THE SILVER MOON.
A SONG

A SONG.
As strayed from my CO., at the close Of the day.
To muse on the beauties of June
Meath a Jessamiue tree spied fair maid
And she sadly complained TO the moon
Roil on, silver moon-gude the tray Ter his way
While the nightingaIe's song is in tune
For never, never more with my true love will
stray,
BY the sweet silver light of the moon.
AS the hart on the mountains, my true love was
brave,
So handsome, so manly TO view;
So kind and sincere, and ho loved me so dear
oh, Edwin my love was so true.
But now he is dead, and the youth once so gay,
Cut down like a rose in full bloom;
And ne silently sleeps, and I'm thus left TO weep
Meath the sweet silver light of the moon
Buthis grave I'll seek, when the morning appears
And weep for my true love so brave;
I'll embrace the cold earth, and bedew with my
tears,
The flowers that bloom on his grave
Oh never again can my heart throb with Joy
My best one hope TO meet soon;
Kind friends then will weep DER the grave where
we sleep,
BY the sweet silver light of the moon.

From the Cine 'nrati Commercial.
THE REBEL PEDLA
ICoHolEdsd from last Nsct's Ga,eifc

/ CHAPTER ".
For some time the British Captain rode
on in silence, while the guide strobe before
on foot, taking the up river route. About
! two miles from the house of Steel, the
road ran between high bluff and the San
( tee, skirtlng on the foot of the hill. and
leaving but a few feet between it and the
stream. This pass extended for nearly a
mile, when the bluff abruptly ceased, and
Il lovely valley, nearly haif a mile wide.
spread out from the river.
1t was a lovely moonlight night and the
sabre hills glittered in the silycry RAYS. and
the measured tread of the horses hoofs
sounded out plainly upon the midnight air,
as the band swept down the hill and en-
tered the black pass. Here all became
dark, the tall trees which grew on the side
of the bluff efiectually screening the road
and shutting out the moonlight. save here
and there a struggling ray fell athwarl the
path as ii lit up for an instlnt the drcarv
way.
Just half way through the pass there is
a narrower spot than at any other, where
n ravine comes down from the high lands
and emptes into the Santec. Across this
a rude way had been dug by cxcavating
the banks and the road, after gaining the
bottom, turned down it, as though roinp
directly into the river, but when near the
stream suddenly mounted the bank. and
again wound on between the bluff and riy-
er. The bottom of this ravine was dark
as pitch, and as Langsford and his men
followed the pedIar down into its depths,
they lost sight Of him altogether.
Ordering a halt, the Captain hailed in
low voice, called for the guide, but no an
swer came. Again and again did he sum-
mon the pedlar, each time in louder KEY,
but in vain: and with a muttered curse
upon the stupidity of the guide, Langsford
ordered his men to advance.
Scarcely had the body once more began
to move than Il loud crash was heard in
the ravine above them something came
tearing its way through the brush which
lined the steep hill side, and large stone
bounded into the ranks, crushing horse
and rider beneath it as it fell.
A moment of confusion ensucd, amid
which the groans of the wounded trooper
could be heard, when a loud voice, which
thrilled like molten lead upon the nerves
of the British, was heard exclaiming:
Right lads-give them the others p
And, like rush of destructive lorna
do, large quantity of rocks came thun-
dcring down the hill, landing with fearful
accuracy among the excited troopers, and
creating sad havoc among the horsemen.
Sold : shouted Langslord, in voice
which rose far above the din and umull
around them. "Sold by pedlar Re
treat in the rear there, and let all follow as
fast as possible
AYE, Sold Numbered voice in reply,
as the Captain ceased, and the blood of
those you have loully murdered during our
absence calls loudly for revenge. Upon
them, comrades, and spare not man .

as pitch, and they could hear steps of sew
eral beside themselves near the end of the
hall, when crash after crash came against
the door, fairly making everything creak
as the heavy blows descended upon the
panels.
Follow me up stairs muttered Bod
man, in a low tone, and silently they
groped their way TO the second story.
As they reached the top of the stairs,
the light shone out from the room where
the carbines had been discharged, and they
hurried to the door. Five troopers stood
prepared for conflict within the apartment,
while two dead bodies lay stiff upon the
floor.
To discharge a volley into the room
which killed every trooper, was the work
of a moment, and then rushing forward,
Brady thrust a candle into the window
and uttered loud well known shout. 1t
was answered by twenty men, and in a
few moments several of Marion's men had
mounted the ladder into the room.
The remainder of the contest was of
short duration. The British fell to a man,
while scarcely an American suffered in the
strife.
The wound received by Mary Steel
turned out mot to be mortal-and shortly
after her recovery, which happened about
ten weeks subsequent to the attack, she be-
