Two children sat by the summer sea:
Playing with pebble, shell, and sand ;
Loudly they laughed in childish glee,
As the waves ran up the land,
And "Oh 1 for a ship, a ship !" they cried,
"To carry us far away,
So that we may sail on side by side,
Through an everlasting day."
Two lovers lingered beside the sea,
When the summer moonlight shone,
And their love could speak all sweet and free
For they stood there all alone,
And '.oh I for a ship, a ship l" they cry,
"To carry us far away,
Where no tears will come to dim the eye,
And no pain or sorrow stay."
There stood two forms by the sunlit sea,
When the breezes sang soft and low
All dim with tears their old eyes be,
Arid all white their hair doth show,
And "Oh ! fora ship, a ship !" they call,
"That will carry us far away,
To a land where our Father gathereth all
That love Him while here they stay."

THE SCOUT'S ADVENTURE.
The scene of the exciting incidents we
are about to relate was located in the now
peaceful and populous State of Ohio. At
the time, however, when these events tran
spired, the white settlements were widely
scattered, and over the greater portion of
that fertile region savage beasts, and not
less ferocious men held almost undisputed.
dominion. But the fertility of the sqii,
salubrity of the climate, the number and
utility of its navigable streams, offered
many advantages to settlers, and the hardy
pioneers of less favored localities were not
slow in availing themselves of them.
But in addition to the hardships and
privations inseparable from the most favored
conditions of pioneer life, the early settlers
on the rich Ohio bottoms were exposed to
the constant hostility of the savages. The
isolated cabins were assaulted and burned,
and the luckless inmates butchered or car
ried into a woeful captivity. Hundreds
thus perished, but,the stream of emmigra
tion rolled on with steadily increasing
volume, and the wider the settlements
spread, the more vengeful and 'desperate
became the savages, who finally determined
upon a general war of extermination.
In the valley of Hockhocking, nearly
where the town of Lancaster now stands,
was an Indian village, which was selected
as the base of operations against the set
tlers. Here the painted warriors began
to aremble in August, 1793, and for
several weeks the work of recruiting went
on, until the savage army was swelled to
such great proportions as to menace the
very existence of the settlements. The
whites were not slow in realizing- their
danger. They saw that a fearful blow was
impending, but were ignorant of the
exact point where it was to fall. They
therefore determined to send out some
trusty scouts to watch the enemy and learn,
if possible, where the savage thunderbolt
was to descend.
Robert McCleland and Arthur White,
two experienced hunters,thoroughly skilled
in the subtleties of Indian warfare, fearless,
cautious and clear headed, volunteered to
perform that hazardous duty, and in the
afternoon of a balmy day in October they
set oat, amply armed and fully provisioned,
determined to reconnoitre the enemy's
rendezvous and discover at what point the
first blows were to fall.
They traversed many miles of wood and
prairie, and finally entered an extensive
thicket of wild plum and hazel brush,
through which they forced their way with
great caution, and finally reached the top
of an elevation now known as Mount
Pleasant. This bill or mountain abruptly
terminated on the west in a bold, almost
perpendicular cliff, some hundreds of feet
above the surrounding plain, and was
covered by a short, stunted growth of
hazel. The scouts reached the top of the
cliff unobserved, and from it they could
look down into the Indian encampment,
and observe every movement. They saw
and counted each new group as they ar
rived, were witnesses of their sports, ob
served their running matches, horse racing,
and even their tomahawk throwing, but
all this gave them no clue to the inform
Lion they so much desired.
Three or four days were spent in this
manner, and in the meantime the supply
of water in their canteens became ex
hausted, and they supplied themselves
from the little pools of rain water which
collected in the depressions of the rock on
which they were encamped. At length,
wearying of the stagnant beverage, one of
them determined to make the hazardous
journey down into the valley in quest of a
fresh supply. Carefully creeping down
the busby slope, without shaking a tree or
dislodging a stone, he entered the valley
without discovery, wormed his way through
the tall grass,and reached the river bank ,fill
ed his canteecs and returned in perfect safety
After this one of them came down nearly
every day, and apparently with compara
tive safety.
One day MeClelaud went on the errand,
sauntered along less watchful than usual,
filled his canteens, and turned to retrace
his steps, when he suddenly found himself
face to face with a couple of squaws. The
surprise was mutual, and the women gave
a loud whoop, and turned to fly. The
scout was quick to comprehend his peril.
