A burglar climbed into an editor's room— Needy and poor was he— And he saw in the dim uncertain gloom, With legs as long as the stem of a broom, A pair of trousers, "I'll just freeze to 'em ;" He chuckled with fiendish glee. lie lifted them up from the back of the chair Lightly they hung on his arm ; They were the editor's only pair, Thinner than gossamer everywhere; Oh, but the knees were worn and bare, Good clothes—when the weather is warm All over the room he searched in vain ; There was no more to find ; There was no sign of sordid gain, No pausing drops from a golden rain, Only the wealth of the sleeper's brain, The peace of the editor's mind. He turned his back on that happy home, Thoughtfully hefting those pants ; Out of the window he cautiously dome, He emptied the pockets—a broken comb, A stub of a pencil, a manuscript poem, Answered his searching glance. He started; the tears flashed into his eyes He leaned up against the fence ; A look of pitying, mute surprise Softened his face ; he stifled his cries ; He looked at his swag, and measured its size, Value—about nine cents. Into Lis pockets his own he went, And he dragged out a ten-dollar bill ; And he hastily crammed it, every cent, Into the editor's pockets, and bent The trousers into a wad and sent Them over the window-sill. Then up to a wealthier house be sped, f was a charity well bestowed " He said to himself; and,' when night had fled And the editor rose from his virtuous bed, A❑d found the money, he whistled and said "Well, I nm essentially blowed !" —[Burlington liawkeye, thq—irrlicr. ALWAYS BEHINDHAND. Supper was ready and waiting: Our' guest had not arrived, but there was an other train an hour later. Should the family wait-for sus ;end, ) should I alone, who was tfae personage especially to be visited ?. father paced the floor nervously, as was kis Went when he was disturbed. He had the evening papers to read, and he never opened them mail after. tea. This was a habit - of his. He was very fixed—or, as some express it, set in his little ways. It was Bridget's evening out, and she had . began to show a dark ened i'isage. Bridget was no friend to company, and it was policy to conciliate her. So the family eeated themselves at the table, and I sat near, waiting until brother John should ibe ready to accom , pany me a second time to the 'station. "Whet about this young lady friend of yours, Nellie ?" asked lily lather. "Is she one of the . unreliable sort—a little addict ed to tardiness, that is?'r "I am obliged to confess, papa, that at boarding school, where I loogest knew .Jeannette, she was inclined to be dilatory; but that was years ago. It is to be hoped she has changed since the v." "I should wish to have very little to do with a behindhand person,." said my fath er, shaking his head very gravely. "Oh, papa !" I renionsti-ated, ."you will not condemn a dear friend' for one single fault. Jeannette is beauti.Eill and accom plished, sensible and g( rod tempered. Everybody thinks she is spl eadid." "She may have very ple. tsant qualities, but .I tell you, girls," he ad'ded with sud den emphasis, "that a want of punctuality vitiates the whole s charactev.. No one is good fbr much who cannot be depended upon ; and what dependence is to be pla ced on a man who is not up t o his engage ments ? In business such a iaan is so• where; and in social life a d smiling, dila tory wan or woman is simply - a pest. But mind, my child, I am not ► iharaeterizing your friend; we cannot tell about her till we see." The later train brought n ty friend. She was profuse in her regrets ; she had bean belated by a mistake in t lie time ; her watch was slow. As she was pouring forth a torrent of regrets at id apologies, I observed my father bestowi i g glances of evident admiration at the fair epeaker, while the rich color came an d went in her cheeks, and her eyes kindled with anima tion, Truly beauty covers a, multitude of faults. Sister Bell, who woo as puuctual as my father, was appeased, and promised to take care of the tea things .and let Bridg et go out. My father good-oNturedly offer ed to regulate the halting watch by the true time. 879 To her chamber we went together, to talk as girls do talk when they meet, after a long separation. Folding me iu her arms, she told me all about her recent .en gagernent to George Allibone; showed rue her engagement ring, and her lover's photograph. It was a noble face, and my ready and cordial admiration was a new bond of sympathy. It took until nearly midnight to say all that we girls, aged 20, had to say to each other; and this, in ad; dition to the fatigues of travel, was ac cepted as an excuse for Jennie's tardiness at breakfast. She really had meant to be early. But this was only the beginning. Throughout the whole three weeks of her visit, she was scarcely punctual in asingte case Where time was definitely appointed. ►She was late in rising, late at weals, late at church and for excursions, and, to our profound mortification, late for dinner ap pointments, even when parties were made especially on her account. She seemed sorry and mortified, but on each occasion she would do the same thing over %rain. "What can she be doing ?" my mother sometimes asked, in perplexity, when my sister and I were waiting. "Doing her hair, mother," we answered, "and she will do it over until it suits her, be it early or late." "Oh, these hair works !" sighed my mother. "How mach tardiness st church and elsewhere is due to over fastidious GLACIS SCARP COUNTERSCARP, PARAPET. EAMPART, TERRZPLEIN SLOPE HUNTINGDON, PA,, FRIDAY JULY 18, 1879. hair dressing! What is that line of good George Herbert's ? 