"The White Swallow is on its bor- ders," replied the ehlef, quietly. And they proceeded on their journey. They crossed the Rocky Mountains, here also strictly adhering to the trail of the Athapascows, and were at no great distance from the Coppermine River, when one night, at some distanee an the plain they saw a, small, low, flick- ering light. Their owe fire was oora- posed of raere embers, but even these were hastily eovered up. Matonaza oast his eyes around. Not a tree, not a bush was there to aid their approach, though the camp in the distauee seenaeci to be near a dark object, whichlooked like a stunted grove of trees. This could not be, however, they having already pass- ed, as they supposed, the region in which trees are found. The three men look -ed to their rifles, stooped. low, and began, to crawl to- wards the distant fire on their hands and knees. The night Arms pitchy dark. The sky was towering and threateued rain. The low lire, scarcely distinguish- able at times, was all that guided them. Presently, however, les glare beeaane more evident. and Matonaza discover- ed. that it was placed under the cover of some low trees which grew on the bor- ders a the Coppetaline River. Ire could now clearly distinguish a party of men sitting round the email fire in the act of smoking; and leaving his companions and his rifle, advanced unarmed, bid- ding them slowly „reach a bank within pistol -shot of the camp. He then be- gan to writhe or slide along the ground instead of crawling, moving a yard or two, and then stopping to breathe al listen. In about ten minutes they sa,w him roll himself behind the bushes of the camp. Thay saw no more, for a strong r4y 02 the moon peeped through a cloud, and they could. no longer raise their heads above the ground. They fell behind the low bank agreed on, and waited. Tinee-puarters of an hour passed, and then Matonaea rejoieed them, using the same caution as before. He was out of breath with his hard labour, for such it is to crawl along the ground. like a snake, never 'rising on the hands or knees. As soon as he could speak, he told his companions in a whisper that these were the Athanasc,ows re- turning after a terrible forey itenenfe the Esquimaux. The White Swallow, however, was not with them. They spoke of her absence with regret, and as a severe disappointment, but how her absence was occasioned, he could not tell. Matonaza spoke in a tone which was new to his white friend. He seemed. husky, aud his eyes glared like those of a panther. The fearful excite- ment he had endured, and his terrible awakening from a dream a happiness, all the greater from his half -European education, had almost driven every civ - ilized idea out of his head. "Roaming Panther," said he to the Indian runner, " is thy rifle ready ?" " What, would nty brother do ?" ask- ed Dalton hurriedly. "ELU my eneneesl" replied the war- rior coldly. "Whatskulking behind a bank?" "Warrior of the pale faces, hear my words 1 Does a bear show himself in the distance when lying in wait fax his prey? Does a white waxrior, when in ambush, give a signal 3 We are three: the Athapasoow dogs are sev- en. Not one shall see the home of his fathers: their squaws shall find oth- er husbands. They have robbed Maton- aza of his squaw ; they shall diel" A double report followed ; and then, as the Indians with a fearful etry rose in the air to lie down again na the dark, the Little Snake, as the hand- some young chief was called, levelled and discharged the rifle of his friend Dalton,. who had declined to shoot at the unprepared savages. " I spit on ye, dogs of Athapascowsl" yelled the Little Snake as they fixed at randor- ."A dog -ribbed. chief will leave your teines to bleach on the plains of the Icy Sea!" With these words the three friends retreated, loading their rifles; and wad- ing aeross the river, concealed them- selves in a low hollow, and sought rest. Mark slept uneasily. The neighbour- hood of fierce and bloody enemies, rous- ed to desperation by recent losses, was far from being pleasant, and he was little surprised evhen, on rising in the morning first among his party, a lead- en bullet at once hit the bank near him, He dropped down and in an instant the whole three were again prepared. The Athapascows, six in, number—one had been killed—were near a bush on the other side of the river. They had just atdaybreak tracked the Dog -rib- bed Indians. These fired, nor was Mark behindhand ; and so fatal was their aim, that two warriors fell headlong into the river. The others, who were not aware of the nature of rifles, introduc- ed by the chief himself and Mark, flew to cover, astounded at the distance at which:, they had been • struck. • The friends loaded and. pursued. The Atha- paseows turned, and fled across the ' Matonaza gave vent to a low and boast to their women that their broth- ' ers evere killed in terrible ,fight. They are squaws, and will tell a a battle with a hundred warriors in their war- i paint." :Mark at once added, that to follow them was to lose all trace of the White Swallow, who was either a prisoner • amongthe Bsquitnaux or hiding some- where in the hollow S of the hills, await- ing the departure of their enemies. Be- sides, no time was to be lost, f or She winter was coming on, and all hope of finding her, would vanish with that season. Matortaza replied by turning his back on the river, and searching for the old treil of the party. They soon found the remelts of a, fire, with bones of animals—deer, &c.—whicb had been re- cently devoured, and thus Gelatinized theit journey, at some distance from the banks of the Coppermine River. • We left the White Svvallow advanc- ing towards the village of the Esqui- anaux with her worthless com.panione.