If the alarm was to reach the Indian camp
his discovery and death seemed inevitable
Self preservation is the moving impulse
with every living creature, and the scout
decided that his first duty was to himself
and his companion, and that it was ex
pedient that he should inflict a speedy and
noiseless death upon the women, and so
secretly as to leave no trace behind.
Quick as thought he sprang upon them,
seized each by the throat, and dragged
them to the river, his vice like grip stifling
their outcries. The old squaw was quickly
thrust under the water and drowned, after
which the body was allowed to float down
the stream in hope that it would escape
observation. He then turned his attention
to the younger one, who fought violently,
and succeeded in shaking off his grasp on
her throat, when to his great astonishment
and horror, she exclaimed in good English :
"For Heaven's sake don't kill me, I am
, no Indian."

These words, so strange and so utterly
unexpected, nearly paralyzed the old hun
ter, and releasing his bold on the woman,
he demanded to know who and what she
was. She quickly told her story, which
was that she was a white girl, who, with
her mother, had been captured in Virginia
some five years before, when nearly all her
family had been murdered. Since then
ahe bad been a slave to her captors, over
worked, starved, and beaten, and she en•

HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1877.
treated McCleland to restore her to her
own people.
It was not in the nature of the old hun
ter and scout to resist an appeal of such a
character, and giving the girl an assurance
of his protection, he started with her for
the place of concealment on the mountain.
They had hardly made half the distance,
when the loud alarm cry of the savages
was sounded less than half a mile away.—
Some Indians in crossing the stream had
discovered the body of the squaw.
The fugitives quickened their speed,
and soon joined the other scout, who, from
his lofty perch, was watching the unusual
commotion among the savages, but was ig
norant of its cause. Parties of warriors
were seen to strike off in every direction;
the terrible war whoop resounded on every
side, and the dusky foe ,as seen gathering
around the mountain, until a swarthy chain
of painted warriors completely encompassed
the position, and closed all avenue of escape.
Certain destruction seemed inevitable
but the two men resolved to sell their lives
as dearly as possible Not wishing to in,
volve the girl in their fate, they advised
her to return to the Indians and represent
that she had been taken prisoner. This
she refused to do, and begged for a gun.
declaring that she was well trained to its
use and could aid materially in the defense.
But there was no weapon fur her, and
she was urged to take shelter behind the
rocks, and in case of their death or capture,
to claim that she had been their prisoner.
Fortunately the position occupied by
the scouts could only be reached over a
high, rocky ridge, which was so narrow
that it could be traversed only in single
file, and there was no tree, bush or shrub
to afford protection to the hostile party.
This ridge was constantly covered by the
unerring rifles of the beleagured men, and
every Indian who attempted to cross- it
was shot dead, and his swarthy body rolled
down the reeky slope into the gulch below.
It did not take long to convince the
savages that this mode of attack was im
practicable, and they attempted a flank
movement. On the left was a large rock
thickly covered with stunted shrubbery,
from which the position occupied by the
whites could be completely commanded.
But this point was difficult of access,
and could only be reached by leaping a
ravine in full view of the beleaguered men,
and within easy range of their rifles.—
But how could two men successfully de
fend so many points of assault ? The case
appeared hopeless, but they were not the
men to despair. To White was assigned
the duty of keeping up the fire in front.
while McCleland undertook to defend the
flank threatened.
Soon he saw a tall, swarthy warrior,
crouching on the brink of the ravine, pre
paring for the leap which was to decide
the battle. Only an inch or so of the
dinky figure was discernable, and the dis
tance was nearly a hundred yards; but the
scout knew that everything depended on
his foiling the savage, and be resolved to
risk everything upon a single shot. Coolly
and deliberately be raised his rifle, his
trained nerves were brought under perfect
control, and the weapon became as steady
as the rock on which he stood. He drew
a bead so true that failure seemed impos
sible, touched the delicate trigger, the
hammer came down, the flint Wes broken
into a dozen fragments, but the gall was
not discharged.
A half stifled curse escaped from the
compressed lips of the bunter, but he re
tained his self control, and proceeded to
adjust a new flint, though he felt almost
certain that the savage would gain the
coveted position before he could discharge
his weapon. Finally the flint was in posi
tion, and he gave the screw a final turn,
he glanced in the direction of danger, and
saw the enemy crouched, every nerve
strained, and at the same instant he sprang
with the agility of a panther for the cov
etedadvantage.
