Clair t single combat. Nothing loath the bray St. Clair prepared at once to meet him, bu was prevented by his followere, who de • clined to riek his precious life. After sev eral advanced skirmishes, about noon th battle became generaybroadsword and tar get being the only weapons made use of and thus a series of single combats extend ed all over the heath,'. Black Angus had spread carnage wherev r he appeared. Th scene throughout was terrible, so much s that in less than an ho r half of each army had fallen either dead r wounded. Amide this fiend -like melee, Angus Dinn fixed hi eyes on St, Clair, who liad just disabled an opponent, and sprang cross a small stream to attack him, exclaim ng : " Dhoul, (devily I have.got you !" SG. Clair and his sister had spent much of the r early life in France, then an ally of Scotian , where their .uncle was a political exile, a d had received muoh of their education there, including an, ex- pert uee of the broadsword, then so popular in that country. Of this heroic kind of exercise Flora.was very fond, as ehe is said to have been of all athletic sports. Chief- tain S'e Clair, elthough about six feet, and of handsome symmetr , lacked two inches of the stature of his op onene, but St. Clair had great confidence in his skill of fence and of making lightning pasties. Retreating backward to firm grou d, he there mot Mc - 'Kay point to point, here he parried the ravage blows of his ant garnet and watched -closely for adventag . Angus depended more on his strength a d length ot arm than on trained skill, and -in warding off his pow. erful blows St. Clair w 8 forced backwarda ; blue meantime he had d awn flret blood from hie opponent. At that moment some heath caught St. Clair's foo , and he steggered backwards to regain his footing, during which he could not well guard himself. An- gus was just about to take advantage of this, and was on the eve of dispatching him with one terrible bloW, when a bay with closed helmet sprang fo4ward and gave the sword arm of Angus Dims so sharp and rap'd a cut that it severbd the sivews of his arm, and his sword 10 once fell from his hand. The youth imm diately disappeared lii and was seen on the fi ld no more during the fray. Two of the 4 t...Clairs who were neat would have elain Angus, who was now defenceless, but St. Clair protected him, and he was taken to the lrear as a prisoner. Meantime the carnage went on, the general fight surging back and forth until the whole heath was etrewed wit dead and dying. The entire battle consist d in so many hand - to hand combats, and ong before sunset only a few on each aide remained unwound- ed. At the onset the Ste Claire suffered greatly, and ehe day seemed almost lost to them ; but the cry of " s engeance for Flora St. Clair," who was loved by all, inspired them, and by one terrible charge they re- gained their position and held it to the last. As far as tradition goes, two hundred of the McKays fled under cover of night ; and the St, Claire only held their ground at the expense of five hundred fallen clansmen, amonget whom were many of the Clan Gunn, their allies, who had joined them on this occasion. On the other hand, the Keiths were the allies of the MoKays and Sutherlands, which originated the rhyme, as fresh to day in the North Highlands as it was three hundred years ago : "St. Clair, McKay and Sutherland, -Keith and Clan Gunn - There always was a battle When those five were in." ; On thikt fatal day wheti Angus Dinn lay wounded and bleeding in the rear of the fight under a strong guard two females ap- proached him with bandages torn from their own clothing. The least felt but the most fatal of his wounds was that which he had received under the left shoulder from the sword of St. Clair, bat which externally did not bleed very profudely. The artery of his right arm had been Severed, however, and in absence of • any proper appliance to staunch the bleeding his life was rapidly issuing at the wound. He was so situated y, • 0 3 when the females approached where he lay and offered aseistance. He raised his eyee and found diet the meesengers of mercy were none otEer than Flora St. Clair and the castle servant gill to whom he had often spoken rudely. He asked for pardon. and received it, and ae li'lora tried to staunch the wound Which to save her brother she herself had ieflicted, she wept for the eb- bing life which she vainly tried to save, al- though the victim had been the cause of that fatal battle, the tradition. of which has been carried down along the centuriee- varying in details but intact in all essen- tials. Tradition tells us that Flora became a French countess, but it is silent regarding all °there, including her noble brother. It is pleasant to suppose, however, that she did not forget the faithful girl evho saved her liberty,. if not her life. Let us now turn to the modern conditien of things. Civaation and much, prized religion reigns supreme Where savage feudalism held un- limited away ithree and a half centuries ago. No. wonder that Scotsmen, as a rule, are tenaeious., of Ipurpose, for they were cern- pilled to defend themselves and their coun- try during eenturies against a powerful neighbor, and as a resule the latent 'spirit still survives, But I do not think that the world ie any the worse because the Bruce led his army to victory at Bannockburn, and because Knot led his legione to gain the victory of a Christian reformation, for lby the prowess and influence of those men at least the germ of civil and religious liberty gained root. But how strange the muta- tions of time ! The St. Claire (now the Sinclairs) are still prominent in their native country, while their chief -the present Earl of Caithness (if he has assumed the title) is a Dakota farmer ; and, stranger still, Lord Reay, the Chief of the McKays, is a Dutchman born. • THE END. • A Card.

He is a brute, and tiger -like, kille for the sake of killing. Ohe of our natives lett here for Daniel's Kull with despatches.' He has never returned, but the rebel leader has sent wordlo one of our chieftains that he was captured and shot in cold blood. The story, as told by a supposed eye -witness, is that they tied him to e. wagon flogged him, compelled him by flogging to 'dig his own grave, and then shot him. " When these same rebels attsckei Daniel's Kuil the women and children of the village went into a church for protection. A white flag was on the building, and the enemy were told that only women and children were there. They neither respect- ed the white flag nor the sex and age of the people but fired volley after volley into the church, killed a girl and wounded two other people." -London Daily Express. feelaBti:pgetrhieTed 'lel it5F,tri 1::t10111) ;grissba°4:313:leatsr0aCift vorciilay be of benefit ansineiteellenrhstbreiltch 11;pirailchit slidei-te-pvh;oi soawfp°31:2::aei 41wreapirsenialida fal7.10::InOirErarigt me, and a little 5t, oat hgt rethhg120113131gdeween2ruaaietasnri alehtio:htula80- e a 711:1 I ice siel ati:c a oat:: 7:8hi,nYne ation was perfert afourrtinveog tehret trotalle came on, 7tigacdt toimegoantdo ntboel szsotteittkneont phoerrnmei fourth operationl ain, Febru v 31'1 Sill :9y 1,0s.wfnadl,:lscvei 43onigibpay°weerrErlmar:!iytieeiS,Innir,feiLseolferWlifailartrmbrneodiinVnestgelb:1 fering from the twhhaitchuoptro.nwlyiliz my condition 0013 feetly well. lu began the use of 1 stered Ine to awl fore known for yi what your medio gladly give you lettere /12 the boi follow my exam' strength and neW has proved such owt No discovery 11 on the blood and regulate the fun e‘trength to th eyery effort of availing.
