From the Boston Transcript.
In the University OF Upsala. /,
Sweden, lived q young student. q lor@
ly youth, with q great love for st,,d;.-.
but without means for pursuing then
He was poor and without connect;nma
Still he studied, lived ingreat noysrt.
but keeping up a cheerful heart. AL
trying not to look a. thefuture. w5;es
looked so grimly at him. His ooos
humor and good qualities made b;r
beloved by his young companions
Once he was standing with se.
them in the great square of Upsals
Willing away an hour of leisure, whar
the attention of the young man wa.
arrested by avery young, ~elesanr ladv
who at the side of an elderly ona
walked slowly over the place. It Ma.
the daughter of the Governor OF In
sala, living in the city, and the lady
with her was her governess. She was
generally known for me-. af4sSz
and gentleness of character, and WA
looked upon with admiration by rs,
students. Astheyoung men now stood
gazing at her. as she passed on ike !
vision, one ofthem exclaimed.
"Well, it would be worth somethim
to have a kiss from such a mouths
The poor student, the hero of on,
story, who was looking i|ntentiy on
that pure, angelic face, exclaimed az 1
by inspiration: "Well, | think could
have it,"
"Whatl'' cried his friends in ehhesf;=
care you crazyY Do you know her?'
'Not at ALL" he answered; Fbut i
think she would kiss me now if ! asked
her"
What, in this place, before all our
eyes?"
I'm this place, before your eyes,
Freely"
Freely"
"Well, if she will give you a kiss in
that manner / will give you S1,oO0fr
exclaimed one OF the party.
"And IH' "And II" cried three OF
four others; for it so happel ed that
several rich young men were Ia the
group. Bets ran high on so improba
BILE an event, and the challenge YVES
made and received in less time thenwe
take to relate It.
Our hero (my authority tells menot
whether he is handsome or plain; j
have my peculiar ideas for beiievinghe
was rather plain but singularly good
looking at the same time)-our hero
Immediately walked off to the. young
lady and said: fMein FrauIien, my
fortune is in your hands" Shelooked
at him iii establishment, but arrested
her steps. He proceeded to state his
name, condition, and aspirations, and
related simply and truly what passed
between him and his companions.
The young lady listened attentively,
and when he ceased to speak, she saidt
blushingly, but with great sweetnest;
s'If by so little a thing so much can be
effected, it would be foolish for me to
refuse your request" and she kissed
the young man publicly in the open
square.
Next day the student was sentfor by
the Governor. He wanted to see the
man who had dared to seek a kissfrom
his daughter that way, and whom she
he'd consented so to kiss. Hereceived
him with q scrutinizing brow, but after
an hours conversation was sopleased
with him that he invited him to dine
at his table during his studies at Up
sala.
Our young friend now pursued his
studies in a which soon made
him regarded as the most promising
scholar in the university. Three years
were not passed after that day OF the
first kiss when the young man was al
lowed to give a second one to the
| danghteg of the Governor as his IN.
tended bride.
He became later one of the greatest
scholars in Sweden, as much respected
for his learning as for his character
His words will endure forever among
the works Of science, and frcslh ls hap
py union sprang a family well known
in Sweden at the present day, ano
whose wealth of fortune and high posi- l
ton in society are regarded as small
things compared with wealth OF good
ness and love.
