"Who can it be!"
"Some ono from town

comnlished skater in tho same snot whero ' sudden crash. Ho felt tho ice beneath
he had just beheld it tbo inBtant before.
muttered Jack.
, I reckon. At all
events, I'll run down and havo a nearer
look at him."
And, suitjng tlio action to tho word, ho
struck out Icieurly down tho river.
A fow yards below tho point at which
the form seen by Jack.was gliding nboift,
the liver took a bend, and narrowed sud
denly, running for more than three miles
between lofty, overhanging banks, from
which the trees, chiefly hemlock and pine
projected themselves towards cacti other
from cither shore, throwing the stream in
to deep fhadow, with hero and thero a
baud of light, where a few trees had been
cut down, or hud fallen away from the
bank with the gradual wash of the soil
from their gnarled roots.
To Jack's astonishment, no sooner was
ho fairly untlor weight for tho mysterious
skater than the latter, apparently seeing
and divining Irs intontion,suddcnly ceased
his gyrations, and after an instant's pause'
swiftly hot down tho river, keeping close
in shore, and .evidently with tho design ol
eyatling Jack's pursuit.
'-'Ho, ho '."said Jaok to himself, half
aloud. "That's your game, is it ? V.ery

Fortunately,, tho river was not very
deep at tbii pcint, nor was tho current at
all rapid,and in another moment Jack was
struggling manfully among tho broken ioo
to reach tho firm edge of the airholo.
But, encumbered as ho was by his hoavy
clothing, aptl-iioarly paralyzed by the
intense cold of tho wator, it is more than
doubtful whether ho would havo succeed
ed in rescuing himself from a horrible
death ! Help, however, was at hand I
The phantom had hoard tho shriek and
seen Jack dltsappct'r, and, swift as a swal
low's flight, it sped to tho rescue. Ou the
very c,dgo of tbo air-holo it halted, and,
rapidly tearing off a longpashmero soarf,
with which its throat and shoulders .wore
protected, planted its tkatCB firmly ath
wartwiso on the i co, and flung the end of
the ecarf,with skilful aim,right into Jack's
face, crying at the same time, in a clear,
sweet voico
"Hold hard, Jack, and never foar!
Now for it !"
That voico gavo Jack new life. ABud
den glow seemed to gather round his
heart, and to start the warm blood afresh
through all his sliffering frame. He
caught tho .scarf in his teeth, and then,

Jack's heart hounded fiercely, for ho

his power of speed and endurance, and,
with a dosperato effort, ho shot, almost
with the speed of light, sraight out across

a hugo black follow travelling merrily
along with no load but bis spoar or war
club, while his unfortunato leubra is pant
ing under tho weight of their' goods and
chattels, which eho is compelled lo oarry
from camp to c'smp. Courtship, as the
precursor to marriago, is unknown among
them. When a young warrior is desirous
of procuring a wife, ho generally obtains
0110 by giving in exchange for her a sistcx-
or somo other femalo Telative of his own;
but if there should happen to be no eligi
ble damsel difcngagcd in tho tribe to
which he belongs, then ho hovers round
the encampment of tonic other black until
ho gets an opportunity of seizing 0110 of
their leubras, whom porhaps ho has seen
and admired in attending one of the grand
corroborries. Ilia modo of paying his
addresses is simple and efficacious. With
a blow of his nulla nulla (war club,) ho
stuns tho object ol his "affections," and
drags her insensible body away to somo
retired spot, when as soon as she recovers
her senses, he brings hei home to his own
gunyah in triumph. Sometimes two join
in an expedition for the same purpose,and
then for several days they watch tho move
ments of their intended victims, using the
utmost in concealing their presence.
When they have obtained tho knowledge
they require, they wait for a dark, windy
night; then quite naked, and carrying
only their "jag spears," they crawl steal;
thily through the buh until they reach
tho immediate vicinity of the camp fires,
in front of which tho girls they aro in
search of aro sleeping. Slowly and silen
tly thoy creep closo enough to distinguish
the figure of pne of Jhpsc leubras'; then
one of tho intruders stretches out his spear,
and inserts the barbed point among her
thick flowing lock, turning the spear
slowly round ; then with a sudden jerk,
sho is aroused from her slumber, and tfi
her eyes open, she feels the sharp point of
another pressed against her tnroa,t. She
neither faints nor screams,; she knows
well that the slightest attempt at escape or

The next morning, howovr, Jack was

A mono other incidents of tho Sherman
campaign through Goorgia, the following
discreditable story is told of somo of tho
western soldiers. A foraging party vis

pleasant pastime of strangling chickens
and bayoneting hogs. Finding a fine
flock of sheep they "went for thorn," as tho
boys 6ay, when the rebel owner camo out

that they had killed tho fatted shcop, and
proposed to dino upon it. Said they:
