How He Met His Wife.

It was the middle of the year 1852 when our hero left Buculla station, In Gwyd their district, with a mob of seven hundred bullocks en route for the Victorian goldfields. He was accom panied by two Sydney friends, Harry Esmond and William Markham. All went well for a fortnight, until our trav ellers reached the Castlereagh River, when one afternoon a thunderstorm gathered suddenly. Just as the sun was setting, the rain came down in torrents; and the country was soon a sheet of running water. In the distance he descried some high ground, on which "he decided to camp for the night. It was some time before the cattle were quiet. Not until the lightning and 'thunder had ceased could the wet and Iweary riders think of attempting to make their camp fire. Even then two 'men were left to mind the cattle. .'After the horses were caught and hobb led out, Stanley found an old pine tree, the outer wet bark of which he cut off iwith his tomahawk. Obtaining some 'splinters, he soon made a blazing fire., which gladdened the hearts of all. The ; billy for tea was then slung, and all were soon seated at their evening meal. .As soon as he had finished his repast, [Stanley went to relieve the men at the .cattle-camp, and took the first watch. .The herd was restless and uneasy, but, Jafteran hour or so, gradually settled : peaceably to rest. The cattle were camped in a clump of timber; and when everything seemed quiet the two on watch thought that they might safely dismount. Suddenly the stillness was broken by a shrill scream. It was the cry of the native bear, and came from the opposite side to where the watches reclined. With one accord the terrified ' cattle rose and rushed toward the two .men, who had but just time to jump on : their horses and gallop away for their lives; otherwise horses and riders would have been trampled to death.

V Fortunately, a short distance from where the cattle had camped, and in ■the direction they had rushed, there was a plain on which after hours of galloping the whole herd steadied. Two men from the camp now joined the others; and all rode round and round the cattle and kept them gether until daybreak, when they were counted, and not one was found miss ing. About three weeks afterward they struck the Lachlan River, and travelled down it about 200 miles, reaching on one memorable day a freshwater lake, the surrounding plains of which reminded one of the green and stately parks which grace our English homes. It was a lovely spot* So Stanley thought as he saw it for the firs. time,, with the sun's last golden rays lighting up the placid waters, whose cal-Q unruffled surface reflected the shadbws of the gigantic blue gum, which grew here to an enormous height. Large quantities of game reposed fearlessly on the lake's lucid waters, and conspicuous amongst its smaller brethern the stately swan arched its gracefnl neck. It was such a peaceful scene that our hero involuntary felt how easily he could stay there had he but one with him who would be nearer and dearer to him 1 than all others —such a one who would more than make up for all he would miss out of the gay and busy world. He little knew what kind fate had in store for him. While getting some water before lying down to rest he noticed the glimmer of a light across the lake—his surprise was great, for he had thought that except for themselves themselves the place was uninhabited. He determined to go at once and dis cover the cause of the light. Return ing to the camp he quietly took up his revolver, I and without awaking his weary and sleepy companions, stole noiselessly away. He followed the iriafgiri of the lake for an hour or more when suddenly he came on a rough three-railed fence, and on looking up . saw the-light shining; brightly from the window of a log : hut embowered in native willows. He then thought it time to return to camp. But some unknown power seemed to urge, him forward ; and; reaching a thick shrub close to the window he gazed into* the room. . -, .

There he beheld an old man Seated ,by. a: blazing wood '■■ fire. _?dr-.some moments our hero stood contemplating the-'sCehe before him*, wondering whether the old man was the. Sole, Occupant of the hut. But he soon dis missed that idea from his mind; for everything "about-the room gave evi dence of a woman's"presencet. In one corner stood al table, oh .whichi.was 1 a well-filled work basket, just above it on the wall hung a guitar. Before the fire, hear, the, old man another fable stood. ,_. On it a book lay open; and by his side was an empty chair.; Ever and anon, 1 the old man looked toward the vacant seat as if impatient for the ab sent one's return. Gently at last.the: door opened;' and a yo(lh§ girl entered; She was in the first bloom of early ; womanhood. Of middle height' and perfect in form and figure; she frioved with the easy grace of a refined woman. But it was the face that rivited Stanley's gaze., Round the sweet mouth hovered a tender smile as she approachedand kissed'the old man's brow.'. In. the deep bltte eye, shaded by its daik la.hes, lay a depth of hidden feeling, and the calm thoughtful brow was crowfr-dby ** mass of golden hair which hung in iniling clusters to her waist. The still ness was so great that Stanly could dis tinguish every word which was spoken between the two before him. The words, I have k presentiment of coming eyil,' v made Stanley listen attentively, ' .':, '77. , 'What makes you dearest?' the old- man asked, ; ' Grandfather/ she replied, ' Mitiiig >that strange tribe of blacks which cante .here thtsijnorning, there was one man I felt afraid of. I njean the young chief

