"She Who Rocks the Cradle Rules the World," Dear woman in the dream of life, Adorned with every winning art ; As mother, daughter, sister, wife, She melts the soul, she charms the heart Without her, what were lordly man ? A rainless cloud—a fruitless tree— A world without a sun—a plan That ever incomplete must be, Her fostering care, devotion, love, Seem inspirations from above. In childhood's hour, beside her chair, She calls the fragile form ; She clasps her tiny hand in prayer, Safe sheltered from the storm. Yet man, ungrateful man, the dart Of falsehood hurls with skill ; And when he won a woman's heart lie seeks its love to kill. Her lot is to be tried ; though pure, To sigh; to suffer and endure. Oh, mothers of a race unborn, 'Tis yours to speak those grand decrees That herald in the promised morn, The waiting world's Hesperides. Ye are the moulds of heralds strong Who guard and glorify our lives ; The seas in song shall roll along Beneath the splendor of your smiles, The beautiful and good shall reign, The sinless Eden bloom again. ght Atcocp-Zelltr. THE HUNTER'S PERIL. The case of Damon and Pythias is of ten spoken of as without a parallel in modern times. But such i 4 not the fact. The instances are many where one friend has placed his life in peril for another, even where death appeared almost certain. One of these extraordinary instances recently occurred near the base of Lar amie Peak, one of the ridges of the Rocky Mountains. In this vicinity resided a settler with his family, who, with the whites in common, had incurred the ill will of the Pawnees. One evening, just before dark, the Burton family had gathered in front of their cabin The eyes of the father were bent upon the Black Hills, far dis tant across the plains. All remained si lent for the time. But at length the father sprang to his feet, turned and gazed earnestly upon each member of the family. Then he advanced a few paces, clutched his rifle firmly with one hand, while with the other he shaded his eyes, and bending low, appeared to be watching and listening. _ _ At this moment a voice asked : "John do you see anything unusual ?" The man so addressed turned, and said, in a low tone : "Wife, don't let the little 'uns sec ye 'cited any. Itcck'n there's not much danger; but we'd better get the team hitched up quick as possible. My 'pinion is that we've put off movin' a'most too long, an' the critters will hey to travel to-night of we save our liar." "What do you see, John ?" "Can't you see it, wife ?" "I see a long way ofl• what appears to be a single horseman. Is that a cause for any especial alarm ?" "Oh, no. We don't want ter git 'spe cially 'lammed, but to me it's enough to say git furder down toward the fort, or you'll lose some of them 'ar treasures I" The old settler glanced at his children as he spoke, and something like water glistened in his eyes. "Shall I have the horses hitched up at once ?" asked the wife. "Not jist yit, Kate. Thar may be some of the pesky reds up ou the Peak watchin' us. We musn't let 'em know that we in tend to move, so we'll wait till dark be fore we hitch up." The person who attracted the attention of John Burton in the distance was rapid ly approaching, and in a short time it was plain to be seen that the horseman was a white man. As he came forward he waved his hat over his head, and Burton said : "Wife, that's Joe Stout. He's been up the Hills, an' he's got news o' some sort. Wouldn't wonder of it was impor tant. You go back to the children, and and I'll go forward a bit an' meet Joe." The wife did as requested, and old Bur ton advanced to meet the approaching hunter, who proved to be a young man of athletic frame, and a generous open coun tenance. As he came up he leaped from his horse and grasped Burton by the hand, shaking it warmly. "Any news of 'portance, Joe ?" asked the old settler, but in quite an indifferent manner. "Yes," returned the young man ; "and as we are not within hearing of the women folks I may as well speak out at once." "Out with it. You know you're not speakin' to a baby." _ _ "Well, you must lose no time, but move your family down to the fort at once." "Best to hitch up the team afore dark ?" "No. But just as soon as it is dark enough to conceal your movements get under way, and make your horses do their duty until they reach the fort. I have a good reason for telling you this, for you are especially marked." "Didn't think that. Never troubled the Pawnees none, and thought I only come under their general hatred for the pale faces." "It isn't exactly yourself, John, but Jessie, up there." As the your'' , ' man spoke there was au earnestness in his tone, and an evident tremor ran through his frame. He