Hir John Ilora. the well-known navigator, is dead, lie lived tn be ocarly eighty years old ; and within the las' five months, ' I heard blm tell the story of bis first love. Thus il earns about. We were wont to meet him at lb# house of a mutual ftiend, where he was always a welcome goest ; he | - came and went ae he lipted, and had bis hammock swung in a chamber wbrro the | .temperature soiled him be«t, fur ha lovtd a j cold, clear atmosphere, tn a word, be w:>» j . the centre of as charming a group as shall I bo eevn any day in the great metropolis. Blooming faces shone upon hint, merry songs greeted him ee he toiik hie piece heside the cheery besrlb In those cold evenings in spring. One bright-bairwd cresture wilh rosy line claimed him ever as her own, seated binl beside her on the velvet roach, celled him '."her dear boy," which delighted the ancient mariner beyond all ' things, and at last drew from him the tale^ referred tn. I had been reminding bim of an eld friend now dead, aud of Whom he had not heard for many years. Ae I spoke, a tide of eLriy recollections swept up sod filled the old mac's syes with tears. * "Ah " sa<l he, "he was a eery kind friend to- me ; we had been schoolmates, and'then we went to sea together. After ' a while we purted, und I entered the royal ; j navy ■ when 1 next saw O , I wae j cuuimander on board the — — . He waa- . on the quay at Greenock ehrn 1 sailed in, and littlo thought that iho vessel carrying a royal pennant was Commanded by Johnny Ross. I landed and went up to him with a man who knew ut both. "O ," said the latter, "do yon remember little Johnny Ross!" "Well," answered O— , "and a pre"cious little scamp he was 1" "On this," observed Sir John, "we shook . hand", and renewed oar acquaintance, and I bid reason to be glad of it;',' "for," he repeat*!, "O— — r was rtry kind to me." "Now about Margaret," said the bonnie creature beside him. "Ah ! she was a noble girl ! When 1 first knew bar she was teiv*nd I wai about twelve years old. We used to walk home - together from the school, and at first very, very happy j but before long the children '« began to watch oa, mad we were obliged to make signs to one another about meeting. - I Blind well how shame-faced we were when the other* caught ni making tignals before breaking up ; aud one day the master taw us, aod il was on that occasion Margaret •bowed such spirit end courage as made me never forget her. • "I bad got out of school," he costiened, after a short pause, "and was wailing for bar, never heeding the children laughing at me, as I stood watching for the sight of her bonnie face, for she was very fair." 1 1 cen by no aaens describe the palhoa of the old man's tone as be said this. "When I. began to think she waa in tronbla and 'kept in,' I hid myself till the place waa claar of other folk, and theu I crept round and pooped ia at the window of ts aid* room, where scholars in disgrace were pot sometimes. Poor Margaret was indeed there, silling upon e box, very forlorn, end erying bitterly. 8be brightened op at acsing my face in ike wiuduw-ptne, end smiled when I told her I had been waiting for her. I declared I would be revenged on ont hard master, and went at once to the school to carry oat my plan. This wee oesy, for wo i one vrel there. i "Jest over the master's desk was a shelf, on which stood e large ink bottle ; and near to thia again was the hat with which the - dominie always cjrordjime^ .bow ^e

the desk, took a piece of airing froai my pocket, tied the ink jar and hat together, - then descending from my perch, left the room and rau round to the side wiodew to 1 prepare Margaret for the leenit of my device. Then I ran home to diooer, and returned to school in the afternoon. 1 "I was late. AH the children were in the room, end at the master's desk stood Margaret, with scarlet cheeks but triumphant eyes, just receiving the lest blow of the | leather oil ber open band. The punishment of my mischievous revenge bad been 1 • visited opon her. 1 Streams of ink discolored the waster's " face ; and books and desk, on which lay the ' I brcikrn iok jar, were eatareUd with it. -j < j The master himself was forioes ; aod the | • more ah that Margaret bad borne the iofitc- j 1 tion like a heroine, io perfect silence, reao- j 1 lately refuaing to give up the name of the . i delinquent, whose accomplice »b« waa sc- | 1 eased of being. She looked at me as sbe j - moved defiantly away, aod tba expression ! 1 of ber eye warned me not to speak. It was i indeed too late. I harried from the room j before I was observed; Margaret walked proudly after me, and for the last time we look oor way homa together from school. I raooot do jostles to this story as told by tba old navigator. Nearly seventy years had passed away, and yat the memory of hia child lore was still a green spot io life . heart. The pathos, too, was enhanced by the Scottish accent, which dignified, so to speak, a little history that finely Illustrate* - the exqoiaite poem, "Jeauia Morisou"— I've wandered east, I've wandered west, I've borne a weary lot ; Bat in my wanderings, far or Bear, ' Ye never «ere forgot. The foont that first bnrst frsc tbia heart Still travels on its way, ' And channels deeper as it rins The luve o' life's young day. \ | Ha said all this, aod much mora thou 1 { . I can do jaalica to. Tba whole pictora of tba j ( twa bairns— "t«a bairns and bnl at baart' ' | — rose before me, as, blushing, frighuned , i | and silent, they "cleekit thegither Lame" I after school. • 'Twee then wa luvit eaeb ither weal, ' 'Twa* then pa twa did part ; Sweet time, sad time, twa bairrs sleet n!e, Twa bairns and but ae heart.

He and Margaret met bat twice afterE wards. He dwsll most on the first of these ? meeting*. "I was travelling," be said, "in 1 Scotland, when the 'coach stopped to take up a passenger. The moment the door ' opened, J knew her at met, bat she aides remember me j" he sighed as ha said this. - "Than," ha contioaed, "I told bar who 1 I was, and reminded her of old times, thirty i years before, aad of that atory of the ink ' bottle, ssd the beating she bad got for my • saka.
