**This issue of Mr. Prescott's Historical Works is the only cheap one that contains, without the slightest abridgment, all the Notes of the original octavo American editions.

"To Mr. Prescott belongs the rare distinction of uniting solid merit with extensive popularity. He has been exalted to the first class of historians, both by the popular voice and the suffrages of the learned. His fame also is not merely local, or even national, it is as great in London, Paris, and Berlin, as at Boston, or New York. His works have been translated into Spanish, German, French, and Italian; and into whatever region they have penetrated, they have met a cordial welcome, and done much to raise the character of American letters and scholarship."-Whipple's Essay.

"Prescott's works, in point of style, rank with the ablest English historians; and paragraphs may be found in which the grace and elegance of Addison are combined with Robertson's cadence and Gibbon's brilliancy."Athenæum.

vide retreats for her veterans. Still, Mike had an ample pension for wounds, and could not be said to be in want. He had suffered in the same battle with Joyce, in whose company he had actually been Corporal O'Hearn, though his gallant commander had not risen to fight again, as had been the case with the subordinate.

Wyandotté exhibited still greater changes. He had seen his threescore and ten years; and was fast falling into "the sere and yellow leaf." His hair was getting grey, and his frame, though still active and sinewy, would have yielded under the extraordinary marches he had once made. In dress, there was nothing to remark; his ordinary Indian attire being in as good condition as was usual for the man. Willoughby thought, however, that his eye was less wild than when he knew him before; and every symptom of intemperance had vanished, not only from his countenance, but his person.

From the moment Willoughby appeared, a marked change came over the countenance of Nick. His dark eye, which still retained much of its brightness, turned in the direction of the neighbouring chapel, and he seemed relieved when a rustling in the bushes announced a footstep. There had not been another word spoken when the lilacs were shoved aside, and Mr. Woods, a vigorous little man, in a green old age, entered the area. Willoughby had not seen the chaplain since they parted at Albany, and the greetings were as warm as they were unexpected.

"I have lived a sort of hermit's life, my dear Bob, since the death of your blessed parents," said the divine, clearing his eyes of tears; now and then cheered by a precious letter from yourself and Maud-I call you both by the names I gave you both in baptism-and it was 'I, Maud, take thee, Robert,' when you stood before the altar in that little edifice you will pardon me if I am too familiar with a general officer and his lady

"Familiar!" exclaimed both in a breath; and Maud's soft, white hand was extended towards the chaplain, with reproachful earnestness. "We, who were made Christians by you, and who have so much reason to remember and love you always!"

"Well, well; I see you are Robert and Maud, still;" dashing streaming tears from his eyes now. "Yes, I did bring you both into God's visible church on earth, and you were baptized by one who received his ordination from the Archbishop of Canterbury himself;" Maud smiled a little archly; "and who has never for gotten his ordination vows, as he humbly trusts. But you are not the only Christians I have made-I now rank Nicholas among the number

"Nick!" interrupted Sir Robert; "Wyandotté !" added his wife, with a more delicate tact.

"I call him Nicholas, now, since he was christened by that name -there is no longer a Wyandotté, or a Saucy Nick. Major Willoughby, I have a secret to communicate-I beg pardon, Sir Robert -but you will excuse old habits-if you will walk this way.'

Willoughby was apart with the chaplain a full half-hour, during which time Maud wept over the graves, the rest standing by in respectful silence. As for Nick, a stone could scarcely have been
