the church, and pitched their tents in a

cutup fires shone far into the dark night,
and our travelers were compelled to take
an unfrequented and circuitous road,
en order to avoid the foraging squads of
cavalry that infested the turnpike, and
vicinity, and it was late when the car
riages sep %rated attire cross roads
It was only a mile, and a half to the

The girls liateued with beating hearts,

sound of the tramp of horses on the

fallen asleep, and they would not sconce
