LITTLEST LITTLE.
When the new jcam come, and the old yean go,
How, little by little ell things grow I
All thing, grow—am} all decay—
Little by little palsies away.
Little by little, on fertile plain
Sipeh the harrests of golden grain,
Waving and flashing in the ton,
When the rammer at last is done.
Little by little they ripen so,
As tbe new yean come, and the old yean go.
Low on the ground an acorn lies,
Little by little it mounts to the skies,
Shadow and shelter tor wandering herds,
Home for hundred singing birds,
Little by little the great rooks grew,
Long, long ago, when the world was new
Slowly and silently, stately and tree,
Cities of coral under the sea
Little by little are butMed—while so
Thenew yean come and the old yean' go.
Little by little all tasks are done
Bo are the crowns ot tbe faithful won,
So is heaven in our heart, begun.
With work and with weeping, with laughter and
play,
Little by little, the longest day
And the longest life are passing away,
•awiag without return—while so
The new yean come and the old years go.

CHAPTER XIV.
A fat, 8rwpy-^tiiig girl, engaged
on needleworkbebind the counter, hall
rose ethis app^.ranor, and readily gave
.the ioformstioo be desired. Catherine
Street wss several turnings farther
dawn die Strand he wag walking from,
instead of toward it and, having as
certained so much, there «eemed noih
ing farther for him to do excepttopur
sue the sdviee which she had tender
ed. rt.r :i:'\.
"I hog yonr pardon," he stanjmered,
id his surprise at the manner in which
Archer had evaded him "but did I
not see a person in native costume en
ter this snop a short time ago
"The native costume repeated the
girl, at an evident loss to understand
the term "do yon mean a gentleman
dressed like a Turk, eir
"Yes, yes a black man with a tur
ban?"
"Black man, indeed I" she re
echoed, with indignant emphasis on the
noun masculine. "He ain't no more a
man than you are! A daikish gentle
man passed through this way to Ti^er
Alley he often do, if that'* what you
mean but I haven't seen no black
man here myself, whatever other peo*
fde may thiik or say And, with a
flashed and irritated countenance, she
immediately turned her attention to a
fresh customer.
Carden saw that be .had played a
wrong card. Henry Archer—if the
flying figure he had seen were he—was
evidently known.at the small green
grocer's shop bad even, perhaps, gone
the length of wbiling away his leisure
by a flirtation with the sleepy-looking
giil who took up arms BO valiantly in
defence of bis status and oomplezion.
It would be loss of time to attempt to
extract any further information from
herself. He must make the best of
what he bad obtained, and try to find
his way to Tiger Alley.
"Bless the women," he thought, as
he emerged again into the street, "they
have one good quality touch their af
fections, and they'll stick to you like
wax, and swear their •blaok men' are
*darkish gentlemen' to the end ofmembered
time. Well, inside 01 out, she could
hirdly have hit on a blacker darling
than Henry Archer. And now for
Tiger Alley."
But, on inquiry, Tiger Alley seemed
to be district more remote and less
well known than he had conceived it
possible so he hailed a cah at once,
and was driven to it at a hansom's ut
most speed and the promptitude with
which all this was done caused him to
be tended there some time before the
object ot whom be was in pursuit ar
rived. So long a time, indeed, tbat
he wandered up and down the miser
able-looking street until be was weary,
wondering it his imagination had de-Kensington,
ceived him, and the figure he had seen
was only that ot a native after all or
whether the girl at the greengrocer's
abop had wilfully misled him, and
Tiger Alley and Henry A*cher had no
oonneetion with one another.
At last, however, his patience was
rewarded—at last, when ho had nearly
given up the business as a bad job.
When he bad commenced to remember
tbat he was use 1 to such a thing as
luncheon, and that be had not seen
Mrs. Archer or the children fi-r three
days pu-t, be .espied tbe tame figure
which had attracted attention be
fore, come creeping round the corner
of tbe dirty street, as though ashamed.
B9 it well might be, of itself and its sur
roundings.
