It was in tbe wilds of Wiasahicon on
the day of tbe battle, as the uoonday sun
came tbioiik-b the thick cluttered leavea
that two men met in deadly conflict near
the reef which roae, like some .primeval
world, at least a tliouaund feet above, -the
dark watcra of the Wiasahicou.
The man with dark brown face, grey
eyea flashing with, deadly light, and a
mnscuiar toim, clad in blue tioca ni the
Revolution, is a continental named War
ren. The other long black hair, drooping
along hi cadaverous face, is clad in the
hf"m1Htry eoitrfirm rrf a tory refugee
I hit it a murderer of 1 aoh, named 1 i m-
They met by accident, and now they
fought, not with aword or rifle, but with
long and deadly hunting knift they strug
gled, twining und twitting on the green
sward.
At last tbe tory it down - down on the
tint - tin- upraised knife flashed death in
hit face.
'Quarter ! I yield !" gntped the lory,
a the knife waa preated on hia breast.
' "Spire me, I yield I"
"My brother," said the patriot, in a
tone of deadly hate : ,-My brother cried
for quarter on the nipht of Paoli; even as
he clung to your knee you struck that
deadly knife into his ln-ait. I will give
you the quarter of Paoli."
And hit hand was raised for, the blow,
and his teeth were clenched with deadly
haste ; lie paused for a moment, and ihen
piujfilied I he hoy's nun-, and with a rap
id stride, drugged him to the verge of the
rock, and held him quiver tug over the
abyss.
"Mercy !" gasped the Tory, turning
ashy pale by turn, at theawfuyawning
below. "Mercy I have a wile and child
at home spare me !"
The Continental, with muscular strength
gathered for the effort, shook the Hordeier
once more over the abyss, and then hissed
hit bitter tneer in the fare.
"My brother had a wife and two chil
dren. The morning after the night at
Paolt, that wife was a wiJow ; those chil
dren fatherless. Ask mercy from them !"
The proposal made by the Continental
in mockery and bitter hate, a-as taken in
to serious earnest by the terror stricken
Tory, He begged to be taken to the
widow and her children, and to have the
privilege of begging for his life. Another
moment of serious thought and the patriot
soldier consented.
He bound the Tory's arm still tighter,
placed him on his feet, and led him thro'
the woods. A quiet cottage embossed
among the treei), broke on their, eyes.
They entered the cottage. There beside
the desolate hearthstone, sat the widow
and her children.
She sat thet-o, a matronly woman of
about twenty-eight years, with a face fa
ded by care ; a deep, dark eye and long
black hair hanging in a dishswtofed state
about her shoulders. On onelajde was a
datk hatred boy of six years, dime other
side a girl one year younger, with light
blue eyes. The Bible an old and- ven
erable volume--lay open upon the moth
er's knee, and tbe pale faced Tory ftnng
himself on his knees and confessed 4hat
be had aa ordered her hnsband on the night
of Paoli, and begged hit life at her hands.
"Spare me for the sake of my wife and
childrcu T"
He bad expected the pitiful moan would
touch the widow' heart : but one relent
ing gleam softened her face.
" Hie Lord shall judge between ua," she
said in a cold icy tone, that troee the mur
derei'o heart, "Look, the Bible is in my
lap. I will close the volume, and let my
little son place his finger at random upon
a Baa, and by that you ahull live or die."
Thia was a strange proposal, made in
good Villi, of a mad and dark superatition
of olden timet. For a moment the Tory,
pre aa ashes, was tn deep thought th'-L
iu a' faint voice, be signified hia consent.
Raising her eyea to beaven, tbe mother
little girl opened the Bible aa it lay upon
her mother's knee. 8he larned her face
away and placed her little finger upon a
line.
The awful silence grows deeper. The
deep drawn breath of tbe broken, and the
broken giasp of tbe murderer, alone dlt
mrbed the stillness. Tbe widow and dark
haired bay are breathless. The little
girl, as the caught the feeling of awe from
those around her, stood breathless, her
face turned aside, and her tiny fingers
resting on the line of life or death.
At last gathering courage the widow
bent her eyea upon the page and read. It
was from the New Testament .
"Love your enemies !"
"Oh f lUk of terrible majesty and child
like love of sublimity that crushes the
heart with rapture, it never shown more
ttrougly tbau there in that lonely hut of
tVissahtcon, when it saw the murderer s
heart.
Now, look how wonderful are tbe wars
of Heaven. That very uight, as the
widow sat by her fireside sat there with
a crushed heart and hot eyelids, thinking
of her hu&hond, who had lay on the dren
ched soil of Paoli, there was u tap at the
door. She opeued it, and that husband
living, though covered with wounds, was

before Mr. Skinner's son eon Id say a

laugh, drew outa knife and cat the child's

waeaee the sound came, aad saw a peas
ant dragging a wounded Bavarian, who
was lying on tbe ground, toward a horn
ing house. A woman was so far aiding
that she continued kicking the poor crea
ture in the aide with her heavy shoes.
Tbe heart rending cry of the wretched
man had drawn three of hi comrade to
the spot, '."hoot her down ; no, bang
her.' Two shots rang out, tbe peasant
dropped. The Megasra laughed, and be

cleft her skull 'Hang her up, into the

in conclusion :
