Gbnerax Schuyler was one of the American officers in the army which fought for our freedom. He figured largely in those stirring scenes which took place on the Hudson, and Mohawk rivers, when the English Generals hired the-In duns to come ana Tight on their side. General Schuyler'bad.great influence with red men; they loved and feared him; so the English wished'he was out of the Way 5 and as he did not get Shot on the field of battle, a plot was hatched to waylay and murder him. . ... Two men werp, pl-odk-ed. oiit to do this bloody deed, an Englishman and an In dian. The day and time were set; they shouldered their rifles and took their stand behind a clump of trees which; he .had to pass hy on his way home. After waiting and watching some time' the General hove in sight. He was on horseback and alone. Now, of never! aim. In a minute more, the General, would have been a dead man. At that instant- the Indian knocked down the Englishman’s gun, crying: “ I cannot kill him ; I have eaten his bread too often.” The (General rides o%unhamied; he has buckled on an in visible .armor stronger than brass, and he is safe. What was it ? The armor of friendly actions. The Geneial had often relieved the -distresses of the poor red men; he had fed them when hungry, and clothed them when naked; and now British gold cannot buy up the grateful memory of his. kindness, as it melts the murderer’s heart. “I can’t kill him; I have eaten his bread too often 1” Oh ! what power there is in friendly ac tional They not only make you friends,, but disarm your enemies.
