“ Hallo, Hurt Swannick l" t xvlaimed t‘apt. ‘ Speer. the leader of the " brigade" nt‘ trapv .pcrs; “ here's uyuung gentleman who has‘ been enquiring afteryou. \l'hu'vo you got there?"

“ Jean l‘nirlcnu. lli-‘s called Old I’rt'nchy."

" I‘m glad you‘ve caught him. Home of us want to have a settlcniciit with him."

“ Hold on till I get through with him first." I'm takiit' liitti to Ili-ni ing‘s fort. ll'you are guiii‘ that way. you art to hurry. 't‘ittlst: the red skins are trying to take the fort."

The order was given to hurry. and the old , hunter mounted Barteau on a horse, nttd thef party started off at a gallop toward the supvl post-d scene of conflit t.

In a short time the rapid riding ofthe hand brought theta in sight of llcnning‘i fort, and they at once perceived that the plain atnmnl it was covered with s vagcs, who were in pur- suit ofu mounted white man.

" That‘s Jt‘rlllfl .‘Iltssull, shore," muttered llartcau. as be calm in view of the scene. “ He’s got into it scrape. Jest as he tliorl, ntid now he is bound to la- rubbed out. T'ar‘s spunk in him, by thuialerl Wal, I reckon that‘s ilie best thing he could licv done.”

The old t‘ellow's Illrl, rctlectioii was caused by seeing Mussun raise it plstol alul shoot himself through tlni head, before his enemies CJIIIKI'SCIZL' him. The lllackt‘rct, at the same moment, frightened by the approaching white men, wheech and rode on toward the cast, «leaving the body ot'Musson lyingon the plain.

when the trappers n achch the scene of the suicide, the body of Alttsslin was placed on a horse, and the party llllslt‘llud on to the fort. as it w a growing dark. The gates were thrown open by Major Ilcniiing. who welcom- cd them most cordially. ’I‘o Jeannette the major was very deferential, assisting her to alight front her horse, atid treating her with an unusual tenderness. Mrs. Ilt-nning wel- comcd her with itiany kind greetings, and was overjoyed at. the recovery of Annette.

After breakfast the next morning, when Major llcnning and his wife, with Madame, Lnbardic, Iter children, and George Searh- were seated iii conversation, Ilart Swaimiek catered the room, bringing in dealt Ihirteau, whose demeanor now showed that ho was thoroughly cowed.

" What do you want, Swaimick? Why do you bring that tiniit iii here 't" asked the major. observing that Madame Labardie shuddnrcd, and drew Annette closer to her side.

“'I‘har's suthin' I want to git fixed up, ma- jor," replied the hunter. “ I‘ve got a crooked kind of an idcc ilito my head, titidl tlluw that you an‘ Old Frenchy kin help me straighten it out.”

“ What do run mean? What have I to do with that titan 'I"

“More'n yoil think for, I reckon. Didn‘t you loose a lcctle gal. some seventy-five or» thirty year ago, when yoti were sogerin'down‘v on the Platte? '

“ I did loose a little girl many years ago," cagcrly replied the major. " I supposed she was drowned iii the l'latte."

“ I reckon she warn‘l: drowned that time. I war passin‘ nigh the fort one evenin‘, when I seed Old b‘reney here—though he was a young chap then—hurrying dawn to the river with a little gal in his arms. When he got to the river he tore otl'some of tho gals tlxiii's and flung 'eni into the WIIlt'I‘. Then he jump- ed on his hose with her and rode off like it struck. l war afoot then, and feared to go nigh the fort, ‘cause I hecrd that you wore pressin‘ mountain men, and it \varn‘t none of my mix, nohuw. When I hecrd thatyon had lost a Icetle gal, this tldiik got kinder kinked up in my head, and yesterday ‘I allow'd that I had better fetch Old Frencby in here to you, to straighten it out. "

“ How was the child dressed?" asked Mrs. llcnning.

“ I warn't nigh enough to soc, ‘ccptin‘ that it had on a mighty purly red dress."

“ It was my ch' Did you ever learn what became of Ilt

“I hecrd that Jean Ilarteau had a girl ilt St. Louey that he called his'n, and it kinder kinkcd up iii my head that it was the stone."

“It was the saiiiel Jeannette, I have felt as a. mother toward you since you came to us first, and now I kiiuw that yoti are lily child. Thank God, whoso wayn are too wonderful for us to find out !"

“ I mought as well say that you are right on that point," broke in Ilartean. “ I did hope to Iiev some case and comfo‘t iii my old age, but I reckon thar ain‘t mun-Ii old age left to me now. You paidaliigli price for lloggin’ tile, major. "

The major was only restrained from inflict- ing summary punishmet t upon the offender, by the intercession: of Madainu Labardie and Annette; and he fltially consented, not only to turn Bartenu loose. but to send hint away without the knowledge ofthe trappcrs.

“ Old Frenchy" was never again heard of. It is probable that he soon fell a. victim to the fury of the Blackfeet, : r to the wrathof some trapper who had a grudge against him.

