T!ie piece of I.i-tory I am aTio;it to rr;ft'.a is one of t!ie many similar inci.lonts that oc currcl during the early settlement of the iur We-d;. Those who s.-mght a home in the snvnge wills which then covers I the western . tml wctlileii rlieniselve's to a liTe f.f peril and hardship. The dangers which continually threatened theai called foith all the heroic qualities of their nat;ire, and their lives were marked Ly many a lofty deed of daring and devotion. Such dee 1 .should not sink into oblivion, for they helono; to the history of our noble country, and as such they sho ild be recorded and remembered. We wiil pre.-ent a picture to the imtorinri tion of the reader : There is a broad and beautiful stream, with its deep, still tvaters flowing on between banks covered with lux uriant foliage, and it bright surface dotted here and there with fairy little isles, where gr.ieef;il shrubs and fragrant flowers bud and blossom undisturbed in wild and lonely loveliness. T.iids of bright plumage and great vaik-ty are winning their way through the quiet forest, and the surrounding scene echoes with their tuneful minstrelsy. On the border of the river, tit the edge of a for est that stretches fur away over bill and dale, stands the rude b:tt picturesque hut of a trapper, with the blue smoke curling tip from its lowly roof, and its humble wails glancing out from the green foliage that t:r )ond t'uMii. There are sonic indications of ta-te and refinement near the tittpper's home which gives a cheerful appearance to that otherwise wild and lonely scene. A g acefol vine cm tains the lowly window, mid many bright flower, native of the dis tant soil, she i their grate! ui pe:f wiie around. Near the door hangs a cage containing a rare and beautiful bird, whose song of glad ness breaks sweetly upon the stillness of that solitary place. On a low seat at the cntrp.nee to ti e cabin is seen a young woman, caressing an infant, she has lost the bio uning loveliness of eariy youth her cheek is piile, and her brow wears that thoughtful expie-sion which 13 imprinted by the touch of care; yet she i3 ti.l beui-ifjl in f-u-ui and feature, and none rrny look upon her without admiration. As she bends over the child in her arms, lier eyes fill with that unutterable tenderness and love which are only seen in the eye of a mother, and which make the face of a beau tiful woman almost angelic. Now and then fhe turned from the chi'd, to send an anx ious glance toward the forest, ass if she watched for the appearance of some one from that direction. She is momentarily expecting her bus band. He left his home at noon ; the hour appointed for Ids return lias passed away ; the shadows of the tree are lengthening in the rays of the setting sun; and yet he conies not. The fond wife begins to tremble for his pafty a fearful foreboding of evil steals over her mind, and the dark dread of some approaching calamity haunts her ini anuiation. She has reason to liar ; for that portion of country was, at that time, the theatre of many a tragic scene. Sometimes the trapper and hunter, in penetrating too far iuto the pathless recess of the forest, lost his way, and wandered for many days in the dreary wilderness, suffering many miseries, and perishing at last by the pangs of hunger. Sometimes a hungry beat of prey would cross the path of the wanderer, and doom him to a dreadful death. Sometimes the wily red man, who yet lurked about those lonely wilds, entrapped the white hunter, nnd iYoni the spirit of revenge, or the thirst for blood, sacrificed his victim with the most wanton and barbarous cruelty. As the anxious wife thought of these things, her fears and forebodings became al inosti'nsiipportable. Hushing the infant to sleep, she carried it iuto the dwelling, and depo-ited it in its cradle bed ; she then hast ened forth again, -and wandered along the path that led to the lores t, anxiously looking forward the while for her husband. She walked onward for some time, fondly h.-ping to see the ohj ?ct of her search ; but her hopes were in vain, sending one more searching . lance around, and seeing nothing but the "loomy shadows of the trees, site turned, with a heavy heart, to retrace her steps homeward. ' s she was proteed.ng homeward, a sud den fear for her child, whom she had left olune, crossed her mind, ami cuu w , hasten forward. Drawing Dearer to the. ! building, this fear became so intense that it amounted almost to a conviction of some terrible calamity. Flying, rather than walk ing, she reached the house nnd sprang to the crad:e; it was empty, nnd the child no where to be seen ! Wit't frantic eag -rne-g she rushtd to the back door of the dwelling, which she had left closed, and now found was open. She wa.t .just in time to fb a party of Indian rapidly making for the woods Her heart whispered the terrib'? as surance that they e. bearing away its treasure. Here was a trying situation for a helpless woman, her husband far off, perhaps in peril, her child her first-born and only one torn sway by the rude grasp of a savage ' dread night approaching, and no earthly arm to aid ! Without pausing for reCeetiort, the mother flew along the path taken by the Indians ; now and