"He's grit" said Seth, sentenious-
ly, "and Eve promised the dame to
keep an eye on him."
IN o talking in the ranks!n tbun-
dered Corporal Hibbard.
The red coats of the British werp
already cleaning through the frs
and cedars as the little squad fled
behind the battery and lay down
with their guns in position.
"Walt till l give the word" said
the Corporal, in hoarse whisper
''then fre!"
divers breath came fast and his
eyes sparkled with a strange light,
as the red coats came steadily on.
On they came, first slowly, then,
lowering their guns, with cleaning
bayonets fixed they broke into a run,
and charged directly upon the bat
terry.
"Fire!" Shouted Corporal Hib-
bard, as he saw the whites of the
eyes of the British regulars.
At the word, rattling crash tore
out from behind the battery,
the enemy's line wavered and
broke here and there, then
came word of command, and the
red coats dashed up the slope,
swarmed over the battery, and, in
the midst of firing, smoke, and cheers,
struggled to gain the position.
1t was brief fight. A few of
the patriots managed to escape into
the fir tbickets to the right and left
of the battery, and so fed back to
the fort with the i'll news.
The British troops reformed their
line and marched on up the hill.
How gallantly the patriots defend
ed this last line behind the town,
how we'll they fought, | cannot stay
to tell. 1t was all in vain. When
night fell the red cross of st. George
was flying on the flagstaff on the
green, and the British Colonel was
quartered in Dame Perkins house.
That night Captain Perkins came
back and heard the doleful story.
at was asfoolish thing to do" was
all he said. But whether he refer
red to divers going to the defense,
OF to Captain Blodgett's attempt to
hold the battery, nobody dared to
ask. For it was plain that his grief
was great.

well, one fine May morning in l777,
as he burst into the keeping room of
Capt. Joe Perkins house. Dame
Perkins dropped her needle work,

honest and already flushed face,
pulled off his sealskin capPand made

The Great Cave-ThIrty or Forty sIII-
lions OF Bats.

Our obejective point was the
great bat cave some ten miles north
east of the little town of Semla, a
place seldom visited by northern
tourists. When within less than a
mile of the cave, which is situated
on the crest of a high buff, that
may be called an irregular table
land, General Ord attracted my at
tention to an immense dark shadow
IN the horizon, extending from the
ground line high up into the heaV-
ems. II had all the appearance of
strong volume OF smoke issuing
from the funnel of some gigantic
ocean steamer. at looks like smoke"
said the General, "but it is simply a
cloud of bats issuing from the cave"
On approaching nearer l could dis
tinctly make out che flying vermin,
which were, truly, thicker than the
densest swarm of bees I have ever
seen, and there appeared to be no
end to them. We soon reached the
cave, which dips into a brambly
gorge, and from the capacious mouth
shaped like the half choked arch of
a bridge, we could see the bats fly
ing out in tens of thousands, the
column growing deeper every sec
ond. The cave is as gloomy as the
realms of Pluto, having a gentle de-
cline for some hundreds of feet, the
roof being quite lofty and the floor
covered to an inealculable depth
with guano deposit, which enhales
an efiuvium calculated to knock
down the strongest kind of horse.
The guano will be more efficient as
barrier against lurking despera-
does than all the police in Texas.
Bats, as you know, do not perch
singly, but hang to the wall and to
each other Just as bees do when in
Swarm" The temperature of the
cave is sufficiently low to prevent
them from becoming heated, and
how they manage to support the
enormous weight of their own mass
es is a question which only practical
naturalists can solYe. They man
age to do it, though, without the
slightest apparent discomfort. And
there cannot, at a moderate compu-
tation, be less than thirty millions
of bats in those enormous caves.

srNor PREPARED.' the 'Draw-
er," in the November Harper, has
this from the very down Eastern
most section of our precious coun-
try:
1t is customary with the students
in our college to say "Not pre-
pared." when called upon to recite
q difficult and not well-memorized
passage. On a hot summer after
noon, in the year -, the class
was sleepily stumbling through the
introduction to Buffers ARGtOgy.
The reverend doctor was quite as
familiar with the subject matter as
with the numbers of chapters ana
sections, and had way of his own
in calling for a recitation, which
sounded quite as much like a call
~ iudOment as a call to reclte,
The lesson was going badly, and
the doctor, nesting in his char,
called out, "AIr. r, you may
nass on to the Future Life,
Mr.. Twas too much of wsg
to let the opportunity slip, and
promptly responded, 'Not pre-
pared"
The reader can easily imagine the
effect on the risibles of the class.
