He was with him, you know, wheu he was called away, aud was the first to communicate to him the awful in telligence. He was such a comforter,and I have promised to have him this day two months. This time Peter was crushed. He had no words to express his brokeu hearted ness, but to rush from the house and go on as before, admiring at a distance. It was months before Peter even offer ed to eucourage hope, and even then it flickered. One day he was walking in despondent mood through one of the up per avenues, when he heard a gudden shout, and started. From a half-finished building just in front of him he saw, as he raised his eyes, a stout Milesian ma king gyrations in the air, from a height of three stories, in company with a coping stone weighing somewhat less than half a ton the two having slipped together from' a scaffolding at that height. He saw both Milesian and stone strike full upon the heads of two gentlcmeu passing, and the whole four were in an instant mixed in an inextricable heap. Like all the other spectators, Peter rushed to the rescue, only to behold, between' horror and joy, pays a small sum, called "berth money;" ! and should the voyage prove unfortunate, ' the merchant has to stand the loss of the entire outfit.

Capt. R had not proceeded far before he heard, from their' peculiar yelping, that the' dogs had lost the scent of their prey. Two of the pack probably took after the negro ; but very soon he heard the third coining in his' direction. Coming- up with him, the savage beast attempted to sieze him, but only succeeded iu grabbing the leg of his pantaloons. Having a stout, but a fortunate; blow he stunned the hound, and by repeated blows soon despatched it. Fearing the other dogs might again find the trial, he did not stop to bury or scalp his dead rebel assailant. Pushing towards our lines, becoming nearly famished, he stopped at a house and asked for food. Being taken for a Confederate, the occupants were prepar "What business r "None ; I am a traveler."
