'SQUIRE BLOH.
AN HISTORICAL ItOMANCE OF THE
MAIIONINO VALLEY.
by w. n. lunnisoTos.
In tho Mahoning Valley, in years long ago,
There liv'd a good farmer, 'Squire Kindarus
Blohj
An honest man lie, many good deeds had
done,
By earning and saving n fortune; had won.
Tho hills to his right and tho hills on his left
For dark shining treasures had not yet been
cleft;
Ilo dream'd not of them, but ho courted tho
soil,
And garnered its fruits by tho strong arm of
toil.
Tlio swift-glidlngstrcnmlet spring mornings
ho heard
Commingling its notes with tho song of tho
bint ;
Tho Indian wnr-whoop nnd tho bear's surly
growl,
Tho whip-poor-will's threat nnd tho hoot of
tho owl,
The rattlesnake's hiss and tho catamount's
wowl,
Tho gray fox's bark and tho hungrv wolfs
howl ;
All these wero familiar lo Kindarus Blob,
Of tho Mahoning Valley, in years long ago
Few neighbors had he, but each to tho other
Was welded together like brother to brother;
Brave men and true, in tho battles of life,
Stood shoulder to shoulder in peace nnd In
strife.
They fought with tho forest, a victory won,
They defended their righU with tho Minute
Man's gun.
As generous as bravo was Kindarus Bloh,
Ho had tho respect both of friend nnd offoo
(If foes ho had any), but foes ho had few
But friends he had many, devoted and true.
The Delaware Bravo as ho travel'd that way,
Did never neglect some duo homago lo pav
To pale friend Kindarus or trinket bestow
To little Irena, only child of 'Sriuiro Bloh
And the pipe-of-peaco smoke, and rcceivo nt
the end,
Some gift of good-will from tho hand of n
friend.
As lime glided by, in peneo and good health,
It added somo sorrow, but a great deal of
wealth.
For asiilo from his Inrin, ns tho story is told,
Ho turn'd every whim of thesavngo to gold,
I have paid that tho 'Squiro had ono only
child,
A sweet little girl, gentle, loving and mild ;
When she was a nursling, ono morning in
May,
Tlio wise hand of Oral took the mother away.
This shed a dark gloom o'er 'Sqr. Bloh'slife,
But the love of his child took tho placo of a
wife.
He gathered about him a worthy household
And lived like a 6toie, untiring and bold ;
Among them, tho woman who cooked for
tho 'Squire,
An Iroquois maiden, old Ayrey orAyro
As everyone called her a good farmcr-eok
Whn a heroic interest in everything took
That belong'd to tho master. She kept a
strict sight
To things that were passing by day nnd by
night.
Old Ayro had n brother, n prophet was he,
Who had his wigwam in Iho Cherry Valley ;
His uamo when translated in languago
that't rife,
Quite sing'lar enough, is Man-with-a-Knife.
Old Knife," was a christian, Moravia's hand
Had louch'd his crude heart; and now 1 d
ho stand
As a peaco mediator and ono very good
He prevented his peoplo rom thirsting for
blood.
He, with his sisler, tho thrifty Old Ayre,
Were sources of strength and of wealth to
tlio 'Squire.
X man whn has wealth must managoin brief
To keep it coneeal'il from tlio eye of tho thief;
If bank he has none, nor iron-bound cell,
A hollow in tho wall may answer as well ;
If nn ono conjectures tho door to tho hole,
No place can bo safer lo put away gold.
In tho base nf his house, on n plan of his own,
Was tho good farmer's bank clos'd up with
stone.
It was hero that ho kept all his treasure
reserve, And guarded tho secret with cunning and
nerve.
No'Kxly suspieioned this ruse of tho Squire,
Not even tho watchful and artful Old Ayre.
Tin stones of tho wall were alike, anil to
know
Which ono was tho door must bo counted by
row .
"Nino stones from tho corner and nine stones
high
That was Iho sign that tho 'Squiro know it
by.
As year followed vear, Irena had grown
To a pretty young lady, like a rose that has
blown,
Many changes had come, and lucky Squiro
Bloh,
More ambitious, rcscrvod and exacting did
grow.
In fact, it was noticed by all now of late,
He attracted some note at tho Scat of the
State.
Jut at this time o'er from Et.rope there came
A dashing young gent after fortune aud
fame.
He made his headquarters at the home of
'Squiro Bloh
And traded with tho Bedmcn os a partner
in Co.
In tho army of Trussia this young man had
been
And the way that ho told it did much honor
win
He won, by tha way, tho good will of tho
'Squire,
And set the young heart of Irena on Cre.
He was a poor dealer in skins, it was clear,
Which was very annoying to his partner,
the 'Squire,
Tho Indiaus would sell a black sheep for a
bear,
And make him believe that good fur was
but hair;
A eat lor a beaver he sometimes brought in.
A .!,, 1, for a fuible or some other skin
That was worthless to sell, ho thought was
' ,1 , ,
tho best.
improsseu on ms inmu uy mo imiiaus in

