"We don't care for the danger, Captain, we're too used to that. There ain't one of us but had rather risk hl life thai that old tory should rob you of your bride. She's a staunch patrio tpo. and hates the very ground thftt a redcoat or tory walks on. We'll save her, Capt. from mating Silas Hall," or"il of'ds will die in the attempt. "Spoken like your own self,' Robert; I felt. that I could depend on you and the r est of my knen, to help nie corry out my plans. It is the only way there Is to save her. Her uncle, Amos Ierlin, watches her like a dragon, as does Silas Hall, who declares he will marry her before two days are over. le has such influence with Tarleton that~ he h'a4 sent a hIlf score of his cut throats to guard the house. This I learned fr'om Rose, who managed to get a noto to me by the - hand of Pip, her servant. "Her ticle is deter mined to marry her to Iall, whether she will or no-and Parson Sabine is just the man to do the foul deed for them. le would pronounce the ceremony whether she was willing or not. Thpre is but ope thing to do, we must 9teal her awdy from under the very nose of - the redcoats and their tory friends." "And we will do it, Captain. There never was a time yet, but that we could - outwit them when we tried. It never was said, and I hope it never will be that Marion's men were not a iatch for the enemy. To-night we will pay them a via it if you say so, and when we come back we will bring Rose Herlin with us." "That we will, Captain," echoed all the mien gathered about him. "Ihank you, boys. It is not often we fall, and I think we shall not in this case --we must not. If we do it will be too late, and all will be lost. Rose Herlin must be saved to-night. She knows of what we mean to do if the black boy, Pip, vets back all right, and Iknow no reason why lie should not. As soon as it is dark we will set out, and trust In Providence and our own strong arm to help me." A few words here by way of explana tion, that the reader may better compre hend -that which has already been partly revealed to then.

Evidently Silas Hall thought she meant to do what she said, and as her motions indicated, for he took another step toward qher, as though for the purpose of arresting her hand. "Leave tile ro&n,; Silas flail, unless you wish me to do the deed,'' she said, holding the weapon menacingly, and the . villain seeing that she was thoroughly in earnest, slu nk away, leaving her alone.

No rain was falling, although at any moment it seemed that a new deluge might be hurled upon the earth. Alone Rose waited the conung of hor patriot laver. Midnight was near at hand. Her uncle and Silas Hall retired to rest. So far as she know, only herself and trusty Pip were awake.

