J. l i A skin' of dazzling whitene, eyes of the fairest blue; and locks that were really 'brown in t!ie shade and golden in tho sun,' united to a form of exquisite symmetry, made her seem, indeed, a second Ellen of the Lake. She was attired i;i while. with a single rose in her bosom. As she stood, poising the light oar, while her skiff floated down toward i the spectators, each inwardly declared that he had never seen anything so lovely. ! Siddeuly a noble dog which attented one of the young men, perceived the skirt and its occupant; and breaking through the uudergnwth, gained the immediate shore of the lake, where he stood barking f iriously. The unexpected appearance, so close at hand, of she scarce-; ly knew what, startled the f;ir; stranger. She lost her balince, and in the eflbit to regain it upset the skill: A slight scream as she beheld her danger, a vain look at 1 the blue sky overhead, and then ' her white form disappeared, with a! splash, beneath the deep waters, i The two young men remained, for a moment, paralyzed spectators of the catastrophe. " Then the tal-; ler of the two, and the one who j bad first spoken, rapidly parted the : underbrush before hiin. and nans-; ingon th rocky shore to mark where the white dress was sinkmsr in the lake, plunged headlong down". The Xewfouinil.ind d oir. at the s.une moment, leaped into the lake, tallowing his mister. ! Like an arrow shot from the skv, : through the profound depths of the waters went the form of tho rescuer. In less than a minute the form of the drowning girl w.is encircled h one arm of the slran-er. while wi:V the other, he assisted his accent to ine surkiee 01 the lake.
