A soldier, who had won imporisha blo fniuo oa tho battlo-tields of bis country was oonfroutod by a gaunt sirnugor clad all in black and wearing un itnnonctrablo mask. "Who aro you tbat you daro to block my wayr" domandod tho sol dier. Tlion tho stranger threw asldo his mask and tho soldier know that ho was Death. "Havo you como for moP" askod tho soldier.

And with thoso words Death seized upou tho soldior and strovo to boar him henoo, but tho soldior strugglod so desporately that ho prevailod against Doalh, and tiio utrango phantom de parted alone.

And tho soldier know it, too, and many a time ho paused in his writing and laid his pon ttsido and bowod his head upon his liuuds, and strovo for oonsolation in the thought of the groat famo ho had already won. So when Death oamo a noooud time ho found tho soldier weak and trembling and omnoiated. "it would bo vain for you to strug gle with mo now," said Doath. "My poison Is in your veins, and soo, my . dew is ou your brow. But you aro a bravo man and I will not bear you with mo till you have askod ono favor, which 1 will grant." "Give iuo an hour to ask tho favor," said tho soldior.

"I have made my choice," said the soldior. "The books?" askod Doath with a .soornful smllo. "No, not them," ?.jild tho soldier, "but my llttlo girl?my Nelllel Give ?me a lease of life till 1 havo hold her In those arms, and thon oomo for mo and 1 will go!" 1 lion Doath's hideous aspeot was ohanffotlt his storn features relaxodnnd ? look of pity oamo upon them.

' Thon tho 6hip loapod forward in hor pathway, aud tho waves were very still, and tho winds kopt whispering: "Speed on, O ship," til! at last iho ship was cotno to port and tho littlo girl was claspod in tho soldier's ariua. Thon for a soason tho soldier seemed quito himself again, and people said: "Ho will livo," aud then prayod that ho might. But thoir hopes aud pray ors woro vain. Death's soal was on tho soldior and thoro was no rolcase. Tho last days of the soldier's lifo woro tho most beautiful of all?but what a mockory of ambition aud fame, and all tho grand protontious things of lifo thoy wore! Thoy woro tho triumph of a human heart, aud what is hotter or purer or swootor than that? No thought of tho hundred battlo fields upon which his valor had shown conspicuous camo to tho soldier now ? nor tho ocho of his otorual fame?nor ovon yet tho murmurs of a sorrowing people. Nellie was by his sido, aud his hungry, fainting heart fed ou her dear lovo aud his soul wont back with hor to the yoars long agono. Away boyond tho western horizou upon tho prairie stands a little homo ovor which tho vinos trail. All about it is tho tall, waving grass, and over yondor is tho swalo with a legion of ohattoring black-birds perohod on its swaying roods and rushos. Bright wild flowers bloom on ovory sido, tho quail whistles ou tho pasturo fonco, and from his homo in tho chimney cornor tho crickot bogins to chirrup an echo to tho lonely bird's call. In this little Erairio homo we soo a man holding on is kneo a littlo girl, who is tolling him of hor play as ho smooths hor fair curls or strokos hor tiny velvet hands; or porhaps sho is singing him one of her baby songs, or asking him strange quostions of the groat wido world that is new to her; or perhaps ho binds tho wild flowors sho has brought into a lit tlo nosegay for hor now gingham dross, or?but we boo it all, aud so, too, does tho soldior, and so doos Nollio, and so they hoar tho black-bird's twitter and tho quail's shrill call and tho cricket's faint ooho, and all about them is tho sweet subtle, holy fragranco of mom ory. And so at last whon Doath camo and the soldier fell asloep forovor, Nollio, his littlo girl, was holding his hands by tho smile that rostod on his faco whon ho was dead you might havo thought the soldior was droaming of a time whon Nollio prattlod on his knoo and bado him weavn tho wild flowers in her ourls.