Mni) and Shakespeare "Once, during the days of my early struggle in .the profession," said Edwin Mlooth, "and while we were barn storming (town in Virginia, an odd thing happened, which illustrates the shifts to which the 'poor player' was then put in order to get along. We were playing-'8howing' they calleut.-3yoie sigh -t a- little place called LeO's talidlnghnd the tobacco wareliouse we had inprovised into a theatre was crowded with planters for miles around. We had arranged to take the weekly steamer which ty expected would touch there late that inght and between the acts were all busy packing up. The play was The Merchant of Venice, and we were just going on for the courtscene, where the Jew insistpop his poypd of flesh, when we heard -a whstl16 bI6w 'and the manager came running in to say that the steatier had arrived ahead of tnie and Wou leave again in ten mimjtes. "As that was otir only chance of getting (town to the Chesapeake, we were natur ally in a terrible -quandary. 'If we stop right hero and explain,' said the manager, 'the audieuce wili think they are being cheated, and go in for a free fight. The only thing we can do is for you follows to get up some sort of a natural-like im promptu ending for the piece and ring (own the drop. Go right ahead idies and gentiemen, and take .your cue from Ned, here,' and he hurried away to get the lug gage on board. "If-it had been in any other quarter of the country I wouldn't have had the assur ance to do as he said, but the ignorance of the clay-eaters, or ordinary Virginians of hose days was something marvelous; so when old George Rugglos, who was doing Shylock,' got to where lie sharpens his knife on his shoes, I walked solemnly up to him and said: "You're botnd to have the flesh, are you I" " 'You bet your life,'saldGeorge, under the impression that lie was improvising very skillfully indeed. "Now, I'll make you one more dicker," I continued. "In addition 1o this bag of ducats, I'll throw in two' kegs of nigger head terback, a shotgun, and a couple of the best coon dogs in the state." "'I'm blamed if I don't do it,' said 'Shy lock,' much to the approbation of the audi ence, who were tobacco raisers and coon hunters from the ground up. " 'And to show that there is no hard feeling,' said 'Portia,' tucking up her regal gown, 'well windti up with a Virginny reel.' "And as the proipter struck up 'Money Musk' on his idde we danced -a couple of figures and made a break for the boat as the curtain fell amid thunders of applause. "When we got on board, the steamer's captain, who had witnessed the conclusion of the play with great delight, tendered the troupe the compliment of a hot supper, and remarked, as we sat down to what was a rare treat in those 'palmy days of the drama': How to Dress With Taste. The art of dress comprises color, texture, form and ornamientation. The first consid eratict should be directed to color. The accepting of fashionable shades, without any regard to tile claims of complexion, is a great error, and the result is rarely cor rect. By chance one may, sometimes make a good hit in such matters, although by ac cident some of the best things in existence have conic t4? light. Red, this season, is quite a favorite, and can be worn by the blonde and the brunette, but the former must exercise a little discretion In adopt ing to any profusion this telling dye. The blonde who can befittingly adorn herself in scarlet trimmings, and especially where the hue is iin close proximity to the com plexion, should be very fair; a clear white skin will beautifully reflect the brightness of the scarlet ; whiereas, a face that has a yellowish hute, or a rather florid asp~ect, should never appear to favor scarlet; if' this color is worni at all by such, let it 'be far away from the face, except when ai ranged in an evening toilet. A brunette cannot wear pale-green, which is most becoming to the fair beauty. Orange is the brunette's own color ; hut if tile dark -belle has blue eyes this diazzling shade will not enhance her appearanice. The color of the toilet should be of that nature to impart a heal thy tonc to the compilexioni.

Hunting In the Tyrol. A love of the chase is inherent in the bold men of the Tyrol, and sport is fur nished, to the intrepid hunter by several varieties of game birds. Among these are he black cock and the golden eagle. 'he blAck oock belongs to the grouse species, and the sport requires great hardihood and patience and an accurate knowledge of his peculiarities. Like the pinnated grouse of our prairies, he is polygamous; but, un like them, is bhot during the pairing sea son, the hens being carefully spared. The descriptions the huiintera give oi the love sick bird strutting and gaimboijng around the base of a tree for the edilicaion of the hens who crowd around their lord and mas ter are ludicrous in the extreiu( His long song, which consists of three distinct notes repeated constantly at more or less regular intervals, is frequently his ruin for in the midst of his cestacles, during the execu. Lion of the third note, he is in4ensib'e to danger and lccomes an easy pkey to the rifle of the expert huntsman. Of course if you adopt the English idea of sport, you can build a miniature hut or blind of bushes in the course of the day, close to the tree selected by the jealous old cock for his morning song, patiently await the advent of the game, and then murder hi in cold blood. But this is far different from the genume sport, where foot and hand, eye and car, are on the alert to take adYantage of any indiscretion of your quick-witted opponent. It is a contest be tween% the acute intellect of. the featherless biped and the keen instinct of his feathered piototype. The golden eagle, the tiger of his race, is occasionally - seen circling around his eyrie amonr the lofty crags, and his young are sometimes captured by the intrepid hunter. They are of Inunense size, sometimes measuring eight feet from Lip to tip of the wings, an'd are the great est foes of the chamois and roe buck, as well as the farmer's stock of young pigs, kids and lambs. I had the pleasurable ex itement of seeing one of these rapacious birds carrying off a young chamois, which lie had swooped down upon with resistless [ury, and by the mere force of the concus dion hurled down the abyss, at the brink of which it happened to be feeding. Several times the great weigi~t of the prey obliged him to loosen his hold upo'n it while cir cling at a terrible height over ravine and peak. - As it fell, the eagle darted after it, and catching it i his claws, and sinking thirty or forty feet by. the imere impetu sity of his downward flight, he-spread his mighty wings to their widest extent and resumed his circling ascent,-with his prey lirmly clutched in his strong talous. Norway. Americans cannot but be interested in ill that relates to Norway and the Nor wegians. The old Norsemen who visited m)r shores some five centuries before Colan )us discovered the Now- Worl, have trans nitted to their descendents many of the aterlingqualities that made thetu once pre mundnt in Northeri Enrope, and the curl us student who pores over the scanty re ,ords of their voyages to North America, ihould visit the land of their descendents, ,vho are still a hardy race, and who have @ a surprising degree adhered to their lan luage and habits, their drM. and architec .ure, i'aval a well as ecclesias ical.

