Sergeant. "Even the ;major 'himself,

Here Pathfinder lard down his
knife and fork, and indulged in a
hearty laugh, though in his always
silent scanner; then he asked, with a
little eurios"itt in itis manner, --
"Don't you tines the akin, 'Master
Cap? don't you miss the skin;"
'It would 'have been better for its
jacket, 1 think myself, Pathfinder;
but 1 suppose it is a fashion of the
eooel. to serve up shoats iu •this

"If the skinning of it. brother, does

hope you didn't find Mabel disobed-

"Nat she, not site. If Mabel is only
half as 'well satisfied with Jasper and
Pathfinder as the Pathfinder and -las-
per are satisfied with her, Sergeant,
we shall he friends for the remainder

As the guide spoke, he turned his
eye's towards the Ibdnshittg girl, with
a sort of innocent desire to know her
opinion: and then. with an inb1rtt
delicacy, width 11111 d he was far
superior to the 11114111 desire to 'invad,'
the sanctity of feminine .feeling; he
looked a1 his plate, and seemed kt
regret his own boldness.

said Cap with some spirit, "\\'e 0111

Might he matte while 1111 sailor is

-.1y, :brother Cap, i've seen some-
thing of the opinions which seafaring
amen have of themselves," returned
the brother-in-law, with a smile as
bland as comported 'with his saturn-
ine features;"for 1 was ma11;y years
one ouf the garrison in 'a seaport, .You

ltefore, and l'nt afraid -we shall never

ier and man in ;what 1 should 'call a
state of nateri, you have only to look
at a battalion of .the 'S'Sth on parade
this afternoon, and then, when you
get back to York, examine one of the
militia regiments tanking its greatest
efforts."
'l\\''ell, to J11y eye, :Sergeant. there
is very tittle difference, not more
than you'11 find between a 'brig' and
a :mow, To ane they seem alike: all
scarlet, and feathers, anti powder, and
pipeclay.'
"So 111th, sir, for the judgment of
a sailnr,'I returned the Sergeant with
dignity; "hut perhaps you are lnot
aware .that it requires a year to teach
a true soldier haw to eat "
"Sallmatch the worse for him,. The.
militia know 'how to eat at etartinu;
for I -have often heard that, on their
starches, they commmtly eat all be-
fore them, even if they do notching
else."
"They have their gifts, I suppose.
like other amen," observed Pathfinder,
with a view to preserve the peace.

Cap undersaood the motive of

the :argtnntent until they had beets