It was now docidod to mako direot and immediate application for the pur chuso flNand iu the territory north west of tho Ohio rirer, and as on agent to nogotiato with Congress tho assooi atos chose ono of thoir own nurubor, tho Rev. M:\nasxch Cutlor. pastor of a litllo Congregational church in tiio hatnlot of Ipswich (now Ilaiuiltou). Massachusetts. The company could have employed :io bettor man thau Dr. Cutlor. In tho primo of lifo. forty-live yeurs of age, lie was, perhaps, second ?u general ge nius and culture to uo living Ameri can, except Franklin, and his name possossod a prestige in tho li'.ornrv and scientific circles of Boston, Now York, and Philadelphia. Sinco his gradua tion from Yale, twootv-two years be fore, ho had studiod and ta^n do^reo9 in tho threo learned profession . .iivin ity, law, and medicine. His education was ono of unusual solidity, aud the versatility of his genius was attosted by tho fact that in addition to his cler ical dutios ho had writtou upon iuo toorology, astrouotny, and botany. His strength was rondurod readily cf fcctivo by tho possession of a koon in sight into human nature aud of a court ly graco of conversation. Ho was further qualifiod for tho duty ho was to undertako by his doop sympathy with tho Rovolutibuury soldiers. Ho had boon among them as chaplain through two campaigns. Had Dr. Cutler gono forth as tho ambassador of a poworful nation, his mission could not have boon tnoro vast ly important than it was iu his capaci city as agont for this fooblo, struggling colonization sooioty, nor could it nave domandod more consummate tact Ho journoyed in humble stylo iu his ono horso shay or gig, and thoro was nothing in tho appoaranco of tho quiot, com fortable, dignitied Now England par son, leisurely jogging along tho coun try roads of Massachusetts and Con necticut, suggostivo of tho mighty iu Uuonco ho was to oxort in moulding tho futuro of tho West aud of the ua tiou. Ho loft his homo in tho latter part of Jimo, preached in two towns (Lynn, Massachusetts, and Middle town, Couuocticut), whore ho lurried for Sunday rost, and arrived in Now York, where tho Continental Congress was then in session, on July 5, "by tho road," he chronicles, "that enters tho Bowery." Ho put up hi9 horse ,4at tho sign of tho 'Plow aud tho Harrow* iu the Bowery barns." Tho work which this man was to perform in Congross was twofold. Ho sought to purchase a largo tract of publio land at the most advantageous torms posBiblo, and to procure such legislation for tho territory as would bo satisfactory to thoso iutondiug immi gration to it. Tho purchase would have boon almost ontiroly valueless, in tho mluds of a majority of tho Ohio Company associates, if llioy could not havo it clothod with tho laws to which they woro acoustomod. They wer.e ftl moit to a man tolly in aooord jjritk jtbo njiiiu miuAmMP-fWHV nude Jit prohibited slavory in Massachusetts. TIjus it oarao about that the prospect ive purchase was used as a powerful lovor to effect tho formation aud pass ago of tho ordlnanco of 1787, or as it is commonly callod, tho Ordiuanco of Freedom. The details of tho plau by which Dr. Cutlor accomplished hi9 dual object would fill a voluiuo. In brief, ho used ovory argumout, ovory olemont of personal persuasion, ovory art of diplomacy, which oould havo an offoct in his favor. Ho picturod tho noods of tho bravo mou who sought to mako tho purchaso aud tho debt of gralitudo tho nation owed them. Ho urged as an important consider ation tho roveuuo which would accrue to tho government from tho salo, and from othors which would probably quiokly follow. Thoro was at this timo a strong fooliug of disaffection in Kentucky, and immediate danger that that torrltory would ombraco tlio first opportunity to join her fortunos with Spain. Tho planting beyond tho Ohio of a strong colony of mon whoso pa triotism was unquestioned, Dr. Cutlor arguod, would bo a measure woll oal ouiatod to bind tho Wost to tho East and promoto union. Virginia and the South generally woro intonsoly patriot ic, and it is probablo that this consid eration was of groat importance in the opinion of thoir dologatos in congross, and lod thorn not only to favor com paratively oasy torms of salo to tho Ohio Company, but to permit tho on aotmont of such an ordinanco as that body of mon dosirod. Up to this tlmo ovory ordlnanoo for tho govornmont of tho Northwost Torritory containing an antislavory olauso had boon votod down, and ovon tho inoporatlvo ordi nance of 1784, of whioh Thomas Jeffor son was tho author, had bofore its pass ago boon shorn of its artlolo prohibit ing slavery aflor tho yoar 1800. Tho oruinanoe before oongress whon Dr. Cutlor arrived in Now York contained no restriction of slavory whatever. Still, it had come down to tho 9th of July, and passod its socond reading. Upon that day was appointed a new oommltteo, whioh was prouared to au thorlzo to proparo and submit a plan of govornmont for tho Federal torrl tory, and four days lator, upon tho 13th of July, tho rosult of thoir labors, tho Ordinanco of Froodora, passed. Tho committoo had sont a draft of tho ordinanoo to Dr. Cutlor, "with leave to mako romarks and proposo amend ments, and ho found afterward that tho amendments suggostod by him wore all raado, oxoopt one (relation to taxa tlon), whioh was bettor qualiUod.

