fedged American citizens. The term for
the disposition Of the cases on the calendar
will be held some time in September q,
which time several Iii stinguisbed barrist ers
from abroad will air thsir eloquence. II IL
expected that Major Maglone, the learned
States Attorney Of Pierce County, will ON q
certain case make the greatest effort Of h is
life and secure for himself imperishabl. re-
nown, as he depicts in terrible language the
villainy Of the brother-in. law who had
robbed his poor client Of all the property
left her by her dead husband, had eppress-
ed and slandered her and was now seeking
to take from her care her only child, little
girl three years old. The Major rising TO
the majesty ofthe occasion, facing the VIC
tim Of his scorn ard pointing his quivering
finger at him, will exclaim in all the wither-
ing bitterness Of fiery denunciation.
You have stolen from this poor woman oil
her property. not only this; you have rob-
bed her not only Of her last dollar. but Of
what is more precious than gold-her good
name And now, with savage hands, yon
try to tear from her arms her darling child
In the awful hearafter you should not even
be allowed the miserable comfort Of herdlne
with tho common damned, but in some low
or, deeper hell be compelled, singly and
alone, to hQuIkAnt an eternity Of woe.

CHAPTER VIII.
WAR AND PHILOSOPHY.


Ariel having departed on his mission
to Fort Oswego, the little army under
Selwyn began its march, confident that
the enemy would not recover from their
surprise in time to harrass its retreat,
although the commander had no doubt
that they would follow as soon as they
could collect their dcmoralized allies.
Cautiously feeling their way, with the
Mohawks in the rear to guard against
surprise, they reached the Blacllwater
riSer at the close of the second days
march, at the point where Marden ran
the Indian blockade; but there was no
trace of the cncmy. They had probably
joined their allies and formed 4 part of
the force recently repulscd. Selwyn
decided to place the river between
him and the foe. and at once ordered
the construction of RATS to convey
them across, a task easily accomplished
by the rangers, who cut the trees in uni
form lengths with thcir axes and bound
them together with wild grapc-vincs.
When night closed the entire force was
encamped on tho opposite shore.
"Thcy may como now if they choose"
said Renwick, lighting his pipe at the
fire where supper was being prepared,
although l don't think they will get
here before tomorrow evening"
eve left broad trail to follow on"
replied Selwyn, ''and we must be pre-
pared. The logs which formed the RATS
must be hauled up en- the bank for
brcastworlls and more added to them. 1t
must be done at dayoreak."
Renwic1 was tired and hungry, and
the smell of ypniSOn broilinr on the
Goals stole over his senses with seraph-
ic promise of enjoyment.
''Wait till l get my supper, Charley,
and will arise like a giant refreshed.
How delightful it is to rcpose in securi-
ty under that star-sprinkled vault of
blue and watch the preparations for

owl After an interval of minute
the cry was echoed at distance
on the opposite side of the stream. If
any one had been watching the red
chief they would scarcely have been
aware that he had changed his position,
so deep was the obscurity; but he was
not there. Again the dismal sound
tolled forth like funeral bell, and had
its echo as before; again and again and
then it ceased. The sentinels were
changed; Selwyn, sleepless and v1gilant,
inspected the posts. All was we'll. The
red chief rested in the same place; but
his eyes shone like panther's in the
darkness, and there was fresh scalp at
his belt.
The hour before dawn was the time
when the Sentine1S were most vigilant,
for it was the hour when an attack was
most to be expected, but when the sun
arose there was no appearance of the
enemy. Brant secured the timber in
the rear of the camp and found nothing
except the carcass of a Huron minus his
scalp and with a knife-cut in his breast.
Selwyn's anxiety was rather increased
by this impressive silence, and he was
impatiently awaiting the return of
scouts, when sentinel observed a canoe
coming up the stream and keeping close
to the opposite shore. Then it suddenly
shot across the stream, and Jabe and
another ranger sprang up the bank and
over the breastwork. He was the bearer
of letter to Selwyn from the COM
mander of Oswego.
The young soldier eagerly broke the
seal. The dispatch was brief After
thanking Selwyn for his patriotism and
energy in coming to his relief, Colonel
Mercer requested him to hold his posi-
ton as long as he deemed it prudent;
but if threatened by a superior force, he
was to fall back on the fort, which he
(Mercer) was resolved to defend to the
last extremity.
Observing that Jabe's face wore an
unusually grave expression, Selwyn
kindly inquired the reason, when the
honest ranger informed him that when
Ariel learned that his master was a
prisoner to the enemy, he seemed for a
~eme to be overwhelmed with grief,
from which, however, he soon recovered.
'But | knew" said Jabe, 'that some
thing was working in his mind, and
wasn't surprised to hear, just before |
| left the fort, that he had disappeared
with his canoe, and | know as we'll as il
he told me that he's gone in search of
| his master-may be to Montreal"

