Hastings from offering his services towards ascertaining the position and condi tion of the king's troops, then quartered in Canada.—lle was a brave and handsome young officer, warmly attached to the American cause, and willing to sacrifice his life, if need be, for the good of his countryman who were fighting for liberty and the right. lie was fully aware of the risk he in curred—nor was he ignorant of alb fate awaiting him should he be suspected and taken. By means of various disguises he had reconnoitered pretty thoroughly, and had acquired much information of an important nature. He had about re solved to return to the American camp and report himself to the commander•in chief, when the following incident strengthened his determination. While walking along ono day, musing upon the exditing events which were then transpiring, he was met by ono of the common soldiers who stopped to speak. Tho man looked animated, and seemed pleased with his thoughts. ‘ Halloo, comrade I' he cried, ' you'r going the wrong way.' I guess not,' replied Hastings, care essly Well I s'pose you know best; but you'd better go back to camp with me. I'm going to get a description of the chap thats been playing the spy,' added the man familiarly. What about him? its all news to me,' replied the Colonel, unconcernedly though his pulse beat a little quicker at the man's language ; but he had long exercised a severe government over the play of his features, and not a muscle expressed surprise. You must be deaf, then, for every body is talking about him to-day,' con tinued the other. His name is Tom Jar, and he's been skulking around here, listening to what the officers say, pumping thii men, and trying to find out whatthe next move is to be. But they've smelt a rat. There's a bounty offered for his head, and he's as good as a dead man.' ' Good enough for him P exclaimed the Colonel, who still maintained the same indifferent demeanor. ' His life isn't worth much that's a fact. But I say, comrade,' 1.0 added, slapping, the soldier familiarly on the sholder, isn't banging a ° little too good for the .rascal?' The:inau replied with a course laugh and an oath, and then- 'Passed on his way, leaving Hastings in no enviable' state of imidd--Hud the fellow been acquainted. With Wilt detection would have been in evitable. He (Hastings) had left the barracks early that morning, noticing nothing unusual; but probably- 'his ab eience, added to other oireumetade'6;" had ;,.• . •/."'"- (~ e ,:::-.- - . 7N ~..---, - IP v , ily awakened suspicion. Not a moment was to be lost; his life depended upon instant concealment, a flight at that hour (it be ing about four in the afternoon) would be attended with extreme danger. The soldier would hear a description of his person, toll his story, the alarm would be given, and a score of enemies be imme diately on his track. The - young officer hastily entered a thick growth of trees near by, and look ed about for some place of refuge. lie could discover nothing which offered the slightest protection but a large brush-heap, but as no better refuge could be found, ho concealed himself as well as possible beneath it. He heard the tramp of horses' feet and the voices of men, in a very short time, which was a very good reason for concluding that he had not secreted him self a minute too soon. They passed the spot where he lay without halting, and Hastings breathed more freely when the echo of their shouts was lost/in the dis- EEM Time dragged on slowly. The ground was extremely cold and damp from the effects of a recent rain, and added to the unpleasantness of his situation. He dared not stir, for fear of attracting the attention of some person who might be lurking in the vicinity, and his stiffened limbs began to pain him considerably. For several days he had not been well, and he felt that he was rapidly becoming worse Cold chills ran over him, his head was hot and ached badly, and a gen eral languor pervaded his whole system. What should he do ? lt was not quite dark, but unfoqunatehy for-him the moon shone brightly, and he feared being seen if he attempted leaving his present po sition. St) for two more long hours he lay there, benumbed with cold, and grow ing so much worse that ho feared, with out assistance, he would die. But if it was dangerous to go, it was equally dan gerous to remain. To be hanged for a spy was not a very pleasant idea to con template, and ho groaned at the thought of dying there alone. At this moment he remembered hav ing Seen a small cabin at a short distance. lie would seek it, throw himself upon the mercy of the inmates, and beg assis7 tance and protection. He pushed aside the brush cautiously and after glancing from side to side hur riedly, crept a little way upon his feet, and then gradually raised himself to an upright position. This was not accom plished without severe effort; his limbs were weak and cramped, and he