my should derive no advantage from his
remissness. CHANGING :, from conceal
ment, he saw the stalwart sasage, with
kovery, muscle nerved, prepared to take
the leap. With the agility of deer he
gaye, bound; but instead of reaching
the rock his, progress was arrested as
though by some mysterious convulsion
OF his limbs and body, and he fell roll
ling down the rocky slope, a distance of
fifty feet, He had evidently received d
death shot from some unknown hand;
and terrible shout from below announ-
ced the death ofa favorite warrior.
A few moments suaiced to prove that
the advantage SO unexpectedly gained
would be of short duration, for already
another a 9TH ri Indian was seen approaching
tn the GOV cover recently occupied by his CON-
radc. Again the attack in front was
resumed with increased fury, SO as to
engage the fixed attention of both the
scouts. With this diversion in his ia.
vorr, the second warrior prepared to take
the he leap essayed by his predecessor
Wit With the spring of a tiger, the fierce
a and d,,7w wary savage ,darted towards the
coveted rock; but the same unseen hand
had intercepted his career, and turning
a complete somersault sin the air, his
body rolled down the declivity to join
that Of his companion :a1.i
This last mysterious sacrifice struck
dislmay to the hearts of the assailauts,
who, 1t being now. sunset, withdrew to
devise modes of procedure-a respite
which came seasonably to the scouts,
wcaried asithey were by the prolonged
and unequal conflict. 9mir
~ 1t was now that the absence of the
girl was first discovered; and the pioneers
supposed she had either fed through
terror to her former captors, or been
killed in the fight. But they were not
long kept in suspense for in few mo.
meuts the object of their conjectures
was seen emerging from the cover of
rock, carrying rife in her hand. In
the heat of the conflict, she had seen
warrior fall some fifty yards in advance
of the main body; and, Icrouching in the
upntdeersrowth, ptdeer she had crept to the spot
unobseryed, and secured his rifle and
ammunition. Her practiced eye had not
failed to notice the danger to which they
were exposed by the proximity of the
rock; and hers was the mysterious hand
by which the two warriors had fallen.
The second was the fercest and most
bloodthirsty of the Shawnees, and. it
was he who had ten years previously
murdered and scalped her mother and
sister: The night was dark and clou-
dy, a circumstance which enabled the
scout, under the skillful guidance of the
intrepid girl, to elude their enemies and
withdraw from their perilous position.
After toilsome march of three days
the party reached the stockade in safes
ty. Their escape deferred the indians
from their contemplated attack, the
surprise they had planned being there
by rendered impracticable, n

Star-Spangled Banner.

Oh say, can you see by the dawn's early |
light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twi
lights last cleaning;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight,
O'or the ramparts we watched, were so
gallantly streaming
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there.
Oh! say does the star spangled ban
ner still wave,
Der the land of the free and the home
Of the brave ?
On the shore, dimly seen through the
mist Of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in silence
reposes,
What is that, which the breeze DER the
towering steep,
AS it litfuIly blows, half concealed, half
discloses
| Now it catches the glcam OF the moru-
ing's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the
stream;
IT'S the star spangled banner, Oh
long may it wave,
Der the land of the free, and the home
Of the brave.
And where is the band, who SO vaunt
ingly swore
That the havoc Of war, and the battle:
confusion,
\ home and a country should leave u
no more?
Their blood has washed out their fOu
footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling ant
slave,
From the terror Of flight or the gloom @
the grave:
And the star spangled banner in tri
umph doth wave,
Ger the land Of tue free and tn
home of the brave.
Oh thus be it ever when freemon sha
stand
, Between their loved homes and war
desolation;
l Blessed with victory and peace may ii
Heayeu-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made an
- preserved us a nation.
> Then conquer we must, when our eau
y it is just,
# And this be our motto" In God is Of
trust !"
And the star spangled banner in II
> umph shall wave,
