1 My brave companions, we must use tbe utmost caution, or this night may be our last. Should we not make some extraordinary exertion, to morrow's sun will find us sleeping never to wake. You are surprised comrades, at my words, and your anxiety will not be lessened when I inform you we have just
passed our inveterate enemy, who, under
the mask of friendship you have witnessed, would lull us into security, and by such means in the unguarded, moments of our midnight slumber, without any resistance, seal our fate." The men with astonishment listened to this short harangue; and their surprise was greater, as not one of them entertained the least suspicion but that thev had just -encountered friends.- They all immediately resolved to enter into some scheme for their mutual safety, and the destruction of their enemies. By the proposition of their leader, the following plan was adopted and executed: The spot chosen for the night's en
campment, was near a stream of water
which covered their rear. They felled a large oak, before which on the approach, of night, a brilliant fire was
lighted. Each individual cut a log of host. It was dark mahogany, with its wood about th
ood about the siz? of his bodv, rolled it
nicely up in his blanket, placed his hat on the extremity and laid it before the fire, that the enemy might be deceived and mistake it for a; man. After the equal number of the sergeant's party, were fitted out, and so artfully arranged n? t appear so many men, the soldiers with loaded muskets placed themselves behind the fallen tree, by which time the shades of the evening began to

glish phlegm tvould not have enabled me to bear with patience; I escaped, however, being put to the proof by the meerest accident, the arrival of a poor Scotch surveyor, who was thought a fitter subject for the often repeated experiment. My substitute was treated with great, indeed with extreme hospitality ; he was
helped to every thing to excess; his glass was never allowed to stand full or empty for one minute. The potations were suspended not until, and only while the cloth was laying for supper, during and after which they were resumed with re novated energy. Our entertainer was like the landlord described by Addison: the liquor seemed to have no other effect
upon himself than any other vessel in the
house. It was not so with his Scotch
guest, who was by this time much fur tber advanced upon the cruise of intoxi
cation than half seas over he was liter
