty years." replied nature; " will
that be agreeable to thee2"
''Alas!" answered the ass, sit is a long
while. Remember what wearisome ex-
lstence will be mine; from morning until
night | shall have to bear heavy burdens,
dragging corn sacks to the mill, that
others may eat bread, while I shall have
no encouragement, nor be refreshed by
any thing but blows and Kicks. Give
but portion o. that time, pray!'
Nature was moved with compassion,
and presented but eighteen years. The
ass went away comforted, and the dog
came forward.
"How long dost thou require to liye9'
asked nature. thirty years were too
many for the ass. but wilt thou be con-
tent with them?''
SIS it thy will that I shoulds' replied
the dog. "Think how much shall have
to run about; my feet will not last for 80
long time, and when shall have lost
nv voice for barking and my teeth for
biting, what else shall be fit for but to
lie in a corner and growth
Nature thought he was right, and gave
him twelve years. The ape then appear
ed.
"Tbou wilt, doubtless, willingly live
the thirty years." said Nature; thou wilt
not have to labor as the ass and the dog.
Life will be pleasant to thee"
Sab, mol" cried he; $50 it may seem TO
others, but it will not be! Should pud.
ding ever rain down, l shall have no
spoon! I shall play merry tricks, and
excite laughter by my grimaces, and then
be rewarded with sour apple. How
often sorrow lies concealed behind i.st
[ shall not be able to endure for thirty
years."
Nature was gracious, and he received
but ten. At last came man, healthy and
strong, and asked the measure of his
days.
will thirty years content thee2'
''How short a timer exclaimed man,
when shall have built my house, and
kindled fire on my own hearth, when
the trees snail nave planted are about
to bloom and bear fruit, when life will
seem to me most desirable l shall die.
O, Nature, grant me longer perod!'
''Thou shalt have the eighteen years of
the ass beside"
THAT is not enough replied man.
"Take likewise the twelve years OF the
dog"
at is not yet sufi Gent" reiterated
man; "give me more"
81 give thee, then, the ten years OF the
ape; ia vain wilt thou claim more"
Man departed dissatisfied. Tous man
lives seventy years. The first thirty are
his human years and pass swiftly by. He
is then healthy and happy; be- labors
cheerfully, and rejoices in his existence
The eighteen years of the ass come next,
and burden upon burden is heaped upon
him; he carries the corn that is to feed
others; blows and kicks are the wages of