The scout gave utterance to a suppressed
groan as he saw the movement, and gave
up all as lost. But at the same instant
the vaulting savage uttered a piercing
shriek, fell limp and lifeless on the rocky
edge, and rolled into the ravine. He had
been shot, but by whom ? There was not
time to inquire whence the friendly bullet
had come, for new dangers were demand
ing instant action.
The fall of the swarthy warrior called
forth loud cries of defiance, indicating that
a man of some note had fallen, and that
he was to be avenged.
McCleland soon saw that the advantage
gained was but temporary, for a stalwart
Indian was seen to be cautiously making
his way to the spot which bad proved so
fatal to his predecessor. He, too, was
about to make the fatal leap, and had been
covered by the scout's rifle, when another
shot from an unseen hand sent him reel.
ing into the abyss. The howls of rage
which came from below showed that another
favorite chief had fallen.
Two more essayed the fearful leap and
met with a like fate, when the Indians
withdrew to devise some new method of
attack. They had lost seriously, were ig
norant of the number and character of
their enemy, and after guarding care
fully every path by which an escape was
possible, they drew off to determine on a
new plan of attack, and the besieged were
given a brief season for rest and reflection.
Now, for the first time, they thought of
the girl, but she was missing. They con
cluded that she must have fled in ttrror
when the firing commenced; perhaps re
turned to the Indian camp. or probably
had been killed during the fight, and her
miserable captivity ended.
Great was their surprise, therefore, when
she made her appearance from behind a
dense clump of hazel, with a rifle in her
hand. Iler story was soon told. In the
thickest of the fight she had noticed a
warrior fall in a thicket considerably in
advance of his companions ; it occurred to
her that if she could only get possession of
his gun she might materially aid her
friends. Taking advantage of a change
in position by the assailants, she crept out
through the tall grass and secured the
coveted prize, together with plenty of am
munition. Her quick eye had also taken
in the situation, and discovered the peril
which threatened them from the rock
which the savages bad sought to occupy,
and it was she who had so successfully de
fended it.
Night soon came on, with a terrible
storm of wind and rain, while darkness
almost impenetrable covered the mountain.
Fortunately the girl was familiar with
every path and ravine, and at her sugges
tion it was determined that she should
undertake to lead the way through the
savage lines into the valley, whence their
escape would not be difficult. The noise
of the storm, it was hoped, would prevent
their movements being heard; and she was
to take the lead, as the scouts thought that
even if she encountered some of the sen
tinels, her acquaintance with them, her
knowledge of their language, and her
ready wit would enable her to turn aside
suspicion.
About midnight they set out, the girl
a few rods in advance. They had pro
ceeded less than a hundred yards when
she gave the scouts the signal to halt, while
she went forward to reconnoitre. She
soon returned and reported their retreat
in that direction cut off by a half dozen
savages, who occupied the path directly
in front of them. She then retraced her
steps a few rods and descended to a deep
broken gulch, usually dry, but which was
then partially filled by the falling rain.—
Along this gulch, over the broken rocks,
and through the deepening current, they
cautiously went, the intense darkness, and
the noise and confusion of the storm, pro
tecting theda from discovery. The gulch
led to the river but a short (....itance from
the village, whither the guide directed
the scouts to follow her. They hesitated,
remonstratel, and even begin to suspect
treachery; but she urged them on, and
they proceeded. Very soon a new danger
confronted them. They were savagely
assailed by a couple of dogs, whose bark
ing threatened to arouse the whole village;
but the animals were soon quieted by the
guide, as they easily recognized her voice.
They soon reached the very midst of the
villao - e, the most perfect silence being ob
served,r passed through it without adven
ture, and were soon miles beyond on their
way to Ohio.
The sagacious girl afterwards explained
Cat she knew every probable line of es•
cape was carefully guarded, and that the
cnly feasible road to liberty and safety lay
through the town, which route was un
guarded, RA a retreat in that direction was
not considered among the probabilities.—
any other route capture and death
would have been almost certain. Once
c'ear of the enemy they took the direction
of the settlements. which they reached in
three days.
The girl who had been so singularly
discOvered, and had proved so efficient as
a soldier and a guide returned to Virginia,
found that her relatives had moved to old
"Kaintuck," whither she followed them
and made that State her home. She was
married a few years after her adventure,
and raised a large family. One of her
grandsons has been Governor of the State.
one served with distinction in the Mexican
war, and one was killed during the late
war while holding high rank in the Con
federate army.