As be caught eight of it, Geoffrey
Carden, standing on the other side of
the way, called aloud tbe name ot
"Archer!" io the first impulse of
pleasure at his success, and stretched
forth a friendly hand of greeting, be
lieving that his salutation would be
followed by a grateful recognition and an
explanation 00 both sides. But
thethat
sound of his voice, the sight of his ex
tended band, had very different effect
to what be had intended. Henry Arch
er, looking np guiltily and as if by
stealth, saw only the tall figure of his
friend—the friend whom he had rob
bed, betrayed, and fled from—tho
friend who had evidently traoked him
t» England, and was hunting bim down
for the purposes of punisment and ex
posure, standing with an outstretched
aim, readytodenounce and give him
opto justioe.
ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA. THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 187J. NO. 40.
'Knowing how greatly he had injured
him, and how much he deserved at bis
hands, he could conceive no other rea
son for Geoffrey Carden following bim
from India, and waiting for him in the
wretched place which be called home,
thantotake vengeance on him' for alltrial,
that he had done amiss. And so, with
thofir-itrapid glance, Henry Archer
crouched forward like a beaten our,
and, with an oath of disappointment and
anger, fairly took to his heels. But
now it* was a race between the two for
Mr Carden, not wishing, after all his
trouble, to lose him again, made no
sample of pursuit, and tbe men ohased
each other np the length ot the narrow,
hilly street, till Archer belted inder a
low doorway and disappeared from
view.
"Here at least," thought Carden, as
be stopped before the entrance to re-the
cover breath—"here at least—unless it
is a repetition ot the greengrocer's
shop, and he escapes again by the back
door—I have tracked him to his den.
Archer he shouted up the dark stair
case, as he placed his foot upon the
threshold—-"Archer it is of no use to
attempt •ncoilment any longer. Let
me speaktoyou 1 have come to Eng
land for that purpose only. Believe
that I am a friend—"
"A friend I" repeitd a voice, de
risividy, from an open is ui nt above
him—"a friend, are you 'I I have a
iriend wor two of you one tbat
can deliver me from your power, and all
the rest of. it, at once. Did you think
you would take me alive Never 1"
And Carden had hardly had time to
step backward and realise tbat the face
so full of fiendish rage, and spite, and
hatred, which glared upon him from
the casement, was tbe face of Henry
Archer, when there was the sharp,
crisp report of a pistol—and he knew
in a moment what had happened.
His first impulse was, shudderingly,
to elose bis eyes and cover his face with
bis hand, as though in the presence of
the dead bis next, to hope that some
thing might yet be done, and, with a
loud call tor help, to rush madly up
the ereakiog staircase.
He did not enter the room alone
tenants of tbe same bouse, and people
attracted by the report ot tbe pistol
from the street, were 00 the threshold
as quickly as himself, and aided him in
raising the mutilated corpse ot the un
happy Archer.
But all their efforts were of no avail
there remained nothingtobe done but
to lay him reverenly on the bed
Wuh the best friend whom he had
ever possessed close at his elbow and
yearning to do him good—with his
wife's letters, so tardily inquired for, in
his pocket, a perusal of which would
have calmed all fears for his safety,
Henry Arcber had chosen to take the
law into his hands, and set bis wretch
ed spirit free—free from the hands of
men,tofall into those of tho living
God!
As Carden gave such orders as were
necessary for the decent disposal of the
body until it should be subjected to
the coroner's inquest, he marvelled
within himself to think why such a
life should ever have been permitted to
commence or end.
The first excitement over, he re
tbat on bim would devolve
the duty of breaking the news to tbe
young widow and, though Gecffrey
Carden was a brave man, he felt that
this was a task boyood his powers of
endurance. He could have heard that

presence ot tbe woman whom he loved,
ond calmly iufcim her that she was
freed from ihe bonds winch had O
galled her soul, and prevented him
from telling her all that was in his own,
was more than he could trust himself
to do.. And so, without going nesr
he flung himself into the
next train for Fairmead, aud, appear
ing without farther ceremony at Ashwill
Grove, considerably startled the
pio-Ash
priety ot old Mn. Buale. Bat, when
bis tale was told (i-nd that he related it
without reserve, wholly, and folly, nO
one who kneW Geoffrey Carden could
discredit,) the whole lace of affairs was
changed for Eugenia Areber. He
made no reservations io the very pres
ence of the mother of Mrs. Lennox he
gave the history of the forged letter
and Captain Oswald's testimony, finish
ing up with an account of tbe poor
wife's devotion to the unhtppy object
whose life he bad just seen ended. The
»tery of "Do Mun," the journeys to
Lon ion, tbe excitement about her let
tcr—every unhtppy circumstance
which with the treachery of Antoinet
te, had conspired to east suspicion on
the unfortunate Eugenia, was now
ox-very
plained away by tbe story which her
friend had brought them. And even
Mrs. Beale, indignant as she was at the
remarks passed on the conduct of her
eldest daughter, could not hut agree
that the proper thing to be done was
Marion should go at once to
aid ot her wi lowed sister, and help her,
with all her power,tobear the shock
whioh awaited her.
