She waited till they had iinished their meal and then said, "My father, will come and juiloe you presently; but don't be afraid, lie is not so terrible as lie looks;” and with these words she left them. It was an anxious moment. Platow summoned up bis resolution to bear the worst with calmness; and Ulric was in venting some ingenious falsehood to ex cuse himself for intruding witliiu their host’s very uninviting territory, when a loud rough voice was heard at a dis tance, and presently a giant of vast size walked sturdily towards them, carrying in his hand a young pine plucked up by the roots. "What have you come here for?” quoth he, when lie xvas close to them.— His voice sounded like thunder.— “Speak! you are spies from the plains. What is it you want? Is not your laud fr.t enough, that you must come here to spy out the poverty of my home? Will you steal the few goals that give food to me and my children ? Will you rob nte of my little hoard of dry corn?— This is the .second time that you have come to pilfer from me; and now villans, you shall tint!” “Ah, sir!” exclaimed Ulric—lie could utter no more. " We are poor travellers,” said Pla tow; "and Avcte passing, by accident, through your country. Our only wish is to reach, once more, the lantj where we wore horn.” “ We will gi\ r e you gold,” interrupted Ulric ; and he tendered some coins for the giant’s acceptance, who looked con temptuously upon them. “ What stuff is here ?” quoth he; and whirled the useless metal over 1 lie moun- [ lain summit some hundreds of feet high. weave your cloths or bed coverings from long grass or the bark of trees ?” “ No.” "Can you chno3e the best ears of corn? and sqw them ? and weed them? and water them? and reap them? and grind them? and turu them into broad?” V •* No—no—no.” "Yet, we consider these tilings im portant in our country, and even in yours they caunot be entirely without use.” . ' The dialogue which we have endea vored thus far to repeat, was extended to cnns'dcrable length. At the end of it the giant retired saying thaUie should n»w take some rest, and that be would determine on their fate in the evening. He left them with n grim smile upon his countenance. Ultic’s spirit fell, and he announced to his brother prisoner that one nr both of them would, in all probilily, be cooked for supper. After the lapse of an hour or two, the little girl, who had before brought them food for their breakfast, xvas seen again coming toivard3 them with a supply for their noonday meal. By this time, Ulric, after prodigious efforts, had contrived to free himself from his bonds, and with his knife, which he xx’ns then able to nn- slicath, he also severed the bonds of his companion, whom he was urging to es cape. As soon as he saxv the child ap proaching, lie exclaimed— Battle of Pliartialia, Pompy enmo forth to battle at Phar- salia against his conviction,and xvith Tore- hot-dings of failure. Cnesar grappled with chance, in the full confidence of victory. So did Napoleon, when the sun rose bright and unclouded on the morning of that cold December day in 1805, which heralded in his greatest triumph ; and on more than one similar occasion, he pointed to the great luminary of nature, and exclaimed—"Behold the Sun of Austerlitz!” When Caesar appioachcd the camp of Pompy,* he found his army ready for combat, and drawn up in the following manner: In the left wing were the two legions delivered over by Ciesur at the beginning of the quarrel, in obedience to a decree of the Senate. These were the first and third, and here Pompy (ac cording to Cajsar) commanded in per son. Plutarch says, in opposition to this, that Pompy placed himself in his right Aving. It seems surprising that the ac count Avhich Caesar has left us himself should meet with contradiction on this essential point; hut so it is, and we must compair the value of the authorities, as we cannot reconcile them. It appears unkindly that the general-in-chief, on of the field.

"Stop! it shall not he so, Ulric,” cried PlatoAv, interposing; “you shall not kill the child.