pointed to a young girl who was seated near the cabin, whose age appeared to be some six teen years, and who possessed considerable personal charms. When the father heard the name of Jessie he exhibited great emotion for the first time, and asked : "What of my Jessie ? Speak out, Joe." "Well, it's just this : Old greasy Won t= is in love with her, and is bound to have her as his squaw. He has resolved to kill you and your entire family, with the exception of Jessie, and then carry her to the mountains." "When do they intend coming down upon us ?" Joe's reply to this was to again leap into his saddle, which observing, Burton asked : "What now, Joe '1" "Look," returned the young man, point ing in the direction from whence he came. Burton gazed in the direction indicated and replied : "My eyes are not as good as they were twenty years ago, and it's getting dark. "What is it, Joe ?" "The red-skins are coming. Good-by." "Where are you going ?" " I'm going to meet them." "What do you mean ?" "I mean just what I say. In half an hour the rascals would be here, and then all hope of escape would be gone. I have laid a plan by which I think I can keep HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1875. them back for a few hours, at all events. This will give you time to get a good start, and you can, most likely, escape with your entire family. "You love my Jessie ?" "I do." "I thought so. Have you ever told her so ?" "Never. Neither have I, to my knowl edge, ever uttered a word in her presence from which she could possibly draw the inference that I had any especial love for her." "But she loves you." "Has she ever said as much ?" "To her mother she has ; but not to me." "Then tell her, that if I should never return, that my love for her was a part of my existence." Saying this, the young man dashed off as rapidly as he had ridden up. CHAPTER II The young man rode onward at a rapid rate for some half an hour, when he sud denly found himself surrounded by a num ber of savages. He did not not, however, evince the slightest fear, but said in the Pawnee language : "I am glad to meet my brothers." _ Only agrunt of diSsatisfaction answered this, and Joe was led forward to the pres ence of the chief and the main party, who had paused to await a later hour and a denser darkness for their action. Arriving before Wontum, the chief surveyed him from head to foot, and then asked in a surly tone : "What do you here ?" "I came to see the chief'," replied Joe. "No. Yo'• were brought here." "It is not true. I came of my own free will, and to do my red brother a service." The chief gazed at the young man for a few moments in silence and then asked : "What service would you render Won turn ?" "Wontum loves a pale-faced maiden." The savage started, appeared a little angry, and then asked : "How do you know this ?" "I only know it by the actions of the chief." "Well." "Wontum is a great chief. His home is near the father of the pale-faced maiden whom he loves. If Jessie becomes the bride of the Pawnee chief, her father can often see his child. If she is taken by the Sioux, she is lost to him forever, for the Sioux are the enemies of the maiden's father, even as they are of the Pawnees." . . "Does the Sioux chief seek the mai den ?" 'lie not only seeks her, but he is now at the cabin, and preparing to carry the pale maiden to his stronghold cn the South Platte." "It must not be !" cried Wontum, leap ing to his feet and betraying considerable excitement. "I knew that Wontum would help us," returned the young man ; "and if he saves the pale lilly, his reward shall be her hand. Will yourself and your war riors go with me at once back to the cabin' If we delay, it may be too late, al though I think the Sioux will rest at the cabin to-night." "Yes, we will go at once." In a few moments the savages were mounted, and ready for a start, and Joe, with the word "forward," dashed onward iu the lead, followed closely by the chief and his men. They had ridden but a few yards, however, when Joe suddenly reined up his horse, and turning, gazed at those accompanying Wontum. _ _ "What - is the matter ?" asked the chief. °I was looking at the number of your warriors. How many have you present?" "One hundred." "How soon can you collect five hundred more ?" "It would be many hours before I could do ic. Why do you ask such a question?" "Because we cannot advance until you have a larger force. Much as I would like to go to the rescue of Jessie, I cannot consent to lead you into certain death." "how many of the Sioux are at the cabin ?" "I should think there are at least three hundred of them." Wontum remained silent for a moment, during which time he gazed into the eyes of the