We left Mildred securely lodged with her new and kind-hearted friends, under the hospitable roof of the farm er, hard by the Yadkin. The reader has, doubtless, found reason In the course of this narrative to marvel much that a lady so del'eately nur tured should, with so stout a spirit and with such singular devotion, have tempted so many dangers, and ex posed herself to such unwonted hard ships, for the sake of the man she loved. Perhaps I might be able to clear up this matter, by referring to the extraordinary conjuncture of cir cumstances that surrounded her. It was no secret that she fervently, and with her whole heart,—yea even with a fanatical worship,—doved the man she sought Her affection had. been nursed In solitude, and, like a cen tral fire, glowed with a fervid beat, unobserved at first, silent and steady: ana by degrees her enthusiasm spread its coloring over the passion, and raised it into a fanciful but solemn self-dedication. This warmth of feel ing might still have been witnessed only within her family precinct, had it not been that, at a most critical moment, when her father’s absence from the Dove Cote left her without other resource than her own unaided counsel, she was made acquainted that her lover’s life was in imminent peril, and that a word from her might perhaps avert Ms doom. We have seen with what anxious alacrity she set forth in that emergency up on her pilgrimage of duty; gad how, as she became familiar with ward ship and danger, her constancy and resolution still took a higher tone, growing more vigorous even with the Impediments that lay across her path. This may seem strange to our peace- bred dames,—and little congruous with that feminine reserve and shrinking- ness which we are wont to praise: hut war, distress, and disaster work miracles In the female bosom, and render that virtuous and seemly, which ease and safety might repel. Nature Is a wise and cunning char mer, and, In affliction, makes that for wardness not unlovely, which In tran quil and happy times she would visit with her censure. If these consider ations do not suffice to explain the present movements of my heroine, I must beg my reader to have patience to the end, when, peradventure, he will find a still better reason. When morning came, Mildred was up with the first blush of light. Her thoughts had dwelt with a busy rest lessness upon the late Intelligence, and she had slept only In short fi£d disturbed Intervals. She was impa tient to he again upon the road. Accordingly, as soon as the prepa rations for their Journey could be made, our party, now Increased by the addition of Musgrove and his daught er, set forward on their travel towards Burk Coart House. This journey was protracted through several days. The disturbed state of the country, produced by the active hostilities which were now re newed, made it prudent for our way farers frequently to bait amongst the friendly inhabitants of the region through which they travelled. In or der to obtain Information, or wait for the passage of troops whose presence might have caused embarrassment The considerate kindness of Allen Musgrove, and the unwearied atten tions of Mary, who, own griefs, sympathy for dred, every day increased the friend ship which their present companion- shiy bad engendered, and greatly b»] upon every upright \ stem or trunk, gave a new and gortesque out line to the familiar objac 3 of the wood.

This circumstance had drawn the war to that quarter, and had Indnced a fre quent struggle to retain a footing there, by each party who came Into possession of it. jguch a state of things ha<i now, as we have before remarked, embarrassed the progress no heed, of our friends, and had even com pelled them to diverge largely from the direct route of their Journey, It happened, a few days after leav ing the Yadkin, that the hour of sun set found our little troop pursuing a road through the deep and gloomy forest, which, for several miles past, Shoe; had been unrelieved by any appear^ wears ance of human habitation.
