Evening in Seed-Time.

/ Translated fron Victor Hugo j

Peaceful and cool, the twilight gray Draws a dim curtain o’er the day, While in my cottage-porch I lurk, And watch the last lone hour of work.

The tields around are bathed in dew, And, with emotion filled, I view

An old man, clothed in rags, who throws The seed amid the channeld rows,

His shadowy form is looming now High o'er the furrows of the plough; Each motion of his arm betrays

A boundleas faith in future days.

He stalks along the ample plain, Comes, goes, and flings abroad the grain; U nuoted, through the dreamy haze With meditative sou! ]

gaze.

At last, the vapors of the night

Dilate to heav’n the old man’s height, rill every gesture ol his hand Seems to my eyes sublimely grand!

Geo. Murray,

o_oox--—

She Held the Fort. There were brave girls among the early French colonists of Canada. The

following striking instance is related of a mere child detending a fort seven days against assaulting savages : —

One October morning in 1692, the inhabitants of Vercheres, a settlement tweaty miles below Montreal, were in the field at work, There were but two soldiers within the fort. The com- mander and his wife wereabsent. Their daughter, Madeleine, a girl of 14, stood on the landing with a hired man, whea she beard firing.

‘*Run, mademoiselle! run!’ cried the man. “Here come the Iroquois !”

Looking round, the girl saw the Indians near athand. She ran for the fort, and the Indians, seeing they could not cateh her,fired at her. The bullets whistling rouod her, and “‘made the time seem very long.” 2s she afterwards said.

As soon as she neared the fort,. she evied out. “To arms! to arms!” hoping that she would get assisiance. But the two soldiers were so irightened that they had hidden in the block-house.

When Madeleine reached the gate of the fort, she found two women there erying for their husbends, who were io the fields and had just been killed. Madeleine forced them in, and shut the gate. She instantly went to examine the defence of the fort, and found that some of palisades had fallen down, leaving holes through which the enemy could easily enter.

She got what help she could and set them up. Then the little commander repaired to the block-house, where she found the brave garrison of two, one man hiding in a corner, the other with a lighted match io his hand.

“What are you going to do with that match ?” said Madeleine.

“Light the powder and blow us all up,”’ answered the soldier,

“You are a miserable coward !’’ said the girl. “Go out of this place !”

People are always likely to obey, in time of panic, the one person who shews resolution im cooluess. The soldier did as Madeleine bade him. She then flung aside her bonnet, put on a hat and took a gun.

Her whole “force” consisted of the above-mentioned soldiers her two little brothers, aged 19 and 12, and an old man of 80—and some women and children, who did nothing but set up a continual screaming, as soon as the firing commenced.

“Let us fight tothe death,” said brave Madeleine to her little brothers, who seemed to have possessed no small share of her own courage. “We are fighting for our country and our religion. Remember our father has taught you that gentlemen are born to shed their blood for the service of God and the

king.”

Madeleine now placed her brothers and the soldiers at the loop-holes,where they fired at, the Indians lurking and dodging about outside. The savages did not know how large the garrison was, and theretore hesitated to attack the fort; and numbers of them fell before the weil-directed shots of the soldiers.

The girl-commander succeeded, after a while, ia stopping the screaming of the women and children, for she was determined that the enemy should per- ceive no sign of fear or weakness; she flew from bastion to bastion to see that every defender was doing his duty ; she caused a cannon to be fired from time to time, partly to intimidate the savages, and partly in hope that the noise might convey intelligence of the situation, and bring them help.

Thus the fight went on,day after day, night efter night, the heroric girl keep- ing up her viligant exertions so con- stantly that it was 48 hours before she caught a wink of sleep.

For a whole week Madeleine held the fort, with no favouring circumstances but the stormy weather,which prevent- ed the Indians from setting fire to her wooden defences. Atthe end of that timt reinforcements cume down the river and “raised the siege.”—English paper .
