The little band of heroes, many of wham hadnTeryet "smelt gunpowder,' wers ' ready when Orimth returned to start for Bel'ast. At the head of the little band, b left the works, on which labiar had beun resumed at early dawn. Kikntly the little band proceeded op th3 hill and along a thickly wooded load. The sky was cloudless and the daw prommed. to be warm, bat the marei of the Ameriesas for most of the wax 17 ihnnuh a forest, which would semen dseu from the glaring rays of the fteroe awn. The Americana, m their shirt-sleeve, with rJflea or maskets on their shcretders, harried along throngh the woods, sometin fanning themselTes with their hats, opasjsingto slake tneir thint at some wod!and brooklet. - It was eleven o'cloek in the foreaoon beftwe they came in sight of Belfast. Thttre was a cornfield which extended ejafeawpto the village, and, halting his smittt eommaad in the woods, Griffith sent Sam Ferry, who bad had some expsrieace is Indian warfare, iototbeoornflelii to reconnoiter. Eerry was gone bnt a few momenta whun be retnrnedaiid informed the yoong cosnmander that he bad seen a few redeoatsin the town.

Some of the younger members term Med, bat no one tried to shirk duty. When they were near enoogb to catch a glimpse of tbe town, they discovered two red-costs sitting on tbe platform in front of Layman's store, while a third stood leaniagon bis tasee near them.

"Why not charge 'eta, GrftT roared Hatobet, whose Mood was up. "We kin lick 'em. "They bar an advantage over as. Be earcfal how yon shoot, or yon will hit ens of your friends, " cautioned Griffith.

Though the young officer discovered that bis men were determined to charge tbe tobacco barn, be thought it best to demy until they could flank each side of it and prevent the English soldiers escaping-. But commands and reason were useless. Their American blood was up. They bad smeUed powder andheard tbe cries of their wounded companions, and as one man, With tremendous yells-, charged tbe barn. The British poured in a volley as they came up, -and a mtra named Hill fell with bullet in bis heart. Tbis only more enraged the Americans and the British soldiers wisely beat a retreat. They leaped out of doorwsys, opposite tbe side from whence the stuck was made, and ran for life. Three who could not get- out surrendered, and Griffith found bis hands full to prevent bia men banging them. Tbey released nny-seren American prisoners whom tbe British were guarding in tbe tobacco barn. No effort was madoto pursue the British, for our boro feared that Major Bridges ws only a short distance wa7 "od might come on in time to capture bia small force. "Wall, we've met again," said one of the released prisoners, coming to our hero and shaking bis hand. Orimth recognized tbe nun as being the farmer wttn wnom ne naa taaen utnner. -i torn ye the Britishers would never stop till they'd got the yoke on us 'n they're gain' to grind us down now to a certainty. "How did you come here? Orimth asked. "Why, you see them Britishers that triad to mob you fellers were so mad because they couldnt that they took me, and have almost seared my hair white by tbreatenir.' to bang me." "Bat you are free now?" "Yes, you hev set me free, but theylLl never stop till they git the yoke on oar necks. The farmer's name was Ezekiel Gross. and he wna a confirmed pessimist as far as the war with England was concerned. Captain Alton had all the Americans get ready at once to march back to Manoa. Their wounded man was carried on a stretcher, and tbe man who bad been killed, was buried in tbe church yard. The dead Eaglishiaan snd the two that had been wounded were left In charge of the old men and boys of the place. As soon aa all ooul-J be got ready, the new commander with all tbe arms and provisions ha could get at Belfast, started on bis return to Manoa. paapaanas- vo xms sixok. Captain Alton reasoned correctly when he concluded that Major Bridges witi his force was not far away. Had he remained in Belfast an hour longer be would have been cut off and forced to surrender. Hit force, now swelled to one hundred and tea aB of whom were armed, though manv had only their own fire-locks bad not gone half a mile when a negro boy came galloping down tbe road after them. "What's the Cap'n? Whar's the boss?" h demanded, his eye rolling with excitement. "Here, here- what do you want, Griffith demanded. "Golly, marster, am you the boss?" the excited boy asked. "Yes; whai is the matter?" "Do redcoats, on horseback an' on foot, sn'mwaeons. wid cannons, am comin' jest as fast as dey kia. - w here are sneyr"fiight arter ye, marster," the excited darky cried. "Dey was comin' when ye licked dem sole re in Belfast, and now more'n forty millions o' dem jist swarmin' down de road like bees." Griffith, of course, knew that the negro boy had greatly exaggerated the number of the enemy. From all reports he had heard. Bridges could not have to exceed five