tottered as he walked. llis head felt so light and dizzy that it was some minutes before he could recollect in what direction the cabin was situated; but his mind became some what clearer at length, and he moved slowly forward. Suffering much bodily pain, and wear ily dragging one foot after the other, ho saw a light twinkling in the ,distance, which indicated the proximity of the loW ly dwelling. He did not know whether the occupants wore whips or tories; but he trusted in Providence and wont for ward more hopefully. He approached the cabin, but pausod at hearing the sound of voices. Taking a few more noiseless steps be was enabled to glance through a rude window, and perceived two men and two women sitt ing within. The young officer was about to knock at the door, when the word spy' reached his ears, causing him to forego his intention, and listen to bear HIM ' I am quite confident we shall succeed, said one The reward is worth trying fo•, at any rate,' returned the other. 'What will be done with him if ho should bo captured ?' asked the youngest of the two females. 'No matter said the older of the two men, abruptly. 'They won't be likely to let him go a gain,' added his companion, with a signi ficant shrug of the shoulders. 'He'll be treated as spies usually, are, probably,' remarked the middle aged wo man who had not yet spoken. The younger shuddered and looked thoughtful. wish this unnatural war Was ended, it so brutalizes the human character,' she said, earnestly, after a pause. 'The sooner the rebels aro conquered the quicker it will be ended,' said one of the men, 'so you see it is our duty to catch this spy, who is said to be very cunning and useful in his way. He can't be a great distance off, and as soon as we got rested we must take to the woods and hunt him down.' The other gave his hearty consent. To. gether both men loft the cabin and passed so near to our hero, that by raising their hands they might haVo touched him ; but the darkness, which had succeeded the moon's departure favored him, and he re mained undiscovered. Waiting until he could no longer hear the footsteps nor voices of the retreating figures, he stopped softly to the door 'and tapped. Tbo latch was raised, and , a voice de manded, 'Who's there ?r . ‘A friend ; ono, at least..who has not the pewer to injuteeyou,' was.the reply. The'door opened wider, and the pale, hugger/ foe of the applioaat was birpea• Carlisle, Pa., Friday, February 16, 1866: ed to the woman, who scrutinized him steadily and closely.

You can save me or deliver me into the bands of your hus band, or those who have gone in pursuit of me. The mother and daughter exchanged glances, but neither spoke, and Hastings anxiously awaited the decision of his fate. The woman who had opened the door now signified by a motion of the hand that he should enter. Ile did so, and a seat was placed for him beside the 'daughter, whose sympathies were obviously enlisted. She glanced sympathizingly at his deject ed countenance, and noted his faltering steps and limbs trembling with weakness. ' We can give you food, but our pro tection will avail but little after my hus band's return,' said the woman. ' Can you conceal me?' asked Hast inks, earnestly. Heaven will reward you for the deed I' The mother looked at her daughter, and the two conversed together in a low MEI ' We will do what we can,' said the for mer, briefly, as she placed refreshments before him and signified to him to eat. ' Do not stop to talk, she added, quick ly, as the young officer endeavored to ex press his gratitude. ' There is no time to lose, and food will do you more good than anything else.' Hastings did not wait for a second bid ding, and the nutritious beverage soon had the effect to renew his strength and in spire fresh courage. his head felt less giddy, the cheerfui fire warmed his stiff ened limbs, and he would certainly have fallen 'asleep in his chair had not a feel'og of dread lest the men should suddenly return, caused him to look often anxiously toward the window. ' They will be gone two hours,' said the youngest female, as if to reassure him on that point. Hastings signified his thanks, and look ed at the fair speaker so attentively that a crimson glow stole over her expressive countenance, making her look more in teresting than before. Ile forgot, for the moment, himself, his illness, the danger he had incurred, the risk he now ran, ev erything in contemplating her symmet rical figure, regularity of features, and the benevolent kindness that beamed from her eyes. He was startled from his rev ery by the barking of a dog. "You are lost!" she exclaimed• Father is near by ! Hastings started to his feet and looked hurriedly about for some mode of egress besides the door by which he had entered. The young girl shook her head, and her cheek turned pale with terror.