'Stay not for another.' 1 think he must have meant hair pins." My sister and I sometimes agreed be• tween ourselves to compel her to readiness by standing by to help her in her prepara tions, but in vain. She must write a let ter or finish a story before making her toi• let. Why not accomplish the toilet first, to be sure or it—any time remaining, for the other purposes ? She didn't like to do so. No philosopher could tell why. It is an unaccountable, mysterious something, rooted deep in some people's natures— this aversion to being beforehand I have seen it in other people since the time when it so puzzled and troubled me iu Jennie. It marred the pleasure of the visit most miserably. I was continually fearing the displeasure of tuv father and the discom fort of my mother. The household were disturbed by what seemed to them down right rudeness. "Now, Jennie," I would plead, "do be early, dear, when papa comes with the carriage. It annoys him dreadfully to wait." She would promise to try." "lint pray, Jennie, why need you have to try ? It is easy enough. For my part, I never will make any one wait tier me. I go without being ready, if need be, or stay behind." I had coax to talk very plainly to her, out of love and good-will, as well as, some time, from vexation of spirit. For the twentieth time she would tell me how truly she had meant to be punctual in some given ease, and that site would have been so, but she was hindered when nearly ready by some unforseen occurrence. "But, my dear, unforseen hindrances will often occur, and you must lay your account with them, and give yourself extra time. You will run the risk of meeting some great calamity by trusting as you do to the last minute." And the calamity did befall her. Mr. Allibone spent a day with us. We were anticipating with great pleasure a second visit.when a telegram arrived requesting Jennie to meet him in Boston on the sue ceeding morning. A business emergency had summoned him abroad very suddenly, and he was to embark for Liverpool in the evening. We all sympathized with Jennie in the startling effect of this sudden announce ment and offered every sort of help when the hour for her departure was at hadd. She had only to compose herself and pre pare for the journey. Sister Bell would arrange her hair and bring her dress, and she would be spared all effort. She seem ed grateful, but was sure she could be ready without troubling, any one.. She dreamed 'not how much she was,. even then, troubling us, for we were beginning, to tremble lest she wculd somehow Juan age to be late for this 'her only train. She kissed us all twice over when the hackman arrived at the door; but sudden ly glancing in the - mirror and observing, how ashen was her usually brilliant com• plexion, she declared against wearing the gray cashmere in which she was dressed, of a hue so like her face. George must not meet her thus. She seized her black silk, with which, in spite of retnonstran ces, she - proceeded to array herself. There was time enough; the•carriage must sure ly be too early. Alas ! for the ripping out of gathers, in the violence of her haste, and for the loopings of her skirt, not to be dispensed with ! Horses could not be made to - do the work of five minutes in three. She saw the cars move off without her. No words were called for. My mother carried a glass of elderberry wine to the poor girl, and left her alone to her tears. They would do her good. We ourselves needed rest, after the troubled scene of hurry and excitement, and we sat down feeling as if a whirlwind had passed. "It is beyond my comprehension,", said ray father, when he came home to dinner. "I tan understand tardiness," he_ contin ued, categorically, "as the result of indo lence. Lazy people dread effort and post pone it. There is a man in my employ who continues to work sometimes after hours. The men tell me that he is actu ally too lazy to leave off work and put away his tools. But Miss Jeannette seems active and energetic." 