The.soldiers:had not remained in ambush long,
When 'by a (pick sigh, the scout gave them to un
eeristand that some one was eppinaching. They
soon saw art:lndian Coming at a rapid but silent
pace along towards the crossing. He had bat just
'gotclearly in view, When at a distance of about two
tods,behind, appeared another and se on to the
number of seven. They were all in war paint, and
armed with rifles and tomahawks: The soldiers
were all attention to the moi ements of their guide,
expecting every moment to receive the signal to
6re. To their surprise, however, they saw him lay
down We gnn, and draw from beneath the log a
long and powerful bow, and a‘bundle of flint-head.
ed, : sha9 pointed arrows Ile then turned himself
about under the log, until be faced the pass in the
creek.
The strange Indiana appeared to move forward
willtiaut die least he,itatidn Or suspicion. The fore
mom of them on veining to the creek, .dropped at
once down to cross'it. At this -moment the guide
Was observed to drew in til bow with a quick and
powerful eft - or! ; and sq rapidly as almost to elude
.the sight, an arrow was sped on its mission of death
The-stranger was been to drim in the middle of the
brook, and not a cry issued from his mouth. Quick
as laghtring the Mohican adjusted an arrow to his
bnw, so that as soon as the second Huron had drop.
ped down to cross the stream, he too was observed
to reel and fall without a green.
In the same manner Was the third and the fourth,
and the fifth Heron pierced as he leaped into the
fatal ditch. They were so close to.each other and
the whole scene passed with Such miraculous si
lence and rapidity, that neither of them had observ
ed the fate of his comrades until he met his own,
The sixth Indian, however, being a little more he
hind than the others, seemed to be somewhat sur
prised that he did not see them in view on the
poOle bank.' For this reason he descended into the
gully with a little more hesitation. He was imme
diately aware of the horrible tee that had arrested
their steps and silenced their tongues. Ile ende-av
ored to recoil, but it was already to late. A fatal
missive was also on the wing for him. He was
struck like the rest; but not with immediate death,
and ha had time to raise into the depths of the for-
ests one of those appalling yells of warning and of
rage which announces among the people of his
race, the presence of the mortal danger.
The soldiers looked upon this fearful scene in as
tonished silence, entranced by the murderous mag
ic which took place before them. When the still
ness and the spell were broken by that wamingcry,
bey expected to see the wood swarming with hos
tile savages. None, however, appeared ; and when
the echo had died away they looked in vain fur the
seventh. and the last of the Hurons. He had van
ished as if swallowed op in the earth. No trace of
him was visible,-nn sound of retreating foot steps
was, audible. The Alobican, however, still kept his
position behind the log itself, but with his fiery
eyes bent in quick - and searching glances in almost
every direction at once. He, was obviously at fault,
as well as the rest. No one eared to move or speak
above his breath. There was something, awful in
t he mysterious and sudden disappearante. '
-The silence continued for some len minutes,
when the sharp crack of a rifle was heard, and the
Mohican sprang to his feet with the blood stream•
ing down one side of his facli. His only exclama
tion was an emphatic " Ugh !" In an instant the
fatal bow and arrow were again in requisition, and
his face toward the Indian, he sent another arrow
on it's mortal mission. The soldiers beard a slight
scrabbling overhead, and on looking up they saw
the Huron falling through the limbs of a neighbor:
ing tree. Into this he had had the addreSs to swing
himself up, unseen by his enemies, during the 'too
-1 Mental) confusion oocasionel by the warning cry
pf his companion. From that perch he had coon
discovered the Inking place of the Mohican, and,
bent apart vengeanze, had immediately fired at him,
without considering, "and perhaps without caring,
whether or not enemies were near. The impru
dence cost him his life ; and withal, he hat) only
saucceeded m inflicting upon the Mohican a slight
' wound in the temple_
The scene,
_however,' new rapidly changed,...
,Shorilar after the report of the - rifle, the distant heavi ,
tramp of a body of regular troops was heard ap
proaching through the woods. They, loci, plungeA
into the fatal 'pass and' met with a like bet not
,equally bloodless reception, by the soldiers in am
bush. This time itkwas the rifle that did the basi