or six hundred men, unless he had received reinforcements from General Boss, whioh was not at all probable. At any rate, with his poorly equipped and illy disciplined force, inferior in numbers as they were, he felt that be could not hazard a pitched battle, and urged them on at a brisk pace. It is a difficult matter to get a largo body of untrained - men to travel rapidly. Some would bang back despite all be could do to urge them. nut Jims mere than nail ox tne distance had been gone over when the clatter of hoof in their rear was heard, and British dragoons to the number of twenty or thirty appeared in sight. They opened ate and began Banking tbe Americans on the right, intending to head them off. "Oh. we are none now: they'll bev tbe yoke on our necks agin, sure," wailed Zeke Gross, wringing bis hands. aet yor moutar roared xlatoaet, cooking his rifle. "Ef yer goin' to knock under at the fust scrimmage like this, ye better dig a hole and crawl in it. " A few shots were exchanged, bnt the dragoons kept out of reach of the rifles of the Americans, and consequently no harm bad yet been done to either party. . "I jest know they'll keep on till tbey git She yoke on our necks," said Mr. Gross, in despair. "Ef ye dont shot up 111 lay tbe butt o' my gun across yer neck," said Hatchet. "D'ye want to skeer oat everybody in tbe army, so we cant muster enough to fight the Britishers?" 1Te talking in ranks," cried tbe young commander; and having selected twenty experienced riflemen, he sent them forward to deploy aa skirmishers and drive back the dragoons, who, having flanked them, were between the Americans and Manoa. Although the sharpshooters drove the dragoons away again and again, tbey invariably retained, and so impeded their progress that when tbey ware about two miles from their fortificatons s large body of British infantry came up and made a furious assault on their rear. - The day was exceedingly warm, and though both tin Americans and English were adna&deTBbiy fatigued, the combat was neroa Griffith soon discovered that he would be compelled to out his way through the light-horse, who were now directly before him, or drive them away. He placed twenty-five of his best-armed men to cover the retreat, and with the remainder he began to advance hurriedly on the dragoons in front. The conflict grew warmer snd warmer, until it was little better than a running fight. Major Bridges sent two small field pieces forward, whioh unlimbered close en the rear? of our friends and began to thunder away. The woods doubtless saved the Americans from heavy loss. The trees grew so thick that not a single shot proved fatal to them, though one or two were slightly wounded. On the other hand, two of tbe lighthome had been hit, and tbe others gave ?he Americans reached the bin above the village of Manoa. Tbe stars and etripes could be seen Hying over the village below, 'and they could hear the shouts of their friends in the fort. Major Bridges had only been able to bring up a hundred of bis. regulars, and he realized that whatever wns done must be done at once. He ordered bis soldiers to fix bayonets and charge the retreating Americans, Orimth, comprehending his design, halted his men, faced them about, and, taking an advantageous position, mot them with a volley which greatly' thinned their ranks, and caused them to retreat in disorder. Be enforcements headed by Simon Kinman himself, came up tho bill at a run from the fort, bus the last Briton had left the field. Two dead and one wounded redcoat was ail that remained. Major Bridges, doubtless knowing the folly of attacking Manoa without the co-opera tion or the xenophou, feu back to Belfast, where he was to await the coming of thd man-of-war. "It's apHy; yes, sir, it's a darnation pity," said Sinman, when he saw tho redcoats retreating over the hill, ""est when feller gets his jinks to workiu' easy the cowardly redcoats skip eout." He was very much inolined to follow them, but Captain Alton ordered all into tbe works, and he was too good a disciplinarian net to obey. Well, we're here at last," said Zeke Gross, as tbey catered fortification, "but," ha added, dismally, 'they'll bar to yoke

