was how it was that while, through

And this was acting in Nan. Honor
when honor is due. Whatever Nan
did, at the time; was natural, , , even
though her modes were as chugging
as the wind, and the thoughts of one

To-night, in the star-lit drive, ebe

then it is difficult to say what little

Did she not? Nan's little heart,

not - at all prepared to say that for
Cavendish Nan would not have been
sufficient. Ife would have been
something out of the common order
who would not have been satisfied
with Nan at her best.
Eve, whin iphe, heard of what bad
occurred, was at 'once in a tumult of
eMotions. Cavendish, iu her mind,
was nut equal to the husband that

But now ? this story that should
run so straight,ewerves and diverges'
sadly. Cavendish threw nphis home

one offered him abroad, and his last
walk With Nan befoie starting wait
through fields that lay white beneath,
a harvest moon. Poor Cavendish r
through all the changes of his after
life, that walk stood out clearly be
fore him. A flood of Aight illuminat
ing the hills, and the very pretty
lines-of Nan's clinging figure, show
ing, too, her face, with real traces of
grief, and glistening on the wet ,
fringes of her eye. Dearly as he
loved her, she had never appeared to
bun so sweet as row in her sorrow.
" Nan, my good, darling Nan_!" And
poor little Nan pat pp her cold hands

A SLAVE OHASE IN ILLINOIS,
BT SYDNEY BOWLED GET: .
Illinois was goOd hunting ground
then for Abolitionists and fugitives
from slavery, as well_ as for other
game. Thdre - was a bustle at the.
door one night as we mkt in the com
mon room of a little wayside tavern
inn new sttlement of a hundred peo
ple,: and presently two men,-. armed'
to the teeth, walked in with a black
man, his bands bound behind his
back, between them. He was a
brawny fellow, with a bright, intel
ligent face, who bad the wit to run
sway from . Kentucky some months
before, and thought he , had ran far
enough when be reached. a free State.
His master,
hearing where he was,
had come after him. with a friend,
and when he was found had 'only to
bid him come back again. Nobody
in Illinois then thought it proper to
ask any questioni of a white man
who said that a stray "nigger" was
his • slave: These men tossed the
poor fellow some bits of supper from
their table as they, would toss thPui
to a dug, and.when warmed aid
fill
ed, the. mastri con :escended to ex
plain tlie• circumstances of the case.
Tnis boy,: be said, was his nigger.
"He had found him the night before,
and "bad. started. that morning on
their way hack -to Kentucky. The
roads' were heavy, and to get on
faster 4 they had traveled "tie and
go," letting the negro rest hituselt
by mounting one of the horses—the
white men were on hiiiseback--ixr
casionally,'and riding . a short die.-
tenon. Tee bloc k was so subinis•live
and cheerfnlononutiugeand dismount
ing as be was told, and, whether get
ting ahead or loitering behind, so
obedient to cal', that they were
thrown entirely - off their guard 4.-
But at last, as toyy were approach
ing a piece of "timber,"—a creek,
generally, with bluffs more or less
steep, always running through the
"timber" of the prairiel,—the negro o
being a little way ahead,- drove his
heels kite his horse's sides, and _lash:
ing him 'into a. run, made for, the
woods. The whites at once;pf coarse,
saw his.parpoie"and started' in pur
suit. It was a_-short chase, but a
rapid one. When the negro reached
the edge of the bluff his master was
close behind him. Without, an _in
stant's hesitation the slave threw
himself from the horse and over the
cliff, forty feet high and almost per
pendicular, and rolled to the bottom.
The othbr followed as unhesitatingly,
for a thousand denims' worth of "nig
ger" was worth the risk CY a good
many bruises; and no decent white
man could stand still and see a ne
er*, do what he didn't- dare. Before
the black could rise the white was
upoti him, and- before,the fierce strug
gle between them was over, and at
that point when -knives' had flashed
in the eyes of both, the other white
was "counted in" in the fight, and
the black at length was overcome
and bound. - There was no more "tie
and go" for him,that 'day, but with
his hands tied- behind him he trudged
sullenly along, led captive by a rope
at his master's saddle-bow.
. "And now, Jim," said his master,
as herfluisheci his story, "aren't you
sorry for what you done ?"
