In January the disturbing newi of Dun more'i invaaion cf Aocomt* County, wilh * host of attendant r union, provoked a wile itale of excitement. Two companie* ol ruinate- men were> nailed, marching from the village wilb flvinif color* tod drams beating tj runt the British, who, it wa* aid, were advancing upon Kingston. It was i hi 1 1 that K-itv's heart failed her. Where wai Tom ? 11 would never remain on the ll it if lien- were active service on the thorr, and the aiiitety coneei|uent upon tb* posiible nsn.t , broke finally into her former drnamjr security. Th* winter had ban very mild, naviga tion wai still open, and a light fall of mow lay on tbe ground, when, one windy morn- ing something oocnrrel that cauicd a break of excitement In the plantation routine Betty in the itore room weighing oat floor wilb her ileeves rolled np, beard the lound of voioM and negroes shouting wilb laughter, and stepped lo the long window through waijh lk oold lanlight streamed in on th* well-stored shelve*. Coming from toward th* village aoro** ihe lawn, surrounded by a crowd of negroes and half grown boy*, wtt a curious-looking man t peddler, at the could *ee by hi* paok. A brown gr**t-ooal lUpped aboat his feet, revealing baokskm breeohe* and gaiter*. The lower part of hit faoe wai hidden by a heavy growth cf beard ; and a cooked hat adorned wilh a black cockade, nob a* the patrioti wor* at their militia meeting*, wa* pulled far over the only feature plainly lo be en th* tip of a red no*e and bright greenish eye*. That he wa* something of a olown wa* evident by ihe bunt* of mirth, and in hit geiture* in exhibiting hi* paok, whioh wai bright with gay handkerohie.fi and ribbons. " Hire," bo oried," 1 have got everything to adorn, everything to beautify, and every- thing u*ef ul. besides many whimsical and odd oonondroms, suih as love-potion* and charms to ward off bad luok." "OoodLudl" simpered a pert upgro wench and boos* servant. " Yd, by my m*gio I know year name. Bymphronia, git your miitreu to buy thii Iring of blue bead*, and yoa shall marry Mr. K i/iiT's Hani next oorn- husking." There wa* a murmur ol admiring wonder at Ihi stranger's supernatural knowledge, and Hymphronia slunk, frightened, inlo the background. " litre," h* continued," I have laroenat ribbani, gaaie ribbon*, inaff boxet, 'ker- chieft becoming to dark complected people, wonderi from China, I'era, and Phila- dtlphy." " ho' de Lord, ma**a !

Aisuranoe could go no further ; it was lime for credulity to take a breathing ipaoe. Rtbbit me, d'ye think I'm a witch? No, I've never seen any o' them ere, bat I've seen their tracks." Catching light ot lietly at th* window, he nall*d out : Yt,and I've got iom* Ihlrigi that would auit th* pretty lady too, if *h'll let me show them to her." Betty, whose glann* saw deeper than ex- ternal*, told him to ootn* in, and by a gest- ure di*prr*ed Ihe open-mouthed group. Kntering the r Kim, and ssfe from peering eye*, Ihe peddler took off hi* hat, revealing the ihi awd. pockmarked visage ot Tom'i faithful factotum Peregrine.