"Yes," sighed Zeke, "They'll hey it round our necks, tbOi" "They'll find me worse than akiokin' keow to yoke," said Simon. The Americans wolre almost exhausted with their long, rapid much in the beat and dust, ana many threw themsolvot ott tho ground and remained, motionless for hours. The work of fortifying went on all day, and the earthworks wore almost obmEleted when night came. Simon, who ad served a fow months in the artillery, was enabled to direct the mounting of the guns. The long twenty-four, which was really a formidable gun, wati mounted and rnngbd so as to sweep the oooaa. Two of tho smaller pieces were on the seaboard side, whilo the others were to proteot them from a land attack. Tho Americans were without any practical artillerist, but Simon, who had a little knowledge of the cannon, began drilling some of them. It was tbe middle of the afternoon and Griffith was busy superintending the works, when a boy cam 3 to him with tbe information that one oi! tne sailors who had been captured the night before wished to see hiio. "I wonder what be wonts," said the young oomm mder, impatiently. At first be thought be would pay no attention to the request, but somehow it strangely impressed hi n, and he decided to eafi on him. "Well, Mr. Burnett, what do you want?" Captain Alton asked. There was something in the lofty mein of that grandlooking sailor which commanded the respeot of everyone. "I wish to talk to you a few moments on our defense," said Burnett, who Was pacing tbe floor of his prison restlessly, and occasionally gazing out of tbe window on the works. "I see your men lack skill in planting tho cannon. Griffith wag foroed to admit that they did. "I suppose they also lack skill in using artillery. " "They do, but they hope to acquire it. " The sailor shook his head, and after a moment's silence continued: "The man-o'-war is prepared with good gunners and heavy gun and in the end will pound you to pieces. Captain Alton. I think, however, if your heavy twentyfour was properly managed it could drive the Xenophon away, or sink her, but it will require an experienced gunner to doit," "What do you propose?" asked Griffith. "I was the best gunner aboard the Xenophon. Captain Monteith admitted that; now I volunteer to man the heavy twenty-four." "I thank yob," said Griffith, "but consider our position consider the imputation against you of being a spy, and think if I, as a reasonable officer could consent under all those circumstances to give you such an important position. You may be all right, sailor, and I do not say you are playing false, but your presence here, outside of the testimony of yourself and companion, has not been accounted for." An expression of painful disappointment passed over tbe face of the prisoner, and after a few moments he said: "You talk Tory sensibly; but will you permit me to accompany yon, and make some valuable suggestions as to the planting of the cannon?" There seemed to be no possible harm in tbisv and Griffith assented. Both of the prisoners were given the privilege of tho camp, but persons were appointed to keep a strict watch over them, and shoot them on their making the slightest attempt to escape. They accompanied the young commander, and Burnett made some very valuable suggestions as to the improvements in the 'works and mounting the cannon. His plans were so reasonable that the. artillery wa mounted and arranged under his directions. He even gave instructions to two or three gunsquads that were drilling. "Simon, what do you think of him?" asked Griffith of the Yankee. Tbe Yankee shook his head in a puzzled manner, and answered: "I doant eggsactly know, Cap'n. but I wouldn't trust 'im too far till ye find 'im eout" "I do not intend to, Simon. We will give them the privilege of the camp daring tbe day, with half a dozen men to watch them, but at night they mnst go to prison." "They may be spies, an' then agin' they mayn't," "I will intrust wntcihing them to you, Simon, for I know you to be careful and prudent. Do not bo harsh with them, I and yet be very careful about giving them too many privileges." I During tbe remainder of tho day Grit- I fith kept on eye on Burnett, the deserter i Of the Xenophon. There was something I about the sailor whioh seemed grand ana ' noble, and yet he could not rid himself j of suspicion. "It may all be for effect," he reasoned ' with himself, lie may be a cunning spy who has been seat among us to spike the guns, or in some way deliver us over to the enemy. It will not do to trust him too far until he is better known." The young commander of Manoa hod the works completed by nightfall, and the most experienced engineer would have pronounced the town of Manoa in an excellent state of defense. Griffith, now that the work which duty demanded was completed, hastened to the house in whioh his betrothed lived. As usual, she was on the poroh waiting for him, and, with Captain Oatrell, had impatiently watched his approach. "I was so afraid you hod been hurt in that terrible battle ou the hill," she said, as he ascended the steps. "Why, Ola, that was no battle," said the young officer, with a laugh; "it was only a skirmish, and a very slight skirmish at thai" "Oh, I thought it a terrible battle." They had reached the cosy sittingroom, and Griffith smiled as he seated himself beside her. "Do not be alarmed, dearest," he said, affectionately. "We ore well fortified now, and tbe men well armed and fairly drilled. They are cool and determined, and we will drive these invaders away. As soon as our American army has had time to recuperate itself, it will come to the front again, and will not be long in sweeping