They must be hurled to the floor and,
II not stunned by the fall, she and her
children would be again at their mercy.
A glance showed her her husbands
axe standing by the door and as quick
as thought. she hestened to possess it
Now, with weapon of defence. she felt
greater courage than she had yet experi>
enced. Her children, nearly frantic with
terror, still clung to her skirts. The
cries of the savages alarmed them TO
such an extent that they could not be IN
duced TO leave her for moment.
A glance at the savages showed her
fiat one of them had become dizzy and
could not much longer retain his hold
The moment that was TO decide their fate
was fast approaching, and she nervcd her
self to meet it.
by violent effort she succeeded in dis
engaging the children from about her, and
with uPliited axe, sprang toward the
wheel, just as the savage let 90 his hold,
and was hurled violently almost at her
very feet. With all the strength her arm
possessed, she swung the axe above her
head, and brought it down with such
force and precision that the skull of the
bewildered and helpless savage was cleft
in twain.
Another cry broke from the lips of the
remaining savage. His hold upon the
wheel was rapidly Ioosening and, dazed
as he WAS, he saw that the fate of his
companion must shortly be his. But ono
chance Of life occurred to him, and that
was to attempt to spring from the wheel
from the opposite side from where lay
the body of his companion, and where he
thought the intrepid woman would not
venture while the machinery of the mill
was IN motion. With ell his remaining
strength he made the attempt but it was
fatal 10 him, for he was caught by the
bolt and dashed on with resistless force
against post standing near. The mill
went on, the wheel dragging him rouud,
at each revolution repeating the blow,
aud in little time the savage was beaten
out Of all resemblance of humanity
With grateful heart for the deliyerance
which had been veuchsa fed to them, Mrs.
Foss gathered her children about her, and
hurried from the mill which contained st
many horrors. In the rain which had
commenced to fall, she hastened along
the path, past their cabin, which would
never seem like home to her again, after
the terrible occurrence of the day, anC
down to the main settlement below -
There, assured of safety for herself ant
children, the strength which had sustain
ed her gave way; and it was weeks be
fore she was able to leave the cabin o.
the friend with whom she had taker
refuge.
The site of the old mill is to be seer
on the Toll End Road, and few are tn,
dwellers thereon that cannot repeat it:

from gentleman who was an eyewitness
of the circumstance narrated:
The thermometer often stands for days

STORY OF A HAr-The South Norwalk
Sentinel tells romantic story of young
lady, who some time ago was employed
as hat trimmer in n mandatory of that
city. One day. being more than usually
disguised with her tedious and prosaic
occupation, on the impulse of thegnoment
she wrote her name and address upon
the liuing of hat she had Just finished,
and patiently awaited the result. The
hat, with hundreds Of others, was sent
off to the "trade and finally purchased
by young New Yorker, who chanced TO
discover the name upon the lining. Being
OF romantic turn of mind he wrote to
the young lady; an intimacy followed,
and the result was the marriage of the
two last week.
Apropos of the above, but not of the
same romantic and pleasing character, is
the following story from the Danbury,
Conn, Ne'Us: GA girl in this town
stitched her name in the lining of a hat
beneath the statement: 4 am thine wilt
thou be mine p and sent ii adrift. After
various vicissitudes it. was purchased by
certain gentleman, and took T. position
on his head. One day the lining became
loose, and in endeavoring to fasten it his
eye rested upon the sentiment and name,
and he involuntarily exclaimed, 'D--n
fool !" When Martha returned TO her
home that day she was taken to retired
part of the cottage and warmed with a
strap. The gentleman who got the hat
was her father.

DEATH AT TEEE HzEEL..

Among the first settlers at Dover, New
Hampshire, WAS man by the name Of
Tobias Foss. His cabin stood on the
Cocheco, close by the Upper Falls. Here,
as the settlement grew in numbers, he
built rude mill, to which the settlers for
miles around brought their grain; and
this, coupled with what he raised from
his lands, was more than enough for the
support of his family, which consisted of
wife and three small children.
The cabin stood on high hill, from
which the trees had been cleared for sew
eral rods on either side, partly for the
purpose of bringing the soil under cultiva-
ton, and partly that it might not offer
shelter to the savages, who might seek to
approach the cabin with hostile intent
Some miles distant from the blockhouse,
which had been erected on Garrison Hill
and commanded by Major Waldron, they
would have little chance to escape thither
in case of danger, and so relied more
upon the stout walls of the cabin for de-
fence than the distant garrison.
The mill was not visible from the cabin.
1t stood in a wild, secluded spot on the
bank of the river, hemmed in with sharp
hills and heavy forests, through which
only rude path led, that was daily trod
by the owner Of the mill and those that
had business thereto. Deep shadows lay
across 1t, and hung over the mill like a
pail, and SO thick was the foliage upon
the banks that hardly a. ray of sunlight
ever found IFS way down upon the talking
water, as it hurried over the dam, and
was dashed upon the black rocks below