jest.
But still tht Squiro hoped that in titno he
I would learn
To trado In such way ns n profit to turn.
a
Ono ov'ning Irena, in the gr vo all alone,
Had taken n scat on on old sitting-stono
Whoso top was worn smooth by such uso
long ago,
By the friends and tha guests of her father,
'Squiro Bloh.
Tlio mockingbird's carol Bho heard tn tho
trees,
And tho ctirls on her head wcro tho sport of
tho breeze.
Sho was thinking I know not her thoughts
lo impart,
But this little ditty welled up in her heart,
And in strains not unllko tho sad moan of
the dove,
Her song floated forth on tho pinions of love !
"I'll weavo thee n garland of roses,
The sweet blushing emblem of spring,
I'll dot It about with bright posies,
And It unto tbeo I will bring.
O, speak to mo Vlndly,
Hut speak to me free ;
O, lead mo on blindly,
But safely to thee.
"I'll fly whero my lovo Isrccltnlng,
A wlng-strlken bird I will be,
I'll tell him my heart Is repining,
And hear what he answers lo me.
He'll speak to mo kindly;
My wings he'll caress,
Ho'll fold mo so blindly,
Close, close to his breast."
Sho finished her love-song, and raising her
head,
Sho found tho 'Squire standing liko ono from
the dead ;
Ho stepp'd n paco nearer and drew a deep
sigh,
And sho noted a tear dropping down from
his eye.
"Irenn," ho trembled as sadly ho said,
And gently ho laid bis rough hand on her
head,
"I know that thy lifo has been barren and
dreary,
With litllo of joy, nnd n great deal to weary,
But tho best that I could I havo dono for thy
sako,
Sinco heav'n saw fit thy good mother to lake.
When I am laid down witli thy mother to
sleep,
And death o'er my head shall its still vigils
keep,
Much wealth you will have and now I do
pray,
That you never forget my advice oT to-day :
Lifo's pleasures are phantoms that lio just
ahead,
Would you know who lias caught them ? go
ask of tho dead 1
Be wary of Love, keep a watch nn mankind,
For Lovo is a blind man leading the blind,
And all men are wicked for gain or forpelf,
From his birth to to tho grayo every net is
self.
Much else I have told you in years that aro
gone,
Much moro I will tell you in time yet to
come.
I know bv Iho rose on thy lip nnd tho check
Thy heart hath crown strong and thy head
hath grown weak.
Bowaroof Carl Weber a something doth tell
Ho wills neither mo nor mv Irena well.
Bus'ncss has call'd mo to Easlon to-night,
Where to-morrow tho Gov'nor'll a council-
fito light
With Tadcuskund and when I return,
I'll make thy young heart witli ecstasy burn.
new gown I'll buy thee, a comb and n cuo
To wear on thy head us the great ladies do.
Now, be a good girl bo patient nnd true ;"
With this admonition ho kiss'd her"adicu."
Sho watched him as off through tlio valley
he strode,
On his mission to Easlon as envoy he rode.
His words had sunk deep in her heart like
on arrow,
Filling her visions with gloom and witli
sorrow.
Tlio hours glideit by, nor seemed it so long
Tho stars and tho moon and tho whip-poor
will's song,
And tho night-wind's sigh, still fouud her
alone,
In deep meditation on tlio old sitting-sUmo
God only knows Iho phllosopy of life,
'Tis Ho who imbues it with peaco or with
strife ;
Ho blights earthly hopes and bids us go rest,
With the kindly assurauco that "all's for tho
best."
Eternity is datknass, with no ray of light,
If whatever is, Is not certainly riylil I
Thero is no mistake in the work of His hand,
What seems so is but tho short foresight of
man.
"Irena I" tho voice sent n thrill to heart,
She sprang to her feet with affright aud a
start.
No ono seemed near ; could it be an illusion ?
A fanciful hope of a welcome intrusion?
Tlio shades of the mountains at hand scem'd
to dally
With tlio moonlit sheen spreading o'er tho
volley.
Just at that moment, from behind a great
treo,
Young Carl Weber sprang with a joy ful glee,
He seized tbe fair girl in his manly embrace
And seated himself iu tho very Mine placo
Whero she had been sitting two hours or
more,
And Into her ear did his lovo-pleadings pour.
"Looso mo, Carl Weber I" she said with a cry,
"A deep yawning gulf lies between you I ;
My father just tells me you wish mo not well,
Now, if this bo true, let me bid you farewell i"
"Your father" tho name sent a chill to his
soul,
But arous'd a deep passion that made him
more bold.
"Your father' mistaken I Irena, I pray I
In the name of the past thai you hear what
I say I
"lly the stars that dot the tky to-nluht 1
Jly the moon that sheds Its silver light I
lly the Hand that guides them all above i
I worship thee, my Irena I love I
"lly Uo elves that snort on yonder bill I
lly tbe spook that omens only ill I
lly the spirit dimn'd to mourn forever I
I'll ccaiatolore thee, never I never I
"Irena queen my dove divine I
Speak now tbe words ty Ihou'rt mine I
The solemn von, now In secret make,
For me thy father and tho world forsake I
"The secret need be known by none,
Tuat we have merged ourselves In one)
Ami when thy lather's bead Is cold,
Unto the world tbe story may bo told."

