BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood OF man has much 10 do in shaninr
his actions during his pilgrimage through this
troublesome world, regardless of the amount of
present or expectant money in pocket or stored
away in bank. II is conceded fact that we appear
as our blood makes US, and the purer the blood,
the happier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are;
hence, the oft repeated interrogaory "how is your
bloods" With pure streams of life-giving fluid
coursing through our veins, bounding through our
hearts and ploughing through our physical frames,

stronger, our intellectual faculties more acute and

THE WEATHER.

A letter from Greenville, s. c., reports
the weather there SO cool that blankets are
comfortable at night. Mr.. Newt. Walton
writes also in glowing terms of the pleas
ant and salubrious temperature of Ashe-
vile, N. c., where he is spending the
cheated term with his family. Every
place heard from is cooler than Austin, to
the great discomforture of the feelings OF
the can't-get-away's. Here we have not
only the heat, but for want of rain the
most intolerable dust.
In fact, Austin for some time has been
very much like Dickens describes Mar
settles, "a city burning in the sum-" or
"as fact to be strongly smelled and
tasted, fairly broiling in the sum-" for 10 /!
these many days. But while so dry and
parched and thirsty, just for want of rain
it is still one of the healthiest and most
beautiful cities in the world; and with its
fine, new hotel, the Driskill, as one of its
great attractions, is going to be doomed
by the Missouri Pacific railway company
as one of the most desirable winter re-
sorts for northern tourists.

CHAPTER V.
TORY ROBBERS.

For few moments the silence was un
broken on the densely shaded and marrow
highway. The startled squirrels ceased
their barking notes of surprise and curl
osity. Their keen eyes detected thu
motionless forms and supecting danger
they sped stealthilY away. Grouse
and patritdges knew by instinct that those
who had caused their alarm still lurked in
cover like themselves.
Sounds from the approaching enemy
soon became audible, however; first the
rumble of the wagons and then the tramp
of horses. A platoon of cavalry formed
the vanguard and George let it ride past
unmolested. The wagons next appeared,
with infsntry-men walking on each side of
them, and these were followed by the main
body of infantry, another platoon of cav
airy acting rs rear-guard. The under
growth was so thick in the damp, low spot
through which the foraging party was
passing, that it had been thought almost
impossible to throw out fankers, and the
officer commanding had deemed it the
best policy to hasten on to more open
country before rursuers could overtake
them. The many anxious glances turned
LOWdIuo phO oCloC WOOuo Ou 5iuOy
however; proved that the aspect of the
place was anything but pleasing.
The partisans chafed under Georges de-
lay in firing, and we're fast losing their
self-restraint. Few had received even the
first lessons in discipline; they were a
chance assemblage of wronged and angry
men, who had tacitly accepted young,
untried leader within the last hour; and
had he not given the signal from his rifle
in time, his plans would have been discon-
certed. Being an unusually good marks
man, he fired upon the officer leading the
rear guard of Dragons and the man fell;
as also did several of the wagon drivers
and protecting inflntry. There was
moment of CONSERVATION, and then the
enemy fred a volley into the woods. Bull
lets flew like hail about the partisans, but
the intervening brush prevented accuracy
of aim. The rear-guard troopers cam g
galloping forward, and those in the van
also returned to the point of attack. The
only sound they heard was the receding
rush of steeds as the first squad retired
according to Georges directions. The
other two squads had the courage and
steadiness to remain quiet at their leaders
