AN OLD SONG.
You laugh ns yon turn the yellow page
Of that queer old song you sing,
•' And wonder how folks could ever see •
A charm in the simple melody
' Of such an old-fashioned thing.
-
That yellow page was fair to view,
That quaint old type was fresh and now,
. That simple strain was our delight.
When here wo gathered night by night,
And thought the music of our itey
An endless joy to sing and play.
In our youth, long, lung ago,
A joyous group we loved to meet,
When hope was high, and life was sweet;
When romance shed its goldealight,
That circled, in a nimbus bnght,
O'er time's unwrinkled brow.
The lips aro mute that sang these words:
The hands are still that struck these chords
The loving heart hi cold.
From out the circle, one by one,
Some dear companion there has gone
While others stay to find how true
That'life has chord and dischonl too,
And all of us are old.
'Tis not alone when music 'thrills.
The power of thought profound that fills
The soul 'Tis not all art!
"The bid familiar trines we hear
Die not upon the listening ear ;
They vibrate in the heart.
And now you know the reason, dear,
Why I have kept and treasured here°
The song of by gone years.
You laugh at the old fashioned strain,
It brings my childhood back again,
And fills my eyes with tears.
—Old and New
WiliAT rite/1M FOR.
I live for those who love me,
For those I know are true,
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too.
For all human ties that, that, l?iMI me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hope left behind me,
--And the good'that I ean'4o.

TILE GALLANT.TIWPPER:
Eben Gardner was a Minnesota trapper
and heater—a inightf..man ip ' his field
and vt.cation. His callin was far away
out in the woods, and Stood by itself, oc
' cnpied.by himself and his little family.

"Stand by the Hight though the Heavens MI r
aOod-be upon them and there was need

Eph 'iatl hastily driven the cattle and
horses into the sheds. Every thing was
put in a state of ilege. The heavy plank
window•sbutters were barred, and it was
through the small .openings in these,
which made a dim twilight in the inter
for of the cabin, that the two frontiers—
men proposed to repulse their assailants.
Enh's mouth was drawn into a grim
hard bite, but there was a kind of glow
about his fine dark eyes. He felt a wild
joy ne could but half conceal, for his op
portunity had come to defend the girl he
loved with the.wnole force of his impet

could die with her, and to a being fikc
Eph that alternative was far better than
living without her.
nanny had been busy on her own line
of defence. She was suple and spt yas a
cat. Flushed with excitement, the child's
dark face was almost handsome.
••What be you about, Huuny ?" Asked
Ehen.
"Getting my gun ready," said Gunny,
coolly. She had rummaged out an old
fowling•piece from some corner of the
cabin. You know you said yourself,
father, I could make a first rate shot.—
You have always been wishing for a boy.
I'll he your. boy, father, and stand close
beside you, and we'll show the redskins
some tall shooting."
"You're a trump, Bunny, a regular
little brick," echoed Eben, feeling a lump
iu his throat ; and he passed his hand
softly over the girls thick hair. "But
that gun Is no good, You shall be my
other hand, and help me load. Only,
child, when the firing begins you must
get behind my back:
"list !" said Eph, listening with his
head bent low. "I hear them coming ,
through the woods."
Bessie, in the obscurity of the cabin, l
fluug herself down at Eph's feet.
" Oh, Eph," she moaned, "you told me
the other night you loved me, that you
never loved a woman before. If you
love me still, promise me that you will
kill me before I fat) into the hands of
those savages—before they do to me what
they did to poor Mary Tuttle. Oh, don't
let them scalp me, Eph I Put your rifle
to my head and blow my brains out. I
ani a coward, or I could do it myself, for
there is a sharp knife hidden here in the
bosorii of my dress. Promise me, Eph,
and I'll reward you if God spares us."
Eph's face was portentously pale. He
gave her an indescribable look, and said,
curtly, "I promise."
A dark living stream came flowing out
of the bushes and undergrowth. Al!
that could be seen were waving plumes,
and the glow of war-paint, and gleaming
murderous eyes, and the shining gun
barrels held before them ready fora,
deadly spring.
"The bloody cusees have drove along
all the cows and horses they could gob—
ble," muttered Eben, "and hoppled them
on the edge of the wood& They don't
dream of the warm welcome we've got
ready for them, Eph. There, now they
begin to smell mischief; the shanty looks
too quiet. Who's that big brawny fellow
crawling ahead ?"
"Big Pine-Tree," whispered Eph, with
his eye to the opening. 'He and his
braves killed every settler in Slocomb
Valley last year. Don't tire yet ; lay low.
Let them creep up closer. We must pick
our men every time."
There was a blaze, a sharp report, a
cloud of smoke ; den a yell went up
from the savages, as they sprang to ;heir
feet, that shook the tasselled corn like a
great wind:
1 7 "How many bit dust that time, Eph ?"
Eplt held up two fingers.
"Let me load foryou," whispered Ron
ny. "I'm your other arm. Take the old
gun"; it won't kick this time."
Eben ,looked over his shoulder, and
saw Bessie crouching on the floor behind
him.
"Go comfort your grandfather," said
lie sternly.
lie old man sat gazing with pale, va
cant and bewildered eyes at the scene
before him. A low mono , anons moan,
lute cite cry of some animal in pain is
sued from his lips. Bessie dragged her
self to him, put her arms around his
neck ? and drew his head down to her
bdiom. Mrs. Gardner hhng a huge ket
tle of water over the fire • it was all she
could do. She crept to the bed on her
knees, with her apron over her brad. and
began rocking back and forth in the in—
tensity of silent prayer.
The yells and hoots and howls of the
savages were like the beating of storm
waves on the shore. Every shot from
inside the little fortress told fatally upon
the enemy. There were wild wailings
and death songs [row a band chosen to
carry off the dead and wounded.
"Only two rounds left," whispered Eph
wiping away the powder and smoke from
his eyes.
The decisive moment of the assault
had come. There was a scrambling of
feet up the side of the cabin, and the
sound of dull, heavy blows on the roof,
which; fortunately, was made of timber

