JOSE I'll IIKNDKKSON. It was mv lot in early lift? to he cast into the society of some of the lirst settlers in the valley of the Juniata, and to hear many tales of the " hair breadth escapes" and thrilling incidents, u hich befel those hardy adventurers, in the desultory and vindictive warfare they had waged with the aborigines of the soil. Holding a title to the land having its origin beyond the reach of tradition: their just claim had been fully acknowledged in all our treaties or transactions of a public character with the Indian tribes they must therefore have had reason to enter tain a jealous alarm at the continued en croachments of the white man upon their rightful inheritance. Aml depending main ly as they did for subsistence upon the game which abounded in their forests, ami for articles of the first necessity to the small traffic in skins and peltry which they carried on with the regular trader; as might be expected they would regard with much distrust and little favor, the occu pation of their streams and huntinggrounds, by those whose superior means and ap pliances gave them great advantages over tlieni in the exercise of their own peculiar craft. Quarrels unavoidably arose which repeated aggressions tended to inllaine and exasperate —and a war of extermination was the unhappy consequence. As there were few among the pioneers of the settlement, who had not mourned over some friend or relative fallen beneath the murderous tomahawk and scalping knife, it is difficult at this day, to conceive the bitterness of the hatred engendered in their breasts against their ruthless foes— who, in their turn, for the wrongs too often inflicted upon them, had sought an indis criminate and bloody vengeance. And too often, happy was the lot of the captive whom sudden death had resetted from the most cruel and protracted tortures which savage ingenuity could invent or vengeance inflict. And yet there were not wanting many instances wherein these vindictive feel ings gave place to the prompting of a bet ter spirit, and the unhappy prisoner des tined for the stake and the fagot, was fre quently snatched from the flumes to supply in some lone heart the place of a lost son, or a beloved daughter. How* beautiful a trait of Indian character is here developed in a custom, that dis covers a refinement of feeling, and a sen sibility to the finest impulse of our nature, at variance with all our preconceived ideas of savage life, and proves the strength of those holy ties with which these children of the wild wood were firmly bound to gether. Whilst I have looked upon the spring that bears an imperishable name, near to which once stood the cabin of the cele brated Logan, and have repeated to myself his simple and sublime appeal to the white man, where, in the utter desolation of a broken heart is expressed, with a truth and a pathos that have touched the lowest chord in the scale of human wo: or when the sound of a mighty oak, in the stillness of the wood has recalled to mind the mournfully beautiful words of the dying Pushmala—liovv have 1 regretted that so few anecdotes of these noblemen of nature have been preserved, and that many of the most interesting events of border life, which tradition had imperfectly handed down to the last generation, are destined to fade away from that which is to follow. The ensuing narrative, in which I give the substance of what I heard narrated, deserves to be recorded as a rare instance of disinterested love and chivalrous gener- osity in one of a people we were taught to look upon in onr youthful days, more in the light ol savage beasts, titan rational beings endowed like ourselves with the image and feelings of humanity. . i Mr. John Hall, a revolutionary soldier, and one of the early settlers of Hunting don county, frequently related the following interesting incidents, as having occurred within his own knowledge, and connected j with the captivity and escape of a girl bv j the name of Brotherlon, who had been taken prisoner by a predatory band ofSe- j neka Indians, and carried to their settle ments of the Northern frontier. Two trappers on the Mushannon were driven from their camp, near the present town of I'hilipsburg, by the advancing I war party, ami flying to the nearest settle ment on the Juniata, forewarned the in- ' habitants of the impending danger. The fearful tidings were carried by runners from house to house, and all save Brother- j ton and his daughter sought the protection ol the Blockhouse at 4 Standing Stone,' (now called Huntingdon.) The father being absent at the time, the heroic girl, resisting every entreaty, resolutely refused to leave the house until his return, which j was every moment expected. The rest of j the family, consisting of the mother and several small children, with the most gloomy forebodings were reluctantly corn- . pelted to leave iter behind. Brotherlon , did not return that night, and early the ! next morning the barking of the dog ap prising her that some one was near, she opened the door, when conceive