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 in her anu II bad fallen in Paoli but not 1 He wus alive and bit, wafe' panting on hit bosom.

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 fore tbe soldier had gone three Steps for ward she stood once more beside her vic tim. The woman must be road. One blow cleft her skull 'Hang her up, into the tire With the brute.' While the soldiers gave vent to their evidently outraged foot ings I stooped down to tbe ill-used sol dier. He waa dead.

A lawyer was defending a haiidtome young wnmanj accused of stealing from a Urge, unoccupied d well ling in the night time, and thus he spoke in conclusion : "Gentlemen of the Jury, I am done When I gaze with enraptured eyes upon corpse ! Over $10,0011 was discovered, which was presented to the poor-house and other charitable insiitutlons. Tbe uvint will never be furgoiten by our citi zeus. The child is tlowly recovering.

The Jury acquitted ber without leav ing their seats in editor, who Mankind. An editor, who Believes with Pope, that "the proper study of man kind is man," sums up tbe result of his investigation as follows : ' . , "Wo drink, every one of aa, a pair of boot a year !
