It is now mors than a hundred years since young Lieutenant Ileins, in the service of His Majesty th King ot England, full head over heels in love with a beautiful girl, the daughter of a country 'squire ia ne of th shires near London. The attachment seemed to bo reciprocated, and the young officer trusted hi betrothed with a confidence worthy a better woman, for the young lady, having many admirers and heme somewhat of a coquette, at leuzth fell a victim to a designing aad worthless scamp, who managed ono -day. by submitting false proofs of her lover's dialoyalty, to induce her to elope with him.

It waa ia this service that, hall' reckless of his lite, he exhibited daring and bravery which gained for him the rank of Major. It was also in this service that ho discovered the grandeur and beauty of the groat lakes and their bordering scenery, and it was here that he resolved, when his commission should expire, to live the remainder of bia day away from the world. Borne years afterward, when he bad secured hi release from the service and was about to put his resolution into effect, having been allotted a pension, ho received one day from Montreal a letter bearing the postmark of bis old English home. The letter proved to have been dictated, and was to the effect that hi former betrayed and deserted by her husband, waa on her death-bed, but could not die without again seeking bis forgiveness, and ended by committing to bis care ber two daughters, aged twelve and fourteen respectively, and imploring him to watch over them for her sake. He hesitated, but the old name still burned ia his heart, as it does ever ia a man's heart for a wayward love, and the next day found him on his way to old England, which he had determined never to see again.

He bad imagined the children destitute, and that consideration hod also had its weieht in his conclusion to protect them. Imagine his surprise to team, after a sbort greeting, that tha estates or their mother'a father. willed away at the time of their mad marriage, now came back to them through the aeatn oi tne reiauve so wnom Biey were mil, and the inheritance amounted to 6.0uo. It was one day alter securing his official appointment as guardian of the girls that a strange thought came to him. He wonld take his wards to America.

Bo, calling the two beautiful girls to him, the eldest a tall blonde, just budding into womanhood, he unfolded to them a glowing plan, to which the girls made no objection, aad within two weeks the party sailed for Montreal, whence tho three journeyed to tot. josepa isiaoa, in the Mary's Kiver. and settled for life. Whether the sequel was foreseen in Major Reins' mind whea the idea carae to him that dav in England is to be guessed at. Certainly a like course with their mother years before would have made his life different.

He was the only white man in the region, and the events which followed showed that the girls had ao longing for other society.

I was sitrint? in my warm and weH-lirfrted study ia Jersty City oa wild winter' night a few years ao.

A loud ring at the door-bell intexmpted my consulting a medical work, and presently th servant announced that a man at th door wished to see me. It was a learful night. 4 The rain was falling ia torrents a I hastened to th door to discover oa what errand any visitor had braved the storm to see me. It most be something important tha mad him call ai out on such a In the light of a hall-lanrp I saw man of rough but powerful ram standing aa th doorstep. 1 at one rexjueetod him to com ineid out of the rain.

He hesitated for a moment, aad then, jerking hie thumb behind him, said, with a strong Irtish accent: "Arrah, sure there' two US." "Well, then," said "com both of yon inside: you'll get drowned if you stay out there any longer." As I spoke th second individual, of still more gigantic proportions, emerged from the darkness, and I invited bota men into any flic. 1 saw at a glane that I was in thepreeene of no ordinary characters. Both men were veritable giants, and aeemed to make fizbt ef the storm, although dripping wet. I waa curious to know lb nature of the errand that induced them to seek on wild a night.

I began to suspect that ther waa some-thin? crooked in th business, and closely eyed th two men for a moment.

I never saw two more desperate-looking ruffian in my life. I was about to decline having any thing to do with the matter, but thought my ref usal might be the signal for a personal attack.