of her I horror and dismay, to find the smile of welcome with which she had thought to have greeted iter father, was met by the scowling visage of a savage foe. It was j some time before she recovered from the shock of the overwhelming calamity that hail befallen her, believing us she did. that a violent death or a fate still more horrible awaited her; and it was not until they had held a short conference among themselves, that she was somewhat reassured by one <>l the party who gave Iter to understand in broken Knglislt and bv significant ges tures, that she had falien to the lot of one who would protect her, and that unless she made an attempt to escape, no one should harm Iter. Already suspecting that their approach had been discovered, from the circum stance that several cabins they had visited bore certain evidences of the hasty llight of their late occupants, and loading them selves with the plunder thus acquired, they made a precipitate retreat through the mountains. They were imnicdiatlv pursued by all the disposable force at Standing Stone, which Krotherton arrived in time to join. The party was headed by an old hunter, who following the trail with the instinct of a blood-hound, came upon the place of their first night encampment among the laurels ofTussey's mountain. On the following day, in tracing their footsteps over some boggy ground, they re marked with pleasure that the slight shoes of .Miss Hrotherton—worn through the preceding days inarch, were now replaced by a substantial pair of moccasins. After litis discovery the leader of the party, a man experienced in the warfare and cus toms of the Indians, proposed a consul tation, and addressing himself to Hroth erton, the one of the parte most deeply interested, advised him as tiie most pru dent course on his daughter's account to give up the pursuit, as it was now evident they meant to treat her kindly, and that if overtaken and finding themselves encum bered with the prisoner, they would most probbably put her to death, rather titan that she should fall into their hands. This prudent counsel happily prevailed, and they returned to the settlement. Little is remembered of the adventures of the prisoner and her captors, except the instances she related of their extreme \i giiancc and caution, to baffle pursuit and avoid surprise: such as when ascending n mountain if a stouc was moved they would turn to replace it, and ill the stillness of the night if a noise was heard, as the snap ping of anything, their pipes were instantly laid aside and their lires put out and not a word spoken until there was light enough to resume their noiseless march. Our heroine is represented to have pos sessed much rustic beauty and attractive ness of manner, and although she had scarcely reached the full bloom of woman hood previous to her captivity, more than one aspirant to her hand, had already paid homage to her charms. Alter remaining upwards of a year in the family of a chief as an adopted daugh ter, Oran, a distinguished young warrior, became deeply enamoured of her, and with every demonstration of the most ar dent affection, offered her marriage. His suit was mildly but firmly rejected. Some time after, he sought and obtained a pri vate interview, at which he told her he had plainly discovered that the White l)ove (a name by which he was pleased to distinguish her,) loved the hills and the valleys of her own " clear stream ," better than the lakes and the plains of the lied man ; and that she was pining at heart after the friends from whom she had been so rudely torn. That however much the rejection of her suit had pained him, to be the daily witness of her unhappincss, distressed hint still more—and that his ob ject in seeking the present interview, was j to propose a scheme for her deliverance. After enjoining upon her the utmost vi gilance, that nothing in her conduct or de meanor might lead to a suspicion of her intended flight, he appointed to meet her at a well known spot, a few miles from the village, on the midnight of a certain day, and to lull suspicion to rest, a few days | previous to the appointed time, he intimat- j ed an intention of taking his usual hunting excursion of several weeks duration.— ' Faithful to his engagement, the young chief, provided with every necessary lor such an undertaking, set out with his inter esting charge on the way to her long regret ted home, nor did he relax night or day, in the most unremitting attention to her comfort or convenience throughout this long and dreary journey. At nightfall, after kindling her fire, he i spread her couch of forest leaves with the soft fronds ol the withered fern, over which he erected a canopy of hemlock Houghs to protect her from the chilly dews of the night. A dressed bear skin and blanket ottered her all the comfort required, i alter the fatigues o r the day, to ensure her i a night of repose, at once profound and re lreshing ; secure 111 the consciousness that her slightest appeal would instantly sum . rnon to her side, the bold heart and