Tff*Wfti£!M*>Tl N KXTAI. Tbe eventful year of 1778 was drawing to a close, when Col. Camp . liell f the British armv landed near tfcivsunah, and fell furiously on the Americans under Gen. Howe. Howe's troops were in no condition tfio face the enemy. An unsuccess ful tampaigr. iu Florida had enfee bled his men by disease, and deeming ■"discretion the better part of valor," ht retreated up tlie river. Of course, the then capital of Georgia fell into the hands of the eccrav, who abused his triumph and oonsigned his name to an uneuvia fit) fame. There was a strong tory element In Savannah which had been kept in ebeck by the presence of the conti fientals ; but when the British marched into the city, it rose and asserted its strength. Houses were plundered and a number of patriots bayoneted in tlie streets. Neighbor tote against neighbor, and tories led w plundering soldier to tlie house of the patriots. Tbe Holly family that dwelt in * Kumnrmh at the time of its capture and tack consisted of three persons —the mother and two cliidren. The father, a man of wealth and influ ence in Georgia had died during the yefcr thai preceded the outbreaking >f tue war, and the home of his fam ily was one of the tfueet residences in the vitv. Miriam Holly, the oldest child, WHS a beautiful giil of nineteen, while bor brother was live years her junior. If the father had lived, he might have proven a tory, for he was devotedly attached to the moth er country, and when the king's troops took possession of the capital. CoL Campbell commanded that the Holly's home should not be ransack ed. Thus tire house escaped pillage and Miriam hastened to thank the eoMier for hiskiudness. Cot Campbell was struck by the wkTs grace and remarkable loveli ness, and detained her at his. head quarters until he had learned her family history by many adroit ques tions. "There goes the handsomest wo man iu Georgia *" cried Camp'iel!, as the girl left the house. His companion, who happened to lie his chief of staff, looked after Miriam and remarked : "I quite agree with you, colonel. These American rebels are all beau tiful." Campbell was silent for a moment. "We will not occupy this building aftet to-morrow," he said suddenly. "I am going to take up my abode beneath the same roof that shelters kltrson Ilolly." : "Love at first sight, colonel," said the chief of staff, with a merry twinkle iu his eyes. "Is Lady Bonn so soon forgotten, my dear colonel V" "Lady Bonn be hanged!" ciied Campbell. "A soldier loves wbeu anu whom he pleases, aud besides, major, one is not obliged to marry these Ameiican girls because he loves theua." Tbe conversation was interrupted by the arrival of aa orderly, and was not resumed. On the following day Col. Camp bell made Miriam Ilolly's home bis bead-quartbers. The girl grew deadly pale when she learned of the sudden change, mid said in a whisper to her mother: "This is a terrible event. lie is jttt fit to depart yet, nor will he be for a week to come." "Miriam, I have been thinking it woaki be policy for us to give him bP- "Give him up uww ?" cried the r i "Give him up and here every tory la Savannah is for his blood ? No ! Unless discovered he shall remain where be is until he is able to es cape !" ' Miriam llolly spoke with much firmness, and tears stood in The mother's eyea when she opened her arras and received the daughter in her embrace. "Forgive me, Miriam," she cried. ;4 \Ve must keep our secret from Col. Campbell. He must no!, know who lies deneath onr roof." fco Miriam hastened from her mother's presence, and by touching a concealed spring in the wall of an unfinished room, revealed a narrow vtairwoy. She at once mounted the steps and entered a very small apart ment, into which light streamed " w cot lay a man in Ins twenties. His dark hair contrasted vididly with the deathly (tailor of his face, and the suit of faded continental uniform, with a sword, that hung agHiust the wall over the he*l, told that he was an American soldier. A boy of fifteen who sat. on tne edge of tlie bed was reading aloud, but in a cautious tone, when the door opened to admit Miriam. The invalid's fare lit up with a smile when the fair girl came for ward and took his fevered hand. Then she told him about Col. Campbell's change of quarters, and he listened without a question. "Well f" he said at last, what are we going to do ¥" ■ We are going to remain here till we get strong enough to leave the city," answered Miriam with a smile, and even while alto spoke a faint noise below told her that the British colonel was moving into his new quarters. The continental was a captain in Howe's little ariuy. He had served the colonies with a seal surpassed lv none who rallied round the cause of freedom, but disease had seized upon hiiu in Florida, and he return ed with the troops to Geoigia, to find an asylum in Miriam Holly's home, and to be nursed by her through the long hours of his fever. The attending physician was a man who knew how to keep a secret, and as his sympathies were with the pa triot cause, he gave Miriam many valuable hints that looked to the hidden soldier's health and future Sefet Colonel Campbell, bent on the con quest of the fair girl's heart, tried to m ike himself agreeable to the iu mates of the mansion. Miriam took good care not to show him that his absence would be more desirable thau his company, and the widow treated him with a courtesy that kept hira aloof from suspici< n for several days. It was believed by the tories of Savannah that a number of conti nentals remained secreted iu the ci ty. Indeed, several had been dis i covered since its capture, and at the ! time of the commandant's change of i quarters, an active search for such [ pers>n3 was going on. "Is this house haunted, Mis* Mir iam asked the colonel one morning at the breakfast table. * The girl started at the abrupt question, and wondered if she turn ed tmle. "Haunted ?" she echoed, with an effort. "The ghosts must be rats. Have you been visited by sheeted beings ?