CuDid on Ice.

One Of The prcttiest tricks of the season of that
sad rogue, Cupid, was witnessed few days age
at a skating party, not II hundred miles from our
capital city. A company cf young men and
maidcns, and some grey boards too, had met at
the fine pond in the vicinity Of, during the
first days of the late "cold snap" and among
them were q young lady and gentleman, both
strangers in the neighborhood, and 10th on &
visit to friends.
The sport had begun, and all was going timer
ry as a marriage bell" when the young lady
whose name for the present shall be Belle, glid
ded away in advance of her companions, toward.
the centre of the pond. Every eye followed hel
in admiration as she spun around in May cir.
cles, or darted away in liu es as straight and un
erring as geometry. 1t was beautiful practice
and the lady in her excitement, did rot motto,
that the ice began to bend around her, but sew
eral of her friends who were nearest her saw it,
and cried out to warn her of her DANGER
Strange as it may seem, she grew paralyzed with
terror and though she kept ner feet she was inca
pable of moving from the spot, and stood gazing
as if fascinated at the place wi ere the ice began tc
show signs of breaking up.
1t was high time for some one TO attempt 6
rescue, and Henry- the strange young mar
rushed forward as fast as steel could carry him.
A moment of anxiety, of breathless suspense, and
he has reached her; and now, with his arm around
her waist, with the treacherous ice bending be.
meath their feet, he guides her rapidly to place
of safety. The horrid spectators see the water
gushing up a few yards behind them; and at last
shed that were not put down in that days pro-
gramme.
The acquaintance begun under such circun-
stances soon ripenedsinto mutual regard strong.
er than friendship, and as truth is often stranger
than fiction, they are to be married soon.

1t was not long before Van Dyke returned
with his party, whom he gathered by signal
and as night had fallen, they took their station
amid the willows by the banks of the brook,
where they could remain unperceived. For the
space ofan hour all was still, when the distant
tramp of horses was heard on the road
Here they come said Van Dyke. Each
choose his man, but leave Claasen to me-you
will know him by the cap he wears I will give
the word when to fire.
In a short time the parry of horsemen rode up
BY the Willows, and sure enough they were red
conts, beaded by Lieutenant with Claasen.
Ere = shouted Van Dyke.
So sudden and deadly was the aim, that not
more than half dozen remained in their saddles,
and they wheeled and their horses fed as quick
as possible. Van Dyke had Intentionally aimed
at the horse of Clanson, and he fell with his
rider. To secure Claasen was the work of a
moment.
Now, lads, bring out the ropes and throw it
over that willow branch. We have alarmed the
enemy and they will he down upon us.
"Mercy mercy 7 cried Claasen.
All in vain. The moose was slipped over his
head, they strung him up, and there'he was left a
corpse. The burning of the Willows had been
avenged.

very well,' said the young man; stay about
here, Prince till | come backl'
And he joined the crowd within
by and by the young man; wished to refer to
his watch, when, behold the chain had been
snapped in two and the valuable time piece was
gone. He consideredsthe case a moment, and
then a sudden thought flashed through his mind.
So, stepping out, he whispered the fact to the
porter, and gained permission to take his dog in
for minute or two.
Look here, Prince, said he, "you knowing
dog, my watch is stoien,' and he showed him the
empty pocket and the cut chain. Do you under

You find it, my good dogge, and I'll get you q

Prince wagged his TAIL and gave his master a
very knowing and acute look, and then the two
stole quietly into the place.
Quietly this dumb detective glided around
among the people, smelling away at this ones
coat and this ones chain until at last he set his
teeth firmly into the coat skirt of genteel look
ing man, and could not he shaken off.
:" The young man quietly maze known the case

which their righIful owners werss very glad tc
