While Wilsou thus stood Oakola passed him, accompanied by a body of Indians, in the midst of whom proudly erect walked the prisoner, Carlos, with hrn arms I bound. I “They have their prisoner secure, but my prisoner holds me aud is free. I am ■ too great a coward to speak to her what is on my mind, and what she must soon know.” This low spoken soliloquy gave the fel low strength, for he released his hold on the logs and staggered to the cabiu door, into which bis burly shadow fell like a black pall. Patsy, who was standing near tho door, saw him, and with a suppressed scream she started back, alarmed at the appari tion. “Don't bo scared, girl; I uin't going to hurt you," said Wilson, as, emboldened by Patsy's alarm, he dolled his cap uud moved as if he wore going to enter the oabin. Miriam heard his voice aud footsteps ; she even felt his presence, as a daily wrought organization ever feels what is repulsive. Rising to her feet she turned, aud confronting him, she demanded : “What want you now, sir?'' “I want to talk a minute alone with you, Miss Miriam," replied Wilson, girt ic ing at Patsy. “You can say nothiug I would not h .ve my servant hear," said Miriam, with u wave of her brown little hand in the di rection where Palsy stood. “Did your father h y anything to \ou about me, Miss Miriam ?

Carlos, without a particle of nervous ness or apparent fear, Rtood in tho pres ence of Oskola, and not the shade of feel ing crossed his dark, handsomo face as he heard the chief say, “The prisonor ia ours—we will do with him as we please." Wil-on heard this and understood it. Way in his cowardly heart ho so approved of it that, bad he not woigbtier matters to himself on hand, ho would have insisted on beiug a witness of the torture which he knew was soon to take place. “When do your people fix the pris oner ?" asked Uerdick Wilson, looking at the chief over bis shouldor, as he was about to walk away. “To-night, when the moon goes down. While the moon shines we ciunot tor ture." “I could if a thousand suns were shining ; but then we are not made from the same stuff." “No, Wilson, our clay is very differ ent," replied Oskola, with something like a aueer on bis red fa e. Wilson walked back to where Blaok Ned and “the chaplain” lay, aud throwing himself on the ground between twern, be said : “I’m very much like Oskola and his In juns." “I’d like to know where the resern- bianco comes in? " said Black Ned, rising on one arm and glancing at Wilson with a comical expression. “It comes in just here : Oskola and his Injuns are goiug to kill that prisoner when the moon goes down ; I have work of my own on hand, but curse me if I can do it while the sun’s shining." “What work ia that ?" “Why, the wedding." “Oh yes, I forgot," aaid Ned, again lyiug down and looking up at the red clouds. Then, as if he had discovered something very incongruous, he burst into a lit of luughter, that angered Wil son aud attracted the attention of the In dians. “I’m glad yon feel happy, though you might tell us the cause, and lot us laugh too; but as for myaelf, I don’t see any thing to be very happy over," growled WilsoQ. “You dou't ?” asked Ned, with another hoarse burst. “I don’t," replied Wilson, with an oath “Why, you ought to be the happiest man in the world, Wilson.” “Why bo ?" ‘‘Ain't you goin’ to be ra »rried to night ?’’ “Well, I never did think much of git- tin' married, but I alius felt a feller that wasn't happy at auob a time didn't have no sbowiu’ for oomfort arter." “Is that what you were laughing at?" “No, not edzaotly ; I was thinkin' bow funny it was that we wua goin' to kill a man to please tho red skins, au' marry a woman to please the whites, an' both par ties didn't like tho job so muoh as to fin- *sh up at oooe." “And it seems funny to you ?" “Awful funny!’, shouted Ned, with an other cataract of laughter. “Well, some people is easier to tiokle than others," said Wilson, rising and di such circumstances, and that is, stimulate himself into strength Atid courage by au exhibition of temper. “Yes, he consented for you to be my wife, aud I’m goiug to see that his wish is carried out!" “You never thought it necessary to c in sult me about the matter, or perhaps you imagined my desire as to tho selection of a husband was of no importance to tbo man or myself ?" said Miriam, with bit iug irony. “I always do as I please, and I’ll do ho now. Your father would have been a beg gar but for me, and I saved him in order to make yon my wife. I want, you to Hgree to it, and have all quiot and right; but if you don’t, I’ll go through tho cere mony in spite of you. yet assumed.

