BE Patient Win the Living.

Sweet friend, when thou and I are gone
Beyond eartifs weary labor,
When small shall be our need Of grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the singing
What fender truth Shall we have gained
Alas by simply dyingi
Then lips too ehary Of their praise
Will tell our merits over
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover
Then hands that would not lift a stone
When stones were thick to eumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillOVed slumber
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the LIVING,
To-day's repressed rebuke may save
Oar binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen when keenest edge
May whct nameless sorrow.
'T is easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence -sbames- our clamOr,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor;
But Wise il were for thee aud me,
Ere love is past forgiYing, l
To take the tender lesson home

CHAPTER VII.
THE INDIAN SUMMER.

AS connected with the history of
the Indian wars of the western
country, it may not be amlss to give
an explanation of the term "lndian
summer
Thisexpression, like many others,
has continued in general use, not
withstanding its original import
has been forgotten. A backwOods-
man seldom hears this expression
without feeling chill of horror,
because it brings to his mind the
painful recollection of its original
application. Such is the force of
the faculty of association in human
nature.
The reader must here be remind
ed that, during the long continued
Indian wars sustained by the first
settlers of the west, they enjoyed
no peace except in the winter sea-
son, when, owing to the severity of
the weather, the Indians were un-
able to make their excursions into
the settlements. The onset of winter
was therefore hailed as a jubileeby
the early inhabitants of the country,
who throughout the spring and
early part of the fall had been
cOOped up in their little uncOmfort
able forts and subjected to all the
dlstresses of the Indian war.
At the approach of winter, there
fore, all the farmers excepting the
owner of the fort removed to their
cabins on their farms, with the JOY

ment. All was hustle and hilarity
in preparing for winter, by gather
ing in the corn, digging potatoes,
fatteniDg hogs, and repairing the
cabins. To our forefathers tue
gloomy months Of winter were more
pleasant than the zepbyrs and the
| flowers OF May.
Il however sometimes happened,
after the apparent onset of winter,
the weather became warm; the
smoky time commenced, and lasted
for considerable number of days.
This was the Indian summer, be-
cause it afforded the Indians
another opportunity of visiting the
settlements with their destructive
warfare. The melting of the snow
saddened every cOuntenance, and
the genial warmth OF the sun chill
ed every heart with horror. The
apprehension of another visit from
the Indians, and Of being driven
back to the detested tort, was pain
ful in the highest degree, and the
distressing apprehension was fire.

Toward the latter part Of Febru.
ary we commonly had fine spell

the snow melted away. This was

from the supposition that the In.
dians were then holding their war
councils for planning of their
spring campaigns into the settle

that in this conjecture we we're not

that in this conjecture we were not
often mistaken.
Sometimes it happened that the
Indians yentured TO make their eI-
cursi0ns too late in the fall or too
early ~ the spring for their own
convenience.
\ man Of the name of John Car
penler was taken earlyin the month
Of March, IN the neighborbood Of
what is now Wellsburg. There had
been several warm days, but on the
night preceding his capture there
vas a heavy fall of snow. His two
horses, which they took with him,

self suffered severely with the cold
before they reached the Moravian
towns on the Muskingum. In the
morning after the first days journey
beyond the Morayian towns the In
dians sent out Carpenter to bring
in the horses, which had been turned
cut in the evening after being hob
bled. The horses had made a cir.
cult and fallen into the trail by
which they came, and we're making
their way homewards.
When Carpenter overlook them,
and had taken off their fstters, he
had, as he said, to make most
awful decision. He had chance
and barely chance to make his
escape, with certainty Of death
should he attempt it without sue.
cess; While ON the other hand, the
horrible prospect Of being tortured
to death by fire presented ITSELF
AS he was the first prisoner taken
that spring, of course the general
custom of the Indians, OF burning
the first prisoner every spring,
doomed him to the flames.
After spending few minutes IN
making his decision, he resolved
on attempting an escape, and effect
ed it by way Of forts Laurens,
M'IDtosh and Pittsburg. Ii | recOl.
ect rightly, he brought both his
horses home with him. This
happened in the year 1882. The
capture of Mr.. Carpenter, and the
murder of two families about the
same time, that is to say, 10 the
two or three first days of March,
contributed materially to the Nora
vian campaign, and the murder Of
that unfortunate people.