4 ROMANTIC STORY.-Here is a neat
little story from Kentucky: About twen-
ty-five wears ago young man from that
State took a horseback ride TO Virginia,
where his father came from, and on his
way he met a man and his family moving
West, so poor that they were almost re-
duced to starvation. He mad compassion
on the wretched group, and gave them
$40 bill with which to reach their jour-
ney's end. I'm about fifteen years the
young man received a letter from the man
he had befriepded, saying that he was 9
prosperous merchant in Southern Ken
tucky, and enclosing a $50 note to repay
his loan. After another ten years, which
included the great rebellion and It's ter
mination, he was elected TO the Lower
House of the Kentucky Legislature, and
being man of talent and Influence, was
chosen Speaker, during The contest for
which, he bad noticed that stranger and
one Of the other party was his strongest
supporters. His curiosity was aroused
by this, and he asked the mans motive,
rs he never had to his knowledge seen him
before 'tSir," replied the member, ''you
will recall, when l mention it, iule
scene that occurred when you were boy
on your way to Virginia. 1t was you
who saved my wife from starvation. She
has told me time and again, that never
did a morsel of food taste so sweet-so
utterly delicious,-as that you gave her
then. She was but six years old at that
time bnt when she saw your name, dur
ing the late canvas, among the prominent
probable candidates for the speakership,
she laid down the law as to how l was 10
vote. This is all. Neither she, nor her
father and mother, brother and sisters,
nor myself, can ever forget you.''g

How TO get a Dinner.

A GENTLEMAN who had travelled
"A about pretty extensively was great
ly perplexed to understand how it was
that other persons we're waited upon
promptly and well served at the hotels,
while he was almost entirely ignored, and
could scarcely obtain square meal, com
plain to aud swear at the walters as he
might, At last his eyes were opened to
the dodge Of feeling the walters liSerally,
and being of ingenious turn of mind, he
determined to improve on the plan

his seat very pompously at the table, and
took out well filed pocket. book, extract

that Miss Norton actually received a
proposal" from Mr.. Dawson, although
it was unknown to him.
AS she read the letter her face showed
both surprise and pleasure. Surprise at
the wording of the letter, while yet she
was pleased, as she could look upon it in
no other light than proposal for mar
riage, and if the truth was told, Miss
Norton had a high regard for Mr.. Daw.
son and had secretly hoped for such
proposal. A letter of that kind from any
other source would have met with a diff
ferent reception; but from him, knowing
that he was peculiar" the singularity of
it was overlooked, and after long con-
sideration, she sent him this reply:
"Mr. Dawson, Dear Sir-Your rather
singular letter is at hand, and in reply, al
low me to say, that have no objection to
discussion of the partnership" suggest
ed, if you feel disposed to call on me for
that purpose. Yours respectfully,
HELEN NoRToN."
The receipt of this letter was a great
surprise to Mr.. Dawson, and it was some
time before he could, in any manner, COM
prehend it, But at last, after puzzling
over it for several hours, the contents of
the letter intended for Mr.. Chrystie, fash
ed into his mind, and at once he knew
that by some means Miss Norton had re-
ceived that letter. From the tone of
her note, he felt sure she considered it a
"proposal," as, in fact, she could put no
other construction on his letter, and was
also confident that she was prepared to
give him favorable answer. But what
troubled him the most was, that she must
form a singular opinion of him to think
he would make proposal to the woman
he loved in such terms.
A few hours later found Mr. Dawson
entering the parlor Of Mr.. Johnson's res
idence, and to his great delight no per-
son was present but Miss Norton. She
welcomed him in a cordial manner while
he hastened to explain in regard to the
letter, and the partnership intended in
that case to be formed But" said he,
you can easily see who was in my
thoughts when | directed the letter, and
from the kindly manner in which you an
swered it, will take the liberty of pro-
posing a partnership which shall end
only with our lives"
That the proposal met her appreciation
is rendered certain by the fact that few
weeks later Robert Dawson, bachelor
was changed to Robert Dawson, benedict
There is no doubt but what this part.
nership proved mutually satisfactory, and
that it was paying investment is readily
proved by quite number of little Daw,

One Of Sheridan's Jokes.

" Sheridan was fond of practical jokes,
one of which he played off upon the Duke
of Devonshire. Sheridan was in the
habit Of frequenting Dolly's chop-house,
where he generally called for deviled
shin-bonc Of beef One day, coming in
rather later than usual, he was told that
the only shn-bone in the larder was being
cooked for his grace the Duke of Devon

person, though not acquainted with him.

began conversation with friend in a
loud tone Of voice. always imagin-

him very attentively. As | was passing

of the cooks ran up to him, and giving
him blow on the neck, compelled him
to drop his prize. "You dirty little

nothing else to eat? Here I've got to
cook this bone for the Duke of Devon

tale, waiter entered the room, and ad-