The storage of sap has always leen a very perplexing question from the fact that leakage is the serious fault with nearly every variety of tank mado of woott. The vat has many objections not only from its size, but the liability of the plank shrrina ing and warpmg, and about half the work of the first run is to caulk the storage. In our camp we have a 17-barrel tub, made of staves, but the swelling and shrinking is a very open objection, and always will be. The underground cIstern, while very cheap and permanent, has this against it that the 8a) has to be pumped up, involv ing much extra labor. With evaporators comes a demand for a continuous flow of sa) from the storage, which in this case his to be placed a few inches from the top of the evaporator, and all lifting sap is thus avoided. The occa sional filling of the pans and consequent cooling of the sap retards the boiling, and is no benefit to the quality of the product. All things considered, the galvanized iron tank, made in circular form, with a diam eter of about live feet and about the same height, is the most durable, satisfactory and economical tank. If properly cared for and kept from rusting, such a tank, costing about $1 per barrel, will last for years, and will not leak, which is a source of Colfort at least. The gathering tank can be made of wood or iron ; either will da, as the former ean easily have its hoops tightened in a moment. In either case the size should nlot exceed 10) gallons. The height should not exceed three feet, and tire upper head should be set down six inches inside the chines. A hole can the, be cut in the center of the head, aid the use of a funnel wil thus be dispensed withr; a conical strainer can be inserted, and the leaves, etc.. will thus be prevented from gtting into the sap. To unload-the sugar house should be buiht on a side hill so as to have everything "work down hill" to prevent lifting-the ''dump" should be so high I hat the bottom of the gathering tank will be higher than the storage, and the unloading can then be (lone expeditiously by the agency of a short piece of half-inch hose. It the top of the storage should be pliaced a box filter into which the end of tile hose can be put, aid when tie sal) is emptied front the gather ing tank it Is delivered about a ItIre as possible. No article pays a better return for the outlay than a heater which passes the sap from the storagre to the evaporator in a boiling state, and thus the transferring of the sap from one to another rather hastens the operation. There are many devices for this purpose, but lie most simple con trivance. and fully as satisfactory as any, is to take one and a half inch gas pipe suf Aciently lou to extend through the length of the arch and protrude at each end. If tile arch is made as we described, the pipe can lay oin tile upper course of brick near the edge of the pan and will be out of tihe way of Lt~e wood One end can be con. nected to the storage by a short piece of hose, with the aid of a couple of angle couples and a short piece of similar pipe to hook over tire ed:-e of tihe pan. A wooden faucet will regulate the quantity of sap. The whole will cost perhaps $2, and will do splendid service. When tire storage is empty, detich the hose from the pipe, go round to the other end of the arch, pull the pipe out ti lay it aside until again want ed. As the pipe holds a quantity of sap, and a half-inci st-rearm is probably all that can be boiled, it will be readily seen that the sap comes into the evaporator boiling hot. Our experience is never to use but one spout to a bucket, and never tap over. When sugaring is about half over, pull the spout out, and when the next run comes, tap tie tree on the other side. If tire tree is a large one, and carries two buckets, bore thne new hole a foot, or two away, arnd we give It our opinion that, the' result w~il he fully as satisfacetory as to use t wo spouts, and rimmning over tihe holes oeccasionaulhy. bistly, all things bt og equrai, a good wooden sp)out, is as8 goodl as5 a tin one, bunt the tin oneC beinig lighter, easier kept clean, andi in other ways (qute ais goodi, get tin Oiles, and~ still mnore lastly, warshi oit, your buckets, whrethner tin or wood, at least twice dulinbg tile suigar season, wvith lime water.
