A boy drove Into the city, hH wagon loaded down With food to feed the poo plo of tbo nrltlsh-governf d town And the little black-eyed rebel, so cunning and so sly, Was watching for his coming from tbo corner of her cjo. Ills faeo looked broad and honest, his bands were brown and tough, Tho clothes be wore upon him wcro homcsrun, coarso and rough ; But one there was who watched him, wh long time lingered nigh, And cast at him sweet glances from tho corner of hereje. He drove up to tho market, he waited In the llno Ills apples nd potatoes were fresh and fair and fine; nut long and long ho waited, and no onu came to buy, Save the black-eyed rebel, watching from tho cor ner of her eje. "Now who w 111 buy my apples?" ho shouted, long and loud : And "Who wants my potatoes t" ho repeated to tho crowd i Put from all the people round him came no word ot a reply, Savo tlio black-eyed rebel, answering from the cor ner of hur eie. For sho knew that 'neath tho lining of tho coat ho wore that day Were long letters from the husband j and tho fathers far away, Who w ere fighting for tho freedom that they meant to gain or die; And a tear ilka silver glistened In the corner of her eje. nut the treasures-how to get them: crept tho cpiestlon through her mind, Since keen enemies were watching for what rrlzes they might nnd: And she paused u while and pondered, with a pretty little sigh ; Then lesolio crept through her features, nnd a shrewdness 11 reel her eie. So sho resolutely walked up to tho wagon old and red.' "Hay I have a dozen apples for u Uss 5" sho sweetly said ; And the brown face flushed to scarlet, for the boy was somewhat shy, And ho saw her laughing at him from tho corner ct her eie. "You may have them all, for nothing, nud more, It you want," quoth ho. "I will l.aie them, my good fellow, but can pay for the m." said she ; And she clainbe red en tho wagon, minding not who all were by. With a laugh cf reckless rcmplng In tho corner of hereje. Clinging round Ids brawny neck, sho clasped her lingers w hue and small, And then whispered "(iulckt tho letters! thrust them underneath my shawl 1 Carry bade again A(j package, and bo suro that ou are spry 1" And she sweetly tmllcd upon Lira from the corner ot her eye. Loud tlio motley crowd were laughing at the strange, ungirllsli freak, And the boy was scared and panting, and so dashed ho could not speak : And, ".Miss, have good apples," a bolder lad did cry; Hut sho answered, "No, I thank you," from the cor ner of her cj e. With tho news of loved ones absent to the dear friends thoy would greet, Searching them who hungered for them, swift sho gilded through the street. ''There Is nothing worth tho doing that It docs not pay to try," Thought tho llttlu black-eyed rebel, with n twinkle in her eje.

TALE OF THE FltO.NTIEl!. Tliero liuel been a murder at Red Fox Run, one of lhe tributaries of tbo Smoky Hill River, in Western Kansas. A murder was not a novel thing in those days, for of the eighteen men bleeping in tho unfenced graveyaitl on lop of the mi- duluting tight bank of Reel Fox Run, not one of them had died n natural death. Eleven hnd been killed in the minnicr of 'G7, by tho combined band of Saiitanter and Roman Xose, when all the tribes on tho plains united against tho whites four had been killed iu her bar-room rows, erne in u duel, and two by Wild Horse Smith, one of the most noliel desperadoes that had ever coino to Red Fox. Rut Willi llorso Smith was tried by a jury, tach time, at but a few heJtrrs after tho crimes, and it was proved to the satistuction of his peers, that tho dead men pulled first, but tMnith.with his usual luck and dexterity, got iu .tho firi-t shot, In view of theso facts, no jury of that kind, and in Unit day, could do otherwise! than to bring iu a verdict of justlfiablu homicide, so Wild Hoiso Smith was ae ijuitleil, and became lhe model of tho many bad men, and tho terror of tho few good ones. Ho was ft tall, bony njan of thirty-live, with giuy eyes, long, dark hair, and long, leuthery cheeks, as devoid of beard as tbo plains about Red Fox Run were of trees. Eonr or live families had moved into this part of theSlute, to a farm in tho rich bot tom. Among them was "Ztichary" Jlow inau, who had n family consisting of Ids wifo and children, tho oldest, Sarah, a hnndtouie, healthy-looking girl of twen ty. As there wcro very few young ladies in Red Fox compared to tho number of men, and as there was not ono who at all e.ei it ullcel Sarah Ruwman in personal churnn, sho at onco becamo tho belle of the tettlcmcntuid, was besieged by u dozen marriageable men, among whom Wild llorso Smith stood llrst iu his own opiuloiL J Tliero was another young man, named Hcnzy, who wbh very devoted, and still