that we are not accorded the consider
alton to which we are entitled, as the
present Board don't seem to care
whether Warren township has any
roads or bridges or not. allowing

a CHEROKEE ROMANCE.
How a PENNSYLVANIA Girl Became the Wife
ot an Indian Chief.

On a prominent eminence in the
prairie overlooking the town Of Table
quah has been solitary grave for six.
teen years. IL contained the remains of
Mary Downing, the wife of full-hlood.
ed Cherokee chief, Lewis Downing. At
the time OF her death the place was her
home and it was her dying request that
She should be buried on the summit of
the hill. Since then the property
has passed into strange hands, and the
grave has been in the midst of corn
Held. The present owner, 4 gentleman
from Georgia, hearing that she was
chiefs wife, thought it was due her to
rest in 4 more sacred place. So her re-
mains were eXhumed to-day and taken
10 the TahleQuah cemetery. Her
maidenname was Mary Aver. She was
born in Bethlehem, Pa, was educated
and accomplished, and Il woman of
wealth. She had romantic ideas, and her
infatuatiOn for Indians was extreme.
In 1865, Chief Lewis Downing was
sent TO Washington, u. c.. on business
for the CherOkeeS. Though a full
blood he spoke English quite well.
While at Washington he had occasion to
visit Bethlehem, and accidentally met
Miss Aver, who fell desperately in love
with him. The chief fingered longer in
Bethlehem than he had intended, not
being able 10 tear himself away from
the charms of so fair lady,
and ere his departure had won
her consent TO be his bride and share 4
place in his wigwam. 1t was agreed
between the two that she could follow
him To the Territory and be mar
ried at the capital. She required six
months 20 dispose Of her property and
convert her ValuableS into cash. Chief
Downing returned To his nation, and
with him il proved "out of sight, out of
mind" The ardOr Of his love soon
cooled, and he wrote Withdrawing his
engagement.
She, after reading his letter, remark
cd that lit tool, two to make Il contract
and two TO break it," and so wrote him.
Before this letter had reached the chief
he had married 4 dUSky maiden of his
own tribe. Miss Aver having gotten
everything i'm readiness, started for the
Territory. According TO the contract
she arrived AT TaleQuah, and on hear
Ing Of of his marriage, made up her
mind to make her home among his peo-
pie. devoting her life to their advance
ment. Years elapsed and the chiefs
wife died. Miss Aver being still single,
he renewed his vows, and was again ac-
ceptcd. They We're married, and went
10 the home she had built.
The life she had lcng dreamed of was
realized. but not long was she permitted
90 I'm his house with light and love ere
death claimed her. On her deathbed
she told the chief that on the third
evening after her death she would re-
turn To him at her home. But he, in
hcritiug the superstition OF his race,
closed the house after the funeral and
returned to his home, about thirty
miles distant. on Graud river Ii is said
that on the third night after her burial
lights were seen moving from window
TO window, and the Indians believe to
this day that she reappearcd on that
night.

used in the Bible story and you find
it was not a pillow Of stone, but of
stones, suppose, so that If one proved
to be of uneven surface he would turn
over in the night and take another
stone, for with such hard bolster he
would often change in the night. Well,
that night God built in Jacobs dream a
long splendid ladder, the feet of it on
either side of the tired pilgrims pillow,
and the top of it morticed in the sky.
And bright immortals came out from
the castles of amber and gold and put
their shining feet on the shining rungs
of the ladder, and they kept coming
down and going up, a procession both
ways.
suppose they had wings, for the
Bible almost always reports them as
having wings, but this was ladder on
which they used hands and feet to en-
courage all those of us, who have no
wings, to climb, and encouraging us to
believe that, if we will use what we
have, God will provide Il way and if we
will employ the hand and the foot, He
will furnish the ladder. Young man,
do not wait for wings. Those angels
folded theirs to show you wings
are not necessary. Let all the peo-
pie who have hard pillows, hard
for sickness or hard for poverty or hard
for persistence, know that hard pillow
is the landing place of angels. They
seldom descend to pillows of elder
down. They seldom build dreams in
the brain of the one who sleeps easy.
The greatest dream of all time was
that of st. John with his head on the
rocks of PatmoS, and in that vision he
heard the seven trumpetS sounded, and
saw all the pomp of heaven in procession
cherubc, Seraphic, archangelic. The
next most memorable and glorious dream
was that of John Bunyan, his pillow
the told stone of the floor of Bedford
jail, from which he saw the celestial
city, and so many entering it,, he cried
out in his dream: Il wish myself among
them" The next most wonderful dream
was that OF Washington sleeping on the
ground at Valley Forge, his head on Il
white pillow-caSe of snow, where he saw
the vision of nation emancipated.
Columbus slept on weaver'S pillow, but
rose on the ladder let down until he
could see new hemisphere.
That night at Bethel, stood in front
of my tent and looked up and the heav-
ems were full of ladders, first ladder
of clouds, then IA ladder of stars, and all
up and down the heavens were angels
of beauty, angels of consolation, angels
of God, ascending and descending.
"Surely no." But tonight God is in
this place and know it.
