quisitc form was melted by her lsvliness
and alarmed by her menaces. His COM
manding voice queled the stormng fury of
the savages and the captive was rescued
from the jaws of death. The time appoint
ed for union between the chief and the
white girl was drawing nigh, and the nc.
cessity ofhight wss urgent. A plan with the
captive was arranged which she was ena+
bled by her address and favor 10 put into
operation. They were just entering the
wood that reached almost to captain Stew
arts house, when band Of pursuing Sem
inoles were seen coming from another wood
about mile distant. They themselves
were also observed. The settler pointed TO
the nearest house and told her TO run for
her life. lie himself bounded of in an
other direction in the hope Of diverting the
Indians. But the savages divided, and
each exclusively followed one of the whites.
The settler with the most consummate skill
folled his enemies. After having lost his
track the Indians attacked Captain Stewards
house suspecting he had fed there for refuge;
and hence originated the two parties, and
the events related in the former part of the
tale, and thus the rescued proved again the
rescuer. Fervent thanks were returned to
Providence, and the night in talk till the
eastern heavens were sireaked with red.
The bodies of the fallen Indians were bu-
ried, and then each one musiDg and full of
wonder returned TO his home. If any of
my gentle readers should happen eyer to
pass thro' that part Of the country the good
old veterans, both men & women, will delight
to recount to him the history of that night,
and no doubt they will also tell how the
gallant hero and heroine being joined in
matrimony, now live in comfort and plenty
the parents of a ruddy little stock--the ima
age of its sire and grand sire, and how tAa
hcary head and tottering steps of the Rev
olutiOnary officer are supported by his low
Ing and faithful progeny r.. ~.

Youth is the time to learn our book.
And treasure up what good we can,
That when on years that's past we look,
We shan't with sorrow moments scan.
This house was built, at great expense,
By friends of ours, for use Of schools;
Our master hired, with wishes tense,
That we might not continue fools.
How we'll their object will be gain'd
Depends on our own feeble powers;
Then let our minds and nerves be strain'd,
And triAe not away our hours.
And let us all, with one accord,
Return our hearty thanks to them,
For this, the time, they thus afford,
For us to gain the precious gem.

A TALE OF TRUTH.

"Oh, where can my poor Henry be so
late to nighti Go to the door, Adelaide,
and see if you cannot hear him coming"
"Dear mother, do not fear, he will come
soon, know he will; some business de-
tains him." But Adeaide's heart did not
speak thus-no, sh, knew but too we'll that
every night her brother staid till late, and
when he did come, his unsteady step, his
poisoned breath, but too plainly told her
what business had detained him.
AdeIaide's father had long since left them
for better world, and Henry was now
their only protector. Their father had
left them in good circumstances, and Hers
ry was merchant of high standing in mis-
native city. His career was similar to ma
ny others. lie commenced with glass of
wine, in the drawing room, and had now
arrived at the dram shop.-His poor mo-
ther spoke to him of his ruinous course,
but all in vain; he had taken the fatal road
and could not stop.
The night on which my sad tale CONF
mences, was a dreary, stormy night the
lightning was flashing wildly, and the
thunder rolling dreadrully across the heas
vens and when Adelaide ga2ed anxously
out at the door she could perceive nothing
but few glimmering lamps. No human
form was visible all was wrapt in dark
ness and silence, save when the lightning
cleaned or thunder roared Hadn't you
better 60 to bed, mother lis very late and
! can wait for Henry NO Adelaide,
fear something has happened to my poor
boy; feel presenlment that ihat'--
A loud rap interrupted the mother, and
called Adelaide to the door. And there
stood four men with body, all bleeding
and wounded, stretched upon a plank =
Yes there he lay--the support of the wild
ow, and the protector of her daughter-cut
down in early youth by drink
Would to heaven could describe his
mothers feelings, as she gazcd on the body
of her son! That could tell you the ag-
ouy that racked her heart when she
thought not that he was lost to her, bu Rol0
he was lost

Lines for defamation, for small boy II
the BlOO,asburg Academy.
Sirs, how can l, little lad,
In speaking, make fgure'
You're only joking, I'm afraid,
Do wait till am bigger.
But since you wish to hear my part,
And urge me TO begin it,
III strive for praise with all my art,
Though small my hopes to win it.
I'll tell tale how farmer John,
A little roam colt had, sirs,
Which every night, and every morn,
He wateE'd and he fed, sir.
Says nighbor Joe to farmer John.
Amt you silly dolt, sir,
To spend such time and cost upon
A little useless colt, sir
Says farmer John to neighbor Joe,
bring my little roaa up,
Not for the good he can do notc,
But toW do when he's grown up.
The moral you may all descry;
TO keep the tale from spelling,
The little colt you think is l,
know it by your smiling:
And now, dear friends, at my request,
Forgive my lsps and stammers;
l, for this once, have done my best,
And so I'll make my manners.
