JENNIE WOOD;
THE CHILD HEROINE Oh KENTUCKY,
BY CHARLIE LAwroN LOWELL.

One of the first settlers Of Kentucky was
Daniel Wood. Leaving a comfortable home
in one of the Eastern States, he, with his
family, consisting of his wife and little
daughter about eight years of age, sought
home on the far western borders of Ken
tucky. Here he soon built himself a log
cabin, and, assisted by lame but faithful
negro servant, who had accompanied him
from the east he soon had quite patch of
ground cleared, and began anew the life of
a farmer combined with that Of hunter.
Prosperity smiled upon his efforts, and
SIX months passed without anything occur
ring to mar the even tenor Of his way.
1t was bright, beautiful morning in
June. Old Sol had just turned out from his
eastern couch, and peeping over the hills.
was bathing the horizon in crimson with
his smiles when, armed with his trusty RI
fe, and pack Of skins strapped upon his
back, Daniel Wood issued from his cabin
door. He was bound on visit to a neigh
boring station, some miles distant, to pur-
chase a new supply of ammunition and other
little necessaries and luxuries that were
needed at the cabin. Pauslng upon the
threshold of his home, he took a long and
anxious around.
Keep good lookout, Molly" he said,
turning TO his wife, who was just behind
him, and who had come to the door to bid
her husband God speed on his journey
keep a good lookout; although the red
skins amt shown themselves yet, thar's no
knowing when to expect the varmints and
they might pop out on you fore yer knowed
anything bout it.'
Never fear, Daniel, :" returned his wife !;
"there is no danger. The Indians have
never been seen round here ; besides, we
have done nothing to anger them, and l
don't think they will interfere with us. But
look to yourself Daniel the trail through
the forest to the station is long ono, aad
yon know not what danger may surround
you"
Never fear for me, Molly" answered
the frontiersman '.while I have faithful
Sallie here, ,"--and he lovingly patted the
stock of his rifle" twill be dangerous
work for any redskin to come within shoot
ing distance of me so never fear, but keep
I'D good heart-I shall be back before
dark"
And he pressed kiss upon the lips of the
buxom dame.
Just at this moment the burly form of
Lame Jake, the negro, made his appearance
round the corner Of the cabin, returning to
his breakfast from his early labors in the
fields. For moment he gazed upon the
pleasant scene, bis eyes glistening with de-
light and mirth ; then he broke out:
~, golly, massa Arn't you gwine to
kiss.poor old mig, too, fore you goes Yah,
yah, guess you'd better guess you'd bet
ter.p
And Old Jake shook with suppressed

THE BROKEN HEART.
By MRS. W. f. BENSON.

I saw her once and loved her
For her face and form were fair,
No tear was then within her eye,
Nor On her brow care
[ saw she loved another,
And envied him his lot
Oh, how I madly worshipped her
But yea she knew it not.
Why did let her give her heart,
So trusting pure aud kind,
To one who valued not the gift,
Nor the beauties of her mind.
He only loved her when she smiled,
Or when she looked most fair;
He sought not to retain her love
By a-husband' watchful care.
] saw her weeping ana alone,
Why 6ropt those tears 50 fast
Was il the dread of griefs to come,
Or the memory Of the past
/ felt that she too soon had found
His love upon the wane,
Though he vowed tolove and cherish her
Beneath the holy fame.
When last l saw her, oh, how changed
Was that much neglected one
Too proud to utter complaint,
Sad, silent, loving on.
I saw her press a tiny form,
And watched her parting breath;
Bow foudly was that dear one held
In her cold embrace Of death

The Two Burrows.
BY C. H. WEBB.

The spring time eame-but not with mlrth--
The banner of our trust
And with it the best hopes Of earth
Were trailing in the dust.
The Farmer saw the shame from far,
And stopps his plow afeld;
q Not tne blade of peace, but the brand Of war,
This arm of mine must WELD.
When traitor hands that flag would stain,
Their homes ct woman keep;
Until its stars burn bright again,
Let others SOW and reap
The Farmer sighed" A life time long
The plough has been my trust
In truth it were an nrrant wrong
To leave it now torust."
With roady strength the Farmer tore
The iron from the wood,
And to the village smith he bore
That plough-shars stout and good.
The blacksmith's arm was bare and fr)wn,
And loud the bellows roared;
The farmer flung his plowshare down
"Now forge me out u sword !"
And then q merry, merry chime
The sounding anvil rung;
Good sooth, it was nobler ryme
Than ever poet sung
The blacksmith wrought with skill that day.
The blade was keen and bright,
And now where thiekest is the fray
The farmer leads the fight.
Not a. Of old hat blade he swsys
To break the meadows sleep,
But through the rebel ranks be lays
fuTrow broad and deep
The farmers face is burned and brosn,
But light is on his brow,
Right well he wots what blessings crown
The forrow Of the plor.
q But better is fo-days success
Thus ran the farmers word,
"For nations yet unborn shall bless
This forrow of the Sword

A Captain Sold.

A gallant volunteer officer was badly sold
few days since. He was searching the
houses of citizens for arms, with squad Of
men, and on arriving at the residence of an
old gentleman named Hayes, was met in the
hall by his daughter-a beautiful black
eyed girl Of eighteen-wbo appeared deeply
agitated, and implored the captoin not to
search the house. The officer was immoyable
resolved to do his duty, and the more bent
upon searching from the apparent dismay of
the fair girl. Jadeed-indeed," shs ex-
claimed, "wo have only three guns in the
house,"
Tue captain smiled increduously. Fetch
them to me, /" said be, remembering the fate
of poor Ellsworth. The young lady hurried
up stairs, and returned with an old rusty
double-barreIed shot gun that no prudent
man would have ventured to load and dis
charge. The others-the other two p de-
manded the officer Oh, sir my brothers J"
sobted the girl. l cannot take them from
them p
The captain pushed her on one side
'' Forward, men !" he sho uted, falling into
the rear himself. AS the file of soldiers has
tily mounted the stairs the young lady clung
to the skirts of the officer, who was the last
TO ascend, exclaiming, wildly,
But-but, sir, my brothers-you viii
not harm my brothers ?"
The captain shook her off somewhat IN
gallantly and rushed up after the soldiers,
who By this time, reached the closet door Of
a chamber. After pause, the men pushed
open the door, and rushed iD with bayonets
fixed, when two juvenile Zouaves, of the ages
Of eight and ten years, fully armed and
equipped with wooden guns, appeared drawn
up in line before them. At the same mo-
ment Tie silvery laugh Of the blacteyed
beauty was heard on the stairs, echoed by
couple Of chambermaids, who were peeping
over the banisters from aboYe. The officer
beat hasty retreat, without making seiz-
ure tf the two remaining guns.-NeU York

B- The great necessity Of the hour is the
general diffusion Of feeling of confidence
in the Government, which is manifestly do
ing all in its power to maintain the integrity
Of the Republics and we do not wonder,
therefore, that those who delight in singing
out different members of the Cabinet for at.
tack, aud who persist in constant fault-fnd
ing, are regarded at Washington as virtual
allies of the insurgents. II any real abuses
exist at time like this. there are better
ways of remedying them than by resorting
to newspaper clamor, which is calculated
rather to dampeu the ardor of our soldiers,
and to chill the patriotism of our citizens,
than to accomplish any other object.

weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervadeS the whole body, and NAV burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The s~crofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the ~ycnereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
sitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation ; ;" indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children."
Its effects m by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs. IS termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous c~onstitu-
tisns not only suffer from scrofulous conf
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not serofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
III this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by il.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and IN
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
