In my heart there liveth a picture Of a kitchen rude and old. Where the firelight tripped o'er the rafter And reddened the roof's brown mold; Gilding the steam of the kettle That hummed on the foot-wom hearth. Throughout nil the evening. Its measures of drowsy mirth. Bemuse of the three light shadows That frescoed the rude old room Because ol the voices echoed Up mid the rafters' gloom " Because of the feet on the fender, Six restless, white little feet. The thoughts of that dear old kitchen Are to me so fresh and sweet. When the first dah at the window Told of the coming raiu, O! where are the fair young faces That crowded against the pauc? While bits of firelight stealing Their dimpled cheeks between, Went struggling out in darknesa In shreds of silver sheen. Two of the feet grew weary, One dreary. diVmul day. And we tied them v. ith snow-white ribbons. Leaving them by the way: There was fre.-h clay on the Tender That weary, wintry niirht, For th four little Icet had tracked it From the grave on the bright hill's height. Ol why, on this darksome evening. 1 his evening ol ran and Fleet, Rft my leet all alone on the hearthstone? . O! where are those other feet? Are they treading the pathway of virtue 1 nat will biinir us together above? Or have they made steps that will dampen A sister s tire!e.s love From the Indiana (Pa.) Progress. 11 U A - I I O IK li. A . A Xcsrcutl ol the '-Alum liaiikN." One of the greatest natural curiosities in Western Pennsylvania ia the "Ai.um Banks" on the Conetnanh river. Tlicy are situated upon the eastern bank of the stream, about half a mile above the luwu of IJlairsville, and coiifcist of a perpendicu-. lar ledge of rocks some two hundred and lifty feet in height and at least one hun dred feet in extent along tbe margin of the river. Tbe summit is level, and, until a few years ago, was covered by timber and unde.rgrowtlt of the same character as was that of the adjacent territory. Thebe rocks are strongly impregnated with alum, as the name by which they are familiarly known would eecra to indicate. Juist about one hundred yeais ago a tribe of Indians, or rather tbe remnant of a tiibe, migrated westward from the val ley of the iSusquehanna and located in this vicinity. Their councils were "held upon the "Alum Banks," and the unfortunate victims who fell into their hands and were condemned to suffer death, were also exe cuted at that place. And here, upon the summit of these rocks, was enacted a scene which for thrilling interest in per haps not excelled by anything iu the annals of the red men. The chiel of the tribe, who had just en tered upon old age, was notorious for a cruel, morose and extremely stubborn dis position " Once having passed his word, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, he changed not ; and these characteristics he carried out to such an extent as to pre fer the sacrifice of his own offspring rather than swerve from a cruel decision, as the following narrative fully exemplifies: An only daughter, over whose head not more than eighteen summers had passed, was all that was left to him of a once large family. She was fjic only tie that bound him to life, and he lavished on her all the paternal love of which his nature was capable. Besides being intelligent beyond the ordinary standard of her si-x and-people, she was endowed with unusual physical beauty. Her form was erect and symmetrical, . and her features were regularly and delicately fashioned and de void of those distinguishing marks whicn render the Indian face disagreeable and repulsive. Her hair, which fell in profu sion' over her neck and shoulderp, was fine in quality and of a light golden color, and . - . . T f 1 1 so tuis "crowning glory or woman wan she indebted for the name of Hua-IIonka, or the "Fair-IIaired." ' A young Seneca brave, who was on' a visit to the tribe, became warmly attached to the maiden and finally succeeded iu winning her love. His suit, contrary to all expectations, met with the approbation of tbe old chief, and the young brave was entertained in-a courteous and friendly manner until in the course of events a se rious difficulty aroae between his own peo ple and the tribe which he was visiting. Then the old chief required his immediate departure and at the same time forbade his daughter, upon pain of death, to speak to or hold any intercourse with the Scueca brave. . . The young brave immediately complied with the demand of the old chief, and returned lo his tribe. . Upon some pre text, however, he repeated his visit, aud the maiden sought an occasion to commu nicate to him the restrictions laid upon her by her father, and also warned him of the danger by whih he was threatened in thus returning unbidden. They finally separated, as they supposed, unseen or tuiheard by any one. But such wasnot the case- A i?py, nppoiuted by theold chief to watch their movement;-, succeeded in bearing all that passed be tween them ; and being, moreover, a re jected lover of the maiden, thro' motives cl revenge exaggerated UL report of the interview to such an extent that the old man was almost frantic with rage and in dignation. The young brave, on parting with the maiden, made good his escape and has tened to his own tribe, for what purpose was not then known ; but Hua-IIonka was arrested, arraigned before the council and summarily condemned as a criminal. Her father, with inhuman sternnesa aud cruelty, sentenced her to sutler death on a certain day then not far distant. In the meantime every precaution was taken to prevent her escape; and, inas-. much as the young brave had gone home to his people, and was in all probability ignorant of her eiltration, IIualIonka did not anticipate the possibiiity of a rescue, so after several ineffectual ellbrts to elude the vigilance of- her guards, she resolved to meet her fate with such. fortitude as became the daughter of .a great though cruel and inhuman chief. The place selected for her execution, as upon all other occasions, was within a few yards of tbe brink of the precipice which is formed by the "Alum Banks." Hua-Hor.ka, much exhausted by the close confinement and the anxiety which she had experienced since her arrest, was brought to the spot with her hands pin ioned behind her back and closely guarded by two warriors. With no small degiee of rudeness she was bound and fastened to the trunk of a tree iu such a manner as to deprive her of al! motion, the cords with which she was secured being so tighily drawn as almost to lacerate the flesh- A glance at thesitua!ion and the num ber of warrion assembled revealed the impossibility of escape, even if the faint hope of rescue had been entertained by her, while the dark eyes of her father, in flamed by a passion truly demonical, told her plainer than words could have ex pressed that neither pity or mercy was to be obtained at his hands. However she gave no manifestation of emotion, but with characteristic Indian stoicism calmly surveyed the scene around her. Still, as I the decisive moment drew close to hand that was to usher her spirit from time into eternity, and her inevitable doom became j more fully impressed upon her mind, a feeling of anxiety and overwhelming fear crept into her heart. She cast one easer, longing glance at the familiar faces and objects with which bhe was surrounded, and then turning her eyes to the deep blue vault of heaven, silently but earnestly committed herself into the hands of the Great Spirit, who she doubted not would soou welcome her to the t-piiitual hunting grounds of her people. The preliminary arrangements were speedily completed. The warrioiF, full' armed, were drawn up iu a simi-ciicular line around her, the empty space in their ranks being protected by the jtiecipice, thus closing up every nvenue of escape, even had she remained unbound. Five joung wariiors, wiih arrows adjusted to their bows, stood in readiness to execute the sentence of death ; and in the midst of a profound silence, when every eye was intently bent upon the fair and helpless victim, the inhuman old chief advanced to give the signal for the murder of his own child. But just as the words were formina on his lips a wild yell of rage reverberated through the fore&t and prevented their ut terance ; and immediately after the young brave and a band of his warriors, wiih distorted features and uplifted tomahawks, rus-hed into the circle. ' For a moment the assailed parly were seized with consternation, and" stood sii!!, as if looted to the ground, but tlie voice of their chief soon recalled them to their perilous situation and their duty, and a fierce and bloody hand to Laud contest ensued. Although inferior in numbers, the ad vantage gained in the onset remained with the assail. mis, who were, driving the ene my before them, and the young brave, with some three or lour of, hid warriors, was rapidly forcing hi.s way to the spot where Hun-llouka was bound to the tree, an unwilling and terrified spectator of the combat, confident of achieving her rclcate and subsequent safety. But the wary old chief no sooner ob serve: the movement and conjectured Us object than every other consideration was