then she caught a glimpse of their forms as they moved rapidly through the forest, but as twilight deepened, and sur rounding o'yeets became more indistinct, even that slight comfort wa denied her, and she traced her gloomy pathway without knowing whether or not it would bring her nearer to her, ohject of pursuit. Yet she paused not a moment in indecision, but hastened onward through the increasing darkness, unconscious of the uncertainty of her search and the wi!dus of her expedi tion. She had hut one thought one hope nnd that was to be near tier c'.ild to save it if it could be saved, or perish with it if it must perish. Strong in this determination she pushed forward, thoughtless of fatigue and fearles of peril. As the night advanced, the wind roc and sighed am-mg the trees with a mournful and heart-ehi! ir.g sound. The stars which had hitherto sited a faint light through the b.anciies, were now veiled in black clouds that seemed to presage a storm ; and ever and anon the shrill croak- . ing of a night-bird, or the prolonged howl of some beast of prey, was borne to the ear ; of the unhappy wanderer, making fearful thoughts and warning her of the dangers : which surrounded her j Those wljo have never roamed in the for- ' est at midnight can scarcely realize how ' much that is terrifying is connected with : Fuch a journey. At one time the howl of ! the hungry wolf will burst so suddenly and ' clearly on the ear that we can scarcely pur suade ourselves that the monster is not close at our side at another, the falling of a de cayed branch, nil! prolucj such a loud and fea: fa! sound that wedeem ii the fata, plunge : Which must doom us to destruction. Now the wind will come with a fiiful and mourn- ; ful c.ide .ce, so like the human voice that we, for an instant, believe it the wail of an agonized being, and again it will sweep by with a rushing sound like a troop of en raged monters bent on a mission of death. ! Sometimes an unseen, low-drooping branch ; will softly touch the shoulder, congealing the warm current of life with the idja that a spectral Iitiii 1 has suddenly arrested our progress; and ag:d:i a llack und Masted tree, with on or two sere branches protrud ing from its side, will, for an intaut. still the pul-ation of the heart, as we belio! 1 in it a frightful phantom, stretching forth its inns to grasp rmr shrinking form. Ail this and in .re must one feel nnd ferr in a lonely midnight pilgrimage through the forest; and all this the mother endured as she pursued her ahnot hopeless enterprise. ; She had traveled far, very far, for the dark- : ness of the night and the intricacies of the road had scarcely lessened the speed wich ' which she commenced her walk, and she had , been many hours on the way. Weariness ! was beginning to overcome her hope was ; departing from her heart and despair chill- j ing all her energies when she discovered, : afar off through the trees, a light. It was , but a feeble g'immer, yet oh! how it irradi- j j a ted the path of the wanderer! The in- ; I stunt she discovered it, hope sprang back to : the heart, and strength invigorated her frame. That faint and far off way seemed : the light oT returning happiness, and she watched it as eagerly as the mariner watch- j es the star that guides him over ocean's t-tormy waves. . j She now hastened forward with redoubled enenry, and though her step sometimes filt ered, and her heart sank within her as the ' light disappeared behind some intervening ; o' jeet, she still kept her eye steadily on the beacon, nnd soon gained a position where it , shone brightly before her, and she could approach without losing sight of it again. ; A she drew near, she gazed upon the scene which that light revealed with mingled feel- ; ings of astonishment, hope, and fear. There was a large fire built of the dried branches . of trees, and around it lay the dusky forms j of five or six Indians reposing on the ground, j Their appearance was savage and fearful in j the extreme; each with his painted features j lighted by the fitful glare of the fire, and his towahawk and scalping-knife gleaming at his side. Near them were implements of . hunting, and around the fire lay the seat- j tered bones and fragments of a rude and ; hasty repast. The whole scene was calculated to strike terror to the heart of the delicate being who gazed upon it. Dut she scarcely saw the rude savages or their implements of death, j for her whole soul was absorbed in contem- i plating a portion of the scene we have not yet described, and which riveted her atten- j tion with a thrilling and magic power, j rjo.tnd to a tree was the form of her bus- I band, and at his feet, on the cold ground, lay her child. The father's face was pale, j and stained with blood; the infant's was j covered by its dress, and its form was mo- j tionless, as if chilled by the cold hand ot How fjlt the fond wife anl mother when that sight of horror met her eye? Repress ing, by a mighty effort, the shriek of agony ti at arose to her lipc, and conquering, by the s;r mgth of a heroic si ml, the almost ii r. sisiiMa desire to rush forward and clasp those dear ones to her aching heart, she st od gazing upon the seer.e with