,In a kind of
o)11 y the, tough plank yielded
pntil there was an apperture large enough
to admit a head—a head with a pair of
snaky, glittering, evil eyes. Eph,standing
little in the shadow, brought down his
us. It clove the skull of Big Pine• Tree
through bone and brain. Then followed
a sharp report of a rifle. It was the last
Eph knew. His arm dropped laic dnd
nerveless at his side. His head fell for
ward a little ; he stank to his knees, and
finally fell prone. •
Bessie uttered a heartrending cry.
"Hark l" said Mrs. Gardlier, holding
her back, for she would have rushed to
Eph at the risk of her life. "There's
something coming through the woods.—
It's either the judgment-day, or an earth
(Rake."
It was a- crushing and rushing and
rending through brush and undergrowth
with the steady, even, measured beat of
horse& hoofs pressing to their utmost
speed.
The loss of Big Pine Tree had disorga
nizecl,the attack below for a moment,and
the brpach through the door was not yet
large lough to admit a man's body. bb
en was engaged still in a close hand to
hand fight upon the root, dashing the
boiling water upon the foe, and using it
at the same time to put out the fire. In
a moment's breathing space he happened
to look toward the wood, where the op
enings in the trees rendered visible any
moving object behind them. Then he
raised Lis voice in a mighty shout : "The
soldiers ! the soldiers!" he cried. Deliv
erance was close at hand.
When Eph feebly came to conscious
ness, his eyes seemed half full of blood ;
there was a strange whirring in his head.
His Limbs were of as little use to him as
if they had belonged to another body.—
Some one was fumbling and feeling about
his side with a gentle hand, and then he
beard Eden's voice.
"There may be two or three ribs bro
ken , I can't tell yet until we get him on
to the bed ; but I know the wound ain't
mortal. He's young, and tough as a pine
knot. Come, Ce!lady, hurry along;
bring me some bandages out of the chest.
tear up a shirt if there isn't anything else
handy."
It was a minute or two before Eph
could concentrate his strength on the act
of opening his eyes. Then
all was mist—a mist of pain ; for he was
conscious of a terrible ache somewhere.—
But presently he saw a patch of the cub
(in floor with sunlight lying on it, and
knew, though he did not see them, that
a group of men were gathered about the
door. Nanny was by the fire place feed
ing her grandfather something out of a
•bowl. Where was he ? Who was sup
porting him ? With this thought Eph
feebly directed his gaze upward until it
rested on Bessie's face. She was holding
his head in her lap,and he saw that a lit
tle pearly tear was steali ig down her
cheek. In an electric flash all the pavt
camp back to him.
"What has happened to me ?" He mo-
Itione i out the words nailer than spoke,
for his tongue and lips seemed made of
lEll=l
"You got hurt, Eph," and the tears
iropped down on his taee ; "but I hope
not much. You won't die, Eph, you're
;0 young and strong. Father says it isn't
mitftal wound, and he is a Kind of nat
ural bone setter."
There were other questions in Eph's
eye=, to which he could rot give voice.
"The soldiers came from the fort," Bea
ne went on, "just as the fire gut under
way and was about tc., smother us all.—
They drove off the red skins and are now
;hosing them/through the woods, only a
rew that staid to help father put out the
,flames. But you saved us, Eph, when
you held them back from breaking down
the door.. Not ait' of us are hurt. Futh
lt.r didn't get a scratch. Oh, what a mis-
Israble coward I was ! I could do nab
to help ; but you, Eph—you would
lase given your life to save us."
Bessie's face quivered, and she covered
with her trembling hands. Eph never
emoved from her his eyes. His gaze was
rofound, searching, inscrutable, going
own into the very depths of her being.
Vith all his impetuosity, there was in
Flni something of the deep reticence of
be savage.
"Do you want me to live ?" he said at
.list. And then he added elowly,"I don't
rant to live any longer after what you
tild me the other day. You couldn't like
atl ignorant fellow brought up like a
trays cub in the bush."
A painful crimson tide swept over Bes
sie's neck and cheek. "Eph," said she,
'1 was a foolish, silly girl, not worthy of
pu. This day has taught me the value
d a brave true man.' Then she bent
ier head lower, and added, in a whisper,
'You are dearer to me than life, and 1
nest have been loving you all the time."
Eph's face was transfigured. He
sretched out his hand. Bessie under
good the motion, and clasped it. in hers.
then, with a great sense of weakness
30ming over him, he fell asleep.
Eben was examining the old man for
the third or fourth time to see that he

The old face smiled vaguely. "I knew

,which
seemed to be indicative of something in
