Cd men took counsel oftheir youth, and
lived for many years the golden life OF
peace. Now, they have both gone to
tboirrest The eldest son of David and
Hannah has brought home a fair wife,
and the youpg couple live with grand
mother Barker. Scarcely day passes
in which Annie Benton docs not come
across to chat awhile with them; and in
the interest that the ese old ladies' take in
the happiness of their children, they
seemed to have gained q new lease Of
existence. r'e3.s. FL .ra
There is one addition to the landscape
which we must not omit to mention
About midway between the two houses
stand two young thrifty oaks. They
sprang from acorns, one OF which grew
on the old oak that caused the great
quarrel, and the other upon the tree
which SO nearly deprived David Of life.
They were planted by Hannah the au-
tumn succeeding her marriage. .,g
These trees are known among the
family as the Tree of Strife, and the
Tree Of Peace: and whenever Hannah
perceives any indication of selfshness,
Or hasty quarrclsome temper in her
children. she points them to these trees;
and her pleasant voice, mingled with the
of their broad leaves, as she
tells tie story of their grandfathers'
quarrel and reconciliation, seldom fails
10 chase away all clouds, and bring away
the bright atmosphere of truth and love.

BY REV C. T. BROOKS.

Brave maiden, with the two-fold glow:
Of health and Summer OH thy cheek!
| Thy thoughts, thy home, fain would know,
Wilt thou not lift those eyes and speak? 2
Alone see thee standing there,
The flush of toll upon thy face,
! Amidst the silent summer air,
| In natures calm, unconscious grace
"Thy thoughts !" thou art thyselfa thought
Bodied III light, magic form,
BY memory, love, and fancy wrought, 81
With beauty's blissful brcathings warm.
"Thy home" Its place not here is found,
Amidst the fairest fields of Garth,
purer air than ours brcaths round
The realm serene that gave thee birth.
Fair fruit of thoughtful, loving art!
The sun Of Genius ripcned thce
The sunshine of genial heart, .t...
CLOVIS in thee, round thee, lovingly ..
No more alone, see thee stand, .I.
Throngcd is thy sunny solitude, .. BE-.
Around thee rise loving band,

They bid thee come, and with them share
The deathlcss land Of love and lighc.

CHAPTER III.
About Christmas there came deer
fall Of snow. 1t was right loyfully vel.
coined by young aud old. : Better sled
ding was never known,' exclaimed the
village girls as they talked over their
anticipated sleigh rides 'Bottcr sled.
ding was never known shouted the stou,
farmers as they passed each other on the
road, with loaded sleds drawn by long
strings Of sleek oxen: and. busily i'm
proved it, Notwithstanding the severity
Of the weather, for every one was anx-
ious to get his timber home, or his logs
to the saw mill before the January
thaw. .' f|
One morning, before the snow had
felt the action Of the warm winds, and
foggy atmosphere of January, old Mos
cs Barker made preparations to 60 to a
distant piece Of woodland after load Of
wood not that his well-flled wood house
needed replcnishing, but the laud in
question had been part OF Aunt Bee
ky's disputed territory aud, though
divided, was still unfcnced. He had
heard, within a few days that Sire Ben
ton was cutting timber up there and
the suspicious old soul was determined
to 90 and see if he was not encroaching
upon his part
1t was bitter cold morning, and his
wife would fain persuade him to wait till
a warmer day, saying, They would GER
tainly freeze to DEATH But he 'pish-
ed at her fears, swallowed his gingered-
cider, drew on his mittens, and, accom-
roried by Ned Nd his hired man, started
off. He reached ,aac ,iac lot, ana a,,S!r a"sr the
most careful examination, was satlsile1
that no trespass had been committed,
though the regular strokes of an axe
among thick grove on Benton's side
proved that they were indeed clearing it
off. ....
Their wood was already cut, and they
soon began to load, but before many min
utes tho sound of the axe ceased, and
they heard the heavy crash of a falling
tree-apd then losd, agoniziug cry for
help. r .-
Some one is caught uuder the tree ?
exclaimed Ned, dropping the end of the
stick they were raising, and running to-
wards that part Of the lot from whence
the cry proceeded. Barker followed
mechanically. They needed no guide,
for again and again that cry rang through
the clear, frosty air, with startling dis
iinctness. When they reached the spot
the found David Benton caught beneath

fop,. wirg explanation Of this sudden breaking up of
the enc mpment:
Official evidence has reached Governor Walker
through the t>'mmanding officer at Fort Riley, thai
the Cheyenne i1diars, in force, have reached thas
station, where Their, is fertilization, aud ouy half
company Of infantry. The commanding officer at the
Fort axis for immediate assistance, an attack being
hourly txpccted," and the garrison filled with the
wives and children OF absent officers and men.
The official report represents that 9 the Indians had
driven in all settlers and committed several murders
" in sight Of the post" Under these circumstances
Governor Walker has sent COL Cooke, with the whole
force under his command to the point Of danger.
Col Cooke started with the advance at a. M, to.
day, and by forced marches hopes to reach Fort
Riley tomorrow evening, accompanied by the Gov.
ernor The rest of the troops follow Immediately, and
will proceed with all possible expedition 1t seems TO
be wisely ordered by Providence that the troops who
are now here much nearer Fort Riley. should thus
be enabled TO reach that point in brief period to
give speedy protection to the garrison and settlers and
i is hoped, ipfict summary chastsement upon this
hostile and warke tribe.

fresh in my recollection. 1t WAS in the year lo27,
/ think, that Sarah Hampstead, Of Brooklyn, EN-.
trapped IN unucky Bermudian, then a resident Of
Middletown, Connecticut, into ma,rimony She
was a snowy, dashing girl Of fse figure, fair
manners. and an inyIneibe propensity to intrigue
lust the person to bamboozle the simple. minded
islander, who had been bred to the sea, and
had only sailors knowledge of the sex. He
carried her to Middletown, whittier she was
accompanied by younger sister, called Anne, the
same exemplary female, | presume, who testified
with such simplicity and candor in the recent Gun.
bingham case, under the name of Ann Barns.
These excellent women were kindly received by the
friends of Sarahs husband, who were respectable
and influential people, and through their means
found their way into social circle distinguished for
its cultivation and refinement. But must reserve
for another letter narrative of the manner in which
Sarah freed herself from her husband, and swinded
hi. lawful heirs of his property. Meanwhile will
intern YOU that the trick undertaken by Mrs. Gun.
bingham was successfully performed BY her sister,
and that another sister aided and assisted ia the
fraud, her own Legitimate offspring being repre-.
sented az Sarah's child by her deceased husband.