An Ancctlnle of Mndlion. A lottor published in the Washington Posl gives un interesting account of a journey mado by Andrew Jackson'# secretary of stato from Washington to James Madison's e9tato of "Moutpoller" noar Orango Court-Houso, Va. Aftor an uncomfortable day and night ride in an old-fashioned Virginia stago coach ovor heavy roads, Mr. Living ston arrived at Montpellor at 1 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Madison was arousoifand tho socrotary of stale was shown to his chambor. Tho latter savs: Ho found tho vonorablo fathor of tho constitution a wan and wasted old man, whoso hair was blanohod and whoso form was wastod by blasts of morothan eighty winters. He had arisen from an antiquo poster aud curtainod bod and was sitting beforo a wood lire, and by his sido stood a small aud simple table, on which thero burned a single tallow candlo. Tho vonorablo statesman was himself curtainod and almost concoalod by a night-gown that roached to his foot. But Mr. Livingston said that as soon as ho had opened up tho con touts of his solitary embassy to the old soor ho Bhowod, hko Moses, that "his eye was not dim. noithur was his natural faco abated." Ho requested Mr. Liv ingston to road tho proclamation to him (meantime ordering auothor can dlo to bo lighted, Mr. Livingston hold ing tho papor closo to and betwoon tho two dim lights), aud durlng^thc road lug Mr. Madison gave austere audionce, somotimos suggesting a modification, an intorlinoation or a slight para fihrase, but this mentally and subject voly. Whon Mr. Livingston had iin ished, Mr. Madison, after somo qulot rotloctlon, reouostod to have the paper retaad. Again Mr. Livingston slowly nritl deliberately read, agaiu tho great AAd grave constitutionalist from bo noath his night oap muttered mental modification. Fiuully, ho asked that ho might road the dooumont and note upon it the chaugos or oomiuonts which Gen. Jackson had requested. This ho did, and his iutorliuoatlons wore as terso and beautiful and pithy as tho pages of tho FeiUralist. And now tho gray of tho dawn was stealing through tho curtains. Mr. ' Madison remarked that he had had Mr. Livingston's oarriago sent back, and that ho would drive with tho seoretary In his own oarriago to tho Court-Houso to catoh tho stage for Frodricksburg and that thoy would walk down to breakfast while the curriago was being propared. It so fell from some mis calculation that when they roaohed Orango Court-Houso thoy found tho stage had already somo tlmo gone. Mr. Maaison at once insistod that Mr. Liv iupston should uso his oarriago to Fred onoksburg, writing and giving tho couchmau a note to tho landlord of a tavern midway between tho stagos, or nearly so, instructing him to furnish a fresh team thenco to Frodoricksourg and return.
