Thrilling Sketch.

| We introduce an incident in the life of an
early settler Of Ohio, lady. which we trust
will be interesting to our readers:
Joel Thorp, with his wife Sarah, moved
with an OK team, in May '99 from North Ha-
ven, Connecticut to Milford, in Ashtabula
county and were the first settlers in that re-
gion. They soon had small clearing on
and about an old beaver dam, which was
very rich and mellow. Towards the first
of June the family being short of provisions,
Mr. Thorp started off alone 10 procure some
through the wilderness, wiki no guide but
a pocket compass, to the nearest settlements;
about 90 miles distant in Pennsylvania.
His family consisting of Mrs. Thorp and
three children, the Oldest child, Basil, being
but about eight years ofage. were before his
return reduced to ex.remities for want of
food. They were compelled, in measure,
to dig for and subsist on roots, which yielded
hnt ltileaAnrishment, The children inva;n
asked for food. prumisin I 10 DC saris fec, with
the least possible portion. The boy Basil
remembered to have seen some kernels of
corn in crack ofon otthelogs ofthe cabin
and passed hours in an unsuccessful search
for them. Mrs. Thorp emptied the straw
out of her bed and picked it over to obtain
the little wheat it contained. Her husband,
it seems. had taught her how to shoot at a
mark, in which hehad acquired great skill
When all her means for procuring food had
exhausted, she saw, as she stood in her cab
in door, a wild turkey flying near. She
took down her husband rifle, and looking,
for ammunition, was surprised TO find only
sufficient fora small charge. Carefully clean
ing the barrel, so as not 10 loose any by its
sticking to the sides as it went down, she
set some apart for printing, and loaded the
piece with the remainder, and started out
in pursuit of the turkey, rejecting that on
her success depended the lives of herself
and children. Under the excitement of hel
feelings she came near defeating her object
by Tightening the turkey. which flew a
short distance and again alighted in po-
tatoc patch Upon this she returned to the
house, and waited until the fowl had begun
to wallow in the loose earth. On her sec
ond approach she acted with great caution
and GOODNESS, creeping slyly on her hands
and knees from log to log until she had
gained the last obstruction between herself
and the desired object. 1t was now a try
ing moment, and crowd of emotions pass
ed through her mind as she lifted the rifle
to level to her eye. She fired; the result
was fortunate; the turkey was killed, and
herself and family preserved from death by
her skill.

kossUTH ON SLAvEIY.-In a recent letter
to a gentleman in New York. he says:
ooh, if your nation, with all the light she
has in herself, would but elevate herself for
one moment to the moral height of true Re-
publican principles; and with noble reso-
luton, cast away that curse from your flu
ture and that stain from your escutcheon,
.Slarery-how different would be the stand
ing OF America in few years! Her bright
ness would efl'ace the bright page of man
kinds history; but with that incubus paralyz-
ing the Union, nothing can ever be expect
ed. but commissions at home, disrespect
abroad, and decay OF national life, dying
without having come 10 age.
''Htc .fonte derivata clades-everything
which is deplorable dates from that source
No foreign power should be permitted to
NEEDLE with the domestic affairs of any
country; buta great, enlightened-and above
all, Republican nation, should know her
self to be faithful to right-to do what is
just, and to cure the cancer gnawing on her
own heart Where the difficulties are great
there the glory of overcoming them is the
greater. Small matters may be done by
small men,and small nations. 1t is worthy
ofgreat nations TO do great things. Besides,
freenaen should never think it hard task
TO be just, or else sooner OF later they will
cease TO be free"

MOVE ON.

The march of life should never stay,
All things should onward tend;
Man should not clog PROFESSIONS way,
Bat strive to move and mend.
The waters move in depths of ocean,
The streams along the dales,
And rivulets with onward motion,
Through sweet and verdant wales,
Move ON.
The clouds move gently through the sky,
The earth rolls ever ON;
Time swiftly IL, its course runs bv,
And years pass one by one.
Men, too, should strive 10 follow them,
In this their onward way,
Permitting nnught the tide 20 stem,
But ever, day BY day,
Move on!
Men may be wiser, If they strive
More virtuous, If they wills
And who, within this world, would th.ive,
Must aim at higher still
Let bgots stand by doctrines old,
The wise will pass them by;
Weak minds may cling with Aubtlc hold,
But strong ones valianly
Move on
Like waters rolling TO the ocean,
Down mountains piled on high
Like clouds foreverin commotion,
That move across The sky
Viii we forever onm ard press,
Thus fritrrIess aud free;
Ans deeming virtue happiness,
@ Move on

Manufacturing Boots and Shoes by Ma
chIncIy.

A number of Frenchmnn are about get
ting up an establishment at Utica, N. Y,
for the manufacture of boots and shoes by
machinery. 1t said that the manufacture
of Il fine shoe will cost but ten cents, and
that of fine bootbu fifteen to twenty cents.
The machines can be run by women and
boys. and their proper management does
not require any Knowledge of the present
way OF making boots and shoes. The Tel
egraph says that the owners are now in
Washington securing a patent for their ma
chine, and it thus speaks gifts performance
The machine is so perfect that it is only
necessary to place in it two pieces of sole
and upper leather, andin an incredibly short
space of time it turns out complet boot or
shoe. As is desired. We learn that a num-
Der of capitalists of this city are negotiating
for the purchase of the patent, and that it
is their intention, should they succeed in
securing it, to purchase the Globe Mills and
to convert them into an extensive boot and
shoe mandatory, employing some seven
hundred hands. A gentleman in this city,
now extensively interested in manufactur-
ing, is in New York negotiating for the pur-
chase of the patent.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKEr.-This popular
poem was written by Samuel p Woodwork
whileyethe was a journeyma printer, work
ing IN an office on the corner OF Chamber
and Chatham streets. Near by, in Frank
fort street, was drinking shop, kept by a
mannamed Mallory, where Woodwork and
several particular friends used to resort
One afternoon The liquor was uper.cxcel-
lent. Woodwork seemed inspired, after
taking draught, he set his glass upon the
table. and smacking his lips. declared that
Mallory eau de vie was superior to anything
he had ever tasted. "Eo," said Mallory,
you are mistaken, there was one which in
both our estimations, far surpassed it in the
way of drinking" "What was that?" ask
ed Woodwork obviously. "The drauyhts
of pure, fresh spring water that we used to
drink from the old oaken bucket that hung
in the well, after our return from the labors
OF the field on sultry day in summer" =
The tear-drop glistened in Woodwork 'seye.
True, true" he replied, and shortly after
quilted the place. He Immediately return
ed to the office, grasped a pen, and in half
an hour "The Old Oaken Bucket" one OF
the most delightful compositions in our lam
guage, was ready in manuscript to be en-
balmed in the memories of succeeding gen
erations.
