Baros lay in ruine around ; heaps of furniture, still smoalder- ing, also could be seen. Caston drew ap his horse and gazed as though be were sud- , denly turned to marble. But his heart best : Gercely within his breast, and as the fire shone upon his face it eppesred pale as death, from it his eyes gleamed beneath his frowning brows like coals of fire, while his . teath were tightly pressed against his blood- less lips.

THE AMERICAN TROOPER. : If the scene had been overwhelming to him 'as he viewed it at a distance, it was now tonfold more so Pictures and curtains lay trampled on tho ground, or half burnt by smouldering embers. Ornaments and cost ly work of art, such as then could seldom be seen in America, lay broken and scatter- ed on every mde. All was confusion and wild, wanton ruin ~By all that's saored '\ cried Murray ve- hemently, \whoever did this shall pay dear. The scoundrels ! the infamous villains ! ' Caston spoke not a word but walked on. Major, what do you think ! How many were there in this house !~ \But six, the old man and Calia, with the four servants.\ \Where are they now \ how came this to pass ! * A groan burst from Caston. He clench ed his hands together, and his whole frame trembled with irrepressible emotion. __ \O God* O Celia '' he groaned in a hoarse voice - \Gone ' dead ' and I not near ' tis too much !\ Be calm.

The British-\ \How could they have done it 1 No Brit ish soldiers are about here ; they are all in New York now.\ . \But who else could have done it *\ Caston replied not, but walked on in si- lence. Walking on together the two friends searched the surrounding grove narrowly and earnestly, hoping to find some living being who might tell} them of this horrid soone-hoping, they scarcely know why, that perchance they might find the unhap- py Sanford. They entered a small grove, distant about a hundred yards from the Good Heavonse ' BY JAMES DE MILLE. bnonmanel CHAPTER I1. * It was Nigut vron THs Hupson, and the Aarkness was rendered solemn by the still- ness that ruled around on every hand The stars shone gently in the sky above, where |- house, and starting, upon entering, tor the sqund of low moans became audible. \Ho listen!

A red coat met his eye among tho bushes, and a moment after ho stood bo- side a wounded English soldier. \Wrotch !' who aro you ?* how camo you not a cloud was seen, nothing but the pale , streak formed by the long line of the \milky way.\ The dark cliffs rose gradually as ever from out the river, whose black food rolling on beneath now broke against the solid rock, and then flowed on, disappeared around some sharp projection. Trees, which crowned the crest of the river's rocky shores, sast upon the scene a deeper and more sol- ema gloom. Here rose the dark fir tree with its sombre shade -there the towering pine stretched its mighty arms aloft. Here ex- tended the leng line of oaken trees, their legves rustling quietly in the gentle breeze --thero might be seen the dark shadows of groves and crohards which surrounded some country dwelling. How different was all this from the state of the land where it lay! For war and desolation were riding trium- phant everywhere. The rod of the tyrant had been laid heavily upon the people, and they had risen to fight-to sacrifice their all--to yield their lives for freedom. Yot though far the sounds of tumalt and battle were rising, bere it was yet unheard, and Hudson owed on slumberousiy-peaceful ' Soon amid the quietness and stillness low <_ sounds were heard, far away, which seemed to sppromach gradually nearer. Yet they were so far of that they could scarcely be distinguished. Amid the darkness might wiso be seen a lurid light flashing distinctly against the gloomy sky. It came from a large dwelling upon the sumit of a hill, and had long been burning, and still it blazed, With the glow of a dying firo. No peo- ple were near-no cattle could be seen -the house was burning, but there was none to axtiuguish the flames @ The low sounds became gradually louder and more distinguished as they approached; they sounded like the trampling of stoods Soon the rattling of swords could 'be heard, and occasionally a shout of encouragement from men and a neigh of excitement from the swift korses. On they came, down a road which passed under the side of & hill, and loud thundered the footsteps of the horses as they passed over a bridge which the gully at the bottom ; they cross ed and soon began to sscond toward the There were fifty men in the troop, yet their muscular forms and the swiftness and ttrength of their horses, might wall cause rer in an eneroy of double their number. The léader was a young man of not more than twenty-five. He rode a spirited horse with admirable grace, his glance was bold and dhyicalrons.
