Baneful Rainbow,

An English traveller relates that he
was once on the road with a company
OF native followers, when there came on
shower. AS the rain ceased, brilliant
rainbow appeared. At this all his SER
wants covered their mouths with their
hats, to escape the poisonous vapors
ws:lch, as they declared, are always
given forth by rainbows!
The Englishman, as matter of
course, laughed at their foolishness, and
kept his lat on his head.
The CT !ous feature of the adventure
was that when he had gone only few
hundred ards. he was by some coinc;-
dence S, Led with sudden tit of yomit-

unusual incident having happened up to
the tune we introduce tuem to the
! reader. They were nearing their des-
tination, and were feeling iubilant over
| their thus far successful journey.
1t was beautiful morning, and Ada
Wright and her lover were standing
upon the bow of the front boat as it
lazily foated down the river, viewing
the beautiful scenery upon either shore,
and occasionally remarking upon some
unusual freak of the constantly chang
ing panorama before them.
| Suddenly on the still morning air,
and in tones Of the deepest distress,
came these startling words of entreaty !:
| For Gods sake save me! have
just escaped from the Indians,
and unless you take me on board the
red devils will catch me again! In the
name of God, implore you to pull
| ashore and save mel"
As the words rang out with startling
distinctness, all eyes on board the boats
We're directed to the south shore Of the
river, where they deserted a man in sup
| plicating attitude devoid Of covering to
his head, his hair hanging about his
| shoulders in disheveled masses, and his
garments apparently torn and rent, the
| unavoidable result of long and hasty
travel through the wood. He stood
some distance down the river from the
slowly descending boats, as if to give
himself autticient time to explain to the
emigrants his dreadful condition ere
they should pass him.
The occupants of the boats began
hastily to confer as to what had best be
done. The two emigrauts conversed u
few moments together, and then advance
ing to where young Worth aud Ada
were standing, Mr.. Wright an2iously
inquired;
"What think you, Sam? Had we
best pull ashore and take him IMP"
"It would be on unsafe undertaking,
answered the young man. He is only
decoy! If you run the boats ashore
you will discover, when too late, that
you have run into hornets nest
There's Indians in those bushes up
there!" and as he spoke he pointed to
the bank above where the supplicating
man was standing.
Can it be possible?" exclaimed Mr..
Wright in incredible tones.
tits not only possible, but altogether
probabie!" answered Sam. "Let me
interview him." he continued, and,
stepping to the edge OF the boat, he
called out:
GLOW came you to fall into the hands
of the Indians, and how did you es-
cape?"

ground with dull thud, still holding
| The form of his precious burden.
The next instant Sam beheld another
Indian darting towards him with up.
raised tomahawk, but ere he could
strike he was felled with a blow from
the tomahawk of Simon Kenton, who
had OPPORTUNITY appeared upon the
scene.
The surviving Indians were now flee
ing in all haste, and in short time none
were left except the dead and wounded.
The blow from the Indians tomahawk
which had struck Sans shoulder had
made an ugly wound, from which the
blood was now flowing freely; and a
sudden faintness overcoming the young
scout, he dropped limp to the ground
beside the form of his rescued darling.
But he soon rallied, and with the aid OF
Kenton, shortly had Ada revived and
upon her feet.
Kenton and his comrades then as
sisted the lovers back to the boat,
where they were properly cared for by
those on board.
Among the wounded was found the
white renegade who had so nearly de-
coyed the emigrants to their destruc-
ton. He lay in the shallow water on
the sand bar with bullet wound in his
left side near the heart. His wound
was mortal, and he soon expired, beg
ging the emigrants to forgive him for
the cruel part he had played.
On examination it was found that
Mr.. Wright had been wounded in the
arm from the blow of a tomahawk;
however, it proved to be nothing seri-
GUS. Two negroes had been killed, be-
sides number were wounded; other
wise the party had suffered no great
loss.