And so Mr. Carden conducted Mrs.
Elliot back to London,and before night
fall Eugenia was in her sister's arms,
and there was nothing farther of theto
wretched story to reveal to her. That
she felt it bitterly, there "is no doubt
the shook and the disgrace of her hus
band's death were sufficient to over
whelm her, had no grief and. self-re-
proach been mingled with them by her'
tender consoience. Bat Marion was a
godsend to her bravely did she, with
Mr. Carden's help, stand between
Eugenia and all outwsid annoyances
during the first few bitter hoars of her
and between them they managed
to get her away from London before
the inquest and burial took place, and
to save her much of the misery to
whioh she would have been subjected
by a perusal of the story as it appeared
in the daily newspapers. And in a
sea-side place—far from London, from
Fairmead, and from Southmere, out of
the sight of Geoffrey Carden's pleading
glances, of the sound ot her mother's
lamentations, or Antoinette Lennox's
spiteful insinuations, tended by the
love of her sister Marion, cheered by
the society of Amy Elliot, and happy in
company of- her little children—
Eugenia Archer dwelt for twelve peace
ful months, while a prospect in the fu-ing
ture—a prospeet of renewed hope, and
love, and joy—grew more rosy, and
more assured with every passing hour.
It was Christmas again—Christmas
two years later still—that is to say, ittbe
was Christmas in merry England, where
the rich were grumbling over the price
of coals, and paupers were shivering
without ooals at all, and little children
were crying over their chilblains and
incessantly blowing their frosty little
uosesjbut it felt and looked little
nough like Christmas on board the
I steamship Aurora, bound for Calcutta,
as she glided up the dark-blue waters of
the Red Sea.
A heavenly night: above, the skymade
studded with innumerable stars below
the waters spread out infinitely like a
smooth, deep, unfathomable lake
around, the balmiest and most silent ot
atmospheres, and, by the time of earth,
eleven o'oloek.
Most of the passengers of the Aurora
are in their berths and fast asleep, for
the day has been long and tho unusual
heat is trying only a few linger, such
f.w as feel the'continual presence of an
unsympathizing crowd a check upon
their intercourse, who still have some
thing new to eay to one anuher, and
love to say it when alone with the safe
ftars and the unechoing winds of heav
en. And of such few, a couple—man
and woman—stand close together at the
steamer's prow, watching the line of
light which the moon leaves upon tbe
waves, and reading ia each other's
silence an eloquence too deep for words.
"What are you thinking of, mysiah
deatest 7" at last he says.
"I was watohing how these little
frothy waves, caused by the working
of our engine, rush past the vessel and
melt upon the open sea, only' to be
succeeded by as many more, like
troubles on life's sea, which are ever
rising and ever falling, but pass away,
and are so soon forgotten, if we have
bat patience
"And which religon gilds, my dar
ling, as the moon's light gilds the wa
ters. But I trust your troubles are all
past and gone."
&he pressed up closer to him.
"If not, I have you to share them
with me, Geoffrey for I do not suppose
that Heaven intends that trouble shall
entirely pass away until we do so our
selves."
"How now! what is this ?—a tear
Have you been thinking of, and re
gretting, tbe little ones at home,
Eugenia
"Oh, no They are so happy and so
well under tbo care of my dear sister
Marion that I feel they have every
tbing I could desire. Besides, you
promised that I ehall very soon
see them agtin.
