Intending, also, to contribute a sweet chapter in words of two syllables to a "Second Reader," and wishing to tell the whole of the gay truth with pictures drawn on the spot, he:paid us a visit. Ile found us grinding scythes, and we propeoied the scene for a steel-cut," or a lithograph.

We took the other popii tiol, and our string of' "'tunnies" were in evidence next morning at breakfast. Nat, having extricated himself from a state of moisture, and invented a trap to catch a whipporwill, read to mt. in the attic, his cantos on hay-making. We suspended our opinion, thinking perhaps be wenild change his own before a week. Nat: was bent on seeing the sun rise, and very early (iu the morning; if I recollect right I) we strolled up to Enticiel Pais take • view from his garden. The sturdy joker invited Nat. to be seated on a stump, which he said he was reserving for the next smooth candidate for office. The sun was rising brilliant. He stretched a wing out over the prairie, and brushed the glittering dew from grass and grain, and the other press ed on our eyelids, dipping the tip in the waters of Rustic Lake. Nat. was sitting with pencil and Sketilh-Book, his eye with a fine frenzy rolling. Charming! Bout tiful How extensive the view! Splendid landscape! Just cows enough to make it look natural! and the mowers shaving up a swathe, and starting up a purple cloud grand! How merry the morning music ! The plaintive *cooing of the prakkochicken made it pathetic! Exquisite! even the • wling of a boisterous calf could not dis- • Late it. Rusting elf the sun with one hand he brushed away the winged intro ders with the other. Thought they were a little pesky—rather too thick to allow of sketching—rather buriiliar—quite disposed to probe through one's clothes and to aim at the eyes—never had seen mosquitoes as large as bees before—nor with such beauti ful yellow wings—nor quite so sharp! We stood back a little. Ezekiel thought that Nat. would only confuse his notion of the ndseape by moving! Nat. had only one objection to rural life, and that was bisects.

Supposing that the shoe had been unskillfully put on at the inn. he stopped at a blacksmith's shop, near the foot. of the ridge and had the Wrse's foot examined. After diligent scrutiny, the workman said that the lameness was not produced by the shoe, which was properly adjusted and fastened to the hoof. At the request of Mr. Stogdon, gae smith examined all the shoee, but could find no cause for lameness in the fit or make of any one of the . His quick eye, however, detected a rin of ruffled or lifted hair running 'emus one of thilkind legs of the horse, just above the fctiocic. Raising the hair he observed that tip fle s h was bloody and much swollen. On juore careful ex amination he discovered that a small cord of silk had been tied so tightly around the leg that it had cut into the flesh. producing inflammation of the part and doubtless, also the lameness of the horse. The discovery at onee excited the sup pirion of the workman, who was both lion ise :mil shri•will. (*ailing the attention of the traveler to the cord which he speedily detached from the log of the hors•, he ex pressed his apprehension that foul play of some sort was meditated.

Carefully re-loading and testing the reliability of his pistols, he bade adieu - to his honest eounseior, :AN' s uitably ere. warding him for his labor and advice, and rode off. • The morning was already far advaneed when he began to ascend the mountain.— The road for w•yeral miles wound along its southern side. midway between the base and the summit. The prospect was grand sod beautiful hey - ond his most sanguine anticipations. To the right the moue in sank (loan by degree., abrupt or rept*, to the margin of the champaign country below, which stretched out as far as the eye could reach. and was covered with to 'baceo farms, earn fields, dwellings, and all the diversified 'objects peculiar to a Vir ginia landscape. Oil the left the Blue Ridge rose np like a mighty arch spring ing to meet and support the sky, exhibit ing in rich profusion all the grand and most of the beautiful features of mountain eoenerv. Delighted with the scene, and absorbed with the emotions which it inspired, Mr. Stogdon rode slowly forward, recalling only occasionally, ar.id only for a moment, the suspicions excited by the events of the morning. After running for nearly five miles along the side of the mountain, the road, by an abrupt turn, struck toward the summit, through a deep gorge whose rag ged sides slanted upward to great bights on either hand. Shut out from the prospect of the sub jacent country, and hemmed in by steep aa~cli~ pries, Mr. Stogdon reverted more fre quently to the mysterious developments which had come to light at. the black smith's shop, and became both,alert and cautious in his movements. ,Arranging his pistols so that they could le ea .sity withdrawn from the holsters, he urged his horse to a quicker pace as soon as he en tered the gloomy avenue of the narrow gorge.

Checking the pace of his horse, therefore, he rode slowly forward and entered the narrow pass. lie had. scarcely reached the mid dle of the defile, which was about twenty yards in length, when two men rushed from behind the further side of the bould er into the road, and stood with leveled only a few yards distant from Mr. guns. His horse, frightened at the sudden appearanoe of the men, whose blackened and shaggy clothes -made them look hideous enough to startle both ,rider and steed, shied and refused to go forward. • The robbers advanced and demanded the purse and valuablikit of the traveler, premising to spare his life if he would sus them without noise arreedstance.— • About making any reply, Mr. Stogdon quickly drew forth a pistol from the hol ster.

