"Ami now,' said tlie Governor, gazinsa'jroad on t!ie .ild-up store Of the sheave that dotted the clearing, und covered the meadows o'er, " 'Tis meet tliaf we render praises botanic of this yield of grain; ' , 'Tis meet tliat the Lord of the harvest he tlinnkcd for his sun and rain. 'And ihereT.ire, I, William Bradford, (by the grace of God to-day,.

Bat see, in our open clearing, how iro'den the melons lie; Enrich them wil'.i sweeis'and s)ices, and give us the pumpkin pie." So bravely the prepj rations went on for the Autumn Feast; . The deer and the bear were alaiuililered; wild jiarue frora the greatest to least Was heaped in the Colony cabins; brown home-brew served for wine, And the plum and grape of the forest, f .r orange and peach and pine. At lenrth came the ray appointed; the snow hail begun to fall, But the clang from the rneeting-hou-'-c liel- fry rang merrily out for all, And summoned the folk of Plymouth, wh liastened Willi glad accord To listo"n to Eider Brewster as he fervently thanked the Lord. - In his se?t s.tt Governor Bradford; ir-irn, mat mm and maidens fair; Miles Siaiid'sV and" all'liTa soldiers, wiih corselet and sword, were there; And nobbing and tears and gladness had each in its turn the sway; For the grave of the sweet K we Standi.th o'eishudowed Thanksgiving Pay, .

Aud then, as the Feast iiukd, with gravely nflkial air, The Gofcrnordreve his broadsword out from its mahliard there, And smiting the trencher near him, he cried In heroic way, nail!

A lighthouse on a rocky coast Outside, thunder, lightning, wind and rain, and great black waves lashing up against the rocks at the foot ol" the tower. Inside a winding flight of fctaira leading to an octagon- haped room containing the plain est furniture. The occupants, a girl of eighteen, tall and lithe, with black hair hanging in massive braids to her waist, and luminous gray eyes under btraight black eyebrows. Her dress of gray water-proof cloth was short and 6cant and hung in wet folds about her limbs : aud strangest of all girdles, a coil of rope encircled her waist and trailed one end on the . floor.. Bv her side a boy of fourteen years, with his blue blouse ojien at the throat, ana a ta- ded plush cap on his dark curls. These two were bending over a man who lay in all bis magnificent ength on the floor, a picturesque looking man, witb fair hair clinging in dripning masses to his forhead ; a curling golden beard and a white firm throat, and one might be it- uaded that the closed lids with their long fringes covered a pair of steel blue eyes. "Beckon he s a coner, l.iz,"said he bor. ns he paused in his vigor ous rubbing of the man's hands. The girl was forcing some liquor from a tin cup between the blue lips and did not answer directly ; but when her patient gave tne uuni- est possible sieh. she exclaimed joyfully; 'iSee, Neddie, he breathes! Aow work last," whereupon tney both fell to rubbing him at a great rate. When Allen Mclntvrc opened his eyes he looked about him confused- y. The odd little room, tne gin with the black braids, the boy look ing 60 like her' that one would at once recognize the relationship, the drenched condition of all three, and the strange languor that through all his frame what did it mean ? He closed his eyes wearily, and then the boy spoke up in this bluff fash ion : . ' 'Vou came near going under, cap'n, but Lizzie pulled you out" Then Mclntyre remmembered all, and languidly "raised himself into a sitting jtosture. "It is too wild a night to be afloat in a little craft like that," said the girl, making a "gesture seaward, where a tiny boat had broken np before. , "It was fair when I left the shore," replied the man. "I ventured furtl -er then I intended. Then the wind went down, and 1 could only drift until the storm arose. I have a rec ollection of a fierce rush of w'md and wave that upset my boat, and a blow on my head, probably from some part "of the boat as I went over." Ym.h paid the bov there came a flash of lightening, and Lizzie and I j looking out saw the boat capsize. So Lizzie caught ft rope ana ran, and I after her. We're used to that sort of thing eh, L5::zie?" Lizzie nodded and the boy continued, animatedly: "You see, my father oilier: SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAYNOVEMBER 30, 1881. keeps the lijrht. but he is sick or gone to the mainland;-and-we've pulled out more thifYt one fellow i more than half lead. Who" "Never mind that, Neddie, inter rupted hid sister, ' gently, and the unspoken reproof in her voice had the cfi'ect of making the lad look shamefaced as lie went hack to the first part of his etorr. 'VeIl. sir. we ran down the slope I at the 'side of the cliff out there where the waves were tearing ip like KyXX) wild horses. ' And every time it lightened we could see you bobbins around out there like a piece ot cork. , We were nfraid of vour striking acainst the ledges, Lizzie fastened one endoftheropo umurid her' waist, and I held the oiher while she went straight in and htruck out for vou. ".Mclntyre uttered a low exclama tion and turned liia ht;ad from Jseu die to Neddie's sister. The boy wagged his head proudly. An, haul tie w iui gleaming eye, "thitl's nothing fir our Liz to do ! She caught vou and I pulled you both in. But j'ou re., monstrous heavy I thought we d never get you up StNifi." Mclntyre laughed as he rose rath er doubtfully to his feet '"1 tU;l a trille shaky,", he eaid,; and then. "It U easy to see that you are brother and sister. I am Allen Mclntyre,; at your service, Mis. Lizzie, and he bowed in a fasliion that gave the lie to hiit dec laration of hhukiness.- ."Of course I realize that you and your gallant brother here have rendered me a great service one for which you shall not go unrewarded, although I can never hope to fully recompense you." Lizzie raised her he;id haughtily "Sir, such work as we have done to-night we do not for wages. If vou it-el strong enough I will walk with you to the house. I think the storm is passing over. We live a quarter of a mile from the light Oar accommodations are plain enough, but there is no other house on the island. Oh, I am ar good as ever, now " said Mclntyre: hut will vou leave this hoy here all alone?" She smiled. ' "Ned is not afraid and he can tend the light as well as I." "Very well, I will go with you." lie waved a smiling adieu to the hoy, and followed his guide down the narrow stairway. Two davf later t small boat put out from the isl ir.d, which when it returned, brought Melntyre's lug gage, . Lizzie fatht r, who was laid up with an attac!; of rheumatism, had taken a fancy to the young man, who expressed a desire to spend a few weeks there at any price they may charge. Captain Clyde straight way ordered Neddie off in hia new boat to the mainland for the gentle man's traps. The youngster obeyed this order with alacrity, for the good humored ease of the stranger, together with the appreciation of "our Liz," had wrought favorably on our Neddie. Even the maiden aunt, who kept house, smiled frosti ly at the prospect of this pleasant ad lition to their family. Mclntyre, who had been wander ing about three or four hundred miles from home in search of a quiet place to spend the summer, congrat ulated himwlf on having drifted to the very place. "Although it was an expensive style of drifting," lie remarked, with a smile, as he enclosed a bank note in an envelope, to lie sent to the owncroftbe little boat which had slipped out into the waves abreast of the light house. A week later, as he sauntered shoreward there came to his ear a wildly sweet strain of melody. As he listened in amazement, for he had teen no musical instrument about the place, he began to realize that it was' part of Straps' artist waltzes that he heard a strain that he often whistled. ' He stepped round the junting of the cliff, and there leaning against the granite wall, was Lizzie her chin dropped carelessly, on a little red violin, as she drew the bow across the strings. "You whistle'd that the other day," shft faltered, "and I liked it so much it haunted me all the time." He stepped forward. "Why, Lizzie, is it possible j'ou play like that without notes?" "I don't play much, now," she said, drawing her dark brows over her eyes. "A party of ladies and gentlemen came here to visit the lighthouse once and overheard me playing. I heard one of .the ladies sjiy : 'The idea . of a girl with a fid dle!" So I thought may be it didn't look welL" "Not look well, indeed 1" and he laughed. in merry scorn. "Why, child, did you ever hear of Camilla Urso?" "No." . "Well, she is a lady, and she makes the most exquisite music on a violin, and ; thousands of people go to hear her. Why Camilla Urso hirself would listen with pleasure to your mnaic, Lizzie." said Mclntyre, cxtravugautly. 