Montrpal July. J. E. H. OCEOLA: â€"_ A ROMANCEâ€"BY CAPT. M. REID. ( Continued.) A CIRCULAR CONFLICT. Around the glade stood tall trees in a ring, as regularly as if they had been planted; and, be- yond these, as far as the eye could penetrate the depths of the forest, were others of like size and aspect. The trunks of all were nearly of one thicknessâ€"few of them reach- ing a diameter of two feet, but all rising to the height of many yards without leaf or branch, They grew somewhat densely over the ground, but in daylight the eye might have ranged .to a considerable distance through the intervalsâ€"for there was no underwood, save the low dwarf palmetto, to interrupt the View. The trunks were straight, and almost cylindrical as palms; and they might have been mistaken for trees of this order, had it not been for their large heads of leaves terminating in a cone-shaped sum- mit. They were not palms : they were pines -â€"‘ broom‘ pinesâ€"a species of tree with which I was perfectly familiar, having ridden many hundreds of miles shaded by the pendant fascicles of their acicu- lar foliage. . The sight of these trees, there- fore, Would have created no cu.- riosi'ty, had I not noticed in their appearance something peculiar.â€" Instead of the deep green which should have been exhibited by their long dr00ping leaves, they appeared of a brownish yellow. Was it fancy? or was it the deceptive light of the moon that caused this apparent change in their natural colour? One or the other, soliloquised I. on first noticing them; but. as I continued to gaze, I perceived that I was in error. Neither my own fancy nor the moon’s rays were at fault. The foliage was really of the hue it appeared to be. In drawing nearer to them, I observed that the leaves were withered. though still adhering to the treesâ€"I noticed, moreover, that the trunks were dry and dead-likeâ€"the bark scaled or scaling off-«that the trees, in short, were dead. I now remembered what Hick- man had stated while groping for the direction. That was at some distance off; but, as far asI could see, the woods presented the same .dun color. Icame to the conclu- sion that the whole forest was dead. The inference Was correct, and the explanation easy. The sphinx had been at work. The whole for- test was dead. p and we prepared to start without it. The dawn was of only a few minutes’ duration; and, as the sky continued to brighten. prepara- tions were made for SIZII‘IlIlg,--- The sentries were called lnâ€"ull ex- cept four, who Were prudently left to the last minute to watch in different directions; the horses were unpicketed, and bridledâ€"they had worn their saddles all night-â€" and the guns of the party were carefully reprimed or cappedâ€".â€" Many of my comrades were old campaigners, and cveiy precaution was taken that might influence our success in a conflict. it was ex- pected that before noon we should Come up with the savage band, or track it home to its lair. In either case, we should have a fight, and once more all declared their deter- mination to go forward. ing bridles, and stirrups striking against their flanks. Most of them dashed past us; and. scampering off through the trees, were either caught by the savages, or having broken past them, escaped into the Woods beyond. We made no attempt to ‘head’ them. The bullets were hurling past our cars. It would have been Certain death to have stepped aside from the trunks that sheltered us. The advantage of the position we had gained was apparent at a single glance. Fortunate it was that our last sentries had been so tai‘dily relieved. Had these been called in a moment sooner, the sur- prise would have been complete-â€" The Indians would have advanced to the very edge of the opening. be- fore uttering their war-crv or firing a shot, and we should have been at A few minutes Were spent in arranging the order of our march. It was deemed prudent that some of the more skilled of the men should go forward as scouts on foot, and thoroughly explore the woods in advance of the main body. This would secure us from any sudden attack, in case the enemy had formed an ambuscade, The old hunters were once more to act as trackers, and of course lead the van. L , These arrangements were com- pleted, and we were on the point, of starting. The men had mounted their horscsu-thc scouts were al: ready entering the edge of the timber; when all on a sudden sc- veral shots were heard, and at the same time the alarm-cries of the sei‘itrics who had fired them. These had not yet been called in ; and the four had discharged their pieces al- most simultaneously. The woods appeared to ring with a hundred echoes. But they were not echoesâ€"they were real reports of rifles and musketry ; and the shrill war-cry that accom- panied them was easily distinguish- cd above the shouting of our own men. The Indians were upon us. Upon us, or, to speak less figur- atively. around us. The tour sen- tries had fired, therefore each had seen Indians in his own direction. But it needed not this to guide us to the conclusion that we were surrounded. From all sides came the fierce yells of the foe,as if echo- ing one another, and their bullets whistled past us in different direc- tions. Beyond doubt, the glade was encompassed within their lines. Their first volley had but little effect. Two or three men were hit, and as many