Bosomworth, and of the real charac-
ter Of Mary. But, at this moment,
the door was thrown open, and to
the surprise of all, Mary burst into
the room. She had made her es-
cape from prison; and learning what
was gong on, she rushed forward
with the fury of tigress: "Seize
your arms, seize your armsl Re
member your promise, defend your
queen" .
: The sight of their queen seemed in
a moment to bring back all the orig.
inal ardor of the enterprise. In an
instant every chief seized his toma-
hawk and sprang from the ground,
to rally at the call of their queen.
AT this moment Captain Jones,
who was present, percelving the dan.
ger Of the president and the other
whites, drew his sword and demanded
peace.
The Indians east an eye toward
Mary, as If to inquire what they
should do. Her countenance fell.
Perceiving his advantage, Captain
Jones stepped forward, and in the
presence Of the Indians standing
round, again conducted Mary back 10
prison. A short Imprisonment so far
humbled Bosomworth and Mary that
each wrote letter, in which they
confessed the wrong they had done,
and promised if released that they
would conduct themselves with more
propriety in future. The people
kindly forgave them both, and they
left the city.

They told, they told, in mournful
numbers,
That / must never eat cucumbers;
They also told the reason why;
But, eat them! Yes, l would, or die.
And you, if you would only try it,
Would die, think, or have the diet.
In spite Of all advice and warning,
| ate them early in the morning,
And then, although mere beginner,
For breakfast, luncheon and for din
ner,
would embrace some two or three.
Ny feelings grew to such excess

l went from home, but still 1 met
them,
And higher higher did I rate them;
/ always wanted to forget them,
And always ate, and ate, and ate
them.

But now indeed l loved--I dotted.
| Travelled on; my love was growing,
And | kept going, going, going.

The river valleys, up and down,
The brooks and branches, and the

The hills and mountains and the

The railway stations and the trains
No matter where / chanced to meet

Ny only business was to eat them.

ROMANCE OF AN AMERICAN
QUEEN.


lish people, who were brought over
by General Oglethorpe, and pitched
their tents on the very spot now oc-
cupied by Savannah. In his inter
course with the Indians he was great
ly assisted by an Indian woman, whom
he found in Savannah, by the name
cf Mary Musgrove. She had resided
among the English, in another part
of the country and was well acquaint-
ed with their language. She was of
great use, therefore, to General Ogle-
thorpe in interpreting what he said
to the Indians and what they said
to him. For this service he gave her
a hundred pounds year.
Among those who came over with
General Oglethorpe was a man by
the name of Thomas Bosomworth.
who was the chaplain or minister Of
the colony. Soon after his arrival
he married the above mentioned In
dian woman, Mary Musgrove I'm
happily; Bosomworth was at heart a
bad man. although by profession he
was minister of the Gospel. He was
distinguished fer his pride and love
of riches and influence. At the same
time he was very artful; yet, on ac-
count of his profession he was for
a time much respected by the IN
dians.
At one Of the great councils of
the Indian, this artful man induced
some Of the chiefs to crown Malatche,
one of the greatest among them, and
to declare him prince and emperor
of all the Creeks. After this he
made his wife call herself the eldest
sister of Malatche, and she told the
Indians that one of her grandfathers
had been made king by the Great
Spirit over all the Creeks. The In
dians believed what Mary told them,
for since General Oglethorpe had been
so kind to her they had become very
proud of her. They called a great
meeting of the chiefs together, and
Mary made them long talk. She
told them that they had been injured
by the whites they were get
ting away the land of the Indians,
and would soon drive them from their
possession. Said she: "We must
assert cur rights; we must arm our
selves against them-we must drive
them from our territories-let us call
forth our warriors; / will head them
Stand by me, and the houses which
they have erected shall smoke in
ruins"
The spirit Of Queen Mary was con
tagious. Every chief present declar-
ed himself ready to defend her to the
last drop of his blood.
After due preparations the war
riors were called forth. They had
painted themselves afresh, and sharp
ened anew their tomahawks for the
battle. The march was now com
menced. Queen Mary, attended by
her Infamous husband, the real au-
thor Of all their discomfort, headed
the savage throng.

blow which was aimed against them.
BY this time the savages were in
sight of Savannah. At this critical
moment an Englishman, by the name
of Noble Jones, bold and daring
man, rode forth with few spirited
men on horseback to meet them. As
he approached them he exclaimed, in
voice like thunder: "Ground your
arms, ground your arms; not All
armed Indian shall set his foot in
this town.
Awe-struck by his lofty tone, and
perceiving him and his companions
ready to dash in among them, they
paused, and soon after laid down
their arms. Bosomworth and his
queen were now summoned to march
into the city, and it was permitted
the chiefs and other Indians to fol-
low but without their arms.
On reaching the parade-ground the
thunder Of fifteen cannon fired at
the same moment, told them what
they might expect should they per.
sist in their hostile designs. The In
dians were now marched to the house
of the president of the council in
Savannah.
Bosomworth was required to leave
the Indians, while the president had
friendly talk with them.
in his address to them he assured
them of the kindness of the English,
and demanded what they meant by
coming in this warlike manner. Ia
reply they told the president that
they had heard that Mary was to b
sent over the great waters, and they
had come TO learn why they were to
lose their queen.
Finding that the Indians had beer
deceived. and that Bosomworth was
the author Of all the troubIe-that he
had even intended to get possession
of the magazine, and to destroy the
whites-the council directed him to
be seized and to be thrown into
prison.
This step Mary resented with great
spirit. Rushing forth among the In
dians she openly cursed General
Oglethorpe, although he had raised
her from poverty and distress, and
declared that the whites should know
that the ground she trod was her
own.
The warlike spirit Of the Indians
being thus likely to be renewed, il
was thought advisable to imprison
Mary also. This was accordingly car
ried into effect. At the same time.
to appease the Indians, sumptuous
feast was made for the chiefs by
the president who, during the better
state of feeling which seemed to pre-
vail, took occasion to explain to them
the wickedness of Bosomworth, and
how, by falsehood and cunning, he
had led them to believe that Mary
was really their queen--a descendant
Of one Of their great chiefs.
