Turning the corner of a much fre- quented alley, he observed a young lady standing in a perplexity, ap- parently measuring the depth of the muddy water between her and the opposite sidewalk with no very satia- fied countenance. The sailor paused for he was a great admirer of beauty; and cer- tainly the fair face that peeped out from under the little chip hat and au- burn curls hanging glossy and uncon- fined over her muslin dress, might tempt a curious or admiring glance. Perplcxed, the lady put forth one little foot. when the gallant sailor, with characteristic impulsiveness, exclaim- ed: “ That pretty foot, lady, should not be soiled with the filth of this lane â€"wait for a moment only. and I will make you a path.” So, springing past her into a car- penter’s shop opposite, he bargained for a plank board that stood in the doorway, and coming back to the smiling girl who was just coquettish enough to accept the services of the handsome young sailor, he bridged the narrow black stream, and she tripped across with a merry “thank you,” and a roguish smile. making her eyes as dazzling as they could be. One little act of politeness will sometimes pave the way to fortunes and prcl'crmcnt. The following sketch fully illustrates this fact 2â€"â€" Alas! our young sailor was perfect- ly charmed.â€"Whnt else could make him catch up and shoulder the plank. and follow the little witch to her home. She twice performed the ceremony of “walking the plank,” and each time thanking him with one of her eloquent smiles. Presently our hero saw the young lady trip up the marble steps of a palace of a house, and disappear within a rosewood en- trance. For a full moment he stood looking at the door, and then. with a wonderful big sigh, turned away, disposed of his drawbridge, and re- turned to his ship. The next day he was astonished with an order of promotion. Poor Jack was speechless with amazement. He had not dreamed of being, exalted AND RICHMOND HILL ADVERTISER.

He kncw he was com- petent, for, instead of spending his nmncy for amusements. visiting the theatres and bowling alloys 01: his re- turn home from sea, hc purchased books and became quite a student; but he expccied years to have iuler- vened before his ambitious hopes wou‘d be realized. A young gentleman who says he lives in Culpepper county. Virginia. has recently met with expezicnccs in New York which give him entirely new ideas in regard to the female character. He states that as he was crossing \Vashington l’ark, about ten o’clock one evening, he was accosted by "' the loveliest girl he ever beheld,” who told him that she had. a dying mother at home, and begged hint to hasten thither, and if possible help to save her poor parent's life. The young Culpepperian, overcome by the appeal, drew the supplicant‘s arm within his, and set out for the “scene of suffering.” They had not gone far, however, when a stout and ferocious- looking man suddenly sprang upon them and exclaimed “ Ah'! I have you now! You’re a pretty miss, are’nt you! And you, you young rascal; you’re the villian who has poisoned my home and broken my wife’s heart! But I’ll have vengeance now!" The girl sobbed and begged “her father” not to kill her, and also to spare “ Har- ry" whom she loved dearer than her own life. The young gentleman was perfectly bewildered. He could only account for the condition in which he found himself On the hypothesis that in some oblivious moment, when in a state of intoxication, he had won the affections ofthe lovely girl by his side. and ruined the peace of a once happy family. He Was recalled from his speculations on the subject by the gleam ofa pistol barrel. the muzzle towards his brain. The "outraged father,” with fierce imprecations, or. dered him to prepare for ‘ instant death.” The girl implored her “in- exorable parent" to relent, which at last he agreed to do on condition that the infatuated pair would agree never to see each other more. To this the young Virginian readily and fervently assented. whereat the devoted young lady see tied mug-h grieved ; but after embracing him violently she walked away with a melancholy air. The “father” watched her un'il she disap- peared, and then with 21 Warning His superior officers seemed to look upon him with considerable leniency. and gave him many a fairoppm'lunity of gathering marine knowledge. and in :1 year the hands-mm, gentlen‘mnly young male had acquired unusual fu- vor in the eyes of the portly com- mander, Captain Hume. who had first taken the smart little black-eyed fel- low, with his non! turpaulin and tidy His homily but earnest act of pr). litulicss towards his child hiltl pleased the captain, and although the youth knew it not, was the cause of his first promotion.