"And you have perfect faith in all
my promises, Eugenia
"As 1 have in Heaven," she answer
ed, fervently.
"Well, then, what is it discomposes
you tonight Tiny and Mopsy are safe
beneath Aunt Marion's wing, and Mrs.
Beale is made happy by the company
A her dear Antoinette (in whom no one
ever believe again but herself,) at
Grove and Mr. and Mis Geof
frey Carden are on their way to Calcut
ta, hopingtosee England again in a
couple of years, at most. Are you not
oontent to begin anew life, my dar
ling?"
"With you I O Geoffrey, how can
you ask it and after all I have gone
through 7"
"Jell me, then, the reason of this
horrid little tear, which had no busi
ness at all on my wife's cheek."
"It is—it is—because I am so very,
very happy, Geoffrey and I am afraid
suon happiness can never last."
"Then yon are wrong, Eugenia," he
said tenderly, as be east his arm pro
tectingly about her. People who have
known trouble in their early days are
apt, when the sun shines upon
them, to think, as yon do now, tbat it
is quite by accident, and that the clouds
in due course must return again They
forget that this, the happiness which
springs from a pure life and mutual
love, is the lot which God originally
for all of us, and that, when
His merciful designs are overthrown, it
is by wrong done on our own part, or
that of others. Believe me, dearest,
when I say tbat your first experience
of life was an unnatural one, and that
this now opening before yon promises
be the portion most consonant With
Nature, and tbe end our Maker had in
view when He created us. You would
not mar the blessings which He extends
to us by unnecessary forebodings, Eu-
theordained
..
She did not answer hint in words,
but he felt the warm, close pressure of
her hand, and was satisfied that she
agreed with him. At that moment a
sailor lit the red lamps at the vessel's
prow, which east a roseate glow on the
fast-running sea.
"God bless my wife I" said Geoffrey
Carden, solemnly "and, whatever lies
before her, may the waters of her life
be always lighted by the glory of His
love!"
THE END.
A BACK FOB LIFE.
A Remialeeenee of Fort SaelliaC.
BT BBS. OHABXOTTS 0 TAB 1
From CUUcliont ofVuMitautoia BUUnrical Society.
Like tbe old man in Dickens' "Child's
Story," "I am always remembering
come and remember with me."
I elose my eyes and recall an even
some forty-two years ago, when, in
one of the stone houses near Fort Soel
ling, whieh was our house at that time,
a pleasant company of officers and their
families were spending tbe evening wuh
my parents. The doors were open, for
weather was warm, and of one the
officers, Captain Cruger, was walking
on the piazza, when we were all startled
by the sound of rapid firing very near
us. The Captain rushed into the
houre much agitated, exclaiming 'That
bullet almost graced my earl' What
could it mean were the Indians sur
rounding us
Soon tbe loud yells and shrieks from
the Indian camp near our house made
it evident that the treaty of peace,
that afternoon between the Sioux
and Chippewas, bad ended, as all these
treaties, in treachery and bloodshed.—
The principal men of the two nations
had met at the Indian Agency, and in
the pteeenooof Major Taliaferro, their
'White Father,' had made a sobmn
treaty of peace. In the evening, at
the wigwam ot the Chippewa chief
they had ratified this tteaty by smoking
tbe pipe of peace together aod then,
before the smoke of the emblematic
pipe had oleared away, the treacherous
Sioux had gone out and deliberately
fired into tbe wigwam, killing and
woundiog several of the unsuspecting
inmates. The Chippewas, of course,
returned the fire, and this was what bad
broken np the pleasant little party at
my father's house.
The Chippewas sought refuge and
protection within the walls of the fort,
commanded at that time by Col. J«-
Snelling, from whom it was named.
They were kindly cared for. One, a
little girl, daughter of the Chief, exci
ted muoh sympathy, and I cannot for
get the interest I felt in her,
for she was but a year or two old
er than myself, and it seemedtome
cruel to ruthlessly oat out her young
life. She lingered but a few days in
great agony, and then God took her
out of her pain.