— Itastings knew that discovery was inevit able if he remained where he was, and that the result would be equally fatal if he ventured to leave the cabin. The young girl stood a minute as if spell-bound, when the voices came near er and nearer. Suddenly she sprang towards a door which opened into a dark closet. "Go in !" she whispered, 'and secrete yourself behind those clothes. The officer mechanically obeyed, and the door was quickly closed, and fastened upon him, while his delivereik, with un common selfpossession, placed herself in the chair he had just vacated, and drew; up to the small table on which food had been placed, and very deliberately com menced eating. She bad hardly done so when her father and his companion entered the cabin, both looking somewhat ill-humored and disappointed. "What are you up and eating for Hot tie?" asked -the former abruptly, regard ing the young girl with a look of aston ishment and displeasure. 'Because I'm hungry,' was the unhes- itating reply. 'Well, and so aro we hungry, girl ; so get something quick, for we've got to ride a dozen miles yet ; that is if the fel low don't disappoint us again. Confound him 1 we might have been on the right track by this time if the horses had been forthcoming,' he muttered, as Hettie (as he called her) busied herself in placing eatables before them, as she had been bidden. While this had been transpiring the mother had silently left the cabin, entered an out-building, and was preparing a comfortable place in which to conceal Hastings before her husband's return ; and this will account for her absence when his proximity had been so oppor tunely discovered by the young, girl. While the men were satisfying the demands of petite she ontered,but started back in alarm at perceiving what a change--in affairs the last tiftden minutes bad wrought. Hetttie caught her eye, and a warning glance checked the ex clammation, that/ etas on, her, lipa r and re called her usual presence of=mind': P-she said,-interrogatively- ap proaching the table. "We've had to wait for horses, hnd the rased give us • the slip ,if me, don't. "ride for dear life,". retorted her' hiebaud moodily,.. say,- Ben,' ho addded with an imOtient gesture, 'hav'nt you almost done eating?' "Just finished,' replied Ben, pushing back his chair and buttoning his coatA 'l'm ready' "We'll go then as soon as I get another hat," and he approached the closet that contained the object of their solicitude and , pursuit. The speaker stepped in, and commenced searching for the article ho bad named. The reader can imagine the sensations of our hero, as ho crouched behind a pile of bedding, trembling lest a sudden movement of the man should expose his person. Ho was certain that his heart beat loud enough to be heard—and" when he felt the clothes move before him he gave up all for lost The emotions of the young girl was none the less intense. Her face assumed an ashy hue, her feet seemed glued to the floor, and her breath almost stopped as her eye marked each emotion of her father• As be advanced near the corner where she knew Hastings stood she placed her hands before her eyes and sank into a chair. But discovery did not ensue. The hat was found at length, and when Hettie raised her eyes she breathed more freely. Her father stood without the closet,whilo his companion was assuring him that if much more time was wasted they might as well give up the undertaking. "Where is he?" inquired the women, when the men had gone. "In there," replied the daughter,. pointing to the closet. "It was providence indeed!" was the fervent ejaculation of the mother, as she comprehended his narrow escape. No time was lost in conducting llas tings to the out building we have named It was entered but seldom, little used, and being so near the rendezvouo of the king's troops would not be likely to bo subjected to a very thorough seal ch by his enemies, who probably believed him much farther off. In this place he remained several days, receiving the best of care from both mother and daughter, who visited him as often as they could without attracting observation. When his strength had partly returned, and he was able to travel his generous protectors furnished him with a suitable disguise and by means of the husband's absence were enabled to assist him a considerable distance upon his journey Ile encountered many dif ficulties and dangers, and felt himself far from secure until he had passed the British lines and knew he had nothing more to fear. 13ut he did not forget the maiden whose prompt action saved his life.