A Lightning Bolt Writing God's Name
on a Blasphemer.
Some of our contemporaries seem dis
posed to question the truth of our state
ment that a negro man who was killed by
lightning a few days ago in Campbell
eonnty had the letters "GOD!" on his body.
Dr. Thomas E Moorman, whose Post
Office address is Mt. Zion, Campbell county.
has furnished the Richmond Christian Ad
iwate an account of the circumstance,
fs which we extract the following :
"On the evening of the 6th inst., Per
ry Jones and George Brown, colored men,
notoriously the most profane, wicked per
sons in the whole community. with three
other colored persons, took refuge, during
the rain, accompanied by a good deal of
lightning and thunder, in a tobacco barn
on the land of Mr. George Creases.
"From their several positions one would
have thought that two of the others were
in more. and the third in as much danger,
as Jones and Brown were They, as their
custom was, were engaged in cursing and
swearing. Suddenly the lightning de
scended upon them, and, while the other
three were comparatively uninjured, Jones
was killed, and Brown was stricken down
senseless, and almost lifeless for a tithe.—
Ile revived after a few minutes, and soon
seemed to retrain all of his strength, but
was dumb and bereft of his mind for sev
oral hours. The lightning had set fire to
his clothing, and he was burned on his
chest and left side-and arm before the fire
was extinguished. In his maniac efforts
to free himself from those who were re
straining him the skin was rubbed from
the burned flesh, and presented the follow.

them the skin was unrenaoved, and ap
parently not burned. The above charac
ters occupied the angles of an equilateral
triangle, which, as you are doubtless aware,
was in ancient days the symbol of Deity.
This man, then, appears to have been
branded with the name of his Creator in
the symbolic language, it may be, of his
forefathers three thousand years ago, and
in the printed language of the nation to
which he belongs —Lynchburg News.
Hurry and Haste.
"Never do anything in a hurry," is the
advice given to attorneys and solicitors by
Mr. Warren. "No one in a hurry can
possibly have his wits about him; and re
member that in the law there is ever an
opponent watching to find you off your
guard. You may occasionally be in baste,
but you need never be in a hurry; take
care—resolve—never to be so. Remember
that the interests of others arc occupying
your attention, and may stiffer by your in
advertence, by that negligence which gen
erally occasions hurry. A man of firstrate
business talents, one who always looks so
cairn and tranquil that it makes one's self
cool to look at him on a hot summer day
—once told me that he had never been in
a hurry but once, and that was for an en
tire fortnight, at the commencement of his
career. It nearly killed him ; he spoiled
everything he touched; he was always
breathless and harrassed and miserable.—
But it did him good for life. He resolved
never to be in a hurry again, and never
was, no not once that he could remember,
during all his twenty-five years of practice.
Observe, I speak of being hurried and
flustered, not of being in haste, for that is
often inevitable ; but then is always seen
the superiority and inferiority of different
men. Indeed, you may almost define
hurry as-a condition to which an inferior
man is reduced by haste. I one day ob
served a committee of the House of Com
mons, sitting on a railroad bill. The chief
secretary of the company, during several
hours when great interests were in jeop
ardy, preserved a truly admirable coolness,
and tranquility of temper, conferring on
him immense advantage. His suggestions
to the counsel were masterly and well
timed, and by the close of the day he had
triumphed. "How is it that one never
sees you in a hurry ?" said I, as we were
pacing the long corridor on our way from
the committee room. "Because it's so ex
pensive," he replied with a significant
smile. I shall never forget that observa
tion, and don't you."

young soldier returning to the obscurity
I whence he cane, and to the listless career
I that repelled ambition from its dreams A
quiet, unobtrusive, unfelt citizen in ham
ble employment at Galena, glad to make
his scant livelihood out of the ferry del
lars a month he earned, lie was celled into
notice by a local meeting inspire.] by the
appalling news that fraternal ever had
spread its fearful shadow over the e iuntry.
and as one known to be skilled in military
affairs, he was made prominent in the con
sultation of his community over the terra
ble trial that was at hand for free govern
ment. Regiment after regiment was or
ganized and sent to the field, and Grant
was yet behind, for he had few friends to
press his promotion and he knew little of
the arts which aid self-advancement. One
faithful friend, Mr. K. R. Waehburne,
made Governor Yates overcome hie prejn
dices, and a reluctant Colonel's commis
sion made the hero of Appaniattox and
the ruler who has stamped more of his
individuality upon the Republic than
any of the long line of Presidents of the
past.