'Who taught you how to play ?" ''No one." - This violin belongs to my father, and he learned me how to tune it I pick up tunes that I hear, but' I never heard anything halt so beautiful as the tunes I hear yon sing and whistle." Mclntvre smiled : his repertoire of music consisted of 6natehes of operas, waltzes, redowas, and Ger man airs; which were dimly asso ciated in his mind with nights of brilliant gayety; and ho wondered dreamily how this pure minded healthy souled girl would look upon the elegant dissipation carriea on by the set of which he was a favor ite. ' A " sudden clow warmed his heart as he thought that not one of the fine ladies, who had swung lan guidly through the mazes of that very waltz of the great composer's could have rescued him so bravely Irom the jaws of death as Lizzie had Lizzie who stood there so quietly, with her little violin hanging from her breast, and her fingers straying lovingly over the strings. ; "Tell me about Camilla Urso," she said, presently. "Did you ever hear her play?" " ' mi KST-AJBLISHED, 1827. "Yes, indeed ? I havo a paper in my trunk containing a little sketch of her life, which you ma v read for yourself, and which can tell you better than I cani of her great tal ent." 1 i ' For a moment Lizzie's eyes met his own, a look of fehutnc and distress gathered in therh. "Mr. Mclntyne, that will be of no use I cannot read." "Liz2ie!" llct violin slipped from her grasp and would have fallen to the ground had riot Mclntyre caught it, and she covered her face with both bands., ' - "But. Lizzie' persisted her com panion, in some perplexity, I df not understand. There are good public schools in the city, and surely your father must have known that it was his duty to cive a girl like you an education, to say nothing of Neddie, who is growing Uj such a splendid voung fellow." It ia very kind of vou to say such things oi .Neddie and me, we . a i Si a are common people, and ours is a common life. Neddie did spend twojeara with our uncle who lived in New York State. He went to school there. But father doesn't think much of book learning Aunt Jane never had time to help me, and Neddie is too restless to kecD still long enough, I suppose." She continued quaintly. "You who live out in the world look at these things in a different ' way; but I know of many who are just where I am. Uhv, there s a whole lamily on that island," pointing to a tinv speck away to the eastward, "who cannot read or write." Once in three months, perhaps, they go to the mainland. I scarcely ever go. I suppose l sh;ui always live here, and I am contented, I think," and a look of doubt gathered in her eyes; "At least I was. But lately I have wished so much that I could read and write, and had books for it is so lonely here in the winter." "Well, dear child " said the youngman gently, "this gives me the privilege of paying my debts, doesn't it?" ' f Your debts ?" echoed Lizzie, in surprise. ' Certainly, Uid vou not fash me out of the water a week ago? Well. now, you will, put your six feet of driftwood to some service. I will teach you to read and to write." After that Mclntyre proved the most faithful of teacheis, and his pupil made steady progress with her lessons. Neither was the violin any longer in disgrace. Lizze play ed to attentive ears while learning a deeper lesson than either at first realized. Mclntyre was the farstto wake up. He -was a man of the world, and understood himself, or thought he did thoroughly. Ao eordingly he parted ono morning for a stroll along the beach to think over iL.:. 2-. .'.'J "As the caso now stands" he eo- iloquized, as he lit a cigar, and threw the match away, "it is cither Lizzie or the world ; and . I confess the world has charms for me." His gaze wandered absently over the swelling waves, and lingered on far oif sail that dipped and rose, ipped again, until it Bank below the horizon. Ilia lips curled invol- untarilv as he thought of the dele- ito ladies in his get, and how wretched they would make the poor girl's life in their own high bred fashion. No but would they, though?" A famt amused look lingered on is face as he recalled Lizzie's rather tately carriage and dignity that re eemed her lrom being common place. He laughed out "It would bo fun to see her among all those peacocks. Poor Lizzie! What shame that she has been ne glected ! If she had received half the advantages of any one of my ac quaintances she would have sur- assed them all. YV ell, well, it is high time I returned home. I have been here six weeks. Yes, I will go away to morrow and forget her, as she will forget me." So saying, Mclntyre threw awav le end of his cigar, and started into a brisk walk along the shore, coming driectlv upon th object of