founded on fart 3 iJH uuoi, r.. CHAPTER I.

iom-whre about the time when tha ill feeling, which had long been gathering trength and venom, between England sad her American colonies-, was ripened into a rebellion, there stood on the road

between Albany and Schenectady a fantastic old building, whose atyle had been hatched in the foggy brain, and whose walls had been reared by tho aturdy bands of some Dutch architect. It waa a substantial, antiquated houso, time-worn, grey, but not dilapidated; half smothered in tree?, with old-looking wing9 atretchi ig out in every imaginable direction, with little reference to uniformity t r regularity. Sharp gables, with steps to the toj)a of them, jutting up among the green branches of the trees; crooked chimneys, forked for the benefit of storks, which cover came there, and of all possible forma, were perched on the roof; some cf them stiff and upright, like staik warriors on guard, and others twisting and bending, like so many inquisitive old fellows, endeavoiing to peep into the narrow little windows which garnished the second ;t..ry. But every thing about it was soilj, strong, and old. The very barns hid a generous look. They were low, roomy and extensive, with broad, wide doors and windows, and had a comfortable, liberal air, not unlike some sturdy, short legged fellow, with a largo stomach and ample breeches pocket?.

days, but at present extinct indicating that it wa a place of public entertainment. Uueh r n intimation, however, w r.s Ktile needed in his own immediate neighborhood, for the Blue horse was a place noted throughout the whole country round lor its good ale, its warm fireside, and

its jollv, jovial old landlord, who told a

jtory, drank his ale, and smoked his pipe, with any man in the country; and so he could get a crony at hia bar-room fies, he cared little whether the fellow had an empty pocket or not, or whether the ale which w as making him mellow was over to be paid for. It is no wonder, then,

that tho Blue Horse became the delight of

the men, and the horror ot their wives, who wondered that their husbands would winder of nights to old Garret Quackenboss's house, and listen to his rovstering stories, when they could be so much more usefully employed in splitting wood or rocking the babies to sleep at home. Rumors of their venom reached the ears f old Garret, but he smoked his pipe, closed his eyes, and forgot them. His

customers did tha same, and in spite of

conjugal opposition, the bar-room of the Blue tlorsc was rarely empty. This barroom was a large barn-like chamber, with a wide gapping fire-place, and great sturdy fire-dogs squatting in front of it, with huge logs of wood resting on and warming their hinder park? by the way, en application to warmth in a direction which has latterly become quite common, not only to fire-dogs, but ?o all frequenters of bar-rooms. Heavy rafters, blackened by time and smoke, crossed the top of the room, and from them projected hooks, on which hung hams, and quarters of smoked beef, baskets, kettles, and various articles of culinary use. Over the chimney were aeveral'guns covered with dust and cobwebs, and which probably had never been used aince the landlord was a boy: but on which he now occasionally cast an anxious eye, a.3 rumors of war and strife reached htm from tho more eastern coloniea.

It W33 about five o'clock in the afternoon of a fine bright day in autumn, and in the midnt of a group of half-a-dozen men, with the face of the land lord of the Blue Horee shining out, like a red eun, from among them, we open our narrative. They were all men of the same class as

Garret plain, sturdy, substantial mostly f.inm'M of the neighborhood, who had loitored in to pick up the gossip? of the day or those who, on their way from Albany or Schenectady, had dropped in to have a talk with Garret, before indulging in that fame pleasure with their better halves at home. The subject, however, which now engrossed them was far from a pleasant one. It seemed so, even to the landlord, for he was silent, and turned a deaf ear to all that w as going on it being a fixed rule

of his to interfere with no man's difficul

ties but his own. And as this, which

uro I don't care."

