murmur a prayer for my safety.
Whether it was that unforseen events
call forth the latent - energies - of the
mind,.or the consciousness that I was
beloved by her for whom I would sac-
rifice a world, that roused the ardor of
my spirit, I knew not, but I entered the
crowded olub-room with buoyant and
excited feelings. . The accident to my
rider had transpired, and from some I
received sincere, from .others ironical
condolence.
I.hope, notwithstanding, that the -
homicide "will run," said the.Presi-
dent. - -
My tone and manner were not un-
marked; and while some were' recom-
mending me to effect a life • insurance, I
was coolly booking heavy odds, and so
continued til_l.every gentleman inclined
to bet them had een heartily satisfied..

better, as the r •e was not quite so
sure, I being, acc rding to his parlance,
" very like a lad who would make a
spoon or spoil a horn." Having bal-
anced -my book, I orrowed an old blue
jacket from the huntsman, left. the

outh- quietly to rest, to be ready for the mor-
, for row. - -
alter- Morning came, and. I felt rather
ame, queer. I began to discover that it was
any a no joke for nervous gentlemen to ride a
steeple -chase for the first time under
the critical examination of 30,000
spectators. But an -incident restored
my lucrdiesse. At breakfast a sealed
parcel was handed to me by the waiter;
it contained a beautiful pink and yellow
jacket. No note. accompanied it, but to
the cap a scroll' w, a attached, bearing
in a female hand t'ie motto, " May this
be foremost. Wh. se might the fairy
favor be ? My h :art whispered the
name, and I was n it mistaken.
The ground sale ed for' the race was
chosen with excell.:nt judgment, as it
afforded 'to the • ighty multitude an
uninterrupted view of the race from its -
eommencemen t to its close. From a
circular valley th shrface undulated
gently,. and the cou 'se, nearly elliptical,
stretched acress th a rising ground. In
the same field the s arting and winning
posts were placed' This was the favor-
ite stand. A lois : line of carriages