— After the dose of the war ho met her again under more auspicious eircumstan oes, and plesant acquaintance terminated in happy marriage. Making..up a Paper. One of the singular characteristics of humanity is a partial or complete obvi ousness on the part of each individual, as to those matters about which others are employed. The butcher has little thought as to how his cattle are raised and made fat, the farmer but little thought as to what rrocess his fat cattle or fine wool are put through after he has received a good price for them.... • , So ,ef, other trades and callings, except at rare intervals,ctich one has enough in mind to be engaged about his own without speculation of gath ering information as to others. It is necessarily so. A rich jiucy, and tender roast of beef would relish but illy, if manifested during a vivid vision of the farmer's care and the butcher's cruelty. A newspaper would hardly add to the relish of the coffee and roast in the morn. ng, or give added flavor to the cup tha "exhilarates but not intoxicates," in the evening if we read with a realizing view of the nimble fingers putting to their places letter after letter during the hours that others devote to sleep. So of every thing else almost. But we have often thought how uni versal the ignorance as to the editor's labors in malting up each number of his journal. Most people never give them a thought, except occasionally to utter some words of grudging praise, or much more frequently, to grumble and complain.— There is no mor9 common idea, than that the selections are made at random,simply to fill space. Hence people volunteer something to "fill up," as though ,thereby they were helping. Yet a half an editor never selects an article or an item, except on deliberation; and an idea to a desired purpose and as the result of a settled plan. True, sometimes when the cry of "copy" is furious, he may be careless—as who is not ? or may misjudge on the spur of the moment, What is true of the selections, is true of every line written. However hastily and rapidly the editor may be compelled to write, all his words aro weighed, and all his articles deliberated upon. Much of his deliberation is peculiar, a sort of Adiosyncracy cf the` real and careful, as can be proved at any time when the no vice takes up the pen_and runs the ma chine, A slap !dash, raw hand M set in as localizer, with . evory item of news—a , eight,a 'Ecorse race, a run'away-l—or a mere Mention, ivould - have whipping tt a • threatened, get an indignant note, or of fend a dozen while be pleased one.— Even for a "puff" the words must be chosen and weighed, or the deuce will be to pay in short order. But we cannot elaberate. It strikes us that newspaper readers have got to be numerous; "everybody takes the papers" —that the popular idea in regard to "making up" ought to be exploded shortly. They are in fact made up much as the Japanese and Chinese mechanics work in their 50 to 150 different pieces of wood into the cover of a single small box—with infinite care. Just as we feel like declaring deadly hostility to a family where we see books put to holding up windows, &c., so wo feel towards those who never so much as think or care what labor, what thought, what weary waiting and watching, what weighing and estimating, what hopes for general good, each single paper costs an editor. Yet for it all, of all others, his labors aro still in the main, lightest es teemed, and ho is subjected to all un charitableness, never applied to any other class. But as the whilom, unfortunate "pedagogue," is being transformed in these last days into and honorable and well esteemed worker, taking rank with recognized professions, so we except in the good time coming, when newspapers readers know what it costs to "make a newspaper," even editors will be lifted up in the popular estimation, and if they are faithful ones, rant at those who write poor novels and produce tales of "blood" and thunder, "raw heads and bloody bones, for order.—Erehmiye- A Hundred Years Since how melancholy the contemplation, when one allows the mind to wander back through the dim vista of by gone days, a hundrLd years ago.• But if this is mel ancholy, how unutterably so when we suf fer the imagination to launch out into the mazy depths of the undiscovered fti ture, " a hundred years hence," What solemn thoughts are suggested !

Pain racks the brow of the rich man as well as that of the beggar, and then the palatial residence will be exchanged for a darkened cham ber six feet by two of mother earth, while the diadem flashing upon the brow of royalty, and the gems blazing upon the breast, will be exchanged for no other or naments than the winding sheet of death.

Then what matters our petty strifes and conten tions, our jealousies and heart turnings, our hopes and fears, our joys and sorrows?

What matters the plot that now works our ru in and misery, or the the pangs of unre quited love borne by the breaking, bleed ing heart, amid the taunts, the jeers and scoffs of envious enemies, with no friend- ly bosom nigh whereon to lay the head and find syMpathy and comfort in the hour of grief and woe ? What matters it that we have trusted and been deeeiv ed ; that we have built up bright visions of hope, but to see through tears of woe their brightness fade away ?