As l.e sp-:ke, he laughed; and leanii.g

forward, picked up a chip whii h lav on

the hearth, and commenced stirring the fire with it, at the same time whistling, and paying no attention to wh3t his opponent said, other than by an occasional laugh, at his esvident anger at his being thu3 foiled. At last, however, Wickliffe, turned to a man who sat next to him, mut

tered something between his teeth, which drew too cry of "Shame! shame!" from those around him, and of which Blake caught the words, "M.-ry Lincoln." But they brought him to his feet. "What's that you say about Mary Lincoln?"' sai l he, advancing towards the man, who was looking at him with a grin of satisfaction at having thus aroused him. 'Nothing, nothing, replied several, at the same time tising and placing themselves between him and Wickliffe. 'Don't mind him Harry, don't mind him. He's in a passion, and dos'nt mean what he says." "But I do mean it," shouted Wickliffe. "I do mean it; and I repeat it Mary Lincoln is " 'What?' demanded Blake quickly, his eyes glowing with anger, WickiiiTe eyed him for a moment with a fixed dogged stare and it might have been shame, or it might have been a feeling of trepidation, at having at length aroused him, and at seeing the powerful frame of Blake, with every muscle strung, ready to leap upon him, that deterred him, for he turned away his head and said: No matter w hat. I've said it once and that's enough. They all heard it." Harry Blake's face from a deep ecar!et became deadly pale, as he answered: "Wickliffe, I did not hear what you said, but I dare you to repeat it. If you do, and there is one word in it thalahould not be, ihia hour will be the bittereat of your whole life. I'm. not the man to make a threat end not act up to it.' He stood for a moment waiting for him to repeat his remark, and then turned on his heel and walked to the furthest end of the room; and aa he Hid ao, it was re marked by several, who thought nothing'

him by the shoulder nearly equal to his own.

I'll strike you.'

'No vou won't,' replied the other.

But even if you do, I'll not let you goon a fool's errand. So there's no use scuffling in that way.' Blake saw that nothing was to be gained

by a struggle with so many, and so he said; 'Let me go. I'll promise not to follow him. But mark me,' said he, as they relinquished their hold, 'you hve this night heard this scoundrel defame one of the purest girls that ever lived, because he had a grudge against me, and knew that she was to be my wife. He shall pay for it, if it costs me my life.' 'Come, come, Harry, don't be a boy, said the old man. who had before inteifercd with Wickliffe. 'The man was

and so he said it. No one care3 for hurj or his words. We all know that Mary Lincoln has'nt her equal in these parts.

God bless her! I only wish she was my own child. Not bat what my poor little Kate is a goo 1 girl; and kind and affectionate too, poor little Kate is; but yet she's not Mary Lincoln; but Kate is a good gill.' And the old man shook his head reproachfully, a? if there were a smtdl voice whispering at his heart that he bhouid not have placed his own poor little Kate next with .Mary Lincoln. Harry Blake's fine face brightcnedas he looked at the o'd ii-.a-.i; ar.d he took his hand and shook it warmly. 'You're right, Adams you're riht. Mary needs no one to speak up for her. I see it. God bless you all for your kind feelings towards her. And now I think of it, Adam?, tell Kate that Mary mny not be Mary Lincoln long, ami may soon want her to stand up with her.' 'I will do that, Harry, I will,' said the

old farmer, rubbing his hands together;

'and right glad I am to hear it; but, Harry, you'll not carry this quarrel further promise me I can trust you, I know.' Blake, however, laughed, and shook his head. 'I'll think of it,' said he.

'Beware of rash prou.isos,' was what 1 learnt from mv coov-book. But now 1

-i i , must go. Five miles are between me and my home.' As he spoke, he turned from them, and left the room, and in a short time was heard gallopping down the road. Harry blako had not been gone many minutes, when one of the company, an old man dressed ia a suit of grey homespun, who had been sitting at the fire, an inactive spectator of the altercation, got, ur. anJ, turning to a man who was lean-1

in carelessly against the opposite side of the fire-place, said, 'Come, Walton, let's follow Harry's example. Our paths are the same, and we'll go in company, and as you are the youngest you oan get the horses.' The person thus addressed seemed to agree to the proposal, for after yawning and stretching himself, he went out, and in a few minutes was heard calling from without that tho horses were ready. The road which they putsued were the same already taken by Wickliffe and Blake; and as they had far to go, and it was late, they struck into a brisk trot, bo as to pass a dreary portion of it, which ran through waste and forest, before the night seTin. Part of it was sad and solitary enough, shrouded with tall trees, covered with long moss, trailing from the branches to the earth, and resembling locks blanched by ago. Denso and tangled bushes, with giant dead trees stretching out their leafloss branches over them, with here and there a aolitary crow pluming its feathers on them, crowded up to the very path and in other parts there were miles of pines and cedars, shooting up amid sumachs and dwarf busheK.