who asked for tobacco. From his threatening gestures ".when you refused I think he meant mischief.'

' Fear not, Mary,' he answered, ' God, who in His mercy has watched over us so long, will not desert us now,, and I feel sure he and his com panions are now far on their way to ward their mountain home.'

The girl then sat down and quietly continued reading. Suddenly she heard a stealthy step near the door ; and, almost holding her breath, she be held the dusky form of a savage creep ing along near the wall. In his hand he carried a nulla nulla ; and as he advanced into the light of the window Stanley noticed a vengeful look in his dark eye : which boded ill for the in mates. On reaching the door he rose to his feet, displaying to our hero's gaze a form of herculean strength. With a wild savage yell, he threw his whole weight against the door, and, bursting it open, rushed in brandishing his nulla nulla. , He seized the girl in his arms as her agonised shrieks for help rang wildly through the night air.

The old man sprang to the rescue; but a heavy blow from the savage laid him g-riseless on the floor. Then, with a yell of triumph, he was about to carry off his prize, when Stanley un expectedly appeared on the scene, and striking him a heavy blow, caused him to relax his hold of the apparently in animate form. The savage, recovering himself instantly, sprang like a tiger on his foe, and a terrible struggle ensued. Hefe our hero's early training as an athlete served him in good stead, for after a short but severe struggle he suc ceeded in throwing the savage on his back; his head striking the floor with such force that he was partially stun- Stanley placed his knee ori his chest, and was about to bind his hands with his handkerchief when the black recovered his senses, and, with one supreme effort of his gigantic strength, released himself, and, taking his nulla nulla from the ground, aimed a dread ful blow at Stanley's head. But, seeing his intention, our hero jumped aside, and drawing the revolver from his belt, fired at his foe's right arm and broke it above the elbow. The savage with a cry of pain, made for the door ; but Stanley, firing once more, shot him through the heart, and laid him a bleeding corpse on the threshold. Then, without an instant's delay, he drew the body nside, and returning immediately shut and bolted the door, fearing that the friends: of the savage might riot be far off.

Gently he raised the form of Mary; and, tenderly placing her on the old couch he proceeded by means of bath ing her brow and hands with water to restore consciousness. It was not long before the blue eyes unclosed, and, murmuring the word ■' Grandfather/ she looked imploringly at Stanley. Per ceiving her desire, he went at once to the old man's side, and as he raised the gray head to his knee the ghastly pallor of the face startled him, it looked so like death. )

'If I had but my brandy-flask,' he said unconsciously aloud, thinking of the friend who had served him well in many a needful hour, for it was a rule of his never to travel without his brandy flask in his saddle pouch. His voice seemed more than anything else to re store Mary to consciousness ; for, slowly rising, she tottered to her grandfather's side. Then, catching sight of the pale, rigid face, she threw her arms round his neck with a wild cry, imploring him in heart-rending accents to return to her. When tempest of grief had some what subsided, Stanley gently touched her on the arm, and said, ' Try to calm yourself, things are not•' as bad as you think. Your grandfather is not dead. If we had but'some stimulant to give him he would soon revive.' '..."