is mougnis, wno was pacing to and frOj drawing primitive music from her violin. She wore a scar let jacket over her gray dress, and a white hankerchiet tied under her chin. His heart throbbed faster at the sight of her. Fool !" he muttered, "to think I could leave her. Now 4hcn my man, 'It's all for love, and the world well lost'" Lizzie greeted his approach with a smile, but plaved to thecmseof the strain before she spoke It was a iittlo German air that he had taught her. "Is that right?" she queried, as she finished. "I cannot tell you." Then, meeting her look of aston ishment with her own earnest gaze, he said : "Lizzie, will you care very much when I go away from here?" Her eyes dropped, the red blood dyed her cheek and ' brow for a moment and then faded away, leaV' ing her quite pale. "I think it will be well for you to go, she said. "And why, Lizzie, will you tell me ?" You need not fear to tell me anything," he added as she hesita ted. She looked away from him, and her voice was almost inaudible as she answered : "Because because Ob, I cannot tell you ! You know " . "I have thought of going, Lizzie; but I have realized to-dav that I cannot leave you ever again, dear." He put one arm around her, but she drew away from himt trembling from head to foot "Don't Mr. Mclntvre ! 1 want to rember you kindly, and I cannot ifl you use euch language to me." "For heaven sake !" he cried, irt astonishment, tell me, have I said anything wrong to you? Is it wrong to love you ? If that is a sin, then I am the greatest of tinners." "I do not forget that you are a gentleman, and I a poor, ignorant girl, who knows only what you taught her." ' - "But lizzie, I ask you to be my f wife, and you have not answered me. I do not boast when I say my suit would not be rejected in most e rir e , . - . , . lumiiies oi nign standing where i am known." ' "Ah, that is the idea," she ex claimed, hastily; "if as you say, you do care for me" she stammer ed a little over the words, "you would soon gror weary of my stu pid ways. I should shame you every day of your life, and your grand friends would wonder at your choice, and I should die of homesickness." ' "With me, Lizzie?" "Yes even with you !" smiling and blushing as she met his eyes. lie laughed he was bo euro of winning her and kissed her mouth. "Well, sweetheart, I will live here, then, and turn keener of the light after your father. Will that suit you ?" Dor.'t deceive yourself. Mr Mc lntyre. We would not be happy together, and think how terrible it would be bound together forever." He laughed exultantly and with a great deal of amusement "Faith ! I think it would be a mighty pleasant thing. . Come Lizzie, you can deny me no longer. Do you not see that your own hap piness depends upon your answer? Now kiss me, dear, and tell me that you will take the life you were so brave to Save into vour owu keep ing." . - He drew her gently toward him, but she faced him suddenly, with great tears trembling on her long lashes. "Do you think it cost me noth ing to refuse you you who have made. my" life so beautiful these few short weeks?. I am rudo and igno rant such a wife would burden and disgust you in time. It is lor your good that I refuse to accept what seeras like a heaven to me." And then, swift as a' deer, she flew along tha shore, leaving Mcln tyre to struggle between anger, amusement and wounded self-love. All that day he tried to speak to lizzie alone, but she gave him no oportuiuty. At last in every des peration, "ha tapped at the' door of her father's room. Captain Clyde was again . suffering with rheuma tism, and the young man lound liiminh'13 easy chair, with. Lizzie hovering about him. ."Captain Clyde" said Mclntyre, as he blocked toe doorway with his hroad Bhotldera to prevent Lizzie from escaping..,"! wish tosay'a few words to your daughter in your presence, since she refuses to grant mc that privilrgo elsewhere." "Say on, my la.i, she would be proud to hear whatever you have to say to her." "Well, Lizzie, I will go away from here to morrow, and stay as long a you bid me. When the time ia up I will return to claim you for my wife." You shall see that this is no idle, passing fancy." His eyes grave and sad, rested "on the girl's flushed face, and the bluff captain's ryes widened in amaze ment "Speak out, gal," he commanded.

Lizzie?" he said, stepping toward her witli out stretched arms. "No, I'll be bound r said the old man, with a sly twinkle in his eyes. "When I went courting, my girl used to kiss me."