II was out hunting, SIR" answered
the man, land before was aware of
1t q half dozen Of the red devils pounced
upon me, and disarming me, compelled
me. with kicks and cuffs, to go with
them. For two days they dragged me
through the woods, when finally last
night l managed to break my bonds
and make my escape. I have been
travelling ever since. and am worn out
and nearly famished for food"
"A very fine story, but it won't work
with this crew! How many Indians
have you in ambush back of you up
there?"
"Oh, believe me, sir, I am telling YOU
the truth! There are no Indians in
ambush back Of me! Can you not see
that am in distress? o, help me!
For the love Of God, don't leave me
here to starye, and be captured by the
Indians again!"
20, Sam !" cried Ada, "he surely can
not be trying to deceive us, do you
think?"
"That is just what he is trying to do,
darling" answered Sam. "He would
decoy us into an Indian ambush, and
We would all be masacred!"
1T surely cannot lie as YOU saw"
exclaimed Mr.. Wright; then in stern,
commanding voice to the negroes who
were propelling the boats, he contin-
ued: "Turn the boats to shore! We
cannot leave a man in distress like
that"
The young scout expostulated. Coon
slider, Mr.. Wright, you are running
great risk; you place your life and that
of the entire crew in peril! He is but
q renegade, or, if not, he is prisoner in
the hands of the Indians. and they are
compelling him to act the part of de.
coy, on pain of DEATH"
But expostulation was useless. Mr..
Wright was determined to rescue the
seemingly unfortunate man at all haz.
ards. As it was vain to argue, Sam
proceeded to fit out the crew
with firearms, there being sup.
ply of rifles and ammunition on
board the boats; and had the negroes
been proficient in the use of the rifle,
they were band that would have been
! able to cope with a considerable BODY
of Indians.
Slowly the ungainly crafts crept
shoreward. The man on the shore
sheemed overjoyed at his success. j.
The forward boat was now within a
few rods of the bank. Suddenly from
the opposite side of the river, in tones
OF thunder, voice shouted these start
ling words of warning:
"Ho! thar! Dyes know whar' yes
goin'? Turn yer boats down stream
quick, eff yer don't want ter all be muir.

ened, were safe, and Mrs. Wright was
overlooked at the recovery of her daugh-
ter.
The scouts We're overwhelmed with
thanks and praise. Their providential
appearance at the right moment was
fully appreciated by all on board the
flat boats, and unbounded praise was
bestowed upon them for their heroism
and bravery.
After kindly assisting the emigrants
to begin the current OF the river once
more, the scouts embarked in their
canoe, and with many parting thanks,
from their new made friends, they shot
their craft to the northern shore, where
hastily pulling it into the dense under
brush that lined the bank, they disap-
peared from view.
The emigrants now continued their
journey down the river, and without
further molestation they arrived safely
at their point of destination.
They settled upon the fertile soil of
Kentucky, in favored spot, near the
tract of land Sam Worth had purchased,
and in the after years they grew to pros
porous and atfluent planters.
Two months from the date of this ter
rible experience with Indians on the
sand-bar in the Ohio River, Samuel
Worth and Ada Wright were united in
marriage, and, settling down upon their
claim, they too, soon became prosper
Gus, besides~being very happy.

New York,s Oldest HOUSE.

The Oldest house in New York stands
at l22 William street. 1t was build in
1892, during which year the corporation
opened up the streets between Wall and
Fair steets. Fair street is now called
Fulton street. Lots were sold by the
city, and one of the terms of purchase
required the buyer to erect buildings
thereon of brick or stone not less then
two stories high. The house was built
of narrow Dutch brick brought over
from Holland as ballast and laid in an
imperishable cement, which is as hard
to-day as the brick themselves.
On the grounds Immediately back of
the house was shed the first blood of
the revolution. This was at the battle
of Golden Hill, which was fought two
months before the Boston massacre.
About eighty members of the Six
teenth Regiment of Foot (English)
had taken up their position on the
highest point Of the Golden Hill, which
was situated on the block now bounded
by William, John, Fulthn and Gold
streets. The sons of liberty hastily
collected some muskets and pistol and
marched to the hill determined to dis
perse the soldiers and make them pris-
oners. Blood was shed on both sides.
One old man was shot through the
head, three citizens and five soldiers
were wounded. The house was used
at various periods before and during the
revolution as a tavern. Among its pat
rons were George Washington, Baron
Steuben, General Putnam and Lafay-
