At tli.it timo, when, the Crescent, over-!
thrown umler tho w alls of Vienna, began to!
grow pule in Hungary, tho chief of the Elian
guerillas was Leikem, a young and fierv ]
patriot. Itc constantly harassed tho garrisons't>f
Brian, llatvan, Szolnok, and other
places, by capturing their envoys and defeat
ing t||cir troops. On one occasion he uccom-1
pbshed a vcrv successful expedition by un
r.li: ... - .
v*l?wwuiv liming ii1>n ii ircwurc convoy in ;
(Jvwigj'os, on it* way from Krlan to Huda,
cutting down tlio whole escort.
While his men were engaged in a combat
with tho Turku in the streets of the town,!
Leikcm heard a cry for help from a neighboring
house, lie loaned otf his horse, rushed
in, and found a Turkish soldier ill treating
an Hungarian girl. With a stroke of his
dashing sword lie split the inlidel's head, and
liberated her from his grasp. Exhausted
and subdned by terror, the girl lay senseless
on tho ground. Leikcm, with tho aid of
some women, soon restored her to" her consciousness.
Tho girl was the very type of
Hungarian beauty, w ith black eyes and hair,
the charming Expression of her face heightened
by n gleam of gratitude towards her
deliverer. To the young man she seemed
the fairest of all tho maidens ho had ever
beheld. The girl, too, on reviving, thought
the chief just what she in her lively fancy imagined
a true Magyar hero to l>c?tall, stately,
with sparkling eyes, the terror of tho enemy
and the friend and willing protector of
the helpless and unhappy.
In our country love soon takes root, and
increases with a rapid and marvellous growth.
Tho'vonmr man remained but a short time
with tl?<? maiden ; still it. imfflcod to fill ih^ir
hearts with a sentiment not easily to bo effaced.
Leilcem left a promise of soon returning,
but that promise was morccnsily made than
fulfilled ; for scarcely had the news of the
loss of tho costly convoy reached Erlan than
the infuriated Pasha sent a strong garrison
to Oynogyos, and ordered a hot pursuit after
the bold guerilla chief; so that Lcikem,
for a thno, was an unwilling nrisoncr
in bis inaccessible lurking place in tho Mav
tra.
As a punishment for the loss of the money,
a contribution was levied on the town of
<?yongyo#; and, at the same time, to insult
the inhabitants in their most sacred feeling*,
tho Pasha commanded tho delivery of twelve
ot their most beautiful daughters for the harem
of the Parsha of Buda. Tho consternation
and the wrath of the poor towns |?eoplo
at this twofold outrage knew no bounds;
but, conscious of tl?eir weakness, they submitted
to tho sentence, and, as neither entreaties
iter promises could soften the inlloxibU
Turkish commander, presented their girls
^ tor selection to tho officer setit Cor that )>urR
poso from Brian. Among the number cbos2kcn
was the unhappy Irma.
Peikcm speedily received this dreadful in
. tcljigcnce. His instant determination was
^
K ' .
to prevent tlic maiden from being carried i
off; but, for the moment ho *wtw quite at a
loss to deviso a plan, likely to prove successful
against the numerous garriuon ofCJyongyos.
In the midst of this dilemma lie was
interrupted by the nriival of a messenger
from his uncle, the prior of a monastery of
Carmelties in this neighborhood, summoning
the chief to an immediate conference, which
Lcikem did not delay attending to, knowing
his uncle; who had already often agisted
him with cood advice dm inliI ? ovnnilitiniio
I projected and resolved upon.
Two days later an order cnmc to givo np
tlic tribute of money and women. The mayor
by presents obtained from the commander
that the maidens should Lc allowed to
; remain velied during their journey, until they
| w ished. At the moment of their departure
they were taken in closed litters from their
dwellings, and left (iyongyos under a strong
escort, accompanied by the fervent prayers of
the inhabitants for their safety. As they proceeded
very slowly, they did not reaeli Hat van
till late in tho evening, whereupon the Aga
resolved not to go any further that night.
Whilo preparations were making for the nc:
comdation of the unusual guests, tho com
i tnander of tho fortress attempted once or
twice to pay a visit of ceremony to tho maidens
; hut the matron under whoso care they
wore,an energetic Hungarian woman,remained
inflexible, and after a short contest rescued
I them from tho presence of a very unwelcome
visitor.
At midnight, when all was hushed the sentinel
at the door of tho house where tho maidens
rested, had ho l>cen more vigilant must
have heard, and seen a human form cautiously
descending. Tho seirtinel, howevor dreaming
perhaps of Mohammed's paradise, remarked
neither tho slight noise, nor the fig1
urc in w hom the chief was easily recogniicu,
a which by degrees glided down tho high
wall, fill it stood like si menacing shadow
1 behind him. Here, ft heavy fall was heard,
followed by H dull groan ; then nil became I
quiet as before. The sentinel being no longer
in the way, eleven other forms, let them- j
selves down from tho window, one and
all bearing greater resemblance to Stalwart
warriors than to gentle maidens. Loikem
hastily gave his commands in suppressed
voice; and after leaving two men at tlio door
of the dwelling, they vanished into the dark
mid deserted street which led to tho cast
gatcv There tlioy surprised the small guard
with equal ability and cut tho men down before
they could even think of resistance. liut
in spito of their quick and cautious procedings,
they wore detected by a Turkish sentinel
who lircd his gun, which nrou.scd tho
others at their posts on the walls, and the
nlnnn drum soon ro-echoed from every quarter
of tho place.
Not time woe now to bo lost. The gate
was forced open with all speed, and the
drawbridge let down. Leikcin jjavc a shrill
I wjiiAtie, ana on km utmj rejwiiwi m <? ?? i
tanco from the fortress, in a short time a
hand of 150 bravo men rushed in through |
the open auto, Leikein placing hiuisolf at j
their Iicwh led them to a decisive attack on;

