the neck of his charger. Onion he came
like bolt from Heaven, while his charg-

bounded into the midst of it. A blow
from bis battleaxe severed the thong,
which bound Lataka, in an instant, and
before his startled & astounded claDsmen
could recover from their surprise, he had

the sinking form of the rescued damsel.
A moment suffieed to place her on the
fleet palfrey that bowed his neck to the
beautiful rider--in another they were
speeding like the wind before the smooth
prairie, while before bis disappointed and
baffled countrymen could mount in pur-i
suit Petaleshsroo had placed broad
strip of forest between them, and the in

The Pawnee and his bride enjoyed the
blossoms of summer IN another land, But

zette contains an excellent story, in
which the following anecdo,e is related.
A sailor was sent aIoft in gale, and in
few moments afterwards was seen in

rescued. The captain delighted with
the success of his mannuvers, and with
the happy attempt of saving the life Of
one of his crew, sent for Jobic 10 come
aft.
Jobic, streaming with the water
which he had drank, presented himself
before the captain with his glazed Ieath-
er hat in his hand.
GLOW did thappen, my poor fellow
that you fell overheard ?"
"May it please your honour" said
Jobic, "l did not fall overboard-l
jumped off the yard on purpose"
"Hew is that ?-Are you drunk Z"
"Beg your pardon, captain but the
fact is, my hat, which cost me nine
francs, fell overheard lit was my last
land as knew that boat would no,
be put off to save that, / threw myself
from the yard into the sea, that we
might both be saved together, and here
it is ia my hand just as you see it 7"

yesterday, Mr.. -, aged -, a
promising citizen, much lamented."
Not being fully convinced of the
truth Of the statement, with all speed

buried.
The man was reminded of bis re-.
,u..sness and we never heard that he
ever after forgot his promise TO the
printer. He was better pleased with
the joke when he learnt that the death
was only inserted in the copy which
was sent him.