young man as if he would read his very soul, but Joe did not flinch. On the contrary, he met his gaze in a kind of wondering look, and then asked: "Is it not possible for you to get to gether one or two hundred more warriors before daylight ? We might then surprise the Sioux, and be successful." "I shall be successful with those I have with me." "You will go forward, then ?" "I shall." "Then I will go with you." "Do you not fear failure ?" "I confess I do. Still we may be able, by coming upon the Sioux suddenly, and making a fearful onslaught, to defeat them. I am willing to try, and if you go, I shall certainly go with you," "Come on, then !" said Wontum, as he started forward at a rapid rate, folio sed by his men and accompanied by Joe. _ _ - He continued his advance until he was within a mile of the cabin, and Joe began to feel somewhat uneasy, for he had al most arrived at the conclusion that the savage did not believe his story with re gard to the Sioux, but intended riding di rectly to the place, in which case the de ception, as well as the flight, would be at once discovered. If this should be the case, he would lose his own life, and the Burton family would be easily captured, as it was more than likely they had but just set out upon their journey. Presently, however, Wontum drew up and the entire party halted ; then turning to Joe, the chief said : "We will go to Scorpion Ledge, on Laramie Peak. It is but a short distance from the cabin, and we can remain con cealed there, while we can watch every thing that takes place." "You are right, Wontum. But are you not going to make an immediate attack ?" "f shall wait a few hours. In the mean time I want you to go to the cabin, learn the intention of the Sioux, and, as near as possible, their numbers ; then come to me on the Ledge." Wontum did not now look directly in the eyes of Joe, but the young man could see that he was closely watched for all that. and knew his answer would be noted. He was satisfied that the savage suspected him, but that his suspicion was becoming less. He must now reply in such a manner that the Indian would no longer ,doubt his truthfulness; so he answered: "The prepence of a white man would be detected at once. One of your warriors would do better than myself. I think you had better get one of your cunning warri ors—one who could speak their language fluently; or let me disguise myself as an Indian, and I will go. In the darkness my face will not be readily detected, and as I know the premises well, 1 can pass around without much danger. When I have heard all I will come to you." Wontum smiled, but did not reply.-- Then he rode away, and for a few mo ments was absent from the young man's side ; but he soon returned, and without giving the slightest intimation as to what he had done, or intended to do, he said : "Come, and be silent." The cabin was passed, half a mile in the distance. Joe could not but gaze earn estly in its direction, and wonder if his friends were safe. He was gaining time for them, whatever might be the result to himself, and they were widening the dis tance between themselves and danger. Presently the base of the mountain was reached. A hundred feet up the ragged steep was the ledge to which the savages had spoken of going. They reached the ledge, and after having thoroughly con cealed their horses, stretched themselves upon the ground. Joe could see by the expressions on the faces or those near him that they were waiting for something, and had no idea of sleeping. What was their object he could not tell ; but he believed that Won turn had sent one of his own men to the cabin. If so, it would be but a short time longer before the cheat would be discovered and the alarm be given. Then his death would be certain, unless by some desperate effort he could escape from their clutches. But the present moment was the time for action, and this he resolved to improve. CHAPTER 111 Joe had been lying upon the ground, apparently indifferent to every thing around him. But now he raised his head upon his elbow, and gazed cau tiously around, while he listened atten tively. Wontum was near him, and asleep.— There was no mistaking the fact, as his heavy breathing could not well have been feigned. Others were not, but they were less watchful than the chief. Indeed, Joe doubted if the others understood matters at all ; and if not, they would scarcely look upon him in the light of a prisoner. At first he determined to walk boldly away from the spot, and if questioned an swer that he had been sent to reconnoitre by Wontum. But he feared those near the chief would arouse and question him as soon as they saw the movement. But no time was to be lost. Carefully be crept from the side of the savage chief, and remained unobserved.