Grippe,o(son onter sh arose e'n'iiad seemed as tho,igh she dould have escaped, but as the in truder stood in the entrance of the rock. As soon as his astonishment had a little abated he addrei;sed her in these words: "I fear madam, I have rud 4y dis turbed your reverie, but I cm assure you it was purely accidental: having observed the fruit on this vino I was induced through thirst to tast o them; and then by curiosity to eiter the fisstro in the rock; but I hopo you will readily excuse the disturbanco I have gived you." Shi readily excused his iurusiuu, saying he had not disturbed her in the leasts, saying which she woul(d have departed, but the stranger do clared that if she departed he should be convinced lie had disturbid hor, andl he never should forgive himself for the disturbance; upon which the lady seated herself upon the same rude seat, whilo t lie stanger ( for such he was to her) seated himsolf on a loose stone which lay at tho entrance of the fissure. The thoughts which engaged his at tvintion-thoughts of his disturbed country, his forsaken home, his affectionato mothor, woro forgotton. lie sat, musing upon the fair creaturo bofore himi, without aught save a groan escapin1g from his lips. They sat somic time with out speaking, when she, finding the silence insu pportable, was just goingi to arise to dIepart, wvbon a pa roquet p)erched upon a b)ough at short dis tance from the enterance of the cave (for so I p)rofer calling it) and( coin mnenced chat ting, wvhen the st ranger quiick(ly leveling his firolocks, a mo ment was suflicenit to bring the "bead to bocar," when lie touched the trigger, she wvontoff, a sudden revor beration of the sound among the rocks ensued, a slight shriek oscapodu from the lady, whlen the bird, wvhicla had occasioned the report, suddenily fell fromu the bough. After begging palrdoni of the lady for this seconi fright lhe had1( occasioned hem, lie pro coeded to procure the prize. Upor reaching the bird he found that th< ball had just tipped it, and taken of a small part or its wving, yet so a -iit to inijn ro seriously the bird Pickinig it, ip lie returned, w hon hn (onnd the young lady about to re t urn home, as she saidl.

Sh< nodded assent, while the pro )I(~c(1d along thle narrow path, he going hb fore, hut he was surprised t.o fin< that she was no0 ways dauntedci .crossinig the most difficult parts oJ -the path. On reaching the summi of the mountain they found a lovc plane, Hereupon Jais. slackened hi pack until the lovely stranger eamn up with him. He offered her hi arm, which she took for politenes than from ainy seeming occasion froi fatigue. Hereupon lie offered h( the hi rd, wvhich lie still held, as reward for the fright the rep)ort c the gun had occaisioned. She at ented the proffered gift, but insisto on knowing the name of the donor. Jam. hesitated a inoment, then In a low voice replied, Jas. Clarke, upon the hearing of which, a deep scarlet, i covered the face of the maiden, Jus. noticed it, but was at a loss to ic count for it on any other than nativo bashfulness. The truth was she had often heard of the name as connected with - those of the "traitorous crow" who gave such an noyance to the English and Tories in Carolina, and a being one of those dauntless few who wero not afraid to assort their right to liberty, though a tyrant had declared that the'baro assertion was treason. Ero they reached the cot (for Fo I shall call it) Jias. reqnested her to recipro cato the favor, aid give her name. Upon the request she hung her head, remiained silent for sonic time. Then raising her eyes, with looks of I li softest compassion, whilo a deeper rOd covered her cheeks, she re pliod: "Sir, you will oxcuso 111o. There arE soi things connected wit h my family which at present provent ily disclossing my name; but," she coin tinned, while a groan escaped oher broast, "if our acquaiitance should continue I will one day discloso my name and the reasons for conseidinig it at present. Therefore, you nimt be contout. with that by which I anm called by thwo with whom I livv, So0ia." Thoy had now reached the door of the cottage, or rather cabin, wheii 8.ophia reque-sted Jas. to step in. lie found an olderly matron seated beneath a rude window,diligently en gaged with her nrnidle. Sophia gave Jas. an iniroducion to tho lad,1y, whom I shall call Mrs. Philips She likowise related t he circumsi-tanices which led to their acquaintanice. A fter spending somo da3 s on t he mountain w%ith the fIalir Sophia, Jas. with that self comimand w%hich he had over his feelings, bid adien to the fair scene, after promising as soon as his country would permit, to return to see them. tio procoded to collect fojrces to defend his country. After collect. ing about furty nion of undoubted courage, ho proceeded towards Nowbeir, tho place of his residence, the company putting Clarke at the head to take conianmd. The second (lily as they woro 'marching along they were suddenly attacked by a companty of Torios, about one hin drod in number, who wem o ommand ed by Cuniinghan. N-t having a mmuinit ion, onur pairty were conmpol- - lod to rot reat, which, however, the most were uniahle to (do. Being tacken by that. oilicer. they shared the fate usual to suich occu5mnsi. Our young hero, ho'wever beinug an act ivye fellow, was enabkledl to make g.ood his escapo)(, lbut beinig pu1 SLr'nd by one' of the party somne diistance, he suid donily whleeled roundl un'dl faced his adversary. At t.he same timie the Tory halting raised hii ri lIo. A dendly silence ensued. They stood face to face about teni pa(es 1aot, hut with their iflets presented. Jas'. riflie first fired. T'he ball took effect. glancmng the breast of the Tory, who ha ving this gun p)resentedl and1 just at the moment about touching thle trigger, feeling thle ball, gave a sud (den bound and fell to thle ground. Buit at the sane timen his linger p)res sing upon the t rigger pulled her off', the ball glancing our hero's side jnlst below t he right arm, passed on, w it ht 1out giving any serious in,jury. I110 stoppo~d, retuirnedo, and e'xaruiined the I youth wvhomi he just ,-hot. 11e senm e d to be about twenty years of age, manly in ap)pearatnee, and1( upon the 1 whole a tirui) inteirestiung young man. -Clarke pausedC( andl cast a pensive 1 look on thle st ranger.

The i Whittens and other staunch loyalists were soon routed. Among the latter was a free negro, who took an activo part inl burning houses, robbing, I a0msinig folmales, Ote., by the name of Jones.

Thils ended one of the most wretched of all that misguieds'( I crew who fought against their coun) try. F After clearing "tho nighborhood of the Tories, Clarke proposed to his ,companionl Smith to aceoipauy him to see his mother and sister, who were living in the lower part of the I di-trict.- Smit I readily consited, and tho next. day they reached the re'.idenee of his inother and sister, whom they fond enjoying good he10hh11, buit undor groat. apprelloho. sions for Ii.-s safety, for Ahm know that 11Cu'ninham ha1d been in the neigl' borhood (for Ie had been there t. and had tak"ln off litearly all she - possssed) and sho know that if 1 ie should find Jus. he would be s1re to sul'or for his lovo of liberty.

They spent, severa1l days at Mrs. Clarko't, which Wore usually Spent in rambles through the fields gather ing fruits and flowers. During these rainbles Thonm would isually n coMpany them, and found himself so delighted that when his friend in formed him of his leterinination to start the next day, he felt for the first time that the compar.y of the females had something more attract ing in it than he was willing to ad. mit, even to Limself. Taking his friend aside be freely acknowledged to him his affection for his sister. Jas. received this intelligonce without any degree of surprise, for he had beon a close ob.server of their action. lie, however, informed his frivind that he had no objections to it, pro vided it. met the approbation of his mother--and sister, ho woul(d have adled, but, being assuired that. she lhad 1no objections, lie contenited him self withl saying mxot her.
