when I was

was rich in classical and legendary
lore, but still jnoro in sterling and

so many deserters from the corps by
this time, who shall too more return,
that i -wisli to cherish tha- persua

them, will bo far better. ? My friend
and j were sinons the thickly. strewn
mountains and ragged iockt of tlie
wildest branch rr HigUands, where
there is a rcmarka Jlo ra, which
chievoos intent, crow ilecf my fears,'
by giving with startling effect, the
following narrative: A young man
once ast ended from this, but when
he came to the t'ip, he im aiitioiily
ft'ood bold, upright in the cradle,
and the moment ere -it was lauded,
being impatient to get out of it, he
made an, a ' venturous leap for t lie

out a stay, tied bark on the impulse
of his spring, and fearful to think,

cradle till it be firmly landed on the
rock, and all w ill be sare." He as
cended and. I prepared to fullow.
- I thought of the young man's leap
and fall, 1 figiif ed to myself the spot
where' be alighted, and the rebound
he made when he met the ground,
Wrjve? lTtwe to rise.', And as 1 took
my seat, my limbs sniote one anoth

my eyes bent-downwards, and -was
encouraged the nearer 1 got to the
bottom. , ; But on my ascent, though
I Jooked all thew h ile .upwards, I
was trcmbruigij- alive io the fact,
that 1 was ever getting into higher
danger.; l)tc!d the spread cords, as