'tShe miscalculates, papa," I said. "She always imagines there is plenty of time until the : last minute." _ . "But herein is the mystery," persisted my father. '•Whence this uniformity of dereliction ? Why not sometimes too early and sometimes just the right time, instead of always and everywhere late, and making others late ?" "Poor girl'." said my mother, whose compassion was uppermost. -I pity her with all my heart yet it is not a case of life and death. This trial may be attend ed with beneficial results. We will hope so." lam sorry that this hope was appar ently not to be realized. The lesson fail ed to be read aright. Jeannette recovered her serenity, and resumed her tardy ways. A yet severer lesson was needed, and it same. The steamer in which, after an absence of ten or twelve weeks, George Allibone was to embark for home, was lost, and not a passenger saved. - • My father took me to my poor stricken friend, in her distant home. Pale and dumb with grief, yet with tearless eyes, she let us take her alniost lifeless hand. From her bloodless lips came only the low, anguished cry, "If I had only said fare well !" What comfort in words? We offered none. lgy father's eyes brimmed over, and my heart was breaking for my poor Jeannette. But relief came speedily. The joyful sews was received that George was safe, having a necessary change in his plans and would arrive in a fortnight. Jeannette came up from the depths. What should her thank-offerings be:' She made the resolution to become at once faithful to her appointments, prompt and reliable. :It was not that she would try—she would . tipeak the commanding words, "I will !" She has kept her resolution. Writing - to me, after a lapse of years : "You will :hardly know your dilatory friend. Ire member and practice your advice of fur azner years, to be first ready for my ap• pointments, and to restore other work for the interval of waiting after I am ready. It is surprising how often I find not a moment left for waiting. Still, I feel the i'old tendency to procrastinate, and I am obliged steadfastly to resist it. 'Delays are dangerous,' as our old writing copies used to run ; the sentiment is hackneyed, ' but oh, how true! George says he owes you ten thousand thanks for your faithful counsel, and shall speak them when you make us the visit of which we feel so sure, because your promises, as I well know, are 1: faithfully kept." tlect ffliscrilanp. What Next ? A JdOST MARVELOUS DISCOVERY. An extraordinary discovery of great practical utility is reported in the London Times of May 2G. It is based on an au thenticated and detailed statement in the Brisbane Courier, of New South Wales. In one of the land-locked reaches on Syd ney harbor, in that colony, an establish ment has been put up in which is being conducted an experiment, the success of *hick is now established beyond any doubt, that must have an immense effect on the future prosperity of h_ustralia. The gentlemen connected with this enter prise are Signor Rotura, whose researches into the botany and natural history of South America have made his name eminent, and Mr. James Grant, preeminent for his knowledge in the science of generating cold, and the success of his freezing cham ber at Woolhara. It appears that some five months ago Signor Ratura called upon Mr. Grant to invoke his assistance in a scheme fur the transmission of live stock to Europe. He averred that he had discovered a South American vegetable poison. allied to the well•known trookara, that had the power of perfectly suspending animation, and that the trance thus produced continued till the application of another vegetable essence caused the blood to resume its cir culation and the heart its functions. Be fbre he left, Mr. Grant had . his doubts turned into wonderine• e' curiosity by expe rimenting on his dog. The Signor injected two drops of this liquid mixed with a lit tle glycerine into a small" puncture made in the dog's ear, and-in three or four min utes the animal was' perfectly rigid, the four legs stretched bac)tward, the eyes wide open, pupils very much dilated, and exhibiting symptoms very similar to tho,e of death by strychnine, except that there had been no previous struggle or pain. Begging his owner to have no apprehen sion for the life of' his favorite animal, Signor Rotura lifted the dog carefully and placed him on a shelf iu a cupboard, where he begged he might be left until the fol loving day. In the interval Mr. Grant was much pained at the apparent cruelty he had in flicted on his faithful friend. The tem perature of the body in the first four hours being gradually lowered to 25 degrees Fahrenheit below ordinary blood temper ature, the body by morning was as cold as in actual' death. At the promised hour of 10 o'clock next morning Signor Rotura appeared. He plunged the boy in a tub of-warm water and laid the dog's head under. After about ten minutes of this bath the body was taken out and another liquid injected in a puncture wade in the neck. The dog .first showed the return of We in the eye, and in about six min a.