"Why, Aggie, you sua n t do it. They killed a peddler up there 0ua for his money. "Melissa, isn't that what you call 'bogle story ? " "No, sir-eel" chimed in Billy, the stable-boy; "the stage driver always carries pistols. " Well, J've got to go, at any rate,' the. said, turning toward the house "and don't either of you tell. Utese stories to mother for anything." Mr. Haviland waa engaged in liti Ration which might leave him a roil lionaire ot the possessor of very mod erate means. In anticipation of tbe latter result, be prudently resolved to lay the foundation for another fortune bought western lands an J engaged in various enterprises. The Sand Kidge region extends over miles ot country, cutisisting or wooded sandy ridges, with Intervening marshes and occasional opeuiDgr. Game of all sorts was peutiful, but the soil was sup posed to be worthless aud the inhab itacts were bdieved to be there for the u NOVEMBER 23, 1874. purpose ot harboring Dorse-inieves . . i ., and sharing their profits. In one of these sheltered openings Mr. Haviland had built a cottage, planted acres of small fruits and a peach orchard now just coming into bearing, placing all under the charge of a trusty man in his employ. His western interests demanded long and freoueot absences from home, and, having fallen in love with western life he had, in the last year, duiii a pretty house, - and 'brought bis family to Waneta. Had Agnes Haviland understood I the character of part of her route, she would tave looked long tor a messen ger before the would have undertaken the ride) but the gave vary nine thought to the horse-thief stories, hur ried on her trim riding habit of navy blue, perched her little plumed cap over the feathery brown curls with their glint of gold, and gathered up ber long skirt to hasten down stairs, but, on second thought turned back and took from her drawer a little toy of a pocket-pistol with which Bbe sometimes amused herself in firing at a mark. ; ..!.':" In a few moments she was canter ing down tbe Carriuge-way, on her spirited iron-gray, leading her father's glossy chestnut by the bridle, Melissa Briggs protesting to the last. "Have vou stole a hoss? Ooin' to run him off into Iniianny ?" The speaker was old Capt. Billings, and Aggie dashed on, laughing. For a time the ride was delightful. Over smooth roads, past cultivated farms, the horses dashedon abreast, seeming to grow more spirited aud am bitious lor the chase aenjst tne green country in the golden autumn air.. ; But now the dwellings were less and less fpeauent. and by the tune she reached the belts of timber she cou fessed to hersolf a fueling of nervous ness. The sun was getting low, ant) the forest road .looked; lonely.. t?he traversed about two miles ot tbe woods, when the horses sprang aside, startled by the sutldeu apparition of two men, muddy and rough looking, wttn guns. Aggie's heart gave a great leap, and thoroughly frightened, she urged on the horses at a flying pace; but ne men ouly ruised their hats, one of them with easy grace, the other bow iug with all the grace of a Fieuch man. "Ouly hupliirs," thought Agnes, ashamed of her cowardice, "By Jove! Fernand! who would have expected suajIi a vision as that in this wilderness? Bhe must be bound for the plantation we came upon this morning. "No doubt, tnon. onu. "Those were vicious looking scotin drels we saw stealing through the timber a while ago. Suppose we sirike aciots here and see that she passes the creek safely. " Wiz all my heart," respondpd mon sieur. Coming to the little stream, Agnes stopped to let the horses dnuk. It was a pretty place : the shallow water clear and limpid, the banks covered with a close undergrowth ot bushes, a blaze of cardinal flowers iu the marshy tsUu. Tired by rapid riding, she rested" a few minutes, leaning over to watch the tiny fish darting here and there, quite gpoonscious of the ill-looking figure lurking behiud a tree near by, and hiddeu by the bushes. "Ha'u't you stole a hoss, miss?" jtggio started, almost expecting to see Capt. Billings, but beholding a most villainous looking individual instead. "Looks powerfully like it,' he contin ued,, passing his arm through tho chestnut's bridle-reiji and grasping the other. - "You are mistaken, sir," said Agnes, quietly, "I am on my way to my lath er's farm," "Cau't - believe you, my beauty. Reckon I'll have to set you down yer and take tbe bosses." "You will do uo such thiugl" cried Agnes, roused and feerless now, in the face of real danger. "Let go my bridle or I'll fire on you 1" drawing her little revolver. ' "Law J" said the raau, with a grin, confident that she would not fire with out further warnicg. "I shall not hesitate if you don't drop that bridle I" she taid, taking aim. But the words were scarcely spoken when her arm was seized wu'h au ion grip, and another wicked face leered up at her. "Let go, you coward !" cried she. "Pritty good grit," said Le. "Bill, I reckon wo'Jl take the gal along with the beasts." ' " Then a chill like death came over her. There was a sudden rush through the underbrush, and Agnes' captor felt a pistol barrel pressed to bis tem ple. "Let go your hold, this instant, you villain 1" enmmauded its owner; aud let go he did, not daring to stir ; the other turned to flee, but found him- $2 PER ANNUM. self covered by Paul Fcrnand's rifle. "Stop my plaUant f'rieud," taid monsieur, and he complied. Then Agnes disengaged the haltT strans. anil the fellows were secured to the neighboring trepa, in spile of their protestations that it was only a little Hike they didn't mean uothiuc. The Frenchman remained to guard the prisouera, and the haoddome young hunter galloped on with Agnes to the farm-bouse. Mr. Ilaviiand ana a boms of farm hands hurried back I to the scene of ndventuie, only to find poor Monsieur Fernand overwhelmed with chagrin, the prisoners gone,, and the unfortunate naturalist securely und in their stead. A paper was eft fastened to a tree, bearing the classic inscription. "Ketch a wcezel asleep!" "JJcy did vissle, two, three, tunes, laid rporifiieur. "Hey tey dey haf unc dog sotneveres, but while 1 keep eye one on uem, and one to tins wouuair ful creature, like a dry twig wiz legs I was seize from behindhand two fellows tie me aud take my gun, and dey a go every veres Iis vey and Uat vcy, ITelas!" mourned monsieur; "dey vas so easy to be tie. l orn one idiot, should know dey have friends here.

