Set. loasalle, our college chum, had
written a poem on hay-making, and had
persuaded himself that it was the merriest
and gayest of all frolics. 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. After the warm shower at lour
o'clock we got our fishing tackle., stepped
into ~Moonlight," and the the gathered

t real partiee, called the Hooks and Kolibri
jaws, lie took the latter potation. and in
proof a captious bass jerked the rod from
him, and in his sudden grasp for it, ho
went overboard to pursue his investigations
in fislidom itself. 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.
Could get used to them he thought—was
not afraid! and as the:amusement was he
mming irresistible to us, and maw exPen

short descriptions. They are more easily
etunyed than described. Any apparent
stinginess is regarded as an unspeakable
meanness. Cold ham, shoulders of lamb,
chicken pot-pie. new potatoes, green corn,
pecks of peas, apple dumplings, pickled
plums, rice puddings, jams, jellies, ginger
beer, and hot coffee. along with the wit of
two or three clever fellows, well tanned in
the sunshine of life, make a feast of fat
things which would give the gout to princes

quite lame when he reached the base of
the mountain. 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

the traveler to the cord which he speedily
detached from the log of the hors•, he ex
pressed his apprehension that foul play of

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.
He had gone about smile when he saw.
some fifty yards ahead of him, a large
boulder or earthy ridge, shooting nearly
across the avenue, and leaving only a spaee*
broad enough for the road bed, between
its edge and the steep side of the gorge.—
ft was a stop favoraldw_ for an attack by
surprise, ana Mr. Stogdon surmised at once
that if one was meditated upon him it
would be made at that point. 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

Having made up his mind to abandon
the pursuit, Yr. 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 *,

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 • coating be

the night before. 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.
