midst of the terrified party. Terrified! Aye a
brief terror to the unfortunate Captain and treach-
erous negro; for the former plunged forward into
the briny waters, with wall Of mortal agony, and
the latter fell dead in the boat,
Surrender surrenderl'' cried out Walton,
clinging madly to the riddled and sinking boat.
Confederate picket boat, number three, eh '
said triumphant voice, from boat advancing
from the line. Lets see what sort of craft is our
namesake!' And the real Number Three, threw
her graphing iron aboard of Walton's sinking
wreck, and drew her into closer quarters.
"Who are you any how?" asked six-footer at
the bow, as Walton hastily and unceremoniously
clambered aboard. "Where are the rest of you?'
'There we're only three of US" replied Walton.
"One fell overheard, mortally wounded, l have
reason to believe. He was Yankee officer. There
lies another, in the bottom of our boat. He is a
negro"
"Aha!-and you are the third, eh Negro or
Yankee ?-which2"
"a Confederate soldier !" said Walton.
"And deserterl" added his unknown interroga-
tor. "a nice party!-'pon my word Well we
will take good look at you when we reach old
Sumter"
Walton was speechless. The magnitude Of the
charge its extreme plausibity the absence of all
proof of innocence, together, with the fearful con-
sequences, all flashed upon his mind in an in
stant and overwhelmed him with alarm and ter
ror As boat after boat came up, and their crews
became aware of the circumstances of the case,
poor Walton heard nothing but jeers, curses and
mocking laughter from all sides.
The line of pickets was again posted one of the
boats returning to Fort Sumter, with Walton as a
prisoner, and his wrecked boat as prize.

OAKS PLANTED By SoURRMs.-Itis curious
circumstance, and not generally known, that many
of the oaks which are called spontaneous repant-
ed by the squirrels. The little animal haspeHorm-
ed the most essential service to the British Navy.
A gentleman walking one day in wood belonging
to the Duke of Beaufort, near Treyhouse, in the
county Of Monmouth, had his attention diverted
by sqirrel, which sat very composedly on the
ground. He stopped to observe his motions; in
few moments the squirrel darted like lightning to
the top of the tree beneath which he had been st-
ting. In an instant, he was down with an acorn
in his mouth, and began to burrow in the earth
with his paws. t..s
After digging small hole, he stopped down and
deposited the acorn; then covering it, he darted
|up the tree again. moment, he was down
with another, which he buried in the same man
ner This he continued to do as long as he thought
proper to watch him.
The industry of this little animals is directed to
the purpose of securing himself against want in
winter, and, as it is probable that his memory is
not sufficiently retentive to enable him to remem-
ber the spots, in which he deposited every acorn,
the industrious little fellow, no doubt, loses few
every year. A few spring up and are destined to
supply the place of the parent tree. Thus, IS
Great Britain, in some measure, indebted for her
mercantile greatness to the industry and bad mem
ory of squirrels s.-Me7y's Museum. -

CHAPTER II.
.tIilianl''

'IIlan!
The voice was familiar to her; so, starting hur,
riedy to her feet from the old sofa, upon which
she had thrown herself after her fathers hasty de-
parture, Lillian drew aside the curtains and looked
eagerly out into the garden.
II am in trouble, dear Lilian," said Edward
Walton-for such it was--"and come to you tol
advice"
"Why Edward" exclaimed Lillian, in tone o.
anxiety "You here? How can you be so rash
I thought you had returned to camp long ago
For heavens sake, what is the matter?'.

CAPTAIN Lamotte had become acquainted with
Lillian at an evening party, given at the residence
of her father, during the visit of Jefferson Davis to
Charleston. Since then, he had contrived, in some
way or other, to visit the family very often, and
eventually became desperately in love with Lillian
She, however, gave no encouragement to his pas
sionate overtures of love- but in every conceivable
manner gave him to understand that his impor-
tunity was anything but agreeable to her. The
CAPTAIN was by no means discomftted by this un-
expected repulse but, with characteristic meaness
set to work to put aside the chief ob'
stacle in his path In doing this, he did not hesi
tate to resort to very dishonorable means; tor ne
was man of no principle whatever; and, aside
from his prepossessing exterior and almost tabu'
ous wealth. was calculated to attract but little con-
sideration.
He was not long in making the discovery thai
Llan's affections were engaged in another quarter
and, no sooner did circumstances point out the OBJ
iect upon which her love was bestowed, than thai
object became the target upon which he proceeded
to try his skill. The conversation between Llllar
and her father has revealed to the reader the cap
tain's exceeding novel and pitiablc method OF re
venging himself upon successful rival.
No method however, could have been half 81
successful in intensifying and maturing Lllian''
love for Sergeant Walton, than that made use O.
by Lamotte, to destroy it. Her real lover became
a thousand fold more an object of an interest, BY
these very prosecutions; while he, who aspired tt
win her by these subtle and contemplate meas
ures, became more and more despised and scorned
In this extremity, Lamotte, knowing MaJol
Lees influence over Lillian, revealed his affection
his disappointment and whole course Of love, tt
her father. He succeeded beyond his highest ex
pectations, in cnlisting the sympathies of the Ma
ior, who, by the way, fethimself complimented b.
the Captains preference, and conceived the mattel
or consummation most devoutlyt to bedeslred. Th'
Major was poor the Captain exceedingly wealthy
With most men, that is an irresistible argument
and Major Lee was very much like most men.
The very next day the Major made it point t.
have private interview with his daughter, and Il
bring into action all the reserved forces OF hisintu
ence, and authority, if necessary, in the Captain
behalf. But, Lillian, expecting something OF tn
kind, so managed the conversation, as to render
proposition of marriage to Captain Lalnotte, iron
her father utterly out of the question, under tn
circumstances.
As has been seen, nosuch proposition wasmade
for her father saw very clearly, that, to hope TO
the least encouragement, Captain Lamotte mus
make it appear that the grave charges were false E
and prompted only by malice and ill-will. Ii thi
could be donc-and he did not entertain doubt o.
the subject-the reaction in Lilian's mind Nigh
be safely calculated upon, and that reaction woul
certainly be favorable to the Captain.

Lie just where you are, and promise me to be
calm. You have been very Ill, dearest"
'Tdings of joy for me, papa?" and the poor
girl smiled incredulously.
edward Walton has been reprieved, and =.
There now II feared as much. !" And the Ma
jor rushed forward and caught bis daughter in his
arms.
"Twas but momentary weakness, papa, said
Lillian. ''I am better now-it was 50 sudden, you
know" .r= ..- .,l
'sI am an inconsiderate old fool to excite you
thus, dear Lillian l' said the Major, adjusting the
pillows on the lounge. "So-ie down again, my
poor, wronged Lillian We will talk over the
matter, when you feel better. ,.tis.a.aI
"Nay, papa! Tell me all about it now. Sus-
pense, under these circumstances, would be unen-
durable"
IT have nothing more to tell you, my DEAR"
said the Major. Everything was conducted in
the customary form Of military execution. fUUft
Walton was marched up and down theopen square
of soldiers as usual, the band played dirge and
the prisoner turned, when reaching the open end
of the square, and boldly faced the firing party. I
heard the order: Ready and turned away my
face; then tAiml' Twas about to vacate the place,
when another order from the commander Of the
squad arrested my attention. That order was
Recover armsp Immediately after, Walton was
taken charge of by the squad, and marched out of
the square," t2H> ~ a2f
And thus, dear reader, ended the whole affair.
Edward Walton rejoined his regiment in Virgin
ia, fewweeks latter, and nothing more was heard
of his execution at that time. Circumstances
have transpired since the war, however, whichlead
to the inevitable conclusion that General Beaure-
gard and President Dayis-both of whom were in
the city at the period alluded to-were sufficiently
impressed with the innocence of Walton to justify
them in saving him from the execution Of the SEN
tence Of the Court Martial There were grave
doubts on the subject, however, and it was thought
best to subject him to this terrible mock execution,
the firing party alone being let into the secret Il.
Walton distinguished himself in Virginia, by the
most brilliant gallantry and heroism. He return
ed to the city soon after the war; with star upon
his coat collar, and many IN honorable scar upon
his person. He is now living in Canada, and
Lillian is with him; in what capacity, the reader
may readily guess. 80.

READ AN HOUR DAY.-An English paper
tells of lad who at fourteen was apprenticed to
soap boiler. One of his resolutions was to read
an hour day, or at least at that rate and he had
an old silver watch, loft him by his uncle, which
he timed his reading by. He stayed seven years
with his master, and said when he was twenty-one
he knew as much as the young squire did Now,
let us see how much time he had to read in, in sew
en- years, at the rate of an hour each day: 1t would
be SIS hours, which, at the rate Of eight reading
hours, per day, would be equal to three hundred
and ten days, equal to forty-fve weeks, equal to
twelve months nearly a years reading That
time spent in treasuring up useful / knowledge

Captain to accompany him to Sulivan's Island.
While there, the Major would converse with Wal
ton on the subject, and the Captain could stand
outside the tent and listen to the conversation In
this way he could hear whether or not, Walton re-
peated the charges
'sBut how are we to get to Sullivan's Island
now2" asked the Captain. 1.-THE last steamer left
several hours ago."
'Ripley's boat leaves as soon as the moon is
down, which will not be more than half hour
from now" ....u.,a.
'tBut she goes to Fort Sumter, and has no sig
nails for the island" said Lamotte.
'We can readily ascertain the nature Of those
signals, when we reach the fort, replied the Ma
jor. "Once there, Elliott will see to it, that we
reach our point of destination.
Had Captain Lamotte been manly enough to
speak the truth, he would have confessed that the
aspect of affairs alarmed him amazingly. He did
not relish the idea of thus agtatng what had, for
tunately for him, fallen into o dead calm. He
knew very well, that Walton would not only repeat
the charges in his hearing, but substantiate them
to his face. WhatthenP He could be court-mar-
tialed for ''disrespectul language to superior Of
fcer," it is true; but that would be rather dan
gerous resort for Walton could prove his charges
correct and then comes another court-martial, the
nature of which would be anything but pleasant to
the redoubtablc Captain.
However, Lamotte consoled himself with the re-
Election, that he had money and, certainly, no
man knew better than the Captain, what money
could do for william.

tiful waters of Charleston harbor, and among its

AN ELEPHANT STORY.

A gentleman, who had been for many year,
resident in India, had very fine elephant ofnoble
size, which we will call Indra. It was under the
charge of two keepers named Seim and Saadi,
who alternately took care oft. ......
During the month that it was under the charge
Of Selim, the younger keeper, Indra had plenty Of
food and was kindly treated
On the other hand, Saadi, the other keeper, was
drinking man, and spent the money allowed for
Indra's food in arack and bang spirit extracted,
I believe, from hemp.
The elephant was of course neglected during the
month that he was under the charge of Saadi
One day, both the keepers happened to be upon
his back when he was taken to the river; before
he left the water he suddenly turned up his trunk,
and passing Selim, who was seated nearest to his
ears, he seized Saadi round the waist, and plum
ging the wretched man into the river, ED him
under the water till he was drowned. Seim
trembled, for he thought he also should be vic
tim to the animals anger, but Indra knew who
had been kind to him, and quietly suffered himself
to be led home, apparently satisfied with the ven
geance he had taken. .
This account shows how sensible to kindness is
the poor, halfreasoning elephant.