Mary rose, and brought from the little cupboard some brandy, a little of which with great difficulty thfey forced him to swallow., They anxiously watched 'theleltee'tiofitKe spirit, and soon to their great joy saw the color returning to the Old man's cheeks. Heaving a deep sigh, he J slowly opened his eyes, and with a dazed expression fixed them on his grandchild;- ,;: - ■ 'Is (h_.t yOu, Mary? What has has happened ?' he asked. . ' .'., 'Oh, grandfather, you have been ill; but you will 'soon be well again/and motioning tb Stanley they lifted him on to the' couch, and gave him a little more j_randy,the effect of which wholly restored his senses, for fortunately the blow he had received had glanced off his temple; and though it had rendered him insensi ble for the time being it was not in reality serious. " 'Soon afterwards they saw''him: falliintb a placid sleep;

.' How can I ever thank you ?' \S_iif " _xcl-.ir_.ed. "But. she stopped short, for the sound of approaching foot steps" was distinctly heared. Instinc tively moving toward Stanley's side for protection, she 1 said iri awestruck tones— ,. come ) They come! 1~. the savages miss, their leader, and will mur der 1 us when they learn his fate.' Stanley clasped her in his arms and exclaimed,'Do not despair. With my lite.l will defend both you and your grandparent. Let us ascertain the num btt bf our f6es fro-ii tlie -window. Hush ! : Those are not the stealthy steps of. a-savage. I see it. all; now. My comrades have doiibtless heard the reports of a revolver, and have come to learn the cau.e.' . ; , ," He then placed her in a chair by her grandfather's side and went out to meet therhy He soon explained the cause of his absence, and setting two armed men to keep watch over the house, he de sired the rest to return to camp,' and gave orders that the cattle should ;be herded where",tliey were, as he intended toiemainat the Lake for a few days, I

Those' day., were all too short for Stanley arid Mary, but long Enough for both to lesfn thb, sweet le.soh of,' lOye, andjhe night ; Before they parted the lovers plighted their troth under the tree where 1 Stanley hstd Stood ort that merno£aMefriig-it when h6 flrat beheld hiC loyed-prie's face.' : , How peaceful the;

lake looked. Not a ripple disturbed its quiet surface. All nature seemed hushed in repose. The moon looked smilingly down on the scene, and the stars shining so brightly in the dark vault of heaven Seemed to whisper words of hope and trust to the two seated on the rustic bench. His arms clasped her waist; arid one of her little soft hands rested lovingly in his as, with bowed head and blushing cheeks, she listened to his passionate words of love. Before they parted that night the two had gained the old man's consent to their union—a consent which he willing ly gave, for the frank and manly bearing of the youftg stranger, and his timely intervention On that eventful night, had completely won his heart. The parting of the two lovers we will leave to the imagination of our readers. Let us follow our hero to the diggings, where he arrived in due course. After dis posing of the cattle to great advantage he and his two friends took out licenses, and, pegging out a- claim, set to work in earnest at, to them, the novel occupa tion of gold-digging. Success crowned their efforts, and at the end of three months they divided the enormous quantity of ijj.ooo oz. of gold, which chey forwarded by escort to Melbourne. Then, disposing of their claim for a good sum in cash, they parted, with the j hope of meeting again at no distant date.

Twenty years have passed, but before closing our tale we must take a parting glance at our hero and heroine. It is Xmas Eve; and round the well-spread board are many happy, smiling faces. At the head of the fable sits a hand some middle-aged man, and though he is changed somewhat since we saw him last, we easily recognise our old friend Frank Stanley. As we look round our eyes fall on another familiar face, Mary, though now a comely matron, is still a lovely woman. No shadows have passed over the lovely face. The luxuriant hair has lost none of its old beauty. The lofty brow is untouched by care, for life has been to her one of unclouded happiness. She has been blessed in the enjoyment of a cheerful, happy home, and surrounded by all that woman holds most dear. And the years have passed peacefully by—so peacefuliy that she reflects with sur prise how time has flown since those dayS when Frank first woed and won her by the lake. Years have not altered her impressions of goodness, and she finds'ample scope for them in the province of her own household. There is a pause for a second in the merriment round the table as the door opens and a lady and gentleman enter. In the former we behold a lovely maid en, whose slight though well-rounded form and fair lace again remind us of days long passed. In her we see the first-born of Mary of the Lake. In the latter we see the the son of our old friend, Harry Esmond, and the future husband of our second Mary. One form is missing from that merry group—that of the old man, who has long passed away to the ' rest which knows no waking.'
