 At the breaking out of civil distw b. ances in Canada a few years since, old Dr.. K., resident of Barnston, boldly avowed his disloyalty. Wherever he went--and his professional services were constantly required ll one direction or Eanother-he loudly denounced the gov ernnent, and advocated reform. By the Eopposite party, he was of course consid- cred dangerous subject i; the more so, because he possessed great influence in the community. Every few days, some ncighbor not so generally esteemed as the Doctor, for having hinted tho indul gence of sentiments in unison with his own. was arrested, imprisoned, and his estate, great or small, confscated yet himself escaped being reported to the Ehigher powers, and went on, inching the people to rebellion. a....
 At length, however, a knowledge of bis radicalism was by some means con veyed to,the ear of authority, and orders for his arrest were forthwith issued. As the Doctor was leaving the house of a patient one dark evening, a.perscn whom in the darkness of the night he could knot distinguish, ran up to him quite out kof breath and exclamed-
 Ride for your life, Doctor, Her Mai esty's hounds are at your heels.' a' F.
 The next instant, the informant had leaped the wall by the. roadside and dis appeared in the darkness without giving the other time to pake one inquiry He had no reason to doubt that the warn ing was given in good faith. and the man. ner in which he galloped away. proved his intentiea of turning it to good ac = count. In very brief space of time his fleet beast had carried him over the three miles that lay between him and his Ehome, and-was reined up before the door !, Leaving his carriage aad entering the house. he ia few words apprised his Ewife and daughter of the state of affairs and declared his resolution of fleeing to the States.

 There was less perturbation in the household than might have been expect. led, for the reason that this result of the Doctors bolt!nsss of speech, had beel Efrom the first anticipated. Indeed. eact of the three felt less surprised that the Eroxal. officers were now on the track. thar Ethat they hadssuferedS him to go. thus long unmolested. Scarcely had the Doctor, with the assistance of his wife transferred his money and his yaluable papers from his desk to his pockets. when the daughter. pale and trembling. rushed in crying, sss 4ss3 l

The mothe and daughter were both pale with ap prehension. and in Epite Of her ulmos efforts, the lalter's voice was slightly tremnlous as she resumed the reading which her father entrance had inter rupled.
