It was a cunning manceuvre, worthy | of a war party of indians aud told us we had no common deal with. By approachiog us from that direction, they would have a decided advantage ; our aim would be spoiled by the suub— bow horizon, and | gleamiug right io our eyes, My com- | pani ‘os were wroth at the trick that had been thus played so adrietly ; though we | could not have hindered it even it fore-

We were allowed but little time to re- flect upou the matter; we saw by the movements of the horsemen that they were prepariug to charge. One who appeared to be the leader, mounted upon a larger horse than any of the rest, was) He rode aloug the line |

addressing them. sperking in a loud tone, aud gesticulating violea ly; he was answered with vivds, | which we could plain'y hear. Every | moment we looked to see them gallop | forward.

We knew there was no alternative but fight or surrender, though not one of us entertained an idea of the latter; for myself, I should as soon have thought of turning my pistol to my own head. My | uniform, tattered as it was, would easily | reveal my charaeter to the enemy; and, if captured, | knew I should be hung, or perhaps, ia the absence of trees, shot down upon the spot. My comrades had reasons for knowing that their shrift would be equally short: neither thought for a moment of tamely yieldiug.

Ingersoll at the Grave.

A few days age “Col. Bob” [ngersoll, the notorious American infidel, spoke request, as follows at the open grave ofa child in the Washiagton Ceme- tery :—

My Friends—I know how vain it is to gild a grief with words, and yet I wish to take from every grave its fear, Here in this world, where life and’ death are eqnal kings all should be brave enough to meet what all the dead have met. Thefuture has been filled with fear, stained and polluted hy the heartless past. From the won- drous tree of life the buds and blos- sems fall with ripened fruit, and in the common bed of earth the patriarchs and oabies sleep side by side.

Why should we fear that which will

come to all that is? We cannot tell, | we do not know, which is the greater |

blessing—life or death. We cannot say that death is not good. We do not know whether the grave is the end of this life or the

whether the night where else a dawn.

Every cradle asks us “Whence?” and avery coffin “Whither?” The peor bar barian, weeping above his dead, can answer these questions as intelligently and satisfactorily as the robed priest of the most authentic ereed. The tearful ignorance of the one is just as censol- ing as the learned and unmeaning wards of the other. No man, standing where the horizon of a life is touched agrave, has any right prophesy a future filled with pain and tears. It may bet hat death gives all there is of worth to life. If these we press and strain against our hearts could never die, perhaps that love would wither from the earth. May be this commen fate treads from out the paths between our hearts the weeds of selfishness and hate, ane [ rather live and love where death is king, than have eternal life where love is not. Another life ia naught uniess we know and love again the ones who love us here.

But it was pot my | first fight against large ofds, beth Indieu and Mexican; and on that account I re- garded it the less seriously.

I felt certain, therefore, that should the horsemen charge upon us, only nine of the twelve would ever come | within pistol-shot, and for that distance | we were all prepared. I carried in my | belt a six chambered revolver, one of | Colt's best; Garey had another—a pre-| seut I had made him many years before | —aud Rube was armed with a_ pair of | stout single barrels, like enough to do good service.

** Seventeen shots! wi’ our bowies to fall back upon!” cried Garey trium- | phaatly, as we finished a hasty survey of our arms. |

As yet the enemy did not advance ; | notwithstaudiug their vivas and ejacula- tiovs, they appeared to hesitate about charging) Their leader, and another—a lieutenant, perhaps—were still seen rid- ing along the line, as if animating them by further speech, and giving them orders hew to act.

Meenwhile, we had not been idle; we had formed square to receive the charge! You may

smile, but such was in reality the case. We had formed square—with our horses! There were four of them, for the wild horse counted one. Garey, who rode like a Comanche, had broken him at our last camp, aud he was now perfectly tractable, ‘The shake of a lazo reudered him docile as a lamb.

The four were tied head to head, and croup to croup, and each formed one side of the square. They could not have broken it even under a charge of cavalry; bridles must be united or cut, and lazoes set loose, before that formation could be destroyed !

Within stood we, frenting our foes— the large horse of Garey forming our barricade—our heads and feet alove visible to tho enemy,

Thus did we await their onset,