another, Frank Colton, it sturdy, steady young fellow of some five or six and twenty. So prudent was Sarah Ilnwman, that nt one of her admirers felt himself to bu the favond one. Hut it must not bo imagined from tills that sho had not a preference. Tliero was ono whoso foot-lull was very wel come, whose picpeneo shortened the hours, nnd whoo volco was music, and this was Frank Colton. IIo did not know his good fortune, for he never, being a bnshlul fellow, told bis love. The people often discussed the chances of the rivals, und the shrewd ones "reckoned it lay between Wild Horse Smith, Hcnzy, and Frank Colton," willi the chances of winning in favor of tho first, as It wasn't thought to he safe to run against Smith for ntiytliin;?, and more than one was afraid the rivalry would enii in trouble. hethcr Sarah ISowniau was the cnu'e or not, there was a man murdered at Red Fox Run, The body was found about two miles from the settlement, up tho stream, and when it was brought in, lying across a hor-c, everybody that saw the body, ami that was everybody lu thu settlement, re cognized it at once as thu remains of young Henzv. lie had not been killed by tho Indians the most unpractical eyo could see th.it at a glance, lor apart Irom tho bullet hole iu his head nud two in his breast, the body had not been mutilated. The long hair and the clothing was as intact as when, on the day hclore, he had been seen to tide awav witli Frank Colton. The news of tho murder and tho fact that S.irah Rowman was dangerously tick with a fever, that rendered her unconscious, came to the people together; and, of course, the girl's illness was attributed to the shuck llenzy's death gave her, and from this the pen plo reasoned that the murdered man was the favorite. Ilcfore Hcnzy was buried on the hill above Red Fox Run, making the number nineteen, twelve of the enlightened 'cttlers be id an inquest, and Wild llorso Smith n mud foreman. To be sure it was hardly a legal body, as there was not a coroner within one hundred miles j but tho settlers were de termined to go through the legal forms, as they had when they tried their foreman, nnd so they examined all the wounds, made all the inquiry they could as to who had been withllenzy, and although no information was given them that they were not aware of the twelve men with all legal solemnity, locked themselves up in the faro room of the Coyote Saloon, and with some spiritual re freshments on the table, sat down to solve the ni) story of Henzy's murder. Frank Colton hnd a great many friends iu the settlement, for he was honest, tem perate, nnd industrious ; but as the foreman of that jury put the ca-e, the warme-t friend of the young man was forced to think "things looked bad agin Frank, and his sliiyin' away is a powerful strong p'int." The people were not therefore surprised when the jury asserted, as their verdict first, that Hcnzy was murdered with some fire arm, and second, that all the evidence pointed to Frank Colton as the man who fired the shots. One, two weeks passed, and still Franlj Colton, as if dreading to come near the -eene of his crime, remained away, though his crops needed his attention. All they wanted now to perfect the trial was the culprit, whom they were prepared to hang the moment ho put in an appear a nee. Tliero was a considerable flutter in Red Fox Run, when, on the fifteenth morning, smoke was seen rushing from Frank Col ton's house, and an examination of the premises developed tho fact that the owner of the house wasnt home. A few hours from this time the twelve jurors, with Wild Horso Smith at their head, nnd rifles on their shoulders, walked down in military order, surrounded tho house, and called em Frank Colton to come out. There was not a little surprise on their pint when Frank walked boldly out wilh his left arm iu a sling, and looked nt his neighbors villi such astonishment in his faro, that if it wero not genuine, showed that he was an actor of no ordinary type. As foreman of that jury, it becamo Wild llorso Smith's duty (lie did it with a won derful amount of cheerfulness, however,) to inform Frank bo was a prisoner, anil why. Tho twiWe men saw Frank Ceilton's faco turn ashy palc.and he staggered to the houso for support, as bopa"ped : "Hcnzy murdered?" "lie's number nineteen, up (bar on tho hill," replied Smith, nodding iu that di rection. "We'll give ye a fair trial, Frank, but you motit nsvull know that everything's agin ye, an' everybody on Red Fox Run has made up their mind that you killed Henry," s.iid onu of the men who was a great stickler fur law and order. Frank Colton denied it then, but it was too late. Ho was made a prisoner and marched down to the Coyote Saloon, where u court was nt onco