sides, he saved the boys life, and he has
been in his service ever since. You
know that Indian gratitude is properb-
ial''
'.1Ie is brave as a lion, too" continued
Renwick, land as cunning as fox or a
rcdskin, else he would not have under
taken such long journeys through the
woods with nothisg to rely on but his
own sagacity, or instinct, as you NAV
choose to term it"
"Instinct is the lowest form of rea-
SON." was the reply. sit belongs to ami
mails and not to men. 1t is the off
spring of practical experience, some
times aided by heredity. mechanic
does not accomplish his work by in
stinct, but by skill derived from prac-
ticc, and if his father and grandfather
were mechanics he inherits from them
mysterious aid to his ingenuity of
which he is unconscious. and which we
call natural transmission, as we find
names for other things which we can
not explain
There being no response to these re-
marks, Sclwyn became aware that his
friend was fast asleep. Silence reigned
in the camp; the fires were smoldcring
in their ashes, like human passions;
dim shadows revealed the sentinels at
their posts, watchful as the stars and as
silent. Wrapped in a blanket, his back
resting against a tree, Brant, the Mo
hawk chief, sat notionlesS, bat not
asleep. From the dense forest in the
rear of the camp came tho boot of an

1t is interesting to learn from so &C
complished an expert i'll equine pecul-
iarities as London omnibus driver of
many years standing that a ''wobbler'
is horse which puts all its feet down
at once while engaged in drawing a
vehicle at the maximum rate of six
miles an hour. How, while observing
this attitude, the animal contriyes to
advance single step may be compre-
hensible to persons possessing an ex-
ceptionally intimate acquaintance with
the habits and capacities of horse.
For our own part we frankly confess
that the method of progression thus in
Dictated is new to us and that wob-
bling steed is freak of nature which
we have not yet been fortunate enough
to contemplate in the flesh. Vet the
driver in question ought to know, for he
has guided this particular simultaneous
..wobbler" throughout an entire decade
and can scarcely be mistaken in respect
to its special gifts of pace and action.
Alderman Cowan fined him five shil-
ings and costs for driving to the COM

observation, like virtue, is alas, too
frequently it's own reward.-Lonion

De Barzac had no difficulty in OBJ
tanning q parole for his friend, all the
officers who had served under Dieskan
having interested themselves in his be-
half, and he found himself surrounded
by friends of both sexes, anxious to
show kindness to one who had cheered
their sick and wounded in the hospital
and gained the love and confidence of
that brave General, now no more. Espe-
cially was he welcome at the house of
Nine. Chcvrcul, whose generous nature
was touched by the manly bearing and
cheerfulness of the captive. She kept
open house and her rooms were crowded
every night by her gay countrymen as
eager for pleasure as for fame, like the
troubadour of old Who went forth to
battle sword in hand, with his wild
harp slung behind him"
Lcmouricr, exasperated by General
Montcalm's rebuke, and Nine. Chew
reul's naughty demeanor, was still more
cnraged by the GOODNESS with which the
army officers regarded him. He had
outraged their sense of honor by an act
which even tho plea of drunkenness
could not excuse. He ground his teeth
in impotent wrath. He could not even
challenge one of the offenders without
the certainty of a court martial. and
while he writhed under the silent scorn
of his fellows he perceived that his
rival had gained by his gallantry exact
" in proportion to what be had COST, and
all that was base and ungcnerous in his
nature goadcd him on to vengeance.
Mile Destain, in whose mind Lemou-
rier's act had caused strong revolution
of feeling, at length decided on step
which cost her pride severe trial, but
which she felt was due to tho honor OF
her family not less than to her own.
She wrote letter to her fance. declar-
ing her resolution to cancel the mar
rage contract unless he should agree to
certain conditions, the first OF which
was that he offer an ample apology to
NJ. De Barzac for his ineXcusable attack
on him; and, secondly, that he endeavor
to regain by honorable conduct and
sober life the respect which he had for
feited by his violence.