% lie-drew a long hreath, and the. rigid ity left his limbs; in a few -minutes more he commenced wagging his tail, then stowly got up, stretched himself, and trotted off as though nothing had happened. On the suggestion of Dr Barker, after several subsequent unsuccessful experi ments, respiration was encouraged, as in the case of persons drowned, by artificial compression and expansion of the lungs. He was of the opinion that as the heart in every case commenced to beat, it was a want of vital force to set the lungs in proper motion that caused death. The re sult showed his surmises to be perfectly correct. A number of animals whose lives have been sealed up in this artificial death have been kept in the freezing chamber from one to five weeks, and it is found. that though the shock to the system from this freezing is - ter) , great, it is not increased by duration of time. In the freezing chamber in the works at Middle Sidney Harbor, the correspondent of the Brisbane Courier saw fourteen sheep, four lambs, and three pigs stacked on their sides in a heap which had been in that position for nineteen days, and were to remain there for three months. Selecting one of these lambs, Signor Rotura carried it outside in to another building, where .a number of shallow cemented tanks were in the floor, having hot and cold water taps to each tank, with a thermometer hanging along side. One of these tanks was quickly filled. The lamb, apparently dead, except as to its eye, which was extraordinarily brilliant, and its body hard as a stone, was gently dropped into the warm bath. It was al lowed to remain there about twenty-three minutes, its head being raised twice above the water for the introduction of the ther mometer into its mouth, and then it was taken out and laid on the floor. Signor Rotura quickly divided the wool on its neck, and inserting the sharp point of a small silver syringe under the skin, in jected the antidote, a pale green liquid, supposed to be a decoction from the root of the astracharlis, found in South Amer ica. The lamb was then turned on its back, the Signor standing across it, gently compressing its ribs with his knees and hands in such a niannr as to imitate their natural depression an'a expansion during breathing. In ten minutes the animal was struggling to free itself, and when released skipped out through the door, and went gamboling and bleating over the little garden in front. One is almost tempted to ask, in the presence of such a discovery, whether death itself may not ultimately be baffled by scientific investigation. fibe discoverers claim that by this process, with freezing. chambers in steamers, sheep and cattle in which life is suspended can be revived io a healthy state on landing, and turned out to pasture, or sold as fresh meat. Signor Rotura has no doubt that he can attempt his experiment with perfect safety on a human being. He intends to ask Sir Henry Parkes for the body of the next felon under capital sentence; and if granted, he is sure, after placinff b it for one month in a freezing chamber, by his process there will be no fear of a fatal result. Whether this temporary suspension of life would affect the longevity of the subject Signor Rotura can give no positive information, but he believes its duration might be pro longed for years. He believes, as no change takes place, or can take place while in the frozen trance, no consumption, destruction, or reparation of tissue being possible, it would be so many unvalued and profitless years added to a lifetime. Signor Rotura proceeds to South America at once for a large supply cf the two necessaries for the safe conduct of his process, and both these substances at present remain a secret. THERE is no such thing as a menial office, when you put a true man into it. A menial office is an office with a mean man in it. Sunday Finery. The Examiner anil Chronicle says : "The prevalent habit of over-dressing at church is the cause not only of a great deal of the extravagance but of much of the ir religion of the day. It is an unquestion able fact that the seating . capacity of our churches in New York, for example, could accommodate, on the average, congrega tions of twice the present size. There are people enough to fill them, and many of them don't come because they believe the Christian people don't want them to come. They are mistaken, of course, but who is responsible for the mistake? Christians cannot be wholly guiltless in this matter. We talk about 'the difficulty of reaching the masses ;' but does not this difficulty, in no small measure. grow out of the fact that we ourselves build up a barrier be tween us and them, which, though impal pable, is as impassible as a stone wall ?" This is an old subject, and its discussion is as threadbare as some of the clothes which those who discuss it would have us wear to church. The fact is, that when people go where they expect to meet other people they are apt to put on the best they have. Even those who are straitened in their means do this. It is particularly decorous to go to the house of God in good style. Loud and