e-tnblislud, and Wild Horse Smith, having shewn unexpected le gal acumen as foreman of the coroner's jury, was silected as judge. Everybody was tliero but Sarah llowman. ho was in bed, worn down wilh her fever and barely over her delirium. The trial went on with a rapidity that would slartle an Eastern Court of justice, and it was shown that Frank Colton was the last person seen witli tho murdered man ; that be was himself wounded, as by the re sistance ofl'eied by tho wounded man ; that he fled and remained nway two weeks ; und finally, that tliero was a motive for the act, as they were both utitors for tho s.imo girl's hand, and for sumo time an ill feeling was supposed to exist between them, Thu jury camo to thu conclusion without leaving thu chairs, which had been brought from tho Coyote Saloon for their accommo dation. They found Frank Colton guilty of tho murder wilh which ho was charged, Then Wild llorso Smith, who had reason to know something of tho judicial form of proceeding in tuch cases, asked Frank if ho could offer any icason why sentence of death should not be passed. In reply, Frank acknowlulged that when ho left tho settlement Hcnzy was lu Ids company, and that they had ever been friends. Ho parted with Hcnzy up tho run, and continued himself toward Fort Harker, whero he expected money from his friends in tho Fust. That when ho ivus about Im miles from tho pctllemciit, ho was hlmcif shot by some person or persons socrolcd near hi route. That his arm was broken, and ho would have come back at once, but fell In w ith an armv train returning from Fond Creek, and tho surgeon gave hlin all Atten tion, and took him ou to Hurkcr, where he had been for ten days under attend ance This was all said in a plain fearless way that accounted for everything, and should have carried conviction with it ; but thu judge had mtxlc up Ids mind, nnd with well alfected solemnity, passed the sentence ol death, and then pointed to a tree back of the Coyote Saloon as a very suitable place for the execution. There was no want of ropes, and Frank Colton was ut once seized, and the jury, with wonderful zeal, were about to pick him up nnd carry hlin to the tree, when they wcro startled by a piercing cry, and the next instant, Sarah liowiiian,, pule us u spectre, with her hair disheveled, and her brown eyes twice their usual size, milled in and threw her arms about Frank Colton. ".Men you aro about to become murder ers?" she shrieked, and the bravest started back iu affright. 'Do you want tho murderer of Henzy?" she asked, fastening her eyes ou Wild Ilorsu Smith. "Yes ! Yes 1" cried the crowd. "Then seize him ! 1 saw him do the deed, ind there he Mauds I' Her lung white linger was pointed at Smith, who now turned livid, fiuined at the mouth, and finally hissed, 'It's a lie!" 'Seize him before he escapes, and hear me out." There was a ring of coniiuiind iu her voice, and some of the party drew their pistol", and laid their hands on the judge. Then Sarah Hnwiuau fold h"W sho had been up the run, gathering flowers, the morning of the murder ; how "he :iw Henzy and Fr.ink Colton shaking hands when tliev parted ; and then that Wild Hnrsi Smith rode down a ravine, out of Ilerzv V -ight. soon after which she he aid thr.'f hot ; and then iw Smith galloping mhiiv n if in pur-uit ol (Vlton. "Wild Hor.-o Smith is lhe only man in this part of tho country who has a Spencer rillrt ; and here are three hells I found near Henzy's body. Whose gun will lliey fit?" The shells were passed from hand to hand: they were Smith's, the b idv wu- exhumed, and tho balls found to lit tli shells, and Frank Colton showed a similar ball that had been taken fiom his arm. How quick the current of public opinion changed, and how bravely they resisted Smith's efiorts to get away I They mnv through all and felt that the brave girl's illne-s was the result of the shock the niur eler gave her. Ho ennfe-sed, defiantly, mid was hanged back of the Coyote Saloon, with thu rope that was prepared for Colton. Then another grave was add.