At the foot of one of the promon tories of the Sierra Madre, near the town of Hidalgo, in the northeastern part of Mexico, dwells a man named Agnagetti. - He is over eighty years of age, and his tall figure, white hair and patriarchal air gives him an in describable appearance. With the exception of his wife, he lives en tirely alone in his cozy log cabin, subsisting, for the most: part, upon the proceeds from wild animal skins. But his lifo has not always . been thus entirely desolate. Only a few yeara ago three child ren brightened their humble home two boys, Gabriel and Ernst, and one daughter, Julia, a raro wild wood blossom. Her large black eyes and luxurient tresses, coupled with a captivating manner., that ever car ried sunshino and happiness with it, won the heart- of many of the oppo site sex in that section the lortu nate suitor, however, being a young man named Antoihe betacci, a very forest Apollo: in factthe very sort to win a young girl's heart The Ag nagetta family, were anything but pleased with their daughter's choice, ; and spared no means to break off trie attachment the lovers had lor each other. Entreaties and threats were alike unavailing on Julia ; the former giving her courage to plead for Antoine. the latter making her ding closer to him. "I will never give up Julia," Antoine was used to sav when questioned on the mat ter. i ' : When they foiled all efforts use less, the lauuly resorted .to more violent measures. Gabriel A gnaget- ta met Antoino one day m' tne for est, and a desperate fight ensued, m which both were badly cut and bruised, but in which Gabriel was decidedly worsted. This event stirred up additional bitterness, and for a time threatened to draw oth ers into the quarrel, and eventually result fatally. Julia hought to pour oil on the troubled waters, and her gentle words melted the. hardened natures that evil passions had filled with wrath. There was a reconciliation be tween her brother and lover, and a general rejoicing in consequence re sulted, when an event occurred which changed amity into distrust and suspicion. This was no less an event than the sudden and mysteri ous disappearance of Antoine Set taci. ; He was last seen alive in the for est Ksyond the mountains on the tratk for game, the most rigid search failed to discover him or any traces of his whereabouts.- He had dropped out of sight and life as if the earth had opened and swallow ed him ';p. All sorts of stories were rife. Or j said that he had run away, still another that he was purposely hiding himself and would soon re turn. Bat time went on,- and he neither came nor was heard of. The suspicion that he had met with foul play gained ground rapidly, grow ing into certainty in the .minds of very many persons. Ot course tia briel Agnagetti was accused of the murder, and though he strenuously denied the charge, the evidence was strong enough to warraut bis appre hension. Once in the meshes of the law, it seemed as if a hundred cir cumstances came up, all crying trumpet-tongued, 'guilty.' Various persons had heard him threaten to kill Antoine; that voung man him self said that he did not consider his life safe so long as Gabriel Agna getti remained in tbc neighborhood. Even Gabriel s father admitted re luctantly tht his eon had declared his intention of riddling Antoine with buckshot, while Ernesto cor roborated the parent's statement. The coils of circumstantial evidence closed tighter about the young man and beyond his own assertion there was nothing to be said in refutation. The blow had iallen on Julia wita crushing effect The sudden disap pearance of her lover, the arrest ot her brothar 011 the charge oi mur dering him almost drove her insane. She, however, shared the popular belief that Antoine had been mur dered, and that her brother was guilty of the terrible crime. Urged for her reason tor her beiiet, she to nally admitted that it rested upon the slender foundation of a dream. She added that on the night follow ing the day upon . which Antoine had disappeared she had a dream in which she saw her brother and Antoine engaged in a violent quar rel. The men were in a dark ravine; there was a mountain to the right and a deep, dense forest to the left She heard their words; she saw Ga briel strike Antoine with the butt end of bis rifle and fell him to the cartd. That blow was fatal. An toine never spoke afterward. Ga briel hid the body in a dark cave in the woods, and there it still re mained. This dream made a pow erful impression on the young girl, and though many were disposed to laugh at it, it told tremendously against her brother, and nothing could shake her faith and confidence in its horrible reality. She insisted that it was true, though no traces of the body could be found in . any ol the numerous mountain caves after most rigid search, and the vision rested only on her individual state ment But her faith gave it untold powers; her acts seemed to confirm her belief. From that moment she was a chauged woman, slowly she pined awav. The color faded from her cheeks, giving place to a death like pallor: her step, once light and elastic, became slow and languid ; her eyes had lost their tender glance and sparkled rith an unearthly luster. She uttered no complaint Like the girl who loved the unfortu nato Robert Emmet, she passed to her early grave forgiving all, beloved by every one, the victim of a broken heart Shortly before her death Gabriel Agnagetta broke jail and lied to Texas, his brother Ernesto going into exile with him. This settled