"ThU mast bo tho house: the junction of two roads, and a broofc in front of the banks covered with willows.? xnis place meets tue uiscrption exactly. Order the men to dismount with the exception of a couple of patrols on each road. Tho British were dressed in tlic blue and scarlet uniform of the British light horse, a corps that was formod atter the landing of the English troops in New Jersey, as soon as horses could bo had to mount the men. lie was an officer of some rank evidently, who spoke the alx?ve words, and his carnage and dornonor was both hanghty and aristocratic in the highest degreo. Why not?he was the eldest sou of a British earl. Tho house appears to bo deserted, Col. Halcourt, said his junior ofliicer as ho dismounted. "We will see. This way a dozen of you," he 6aid to his men. "Try the door yonder, if it is fastened break it open, and report if any one is in side. It there should be and they attempt to escape, shoot them down, but give them warning to surrender." The men advanceed to the door, which they found to be fastened ; and after demanding admission, to which they received no answer, they proceeded to break if open, which delayed them some time, for tho door was a strong oaken one. This done, they! entered. "Do you know tho man by sight, I lieutenant?" askid Col. Halcourt, while the men were busy ransacking the house. "No sir ; but there is a follow I picked up on the road now in tho rear that knows him well." "Order hi in to the front." The countryman had not a very pre-1 oossesinsr eountinence. There was a' bold suiliuess and cruel expression oft features extemely displeasing. "What is your name J" said Col. Ilalcourt, in his quick military manner. "John Classen." "Do you know Peter Van Dyke?" "Very well." "Is that his d welling j" "Yes?though since his mother's | death and his sister's getting married. | it is hard to sav whore ho keeps himeelf." "Docs he bear the name of being a S-cat rebel, and a dangerous man to i ose who favor the king in this neigh- j borhood ?" "Yes, from the Passaic to the Hack-; ensack and thirty miles around. It*. I'd had my wav he'd been hung long' ago, and his house burned over his; head; he is the learder of every rebel | gang from the army and points out the i honest farmer's home who stands by i their king, whose barns they plunder, j aud carry awav the grain.' U\Vhy, you tell a bitter story about ( him; has he ever injured you S" "Injued mef lie and a pared of j robbers like himself, came one inter-! noon to burn my house, and hang me bsfore the door, which they would have done but for the timely arrival ot a number of friendly neighbors, well armed, when they went off in double quick time." "Does he n??t venture into Now! York, som; timet'in disguise V inquired i the colonel. i1 "IVe beared so. TTe was slippery i from u boy up, and disguises himself I any way. lie's a precious scamp, and vou'll do a favor to this part ot Jersey, if you hang him the minute you catch him. " ] Tula conversation had boon held ' near a stone wall, on the other side of < which was an old garden; but the'] truble of the times had left uncultivat- L ed, and the goos berries and currant bashes had grown up rank and unfrini-! mod an 1 the briars stretched over the walla covering the ground from sight.'Under tliis, and within ten feet, of i j the Col. and Classen, lay crouched the;, very man they were talking of. lie ( hud barely time to escape from the1 house and- conceal himself upon the approach of the horsemen, whom he did not then suspect to be within ton, miles of him. Twice, or thrice on hearing the base lies of Classen, he' \ra^ on the point of rising and confronting him; bnt a little reflection was left j and lie thought that was not the occasion to pnt his life in jeopardy, "which , he cerUinly would do, since the party of troops had come expressly to take him. "Doyou know with any certainty, Classen, how long since Van I)yke lias been seen in the neighborhood 1" 1 "I have heard lie was seen last night two miles from this, in a by-path through the wtxxl*, coining in the direction of his house." "That is the information I received, ,i and I am determined to capture him koncf or later. If you can, point out his where nbouta, or arrest him ronrgelf, yon shall have a rcwar<l of flftv guineas." .... , Classen was as avaricious and fond of money as he was wicked. Fifty guineas was a largo sum indeed particularly in thoeo days when gold was rwreijr owu. "I will catch him, Colonel, before he U taree day* older: I know one of his haunts." "Why not lead us there, then I'? " t would bo of ho use this time of day. Besides he may not be there for a day or two, and I shall fiave to bo cautious in looking out tor him." "Well, secure him, and the fifty guineas shall be yours." Several of the soldiers now came from the house, aud stated that they had searched it from top to bottom, but found no one; although from appcarences, some one had been there recently. The Colonel, followed by' Classen, passed on to the house, while the fugitive lay quietly in his concealment. It was a plain fraim house of middle size, built partly of stone in thcoldDutch Sle, and very comfortably within.? ere was but little furniture?a fow tables, chairs and cooking utensils.? The better part, Classen said hall been taken ,away on tho occation of Van Dyke's sister^ marriage, ayesir before, as her part. "Hero's is a groat coat, sir," said , it. ...M! t-ii?.?- * *1 uuu ui mo soiuiers, * inai was iounu on the floor of tho kitchen, near the backdoor. It must have been dropped in a hurry." "Feel it there are any papers in tho pockets," said Col. Ilalcourt, "Yes, sir there is a bundle of em." The Colonel took the package, locked at the superscription, broke the seal, and going to the window commenced reading them to himself with u countenance of snrpriso. "So, so?here is a list of our troops, and their numbers in and around the city. At Eiizebethtown and Newark, 0110 thousand. Glen. Clinton leaves soon for Charleston with live thousand. Why, these documents are indeed of importance. Who can play tho spy! so throughly in our camp? This isj the most dangerous character to be abroad. Men," he said aloud, "and you, Classen, search every hole and sec if any more papers can be found." Nothing could give Classen greater delight than this order. Curiosity and other reasons had Inner nrororl Kitn 1a cuter the house during V'an Dyke's absccnce for that very purpose; but the droad that VanDyko might return while he was thus engaged, had here tofore prevented him li oin undertaking it. lie was now armed with proper authority, and protected. What he found or discovered, he did not report to Col. Ilalcourt, but made the same, reply as the soldiers, that nothing of importance could be found. "Very well; wo will now leave thej place and return to quarters at Powle's llood. Ilodgeson, placo some dry i wood in the middle of this room, and when I give the word apply the match." 1 "What! Are you going to bum the ' willows, Colonel!" said Classen, his fneo gleaming with satisfaction. < "Ves, I will burn the nest of this rebel carion bird. It is well he is not ' within my reach or he would swing) lor it. One such follow, with his secret j I spy ing ami finding out, is of more injury to us than a regiment of rebels in an open Held " ^ Little did the British commander imagine the vouug man was thenal-i most within sound of his voice. "To horse, men, all except Ilodgeaon." By this time Classen and the.1 Uolonel had approached within hearing of Van Dyke when ho halted with liis troopers. "Now.

