Ere the second robber could show
himself, Morton came rushing into the
room with pistol in each hand. 1
oWhat is it ?" he cried.
There! there - gasped Polly, point
ing to the doorway, where savage look
ing face had just presented itself.
Liant Morton had been to much used
to danger to waste much time in con-
lecture, and immediately shot the villain
dead, who fell with heavy sound upon
the cellar floor.
"Are there any more?'' he asked,
cooking his pistol.

care there any more p remarked
the carrier as Polly hesitated-
eyes, yes-I did. Yes that was it."
And as soon as the noble woman had
recovered sufficiently, she told him the
whole story. s
Morton expressed his thoughts as
best he could; but after all. the mois-
ture of his light eye, the changing Of
his countenance, and very lack OF Ian
guage, told her more than words could
have done.
After due deliberation it was decided
that the bodies should remain there till
morning So the cellar door was shut,
the front door bolted, and they prepared
to retire; but for the rest of the night,
Morton made his bed upon the floor of
the large room.
In the morning, just as the carrier
was dressed, there was rap on the door
accompanied by voice he knew full

and gave entrance to Jacob Burnap.-
The hunter had met a party of traders
at Lewisburg, and disposed of all his
skins to them, thus finishing his journey
six days earlier than he had anticipated.
Polly was soon upon her husbands
bosom, and when he had told then his
own s.ory, Morton gave him the adven-
ture. Jacob was at first incredulous,
but when he had seen the bodies he was
satisfied.
"Polly, my jewell" he said, placing
his arm around her neck, 81 am proud
OF you, I love you more and moreSfor
every day find You more and more to
love-
And then turning to Morton he added
-"What do you think of such wife p
"Ah," returned the guest with deep
feeling, elf poor Liant Morton had such
a wife he wouldn't be mail carrier"
When Morton left, he was directed to
stop at the first settlement, and state to
the officers what had happened, and
he promised to do SO. He once more
blessed the brave woman who had saved
his life, and then set out. Late in the
afternoon two officers arrived at the
cabin, and when they were shown the
dead bodies, at once proposed to remove
them. And ere q week passed, the
whole settlement blessed the Border
Heroine for the work she had done.

THE BORDER HEROINE.

Some years ago, before the State of
Arkansas was SO densly populated as
now, and when the mails from Little
Rock to the eastern borders were carried
on horse back, there lived few miles
above Horsehead, a stout pioneer named
Jacob Burnap. His wife Polly. and the
child Eine years old, made up the fami-
ly. His chief business was hunting, and
his uncrring rife never failed to supply
his board and something over. His
nearest neighbor was fifteen miles off,
90 he was little troubled with prying
visitors.
It was early in the spring that Jacob
started down the river with a boat load
OF fnrs and skins. He left Polly in
charge Of the premises, and he left with
her, too, light rife and a brace of pis-
tolls. She knew how to use the rife, for
never was she happier than when her
husband patted her on the shoulder and
said:
'Nobly done, Polly, my dear could
not have done better myself" And he
had occasion to say this with truth, too.
Jacob Burnap had been gone four
days, when towards evening horseman
rode up to the hunters door. He was
. small, muscular man, some forty years
Of age, and seemed Injured to all hard
ships. As he sprang from the saddle,
Polly made her appearance.
"Ah, Polly, once more here" the new
conner said, as he drew a we'll filed pair
Of saddle bags from the back Of his ia
tigued beast.
"Yes, and am glad to see you. ia
cob has been gone four days, and time
is getting heavy"
i "Jacob gone? Where ?''
"Down the river with a boat load of
furs.''
"Oh, yes. Well, you shall have the
company Of Liant Morton for-one night
at least; so for the next twelve hours
you'll be SAFE"
"Oh-I feel safe enough" returned
the woman quickly, 'sonly q little lone
some"
Thus speaking Morton threw his sad
die bags into the cabin and led his horse
around TO . low shed, where he made
him fast and fed him.
After this he returned to the dwelling
and entered, and was soon discussing the
events of the time over an ample sup
per. His hostess told him all that had
trauspired in the neighborhood since