all doubt as to his gniltor innocence. Flight was accepted by all as a con fession of guilt Liberal rewards were offered for tho capture of the brothers, Ernesto being considered an accessory to the crkne,but neither was ever aprchended. . From the Lone Star State they WHOLE NO. 1586. went to Louisiana. While in New Orleans Gabriel was protecting a lady from the insults of Bruman. when he was shot by the latter and 1 mortal! v wounded. His assailant escaped arrest and fled the city. He i was subsequently captured and lodg ed in iaiL One morning he was found dead in his cell with bis throat cut from ear to ear. He had found a piece of a soda water bottle in the comer of his cell, and with it ended, as was afterward discovered, a life blackened with crime and profligacy. Gabriel died from the effects of his wound, and Ernesto two days later fell a victim to that dreadful scourge, yellow fe ver. Years later, when the main actors in this strange episode slept in their quiet graves miles apart when in terest in the scenes we have related had almost died away or was recall ed with eye to the hunter's fireside the mystery surrounding the dis appearance of young Antoine was brought to light recently, while a party of hunters were pursuing some game many miles from Hidalgo, they found the re mains of the un fortunate man in a cave in which the animal they were pursuing had established its lair. There was only the ghastly looking skeleton of a man, a rust rifle , and rudely carv ed in the yielded rock upon which it rested were these words : "Lost ; can't find my wav out Antoine SettaccL" That was all, but it told its own story. It solved an enigma that dad darkened many lives. It cleared from the foufstain of mur der, though too late, Gabriel Agna getti and his brother. This is the life history a record which by the way, is authentic, and can be verified by other living wit nessee the desolate father told the writer as he sat in his lonely cabin one evening recently, lhe night wind swept down the deep mount ain gorges with the roar of an angry sea, the stars twinkled camly over head, the howl of the wolf echoed dismally far out in the shadows of tho woods, while the darkness ot the night filled all space. The Way Women Bom a Pillow. Among the recent inventions is a pillow holder. It is explained that the pillow holder is for the purpose of holding a pillow whil s the pillow case is being put on. V' tru?t this new invention will no come into general use, as there ie no sight more beautiful to the eyes ol man than to see a woman bol ' a pillow in her teeth-while shegei y n nip- ulates the nulow case ot . it. e do not say that a woman is beautiful with her mouth full of pillows. No one can ever accuse us of saying that, but there is something home like and old fashioned about it that cannot be replaced by any invention. YV e know that certain over lastidi- ous women have long clamored lor some new method of putting on a pillow case, but these people have either lost their teeth, or the new ones they have bought do not grasp the situation. They have tried sev eral new methods, such as blowing a pillow case up and trying to get the pillow in before the wind got out, and have tried to get a pillow in by rolling up the pillow case until the bottom i." reached, and then placing the pillow on ono end and gently unrolling the pillow case, but all these schemes have their drawbacks. The old style of chewing one end of the pillow, and holding it.the way a retriever dog holds a duck, till the pillow case is on, and then spanking a pillow a couple of times on each side is the best, and it gives thc wo man s jaws about the only rest they get during the day. If any inven tion drives this old custom away from us, and we no more see the matrons of the land with their hair full of feathers and their mouth full of striped bed ticking, we shall feel that one of the dearest of our insti tutions has been ruthlessly torn from us, that the fabric of onr na tional sunremacv ha received a sad blow, and that our liliertien are in danger. The Geek Cburch. The Greek Church hold, in com mon with tne Koman lainonc Church, the doctrine of the seven sacraments, of the sacrifice of the mass, of the veneration of the Vir gin Mary, the saints, images, and relics, of the meritoriousness of fast ing and other works, the heirarchial degrees of ecclesiastical orders, and monaticism. It disowns the author ity of the Pope, and. in controver- ciesof faith, acknowledges the in fallibility of the ecumenical coun cils. At Constantinople baptism b I immersion only is admitted as va id ; but the Russian Church hold baptism by immersion as a matter of rite, not . dogma. The Greek Church administers the Lord's Sup per in both kinds, and gives confir mation and communion to children immediately after they are baptized. It prays for the dead, but denies that the Holy Ghost proceeds frora the Father, as principal, through the Son, as medium ; it admits of no images in relief or embossed work. but uses paintings and engravings in copper and silver ; it approves of the marriage of priests, provided they attain that state before they are admitted into holy orders ; and it condems second marriages of priests and fourth marriages of laymen ; and it keeps four fasts in the year more solemn than the rest, Indulgent parents who allow tht .'r children to eat heartily of high-seasoned food, rich pies, cake Ac., will have to use Hop Bitttcrs to prevent indigestion, sleepless nights, sick ness, pain, and, perhaps death.

