To bid mo good-night and be kissed ;
Ob, tlm little u hito in ms th it uncirclo

Oh. iln- sn ilcs th.it are halos of heaven.
Shedding -unshinc of love on my f.iro;
And when they are gone I sit dreaming
Of my childhood tlovely to last:
Of love that my heart will remeinhor,
Win n it wakes to tho pulse id' the past,
tire the wothl and Its wickedness tnad« me
A partner of sorrow and s<n,
When the glory of Ood was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
Oh, my hoart grows as weak as a woman's.
And tho fountains of fooling will How,
When I think of tho nniln, steep and stony,
Where the feet of tho dear ones must go ;
O r the mountains of sin hanging o'er them,
Of the tempest of fate Mowing wild;
Oh ! th T'-'s nothing on earth half so holy
They are idols of hearts and of households;
They arc auge’.s of tlo-1 in disguise;
And ills sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
And IIis glory still gleams in their eyes.
Oh ! tho«o tru ints from hotuo and from heaven,
They have made too more manly and mild ’
And 1 know how our Saviour could liken
Tho Kingdom of Ood touchi'd.
i ask nut a loo for the dear ones,
All ru liit.t, as others have lone,
Hut that life may h ivo just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun ;

Hut a sinner must pray for himself.

As she Rpoko Duncan beard away be-
biuti bitu the tierce yells of tbe Musco
gees, Boon followed by the rutile uud clat
ter of hoofs.
“They aro nfter us, (Jassola ; but if my
horse can bold out till daylight wo are
safe.”
“Can tho block horse uot hold out for
ever, Duncnn ?” she asked, and as she
spoke she heard the deep, regular breath
ing of tho noble animal*, aud felt his long,
quick bounds boneuth her.
Not so long, Cassela, as ho would hive
held out had he not boeu poisoned.”
“Poisoned, Duncan !”
**Yes, poisoned!”
“Dy whom?”
“By Pashka. ”
“How kuow you ?”
“Pedro told me.”
“Atul he saw it ?"
“No, ho discovered it.”
•‘Then wo are surely lost.”
"Lest we are not, Cassela, thongli wo
may dio togothnr.”
Bettor deuth with you, Duncan, than
life with the son of Pashka's daughter,”
said Cassela, as she clung to the strong
nnu that hold her.
Like a faint echo, Duncan heard away
behind him tho sharp yells of his pur
suers, accompanied by tbe rapid full of
g illopiug hoofs, ns the Muscogeos cuuo
on behind.
“Held in, o’d hoi.se ; tho time has not
eotno for your greatest speed,” said Dun
can, as ho tightonod the rein and brought
down tho black horse from his rapid bound
to a long, steady gallop.
“itemember, Duncan, the Muscogees
at-1 behind us, and
“And whut, (Jassola ?”
“And tho Cherokees in front.”
“i know it, and my choice lies between
then.”
As Duncan spoke he altered tbe course
of the horse, that was now speeding
through a forest almost dovoid of uuder-
OHAPTER X.
A CAPTIVE.
Pedro, the Seminole, stood by his horse,
uoar tho river bank, till the lierco yells of
tho Muscogees and the sound of tlying
hoofs told him that Duucan McIntosh had
succeeded. Then ho threw his short rille
over his shoulder, and springing with a
bound on tho back of his horse, ho di
rected his course up the ravine, in tho
hope of meeting Duncan McIntosh on tho
top of the hill, ns ho had agreed.
Pedro was a cool, resolute, faithful fel
low. and he loved Duncan McIntosh with
the whole of a heart that was warm and
brave, with no other object to love. Dun
can hud found him n slave among tho
Semiuoks, who had captured him, when a
child, in ono of their many forays iu tho
wars which they seemed over to have on
hand. Duncan was pleased with tho
bright, handsome boy, and bought him,
and from that day forward they wore
friends, rather than master and servant.
Pedro dashed up tho hill, turning to tho
right, iu the direction of the camp, to
take advantugo of the ground. When ho
g lined the summit two things attracted
his attention-first tho unmistakable
sound of the hoofs of the Hying black
horse, and tbeu the fact that tho Musco
gees woio all around him. Ho reined iu
his horse for a moment and looked around ’
as if making up his mind as to tho proper
course to pursue.
He came to tho conclusion to follow ,
Duncan and risk getting through the pur
suing Muscogees. He was about to start ;
again, when a score of warriors seemed
to vise from the earth around him, and
before ho could offer ledistance ho was ,
dragged from his horse, and a circle of
pointed Muscogees formed about him,
leading him in the direction of tho great
fire that burned before the lodge of Fto-
mio.
Pedro, with Indian stoicism, resigned
himself to his fate, and submitting t
At a signal from the chief tho warriors senses,
and all tho women, excepting Pashka,
withdrew from the fire before wlicli the
prisoner lay.
“You see Ktomio and his warriors are
going to hold a council," hissed Pashka,
as sho knelt beside Pedro and pointed af
ter the retiring warriors.
“Yes, I see them.”
“You will burn to-uight!”
Pedro threw hack his head and an
swered with a laugh, revealing, ns he did Muscogc

No answer, and he shouted again: and
this timo there came back a chorus of
mocking laughter, followed by the well
known war cries of tho Cherokees, and
before this had died out ho heard, seem

only temporal y, for it was followed by a
tierce rosolvo to rescue her, or die in tho
efi’ort.
He grasped his ritlo ami bullied up tho
ravine in the direction from which the
sound of laughter h id come, and where
he felt reasonably certain tho Chorokees
were. Ho hud not gone far when he l>o-
camo aware of his vicinity to the Indians,
uud he halted and stooped to listen. It
was woll ho did stoop, for a terrific blow
intended for his head fell on his broad
shoulders, and the next instant bo was in