— He reached a ledge of rugged rocks, and among these he concealed himself, and lis tened. All was yet silent—his movements had not yet been discovered. And now it appeared that by following this ridge, he could soon reach the valley below, and then he could reasonably hope for escape, as his horse was swift of Ibot as any owned by the savages. Now he began to make his way down the ragged cliff. But lie had proceeded only a short distance when he was sudden ly thrown back upon the rocks, and felt a pressure upon his breast. A glance revealed the fact that lie had met a powerful savage, who had seized him, hurled him down, and was now standing erect byhisside, with arms folded and with one of his huge feet resting upon his fallen victim's breast. - What means my red brother by this act ?" "You are escaping," came the answer. "No. I am acting according to or• ders." "Whose orders ?" "Wontum's." "'What were you instructed to do ?" "Go down to the cabin and see what the Sioux are doing." "There are no Sioux at the cabin." "Ilow do you know this ?" "I just came from there." "Then they have gone and carried off my friends with them." ''You are a lying pale-face. There has not been a Sioux near the cabin. But the pale-faces have left. You have lied to our chief, and you shall die fur it." Joe's chances were desperate, and his efforts to escape must be the same. He had quickly decided upon his course of action. His hand had sought a knife which he wore in his girdle, and quickly drawing it forth, he made a desperate ef fort to arise to his feet. The movement was sudden, but not unexpected by the savage, and in an instant the two had clutched each other in a deadly embrace. Joe was a man of no ordinary strength, but the savage was the more powerful of the two. For an instant only the strug gle continued, and then each found him self falling. Down the ledge they went, still clinging to each other, and each watching an oppor tunity to use his knife. The fall, however, was but a few feet, and neither was hurt, with the exception of a few slight bruises. But Joe had now the advantage, and freeing one hand, he drove his blade into the breast of his savage foe. A most unearthly yell followed this, which was echoed in au instant, by the savages but a short distance above. Joe was satisfied that he had given his enemy a death-blow. The hot blood spurt ed into his face, but the grasp of the sav age became tighter even than before the blow was given. Joe knew it must soon relax, but the yells of the Pawnees were fearful now, and they were coming toward him. He had but a moment for action. lie put forth all his strength, but could . not yet releas: himself although he felt that the grasp of the savage was becoming weaker. At length he was able to free himself, but the Pawnees were just upon him. Ile could not even arise without be ing seen and quickly he rolled under an overhanging ledge, remaining prostrate upon the earth, but holding his knife rea dy, and resolved to sell his life as dearly as possible. The savages paused an iustant by the dead Indian. Joe saw the face of Wontutn and the rage depicted upon it plainly told him what would be his own fate if he again fell into the hands of that merciless chief. In a moment after, the savages went bounding down the side of the mountain, and yet Joe remained undiscovered. But he soon became conscious of the fact that several of the Indians had remain ed behind and were searching among the ledges. _ . . Presently two of them approached the spot where Joe was concealed. Now was the time for action, for a moment's search would reveal his hiding-place ' and so, with out hesitation, he sprang to his feet and with two well directed and powerful blows with his fist, he sent the savages whirling down the ledge. They set up terrible howling at once, and from the answering shouts Joe was convinced that it would be impossible for hi to go further down the mouutain to the point where his horse was standing, althou_zh he felt that whin once on her back, and out of the range of the Indian rifles, he would be safe. Quickly he darted up the ledge, awl soon reached the table, or flat rock. which overhung an immense chasm below. In the darkness of the night he could see the tops of the tall trees which grew at th• base of the cliff but a short &statics below him. Behind him cum the howl ing savages. Above him were ledges piled upon ledges, which it was impossible t , ) mount. Ile hesitated but an in-tant. and then made a leap. For a moment he whirled in mid-air, and then he found himself sur rounded by tbliage. lie clutched at the branches and secured