ostentatious dressing is in bad taste anywhere. But if people have fine raiment, be it ever so beautiful and costly, we see no objection in wearing it to church, provided it is paid for, or likely to be within a reasonable time. Gadding Women. The other day a woman living in Toledo went out to see a neighbor, leaving her three children in the care of a girl, who, following her mistress' example, also went gadding. The mother returned after two hours' absence, having in the meantime exchanged her budget of news with her neighbor. One child was writhing in the agonies of death. The children had found Jbottle containing 'corrosive sublituate,and the youngest had drank of it. The little innocent died, and was buried, a victim to its mother's neglect. The mother is rep resented as feeling terrible on account of her bereavement; and so she ought. She is a type of thousands of mothers who neglect their homes, their. children, and their husbands, and expect that fate will forgive their neglect and save them from its penalty. Very often their expec tations are realized, but it so happens that once in a while these abnormal women are brought to a sense of the enormity of their offense against .their families by some ter trible tragedy. A woman who cannot find it in her heart t4o lOok after her household affairs, to see that her children are well taken cara of, and arc, as far as a mother's precaution affects them, out of harm's way, and who cannot greet their husband with a clean house and her presence, sins when she marries. Those women whose delight it is to constantly gad with their neighbor, to walk the streets, attend every matinee, libel woniaohooilyand belie: the maternal instinct. Grumbling. What a luxury it must be, to some peo ple, to grumble ! Rob them of that lux ury, and life seems barely endurable.— You might as well deprive them of the noonday sun. You might as well obliterate from sight the greed and velvety coat of Nature. They must grumble. Grumbling is a constitutional necessity with them. It is a part, and an important part, of' their organization. They grumble as naturally and as inevitably as they eat and drink. Indeed, they might, perforce, dispense for a time with those interesting table per formances; but total abstinence from grumbling, to a regular grumbler, is just as impossible as total abstinence from water to fish. And, goodness knows ! life furnishes sufficient material for fault finding. The least querrulous find it difficult at all times t•) be amiable amid the perverseness of events, and the counter currents of all little things that should move on in unity and harmoniously. Amid such a state of, things the morbidly dissatisfied may easily revel in the expression of their discontent ment; and to do them justice, they seldom lose an opportunity. In domestic life, the conduct of servaute is a theme, alone, of endless complaint. The "greatest plague in life," as servants are called, occasion, too, the grandest variety of these little out bursts of the grumbling propensity. But, after all, it is our impression that good employers make good servants, and rice versa. May not all grumbling, therefore, arise as much from the grumbler's evil habits as from the evil characters of the person or thing grumbled at ! It would be quite as well for us to contemplate, bow and then, this view of the question, and reason accordingly. What to Teach Boys. To be true—to be genuine. No educa tion is worth anything that does not in clude this. A man had better not know how to read,—he had better never learn a letter in the alphabet, and be true and genuine in intention and in ietion p rather than being learned in all sciences and all languages, to be at the same time false in heart and counterfeit in life. Above all things, teach the boys that truth is more than earthly power or position. To be pure in thought, language and life—pure in mind and body. An impure man, young or old, poisoning the society where he moves with smutty stories and impure ex amples, is a moral ulcer, a plague spot, a leper who ought to be treated as were the lepers of old, who were banished from so ciety, and compelled to cry "unclean," as a warning to save others from the pesti lence. To be unselfish ; to care for the feelings and comforts of others; to be po lite; to be generous,-noble and manly. This will include a genuine reverence for the aged, and things sacred. To be self reliant and self-helpful, even from early childhood; to be industrious always, anct self-supporting at the earliest proper age. Teach them that all honest work is hon orable, and that an idle, useless life of de pendence on others is disgraceful. When a boy has learned these things, when he has made these.ideas a part of his being— however young he may be, however poor, or however rich, he has learned some of the most important things be ought to know when be becomes a man. With these properly mastered, it will be easy to find all the rest.