“There is one thing I atit glad of." said George Searlc, “ I am glad ‘mdecd tluitI shall not be obliged to present to tho Revert-ad

How To TI-ZS'I‘ Yot'a FRIEND‘L—I \vccdcd my fricnds," said an eccentric old man, " by lounging,t a piece of stair- carpct out of my first door window, with a. broker‘s announcement tdlixcd. It had the desired clfcct. I soon saw who were my friends. It was like firing a, gun near a pigeon-house: they forsook the building at the first report, and l havc not had occasion to use the extra tlaps of my dining table since.”

Choosing a Location for Life.

The editor of the Maine Former says on the subject, that it is certainly an im- portant question to a young man where he shall locate. If he is to be it farmer, we will advise him were not to go. Do not go where the land is poor. Better seek some spot on earth that produces abundantly as the reward of faithful toil. l’oor land will keep one always poor. There is an abundance of laiid every- where \vitliin s few day's truch which can be had at a. cheap rate.

livery young won, as soon as he is cut loose from home, looks around for a place which be can call hiscwn. Some require a longer time than othcrs. 'l'oo many young men at this present day arc like the lobster, which appears to swim about in fresh ocean for a time before he can decide to make it home nniong the rocks along the shore. 'lhe best part of life is too often squandrcd in this way, and after ti term of years they find them- selves without funds to make a home, with habits so fixed or rather unlixcd, as almost to forbid their devotion to phys- ical labour. If a man has abundant capital. he may look on and see his hired men work, and be delighted with his agriculture machinery, uiid not be oblig— cd to labour much with his hands. lint where a. man's hands are his only capital they should be strong as iron.

If a man finds himself broken down by disease, he must seek some cniployincnt that will bc the least injurious to hitti- sell, and hope to recover hisliculth. \Yc do not ordinarily ndvisc such a man to go on to a farm unless he has a compet- ence. For a man with a competency it is the world, especially if he has been hard pressed with meacantilc ur profes- sional life. Moderate labor is the best antidote for such It man, but it; should not be a principal means ofsupport.

Goon AI)YICE.—A practical farmer writes : “ One of the greatest draw- backs, and I may say the greatest, to our fainting interests, is the Yankee idea of doing everything by turns and nothing thoroughly. The practice of changing from one branch of farming to another, as prices and profits very, is a ruinous one. A few years ago wool commanded a high price, and the result was a rush into sheep-keeping. Animals were sold then from five to six dollars, that would be considered of no account ao'iv except for their pclts. The buyer knew nothing about sheep, her where their farmers adapted to the keeping ofthcni; but

Charles such a disreputable gl‘lllltlfltlllcY-llt- law as old Bartenu would have been."

" What do you mean ‘r” inquired the major. “ Do you expect to marry Annette."

“ That is the point of the joke, air."

“ You had better get my consent. She is very young, and you will have to wait a long time. "

George Scarle waited only a year. and then he wrote to inform his highly-respectable fa- therthathe had married the granddaughter of another Iiighly-rcspectablc gentleman of the old school, tianicd Major Wm. lIenning.

The watchmakcr, after cxaniing it said, “ it will be more cxponco repairing it titan its original cost.” “ I don't mind that," said tltc tar; “ I will ivivc you double the original cost, for I gave a fellow a blow on the head for it, and it" you repair it I will give you two."

“ \Vhat did you come here after ?" in- qttircd Miss Susan Nipper, ofa bachelor friend who made her a call when the rest of the people were gone out. “ I came to borrow some matches." he nieckly rc- plied. “ Matches! that's a vcry likely story. “'hy don't you make a match? I know what you came for," cxrlaiiiied the delighted miss, as she crowded the old bachelor in a corner, “you came to kiss and hug me almost to death, but you slian't———witliout you are the strong. cst, and every body know you are."

A gentleman anxious to ascertain the effect of transplanting at night, made an experiment, with the following result; lIc transplanted ten cherry trees when in bloom, commencing at. four o'clock in the afternoon, and transplanting (ach one hour, until one in the morning. Those transplanted during the daylight shed their blossoms, producing littlo or no fruit; while those planted during the darker portion maintained their condition fully. He did the same with ten dwarf pair trccs, after the fruit was one-third grown. Those transplanted during the day shed their fruit; those transplanted during thc'niglit pcrfcctcd their crop, and showed no injury front having been removed. With each of these trees lic removed some earth with the roots.

(‘out'osrlxa .\It‘cK.—»\Vc cannot too strongly impress upon farmch the great advantage of compcs‘ing muck with any rank manure. Usc night soil, hog man— ure, hen manure, fish guano, and the mutual action of one upon the other will produce a fertilizer greatly supniior to muck alone. The organic matter in muck is very similar to the vegetable, matter that. makes up the built of stable manure, and the addition of a lltllc rank matter containing ammonia will change a load ofmuck to manure as valuable as

that which comes from fartnyards.