Meanwhile our Colonel, a prompt
and efficient officer, demanded of theing
Sioux the murderers, aod in a very
few days a body of Sioux were seen
advancing toward the fort, as was sup
posed, to deliver np the criminals.—
Two companys were sent out to meet
them and receive the murderers at their
bands. Strange to say, although tbey
had the men, they refused to give them
up. Our interpreter, I cannot recall
his name, stepped out from among our
soldiers, and said
"If you do not yield up these men
peaceably, then as many leaves as are
on these trees, and as many blades
of grass as you see beneath your feet,
so many white men will come upon you,
burn your villages, and destroy your
nation."
A few moments consideration, a
few hurried words of conversation, and
the guilty men we handed overtoout
troops. Tbe trbe followed as they were
taken into the fort, and making a small
fire within the wall, the condemned
marched round and round it, singing
their death songs, ahd then were giv
en up to be pat in irons and held in
custody until time should determine
bow many lives thould pay the forfeit
for it is well known that Indian re
venge is literally a life for a lfie, aod
the Colonel had decided to give them
ioto the hands of the injured tribe, to
do with them as tbey would.
Some weeks passed, and it was found
that five lives were to be paid for 10
kind. A council of Chippewas deci
ded tbat the five selected from the pris
oners should run the gauntlet, and tbe
decision was approved.
Back over the lapse of these many
years I pass, and seem to be a child
again standing by the side of my only
brother, at the back door of my father's
boose.
Tbe day is beautiful, the sun is so
bright, the grass is so green, all nature
is so smiling, it is hard to realise what
is going on, over yonder by the grave
yard, in that crowd of men and women.
There are gathered together the Chip
pewas, old men, women and children,
who have come out to witness or take
part in this set of retributive justice.—
There sre the blue-eoats, too, and vari
ous badges of tbe United States uni
forms, for it is necessary to throw some
restraint around these red men, or
there would be wholesale murder and
home on the shoulders of the young
men, we see the form of the wounded,
dying chief, regarding all with calm
satisfaction, and, no doubt, happy in
tbe thought tbat his death, so near, will
not go unavenged. And there stand
the young braves who have been select
ed as tan executioner* their rifles are
loaded and looks carefully examined,
and til is ready when the word saJl be
given.
There,toounder guard, sre t'uo five
men who are to pay the forfeit of the
lr*-s taken so wantonly and so treach
erously.
Awsy off, I cannot tell howmey tnis,
but it seems to us children a locg rin,
are stationed the Sioux tribe, and that
is the go which t'..., ^stoned cie:
must run for their lives.
And now all seems ready, and we
stand on tiptoe, while the balls aad
chains are knocked off and the c-% lives
are set free. At a word oba oi t'a«

comes down—dead! I cover my kca
and shed tears of real sorrow &•: 0—•
friend. And now follows a.sccad u.
e^gars description. The bodies, all
warm and limp, are dragged to tae
brow of the hill. Men who, at x~e
sight of blood, became fiends, tear of
the reeking scalps and hand them to the
chief, who hangs them around I's
neck. Women and children, with
tomahawks aad knives, cut deep gas
es into the poor bodies, and scooping
up the warm blood with their hai-us,
eagerly drink then, growing fret ',
they dance and sing their horrid scilo
songs, recounting the deeds of valor
the part of their brave men, and tellio
ot the Sioux scalps taken at their.
horrid feast, they leave the mutikted
bodies festering in the sun.
At nightfall they are throua iato
the river,-and my brother and myself,
awet-truck ani quiet, trasejtheir hideoi.3
voyage down the Mississippi to tTie
Gulf of Mexico. We lie awake thrt
night talking of the dreadful sight V73
have seen and we. try to think wb.?
the people of New Orleans will s^y
when they see those ghastly apturcci
faces and we talk with quivering lip
and tearful eyes of Little Six, and the
many kind things he has done for us,
the bows and arrows, the moeaaks of
sugar, th« pretty beaded moccasins he
has given us and we wish, oh, wish
he could have run faster, or that tbo
Chippewas' rifles had missedfire.And
we sleep and dream of scalps and VLZZA
war-whoops and frightful yelis, zv.l
wake wishing it had been a dream.
Next day the daring chief eat op la
bed, painted himself for his death, san^

singularly modest and bashful that

D'ye think I may take one, my bon.v.j

"Just as ye like, John," said she, "cm
