I once saw a pair of them strcatched upon the heathci, piiuied together witli one of Cahm.'s jon,r a,-. i oxvs. This was spoken with the cool composure and simplicity of one who i talking to friends, or is careless if thr are foes. A looker on could have discovered a chequered shade of pleasure and triumph cross his countenance as AlcCregor's lip quivered, and the scow I of anger fell .along his brow at the bales ol his kinsman's destruction, ov the arm; of his most haled enemy. "He must be a brave wana.r."' said the young chief, compressing h's breath and looking with anger ana astonishment at the tenacious and cc I old man. " I should like to sec this Ci! i n Dim." "l may soon enough, and g n ye wcie a M (ii cgor, feel him too. lhit ivhat is the m m glunrhin' .and glaomin' at? Gin ye were Ulack John hi.nstd' ye could n,ae look mair deeviish like. And what are ye fidgeting at, man?'" iuhliessing the third McGregor, who had both marked and fcit the young chief, nr.d had slowly nuned nearer the old man, and stood with his right hand below the left breast of his plaid, probably grasping hi dirk ready to execute the vengeance of his m ister, as it was displayed on his clouded countenance, which lie closely watched. The faith of (he Gael is deeper than "to hoar is to obet."' the slavish obeiser.ee of tlie East; his is to anticipate ant! pet form; to know and accomplish or die. It is the sterner devo'edness of the not th. Hut the old man kept hi keen gray eye fixed upon him, and coi tinned in the same unsuspecting tone. "But is there ony word o' the MiGr gets soon coming over the hilM C luai w ad like to try a shot at Black John, their thief; he wonders gin he could pass an arrow through his rreat ha !v bulk as

ready as he sends them through his clansmen's silly hodie. John has a son, too, lie wad like to try his craft on; he has the name of a brave warrior I forget his name. Calum likes to sti ike noble game, though he is sometimes forced to kill that which is lit tie worth. But I'm fearfu' thai he o'errates his .tin streng'h ; his arrow will oi ly, I think, stick well through Black John, but "Dotardpeace!"' roared the young thief, till the glen rang again; his blow darkening like midnight; "I'eace! or I shall cut the

acrilegious tongue oat of your head

Dim that you have had visitors since

he went away, and Lies his stars that

A dark flash of suspicion crossed his

mind as he gazed at the cool old tormentor, who stood before him, unquail-

ing at Ins frowns; out it vanished as the

imperturtabahle old man said, "Hoah'

e re no a McGregor and though je

Ihe old man (w ho had waitetl till llicy

had gone the whole way)suddenly bend

the stubborn bow, and tyt an arrow on

I he string. In an instant it was strongly drawn to his very eye, and the leathered shaft of ii cloth breadth length was :. cicely launched into the air. "McA'p hooch!'' cried the young chief, moaning to raise the McGregor war-eiy , clapping his hand on his breast as he f. il. "Ha!" cried Calum Dhu, for it was he himself, "clap your hand l-thin"; the .arm that shot that never sent an arrow that came out where it went in," a rhyme he used in baltle when his foes fellas fast as he could fix arrows to the boxv-sti ing. The two McGregors hesitated a moment whethr to rush down and cut to atoms the o!d man who so suddenly caused ihe loath of their beloved young chief; hut seeing him fix another arrow in his haw, of whh-h they had just seen the terrible tfili t, and fearing they might be prevented from carrying the news of his soil's death to tho old chieftain, and thus cheat him of ins revenge, they started over the hill like roes. But a speedy messenger was after them; an arrow caught Evan as he descended out of sight over the hill; sent with powet ful and unerring aim, it transfixed him in the shoulder. It must have grazed the bent that grew on the hill top to catch him, as only his shoulders could be seen from where Calum Dhu stood. On (Jew the oilier McGregor with little abatement of speed, till he reached his chieftain with the tidings of hi son's death. "Raise the clan!' wiis Black John's first words, "dearly shall they rue it.' A party was soon gathered. Breathing all the vengeance of maintain warriors, they were soon on their way of fierce retaliation, with Black John at their head. Calum Dhu was in the mean lime not idle; knowing, from the escape of one of the three McGregors, that a battle would quickly ensue, he collected as many of his clans

men as he could, and baking his ternnle

He thanked them for tlie interest they had taken in his welfare; but he could not comply with their request. When the deputation took an aiFectioiiate leave and left him, his mother, who had been list-ning, with all the anxiety of a fond parent, used her best endeavors to prevail on him to stay at home: when he told her it 7ras impossible. After a pause, she hurst into tears with this remarkable observation "Wt 11 Nathaniel, if thee mut go, it is possible that I may hear of thy death, and if it is God's will that it shall so happen, I hope I shall not have the mortification to hear of ll-.cc being wounded in the back." Comment is needless a Spartan mother could not have said more; but Mrs. Greene stands pre-eminently superior to the mothers of antiquity, as her education was so dinerent She u-cs bred a Christian.

LIBERTY. Shame! that any should be found to speak lightly of liberty, whose worth is so tcsiitied, whose benefits are so numerous and so rich. Moralists have praised it poets have sung it patriots and martyrs have died for it. As a temporal blessing, it is beyond all comparison and above all praise. It is the ;rr wre breathe the food we eat the raiment that clothes us the sun that

enlightens, and vivifies, and gladdens all on whom it shines. Without it, what are honors and riches, and all

None could tell him none was afford

when but few of his foes remained, on
