Io r. Weatherford and I soon fol- lowed in similar fashion, until safe beyond the circle'of the firefight, when all three rose erect to our feet. We stood for a moment listen- ing backward. We were not Without anxiety lest our retreat might have disturbed the camp; but no sounds reached us safe those to which we had been listeningâ€"- the snore of some sleeping savage, the ‘cropâ€"crop’ oi the browsing horse, or the stamp of a hoof upon the firm turf. SatiSfied that we had passed away unobserved, we started upon the back-track, which the hunters could nut follow like a path well known to them. Dark as it was, we advanced almost in a run, and were progressing rapidly, when our speed was suddenly checked by the report of a gun. Each halted as if shot his tracks. Surprise it was that stopped us, for the report came. not from the Indian camp, but the Op- posite directionâ€"that in which our party had been left. But it could not them who had fired’! in be one of They were 00 great a distanceâ€"â€"or should avc beenâ€"for their guns to have been heard so distinctly.

If so, the shot was most imprudent; it Would be certain to M- REID- put the camp on the qui viva.â€" VVhat had they fired at i It might have been an accidental discharge â€"â€"it must have been. Those conjectures were rapid as thoughts can be; we did not communicate them to one another ; each had them of himself. We had scarcely time to speak to one another, when a second shot rang in our cars. It came from the same direction as the former, appearing almost a repetition; and had there been time to rc-lond, we should have so deemed it.â€" But there had not been time, even for the most accomplished riflcmcn. Two guns, therelorc, had been fired- My companions wcio pt led us well us myself. The tiring was inexplicable under any other hypothcsts than that some lntliuns had strayed from their camp, and were making ‘signals of distress.’ We had no time to reflectâ€"- We could now hear behind us the camp in full alarm, and We knew it was the shots that had caused it. We heard the shouts of menâ€"the uetglnng and hurried trampling of horses. Without pausing longer, we again took to the track, and hastened ou- wurd in the direct-ion of our friends. Further on, we perceived some men on horseback. Two there appeared to heâ€"though in the darkness we were not certain, as their ’forms were scarcely distin- guishable. . They appeared to retreat» as we approached, gliding off like ghosts among the tress. No doubt these were they who had fired the shots ;'thcy were just in the direction whence the reports had come, and at the proper distance. Were they Indians 0r whites? Risking the chance of their being our foes, old. Hickman hailed them. i . We paused to listen. .Thcre was no replyâ€"not even an ex- We could hear, by the hoof-strokes of their horses, that they were hurrying off in a direction altogether different from that either of our friends or fees. 1 There was something mysteri- ous in the behaviour of these two horsemen. For what purpose had they fired their guns? If to sig- nal the camp, why had they re- treated from us as we came for- ward? Why, moreover, had they gone off in a direction that did not lead to the campâ€"since its position was now know to them by the noise of the alarm they had themselves occasioned? , To me, their behavrour was inex- plicable. Hickman appeared to have found some clue to it, and the know- lZZ ledge seemed to produce a singular effect upon him. He exhibited signs of astonishment, mingled with feelings of indignation. ‘Devll swamp iem! the wuth-‘ less skunks, if’t' are them; an’ I’m good as sure- it are.

We had arrived too late; our savage foes had escaped us, and carried offtheir captives from under our very eyes. It was impossible to follow them in the darkness; and, with mor- tified spirits, we advanced into the ,gladc, and took possession of the 'deserted campâ€"determined to re- main therefor the rest of the night, and renew the pursuit in the morning. Our first cure was to quench r come alOng hyar 1’ Following the old hunter’s di- l'CCilOl], we hurried on after him. AN EMPTY CAMP.

We recognised those of our comrades, and hailed them as they came ncnrcr, for we perceived that they \Vcro advancing towards us. rl-ports; and, believing them to procch from our rifles, hnd fancied we were engaged With the Indians, and were now riding up to our nid.‘ ‘Hullow, boys!’ shouted I'llt'li- man as they drew near, is Biill Williams an’ Ned Spence among ye?

Most of the night I spent in pacing to and fro around the the .pond, that lay darkly gleaming in the centre of the open ground. I fancied I found relief in thus were not there, else they would have answered for themselves. ‘thrc are they '2’ ‘Vthrc have they gone to .7‘ were the in- quiries that passed througu the crowd. , ‘ Ay, whnr are they ?’ repeat- cd Hickman. ‘ 'l‘har not hynr, that's plain.

