THE SPELLS OF HOME

We copy the stanzas below, entitled Spells
Of Home, from the Monthly Magazine, and
from sir manner, we ascribo them to the
pen Of Mr.. Campbcll; and if they do not
belong to him, we shall set them down TO the
credit of Miss Landon:
BY the soft green light in the woody glade,
On the banks Of moss where thy childhood
playld;
By the waving tree thro' which thine eye
First look in love to the summer sky;
BY the dcwy CLEAN, by the very breath
Of the primrose tufts to the grass beneath,
Upon thy heart there is laid spell
Holy and precious-oh guard it well!
Bv the sleepy ripple of the stream,
Which hath lulPd thee into many dream;
by the shiver of the ivy-ieaves,
To the wind of morn at thy easement caves;
By the bees deep murmur in the lines,
by the music OF the Sabbath-chimes;
BY every sound of thy native shade,
Stronger and dearer the spell is made.
BY the gathering round the winter hearth,
When twilight called unto household mirth;
BY the fairy tale or the legend old
In that ring of happy faces told;
BY the quiet hours when hearts unite
In the parting prayer, and the kind good
night;
BY the smiling eye and the loving tone,
Over thy life has the spell been thrown.
And bless that gift!-i hath gentle might
A guardian power and guiding light!
II hath led the freemen forth to stand
In the mountain battles of his land;
II hath brought the wanderer Ger the seas,
To die on the hills of his own fresh breeze;
And back to the gates Of his fathers hall,
II hath won tho weeping prodgal
Yes! WHOM thy heart in its pride would stray
From the loves Of its guileless youth away;
When the Sullying breath ofthe world will come
O'cr the flowers it brot from it childhood s
home;
Think thou again Of the woody glade,
And the sound by the rustling ivy made,
Think Of the tree at thy parents door,
And the kindly spell shall have power once
more.

FEMALE lNTREPIDITY-The fol-
lowing IS true When the war Of ex-
termination between the Indians and
Kenlucki'ms was at its height, those
who inhabited the back part of the
State of Kentucky, were obliged TO
have their houses built very strong
with loop holes all around, and doors
always fastened, so as to repel any at
tack from the Indians. While the
owner Of one Of these domestic for
tresses was with his slaves, at work on
the plantation, negro who was post
ed near the honse, saw, approaching,
party of Indians. He Immediately
ran to the house and the foremost In
dian after him. The Indian was the
aeetest, and as the door opened to adj
init the negro, they both jumped in to-
gether. The other Indians being some
distance behind, the door was instant
ly closed by the planters wife within,
when the negro and Tire Indian grap-
Piled. Long and hard was The strug-
gle, for as in the case of Fiiz James
and Rhodcrick Dhu, the one was the
stronger and the ether the more ex-
pert, but strength, this time was the
victor, for they fell the Indian below,
when the negro, placing his knees on
his breast, and holding his hands,
kept him in that position, until the
woman, seizing a. broad axe, and ta-
king the In n'ian by his long hair, at
one blow severed his head from his
body. The negro then seized the
guns, fired them AT the other Indians ,
which, as fast as discharged, were
loaded again by the planters wife, un-
I'll the party from the field, hearing
the firing, arrived, when the Indians
took to flight.

:" His tale untold-his truth too dearly proved"
Byron

through the western country, the
beauty of the scenery, as well as the
hospitality of the inhabitants, induced

In the winter of 1918, Henry Stan

they were attached, and which was sta

To mingle with thy flock, and never stay.

The effiusion below is from the pen Of Mrs

gives an account of the godliness and transla.

"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not

lie walked with God in holy Joy,
While yet his days were few;
The deep glad spirit of the Boy,
To love and reverence grew.
Whether, each nightly star to count,
The ancient hills he trod,
Or sought the flowers by stream and fount,
Alike he walked with God.
The graver noon Of manhood came,
The full OF cares and fears;
One voice was in his hcart--the same
1t heard through childhood's years
Amidst fair tents, and focks, and swains,
Ger his green pasture sod,
A shepherd king on Eastern plains,
The Patriarch walked with God.
And calmly. brightly, that pure life
Melted from earth away;
No pang il knew, no parting strife,
No sorrowful decay.
He bowed him not, like all beside,
Unto the Spoilers rod,
But joined at once the glorfed,
Where angels walk with God.
So let as wak-the night must come
10 us that comes TO all !.
We through the darkness must 60 home,
Hearing the Trumpet's call.
Closed is the path for evcrmore
Which without death he trod;--
Not so that way, wherein of yore,
His footsteps walked with God,