Why is rain Water sof,tl—Becaose it is not ins
pregnwed with earth and minerals:
Why is it more easy to wash with soft water than
with hard?-Because soft Water unites freely with
soap, and dissolves it instead of decomposing it and
hard water does.
Why does wand ashes make hard water soft?
Ist. Because the , carbonic acid of wood ashes
combines with the sulphate of lime in the hard wa.
ter, and converts it into chalk.; 2dly. Wood ashes
converts some ol the soluble salts of watiss into in
solvable, and ihrotira them dOwn as,u,sediment, by
which the water remains more , pure. .
Why ijas rain :vrater such an unpleasant smell
when it is collected in n rain wate,r tub or tank ?
Because it is impregnated with decomposed organ•
is matters, washed .from roofs, treeir, or cask ir.
which it is collected.
' Why does water melt salt? Because very mi
nute particles of waielinsinnatelhemselves Into the
prima of the salt, by capillory attraction, and force
the crystals apart from each other.
How does blowing hot foods mike them cool?
It causes the air which has bean heated by the fond
to change more rapidly; and give room to fresh cool
air. •
Vhytle ladies fan themselves in hot weather?
The fresh particles' of air may be brought in contact
with their face by the action of the fan ; and as ev
ery 'fresh particle of air otsorbs some heat horn the
skin, this chinge makes them cool:-
'Does a fait coo! the air B No, it makes the air
hotter by imparting to it the heat of our- face, but
Cools our lace by traiisfariug-its heat to the air.
Why is there always a strong drabght ihroulh
the key hole of , a door 1 Because the air in the
room we occupy is warmer than the air in the hall ;
therefore, the air from the hall rushes through the
key-hote Into the room, and: causes a draught.
Why is there aiWays a strong dratigh under the
door and through the crevices on each sale ! Be
cause cold air rushes' from the hall to supply the
void in the room caused 6y escape 0/ warm air up

Why . is there , always a draught throtigh' Wei win
dow ereviceiri Because the external air, being
colder than the room we occupy, rushes through the
window crevices to snpply the deficiency caused
by the escape of warm air op the chiraney.
If you open the lower sash of a window, there is
more draft than if you open the sipper sash. Ex
plain the reason of this! If the lower sash be open
cold external air will rush freely into the room and
cause a great 'draught inward; but titheupper sash
be open, the boated air of the FLOM will rush out,
therefore of course there will be lean draught in
ward.
By which means is a room better ventilated—by
opening the upper or lower sash!: A room is•bet.
ter ventilated by opening the upper sash, because
the hot, vitiated air, which always-a/tends towards
the ceiling, can escape more easily.
By which means is a hot room more quickly
cooled—by opening the upper or lower sash? A
hot room is conk(' more quickly by opening the
lower sash, because the cool air can enter more

are formed.
Which is the hottest place in a church or chapel l
The gallery.
Why is the gallery of a public place hotter than
the lower parts of the building? Because the heal.
ed air of the building ascends, and all the cold air
which can enter through the doors and windows,
keeps to the floor till it has become heated.
Why does plants • often grow out of. walls and
towers? Either because the wind (dew the seeds

set it down that a blessing in the shape of a strict

" Tom," one moming„said she, lovingly,
~" we

never once have I had the slightest occasion to re

Of course Tom Was delighted to bear his 'dear
little Wife talk so encouragingly, and
,expreas t , hap
pitiess at his behaviour ;.and he repeated assur
ances of his determination always to be •en sutra

little can we foresee the breakers of temptation---
Tom had to dine, that evening with the .0 crwls'
(the ornithological title of his club,) ant he felt in
admirable spirits, and his health Was drank Warm
ly and frequently after the removal of the cloth ;
the consequence was , lliat by the time the company
seperaled he was in a happy state of elevation,
with a vivid potion of men, women and 'all things
terrestfial.
" I r-r eaily believe rm thl,runk 1" so
liloquised Tom ; poising himself on his heels, with
his arm elariped endeariitly , around a lamp Oost:

don't deny it—you're a b-beast
By dint of a series of vast efforts, he , soccteetled
in gaining his feet, and proceeded towards home,
reeling stn! talking to himself all the way. After
mistaking the house nest door, the door front , of
hick Walthe same, for his own, he had an unde
cided search of at least an hoar for his hitch Vey,
which he at length
. loond in his boot, it having
slipped teowsers eg through a hole in ,his
pocket.
Now in the haldhe leaned op against.the wall
and undertook a cogitation. Hi could sufficiently
gather hii senieti to remember that the clock in hie
wife's room was mil of repair, and as she had re.

she won't notice my eyes," ruminated Tom. " But
hold on—l'd - dike to forgot—sire will smell my

He puzzled for'a few moments, and in the end
concluded to seek the kitchen, and meddle-slightly
with the.spice-box.. Down the stone stairs he went
and alter patting various fluids, feeling into a row
of pans, jugs and ilishes, he at length found.a hand
ful of cloves, which he thrust it to his mouth as if
they had been so ninny sugar plums.
"T4-they're hot." spluttered Tom, with
his face all aglow " but they answer the purpose.

Tom made several Stumbles kifier.thisontliires•

" Gobd 4rneihrii Toni, how long you are, and
how dreadfully you smell o(,cluves."

emtalmed like a 'mummy."
This made him twitch and go wool-gathering.
" Phew ,you're regularly retuned with them

Tom was thrown entirely off his guard his brain
rambled, and without the remotest idea of what, he.
was saying, replied—" W-w hy—hit—Clara, dear
_the fact is I have just been on a little trip to the
Fast Indies, and while I was there was glare
fell over a spice box !"
This told a tale. , Clara immediately sat up in
bed and shed tears, The cat was out of the . bag;
,and, we should not be surprised , but that a Caudle
lecture as long as a charity sermon was the Conse
quences of poor Tom's unfortunate slip of,.the
tonne. He has never touched cloves from that'
Jay to this, and it is probably, ere, long, la wilt
avoid the,".bottle" entirely, his wife insisting that
every one that drinks most sooner pr later keep
company with a subterraneous person, distinguish.•
ed from the rest of mankind by a remarkably ppe
cies of tail ant .a " a cloven foot ;" this latter adorn
ment would keep Tom out of his road, if nothing
else succeeded. Most decidedly.

The real nature of ventriloquism is so little un
derstood by persons who write the " humorous
sketches" of the day, that the dinsr ludicrous blon
der* are node by them, and their readers are led
into egregious errors in regard to the tree philoso
phy of sounds produced by the ; ventriloquists. We
frequently read an acconnt efscenes in which• Si
gnor Blitz, or some other pmfessor, of the magic, has
while trarelin incog., •Ilunwn
s partjes into great
disorder, by causing his voice to,he heard in vari
ous directions, appearing to come Irobl .the lips. at
various persons of the company. This is simply
ridiculous, when we
. consider that ail the ventrilo
quist can do is is to produce articulate sounds in
his throat, and the appearance of dirtinee is ero.
duced by making the sounds lower in the throat,
and softer in their tone. The ventriloquist, must be
at some distance from his audience, enduing have
some aid from their imaginations,. in order to pro.
duce the rretiired effect upon their minds. .11e di.
recta their anentionito a box or window, .or floor ol
the stage, and as the imaginary I " Jack" recedes
into thecellar, he ?aids the replies supposed to
come from "Jack" lower•inix;l,lower in his throat,
as "Jack" vanishes in the distance. When you
occupy the middle of a room, a ventriloquist, stand.
ing at one side of the room, cannot throw his voice
over your held r and, make it appear to come from
the side opposite himself, even by the , help of your
own imagination. Ile will never attempt spuh a
teat as that, and those who write or read on the sob.
ject should keep this fact in view, in order to main
tain consistency or probability in the mattei.,