forgotten in a savage resolution to destroy his child, who he feared would be carried off by one whom he now considered his deadly foe if she were not disposed of in a summary wajf. - liaising a yell ot rage aud defiance, he rushed forward with the fiendish determination of taking her life with his own hand or perishing in the at tempt. The apparent intention of the old man drew an exclamation of horror from the lips of the young brave, and furious at !he thought of losing his bride when just with in his reach, with an elFort almost super human he thrust aside every obstacle that presented itself and seized the uplifted arm of the old chief who was just in the act of plunging his knife into the bieast of his helpless -child. A fearful struggle, hand fo hand, itn mediately took place, in which the old man fought with a desperation that coun terbalanced the greater activity of the young brave, and proved himself uo mean or unworthy antagonist. The warriors, alarmed at the perilous position of their respective chiefs, made every exertion to reach the spot and ter minate the single combat that was raging with such dreadful fury. The young Seneca took in the situation at a glance. The decisive blow had to be dealt. Not a moment was to be lost, or certain defeat, ' and, in all probability, extermination; would result to Iris' brave' band of followers,- Rendered deeperate by this fact and the additional thought as to the fate of Ilua-llonka. in case he should fail, he seized the old chief witli a grasp 6f i-on,' and, with a power that astonished himself, raised him from the ground, and, putting his whole soul into the effort, threw him many feet beyond the brink of the precipice. " In a moment more the form of the savage old chief fell upon the rocks below, a maDgled and dis gusting"mass. . Surprise and horror checked the further advance of his followers, who quicklv sought safety in flight, but being eagerly puisued by the victorious wariiois, few succeeded in making good their escape. Among the-dead were the five young men, stricken down at the time of the assauli, who had so readily consented to become the executioners of a helpless femalibut a few hours before, and when night closed in upon the scene, of the numerous tribe who had that day assembled upon the "Alum Banks" to witness the execution of the fairest and best of their number, less than halt a score remained alive to tell the tale. . The young brave lost no time in sever ing the bonds which bound his bride to the tree, and she soon recovered from the elFects of the terrible ordeal through which she bad passed. Without regret she bid farewell to the scenes where she had passed many happy days, now never more to be recalled except with feelings of horror, and was carried by the young brave to his tribe on Lake Seneca, where they and their descendants engaged in agricultural pursuits. They lived happily together to a green old age, and not many years Ago, when the young brave died, there were many among his acquaintances who mourn ed the deatli of "Cokm'I.antki;," the cel ebrated old Seneca chief. II. li. THE SQUUt 12 AXD 1V1FU. The Squire had a friend to visit him on business, and was very much annoyed to be interrupted by his wife, who came to ask him what he wanted for dinner. "Go away ! let us aloue !" impatiently said the Squire. Business detained his fiiend until afler dinnertime, and the Squire urged him-to icmain. The Squire was a generous pro vider, proud of his table, and he compla cently escoited his friend to a seat. A little to the surprise of both, ihey saw nolhii on tiie board but a huge dish of salad, which iho good wife bejian quietly to dish up. "My dear," said the Squire, "where arc the meats" "There are none to-day," said his lady. "No meal ! What in the name of pov city! The vegetables, then. Why don't you have them brought in ?" "You didn't order any." "Order? I don't order anything," said the amazed Squire. "You forget,"' coolly answered the housewife. '-I asked what we should have, and you said, 'Lettuce alone' Here it is" The friend hurst ir.lo a laugh, and the Squire, after looking lugubiions a moment, joined him. " Wife. I cive it tip. I owe you one. Here is the fifty dollars you wanted for the carpet which I denied you." Th Squire forked over. ' Now lei's have peace, and some dinner." The good woman pocketed (he paper, rang the lell, and a sumptuous repast of li.-b, poultry and vegetables was brought in. A few days after fhe Squire remained working in his .garden, pome lime after the usual tea hour. Hi.s wife grew im patient of delay, and went to find him. His xciise, wl.rn asked what l.e was wailing for, threw her into aflutter of ex citement. 