Stogdon was in the act of turning his horse's head toward the road, when he caught, through the branches of the tree in front of him, theglimpse of • man running . rapidly up the side of the gorge, some distance further up the defile. As pursuit on horseback up the steep ao. clivity was imuselsible, he remained in his position and watched, as well as he could, the movements of the retreating which he ha 4 no doubt was that f cr i t l a fugitive robber.; Climbing from crag to crag the robiper stopped at length in front of two ledge* of rock which projected from the mountain a few feet apart. thus making an entrance or as-way into the side of the defile. He looked earnestly for a moment in the di rection he bad come, and then entering between the rocks disappeared from the sight of the traveler. Convinced that be had discovered the den of the robbers, Mr. Stogdon at once decided to return to the black *, th's shop at the base of the mountain. ami formation to the neighborhood.* Making a careful ocular exploration of the sur rounding scenery, and fixing in his mind as many objects as he could, which might serve to identify the spot where he robber had disappeared, he turned his horse's head, and soon reached the narrow pass in thtl main road. The body of the dead rob ber lay as it fell, with the blood puddled cround it. Forcing his horse with diffigul tpy to pass it, he rode with a rapid page, and soon reached the shop, where be fouggd several of the neighboringplanters and the smith still busy with speculation upon the mysterious developments which the latter had witnessed in the morning. Mr: Stogdou related to his eager and wondering listeners his adventure in the mountain, the death of one robber, and the probable discovery of the place of re treat of perhaps many more. In a few hours the news spread through the neigh borhood, and brought together a company of forty or fifty Men at the shop. It was decided, without a dissenting 'voice, to as cend the mountain and deem the den of robbers. thins, axes, dogs and convey wee were soon provided, and the line of march epeesWy commenced. The cavalcade, moving with celerity and in silence, soon reached the spot where the robber still lay.

The suspicions of the ,neighborhood, long entertained. as to his character, were now completely confirmed. lie was the confederate of a band of rob bers, and his hotel was an outpost, where plans were concocted and the select ed victims disarmed and sent helpless to be robbed and murdered in the moun tain. The body was placed upon a baggage' cart and sent, with proper explanations, in the care of a servant, to the handy at die hotel. So secretly had his connection with the robbers bet ii maintained that the re turn of the corpse and the developments which followed, were the first intimation which his wife and children had of his crim inal associations. After the brief delay occasioned by the examination and removal of the body of the robber, the company proceeded, under the direction of Mr. Stogdon, along the lateral gorge towards the place where the confederate robber bad disappeared be tween the projecting ledges of rock. At a point opposite the supposed cave they dismounted, and, securing their horses among ths bushes began to climb up the steep accliVity. In a few moments, arri ving by different routes, the men and dogs were all assembled at the designated point. The evidence of human inhabitancy were uninistakable. The ground immediately . in front cf the rocks was trodden and bard. Worn paths itmnehed off in several diree tions from the spot. The entrance, a nar row passage between the twe projecting rocks, ran inwardly, and the aretue ex cept forar feet at the opening, was Clark land en t iieTr'impenetrable to the eye. It led evidently into a cave or subterranean shel ,ter of some sort, which the company pre pared at once to explore. Dry branches of trees and dead under. roe t k were gathered, tied into bundles, lighted with tire kindled by flint and tin der. With - theft; for torches, six of the more resolute men entered the opening be tween the rocks, with the view of explo ring the interior to which it led. The pas sage was so narrow that only two could walk abreast. Two men in front bore torch es, as did the two in the rear. The middle couple carried muskets heavily charged. As they advanced the passage rapidly widened, and the roof sprang up to a great height irwerhesd. They had gpne shoat twenty ;paces from the entrance" when a blaze o light, accompanied by - the almost simultaneous reltrt of firearms, flasluid forth l'rtint, I,'diatant interior point Of the cave. The two melt in front fell to the earth. ' Discharging their muaketa in the direction of the flash, the other retreated from the cave, dragging their fallen com panions after them, one of whom was se riously wounded and the other entirely dead. Enraged at the spectacle of blood, the besiegers began more resolutely the . work of assault upon the work, for such it was now ascertained to be, and of considerable dimensions too. An effort was made to in duce the digs to enter. The moth resolute advanced afew paces, and then ran in apparent alarm. The majority stood at the entrance and barked, but could not be enticed, by wordttor blows, to go further. AnothOr expedient was tried. A large tree was cut down and riven into bolts of considerable length and thickness. A dos row of these timbers were placed u • t across the entrance passage; some twenty feet from the opening, and securely wedged and braced, so as toform a power: fal barricade or wall. The powder in all the horns and flasks, except a few rOtmda reserved in each, was poured in a pile on the ground near to the upright timbers.— Another barricade, similar to the inner one, wall constructed infront and close to the powder, a train being first laid from the pile, throu gh a notch in the timbers, to the ogler edge of the barricade. A line.of dry hooves was formed, extending from the powder several feet outside the entrance.