the English from our shores. The burning of Washington has taught us a lesson we will never forget. We will now think more of our Government and less about tho politioalparty in power." "But, Griffith, I live in such dread." "Of course, it is natural that one should dread a siege; yet our forefathers were used to it." ' '"Bnt we havo no common enemy. If it was not for Major Bridges, I would have no fears; but he is in command" "He can do no morn than any other." "But suppose they should force you to. surrender, Griffith. The Xenophon is a powerful ship, ard may bombard us until you will have to surrender." "We would be treated as prisoners of war, I suppose." - "No, no; we would fall into the clutohes of Bridges, who would under some pretext put you to death." "But, Ola, we must hope for the better. Look on the bright side. She shook her pretty head as she answered: "Father (she still oalled Capt. Oatrell father) is not hopeful. He will not admit it to mo, but I know he has great fears of the result. Sou have no experienced gunners, and be soys it will take an experienced gunner to bit the man-of-war." Griffith had already thought of tbis. His mind reverted to what tho deserter had said, and to change her tbcughtB from the coming attack he mentioned him. "What kind of a man is be?" she asked, "He is almost if not guito fifty years of age. Ho is tall, finely formed, and looks like he might be a noble man. There is something in that man's face and mild gray eye attractive to me." "Did he say he deserted tbe enomy?" "He did, and be claims to be aa American." "Then why do yon keep bim a prisoner?" "Because we do not know but that he may bo a spy a very ounning man sent to betray us, and we dare not put too muob oonfidence in bim. " She sat for several moments, her mind , busy with the desorter of tbe Xenophon.. i then she turned to her lover and, sab:

A tremendous report shoot: sea and land, and, with a hissing soream, a solid jthot flew through the air above the village "Hi, tumble up tumble up, everybody" roared Jack Hatohet, leaping down from the parapet, "Git eout o' yer beds an put yet shoulder to tbe wheel!" cried Simon, springing from his tent, bnly half dressed. Day was dawning, and out to sea could be- seen the huge man-of-wnr that ail night long bad been slyly warping into tbe harbor. She was yet over a mile away, but to tbe villagers, startled from their slumbers by the quaking report, she ceemed but a few yards distant. Ten minutes later tbe shot was answered by another from Major Bridges' field piece, at Belfast. "Ob, they've got us surrounded they'll never stop now till they git the yoke on our necks," groaned Zeke Gross. "Ob, shetup," cried Hatchet. "We're coin to liok them fellers in spite o' thunder." For a few moments the wildest exoitoment and confusion reigned. There really seemed danger of a panic. Tho awful reality of being surrounded by an enemy, of a siege, burst with suoh foroe upon tbe raw recruits thnt it was all our young commander could do to prevent a general stampede. He mounted a goods box which stood near and reminded them that thoy wers Americans in defense of their homes, their wives and children, and urgently appealed to their patriotism and oonrage. Even while he was speaking a second boom shook the sea and earth, and a heavy ball struck the outside of the workf, sending earth and Hand in every direction. But the young commander paid no heed to it and soon got tho recruits quieted down. "Now," said be in conclusion, "only a Jew are wanted at present, just enough to manage the cannon; the others go to breakfast and then lie low and rest until your turn comes." "Cap'n," said Simon, as our hero ceased speaking, "hadn't we better begin to let that 'Long Tom' answdr." "Yes, Simon, load it and let the man-of-war have the oontents." The long brass gun wk loaded and shotted, and then Simon sighted it himself and cried, "Fire!" Hatohot, who stood near with redhot iron rod, applied it to the touch-bole and immediately there followed a report which almost shook the raw recruits from their feet. Griffith, who stood oo the palisade, his glass to bis eyes, saw the bull strike tbe water before it reached the vessel. The shot ovinced poor morkmanship. Ho sighed and ordered the gun to be reloaded. Tbe two puffs of smoko whioh had risen from the ship had floated off some distance from the deck, and each individual cloud was rising above the water. At tbis moment Griffith saw a third wreath of smoke curl up from the forecastle of the vessel, and the next moment a powerful shell went screaming by within four or five feet of his bead, passing over the town. When about half way over it exploded. Fortunately, however, no harm was done other than killing a mule which hod been used in the works. "Oh, that ain't nut in'," said Simon with a laugh. "Jest wait till ye git used to it." "B but will one ev-ev-ev-ever eit used to it?" asked Zeke Gross, trembling with fear. "Course ye will," put in the blacksmith. "Why, when ye've fit here six months every day 'n this way, ye won't mind them things more 'a sparks from a forge." "I guess Hatohot '11 have some of the conceit taken out o' bim if one o' them big bullets hits 'im," said Cole. Simon in tho meanwhile had the heavy cannon snabbod and loaded He elevated it this time, and wben !ho shot was fired the ball flew to the larboard and missed the vessel a half cable's length.