That'll be security enough. We'r got th money to pay ye all right.1" I put the money and the watch in my desk and locked it, and said "All right, my men, I'll go with yon." I neither asked tho fellows their names, addresses nor occupations, because I saw plainly they wouldn't givom any inform, fion, and besides, it might be awkward for me, in tha long run, to know too much about them. 1 put oa my great eoat, took my cas of surgical appliances, to ere thes 'With the usual remedies for treatment of gunshot wounds, and accompanied the men into th bowling storm outaud. In all my practice, us a physician I think I never experienced a more desperate storm. I waa dreadfully cold, and aa we trudged along toward Weehawken.

the mem being on cither side of me, the soaking rain was blown our frees with all the vehemence of a hurricane. Nobody spoke a word. If th men bad even wished to speak their voice would have been lost in the roar of the tempest. It was a foul night, lit only for desperate deeds. I thought once or twice I heard footsteps closo behi ud oa, but a backward glance revealed nothing, lor the darkness could be cut with a kail.

After a tramp of soma three miles both men simultaneously tamed abruptly toward th river. Moving cautiously along th wharf we discovered steps leading dowa into the water. The taller of uie two men went down first. He caught the breast of my coat and with a grip of iron almost lifted mo off my feet as he guided roe down the stairway. His companion followed close behind.

At a signal from one of tho men a boat with mulled oars touched the steps where we stood, and in another minute I waa literally lifted into it. I could discover the figures of four men who bandied the oars. Th three of na were no sooner seated than the boat shot like an arrow into the very teeth of the storm. jSot a word was spoken by any one. It was a most mysterious adventure lor me to find myself a boat at midnight, in company, with six unknown men, flying through tit water with all the strength of eight herculean arms.

I kept quiet. I felt it waa as much aa my life waa worth to utter a word. Whether the boat' waa going over to Xew York, or up the Hudson, or down to the Bay, it was impossible to say. Thee follows seemed to know their own business well enough. The only sounds were tho roaring of the water and the steady throb of the oars.

la less than half an hour from leaving th wharf; I aaw right ahead of us looming in the darkness th outlines of a vessel, hull, masts and rigging, lying at anchor the river. A signal from one of the men- in tlie boat produced a reply from tae outlook on board the ship. A bull's' eye lantern was flashed upon as a moment and then the ship's ladder was lowered to enable ua to get oa board. Tho mystery was growing deeper than ever. Was this a duel or an attempt at murder or the result of an attempted mutiny I was almost carried up th ladder by my companion, and soon reached th deck.

1 fouad that, notwithstanding the storm outside, every thing waa warm and cozy within. I was introduced to the captain, a resolute, devil-may-care sort of a ellow, and to aa tough a set of ruffians a I have ever seen either -bet ore or alter. The met waa I was oa board a pirate vessel, manned and owned by th river thieves of New York harbor. Thes men "knew the risks of their calling, and deliberately accepted them. of society, an endlesa war with the harbor police, they neither gave nor asked quarter.

Expecting death themselves at any moment, they were ready to shoot down any one who attempted to oppose them in their piratical raids on the wharves of tha citv. I inquired for my patient, and a'conpt of men camea ram out oi ma uuxiik. ana iaia him on the cabin table. Several rather pretty women lived on board the vessel, and one of these, acting cs nurse, had bauuaeed too wound. 1 found that wounded man had been one of a party caught by the police that eveninz in operation on a wharf, and in the firing that took place he had been shot in the breast and the bullet had penetrated as as the should tr blade.

He was a powerful fellow, and made light of his injury. I simply used my linger as a probe, and although I twistcd'it round in the wound pretty freely be never winced. Locating the billet, I turned hira oa his face aud drilled a hole through the scapula and removed it. I dressed the wound, and he was carried back to his bunk aain. The captain, without saving a word, handed me my lee, I was invived to stay for supper, and a sumptuous repast was served.

Those fellows live like lords on the booty abstracted from the piies of commerce brought hither from every part of the world. Chests of tea, bales of silks, cases of jewelry, rare winea, cigars, every thing tiiat is valuable is taken possession of and quickly turned into cash or u.cd in revels oa board ship.

Sheridan was full of admiration for the bravery and gallantry of the French, whom be pronounced aa fine soldiers as on could wish to see. He said that they were not properly officered in their war with the Prussians, and he plainly intimated that it waa to this fact that th Germans owed their success. The General said ho was strongly of the opinion that the time was rapidly approaching when even the richest nations will not able to afford to go to war. This will be due to the discovery of.