Ulric seized tlie under the eladiug of Afranius, formed the right wing. These Pompey esteem ed his hast troops, distributing the less expert in separate cohoits between the wings and the main body. He had in all one hundred and ten cohorts, amounting to 45,000 men; besides two cohorts of volunteers, who hadserved un der him in former wars, aud who, out of affect ion to their old general, though their legal time of seivicc had expired, flocked to his standard on this occasion, way to give them time to recover bieath and regain their full force. By this the calculations of Pompey were entirely defeated, and lie lost nno advantage lie had reckoned on before the actual fight commenced. Caesar says his men paus ed of their own accord, but this seems almost incredible, aud simultaneous ef fort of decipliue and fmethnuglit, bc- ond even those practised vetruns.— The opposing armies were now within few paces of each oilier, and after a momentary gaze closed in mortal con flict.

At that instant a j and Avere distributed among the whole a r- laugii that nin'dc the mountains ring, sounded close behind them. The giant was there.

To his son Wilhelm, fresh from col lege, and proud of bis learning, obtain ed from Greek and Roman writers, the merchant, Singlelieart related the follow ing siony : Two soldiers, who had been taken prisoners in battle, contrived, after n long slavery, to escape. The elder of the two, whose name tvas Platotv, had a mild and thoughtful nature. In the younger, Ulric, appeared a mixture of boldness and vivasity, such as may he seen in garrison towns, and such (as la dies say) should belong to soldiers. There was nothing in common be tween the two men, save, their common danger. This produced a partial alli ance of offence and defence between them; and on ibis subject they held oc casional confe rences. But for the most part they travelled silently by each oth er’s side, or shared the fruit and berries, aud ehaneg ears of rice and wild corn which they discovered on thrir way. They had to pass through strange countries, as yet scarcely guessed at by geographers. They beheld extensive prairies which Ihe buffalo haunts, aud trackless savannas, whore the wild horse und zebra enjoy boundless liberty!— They penetrated savage - regions, where c\’on man prays upon his fellow, &ud lands debatable and arid deserts, where shepherds, armed .to llie teeth, overlook their flocks, or where roving bands settle for a time, but have no per manent home. At lost, aftertneny days’ toil, they teoched a rich alluvial flat, where they had tor some time leen trav eling, and began To ascend, a bleak and mountaiucous country which appeared never to have been subjected to the hand of man. The snow (though it was al most summer) lay upon the higher peaks, whilst through the pas9 where tbpjr load lay, firce rains and howling winds kept up an incessant clamor, was nearly night when they arrived it a- £fkf\S*CKS BALT lai v4tr, for tale very warc.b IQ. ;*> and iu fine by - T.