feelings that cannot be d serihcJ. She saw, with a s .d len throb of joy. that her husband li.cd ; but her heart grew cold again as she watched tlie motion'e-s form of her child. She long ed to fly to its side, and asec-rain the truth, for the suspense that preyed upon her was terrible; but again her resolute mind re strained her, and she began to deliberate upon the situation of her husband, and d vis? means for releasing him. I Tiie vivid light east by the fire upon all things near it enabled fhe wife to note the scene distinctly. She nw, with a thankful heart, that the Ravages all sb pt, and that she could reach the sido of her husband without passing near enough to awake them; but she also saw that he was bound with strong deer-thongs, which she could not hope, in her wearied state, to unfasten, and she looked alxmt for something with which to sever them. There was nothing, save their knives, which the Indians wore at their sides. Looking more intently, she saw that one of them had slipped from its place, and lay on the ground by its owner, so near that his hand almost touched the Lilt. A pang of intense fear shot through her frame when she thought of approaching the teniiic form of the savage, but another look upon the pale fae.i of the prisoner reas sured her, nnd she determined to rescue him, or perish in the attempt. She could not approach trie Indian- without revealing herself to the ev"es of her husband, and she feared in that case, that an exclamation of surprise would follow her appearance and arouse the foe from their slumber. After pondering a moment upon the best mode of proceeding, sue determined to steal softly to the liaek of the tree, plaee her hand on the lips of the captive, whisper a few words of explanation, and implo e hi.n l ot ly the slightest muruer tj frijsaaie her p!an. With a throbbing heart she commenced her perilous underrating. Noiselessly made her way to the tree, and accomplished lier purpose. 1 here was no tune I u- ueray, yet one moment the mother turned to look upon her child, yearning to clasp it to her Losom, but not duilng t lift tlx clotli ih t concealed its features, and assure l.crsc'f whether or not It lived. A lifl : while before she would have given wot Is to be ahle fo do this, but now site felt that to behold it wrapped in the slumber of" death would un nerve her arm, and render her unfit for the farther proseeuti n of her ta-k. Wi;h a firmness which would have done honor to a stoic, she conquered the prompt ings of natural love and i:a-;e iel away. With a step as n ois-less as the (ailing dew, fihe jr.'i led toward the si .i inhering savages; as slit drew near, her frame tremble 1 so violently that she could s. a eely s q p rt her Fclf; and when she put forth her ban 1 to take the knife, "fhe beating of her heart was so audible that she feared it would awake the s'e -pers, an 1 she pressed her hand con Mjlsively upon it to stop its tumultuous thr.h''.?!gs. J;n ten ible instant he thought the eyes of the Indian opened, and glared upon her with a fierce and malignant ex pression, but this was nvr-3 fancy, for he still slept, and the next ni imeut site was gliding away, with the knife firmly grasped in her hand. With a few rapi-l strokes she liberated her husband, and then bent down and u i covered the child. To her unspeakable joy, she found it in a slumber as sweet nnd peaceful as though it had been bushed to rest upon its mother's hrt-oiu. With a prayer of gralitiida upon her lips she lifted it from its nidi rest ing place, turnel ti her ompanioti, and motioned the way to their home. With rapid and noiseless steps they hurried away, speeding onward wirli tremulous yet hopeful hearts. Not a moment did the fond m tther spare to caress her infant not a word did she utter to greet her husband. The spell of a ne-funl, unc rudn ha;pi iC s l.al settled upon her spirit, and she feared tj break its thrilling charm. For a time they traveled thus in silence and darkness, moving, a near as they could judge, in the direction of their home, and anxious to be farther, si ill farther, aw:iy from their enemies. At length weariness compelled them to rest awbil?, and, ns the dawning day began to shel a trembling light abroad, they crept into a thicket and s .tight repose. Trie beams of the rising sua light ened the wanderers on their lim vAa:"d journey, and when that sun wa sinking to repose, its parting rays fell calm'y over the woodman's humble home, revea i.ig a scei e i of bliss such as seldom visits the abode of ; man. How radiant with grateful joy was the face of that fond mother, as she clas ed , ' her recovered treasure close to her bti-um ! : How full of admiring l ve was the eye of the j rescued husband, as it rested upon its lair i preserver! And oh! how warm and fervent was the prayer, breathed in that hour of j safety, bearing up to heaven that deep de votion of thankful, happy hearts! And in after years, when, instead of one child, there were six healthy, hearty, r imp ing boys and girls, nothing delighted them more than, after supper, in the cozy sitting room, to gather around their father's knee, and have dim relate to them the story of their mother's heroism. jiii:i rn: jah i:.