It was on the lSth of September, the da? before Early j and Phil fousht their first pitched battle A force of caTalry and in jfantry had that morning tn sent j to capture the Frst brigade of Aver i ill's division at Martinsburg and tare i Sheridan's right Had the move ment been successful, the Lmon position atBerryville would have been rendered somewhat precarious. But the troops which had been en trusted with the. safety of the point were no none guards : they Knew the value of the prize contended for, and were prepared to make the rebs pay dearly for every inch of ground they gained. The charging and counter-charging were disgustingly frequent, and many were the deed of personal daring that transpired as the tide of battle surged from .street to street and out upon the open field. About the middle of the afternoon there came a lull in the struggle, a if each side had stopped "to pant a little" before making son Sual and desperate struggle to crush its ad versary. It was during this inter val of "comparative quiet and inac tivity that the duel referred to took lace. In front, and a little to the eft, of the Union line there was an elevation where once, at the begin ning of the war, perhaps, there had stood a goodly growth of forest treet , which had been cut down and hauled away. The stumps were still standing and afforded good ehelter'to skirmishers. A squad of cavalry belonging to a Pennsylvania regiment was sent to occupy this eminence as a sort of flank guard to the Union line. The rebel sharp shooters at once opened fire upon them and soon made the position untenable for the Union squad, which then moved further off to get out of raagedeaving behind them one of their comrades, whose hone had been wounded by the sharpshooters. The Yank seemed to be in no hurry to leave his unfortunate horse, and was leisurely removing the saddle, bridle, etc., when he noticed a rebel cavalryman approaching with the evident intention of making him prisoner. It was about this stage of the game that the attention of those of us upon the left was called to witness what was transpiring. The Yank took shelter behind a tump, and at once opened fire. His nrst shot killed the reb s horse, and then he, too, got behind a stump. The two men were not more than 200 yards apart, and each of them seemed to realize that he must conquor or die. The Yank placed his hat on top the stump, and im mediately the reb shot it off. Neith er of them could expect to get away until the other was either killed .or badly wounded. Neither could ex pect "to kill or cripple his adversary unless he should make what w s called a close shot, for both men were careful not to expose any more of their person than was absolutely necessary while taking aim. They fired perhaps a half dozen shots apiece, when the reb resorted to a ruse. He remained quiet and inac tive for some moments, carefully concealing every part of his body from the view of his opponent The Union soldier began to suspect that his last shot hod done its work, and growing inquisitive no graauauy raised bis bead above bis little lorti fication to see what had become of the red.' The latter had planned well. His Sharpe's carbine was al ready in position, and when the Yank had exposed his head and ?art of his chest the Johnnie fired, he shot took effect in the Union soldier's cheek, and he fell back ward with a shriek. We saw the reb go to him, lift him up in sitting posture, and help to bathe the ugly wound; then, when he had render ed his fallen foe all possible assist ance, we saw him take up his own gun and trudge off to bis compan ions. He could have been killed or captured, but we had seen his noble conduct toward his unfortunate ad versary, and we regreted his depart ure with a rousing cheer, me Union soldier had a frightful wound, but, I believe, eventually recovered. inUr-Ortan.