" Ha !" saiil the giant, “that, indeed, is something. Come, let us begin.” Ulric, who belonged to set’eral socie ties for diffusing useful (and a liitle use less) knowledge, and avIio out-talked ev ery member at the annual meetings of llie philosophers, eagerly commenced.— “1 shall first explain to you the latest theories respecting meteorolites, or stones, or thrown from the moon.” “ The trhntV* cried the other, angri ly; but recollecting himself, he muttered aside, “ 1 perceive that is a jackass or talk ins idiot.” “ Well,” pursued U1 ic, “ if yot have no interest in that subject, 1 will show you how to unroll a mummy.” “ Platow smiled, and explained the nature of mummies, when the giant ob served, " But we have lio mummies licte!” Ulric, admitted that this was an ob jection, aud st-id, “ Then I will unfold to you the mysteries of storms.” “ That sounds well,” said his host; you can tell me when a storm is com- ing?” No, not that,” answered Ulric. Nor hcAv to avert it?” No.” “ Well, then, you know, l»y certain signs, bow long it will last!” •• No.” “ Wliat is it you are about- to dis close, then ?” inquired llie other impa tiently. “ I will show you how storms are gen erated aud impelled through the atmos phere. and how they sometimes revolve or proceed in circles, aud how——” Bah! exclaimed the giant; all this is for the people of the air.” “ It is really difficult to hit on a sub ject.” said Ulric, a little perplexed. At last a bright thought suddenly illumina ted his countenance, and he said—J* I will explain to: you the theory of rent, and show you how to hold a just balance between the manuiheturing and agricul tural interests.” •pat somcAvhat sheltered. Yet even % where it was wild and gloomy, without fruits and without flowers; the black pine treesj. together with scanty grasses and a few years of slirunkep corn, being all lliatredccmed it from utter barron* ness. Fatigue was stronger than hun gcr, and they slept. I11 the morning, just as the sutrbegan to thiuAv a cold light over the eastern mountains the travellers awoke, ” Hark ye, fellow!” said, the giant, now thoroughly incensed, “ you are laughing at nay ignorance. You wish me to irail you against that rock, to fur nish dinner for -the eagles 1” Ulric protested quickly that’ although self was genet-ally below liis thoughts, yet that such a mode of proceeding would be particularly disagreeable to bim. .. •i ■ His host now assumed tbb inlerroga- ter satisfying himself as to his victim’s condition, he tossed him gently doAvn and said, “Now villain! strip and be quick. I can’t roast you with these tags on. But, first, have you anything to say why you should not die? I will give you a lair trial. You have two j minutes to make your defence.” Ulric stammered out some unintelli gible words in bis extremity; but iu the end lie gave in, and answered simply, “ Nothing." Well,” said the giant, “that is good at least. And you?" he asked, address ing Platow, who rgnlied— 1 had your child in my "power, and —1 did not kill her.” “Kill her!” echoed the other.— What! kill a child ! Is that what they leach you to do in your country ?’’ “ Well, then, I saved her from death.” “ Thai’s bcitei," returned the other, “ and for that—mark! I will spare y° u '' . , “Aud my companion, too?” said Platoxv. No; he must die.” “ Spare him lor my sake,” urged Platow again. The giant looked gravely, but kindly upon bim, and said: “For your sake ? —Well, I will spare him too. And now, know, men, that 1 have listened to your talk. You have never been out of my grasp; no not for a moment. Had you banned my poor, sickly cliikl, death, instantly should have been your fate.— But one ol you was foeiciful—and mer cy begets mercy. A good deed should be returned twofold. Amt itTatlius-tLot 1 endeavor to repay one. Strangers! we are poor and wild people; but we have heads and hearts, fashioned after the same moddle as your own. Aud we wish, when you return to your rich and pleasant country, that you shall be able to say, that there is no spot, however savage, where men may not learn some thing—no spot where human gratitude does not flourish, and where the wisdom of kindness may not be taught.' A few evenings afterwards as the two soldiers, well supplied with fpod, were travelling quietly towards their borne, my. His other seven cohorts were left to guard the camp and the adjoining forts. The troops were deposed after the usu al manner of Roman tatctics, in three lines, with very littlespace between them. The Enipeus, a riv’er with steep batiks, covered the right. On the extreme left, 7.000 cavalry ivere drawn up in a com pact mass, supported hy the archers and stingers. This gallant body contained many of the noblest youths of Rome, splendidly mounted and equipped, glit tering in gold and silver, but totally in experienced in war, although dangerous and imposing from their uverivhelming numbers.

He therefore made corres ponding movements to counteract the impending danger. According to cus tom, lie placed the tenth legion in ihe right, and the ninth in the left wing.— As this last had been considerably weak ened hy the several actious at Dyrraclii urn, hn joined the eighth to it in such a manner, that they formed as it were but one corps, and received orders mu tually to relieve each other. His infant ry amounted to eight cohorts, in all 22,' 000 men besides two cohoits left to guard the camp. Domitius Calvinus commanded iu the centre, Matk Antony on the left, and Publius Sylla on the right Caesar took his post opposite to Pompey, at the head of she tenth legion, that ho might watch his motions and keep him always in sight. Observing that his extreme right was considerably outflanked, and exposed to be enveloped by Pompey’s caveliy, he draughted six- c.ilmrts or battalions of infantry, each 500 strong, from his reserve. With these he formed a fourth division of 3,- 000 picked troops, not prolonging the regular line, hut facing obliquely to the right, and in the rear of his own cavalry, so as to he screened from the enemy’s Ulric observed.an unusual silence.