a hold up)n them. It was now but the work or a few mo ments for him to reach the earth, while the yells of disappointment echoed fiercely behind him. His thought now was of his horse. Quickly he sped along the base of the cliff, and it was not long before he arrived near the point where he had left his ani mal. He peered through the shrubbery and saw that the horse was stiil standing where he had left him, but that several Indians were near. He could not hesitate. His rifle sent forth its stream of fire, and a savage leap ing into the air fell forward to the earth with a horrible cry. Two pistols were discharged with the same effect, and then the daring hunter rushed forward, knife in hand. But finding none ready to op pose him he sprang into his saddle, and giving his beast the spurs, she darted off at an arrow's speed. His escape now appeared to be cer tain. But suddenly a sheet of flame blazed forth, followed by terrific howling!. The Indians, or a portion of them, were con• coaled is a thicket close at hand. Joe felt a sharp pang and knew that he had been hit. flow badly lie was hurt he could not tell. Ills horse reared and plunged forward, and fur a moment ap peared ready to fall. But she recovered herself again and continued her course with greater speed. Daylight came. The savage yells had ceased, but a glance behind betrayegi the fact that the Indians were still in pursuit and were close upon him, and still gaining at every step. .Joe tried to urge his horse to greater speed, but the poor beast totter ed and finally sank to the earth with a groan almost human in its tones. Slie had borne her rider nobly, but at length had to yield. Iler wounds were fatal. Joe felt a faintness creeping over him, and had given up hope. But in an in stant after a large party of hunters came in sight, headed by old John Burton. and the savages were glad to beat a hasty re treat. Joe afterwards declared that he would willingly receive a wound any time just to have Jessie Burton dress it. Jessie afterwards became Joe's wife. *ailing tor the pillion. The Fashion in Dress. It is high time that the mysterious pow er which issues decrees concerning the fashions of women's dress had forbidden women's skirts to contract any further— the limit of propriety has been reached, and in case of some of the too intense de votees of fashion, has been passed. The average woman who has on her latest dress, even now, cannot sit down without suffering the inconvenience and the dan gers that are experienced by a man who wears exceedingly tight pantaloons. The legs arc swathed almost as closely as the Egyptian mummy, whose outline she so strongly suggests, and it is only with e.iffi culty that she can place one foot sufficient ly in advance of the other to enable her to walk. To run would be wholly impossible, and if she should tumble overboard she would inevitably go straight to the bottom, whether she knew how to swim or not.— If her skirts tighten further she have to stay at home, unless somebody lifts her into a carriage; and home is the best place for her while her clothing clings so closely to her that her form is as apparent as it is in the case of a woman who has just come out of the water in a bathing suit. It is but a very few years since wo men appeared upon the streets with skirts distended like a bag of Professor Wise's balloon, and occupied so much space that two of them abreast made the pavement impassable. Undoubtedly this was a nuis. ance and it was ugly. The present fashion is inconvenient only to the wearer, but it is very apt to make a close approach to indecency, and it Dill assuredly be inde cent it' the skirts are narrowed any further. Remonstrance, however, will have no ef fect unless the power that orders the tlish ions declares that. there shall be no more contraction. The women who dress in this manner will follow the fashion. what ever it is, until a bolster slip with a frill around it constitutes their only costume, rather than to consult their own comfort and the requirements of modesty. When fashion pushes the matter to that extremi ty, we trust that respectable women will assume trousers at once, and so preserve some of their modesty while they increase their powers of locoinotion.—Phibt. The Lord's Prayer. Did you ever think, short though it may be, how much there is in it ' Oh, it is beautiful ! And like a diamond in the crown of a queen, it unites a thousand sparkling gems in one.

And a submissive and obedient spirit— •'Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven." And a dependent, trusting spirit-- "Give us this day our daily bread:' And a forgiving spirit—" Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us."