. She believ'd that wo all should bo Und tu
I each other- .
Should lovo one another as sister nnd brother.
Bho knew that sho lov'd tho young man on
whoso arm,
She now wa reclining unmindful of harm.
If evil foreboding or words of her father,
Did creep in her mind, sho thought it a
bother.
Tho wish of her lover ; sho thought but of this
And eeal'd his dark vow with a sigh and a
kiss.
"Irena," ho said, with a whisper so bold,
That it sent tho first chill to her love-stricken
soul,
"Thy father possesses a vast store of wealth,
And also enjoys amazing good health.
Many years ho may live and keep us apart,
With n moth-blighting secret concoal'cd in
thy heart.
You seo on my finger a magical ring,
With conccal'd iu its gema sharp, death
dealing sting.
Now, should I so will it, thy father would die
Without pain or anguish, suffering or sigh."

And sped to tho house with a loud on her

Sho cnter'd the thrcshold,not stopping to bow
And heard tho diro warning "Remember

When tho timo roll'd 'round for tho Squire
to bo home,
'Twas a sourco of much care, ho neglected
to come.
Ono morning his horse was found tied atthe
gate,
Which proved that tho master had met an
ill fato ;
And the horse was rcturn'd,that tho fact
should bo seen
That tho deed was tho work of a conscience-
struck fiend.
His neighbors joined in, and a search of n
week,
Found tho body afloat in tho Mahoning
Creek.
No wound was found on it, but tho right
hand was black,
And his limbs and his faco wero a mottled
lilac
'Twos a mystery profound how tho good
'Squire had died,
But a jury conjectured that it was suicide.
Carl nnd Irena were wedded that dato
And tho former took charge of tho father's
estate.
Another great mystery, unsolved and
profound I
No papers or wealth could be heard of or
found.
Or only a few pounds could bo found, at the
best
A little ready cash locked up in tho chest.
The houses wcro old, and as for tho farm,
To mako it of profit required a strong arm,
A good resolution, hands willing to work
All of life's duties Carl Weber would shirk.
Ho grew much discouraged in timo very brief
And his faco was a picture of woo, and of
grief.
Ilo treated Irena most shamefully ill,
Aud ollen did threaten himself ho would
kill.
He left her ono morning abused and in pain
Aud ho never returned or was heard of again.
Irena in sorrow was given ono joy,
Tlio imago of herself, a blilho littlo boy;
That tho namo of her father to tho future
should go,
Sho had tho boy christened as Kiudarus
Bloh.

As years glided on, years full of turmoil
Of sorrow nnd care and of tear-whltcn'd toil ;
Old Ayrey, meantime, iu tho gravo had laid
down,
Aud 'Old Knifo' gono to tho 'happy hunting
ground'
To Irena many hills in her pathway anise,
TlioWarsof tho Nallousdisturbcd tier repose,
Tho soil worn out the farm had grown
poor
And sho often hail prayed tho "lean woll
from tho door."
But her son had waxed strong, and tho plow
and tho hoe,
Ho held with tho will of his grandfather
Bloh
One dark, stormy night she went to her bed,
A very strange acho in her heart and her
head.
Sho soon was asleep, and a curious dream
On herhalf-wakingsensesdid fitfully gleam.
Sho dreamed that sho went to tho cellar at
night,
On an errand, but forgot to lake with her a
light.
When sho got there, most strangely lo say,
The cellar was lighted as brightly as day.
Tho floor scem'd cover'd with whilcn'd men's
bones,
While the sourco of the light wastwo rowsof
stones
In the side of tho cellar, upon its south wail,
Gleaming like gems in an enchanted hall
Sho counted the brilliants sho could not tell
why
"Nine stones from tlio corner nnd nino
stones high I
As she finish'd the counting, tho corner-stone
light
Trembled a moment, like a bird on lis flight,
Then fell from its place with a crash to the
ground,
With a reverberation, or thunder-like sound
Tho shock on her nerves, did a sensation
make
That set her upright on her couch and awake
The storm out of doors was howling and
roaring
While torrent of rain in its midst was
liouring,
Tho dream of tho night had impressed her
mind so,
With the dawn uf daylight, to the cellar she
did go
And now a strange sight that her senses
dismayed
Tho storm of tlio night had a sad havoc
ployed,
A dark pool of water and debris around
Revealed tho fact that the wall had washed
down.
Iu a largo excavation, her eyes did beliold
Some bundles of jarpars and a g.-st box of
gold.
This was tho wealth of 'Squiro Kindarus
Bloh,
Which his hands had laid by in the years
long ago.

Peseeed of much wealth, Irena grew jwor,