Ho! says ho thought eveiythmg necossnry to i the success of the universe was going on swimmingly, lie hud no idou that in the last fit ly years the world had gone behind more than in all the tl.ou-<aiidH of years) tlmt preceded that peiiod. Ho says Hint when his aunt was a young woman, a half century ago, there weio lie such goings- on as characterize this unhappy time. Children wore children thou, and knew hew to keep their placo. Boys wont to i school or worked on the farm, and kept steady, and the girls did the same, and Kepi by themselves until they grew up to , bo old enough to have suflicieul judgment to take care of themselves. There was no flirting, nor simmering, nor bold- j facediiusH, nor profanity, nor slang, uor tobacco, nor g.milling, as there is now, drugging down the people and making old men and women of thorn : before they have gotten their growth. There was in* turning down of lights, ■md hug ,mg and kissing in the parlor till morning, four nights in tho week. Thorn was no gadding about the streets uftoi dark, staring iuto the faces of the men, ' and giggling in the most shamrdui man nor possible. When they went, to church in those days )! win to hear the preaching u"d not to lute ham^ercbiefs at each other, and uet like a “pubscl" of fools generally. There was nothing silly, uor i improper, nor new-fangled, nor sot-up ; about the people then. A young couple iu those days were tota'ly ciiffeiwnt from 1 a young couple now. He iu\ r thought ot coming moro than once i. k, ami that on Sunday, lie never oa. I.rough 1 the week, because both ot them fool too much to do to bo engaged m sic i tom foolery. Ho always accompanied her home Iroiu church on Sunday nignt, and if he wont in the house at. all (wuich he rare y did) it was s inply to sit on tho ex- troniw e igo of a chair in a very ro-pucttul 1 luanuer, aud uunverse with her parents. 1 Promptly at ten o'clock he went home , to bed, respectably happy. !i always them when he was, no sip uziiig of bunds, and id other nonsense. He n< v- ol calling her by her , given mi mo nor she bim by hts t given name. I hoy had too much re ; gard lor each other and their parents to lull into stieli levity. When they were married (w hich was at a proper age, and not like they do now; she find plenty of clothes of her own spinning and making, and many other things, which he did not have to provide, aud did not go to tier husband without a rsg to her back, as is customary tor brides to do now, as our re ado is well know. Girls are married 1 now who then would be in pinafores, do ing chores about the hoiiH", and looking up to their parents. But now the great object is to got a man, and they got him as soon as they can snap hold (it one, and ' before they are old i-noiign to know any { thing but nbbom, und gewgaws, and false hair. Not one in a hundred of them j can hake a loaf of bread that a hog would , eat. In those days ov< ry gnlcould bake to 1 perfection,and • oU d milk at d spin and churn (eveiybody Itved on a tuini then we , infer;as well us tneir mo'hers. J here was no such sickness, and poveity, and misei as there is now. The man wei'nt uea/.i faced and broken down, and tho girls • | pinch-wasted and weak-backed—as all : men aud girls aro to-day. People thou took care of themsolves, ail'd lived to a green old ago, hilt now they droop away und die l>efure they are forty. Where do you see peoj le seventy and eighty years old now, as they wore in those times? Where d » you, to he sure? Nowber- s. of course. All this and much more M" i O’Clareneo's aunt te d luin, and all this 1 and much more Mr. O'Cotrence rehearsed I to ari attentive and admiring utiditory, in Hullistor’s store, Saturday night. One among them was a pale young man of one huiidn d and ninoty-foiir pounds burden, a fit type of thin d"g"neratn day, and he, with his weakly oyo on the fortunate nephew of his aunt, asked . “How old is your aunt ?” “Seventy," at'swered Mr. O'Clarence, with exulting pride. old age," said the young man.