"Papa, I thought) on would surely bring the gentlemen back with you !" 1 his is all my lault, Agnes 7 1 nev er thought, ot your coining up here alone I I took every precaution to keep these things lioni you so that yoo would not borrow trouble about me when I am up here." "Pupa, thev may have saved my life, and I did not even thank them !" "My dear, I suid everything," said her lui her, "but they were fitr from Iheir camp, aud their party is going to Uiove t rtbor ou early in the morning ; they will cull on us, my dear, when tbey pass through Waneta, on their way bom.e," But Agues' thouglils often reverted, that evening, to a handsome lace, lithe, graceful figure, a trick of voice aud manner which would render the luck less beaux of Vj'unei iueipid forever.' The rising moon cast a soft, uiicit taiu light over the hunters' camp, ou a green ridge across the marshes. A grand bonfire was blitzing; there was laughing and justing among the dark figures busied urouud it, aud a savory smell of camp cookery pervading the air. Is there any pleasure iu the world liite camping out in the autumn woods? Can anything compare ' with the slews anj rousts prepurcd over tin camp fire? Is any sleep so sweet us that uudei tin little tent, with the wide tree tops, the hooting owls and distant yelping of prairie wolves for music?

In the year 1794 a poor Frcncb im migrant was passing tho winter in village of Westphalia, in uermany. He was obliged to live with the great est economy in order nut to go beyond his means. Uue coid morning ho hnd . I . a. 1 tl occasion to buv a loan or wooa. ue found a peasant who had one to sell, aud asked the price of it. , The peas ant, who perceived by his broken Uer- man that he was a loretgner, and that bis ignorance might be taken advant age of, answered that the price was tbree loins d ors. The Frenchmau edeavored to beat him down, but in vaiu. The peasant Would abate nothing of his first do mund. . The immigrant, finding it use less to waste words with him, and be ing in pressing uced of tho fuel, at last took it, and paid the money that he was asked for it. . The peasant, delighted to .have so good a bargain, drove with his empty cart to the village inn, which was not fur distant, and ordered breakfast. While it was getting ready be enter tained the landlord with an account of the way ip which he had cheated tbe . Frenchman and made him pay three louis d'ors for a load of wood, which nt the utmost was not worth more than $2 talking as if he had done a clever thing. . But the landlord was a good man, nod feeling justly indignant at the peasant's conduct, told him that ho ought to be ashamed of himself thus to have taken advantage of tho iguorf ance of a poor foreigner. "Well," said the peasant, with a scornful laugh, "the wood was mine. I hud a right to ask just what I pleas ed for it, and nobody has a right to cull my conduct in question." The landlord mae'e no, reply. When breakfast was over tho peasant asked how tnui-li was to pay, Tho landlord repled, "Three louis d'ors." "What!" said the peasant, "three louis dVrs tor a cup nf coffee and a few slices of bread and butter?" - . "Yes," suid tho landlord -with the utmost composure; "the coffee and bread aud buttei were mine; I bavea right to ask just yvhat I please for them. My bill is threo louis d'ore. und I shall keep your luvse and cart until vou pay me. It you llnnii lam charging you too much you can go be fore the Judge. The peasant, without saying any thing more, went to the Judge's office a;id inado his complaint. The judge was surprised and indignaut at the landlord's txtor'ioii, especiully as ho hud always borue au exccilcul cbarac- er. He ordered him to be brought bo- fore him, and his reception of him was somewhat stern. But tho landlord told him the whole story bow the peasant had taken advantage ot tho poor immigrant's ignorance to cheat him, what their conversation was, and how his own conduct was simply visit ing upou the head of a dishonest man the wrong he hud done to another. Under such circumstances tbe Judge decided that the landlord bud done right, and that the peasant should pay tho three louis d'ors. The peasant, with a very ill grace, drew out his purse and laid the money on the table. "I do not want this money," tsjj the landlord to tho Judge, "as your honor may well suppose. Will you have Uie goot'ness to chango ono of these louis d'ors and give the peasant two dollars f it-afor that, as be con fessed ,to nic, is ell thut his wood is worth and return the remainder to the poor Frenchman? For the break fast I want nothing." The Judge was much moved at the words of the good innkeeper. Ho counted out the two dollars to tho peasaut and dismissed him with a se vere rebuke. The rest was returned to tho pour immigrant, who. on huaring the story, went to thunk the kind inn keeper, aud with great ditliculty per suaded him to ac ept a small sum for the peasant's breakfast. "My father was a farmer before me, ami I thank Gcd that I am a fartuer boru." &uch was the soup Porter ex pected to soothe the grangers with on Fourth oJ' July 'last. It remiuded Col. (Jeo.
