Worshipping an ‘‘ideal,’’ indeed! my most charming remembrance did not begin to do justice to the beautiful reality. A soul fullof tenderness and sensibility seemed to have found a fitting home in a person and face of perfect loveliness and grace. She blushed when, looking around, she chanced to see me, and again the play of ex- pression on her features which had so interest- ed me formerly, charmed me. As mother and I returned home, I described my fair neighbor, and asked my mother who ‘Her name,’ my mother said, “is Grace Denny, and she is the loveliest, the most su- perior young women I have ever in my whole lige met.

I did study, however, and study hard, and at the end of the term passed examination with high hon- ors—mach to my dear mother’s pride and joy. I determined to be wiser when I saw her again—to discover beyond a doubt if I were beloved, before I committed myself as I had done by foolish speeches.

ADvsnrurs wits Bearns.—The editor of the Louiston Fells (Maine) Journal has recently made an excursion to Umbagog, and gives in the columns of his paper an interesting ac- count of the experience which he ered during his wild and picturesque tour. Speak- ing of the bears which abound in that vicinity, he says that on the day provious to his arriv. at what is called the * lake settlement,” a brave little boy named Warren Bowley, nine years of age, son of Isaac Bowley, bad a contest with a bear which near proved a se- rious ope for him. The account of the fight Tan thus: “Old Bruin made a visit to the oat field, a few rods from the house for his ev: meal; when Warren concluded to ag ae e var- mint with a few buck-shot. took the gun and fired at the animal, wounding and en- raging him. Young Bowley, nothing daunted at the fighting propensities jayed by bruin, attacked the old fellow with a club, and went in for a ‘free fight’ in which he stood a fair chance of coming off second best. The boy's mother gave the alarm to the father and an older brother, who were at work « short dis- tance from the house; they at once made their appearance, when old bruin concluded to de~ camp, deeming any further contest too has- ardous as the odds were + gees him. The family gave chase to the old chap, but being provided with nothing suitable for his capture or destruction he made his escape. On the Tuesday following he crossed the road a short distance from the house with a sheep in his mouth. The same lad in attacked him with a club ; he dropped the sheep and made his escape. This same animal, a short time since, as we are informed by Mrs. Bowley, paid her a visit. He put his fore paws on the window sill, thrust his and shoulders inte the room, and quietly took his leave.”” A Nation or Murnopists.—The religi mission to the Friendly Islands, in the Ocean, has been so successful that the en’ 2 5 ieee become a nation of Methodists the whole population, from the king (who is a “local preacher’) down to his meanest subject, attend the Wesleyan ministry.