lie found the prior in great excitement ns
to iho face of the unfortunate town. Tlio
inonk conjured Lcikem, by bis Christian
failb and his love for bis country, now to
show w bat enthusiasm tbo Hungarian was
capable of in tbo defenco of bis rights and bis
country women. lie than proposed to him
to go tbo town dressed as a monk, and there
to agree upon a scheme with tbo inhabitants.
The first part of this proposal was easily, effected,
as a few hours previously, Dulo, tbo
father of lima bud sent to the monstcry for
a priest to pray for his daughter, who was
then dangcriously ill. Leikein was for a
i moment unmanned by this sad information,
but by a violent effort bo choked bis feeling
and declared his readiness to comply with the
wish of bis uncle, lie hastily put on acowl and
left the monastery mounted upon n mule.
He bad the good fortune to pass the Turkish
outposts unremarked, and arrived at the dusk
Vf the evening, accompanied by lJulo's messenger,
in Gyongyoa.
With the capuchin drown over his head
Lcikem entered Irion's room. She was much
changed during tho few weeks that had
elapsed since lie saw her, and was so
exhausted that the pretended monk had to
bend over her to catch her whispered words,
lie could not long carry on his disguise, and
was forced to exclaim, with all tho fervor of
noble heart.
"I am not a monk, Inna. but thy warrior,
and am come to cure and to save thee; for
as long as 1 live thou shall not fall into the
power of tho infidels."
At the 6ound of that voice, tho tone of
: which she had never forgotten, the girl
! thought she drcampt; but again looking
into his truthful, manly face, she saw
a happy, realizo nn?l she seemed to live nnow.
The guerilla chief likewise disclosed his
intention to her fat her, who, cheered by his
presonco instantly stole away toothers of his
tried and bravo neighbors, inviting them to
meet at his house. Tho men came. As it
' was supposed that the escort, with the tri|
bute of the town, on proceeding to l.htda,
j would halt for the night at the fortress of I lotl
van, half way between Gyongyos and lluda,
at tho proposal of Lcikem a during plan was
to rally in ovor whelming numbers. The
bntllo endued in the market place, where the
dwelling of the commander and the barracks
stood and where tho mass of tho garrison
was arrayed. Lei kern's irresistible charge,
and the death of tho Vnslia, who f> 11 at bogining
of tlie engagement, soon discouraged
tho Turks ; darkness and confusion did tho
rest; and after a short and sanguinary, massacre
they surrendered to the mercy of the vie
their hunters, tramp about like dromedaries !
on foot,drive four in hand in their equipage*. |
The reason is, they come into the world with
good stout organizations. Why American
ladies do not heartily join in such out-door
exercise is, because they have not vigorous
stamina, the overflowing red blood in their
veins,tho substantial muscle in their limbs
that drive to such exercises n > a rational outlet
for their superfluous vitality. Tliochangeable
weather here discourage such exercises.
Tho vacillations of temperature contrasted
with England were referred to its causing
much of the ill health of America. The* vegetative
life of tho American, and attendant
pale complexion, narrow face, faulty tooth,
spare outlines, fatigued features, were all only
owing to tho notion of the elements and
tho imponderable agencies with which ho
was surrounded. There was not, however,
the lecturer stated, material difference in the
longevity of the inhabitants of Old England,