A bold charge into the midst of our enemiesâ€"~21 Volley from our guns, with knives and pistols to close the Conflictâ€"this was the programme that had been hustin agreed upon. We had arrived ncurdhc campâ€"â€" within three hundred yards of it. There was no uncertainty as to the direction. The noises from the camp itself, which had con- tinue-d ever since the first alarm, had served to guide us. ' All at once these noises became hushed; no longer reached us, either the voices of men, or the hur- ricd trampling of horses. In the d:- rcction of the-camp, all was still as death. ' _ We needed no more the guid- ance of sounds ; we were within stght of the fires, or rather of their light, that glittcrcd afar among the trees; with this as our bacon, we continued to advance. We no longer rode rashly for- ward. The change from confused noise to perfect silence had been' so sudden, so abrupt, as to have the effect of making us more cau- tions. The very stillness appeared ominous. We read in ita warnâ€" ing: it rendered us suspicious of an ambuscadeâ€"â€"the more so, that all had heard of the great talents of the ‘red stick chicf’for this very mode of attack. We approached, therefore, With greater prudence. When within a hundred yards of the fires, our party halted.â€" Sevcrnl dismounted, and advanced on foot. These glided from trunk to trunk till they had reached the edge of the opening, and then came back to report. The camp was no longer in ex- istence ; its occupants were gone; Indians. horses, captives, plunder â€"all had disappeared from the ground; the fires alone remained! These bore evidence of being dis- turbed in the‘confusion of the hasty decampmcnt. The red em- bers were strewcd over the ground, their last flames faintly flickering away. The scouts continued to advance among the trees, till they had made the full circuit of the opening. For a hundred yards around it, roving aboutnâ€"it seemed to still the agitation of my spiritâ€"it pre- vented my reflections from becoming too intense. A new regret occupied my thoughtsâ€"I regretted that I had not succeeded in my intention to fire at the chief of the murderers-I re- gretted I had not killed him on the spot : the monster had cscaped,and my sister was now perhaps beyond the power of rosette. I. blamed the hunters for having hindered mc. Had they foreseen the result, they might have acted Otherwise; but it was beyond hu- man foresight to have anticrpate‘l the alarm. The two men who had caused it were again with us. Their con- duct, so singular and mysterious, had given rise to strong suspicions of their loyalty; and their re-appearâ€" {meowâ€"they had joined us while ad- vancing towards the campâ€"had been hailed with an outburst of angry menace. Some even talked of shooting them out of their sad- dles; and this threat would most probably have been carried into ef- fect. had the fellows not suffered a ready explanation. They alleged that they had separated from the troop before it made its last halt-â€" that they knew nothing of the ad- vance of the scouts, or that Indians were “nearâ€"that they had got lost in the woods, and bad fired their guns as signals in hopes that we might answer them. They ac- knowledged having met .three. men afoot, but they fancied them to be Indians and had kept out of their wayâ€"â€"that afterwards seeing the party near, they had recognised and ridden up to it. Most of the men were contented with the explanation. What motive, reasoned they, could the two have in giving an alarm to the enemy? Who could suspect them of rank treason? Not all were satisfied. Iheard old Hickman whisper some sig- nificant words to his comrade, as he glanced towards the estrays, ' Keep yur eye skinned, .Iim, an’ watch the skuns well-â€"â€"thar‘s some- thin’ not hulsomc about ’cm.’ As there was no one who could openly accuse them, they were once more admitted into the ranks ; ind were now among those who were stretched out and sleeping. Thc wretches lay close to the edge of the water. In my rounds [passed them repeatedly ; and in the sombre darkness I could just distinguish their prostrate forms.â€" I regarded them with strange emo- tions, for I shared the suspicious of Hickman and Weatherford. I could scarcely doubt that those fcl~ lows had strayed ofl‘ on purposeâ€"- that, actuated by some foul motive, they had fired their guns to warn the Indians of the approach of our Party, By midnight there was a moon. There was no cloud to in- tercept her beams ; and, after rismg above the tree-tops,she poured down a flood of brilliant light. The sleepers were awakened by the sudden change.

