her was her goyerness. She was generally
known for her goodness and gentleness Of
character, and was looked upon with adml
ration by the students. As the young men
now stood looking after her as she passed
on ike graceful vision, one OF them ex'
claimed:
"WelI, it would be worth something to
have Q kiss from such mouth.
The poor student, the hero OF our story
who was looking intently on that pure, an
selc face, exclaimed, as if BY inspiration

walked off to the young lady and said;
"Mein Fraulein, my fortune is in your

to state his name, condition and aspirations
and related simply aud truly what passed
between him and his companions.
THE YOUNG LADY LISTENED

she said, blushingly, but with great sweet
ness: IF by so little thing so much can
be effected, it would be foolish for me to re-
fuse your request" and she kissed the
young man publicly in the open square.
Next day the student was sent for BY the
governor. He wanted to see the man who
had dar ed to seek kiss from his daughter
that way, and whom she had so conse uted
to kiss. He received him with q scrutniz-
ing brow, but after an hours conversation
was so pleased with him that he invited
him to dine at his table during his studies
. Upsala.
Our young friend now pursued his studies
in a manner WHICH soon made him regard
Cd as the most promising scholar in the uni
versity. Three years we're not passed after
hat day of the first kiss when the young
man was allowed to give second one to
the daughter of the governor as his intend
ed bride
He became later one Of the greatest Scho-
ars in Sweden, as much respected for his
learning as for his character. His words
will endure forever among the works OF
science, and from his happy union sprang a
family we'll known in Sweden at the present
day. and whose wealth Of fortune and high
position in society are regarded rs small
things compared with wealth of goodness
ard love.
