INTREPipiTY OF A LADY.-A remarkable
instance of intrepidity and GOODNESS was
exhibited at the Blue Lick Springs few
days ago by Miss L., belle of Bourbon
county in this State. Miss L. and MIR. F.,
a gentleman from the south, on their re-
turn from an excursion OF horseback, were
riding down the long hill, about quarter
of mile from the hotel, at full speed, the
lady being little ahead. AT sudden
turn Of the road, the gentleman's saddle
turned, and he fell from his horse, but his
foot remained in the stirup, and the horse
although his pace was somewhat siacken-
ed, kept on his way, dragging the fallen
man upon the ground. The young lady
seeing this, reigned in her own horse BY
sudden effort, leaped from him whilst he
was still in rapid motion, ran back, seizet
the other horse by the bride, and released
her gallant from his perilous situation.
This feat was witnessed by hundreds

enough to express their admiration of tn
daring courage Of the beautiful young her

MOTHER, HOME AND HEAVEN
by S. D. ANDERSON.

by s. D. ANDERSON.
g The three sweetest words in the English lam
guage are Mother, Home, and Heaven"
Mother;
The first fond word our hearts express,
In chiljhood's rosy hours;
When life scenes full OF happiness,
AS nature is of flowers;
A word that manhood loves TO speak
When time has placed upon his cheek,
And written OH his brow,
Stern lessons Of the worlds untruth
Unheeded ia'his thoughtless youth, e
But sadly pondered now,
As time brings back, mid vanished years,
A mothers iondest hopes and fears.
5e Home,
The only Eden left untouched,
Free from the tempter's snare;
A Paradise where kindred hearts
May live without care;
A wite's glad smile is imaged here,
And eyes thai never knew tear,
Save those of happiness,
Beam on the hearts that wander back
From of'the long aud beaten track
OF sorded worldlIness,
To ask those purer joys that come,
Like ange round the hearth at home.
Heaven,
The end of all motl.er's prayers,
The home Of all her dreams;
The guiding star 10 light our path
With hopes enchanting beams;
The haven for our-storm-iossed bark,
From out a world where wild and dark
The iempests often rise;
But still in every darksome hour,
This hope will rise with holy power,
Andpoint us 10 the skies
Where Mother, Home and Heaven are seen,
Without cloud 10 intervene
