The consciousness Of his disapproval
has made me affect coldness to you

The tears fell fast as she spoke,

head TO be drawn to her lovers

and already unhappy beings held
each other in a first embrace.
1t was only for a moment, how
ever, that Ellen yielded to weakness.
Raising her head and brushing the
tears from her eyes, she said, while
crimson bushes oyerspread her face.
"And now farewell-perhaps all

"God bless you for those kind

CHAPTER ii.

| Heard ye the din OF battle bray,
Lance to lance, and horse to horse.-GRGY
1t is well known that, after the de
feat of Gates, Congress hastened tc
supersede that general, and appoin
Greene to succeed him. At the pc
riod of the incidents narrated in tht
last chapter, the new commander-in
chief had arrived in the South, anC
was organizing his forces.
His very first proceeding showed
the resources of an intellect, which
in military affairs, was second only
TO that of the "father Of his country
Aware that the initiatory step toward
redeeming the south was to arouse
the confidence of its people, he de.
termined to divide his force. While
therefore, he moved with one portion
down the Pedee, he despatched Nor.
gan, with the remainder, west of the
Catawba, in order to encourage the
inhabitants in that quarter. Nor
gan's corps was accompanied by
Capt. Washington's light dragons,
Of which our hero had already
become d conspicuous member.
This division Of his army, in the
face of an active foe, would have
been a capital error, but for the po-
litical advantages it offered, and
which overbalanced the military
ones. CornwalIis, then in command
Of the royal army, determined to
Illustrate the success Of Greene's plan
by cutting off Morgan's detachment;
and accordingly ordered Col. TarIe-
ton, with his renowned dragons,
accompanied by competent force Of
infantry, to give pursuit.
ii was on the I4th Of January,
1881, day ever to be remembered
in the annals of our country, that
the heroic Morgan learned the dan
ger in which he stood. He deter
mined Immediately TO give battle
For this purpose he halted at place
called the Cowpens, and having
drawn up his troops, awaited, though
not without anxiety, the appearance
of the foe. t-
The attack Of Tarleton, as usual,
was impetuous, and for awhile the
American militia were driven help
lessly before it; but soon they rallied,
under cover Of a few coniinentals
belonging to Morgan's command,
and in turn forced the British TO give
ground. These brave soldiers Of the
line, led by their colonel, now charged
with the bayonet, when the route OF
the royal infantry became complete.
Washington, with his cavalry, had
been waiting impatiently chance to
participate in the fight; but having
been stationed as partial reserve,
the order for him to engage did not
for some time arrive. His troops
shared his enthusiasm. Composed
chiefly Of young men of family, and
mounted on thorough bred animals,
they presented a formidable appear

The Ladder Of 80. AugusfIne.

BY henry W. LoNGFELLow.
Saint Augustinel well hast thou said,
That Of our vices we can frame
A ladder, if we will but tread
Beneath our feet each deed of shamel
All common things--each days events,
That with the hour begin and end;
Our pleasures and our discontents
Are rounds by which we may ascend.
The low desire-the base design,
That makes another's virtues less;
The reveI of the giddy wine,
And all occasions of excessl
The longing for ignoble things,
The strife for triumph more than
truth,
The hardening Of the heart, that brings
IrreYerence for the dreams of youth!
All thoughts of ill-and evil deeds,
That have their root in thoughts OF
ill.
Whatever hinders or impedes
The action ofthe nobler will
All these must first be trampled down
Beneath our feet, we would gain
In the bright fields of Fair Renown
The right of eminent domainl
We have not wings-we cannot soar
Bot we have feet to scale and climb
BY slow degrees-by more and more
The cloudy SUBMITS ofour time.
The mighty pyramids of stone
That wedge-like cleave the desert airs,
When nearer seen, and better known,
Are but gigantic flights of stairs.
The distant mountains, that uprear
Their frowning foreheads to the skies
Are crossed by pathways that appear
As we to higher levels rise.
The heights by great men reached and
-7fab kept.
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
Standing on what too long we bore
With shoulders bent and downcast
eyes,
We may discern-unseen before
A path to higher destinies.
Nor deem the irrevocable Past,
D. As wholly wasted-wholly vain
If rising on its wrecks, at last,
To something nobler we attain.

"He is Dead" cried the leader,

He tore away the garments as he
spoke, but uttered cry Of Joy when
he exposed the chest, for there, right

But hundreds OF lots and gardens have got no old