'The shied -painting being over, the party advanced, still following the banks of the rieer—strictly avoiding all erateences, for tear of oeing seen, and all speech, for fear of being heard. The Atsi,yw:as arduous and painful in the ex- elneThey fe:1 upon swampy marshes and muddysloughs, in which they sank above their knees. But not a word was epokan, not a. murmur or conaaint given Vent to. A tall youth had been selected as leader of the band, and no orchestra ever kept bet to time. They trod in each atbere feet trpe witli the most praiseworthy unanimity; and might, from their gravity, their stiff, ereet manner, have not ineptly beeu compared to moving Miemhaes. The White Swallow carried le a bundle the whole of their provisions —no inconsiderab:e weight, as they de- sired not to bait au hour when -their horrid surprise was effected. About a hundred yards from where they first caught sight of the lesqui- maux village they halted in eouncil behind sorae rocks. It was now late at night, and. yet these savage war- riors, not satisfied with their martial air, now began to paint themseeves anew. They daubed their faces with a horrid nextuxe of red and black— on one side with one color, the other With the other; some tied their hair ha knots, others cu.t it entirely off, They then lightened themselves of every poseible article of clothing, which they made up in another bundle, and gave to the unfortunate girl to carry. The moon now rose; it was midnig-ht. The five tents of the Esquiraaux were situated cease to the water's edge, with- in a half-raoon formed by some rocks that projected from. a smael eminence. Before the tents lay the placid waters of the river, in the midst of which eves an island, or rather .sandbank, and in the distance another Eequimaux vil- lage, of larger dimensions than the present. The Indians gave an "Ugh" of delight, for here was a second mas- sacre na view, and to Uwe savage men nothing could afford a more charnaing prospect. They advanced slowly along the banks of the river, and when within about twenty yards of the tents!, halt, ed; and having tied the feet of the White Swallow in such a way as she could by no possibility untie herself, they rushed to their bloody work. To modern readers, even of the details of recent wars, the unpardonable and hor- rid details of the sack of a city must be famitiar ; man, woman, and child have eel shuddered, we doubt not, over smne.s aeraost too fearful fax belief— scenes remaining for ever as bluts upon a civilized and so-called Christian age. But for the benefit of those who- have adopted the notion of certain modern philosophers touching the superior ami- ability and simplicity of the "man of nature," we theak it weeil to give some accoun of historicaa scenes that was once acted on the banks of he Copper - mine. • The Esquimaux, on hearing the wild. outcry of the redskins, started from their' sweep, and) rushed forth, men, we - .men, and children, to escape; but their ruthjieas 2 OSS were at every issue, and spears and tomahawks did their bleody work. The groans of the wounded, the howes of the dying, the shrieks of the children, the shrill yeas of the wonaen, were answered by the Athapascow war - cry. As the herd of antelopes loses all instinct of sell -preservation before the awful roar of the African lion, and stands- a while motionless, so these poor creatures no longer sought to fly or defend theraselve,s. •Not one raised his arra. Some wretched mothers cov- ered their offspring with their bodice only to die first. One young girl of singutear beauty fax an .Esquimaux, caught the chief round the legs; baixe d beeaa alone, he would have probably saved her, to take her to his wigwam. But the einaliation of war was on him; there were his companions to see him hesitate; and. quick as lightning, he ran his spear thxough her. But enough e spare detaile mere fearful still—de- tails which haunted the firet historian and eye -witness of this scene all his after -life. The White Swallow no sooner found herself alone, than drawing the knife she (had formerly secreted frorn her bosom. she 011E her bonds, resolved as she wise to lose no more time. This done, she acted with ale the cool/tees and• reblettion which, became the