BY GEORGE LITPABD. One summer night, the blaze of many lights streaming from tho windows' of an old mansion, perched yonder among the rocks and woods, flashed far Over the water- of lake Champlain. In a quiet and comfortable chamber of that mansion, a party of British officer.", j sitting around a table spread with wines ' and viands, discussed a topic of some in ( tercst, if it was not the the most inipor j tant in the world, while the tread of tho I dauccrs shook the floor of the adjoining room. Yea, while all was gaiety and dance and music in the largest hall of the old j mansion, whose hundred lights glanced over tne waters oi unampiam Here in the quiet room, with the cool evening breeze blowing in their faces through the open windows, here the party of British officers had assembled to discuss their i wines and their favorite topio. The topic was tho comparative beau ty of the women of the world As lor 'me, said a naridsomc young Ensign, 'I will match the voluptuous forms and dark eyes of Itally, ugaiust the beauties of all the world !" 'And I," said a bronzed old vtcran, who had risen to the Colonelcy by his Jon" service and hard firLttno-: 'and I have a pretty lass of a daughter therein England, whose blue eyes and flaxen hair would shame jour tragic beauties of Itally into very ujinc-s.' 'I have served in India, as you all mu'-t know,' who sat next to the veterau, 'and I never saw painting or tatute, much Jcs- living woman half so lovely as some of tho-c Hindoo maidens, bending down by the light of torches over the dark waters of the Ganges." And thuJ, one after another, Ensign Colonel and Major, had gheu their opin ions, until the vouiij American Rcfuue. I ponder at the foot of the table, is left to decide tltc argument. That American ior I blu.-h to say it hand-ome joung j fellow as he i, with a face full of manly : beauty. blue deep eyes, ruddy cheeks and 'lo-sy brown hair, that American ih a Rrfue, and a Captain in the Briti-h ar my. He wote the handsome scarlet coat the flittering appaulette, lace ruffles on hie bo om and around his wii:;ts. 'Cotne, Captain, pass the wine tbi way,' shouted the ensign; 'pas tht win ani decide this great question! Which arc the mo.-t beautiful, the red checks of Merry England, the dark eyes of Itally, or the graceful forms of Ilindoo.-tan V The Captain hesitated for a moment, and the tosMug off a bumper of old roa deria, somewhat flushed us he was with wine replied : "MoubJ your throe models of boauty, your Italian Queen, your Hindoo nymph and the Engli-b ataidtn iuto one, an to their chsrins a thousand graces of col- j or and leaturc, and I would not compare j this perfection of loveliness, for a fingle, j with the .wild artless beauty of an A ; mericac beauty.' The lauf.li of the three officers, for a ' moment, drowned the echo of the dance in the nest room. Compare hi American milk-maid with the women of Italy.' Or the lass of England !' 'Or the graceful Hindoo girl 1 The laughing hcorn of the British of ficers stung the hadsome Refuge to the quick. Hark ye,' he cried, half ri.-ing from his seat with a flushed brow, but a deep and deliberate voice 'to-morrow I marrT a wife; an American girl! To night at midnight, too, that au Amcricdn girl will jon ne deuce in the next room. You joi shall see her you shall judge for your selves ! Whether the American woman is not the most beautiful in the world I' There was something in the manner of tbe young Refugee more than iu the na ture of his information, that arrested tho attention of his brother officers. For a momct.t thoy were silent "We have heatd uomethjng of your njrriaiie." said the vouni? Ensign, 'but we did not think it would occur bo sud - denlv. Only think of it-to morrow you will be gone ettled verdict brought ... 1 in seutence pascd a man I Uut tell me ! How will your lady-love be brought to this house!