horses; but the balls were weak, and did but trifling harm, From where they had fired, our position was beyond the ‘carry’ of their guns, and 8 cut bullets were seen plashing dead upon the pond. Had they crept a little nearer, before deliver- ing their fire, the execution would have been tearful, clumped together as we were within the opening. Fortunately, our staunch guards had perceived their approach, and in good time given the alarm. It had saved us. Thess are after-thoughts, At that crisis, no one paused to re- flect. The nature of the attack was apparent to all of us; it was a ‘surround,’ and the best mode oft meeting it was our only thought. There was a momentary confu- sion with much nmseâ€"the shout- ing of men, mingled with the neigh- ing and prancing of horses; but above the din was heard the guiding voice of Hickman. ‘Ofl~ 0’ yer bosses, fellers!’ an’ take to the trees. Down wi’ ye, quick! To the trees, an’ keep ’em back! or by the tarnal airthquake, every mother’s son 0’ us ’11 git sculped! To the trees lâ€"to the trees I’ The same idea had already sug- at a time. their mercy. They would have been under cover of the timber, and perfectly protected from our guns, while we in the open ground must haVe fallen before their fire. But for the wel'-timcd alarm, they might have massacred us all. Disposed as we now were, our antagonists had not much advant- age, The trunks of the trees in- trenchcd us both. Only the con- cave side of our line Was exposed, an:l the enemy might fire at it across the glade. Our men were not slow in return- ing the enemy’s fire. Again the voice of the old hun- ter rang over the glade. Cool, calm, and clear, it was heard by every one. ‘Mind yer hind-sights, boys! and shoot sure. Don’twaste ne’er a grain o’ yer powder. Ye’ll need the hul on’t afore we’ve done wi’ the cussed niggers. Don’t a one 0’ ye pull trigger till ye've drawed a bead on a redskin’s eye.’ These injunctions were full of significance. Hitherto, the of chnger 6hands’ had been firing had for antagonists no less than the aimle- somewhat rccklessly~-dischargiug. their pieces as soon as loaded, and only wounding the trunks of the trees. It was to stay this proceedâ€" ing that Hickman had spoken. His words produced the desired efl'ect. The reports became less, frequent, but the triumphant chest" that betokened a ‘liit’ was heard as often as ever. In a few minutes after the first burst of the battle, the conflict assumed altogether a new aspect. At intervals rang out the ‘ Yo- ho-chee,” uttered by some warrior- chicf to stimulate his braves to the attack. The shots were no longer in volleys, but single, or two and three Every shot was fired with an aim; and it was only when: that aim proved trueâ€"~or he who] fired it believed it soâ€"â€"thas Voices were heard on either side. Each individual was too much occupied in looking for an object for his aim, to waste time in~ idle words or shouts. A DEAD SHOT BY JAKE. For two hours this singularl conflict was continued, any material change in the dispo- sition of the combatants. Now and then an odd man might be seen darting from tree to tree with a velocity as if projected from a howitzerâ€"his object, either to find a trunk that would afford better cover to his own body, or a ‘point that would uncover the bodyâ€"or a portion.of itâ€"â€"-of some marked antagonist. The trunks were barely thick enough to screen us. Some re- mained on their feet, using the pre- caution to make themselves as ‘small’ as possible, by standing rigidly erect, and keeping their bodies care- fully alligned. Others, perceiving that the pines bulged a little at the roots, had thrown themselves flat upon their faces, and in this gesth itself to others; and be- attitude continued to load and fire. fore the hunter had ceased calling The two hours had passed. and done it.

His comrades feared, that in dragging it way, they might expose themselves to that terrible rifle. After a time, the Indians be- gun to practise a chapter of tac- tics, which proved that, in this mode of warfare, they were our superiors. Instead of one, two of them would place themselves be- hind a tree, or two trees that stood close together ; and as soon as one fired, the other was ready to take aim. Of course, the man at whom the first shot had been discharged â€"fancving his 'visâ€"a-vis now carried an empty gunâ€"would be less care- ful about his person, and likely enough to expose it. Such proved to be the caseâ€"â€" for before the bit of craft was discovered, several of our Inc“ I l pursuing had been joined by an- Not less than a hundred were now upon the ground, and had been so from But for this. accession, they would» hardly have dared to attack us; and but forour knowing it, we should have other as numerous as itself. the beginning of the fight. charged them at once, and tried the chances of a hand-to-hand conflict. But we saw that they far out- numbered us, and we were content to act on the defensive to hold jour position. ' They appeared satisfied with theirs-.nthough by closing rapidly inwards, they could have over- pmvcrcd us with numbers. After all. their ranks would have been thinned before reaching our line, and some of their best men would have fallen. No men calcu- late such chances more carefully than Indians; and perhaps none are inferior to them in charging a foe that is intrcucned.