-d to those on the hank of Red Fox Run -number twenty and the bit of board at lhe head had rudely carved on it "Wild llor-e Smith, banged for the murder of Henzy." Red Fox Run is a well to-eln, law-abiding place now, within sound of the locomotive whistle. Sarah Row man is Mrs. Colton, and while Frank thinks her the best woman in the world, everybody iu th.it region thinks her the bravest. (lor Food Siiiiilii's tii Europe. It has been lately mentioned that the competition of the United Slates witli Rus sia in tlio wheat supply has produced a great depression at Odessa, the principal grain market of tho Illack Sea. Tho Unitd States arc evidently destined to do much to wards feeding tho world. We have a vast and fertile territory, which, compared with Europe, is sparsely settled, so that the pro duction is far ahead of the consumption, to say nothing of our superiority of agriculture and of machinery for cutting and marketing and greater facilities for tr.in-portation. Wheat, however, is only one of the articles of food which we can export to advantage. American cheese, fish and oysters are now found in most of the English and Continen tal maikets. Tho successful shipments which have been made of American heef are a great triumph, and if they lead to a large foreign demand will have a beneficial effect upon the cattle-raising regions of our coun try, especially Texas, v.he immense herds have not hitherto had much value beyond their hides. We bnve various great marts of trade in the interior, Mich as Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati, (to say nothing of coast shippirg points like Haiti more,) which have become objects of interest in Eurcpe in comitction wilh its find sup ply.

A most remarkable fight was witnessed n few mornings ago nt tho Giant's Causeway, between a fox and two ravens. The circum stances, as witnessed by several persons, are that Reynard wished to breakfast oil the ra vens. To clu'ct his purpose It was necessary for Reynard to have rccourso to strategy ,and thereby to make up for tlio want of a pair of wings. Ho, therefore, witli his provcrbla1 cunning, feigned himself asleep convenient to putrid carrion lying on tlio rocks, nml much to the annoyance of the ravens, who, doubtless, would have thought ills absence a cordial one. Tho ravens, notwithstanding thu iissiinieil innocence of the fox, watched his actions with grave suspicions, iu conse quence of which he was unsuccessful, In sev eral of las preparatory movements, to cap ture one of them. Rut ids intentions being su manifest, the anger of the ravens was fair ly aroueil at the selfi-hness displayed, and they seemed, by their thieatcning attitude, determined to contest tho matter inch by inch. Waiving, therefore, their claims to the carrion, one of them swept round to his head and the other to his tall. The fox, suspect ing nothing, was sleeping ns belore, but the r.iven at his tail smartened him with a pow ful dab. Ho (thu fox) took as little notice of it in possible, and was again beginning to enjoy his nap, when another thundering d.ih was administered to him by the raven at his head. This time the fox was observed to winco as if ho felt uncomfortable sensa tions in his cerebellum, hut, after moving a little, he resumed ids recumbent position, apparently in peaceful slumber. Xordid ho give up his little game till five or six exper iments had been tried upon him. At last, however, lie awoke wilh a roar of agony, and it wis thought by the onlookers that tho ra ven, in its vivisecting operations, had pected the eyu out of him. Thu fox, now realizing his position and the true state of affairs, was forced to act on thu defensive, and to give battlo in real earnest. At this stage the anxiety of the spectators became intense, and the Nuno of the combat was looked fur wilh more than ordinary interest. The r.i veils held to the position they had .it firM taken up, and while one was flaying his tail with a rapid succession of keen strokes, the one at the head was doing its utmost to pig' eon-hole that organ. Of course, as the fox snapped lit the onu that tormented him last, the ravens acted the heller pArt of valor and rtt rented alternately. In this muiiner tho warfare was carried on for over two hours with varying success, at one lime on the side of the ravens, and anon iu favor of "the fox. Rut, ou the w'uo'o, the balance was in favor of the ravens, us the fox was much dragged and weakened. Xev erlhi'less it was still a matter of uncertainty which would gain tin? victory. The ravcus eluiiiig tills time had continued to carry on tlie fight with a tact that would hav e done credit to mora rational beings. The couse quoiit confusion and worry told plainly em the fox, seeing that he became more reckless as the fight w.ixcd hotter, and, as a necessa ry consiqueuce, weaker ;md weaker from re peated blows. At this juncture they hud worked or fought up to the rock on which the carrion had been deposited. The raven at the enemy's tail had again tickled hlin and, after doing so, the one nt the head gave him a fearful punch, upon whie i the fox turned alter him in great fury. The nno at his tuil again performed, and, during the passage of the fox after the other raven.gave him a sound onward thud, accelerating his speed so much that lie lost his balance, and tumbled headlong into the water, amid the plaudits of tho spectators and tho exulting croak of the ravens.

