Tho old nuin had, foe corno tlmo paat,

an continually ipoken in hi hearing by
Ilawll. Conveyed in hi native tongue,

not ofu n aak to bo indulged in thin

to nothing clue; and when onco that
aound reached bla ear, it aubaidud Into

you reject the aole Mediator who
Mtanda buween you and an offended
Cod. If you worahlp tho wafer, you
make tho croaa of Chrial of noeffoct,
owning another aneiillco than that
which Cod appointed, and committing
Ukewlao the deadly aln of idolatry.
Trillo not with your aalvatlon, for you
totter on the brink of eternal llamea.
Takt with you thla warning, from one
who una bural the yoke, and know It to
bo a link of perdition." Ellen, with
tear, Implored him to tho anmo effect;
and 1 In h! 1 advanced a boat of Scripture

Tho poor fellow waa, however, Inflex
ible, though evidently dlatreaaed; and
before daybreak ho wua puat the gate,
under it written protection from
Ceneral Hamilton, which had been en-
cloaed In tho pi'leaf letter.
Tho acanty faro of the break faat-
table, waa rendered iinnulaUiblii to
thoao who Nurrouniled it, not o much
by tho tremendous sound that deafened
them, a by the dreary feeling which
Mngrath' abaenco produced. The
wounded aoldler had died In tho night,
mid Una II, who had naaliliioualy at
tended him, aeemed exhausted by
fatigue, Hhnno appeared lost In pain
ful ruminatlona; nnd tho Lndy bowlf
wit unusually cuat down, Ellen wept
a Ilryan prepared to depart, and
argued that they would loan him too;
but her brother checked the iiitifnuir-
Ing expression, reminding her that Iflr
doubt of hla continued preservation
would lai tho worat omen of their own
fulfilment., Ho urged thorn to be much
In prayer for Magrath, lis wella for

heavy heart; for in Magrath ho had
lost the voleu which always spoke some
ehoorlntf word as they crossed the
threshold.
Colonel Murray was one of the first
persons whom ho met, and ho Instantly
Inquired where Ilryan

shadow. Obtaining n promise
of
aecrecy, M'Allatcr acquainted him with
the fact, At which the colonel expressed
no small annoyance, hinting that he
questioned how far they wero juatlllod

"Why, I cannot if I would; but the

Ho many deaertlon take place, that, in

A they approached the wulla, Alder
man Crowo entiio biiatilng up, and ae
coated Hryan, "Ho, Mr. M'AUtor, your

"Indeed!" aald tho Colonel, "how I

"Why, I'll tell you now, since It' all

tirely out of personal regard for mo