Such .a course would have coincided with my own wishes, but the hunter-guides opposed it.â€" Their reasons were just. In open ground, they could have .liftéd' the trail, but under the timber, the moon’s light would not avail them. True, they could have tracked by torchlight, but this would only be to expose us to an ‘ambuscade of the enemy. , Even to advance by moon- light would be to subject ourselves to a like, danger.. Circumstances had changed. The savages new knew we were after them. In a night-march, the pursued have the advantage of the pursuersâ€"even though the numbers be inferior.â€"- The darkness gives them every fa- cility of effecting either an attack or escape. . - Thus reasoned the guides. No one made opposition to their views, and it was agreed that We should keep the ground till daylight. It was time to change the senti- nels. Those who had slept, now took post; while the relieved guard came in, and flung themselves down to snatch a few hours of rest. . Williams and Spence took their turn with the rest. They were posted on one side of the glade, and next to one another. Hickman and VVeatherford bad fulfilled their tourâ€"as they stretch- ed themselves along the grass, I noticed that they had chosen'a spot near to where the susPected men had been placed. By the moonlight, they must have had a View of the latter. Notwithstanding their recum- bent attitudes, the hunters did not appear to go to sleep. I observed them at intervals. Their heads were close together, and slightly raised above the ground, as if they were whispering to one another. As befOre, I walked round and round. The moonlight enabled me to move more rapidly, and this eased my spirit. Oft-timcs [made the circuit of the little pondâ€"how oft, it would be difficult to deter' mine. My steps were Emechanical. My thoughts had no connection with the physical exertions I was making, and I took no note of howI progressed. After a time there came a' still-' ness over my soul. For a short interval, both my griefs and venge- ful passions seemed to have depart- ed. I lmcw the cause. It wasa mere psychological phenomenonâ€"â€" one of common occurrence. The nerves that were the organs of the peculiar emotions under which I was suffering, had groWn wearied, and' refused any longer to vibrate. l ' porary I calmâ€"«the lull between two bil- lows of the stormâ€"~but during its continuance I was sensible to im- pressions from external objects. I could not help noticing the singularity of the scene around me. The bright moonlight enabled me to note its features somewh minutely, ‘ l household. something but, few understand. There are a thousand ways a wo- man can waste, even if she be one of Margaret Zerne’s “ Betty Fush- eels,” forever overlooking her do- mestic affairs. End pieces of bread stealthily crumbled up and given to the doves "or chickens; pies, sour and mouldy, sharing the same fate ; cake gingerbread, etc., suffered to stand till spoiled, and then sliliy thrown awayâ€"the wasteful house- keeper, no doubt, thinkin herself not to blame; why shoul she be, indeed ! if she could not get it eaten, why of course she must throw it away. Just soâ€"if she could 'not get it eaten she must be excused for wasting it, but there is no necessity for throwing away anything, if the housekeeper knows well how to work up the “ odds and ends.” End pieces of bread and dry hard pieces make good toast. You say that you've no milk perhaps. Very well; good toast can be made of water so that is no excuse. Put a large piece of butter in your toast kettle, dredge a little flour upon it, stirring it as the butter melts, then pour boiling water upon it, constant- ly till the flour has thickened up, and has boiled sufficiently. Have ready your bread nicely toasted, dip each piece into hot water in which a little salt is dissolved, then into your gravy. Let each piece remain long enough to become soft, then place in the toast dish ready for the table. From dry pieces of bread, butter, Salt and water, you get a nice dish of toast. If you are so unfortunate as to have a baking of sour bread, you find you cannot get it. eaten. But few persons will eat sour bread, and many. a loaf has been, and still will be, wasted by the housekeeper not knowing that, by dipping into water in which a little bread soda has been dissolved, and then browning in the oven, and making it into least, it will be eatable. The slices being thin, the soda penetrates them and effect- ually destroys the sourness, and therefore makes bread sweet that was fit for nothing but the pigs and chickens. Cake, gingerbread, doughnuts and every thing of the kind can he crumbled up and put into brown bread, thus saving them and improv- ing the bread. If pics are watched, as they should be. and begin to show signs of growing old, by dipping them into cold water, and baking over again, they will soon be as good as now. So you can, see there is no need of wasting anything, if proper means are taken not to. A man may flatter himselfthat he has a very coonomical, wife in fact a perfect model ; but, alas! how few men know of the wastefulness ofthe It is the little things a woman must take care of, in order to be truly economical.

This one was circular -â€"-about fifty yards in diameterâ€"â€" and with the peculiarity of having a pond in its midst. The pond, which was only a few yards in circumfer- ence, was also a circle, perfectly cocentric with the glade itself. It was one of those singular natural basins found throughout the penin- sula, and appearing as if scooped out by mechanic art. Itwas deeply sunk in the earth, and filled with water till within three feet of its rim. The water was cool and clear, and under the moonbeams, shone with a silvery effulgcnce. Of the glade itself, nothing more â€"â€"except that it was covered with sweet-smelling flowersâ€"â€"that, now crushed under the hoofs of horses, and the heels of men, gave forth a double fragrance. It was a pretty parterre, and un- der happier circumstances, I should have esteemed it a picture pleasant to contemplate.