Tho Xcw York Herald publishes ft deS' patch from I'oughkeepsie, Xew York, giv mg an account ol a recent eruption or up heaval iu tho highlands at the base of Su gar l.oal .Mountain. 1 lie eruption ap ears to have taken place ou Wednesday last. when there was a violent upheaving of the earth, accompanied by a loud report and great quantities of dirt wero thrown down tho mountain. Tliero were two upheavals on Wednesday night and one on Thursday morning, each followed by tlio fall of ad ditional quantities of earth, so that the amount of debris has greatly increased since Wednesday noon. A large white wood tree, about a foot iu diameter and fifty feet high, was hurled a thousand feet, from the top of the hill to the railroad track below where it struck a boulder and was split in half. A gardener living near the scene of the up heaval, says that tho land was saturated witli water, several streams running through tbo grounds, and that theso streams have re cently disappeared. On this statement the theory is put forth that an immense quantity of water percolating through the sandy soil met nt ono point and formed an undeigrouiid lake, which having filled up the cavern iu which it had formed, at length found a vent for its growing volume of water by lifting tho earth nbovo it and hurling it down the hillside. The water released from its prison rudicd down the mountain side, cutting deep ravines and carrying everything before it. (Ircat throngs of people visit tho sceno of tho upheaval daily to see tho embankments of tho ravines anil cavern crumblo nway and fall into tho chasms left by the streams of water.

Attic Salt. Thackeray, on sitting down to one of Del- monico's consummate spreads, exclaimed, "Xow, boys, don't let us say a word." This showed, undoubtedly, a nice appreciation ot the good things before hiin, nnd ft general uiitwn dt'tlin renulrpments for the satisfactory. disposition of a choice feast. Though se rious discourse of any kind, involving tho wrangle of argument or the tcdiousness of long narrative and stolid sermonizing, should lie banished from the table and be relegated to tho political hall, the bar, tho newspa-per-ofilce, and tho pulpit, whence they usu ally come, entire bilence while eating is by no means desirable. "Chatting food," says the old proverb, "is half diverted," and there is no doubt that quiet and agreeftbic con versation at meals increases enjoyment and facilitates digestion. The crisp remark, the brisk banter, the tart gassip, tho spicy an ecdote, tho sparkling wit and bubbling hu mor, when served up iu the intervals be tween the various courses of a meal, have all the exhilarating effect of wine without its danger, prevent dull pauses, and sustain that lively llow of the animal spirits so favor able to the duo performance of every func tion, especially that of the stomach and its associated organs. The intrusion, however, of serious discourse nud topics of business requiring deep thought and awakening grave reflection or anxious emo'.ioti is fatal to good digestion. Tlio reputation of many nwit, humorist, and philosopher is greatly duo to their say ings at the dinner or supper. From Rabelais down to Charles Lamb, eating and drink ing have ever been associated with wit and humor ; and they and Johnson, Uurke, Sher idan, Rogers, Sydney Smith, Hook, and many others would without their table-talk Irwn half their fame.