Agreed i It Is a wager ! chorussed tbe Colonel and the other two officers. And in that moment while the door way was thronged with fair ladies and gay officers attracted from the nest room bv tbe debate as the Refugee stood, with one band restinn unon tho little pile ' of 'gdl'd; his ruddy face' grew suddenly :p5lo'as a -fbfoud, bis blue eyes dilafed, ' until they were encircled by a line of ! white enamct, he remained there as if frozen to stone. 'Why, Captain, what is the matter,' cried the Colonel, starting up in alarm. Do you sec a ghost, that you stand ga zing there at the blank wall I" 1 The other officers, starting np in alarm aiso aked the cause of this singular dc nicauor, but still, for the space of a min ute or more, tho Refugee Captain stood there, more like a dead man, suddenly recalled to life, than a living being. The moment passed, be sat down with a cold shiver, made a strong effort as if to command his reasont then gave utter ance to a forced laugh. Ha, ha 1 See how I've frightened you!' he said and then mingled that cold, un natural hollow laugh. 'And yet, half an hour from that time he freely oonfessed the nature of the hor r5d picture which he had seen drawn on that blank wainscotted wall, as if by some supernatural band. But now with the wine cup in his hand, he turned from one comrade to another, uttering some forced jet, or looking to wards the doorway crowded by officers and ladies, he gaily invited them to share in his remarkable argument. Which were the most beautiful women iu the world I .As he spoke the hour struck Tvelvc o'clock was there, and with it a footstep, and then a bold'Indian am"e urging through the throng of ladies, thronging yonder doorway. Silently, his arms folded on bis war blanket, a look of oalm tdoicisni on bis dusky brown, the Indian advanced alo'ug the room, and tood at the head of the table. There was no lady with him ! Where is the fair girl T She who is to be the bride to-morrow ! Perhaps th Indian has left her in the ucxt room, or in one of the other halls of the old man sion, or pcrbap but the thought ia a foolish one she has refused to obey the lover's request refused to come to hiri!7! There wa somethinc awful in her dcep-ileneethat reijrned through the room a the solitary Indian stood there at the head of the tabic, gazing silently in the lover's face. 'Where i- she ?' at last gasped the Refugee. 'She has not refused to come! Tel! me, has any accident befallen her by the way 7 I know the fore-t is dark-, and the wild path most difficult tell me. Where is the lady for whom I sent you into tbe rebel lines !' For a moment, as the strange horror of that lover's fare was before him, the Indian was sileut. Then as his answer seemed trembling on hi- lips, the ladies in yonder doorway, the officers from the ball-room, and the party round the table formed a groupe around the two central figure the Indian, standing at tho head of the table, bis arms folded iu his war blanket tbe young officer half rising from his seat, his lips psrted, his face ashy, bis clenched hand restiug on tbe dark Mahogony of the table. Tbe In-5ian answered first by an ac tion theu by a word. First action : Slowly drawing his right hand from his war blanket, he held it in the light. The right hand clutched with blood-stained fingers, a bleeding scalp, and long glossy ringlets of beautiful dark hair 1 Then the word : 'Young warrior sent the red man for tbe scalp of the pale faced squaw ! Here, it is!' Yes the rude savage had mistaken his message ! Instead of bringing the bride to her lover's arms, he had gone on his way, determined to bring the scalp of the victim to the grasp of her pale face enemy. Not even a groan disturbed tbe silence of that dreadful moment. Look there ! The lover rises, pressed that hair so black, so glossy and so beautiful to hi heart, and then as though a heavy weight falling on bis heart had crushed him fell with one dead sound on the hard floor. He lay there stiff, and pale, and cold ! clenched right hand clutching the bloody bcaip. aud the long dark hair fall ng glossy tresses ove the floor !

'Fourteen hours in Chicager!' The stentorian voice, sounding like a trumpet, had aroused every sleeper fro.j elysian dreams into which he might have fallen after bis long, tedious, cold night's travel. Every bead was turned, every eye was fixed ou the man who bad bro ken the silence. He was standing by the stove warming his boots. To have warm ed bis feet through such a mass of .cow hide and sole-leather would have been a fourteen hours' operation.

He thrust his hand, a little less in size than a common spade, down into the ca vernous depths of his pockets and brought it up full as it could hold of twenty dol lar pieces. Don't ycr think I can stand these ere Chicagers for one fourleen hours?' A nod of assent from three or four and a smile of curiosity from the rest, answ. r ed his question iu the affirmative. 'You must have been in luck, stranger,' said an envious looking little man. 'You have more than your share of gold.' 'I have, eh? Wall, I reckon not. I came honestly by it. That's fact. Aud there's them living who con remember this child when he wont round the prai rie's trapping prairie hens and tho like to get him a pair of shoes to keep the mas aasaugers from biting my toes; I've hung myself up more nor one night in the tim ber, to keep out of tho ways of tbe wild varmints; be?-t sleeping in the world, in the crotch of a tree top!
