wings were tied to his heels, while half ia
dozen horsemen gave chase. For while
it seemed doubtful whether the giant Col
would not distance even these, so much

national elasticity of his mighty muscle. -
But presently a charger fceter than the
rest might be discerned gaining on his
human rival, and approached so near that
the dragon ised his sabre for a c0a1o de
gr0Ce. O'Neil became conscious of his
da ger, and hastily slackoned his speed,
till the hot stream of smoke from the
horses no,trils appeared to minglc with the
very h,ir; and then wheeling suddenly, he
fired round from a rev iver, aud the
rider tumbled from his saddle. The victim

Immediately evident in the coution of their

so that O'Neil reached the river before
them. He paused not a moment, but
plunged headlong down the steep hank
into the current, and struck for the other
shore The Dragons discharged their
firearms Intellectually, and gave over the
chase.
In few minutes O'Neil landed, and as
soon as he felt satisfied that he was per-
fectly safe, burst into an insuppressivc
convulsion of Laughter and exclaimed, ut

The Two Brothers.

The following beautiful Arabian legend
we copy from the "Voice of Jacob"
The site occupied by the Temple of
Solomon was formerly cultivated field,
possessed in common bytwo brothers. One
of them was married and had children the
other was unmarried. They lived together,
however, in the greatest harmony possible,
cultivating the property they had inherited
from their father.
The harvest season had arrived. The
two brothers bound up their sheavcs made
two equal shocks Of them, and Left them on
the field. During the night the unmarried
brother was struck with an excellent
thought, My brother" said he to himself
"has wife and children to support is it
just that my portion of the harvest should
be as large as his ~ Upon this he ar, Sc
and took from Lis stack several sheaves,
which he added to that Of his brother +; and
this he did with as much secrecy as if he
/
his oiTerirs might not be rejected.
On the same night the other brother
awoke and said to his wife "My brother,

none to assist him in his labor, or reward
him for his tolls while Gcd has bestowed
on me a wife and children is it \! hit that
we should Ike from our common field as

put into execution.
In the morning, each of the brother
went into the field, and was much surprise
at seeing the stacks still equal. Durin
several successive lights the same contrI
vance was repeated on each side; eac

stacks remained the same. But one Ugh

THE LAUGHING HERO.
An INCIDENT OF rnrnAssAcRE AT aoL1AD.

The line was formed, and then broke
into two columns,when every ins rument oI
music in the Mexican host sounded merry
march, and they moved away with quick
step over the prairie to the west,
Five minutes afterwards, a singular di-
alogue occurred between the two leaders OF
the front columns of the prisoners.
"What makes you walk 50 lame Col.
Neil! Are you wounded ~ asked tall
handsome man, with blue eyes, and bravery
fla hing forth in all their beams.
"Coloncl Fannin, I walk lame for fear
Of ueins wounded do you comprehend y
replied the other, with a laugh-and such
lsugh as no words might describe, it was
so Loud, so luxurious, like the roars of the
bre kers of sea of humor-it was in short,
laugh of the inmost heart.
81 do not comprehend you, for l am no
artist ia riddles" rejoiucd Fannin, smiling
himself at the ludicrous gayety Of his
companion, SO strangely ill-timed.
You discover that | am lame in each
leg" said Col, Neil, glaucing down ut the
members indicated, and mimicing the
movemen of confirmed cripple, as he
laughed louder than ever. Aud yet" he
ded, in a whisper, 81 have neither
the rheumatism in my knees, nor corns on
my t. es, but have two big reyolyers in my
/ boots !"
" That is a violation of the treaty by
which we agreed to deliver up our arms, "
Col. Fannin mournfully suggested.
"You will see however, thaG shall need
them before the sun is an hour high,
replied Neil. "Ah, Fanuin, you do not
know the treachery of these base Mexicans.
At the instant the sun rose in sky o
extraordinary b?illiancy, and million OF
flower cups fung their rich odors abroad
over the green prairie, as an offering to thu
lord of light, when the mandate Of "halt'
was given by one of Santa Anna's aids
and the columns of prisoners were broker
up and scattered over the plain in smal
hollow squares, encirced on every side b.
Mexican infantry aud troops of horses
with loaded muskets and drawn swords
And then amomentary pause, awful in IL
stiffness, aud disturbed only by an occa
sipnal shrek of terror, and the most timi'
among the captives realized the impendln
, storm of fire and extinction of life's La
hope.
Col. Fanuin fell among the first victims
| but not SO with the giant O'Neil. Wit
q the order of the Mcxican officer to his me
E to fire, our hero stopped almost to tt

TIE Central America, it may be ncccs-
sary to state, is not new vessel, but an
I'D steamer, with new name. She was
built in 1853, by George Law, Of New
York, and bore his name until last June,
when it was changed under the following
circumstances
The George Lo'0 made her eighty-nnth
voyage, and arrived st New York on June
l3. When she reached the Quarantine,
an indignation meeting of nearly seven
hundred passengers was held, at which
such str ny resolutions, complaining of the
treatment received on beard, including
provisions neither of the best quality, nor
in the greatest abundance, tha, to get rid
of such a reputation she went out, on her
next voyage, as the Central America.
1t will be impossible, we f ar, to obtain
anything like correct and full list of all