He died at the age of seventy. A.Jady of culture, refinement and un usual powers of observation and compari son, became a widow. Reduced from affluence to poverty, with a large family of small children dependent on her man ual labor for daily food, she made a va riety of experiments to ascertain what articles could be purchased for the least money, and would at the same time " go the farthest," by keeping her children longest from crying for something to eat. She soon discovered that when they ate buckwheat cakes and molasses, the};were quiet for a longer time than after eating any other kind of food. A distinguished Judge of the United States Court observed that when he took buckwheat cakes for breakfast, he could sit on a bench the whole day without being uncomfortable hungry, if the cakes were omitted, be felt obliged to take a lunch about noon. Buckwheat cakes are a universal favorite at the win ter breakfast table, and scientific investi gation and analysis has shown that they abound in the heat forming prinsiple; hence nature takes away our appetite for them in summer. During the Irish famine, when many died of hunger, the poor were found spending their last shilling for tea, to - - bacco and spirits. It has also been often observed in New York, by those connect- PA with ch.rituttle Institutions, that when monoy was paid to the poor, they often laid out every cent in tea or coffee, in stead of procuring the more substantial food, such as meal or flour and potatoes. On being reproved for their apparent cx travagance, and improvidence, the cry universally was in both Oases identical ; their own observation had shown theM that a penny's worth of tea, tobacco or liquor, would keep off the sense of hun ger longer than a penny's worth of any thing else. Scientific men express the idea by saying; " Tea, like alcohol, re tards, the metamorphosis of the tissues ; in other words, it gives fuel to the flame of life, and thus prevents it from con suming the fat and flesh of the body." If a person gets into the habit of tak ing a lunch between the breakfast and dinner, he will soon find himself getting faint about the regular luncheon time, but let him be so pressed with important engagements for several days in success ion as to take nothing between meals, it will not be long before he can dispense with his lunch altogether. These things seem to show that, to a certain e±tent, eat ing is a mere habit. Whole tribes u Indian hunters and trappers have been known to eat but once in twenty•four hours, and that at night.—/Mrs ./otirma A CHRISTMAS TALE.—There once dwelt in what is now a famous city, nut a mile lrom Boston, an opulent widow lady, who once afforded a queer illustra tion of that cold compound of incompa tibles called " human nature." It was a Christmas eve, during one of those old-fashioned winters which were so bitter cold. The old lady put on an extra shawl, and as she hugged her spiv• ering frame she said to her faithful no- gro servant: " It's a terrible cold night Scip. I am afraid my poor neighbor, Widow Green must, be suffering. Take the wheelbarrow, Scip ; fill it full of wood ; pile an a good load ; and tell the poor woman to keep herself warm and comfor table. But before you go, Scip, put some more wood on the fire, and make me a nice mugrof flip." These last orders were duly obeyed; and the old lady was thoro ughly *armed, inside and out. And now the trusty Sciplo was about to depart on his errand of mercy, when his considerate mistress interposed again : "Stop Scip. You need not go now. The Itealher has 'moderated !" ROMANTIC COURTSIIIP.-r gave her a rose and gave her a ring, and asked her to marry me then, but she sent them all bank, the insensible thing, and said she'd no notion of men. I told her I'd oceans of money and goods, and tried to fright her with a growl ; but she answered she wasn't brought up in the woods to be seared by the, screech of an owl. I galled her a beggar and everything bad; I slighted her features and form ; till at length I succeeded in getting her mad, and she raged like a ship in a storm. And then in a moment. I turned and smiled, and called her my angel and all; sl:ke fell into my_ arms like_ a wearisome child. and . exclaimed : " We will marry this fall." —A farmer . , passing through a village, stabbed n dog,' whb attacked him, with his pitch-fork.

Dew-Drops of Wisdom The affections of a woman aro too sa cred to be trifled with, those of a man aro more easily alienated. A bankrupt in one place, he - speculates in another ; but a woman in bestowing her heart, gives us the fee-simple of her affections, and in giving us what cannot be given twice over, she gives us that which gold with all its power is unable to supply.