'TiN good to ?untie on Nation 4 passed away' Forecerfrom the land we call our own. ARTICLE XIV. THE TUSCARORA INDIANS, To the Tuscarora tribe of Indians,. there is attached a special interest, not only be cause they were once inhabitants of the Juniata Region, but because they have left their name glued to one of our moun tain ranges, one of our:finest valleys, and one of our large creeks. So far as we have read, no writer has ventured to state how the word -Tuscarora" came to be applied geographically in the Juniata region. His torians do not even tell us, that the tribe of that name ever were residents of the valley. When and how the name came here has led me to an extended examina tion of their history, and the information is much more meager, than would be sup posed under the circumstances. His torians have generally contented them selves with the statement, that the Tusca roras were driven out of North Carolina, after a war with the whites, and that they then came north to New York, and were adopted by the Five Nations, thus form ing the Six Nations. The date is given variously as about 1712, 'l3 'l4 and 'l5. There seems to be a doubt hanging over the precise date of their coming north. But why this locality should have their name fastened upon it, situated, as it is, midway from Carolina to New York, no writer, we have met with, has stopped to inquire._ Let us than hunt for a solution. THEIR TRADITIONARY LEGENDS In David CusicOs Ancient ChrOnology of the Onquys, or Iroquois, he says, "Tar enyawagon, the first legislator, leads his people out of the mountains (of Oswego) to the river Yenonatateh, (now Mohawk,) where six tribes formed an alliance, called the Long House, Agoneaseah, afterwards reduced to five, the sixth spreading west and south. The Kautanoh, since Tusca rora, tame from these. Some went as far as the Onauweyoka, now Mississippi." This should have been 1500 years before Col umbus. We pay no attention to the dates. Towards 1042, there was "war with the Towancas, (Mississaugers,) and a foreign stranger visits the Tuscaroras of .Neuse river, who are divided into threo teibes, and at war with the Nanticokes and To tale's (Tuteloes)." One hundred yeira later, was "the first civil war with the Eries, who had sprung from the Senecas." These legends at least show the Indian traditions of a common descent, which we shall find is amply proven by a common language. SMITH CALLS THEM MONACANS. When Capt. John Smith and his asso ciates first made their settlements at James town, Va., May 13,1607, the Tuscaroras, called Monacans by the Powhattans, were in alliance with the Mannahoacs hi a war they were waging against the Powhattans. The Mannahoacs were s confederacy of fuur tribes and no doubt belonged to the same family of Indian nations as the Tus caroras, but were obliterated at an early day. THEIR MIGRATIONS The Tuscaroras did not claim to be Autochthons in Carolina, but invariably traced their origin from the Iroquois oa the St. Lawrence, and claimed that their ancestors on their way to Carolina had wandered as far west as to tha Mississippi river. The names of places, on this ex• tended route, now incorporated in their language, and descriptive of the journey and country, were pointed to as incontro vertable evidence. Of the general truth of this statement of their origin, there can be no reasonable doubt. WHERE THEY WERE LOCATED. They were located on the Neuse and Tar rivers, and over an extensive region between and about the head waters of the B..oanoke and Cape Fear and the James; but their dominions did not extend to the sea coast, as that region was inhabited by the . Corees and Powhattans. Even in Vir ginia the Chowan, the Meherrin and the Nottaway rivers still retain the names de rived from branches of this tribe—flowing monuments of a people now long passed away. TIIE SAME STORY ABOUT LANDS. From the time of the settlements in North Carolina, which began in 1650, there bad been peace and harmony betweep the Tuscaroras and the white people for 60 years Unlike William Penn and his predecessors, the Dutch and Swedes on the Delaware, the white people in Carolina did not recognize in the native Indian any right to the soil. They took possession of the lands as they wished, without purchas ing thew of the natives. These encroach ments of the white people at length began to create jealousy and distrust, which finally ripened into hatred and resistance. The story of their wrongs cannot fail to awaken our sympathy. TIIEY CAPTURE EXPLORERS. In 1709 and 1610, under the auspices of Christian De Graffenreid, a Swiss, there were 650 Germans from the Palatine trans ported to North Carolina, having fled from their native country to escape religious persecution. The Proprietaries of that Province assigned large tracts of the ter ritories of the Tus . caroras to these Ger mans. In September, 1711, De