As a soldier he is of his own school. Of
all the scores of Generals who brightened
and faded during font- year• of battle. none
rivaled Grant, in any measure, in the at
tributes which finally won the costly vie
tory over rebellion And his military ca
reer was as strangely varied as it was
grandly successful. His first battle was a
mistake and a failure ; his next a victory :
his next a triumph that called out the
grateful affection of the nation, and his
next a blunder that was esteemed worse
than a crime. Shilsh ended his coininanii.
and but for a generously trusting
dent he would have retired to the olesen
rity of Galena to file into foretetfalneee.
Time softened the bitter asperities which
crowded upon him, and the recall of Hal
leek to Washington to become Ceram in
der-in-Chief restored the fai!en leerier of
Shiloh to the bead of his army. How he
woo Vicksburg, after repeated failure hail
made the heart of the country sick with
hope deferre], is a story that is fresh in
every memory. '-The Father or Waters •
again goes unvexed to the 'ea. - was the
eloquent tribute to his victory th it came
from the pen or Lincoln. Again at the
battle among the clouds of Tenneeeee he
sent out the bulletin of triumph, and with
one accord the country that clamored for
his destruction but a few months before.
rejoiced as Congress created laure;s for him
which had only been won by a Washington
and a Scott ; and his orders thenceforth
summoned a million men as revere in the
fearful harvest of death. In the Wilder
nese battles be taught the world how free
government made a heroism of its own. It
was the tempest of destruction, the hurri
cane that toyed with the dead, but it W 2,4
the way to peace, arid only Grant would
have dared and won as he did. For a lone..
long twelve month he held the Confederacy
in its dying agonies. and saw it convulse
the civilized world and bereave every home
in the land in its stru ling throe., But
Appomattox came at lest. and there was ,
but one man in all the twenty millions who
battled on his side, who could have lived
in the trust of the nation and tempered
victory with the generosity that Grant
gave to Lee when the sword of the insurg
ent leader was surrendered. The mat
Captain of the age, who had won his fame
on the field, taught his country that peace
and brotherhood were its priceless jew- ,
els.
The warrior retired from the field with
long dissevered States reunited and he w 1.4 ,
content. lie had no love for the sinners
ways of politics and no ambition to reach
the one crown that was above him but
he was a tempting prize for those who
struzgled for power, and not until after
three years of turmoil in the fiercest pee- ;
slow) of thctions strife, did he listen to the
whispers of ambition. His revolution nev
er to exchange his place at the head of the
army for the brief' and always doubtful
honors of the Presidency, was shaken
the struggle of 186 S approached, and not
until after the summary displacement of
Stanton by President Johnson, did he cast
his political fortunes with the Republican
party, whose ticket he bad never publicly
supported. Hie nomination was a supreme
necessity, and his election inevitable from
the day he became a candidate. He ac
cepted the nomination in the characteris
tic brevity of the soldier, and electrified
the nation by the key-note of the cam
paign : •‘Let us have peace !" Of hie civil
administration exhaustive criticism is un
timely. Few Presidents committed more
grievous errors; few so well redeemed
them and recalled the public faith that had
faltered. He never reached the popular
heart as Chief Magistrate. for he thought
little of the multitude in his administration
of the government, but he was conservative
and safe and was sustained therefor. lie
stood unmoved when the Liberal wave of
1872 surged against hint, with the ablest
founders of his party assailing him. and he
saw their lances shivered as they recoiled
before his overwhelming triumph. lie ru
led as a ruler, not as a servant ; he made
his own policy and forced obedience to it ;
he framed his own laws when necessity de
manded it and compelled obedience to
them ; he summoned revolution to serve
partisan ends, and when it pleased him, he
restored law, worshipped its majesty and
made his followers yield to it. lie gave
Louisiana a Kellogg usurpation at the
point of the bayonet, and now has given
her the government of her own creation
when to do so stam?s the brand of the
usurper upon his successor. lie gave the
army to Cameron and Chandler to subvert
the elections in the South, and when the
nation was trembling on the brink of as-
arch', because of the hwelessmew ef bin
party leaders, he called s bsk sad bowed
his warmest partisans in proclaimiag his
