fire was first discovered breaking out in the up
per works, fore and aft about half after three o.
clock, and spread with such rapidly, that all

get on the ground. A yawl boat was launched
by some persons who succeeded in cutting hole
in the side so that the hull filled with water and
sunk before the fire had burnce much in her hold
The engine did not fall through the deck, but is
probably damaged, some say to the extent of
$4,000. The original cost of the engine was
$2000O the value of the steamer about $50 900.

~ou'u De more appropriate, toward tho rem
osztous OF the tories. When they reach
"a the top of hill half di-tant from Mr.,
Warburton's house, they saw comsanv
OF men, whom they Immediately recog.
nized as tories, dismounting from their
horses, and one OF them advancing to th,.
house. What Was TO be done Harry
was for dashing amongst them, and scat
ter'ng them right and LETT for he feared
hnn'e's falling into their hands. Not 10.
however, Marion. He knew they would
be perceived by the tories, who would
mount their horses and escape. And he
had no idea Of being baked thus IN his
scheme, and allowing the enemy 10 es-
cape with whole hides. A different view
OF the mater presented itself to his mind
and was adopted. Turning from the d.
rect road, they took circuit through a
dense forest, and tielng their horses, they
threaded deep ravine. which led toward.
and terminated within about seventy wards
OF the house. As this ravine was wholly
concealed by trees and thick underbrush
they fastened w without fear of being
discovered, and IN reaching its termina-
ton saw the whole tory company with the
exception OF one who had charge Of Mr..
and Mrs. Warburton drawn up short
distance east OF the house. In the UNDER
brush they concealed themselves, and
waited impat'entIy till Harry who had
the house between himself and the tories.
and was crawling stealthily toward It
could reconnoitre, learn the state Of at-
fairs, and it not too late, render Annie
assistance. When he had arrived within
a short distance OF the house one Of the
tories pointed his rifle IN the direction Of
the head of the ravine where Marion and
his band were concealed, and they, think
ing they We're discovered fired. Stealth
was longer unnecessary, and Harry with
one bound burst through the door, deter
mined to hazard every thing upon the die.
Luckily for him no one was present but
the tory leader, Mel Arlington, and the
reader knows the fate he met,
When Anne opened her eyes-for she
had only swooned, it was some time be-
fore she could realize her situation; but
when she did-when she recognized
among the company OF armed men who
surrounded her. her father and mother
and Harry her joy was complete.
1t is unnecessary to say more except TO
inform the reader, that before another
month rolled away Harry led fine charm
ing Annie to the altar; and though he
lived to see his country freed from British
oppression and many years after, to enjoy
the blessings Of that liberty he had helped
to obtain, he never regretted TIE REsoun.

rushed like liquid flame through he,
veins, and casting a whitening glance
upon her tormehtor, although the dark
nes prevented him from seeing the mean
ing OF those black eyes, aud feeling the
force ofthat look effectually, she fled to-
ward some one whom she discerned ap-
proach ed her.
"Girl you shall repent this! Well
meet aga'n!' broke from the lips ofNiel
who had also perceived the individual
approaching; and turning from the path
he leapeda fence and was soon lost 10
sight.
The person advancing was no other
than the father Of Anne, who as he was
taking an evening stroll had happened to
see her; and was joining her for the pur-
pose OF accompanying her home. He
was soon informed of what had tax IN
place and when the Warburtons retired
to rest that nisht--it was with stronger
convictions than ever, that Mel Airing

youth OF nineteen rode up to the Gener-

"GeneraI," began the youth Tor Mar

General, we want you down in our Sec

without waiting t. hear more-It's now

ride. "To horse TO horse before the
sun rises tomorrow we must give these
graceless scamp, touch of our metal
AYE, aye, boys, We must teach them a
lesson they'll not forget soon."
10 know there were tories about was
incentive enough 10 arouse Marion's men
to action at any minute, and in few
moments every man was on his good
steed, equipped and ready for the march.
A ride Of from sixty to hundred miles
IN the course OF day was no great feat
Tor these brave men to accomplish; and
as they rode along at toleraby brisk
pace, they chatted and laughed about the

upon the tories so unexpectedly, and
shooting them down like dogs. For a
good shot at a tory was desirable OBJ
jet; and there was not a man in Mari
on's band but preferred drawing bead on
one to eating hi, dinner.
Harry Dalton though generally in a
merry mood appeared unusually grave
and quiet as they rode along, and kept
asking the youth who had brought the
news, questions, and urging the men to
renew their speed or they weuld be too
late TO him every hour seemed an

gloomy m'sgivIngs! To think, perhaps,
she, his lite, his light. his all, should fall
into the hands of Mel Arlington, and all

The fearful thought filled him with re-
newed energy; and squirting on his noble
barb he entreated his comrades to hasten
their gait. His entreates were obeyed
every rider plunged his spurs into the
TANKS OF his horse and they dashed over
the road at furious pace.