A Wrong CalcnlaiteB. There have been for centuries doubts as to the correctness of tho accepted calculation of the Christian era. Borne learned historians cannot agree whether Christ was born in the year 747, 740 or 754. Prof. Sattier.of Munich, has published an essay In whioh he tries to reconcile the testimony of the evangelists with the other historical data on this point. He examined four copper coins, newly discovered, which were struok in the reign of Herod Antipas, one of the sons of Herod the Croat; and ho comes to the conclusion that Ohrist was born hot in 764 but 749 yeors after the foundatation of Borne, and therefore that the present year is 1888 instead of 1883. This opinion the professor tries to corroborate by the testimony of the evangelists, According to St. Matthew, Jesus was born toward the end of the reign of Herod the Great, and when that King died Jesus was yet a little child. According to St. Luke Jesus was born in the year in whioh, by virtue of a decree of Augustus Caesar, Cyronius, Governor of Syria, mode the first census of Judea. Again St. Luke says that St. John began to baptize in tlie fifteenth year of the reign Tiberius Ctesar, and in that year baptized Jesus, who was then 30 years of age. As to the first testimony can be no misunderstanding. Christ, being born in 779, was of course vet a baby in 750, when Herod died. But the other testimony needs some explanation. From the breviarium imperil (census of tho empire) which was added to the will of Augustus Csesar, it k evident that a thorough census of the countries that composed the Boman (impire must have been made. In fact Augustus- had three censuses of his empire made, namely, 720, 746 and 766. As St. Luke says that in Judea the first census was made during the reign of Herod, the census must have been ordered in 746. Probably the eensxs was begun in Judea in 747, and Prof. Battler thinks it was not made in Jerusalem earlier than 749. He finds that the four coins enable him to make clear the testimony of the Evangelist as to the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius. ThoughJAugustusdied on Aug. 19, 767, vet the beginning of the reign of Tiberius must be counted a year and a half earlier (February 763), when he was appointed co-regent. Therefore the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius falls in 780, when St. John baptized Jesus, who was then about SO year of age. An evangelist says that Christ began to preach forty-six years after the temple at Jerusalem Vas built by Herod. Now, it is known that the building of the temple was begun eighteen years after Herod was appointed by the Boman Senate as regent of Judea, or in the year 734 from the foundation pf Borne. Adding forty-six to that year, it gives 780 as the year in wtioh Christ began to preach. If all these calculations of Prof Battler are correct then the Christian era began five years earlier than is usually supposed. New York Sun. Adulterated Teas. The word "pure" as applied to teas from Japan and China, appears to be as necessary to their sale as the omission of the some word is to Indian teas, from the simple fact that tea can only be tea as if it is not tea, ergo it is something else and should be sold under another name. The cause need not be sought for, as it is simply due to the simplicity of a too confiding public. Tho middleman and retail dealer unite in full force, and the sapient housewife, who would instiinter reject "oleomargarine" or "butterine" for butter, will most meekly accept a mixture of willow or other leaves, highly faced with copperas and indigo or Prussian blue, as pure green tea, and this when infusion and a slight knowledge of the tea leaf would frequently place all in a position to test4he purity for themselves. Further check is at hand in a sediment presenting an appearance like its adulterant. From most countries complaints are frequent that "pure tea" is unprocurable at any price. Still, pure tea is manufactured, but how much of it reaches the consumer of China and Japan teas, as such is a question. By the time it has passed from the bush to tho factory, thence to middleman and grocer, and finally into the cup of the confiding drinker, its original identity would puzzle its manufacturer to determine its class, certainly as regards Indian teas, whose fre.iuent "miiincs"

and transformations often destroy all trace of their origin, fiiuaaelpliia Times.

