THE IDIOTS REVENGE.

On the banks of the Santee, overlook
ing the beautiful river, whose dreamy
waters flowed laughingly past, stood the
little village of Brainard in the year of
1850. 1t consisted of dozen houses,
mostly built of wood, and was inhabited
by class of men who, leaving civiliza-
ton behiud them, sought homes in the
rude and remote forest, and with that
sturdy independence for which our early
pioneers were so remarkable, reared and
defended them in the strongholds of the
wolf and the savage 1t was quiet and
placid village, and save the rushing of
the river or. the fall of the tree from the
sxman's hands in the woods, nothing oc
Cured to disturb the serenity or cheer
fulness. The armies which we're then
contending for the mastery of this con-
tinent had not approached near enough
to cause alarm, ,and though vague rumors
of war and massacre, borne by runners,
we're occasionally heard, the honest vii.
layers deemed themselves secure in their
isolation, and continued their pursuits
the same as if the war did not exist.
One of the earliest settlers and the old.
est man in the village, was Abe Phillips.
His family consisted of son and daugh-
ter, the latter beautiful girl of eighteen,
the pride of the whole settlement as she
was of her fathers heart; bat, alas his
son was an idiot from birth. Barefooted
and bareheaded, he wandered through
the woods Or by the river, sometimes
absenting himself from home for days,
and 10 persuasion could ever induce him
to adopt civilized mode of life. He was
about twenty years of age at the time of
the incident we are about to narrate, and
as strong and rugged as the bears he
hunted. Joe Phillips seldom spoke to
any one except his sister, and was never
known to laugh except in her presence
But though moody and morose he was
Of harmless disposition, and was nei-
ther avoided nor feared by his neigh
bors, but pitied by all.
One beautiful August evening, as the
woodmen sat smoking their corn-cob
pipes after days toll, and indulging in
that agreeable repose which only toiler
at evening can feel, they we're suddenly
startled 10y the arrival of stranger
among them; breathless and painting he
reached the village, and with wild gestic-
tulalions shouted TO those who FIRST came

too, with presentiment of his coming