'Some on's to come to supper," she exclaimed "Wl y didn't urn tell me? 1 declare you ate the piovokiutiest man!" And without asking which of his li ionds was expected, she hastened lo change her dress and slick up her hair for the occa sion. This done the c:.me out and found the Squire seated at the table reaJin- liis newspaper. "Where's your ronuiftny " 'My company ! 1 haven't any com pany." . ' "But you sail! you expected somelody to supper," exclaimed the indignaut wife "My dear, I said no such thing. Yon asked what I was waiting for, and I said summons to come lo snrper that's what I "was waiting for, my denr; and I came' at once." 4 'And vou have made me no and chatve my dress. O, I'll make you pay-'for thial" "No matter about it my dear; I owed you, you remember, for that lettuce."

MISSCD It IS M A UK. True Storr uf Urnturky iu Oldcu Tliii. r i '; ' 1. ' ' --j A few- days ago, ,n the office of . at- orney here, I heard a wttness asked,.; " hat ,s your age, and what has been , your occupatmn for the past forty-five i years ? And the answer to this elicited ! a narrative of one of the most .interesting adventures and Jiair-brcudih escapes char acteristic of the first part of the present century in this seclton of the common wealth. ' " '" The question was -asked by Judge Du lancy, and Robert Davis, the witness an swered that his age was seventy-two years ; and, for the purpose of answering the balance of the question turned t'o an old acquaintance in the room, and asked him, What -year was it that fellow shot at me near" the Lii-.pii.g Spiii.gs? fur that was my first yeai's experience in the tobacco trade." When -lh. witness had been released fiom his examination, we desired to know the particulars of the in cident referred lo, and Le.f.i voted us with fhe following : . . . "In the year 18 I was agent in the Green liver country-, for a large tobacco house in Aew Orleans. There was no express companies through this country then, and I had just returned from New Orleans, In urging with me a large amount of money for the purpose of paying tor the. tobacco I had purchased and shipped, and to make future purchases for the same house. I stopped one night at the Dripping Spiings about fifteen tuiles noilh of Bowling Green, on iheLoufsville and Nashville turnpike. This" was the stop ping phice then for travelers going over to the Alatnmoth Cave. From this point 1 was desirous of reaching a faimer'd Who resided not far lrom the cave, ami, accord ingly, after sealing my bill with the hotel keeper at the springs, left caily the next morning for that point. , In those days, at almost every hotel in this section oi the country, there was certain to be found a class of men pecu liar to those times and this part i t" ihe country ; men tf good address and uiai.lv appeal a'ice, and who, without labor ol any kind, lived upon the fat of the land, as loui.d at the old stage' stands and couu try taverns, but of whose previous l.i.-i.n v nothing could ever be learned, and who yet secrued never" to be withholding any secret from their associates, and even cas ual acquaintances. Such was a man bv the name of Potter, then living iU the Dripping Springs. "After leaving there, ' I rode over on the rugged and almost mountainous load leading lrom the finings to the. cave, un til I leached the branch that crosses the road, about two miles beyond the springs. It was a warm, sultry day. and I sio.ped here, as I Lad been sulKring from head ache, to bathe my head in thesireutn. 1 dismounted from my h..rse, and held fjic bridle while I knelt on a lock ; and at I in very instant I stooped over, 1 hcaid the sharp crack, of a lill", and, iu looking 'up, I taw this man I'ottcr coming aim. si on a run fiom out of some bushes toward me ; and I afterward remembered the ex ceedingly jerpkxed look ofsuipri.-e upon his ciunitiiai.ee when I ,iski d. 'A hat was l.e shooting at V II.: s.ud, A tuike, and commenced -1 lo.ul his "(in n-ain. I mounted yiy horse and rode' i,ht'J . not doubling his word. A few yards liotn this point the road turned, and on my looking around fn ui here, I aa'w that he was loading very excitedly, and there was a peruliar something in the manner in wnieh he turned up his charger to pour in the. powder that caused my first suspi cion ol the truth.. It has been upward ol 4. years, but ihere is no unuiory more distinct iirmy mind than I he si'raSige," un accoiinluble look of that n.au, as he ap peared nt th.tr moment.