Graffen reid and Lawson, the surveyor general of the Province, went up the Neuse to locate these lands, .and ascertain how far that stream was navigable They were captured by a band of 60 Indians and hurried to a distant village of the Tuscaroras. LAWSON BURNED - GRAFFENREID RE- LEASED, Lawson was regarded with bitter hos tility by the Indians, as his duties com pelled him to locate the grants of the Pro prietaries, they regarded him above all others as responsible fur the loss of their lands. They, therefore, after a discussion of two days, put him to death with cruel torments De Graffenreid was also con demned to death at the stake, but he told them be had just lately come into the country, that he was a chief of a different tribe from the English, and promised to take no wore of their land, so he was re leased, after being kept five weeks, to re turn to his friends. THEY SLAUGHTER THE INHABITANTS. During this time the Tuscaroras and Corees, whom they had drawn into an al- liance, attacked the settlements of the whites on the Roanoke river and Pamlico sound, spreading death and devastation along the entire frontiers. September 22, 1711, one hundred German Palatines were - massacred. The anniversary of this event was long observed among the Germans as a day of fasting and prayer. At Bath, in Beaufont county, the Planters and Hugue not refugees were Stricken down; _Slid hunted with pine knot torches through the forests at night, and during the three nights following they scoured the region on the Albemarle Sound, visiting an indis criminate slaughter upon all the white in truders. The war lasted some two years. In 1712, one hundred and thirty-seven persons were slain by the Tuscaroras on the Roanoke. YAMOYDEN. SUBDUED BY WHITES AND INDIANS At length, the Virginians and South Carolinas came to the aid of the settlers. They enlisted the Yamtnaseees ; and their old enemies the Cherokees at Catabas were appealed to for help against the systematic ally plundered Tuscaroras. Gov. Spats. wood, of Virginia, enga i vd one tribe of the Tuscaroras in a treaty of peace, thus de serting their allies in the hour of their ex tremity. South Carolina sent a small body of' troops, with a force of friendly Indians; the Tuscaroras were attacked by them, in their fort, and forced to agree to UMW of peace. The North Carolina government had not time to take much part in the war, as it was just then engaged in dialteasions with the Presbyterians, t4tAkers and Lutherans, in an effort to establish the Church of England in the Province. KIDNAPPING AND WAR AGAIN. The troops, on their way homeward, in violation of the treaty, seized some young Indians for the purpose of selling them in- to slavery. This crime seems for years prior to this, to haVe been one of the grievances under which the Tuscaroras labored; and this instance, in face of the- , capitulation, was a flagrant outrage. This caused the war to break out again ; and after being vigorously prosecuted on both sides for another year terminated finally in driving the great body of the Tuscaroras from their ancient habitations. This took plaCe in June 1713. James Moore; *ho had been formerly Governor of South Car olina, a needy adventurer, who for years had been attempting to fill his purse ly kidnapping Indians and selling them into slavery, was just the man to engage in this war. With large reinfortfegientn of In dians from the. south,.he anap. few ether white men drove the TuscaroraS to - . lheir fort on the Neuse river, in Greene county, where on its surrender 800 of them were captured in March ; and after three months of a vigorous campaign ' the hostile pa:- tions of the tribes ~abluldoned their old bunting.grendde apd 'We graves . of their fathersffir a quiet refreat "hear Aersthp quehannet Wildaametm says: me fors was called Naharuke, and was taken .

This is the story as gathered from - the' historians, but I apprehend that it falls fir short of all the facts. By reference to the Provincial council of Pennsylvania, it will be seen that more thee a year prior to ate attack on Lawson's surveying party, the Tuscaroras had already in contempthtlern a migration into this Province; that fot' several years past, prior to 17.10, they, ,had been troubled w it tr"fearful affreheneiocua," and that murders had ()purred; and that some of them had_ been .lislaapped and sold into slaverx ; and all.gtis ea,' „agora quenee of the troubles growing out 91' the encroachments of the Whites. we learn from the following quaint ando , loter. eating document. r , BEFORE THIS THEY WARTED TO COME TO PENNSYLVANIA. : • On the Bth of June, 1740, "aceording to the purport of an embassy from their own people," Col.

"These belts (they say) are only sent - as an introduction, and' in order to break off hostilities till next Spring, for then their king will come and sue for the peace they so much desire."