A RARE INSTANCE OF DEVOTED FRIEND

A RARE INSTANCE OF DEVOTED FRIEND
sH1p-The Louisville Courier, of Novem-
ber 25, says: The four unfortunate
Misses Morgan, who were burned to
death by the dreadful accident on the
railroad near Cincinnati, on Thursday
morning last, were ladies of education,
refinement, goodness and respectability,
and, as we have already stated, daugh
ters of the late Mr.. Benjamin Morgan,
formerly of the firm of Price & Morgan,
merchants in Philadelphia, and after
wards President Of the Bank of Louis
lana, at New Orleans, and interested in
large sugar estates. At the time Messrs.
Price & Morgan dissolved partnership
they each possessed a handsome fortune,
and they mutually agreed that in case
of pecuniary misfortune or loss befall-
ing either of them, the other, if still in
good circumstances, was to share his
property with the unfortu aate one.
Many years afterwards Mr.. Chandler
Price failed in Philadelphia, and Mr..
Benjamin Morgan transferred to him
fine row of buildings on Tchoupitoulas
street, New Orleans. Some years after,
and about the time of Mr.. Morgan's
death, the latter became much embar-
rassed by endorsements for his acquain-
tances. Mr.. Price having in the mean
time accumulated another fortune, after
the death of his old partner reconveyed
the same valuable property On Tchoupi-
toulas street to Mr.. Morgan's children.
This is one of the rare instances in this
life of faithful, honorable and undying
friendship, and quite as extraordinary
as that of all four of the daughters
should be killed at one fell swoop,
thousand miles from home.

A Cleveland paper says: Ralph Wal
do Emmerson's lecture on eloquence re-
minded us Of the way it is said vessels
are built on the St. Lawrepce-by the
mile, and then cut off to suit orders.
Mr.. Emerson turns over about six sheets
where he reads one, and it is Of no con.
sequence where his turning over stops
one place to splice on, or to leave off, is
just as good as another. His lecture,
called mo Eloquence," or by any other
name. would pass as well, while, no
doubt, from that cord of manuscript
before him, he could extract any requir-
ed number Of lectures, on any required
subjects, just as magician can draw all
sorts of liquors, on demand, from the
same bottle. Lectures now-a days are
like ready made doors and windows
made by machinery. and adapted to any
kind Of frame il they rattle in the frame

KILLING SHEEP FOR THEIR PELrs.-
We are accustomed to look upon the
killing of cattle in Central and South
America, for their hides, as q waste Of
food deserving the severest censure.
What we deprecate there, is now carried
on nearer home, substituting sheep for
cattle. During the excitement on the
wool question few years ago. the Wes-
tern farmers rushed into sheep raising
as the most profitable branch Of hus-
bandry, but now find, with the return
of lower prices for wool, and the high
prices of grain and hay, that there is no
money in their nocks, hence are reduc-
ing them heavily. Finding the returns
Of sales made here to no more than cover
the value of the pelts and expsnses lin
some cases falling much below, very
thin lots having been sold At less than
31 per head in our glutted markets
they have now commenced killing
them for their skins, being determined
upon a reduction. To such an extent is
this being carried that there is every
prospect of future scarcity in the very
places where they are now 90 abundant.

We are accustomed to think that we
are great manufacturing people, but
our large establishments, particularly in
the working of metals, are entirely over
shadowed by some of the huge English
workshops. And even the English are
left behind now, and little Prussia, which
has latterly grown to be great Prussia,
boasts an establishment for the working
of steel alone, which surpasses any gen.
eral manufactory in the world. Krupp,
the steel king of Essen, has within the
past forty years built up what is in effect
a town by itself as a workshop. He
employs 10000 workmen; add to them
their wives and children, and there is
almost respectable population. Last
year he turned out $1,000 tons of cast
steel, valued at $1,000, 900, and inyolv-
ing daily consumption of 1000 tons Of
coal OF guns alone he has delivered
8, 500 altogether, valued at q, ,25O, 900.
Such facts as these should make us
ashamed Of the restricted use we are
able to make Of the vast resources con-
fded to our hands.-[N. Y. Times.

TO HUSBANDS.
A look Of yearning tenderness
Beneath her lashes lies,
And hope and love unutterable
Are shadowed in her eyes,
As in some deep unrufled stream
Are clouds and summer skies.
She passed to early won manhood,
From dreamy sweet girl life,
And crossed the rosy threshold, but
To find herself wife;
Oh, gently should he lead her steps
Along the path Of life.
AMI a. she clasped her small white hands
Upon his arms SO strong,
How often, like summer sigh,
Or . sweet pleading song,
She whispers, with parting kiss,
"Bsloved one, don't stay long"
It's almost always on her lip,
Her gsntlest parting words,
Sweet - the fragrance from rose leaves
When by soft sephyrs stirred,
And lingering in the memory
Like songs Of summer birds.
And in his heart they nestle warm
When other scenes amid
He stays not till she weary grows,
isa And her fond eyes are hid
In tears which lie in bitterness 5
Beneath each vailing lid.
And oh, how many hearts are kept
By that love- uttering song!
There's scarcely one who on ife's waves
Il swiftly borne along,
But what has heard from some dear lips
Those sweet words" don't stay long"
