as he spoke the royal prisoner sprung sud-

his hand, and held it cleaning before his
eyes, exclaiming, Gone word, miscreant

"Tbe King the King p shouted the
struggling soldier, extrcaing his arm, and
drawing pistol from his belt; but his ac-

narrow staircase.
"The King KingW echoed again and

they sought not'thus to profit by the surren-

Ellen in his arms; then recognizing the king,
dolTing his bonnet and bending his knee,
he exclaimed, Z" Mount, mount, my liege

Ii was no time for parley. a stout steed
was ready at the door, and young Edgar,
hurriedly whispering to Ellen, once more
embraced her, and then led the way for his
royal master.
''Good betide thee, fair Elem" cried the
king, F." and God speed the day that brings
me power to requite thy kindness" Then
springing to the saddle, the horses hools

the rocky pathway, and then died away on

tough yarn about man on Grand River,
who, being annoyed all but to death by
mosquitoes, crawled under an inverted pot
ash kettle to get out Of the way of the tor
mentors. HIS first emotions Of JOY for his
happy dellverance, and SECURE assylum,were
hardly over, when the mosquitoes having
scented him, commenced drilling away at
the top of the kettle, and the first thing he
knew, several bills were presented him
which he determined to have protested at
once. Having hammer in his pocket, he
clinched them down as fast they came
through, until at last such host of them
were fastened to the poor mans domioile
that they rose and flew away with it. leav-
ing him shelteress. We hate to leave
man in bad fix, but we came off after ne
