At this crisis in my dream, I was. again suddenly awakenedâ€"â€"this time not by the plasliing of water,biit ' by the sharp ‘spang’ of a rifle that had been fired near. ‘Jake has found the turkeys,’ thought I. ‘I hope he has taken good aim. I should like to carry one to the fort. It might be welcome at the mess-table, since I hear that the larder is not overstocked. Jake is a good shot, and not likely to miss.

Mystificd, as well as alarmed, I ,seized my pistols, and ran forward to meet him. lcould tell that he was coming towards me, and was near; but under the dark shadow of the trees his black body was not yet visible. He still continued to cry out, and I could now distinguish What he Was saying. ‘Gorramighty l Gorramighty i’ he exclaimed in a tone of extreme terror. ‘Lorl Massr Georgc,are you hurt?

Gorramighty be thanked you are not shot, Massif Why, Jake, what does it all mean 1’ At this moment, he emerged from the heavy timber, and in the open groundI had a clear view of him. His aspect did not relieve me from the apprehension that some- thing strange had occurred. He was the very picture of terror, as exhibited in a negro. His eyes were rolling in their sockets--the whites oftener visible than either pu- il or iris. His lips were white and loodless; the black skin upon his face was blanched to an ashy pale- ness; and his teeth chattered as he spoke. His attitudes and gestures confirmed my belief that he was in a state of extreme terror. As soon as he saw me, he ran ,hurriedly up, and grasped me by the armâ€"-at the same time casting fearful glances in the direction whence he had come, as if some ,dread danger was behind him ! I knew that under ordinary cir- cumstances Jake was no coward-â€" quite the contrary.

CHAPTER XX'VII. THE COUNCIL. First came thp speech of the COltlmlSSlOflCl‘. ' ’ It is too voluminous to be given in detail.

Already strange memories had ant restaurant place . ‘Thcir gloomy glances betokened [their discontent ; and from their {gestures and attitudes, it was evi- ,dent that one and all of them Were , suffering under serious apprehension. They had cause. They were no Elongcr suspected, no longer trait- ‘0rs only attainted; their treason was ‘now patentâ€"it had been declared. It was fortunate for them that Fort King was so nearâ€"â€"well that they stood in the presence of that embattled line. They might need ,its bayonets to protect them. The commissioner had by this time lost command of his temper.â€" Even oflicialdignity gave way, and he now descended to angry excla- mations, threats,and bitter invective. In the last, he was personal, call- ing the chiefs by name, and char ~'ng them with faithlcssness and fa e- hood. denied having done so, the com- missioner told him belied. Even the savage did not reciprocate the vul- gar accusation, but treated it with silent disdain. After spending a portion of his spleen upon various chiefs of the council, he turned towards the front, and in a loud angry tone cried out : ‘It is you who have done thisâ€" you, Powell 1’ Istartcd at the word.

Their effect, when combined, with all the other tints of the rainbow, shed through the stained glass windows, was somewhat remarkable; and I observed that a portly lady just be- hind me had, as the result ofa play of light, a green forehead, blue nose, yellow lips, purple chin, orange hair, His and a patch of deep violet over the Indeed, I had observed no such sterling style of ornament All at once a light broke upon anywhere else, except in the brilli- of Mr. Taylor, There were only a few who were been playing with my fancy; I Broadway.

From that moment he was possessed of real kingly power, and might command in his nation. I looked round the circle of the chiefs. A smile lit up thegentle- manly features of Holata Mico; the grim face of Hoitle-mattee gleamed with joy; the ‘ Alligator,’ ‘Cloud,’ and Arpiuckie exhibited more frantic signs of their delight; and even the thick lips of Abram were drawn flat over his gums displaying his double tier of ivories in a grin corn- f of triumphant satisfaction. ,On the ,other hapd, the Omatlas A true style of Indian hunter-life.

On the banks of the Rhine the plant is cultivated as a substitute for ‘cofi fee, and Dr Harrison contends that it possesses the fine flavour and sub- stance of the best Mocha coffee, without its injurious principle ; and that it promotes sleep when taken at night, instead of banishing it as coffee does. Mrs. Moodie gives us her experience with dandelion roots, which seems to have been of a most satisfactory nature. She first cuts the roots into small pieces, and dried them in the oven until they were brown and crisp as coffee, and in this state they appear to have been eaten. But certain it is that she ground a portion of them, and made a most superior coffee. In some parts of Canada they make an ex- cellent beer of the leaves, in which the saccharine matter they afford forms a substitute for malt, and the bitter flavour serves instead of hops. In medicine, too, it is invaluable.â€" Lody Wilkinson’s Weeds and Wild- flowers. WILD FLOWERS. The wild flower is the earliest thing of beauty which every child that treads a green field or wanders a green lane takes to itself ; it loves the flowers as it were by instinct, and this love is the best and surest portal to the, memory.