torious Hungarians. The garrison still numbered
six hundred incn, who wero greatly
surprised to find thnt they were conquered
by so small a band. Yon w ill hare already
guessed that, instead of the supposed maidens,
Leikcm and eleven of his men, disguised
in female attire, formed the party so carefully
escorted to the fortress, which enabled
them to accomplish their hazardous undertaking.
At the news of tho fall of llatvan the
greater part of the inhabitants of tlyongyos
tied to that stronghold, to seek shelter
against the vcngeanco of the Turks, and they
weio determined, in case of a serious attack,
to die under tho ruins of its walls.
Among the arrivals were Irma and her
father Liekcm, now commander of a fortress,
the fruit of his bold enterprise, celebrated
his marriage with his beloved Irma, w ho was
accompanied to the altar by her eleven beau- j
t if ill companions so gallantly rescued by the)

Dr. Holme*, in a recent Lccturo on the,
"Americanized European," says :
When a British steamer unloads lior!
living cargo at our wharves, at once is re '|
cognized the contrast between the resided |
and rounded face, tho plump developed limb ;
and muscle, as compared with the American.,
Thev till their coats fuller, they walk more '
briskly, thov articulate more vigorously, they
arc warm, jolly and athletic.
The change in complexion was attrributed
to ditfercnt in climate. The prevalent early
decay of teeth was charged to tho same
cause. Tho numerous pale faces to bo seen
and languid ailments so fashionable, he said,
should not- bo attributed to wrong living and
wrong habits as they uiainly were. There
wore faults in this respect?lamentable faults
?but tho invalid was too much scolded.
The lecturer adverted to means within the
reach of every American to counteract the
baneful physical phenomenon to which he
was subjected. The importance of air and
exercise was not, he said, slitlieicntly understood.

box, play at cricket, get up pedestrnin matches,

In Meiidocia country, California recent- j1
ly, a young man by the name of Frank bad j ;
a dispute with an old man named Million 1
about the possession of some property. A '
sliort time after Frank called at the house of I'
a neighbor and borrowed a gun, which was 1
loaded at tbo time with buckshot. lie kepi r
the gun a day or two and then r< turned it
to his friend. In the mean timoMiuton had 1
suddenly disappeared, and his body was snh- J c
seniicntlv found inn retired place, lie had r
been killed by a bullet shot. Suspicion res- i
ted upon Frank, ami bo was was arrested. i
Hut sit tho examination it was s?t first found a
impossible to substantiate the chargoof mur- ! e
dor by any reasonable proof. ILo strongly , t

Ionly gavo a new phase to affair-. A piece 1 I
of crumpled wliito paper was found near the v
scene of the murder, which was recognized
by tbo man who had lent the gun to Frank,

the buckshot, and lie identified it by pro-j n

been torn, and titling tho ?orai> to, a mutila- h