•' "No, but after I had retired last i night I heard a noise like the sound of distant voices. It seetned to me directly overhead, and I called my chief of staff. Who sleeps over my apartment, if you will permit so bold a question. V" "My brother," answered Miriam quickly. "I was with him until a late hour last night." "And the night bet ore ?" "Yes." "Then I heard the sound of your voices no boubt," said Campbell glancing at the chief-of-staff, whoso eyes, during the conversation, had I been fastened on the girl's face. Major Guilford had noticed every change of countenance, and when the twain had retired from the breakfast table, he grasped the su\ perior's arm. "What do you say now, colcnel ?" 'lie cried in triumph. "I don't know what to say. I—" "I watched her like a hawk and I tell you that the girl is dissimulat ing. There is a rebel soldier in this house !" Colonel Campbell looked at his major but did not speak. "I never did belieye that she was a tory," :outinued Guilford "She is one of the rankest rebels in Savan nah. Why, colonel, so long as the Continental remains beneath thi roof, vou cannot succeed with tier. He stands detween you and Miriam Holly, go you see the line of policy is clearly before you." The British colonel started. "I did not think of that !" he said "Major we will solve this mys tery of tlie sounds we heard last night." "With me it is solved already," was the chief-of-itafTs reply. From that hour Miriam was watched. Her absence from the lower rooms was noted, and the colonel knew she was not in her boudoir. As the days waned tlie hidden Continental improved, and at last he rose and donned his faded uni form. "To-morrow, if it' be dark and stormy Miriam said to him, while she polished his sword in tho mellow light of the lamp "1 have the doc tor's assistance, and the horse will not tail you. You kuowwhither to ride, and before long this sword which Howe has missed will flash OEce more tefo e the enemy." Miriam Holly fancied that she was about to outwit the kiug's men. The Continental was ready for flight, and there we true friends who had promised to help him beyond the city. It was with delight that the girl hailed the great drops of rain that pattered on the panes of her window, when the d.ukness of the choren night fill over the city like a pall. The thunder rolled about the houses, and now and then flashes of lightning revealed glimpses of tlie carnival of rain. j In the hidden room stood Captain Tempest, the shadow of lus former self | but strong iu the desire for liberty, lie waited for Miriam who came at last and showed him rain drops on lier. "The elements are assisting us," she said, joyfully. "The doctor is waiting like a hero, under the elm, and he has tlw passwoid." •'Good 1 Are they asleep ?" "They retired two hours ago," , said Miriam ; "I am satisfied tire coast is clear." Then the soldier picked up his j sword with a pride tluit caused his ; eyes to flash, and Miriam was smil ing upon him, when a voice made both start ami hold their breath. A step on the sccn\ stair 1 The twain exchanger! startled , glances and the gill turned to the j door, which ojetle.l suddenly, and revealed the face of Col. Carapliell. Over his shoulders flashed the chief of-slaff's triumphant eyes. This unexpected event threw the lovers off their guard, and as tlie British officers leajH'd into the room with swords half drawn, the highest in rank exclaimed : "A rebel nest! 80. so! Surrender at once or I will rob the rebel troops of one sneaking officer 1" His last words were addressed to the Continental captain, whose ans wer was kepi kick by Miriam Hol ly's iction. Shrinking from the Britsh otticeni she reached the bed whereupon a pistol lay, and a moment later she held it tightly gripjed in her hand. "Gentlemen, it may be the king's cause that will lose in this game/' she said, addressing Col. Campbell. "You will sheathe your swords and obey me J" Campbell and his chie-of-staff ex changed glances. At Miriam's command they step ped from behind the door, and she i looked at her lov# r. "You know the wav," she said. [ "These soldiers will not pursue in j such a stonn. I will be responsible j for their safety, for they wouldn't have a bullet in their uniform for the world. Go Marvin, and let every blow that you deliver be a blow for freedom. He said 'good-by," as he stepped to the door ; he bade the discomfitt ed officers good-night in a sarcastic tone that made them wince, and then passed down the staiis. The officers' forced confinement was irksome to them, the min utes passed s*ow!y away. Brand by Miriam Holly laid the pistol on the bed, and told the story of her lover's sickness. Campliell and his chief of-staff listened with delight to her voice, forgetting that they were prisoners no longer. When they at last went down the narrow stairs, Miriam's eyes follow ed them, and her good night, so full of triumph, made Campbell grate his teeth. ''She's heeten me !" he said to Ills brother-officer. "I've lost the Drizo. We'll go hack to the old quarters to morrow." Ila was as good as his word, and few persons ever knsw why the colonel go hastily quit the Holly mansion, aud returned to bis first quarters. Capt. Tempest escaped and re turned to Savannah at the head of a regiment, when the British flag wan lowered to a delivered nation. Then he claimed a bride, and everybody was made acquainted with tiie story of the Hidden Conti nental. ' JOHN AKE, of Cole Creek, Texan, WHS in the woods horse-hunting, and had forgotten his gun, hut his bo wie aud his dogs were along, and h felt at home. Tne dogs treed a large panther in a cedar tree. Ake tried to bring his game down with stones, but the panther refused to come down. So the old man placed his knife in his mouth and climbed the tree. The panther showed his teeth. The old man could not get near enough with safety to use tin knife, hut as the beast sat perched its tail "hung dangling down." Ake seized it aud the pair fell to the ground, the old man foiling on top. The dogs lit in, and tho hunter ended the dispute with his knife.
