adopted towards others, our duty bringing

Day was just breaking a3 I awoko from

thought I had discovered tho runaway
Delia restored hor to tho srms of tho
distracted Archer, and was receiving his
grateful thanks, when, as I operled my
oyes, I discovered a young lad shaking me
byitho shouldor. ,,
I sprang to my feet and asked him what
ho wanted. Ho was an cficminato looking
littln fellow with curly brown hair, and the
prettiest blue eyes I ever saw. H is smooth
forehoad looked careworn, and there was
an expression of deep sorrow upon his i
youtinui fjec.
'Whore is Captain Archer 1' he said, in
answer to my torrogation,
'Yonder,' i replied, pointing with my
sword towards tho ' forlorn hopo,' which
was forming for the attack.
1 Can I speak to him!' ho inquired.
Hcforc I could answer, the word was
given to advance. ,
'After tho battle,' I cried, as I hurried
forward to tako my place in the advancing
co'umn.
J.That will. ha. ,.loo late I' I heard bim
scream, as I hurried away.
Tho assault was over. The remnant of
tho forlorn hope' was gathered around a
tawo in tlio castle or the Dishop, which
was covered with flasks of rrencrous wino.
Archer and myself were tho only officers
surviving, liy my side stood tho boy, who

preparations secretly, and left homo in

Nothinc daunted at tho lencth of tho iour

Fanny retired early, being somewhat fa
tigued with travel. George smoked his
cigar for an hour or two, aud dreamed of
his bachelorhood, wo suppose, and finally
requested to be st'own to his room. An
obsequious waiter came, with candlo in
hand and asked what number it was.
With the lady who came with me, re
plied Gcorgo.
The waiter smiled, hesitated, and then
approarhed an exquisitely dressed clerk,

With the lady who arrived hero with

The clerk smiled, and shook his head,

"Won't do, why, I only want to go to

Simplicity of Euglisli Dross.
In the families of many of the nobility
and gentry of England, possessing an
annua income which of itself would bo an
ample fortuno, there is greater economy of
dres, and more simplicity in the furnishing
of the dwelling than there is in many of tho
bouses of our citizens, who arc barely able
to supply tho wants of their families by tho
ob'scst attention lo their business. A friend enemies, tho Sioux, on a war-party, filed

"Only Have Faith."
A friendly correspondent, writing from
, Washington, Pa., says :
1 Liko most other small towns, we havo
hero a "colored church," where many
' arousing things aro said, highly cxhileratinj
; to tho spirits of tho few who occasionally
visit our"IIaytt" meeting-house. "Hayti''
is tho name given to that part of our town
where "pussons of color'
reside. One
winter evening, when tho colored preacher
was in the midst of his sermon, making a
most violont, if not eloquent appeal to his
hearers, one of the legs of the stove, which
had been loosened in somo way, fell o'ut,
and as a natural consequcuco, the red-hot
stovo tipped over at an angle alarming
suggestive of fire. Tlio audience, of course,
commenced crowding out of the door Ilka
a flock of black sheep. But the preacher
was equal to the occasion. Addressing
ono of his prominent members, he cried
out.
"Pick up the stobo Biubbcr Bolah !
piok up do stobe do Lor' won't let him
burn you 1 Only hab faith !"
Pojr brother Bolah had unfortunately
too much faith, and immediately seizod it,
all glowing as it was ; but no sooner had
his fingers touched with the fervent iron,
than he dropped it again, and dancing
around on one foot, blowing his skinless
fingers, he exclaimed with all the energy he
could throw into his voice :
" Do h 1 he won't ! do h 1 he won't 1"