There was one instance, in which the savages were paid back in their own coin. Black Jake and I were partners in this re'vanc/Ie. i We were sheltered by two] trees almost close together, and three savages, who had been all the morning most active in firing at us. I had received one of their bullets through the sleeve of my coat, and Jake had the dandruff driven out of his wool ; but neither of us had been wounded. During the contest, I had got sight upon one, and fancied I had spilled his I could not be certain. how- ever, as the thrcc were well covered” behind a clump of trees, and hid- den by a thicket of dwarf pal- incttocs. One of these Indians, Jake wish- ed particularly to kill. He was a, tall savageâ€"and much larger than. either of the others. He wore a headâ€"dress of king-vulture plumes," and was otherwise distinguished by his costume. In all probability. he was a chief. What was most peculiar in his appearance was his faceâ€"for we saw it at at intervals. though only for an instant at a time. It was covered all over with a scarlet pigmentâ€"vermillion it appearedâ€"rand shone through the trees like a counterpart of the sun. It was not this, however, that had rendered the Indians an ’ the cause was different, The sav- age had noticed Jake’s colour, and, had taunted him with it Stjvci‘til‘ times during the fray. He spoke in his native tongue, but Jake com- prehended it well enough. He was spitedeâ€"exasperatedâ€"and vow- ed vengeance against the scarlet. chief. I contrived to give him an oppor- tunity. Cunningly adjusting my cap, so that it appeared to con- tain my head, Icaused it to pro- trude a little around the trunk of the tree. It was an old and well-known ruse, but for all that, in Jake’s phraseology, it 'fooled’ the Indians. The red face appeared above the palmettoes. A puff of smoke rose from below it. The cap was jerked out of my hand ; I heard the report ofthe shot that had fires afar off in the woodsâ€"-â€"no doubt with the design of cooking their breakfast. There was not a man among us who did not envy them their pc- cupation. , To us, the partial armistice. was of no advantage: we dared not stir from the trees. We were athirst, and water within sight-â€" the pond glittering in the centre of Better there had been none, since we dared not approach it ; it only served to tantalise us. The Indians were seen to eat, without leaving their lines. A few waited on the rest, bringing them food from the fires. Women were observed passing backward and forward, almost within range of ourguns. We were, all of us, hungry as faniishcd wolves. We had been twenty-four hours without tasting foodâ€"even longer than thatâ€"and the sight of our enemies, feasting before our very faces, gave a keener edge to our appetites, reviving at the same time our anger and cha- grin. They even taunted us on our starving cOIidition. Old Hickman had grown fu- rious; he was heard to declare that lie ‘ war hungry enough to eat a raw Indycn, if he kudonly jist git his teeth upon one ;’ and he looked fierce enough to have car- ried out the threat.

This warning will apply also to many other kindred places ofresort ; to the gaming saloon, the ball room, the theatre, and the house ofshame. You may not be able to spend every evening at home, and some of you may have no homes. You may of- ten find it profitable to spend your evenings in the house of prayer. You may often, leave your own doors, and with a clean conscience too, to visit the public meeting, or the lecture room, where popular ad- dresses are delivered. One night, the debating club may invite you ; on another evening the music class may afford you at once a healthful recreation, and a new sourie of de- light. But even these should not occupy all your evenings. If‘you have a quiet. well ordered home or anything that deserves the name of home, then there is the place for the majority of your leisure hours. It is not good to be in pub- lic, “ in society” (as the phrase is) too much. A good home is the place for a noble soul to eigpand in etc cultivate domestic feelings, to enlarge the kindly sympathies, to avoid temptations, and to prepare for the duties and the perils of after life. If youhave a home, stick to it. Do not give it up for the club ofsmokers and swearcrs, for the drinking circle or the card table, for every trifling entertainment got up by traveling mouutcbaiiks. Never hear the clock strike twelve away from home.
