FROM THE CAYUGA REPUBLICAN.
FEMALE HEROISM ENEMPLIFIED,

The female character, when life passes smooth
and tranquil, appears to be wholly made mp Of ten
derness and dependence. 1t shrink, from the gaze
Of tue rude and rcccs from the slightest touch Of
the impulcnt. But however il may appear in Mrse
circumstances. certain il IS, that when dangers IN
pend traits of hcrosm and inrepitlity dart out amid
this tenderness and dependence, ike lightning
from the soft eecy clouds Of summers evening
SO, when We stand by the oceans SIDE, and view
its smooth and tranquil bosom, we little suspect
the terrible energy of its waves, when lasacd into
fury n the winds
The following fact confirms these remarks
In the ,car 1850, Henry ana Emily, a newly
married pair and the children Of wealthy parents in
Boston, !ctt their patcrnal ;5olr determined to eff
feet permanent settlement at place called D.,
Mess. Eni.iy had been brought up IN the midst Of
atuencc, AID Was acquainted with distress and po-
'glt! Only !n the abstract. Though her character
WAS made zip OF all those qualities which we most
aImirc il her SEX, yet no one would have suspected
the presence of those which her subsequent l:f 50
abundant, e1incer.
After the lapse of Eve years, their house ana farm
presented the appearance Of neatnc,s and comfort
and except icing sometimes startled from the
s!'linocrs OF midnight ~ the yen OF the savage, or
the howl OF the wolf, they had themselves suffered
no nolc-t.tion. The pr 'spect from the house was
bounded all SIDES by Forests except in one direc-
ton, where there deep valley. from VII CHI the
wood had been cleared to open Z commitment on
with an adjoining town. The rays Of the setting
sun, shooting almost horizontal, into tins valley,
enabled the eye to reach to great distance, AMI
formed striking contrast to the deep gloom that
bounded both SIDES Of the way. 1t WAS through
tbs opening that Henry might be Frequently seen
At the close of the day returning from LABOR IN dis

One evening" about the end Of June, Henry vas
seen about half way up the valley on his way hcme.
At this instant tall, stout Indian lcaped from the
adjoining Nood-sezed upon the Unprotected and
unsuspiclous Henry, and appeared to be in the act
Of taking his scalp The forest around rung th sa-
wage yeis, and four indians were seen bounding
over the fields towards the house. In an Instant
the tender and dependent Emily was transformed
into the bol-the intrepid heroine She delbe-

children into the cellar-and, with her husbands