A Cruel Surgical Trick. As they were lounging around on the grass, Col. Stoddard Johnston slipped off by himself, bored a small hole in a very long nail on his little finger, and taking a long, thin straw and ran it up tho side of his hand, and letting one end concealed in his coat-sleeve, pushed tho other through tho hole in his nail so as to just show the straw on the inside. It lool e 1 for all the world like he had a splinter in under his finger-nail. He came up toward Zaoh Smith, of Lexington, wringing his bauds and appearing to bo in great suffering. Smith, who is a kind-hearted fellow, ran up to 'offer assistance. Colonel Johnston, after a great deal of hesitation, turned his hand over to Smith, who began working to get the straw out. Colonel Johnston let him pull it out gradually, and Smith was all sympathy, drawing his breath in sympathetically and now and then saying: "Colonel, this is frightful." At length tho splinter was far ouongh above the nail to be caught hold of, and Zaoh gave a quick jerk to end Colonel Johnston's suffering. To bis surprise he drew out a splinter near three feet long. He sow the joke immediately and joined in the hearty laugh of those around bha.LouisvUlt (Ky.) Commercial. Oregon, the Paradise or Farmers. Mitt), equable ollnmte, certain and abundant eropa.

A beggar was sitting in a Now York street, holding out a battered hat. The following placard was hung about his neok : "Please, good people, help a poor blind man who was onco rich, but who has been reduced from affluence to poverty. You will never regret it" Presently along came a pleasant-faced map with a sharp, shrewd eye. He looked at the poor old beggar curiously for moment, and then suddenly drew book his arm as tbo'.igh to strike him a blow in tbe face. The movement was only a foint, but it served the purpose. The beggar jumped backward about a yard and started on a run up the avenue, winding bis way in and out among the passing vehicles with wonderful skill for a blind wan.

Odd Thoughts. Sterne wrote: "Were I in a condi tion to stipulate with death, I should certainly declare against submitting to it before my friends, and therefore I never seriously think upod the mode and manner of this great catastrophe, but I constantly draw the ourtain across it with this wish, that tho Disposer of all things may so order it that it happen not to me in my house, but rather in some decent inn." Otway said: "In all other uneasy chances of a man's life, there's- 'an im mediate recourse to :-ome kind of sruocor; in want we apply to our mentis, m sickness to physicians; but love, tho sum total of all misfortunes, must be endured in silence; no friei-d so dear to trust with such a secret, nor remedy in art so powerful to remove its angmsa." Samuel Johnson wrote; "In a man's letters his soul is naked whatever passes within him is there shown undisguised; nothing is inverted, nothing distorted, but to mnko a lotter without affection, without wisdom, without gayetv, without news, and without a secret is, doubtless, the great epistolio art" Don't Waste Tour Time And monoy oxporimonting with doubtful romodios. whet Dr, I'leroo s Golden Medical DIcovery is so positively certain in its curative action a to warrant .'ts manufaotuiors in supplying it to tho public, as they are doing through druggists, under a duly executed certlfloitto of guarantee that it will accomplish alt it is recommended to do. or money paid for it will be promptly returned.