af- fianced bride oS an Indian warrior., She vratched the red -skins enter the mew, and even let thern commence theix mas- sacre. A dozen and more • doge darted by, flying frona the strangers: One passed dose to the White Swallow, and emelt her peoket of meat. She seized upon a leather , thong faetenect rouud lets neck, and theewauris feed/ The deg devourecj it eagerly. The giel at once re.solved to appropriate the awe Mal, foe f1116 07," his eature, having herself been born o11 the eorifinee of the Ricquinaaux territory. She fastened on Isaback the handle belonging to the Indians, and then gliding gently and namelessly into the water began •to swim, The dog quietly followed her, at - treated by leer store of provisions, The girl mesa. good and powerful swimmer; but she proceeded silowler, though the moles at the sack of the village might have excused even want of caution. But Thee -kis -ho was too much of an Indian to neglect any precautions. Once land- ed on the opposite bank, she lay dowu to watch the end of the scene; at some distance,, however, from the shore, and wele screened frona view. As soon es the .Esquirclaux village lay. in the stillness of death, and not even an infant 1.ft:rallied, the Athapascows ran down to the bank to fire at the men of the other village, wbo stood stupidly gazing from across the water at the raassaore of their brethren. They did not even stir when the leaden bul- lets fell among them, until one of the party r.eceived a flesh wouind, when .all crowded round him, examined the place In amazement, then leaping into their canoes, hurried to the dista,nt island, being surrounded by deep wat- er,. could be easily defended against swimmers with hatohets and. bows and arrows. The White Swallow waited to see no more. The dawn was now breaking in the eastern sky, arid her position would epeediey become dangerous. Cast - her eyes ebout her to select the best road, she distinguished, it little way up the river, some one seated with - 1.n a little cove fishing. She hesitated, for time was precious, but her goodness of heart prevailed. Giving the dog an- other piece of meat, she left him itt. guard of her pac.kets,and tripped rapidly down to the water's edge. She had her knife, and feared no Esquienauxe As she approached, she discovered that it was an old woman, deaf, end nearly blind, who had been fishing for saint - on by moonlight. The fish were sev- en or eight pounds in weight, and. strewed the bank. The old Esquineaux had a line lyith several hooks to it,and Cought fish almost as fast as she could throw, they being almost as plentiful as in Kamtclaatika. The White Swala :ow laid her hand on her arm. The old woman started. The young girl, who ,knew one or two words of her lenguage,. just said, "Indians—kill all —that side—seven tents on island." The unlortunate old creature just caught the word "Indian;" that was enough Lor her. She east line and. fish at the girl's feet, a,nd, mumbling her thanks tied. The White Swallow took as much of the fish as she could carry, and the line and hooks, almost believing that the Ma.nitou had thrown them express- ly in her way. This donee she rejoin- ed -her dog, and taking him by the thong, led him away as fast a$ she coued walk ha the direction she pre- sumed to be the right. one. She never paused or haeted until the midday sun warmed her almost more than was peasant. Then she ate, artd gave food also to her dog. He greedily devoured a. fish weighing eight pounds, and ap- Peered more aefectionateey disposed to td,s .neW mistress. The girl made much of him, far meta ore thhe had been used to; and the poor maenad., better fed and better lodged than usuahJeweled. at her feet like a,n old, and faithful servant. That fear renders man, and woman, too, fleet in their motions, is a. received and proverbial tenet; nor did the White Swelow differ in this from the rest of the human race. She shuddered at the prospect of feeling again into the hands ot the .Athapaseow Indians. She had seen the. massacre of the Esqui- taaux, and knew eveli what would be her own fate it caught. No torture that fiendish revenge could devise would be considered enough to punish her for her esoepat On she went again therefore, despite that she was weary