command dcvolved upon our MAJOR, whose
name was Farewell Il. was middle
aged, dsshing fellow, given to social en-
i9ymeut on good terms with himself, sDC
,s a general thing, keeping on pretty gooC
e.rms nill. those about him. He was natur
ally free and esy, = foe soldier, and :
strict diseiplipsrian He was kind
hearted, generous man, though troubled
with temper that led him irtc error st
times. ,r
Major Farewell had been ia command
butra few weeks, when he concluded tt
send for bis wife TO come and stay with
him through the sumner He had cor
fJrtabie and commodious quarters, and
there was little danger that the Indians
would make apeiher attack. -5sz5 wa ..
was away on a foraglng expedition
when Mrs Farewell arrived, but return
ed on the following day, and was in sea
son to attend the party which the Major
gave on the occasion. The staff aud llne
officers, not kept away on duty, we're all
present, and Joy aud merriment ruled the
hour.
Mrs Farewell was younger thau her
husband-a handsome, portly woman,
bearing herself with peculiar gree and
dignity, without any effort at show or
affection. She assumed no needless
reserve, but treated her guests with kind
ness and consideration, seeming on J anx-
lou. that all should feel at home, and en-
JOY themselves. ' &
In that f.r-off region the laws of total
s5stinance we're not strictly adhered to;
and on the presen. occasion We rot only
emptied many bottles of wine, but sun-
dry bottles Of old bourbon were included
in the bill of fare. Towards midnight
the ladies' withdrew, but the officers were
not quite ready to retire. The Major
was in the highest spirits; and song and
story, with flowing goblets, gave us occu-
patton. BY and by, | proposed a toast,

with cheers. Why in the world the Ma