It was with anguish Van Dyke lieardtho order, from hi* hiding place, fhe Willows, as the farm house was , called, had been the birth-place of , his ancestors, and there he hod passed ill his life. But what could he do? Nothing. Presently a thick black sinol^o arose and burst troin each door and window. This was followed hy a brilliant flame, that shot far into the sky, and the crackling of the well-seasoned timber, dry with a^century's preparation, could be hoard at a great distance. "There will l>o one rebel shelter less to night. It is a pity they were not all burned down; then the kin^ would have more friends this side ot the water. These rebels are like dogs?a good whipping makes them better natured. The house is nearly consumed, for the embers are beginning to fly before the evening breeze. By files, to the right faco, trot I" and the horses a heeled into the road. ' Fifty guineas, you say, Colonel, if I take van Dyke?" asked Classen ngftfh. "Yes, fifty guineas." "Then I will leave von herd and keep a watch around. He may return here betora a great while. Where shall you b?dt ?" "At the Oako, five miles off, and step for an hour or two tor a forage party. If anything should occur wfthfn that time you know where to find me." The officers and troops rode away. Classen lingered aromtd, and gttldnally approached the bujlding which, - | tmm?l -n if- tm rogues, he was as cowardly as he was | had. Van Dyke paused a moment, and thus pondered in his own mind?"that scoundrel will brin^ soino of thoso horsemen back, for lio will imagine that I may linger two or thrco hours around this old place. Yes, yes, I will after some twenty of our lads? have prepared an ambush for them. Fifty guineas will draw Classen anywhere ; coward as ho is, especially backed by the red coats. It was not long before Van Dyke returned with his party, whom he gathered by a signal; and as night baa fallen, they took their stations where they 1 could remain unpcrceived. For the space of an hour ail was still, when the distant tramp of horses was heard on the road, "Here they come,,? said Van Dyke. "Each choose his man, hut. leave Classen to nie. You will know him by the coat lie wears. I will give the tlio word .. .1. 4 _ ?... ? ?iieu iu lire. In a short time the party of l?or.*e-1' men rode up to the willows ; and true I ^ enough they were red coats, headed by a lieutenant, with Classen. ' Fire!n shouted Van Dyke. So suddenly and deadly was the. aim , that not more tlmn half a dozen remain-, i ed in their saddles, and they wheeled 1 their horse9 and fled us tjuiek ai possi- (, ble. Van Dyke had intentionally aim- |t ed at the horse of Classen, and he fell j < with his rider.

Lilt, A Noveu?-By the Author of , "Tho Busy Moments of an Idle Woman."Harper & brothers, 12 No. muslin, ei. The Now York Courier and Enquirer thus notices this volume, by a Charleston lady : "Regarding both conception and finish,1 Lily' is the best American novel that 1ms appeared for Beveral years.? In poiut of vivicity, ease and archness of expression, refined -analysis and graphic delineat ion of character, and simple, genuine pathos, few American novels equal it?and none surpass it. The scene is laid partly in Charleston and in New York, and affords a good opportunity for live!}' i*Ttari tune of society in those cities, which the writer has not failed to use ad van tageously. The plot is quite natural and unambitious, out very effective.? The style is nearly perfect. It has a French airiness and grace, withoutever falling into frivolity. It is wholly free from vulgarity and slang, no mean praise in those anys. As regards moral tone and religions bearing it is unexceptionable." Yankee Drink.?A tall slab-sided Yankee who was making his apearance at Capo May last summer, strolled down to the bench, during bathing time. On seeing the bevy of beauties disporting in the waves, lie burst into a fit of enthusiam. "Je ru-sa-lem ! if that don't just remind me of something good we have at bom."