and sore -footed, until she hit about dark on a small river, falling she supposed, into the Coupermine. Here, tender a bush, she resolved to pass the night. She- fed theeelog plen- tifully, oast her line into the river, and then, without making any fire, nestled near the huge animal, and went to sleep. Despite her dangers and her fears. Thee -kis -ho slept soundly, even until after the sun had long risen. When she awoke, she found Esquimaux as she called him, looking good-natur- edly at her, in expectation partly, no doubt, of his morning meal. She at once satisfied him, and found three fish on the hooks. But she herself ate only the dried venison of her packet, which was stile heavy, fox she had nev- er yet eaten raw fish, and dared not make fire. (To Be Continued.) AIR FUEL FOR GUNBOATS. Interesting Experiments Rohm Made In The German Navy. The German naval authorities have decided to partially 'heat the boilers of their men -of -War with oil. This new oil is called " neasut " It is strictly a t'ar oil, a product of the distillation of lignite, and is dark brown in color. Special tanks will be constructed for it on each vessel, and from these tanks pipes will lead to the furnaces. and the oil will be conducted thereto through these pipes. From the pipes it will be ejected by steam in a spray, and the resulting flame is very bright and absolutely smokeless. So fax as ite heating power is concerned, it is deolerecl to be great- ly superior to coal, Another feature vvhich has served to recommend it is its cheapness. The duties of the stok- ers are also greatly lightened by its The time saved in getting up steam is aoether consideration that, carried great weight, for the effect of the flame is bastantaneous, and the highest pressure can be obtained almost immediately. The value of this power to a mati-of war is almost inestimable, while the advantage to torpedo boats is also very great. • WOM_EN HORTICULTURIST.

Dean Stanley, in, hie "Historical Me- oss- moriale 'of Cantesbury," relates a lit- tle-known anecdote of the Black Prince who fought his first battle at Crecy when he was sixteen. His father, Ed- ward III., clothier him in black armor in the lamming, and gave him come mend of a part of the army.. He him- self stood during the day on the top of a witurmill watching the battle, and when in agony of soul he saw the lad wounded and borne back, he would not go to his relief, but said: "Let the child win his ,spurs, and let the day be his." When the field was won, he led his son rejoicing- through the heaps of dead and wounded seen by the light of smol- dering fire, and said, " What think you of a battle, boy? Is it an agreeable game?" There is a companion picture to this, in which the figures are modern. con, rnonplace people. When the yellow fever xaged in Mem- phis, twenty-five years ago, a Southern physician named Taylor was living with • his mother in New York. Owing to his weak leealth he had given up practice, and as he had large means lived in ry luxury, surroundee by friends, enjoy- - ing keenly the pursuit of literature and re music. There was a singular bond of nt affection between the mother and son, who were both friends and comrades. 'When the appeal was made fax phy- n sicians to go to inc plague -stricken city, d he went to her. "J. have had loyeg ex- ve perience with yellow fever," he said, "but if I go I leave you alone. It is fax you to decide fax me." A friend interposed, "if you go," he y, said, "you will never return. You, are e not strong. Let other man take the , work who will live through it. You e will die in Memphis." The physician smiled. "Alt places • that the eye of heaven visits are to a le wise man ports and happy havens." be quoted, quietly. " IVIother what do you e , ahe was old, and he was her only child. She, was silent a moment. 1 "Go;' she said, "God has called you. as ' Go, my son." He vvent, and never returned. The spirit of the king and the mother, and the work to which they gave their sons, represent the civilizations of the centuries in which the events took place. In the intervening time the world has taken on more of the spirit of Him Whose teachings are modifying, and changing the moral attitude of men and nations toward each other.
