destruction. The consequence was, the
storminR party was obliged to retreat.
Perceiving that nothing could BE- ef'
fected without more elaboration. order,
and concert of action, they proceeded to
superintend and protect the passage OF
the women and the children from the
cabins to the block house in the other
angle of the works. This important
measure was effected without loss, al
though they were frequently fred upon.
While these movements were taking
place within the station, there was much
shouting and tumult without. Several
attempts were made to mount the top OF
the block house, which met with a
prompt repulse from the settlers, whose
position commanded the entire front OF
the fort. As has been observed, the
block houses, projecting twenty inches
beyond the cabins. prevented effectually

continued Boone. sternly.
'He spoke about dat ar subject"
did he offer you money, or hold out
any inducement for you to assist him to
escape?" added the forester, still more
sternly.
Eyes, massa,' said Andrew, quaifing
before the penetrating glances of Boone.
Unfortunately for him, in his perturba-
ton he thrust his hands into his pockets
so desperately that the jingle OF silver
coin was distinctly heard.
What have you got in your joekets 2"
asked Boone.
Muffin but nails, massa-not single
ting" returned the negro, his manner
plainly giving the lie to his words.
Search his pockets" said the captain,
turning to Logston, who stood near.
Joel, ever ready to do the bidding Of
his superior, laid his hands upon the

serving, concluded that it was the signal
for some extra ordinary demonstration on
his part, and instantly displayed all his
sharp teeth, and approached him with
intentions most sinister and alarming.
Andrew, overcome by the sense of so
many dangers, fell upon his knees, and
declared he would confess all about the
matter, which he did, with but a few
trifling prevarications; protesting most
strenuously that he had no intention
whatever of assisting the Frenchman to
escape.
Ebony was next questioned; but en-
boldened by the presence of Mr.. Aston,
fearlessly asserted that he was wholly
ignorant of the transaction, and that
the first intimation which he had receiv-
ed that anything was going wrong was
the report of Captain Boone's rifle when
he shot at the Indians.
Although perfectly assured in his own
mind that Ebony knew more than he
chose to divulge, the forester ceased to
press his questions farther, for the inn
minence of the danger required prompt
action.

COUNSEL for railway line In one of
the Southern States.
1t appears that at one point on its
line the company had stationed an old
negro Waterman, whose duties consist
ed in warning travellers down a high
way crossing the tracks when a train
approached. One night a wagon be-
longing to farmer was struck, result
ing in bad accident. The company
was of course sued for damages, and
at the trial the old darky was the
principal witness for his employers.
He replied to the questions put to him
in a clear, direct fashion. Among
these questions was one as to whether
he was sure that he had swung his
lantern across the road when he per
ceiyed the train approach. The negro
replied:
Il sho'ly did, sah!"
The trial resulted in a verdict for
the company, and Mr.. Williams, az

testimony. To which the latter re-

Love Me Little, Love Me Long.
Love me little, love me long!
Is the burden Of my song;
Love that is too hot and strong
Burneth soon to waste.
Still would not have thee cold,
Not too backward nor too bold:
Love that lasteth till tits old
Fadeth not in haste.
Love me little, love me long!
Is the burden of my song.
IT thou lowest me too much
Twill not prove as true touch;
Love me little more than such
For I fear the end.
I'm with little well content,
And little from thee sent
Is enough, with true intent,
To be steadfast, friend.
Say thou lowest me. while thou live
to thee my love will give,
Never dreaming to deceive
While that life endures;
Nay, and after death, In so0th,
I to thee will keep my truth.
As now when in my May of youth;
This my love assures.
Constant love is moderate ever,
And it will through life persevere:
Give me that with true endeavor-
l will 1t restore.
A suit Of durancee let it be,
For all weathers-that for me-
For the land or for the sea;
Lasting evermore.
Winters cold or summers heat,
Autumn's tempests on it beat;
It can never know defeat,
Never can rebel.
Such the love that would gain,
Such the love, l tell thee plain.
Thou must give, or WOO in vain;
So to thee-farewell!

TO 4sET" THE COLOR.
Strong Brine Of Cold Water and Salt
Will Do the Work.

1t is impossible to tell whether a
color is fast before washing, says the
Boston Traveller, but by far the safest
plan is to "set" the color before It
goes to the tub for the first time. One
Of the best methods Of setting deli
cate colors consists in simply making
a strong brine OF cold water and salt
and soaking the garment from ~ to
"a hours. OF course this should be
done just before going to the laundry,
and the salt should not be allowed
to dry in it. This is especially good
for all shades of pink and green, and
colors once set this way will be
bright as long as it would be possible
to expect It. A strong solution OF
alum and water is good, particularly
with blues and the more delicate
shades of brown, but its effect is mot
so lasting as that of salt, and II Is
sometimes necessary to renew the
bath after the first three or four
washings.