power , ful arm of one, not more distinguished for : his great strength and manly proportion, than lor daring courage. Alter the simple preparations of the night had been completed, he partook with her of the frugal repast which his knap sack and rifle had furnished him, and then with the true delicacy of the most refined feeling, he retired to take the short repose that nature required, at a respectful dis tance ; and brief would have been the reckoning with the luckless intruder that I would have dared to disturb the one who slumbered near. It was near the close of September, on the last day of their weary inarch, that the \\ arrior and the .Maiden stood upon the summit of a ridge, that overlooked the cottage of her parents, the blue sntoke from which could be seen as it curled up wards amidst the trees. Spread abroad ■ before their eyes lay a scene rich in pic turesque and quiet beauty. The last rays , of the setting sun were resting upon the j summits of the hills, whilst the deep ral lies between were darkening in the shad ows of evening. The soft low murmurings which rose upon the evening breeze, were sent up j from the beautiful Juniata, glimpses of which could be seen as it flashed in light, through various openings amongst the hills, until it was lost to sight in the dark de files of the distant mountains. Pointing to the residence of her parents, the Indian I thus addressed the lair captive. " Orau I can go no farther. The friends of the White Dove are still the mortal foes of the Red men. She now stands amidst her native hills, and looks down upon the | scenes of her childhood. Orau would not have an unwilling bride, he has, therefore, brought her here that she may make Iter final choice in sight of the wigwams of ' her people. Will she return with him to he the happy mistress of his heart and ; home, or send Itim forth a lone warrior into the wilderness V Pointing to tiie setting sun, he continued. 1 See, the Oreat Spirit of Light will soon hide his face behind the western hills, and the world will be dark and sad—but to-morrow lie will look again from the east, and all that live will rejoice in his beams. Thus, ; if the White Dove will hide her face, Oran's heart will be dark and sorrowful, j and if she returns not, the sun will again i shine, he said, hut never more for him.' i He then sat down and buried his face in iiis hands, to await in silence a decision which was to be to him a message of weal or wo—vet firm in his lofty purpose to leave her choice free :—he had said all that became*a great warrior to sav, and he would no owe to gratitude a boon, which love alone should ever bestow. Deeply impressed with gratitude for such disinterested love and generosity, in which there was perhaps mingled some what of a more tender sentiment ; the maiden hesitated between the most con flicting emotions—at one time her inclina tions preponderated in his favor, when the strong and natural desire to see her pa rents, and the deep distress she knew they must have suffered at the indelible dis grace of such a union, first caused her to falter in her choice, and finally to resolve on bidding adieu to her generous lover. Gran heard th announcement of her fi nal decision in silence, nor (lid he again speak. He tried to speak, she said, but ' could not; after pressing her hand to his throbbing heart, and pointing to the earth j and to the Heavens, he disappeared in the 1 shades of the forest, and she never saw him more. Miss Brotherton always describes this, the closing scene of her adventures, with many tears. Some years afterwards, when commis sioners were appointed bv the State au thorities, to hold a treaty with the hostile tribes of the Six Nations, for the ransom of prisoners, the father of Miss Brotherton, retaining a greatlul remembrance of the generous Indian, and willing to return him New Tories—Vol. 6—l\o. 3. a suitable recompense, ordered a rifle to be made. in the constructing and orna menting of which no expense was spared, and as Mr. Hall observed, it was just the kind of a trinket an Indian would glory in the possession of. The ritle was sent out as a present from the young woman to her quondam lover, with a friendly message to the etTect that she would ever remember, with the most heartfelt gratitude. Ids generous devotion, and prav to the Cheat Spirit, who was the common parent of both the white and.the red races, for his prosperity and happiness, and that if they were never to see each orber in this world, she trusted that they would meet again in those delightful abodes provided for the good of all na tions and colors, in the world to come, hut alas ! how did she grieve to hear that after his return from the Juniata, his friends were much concerned at his altered ap pearance and manner, so different from him they had so lately seen rejoicing in the strength of youthful manhood with all its brightest hopes and aspirations. That proud spirit was now bowed down as by some dire calamity. Shunning all com panionship with the world, he walked apart in gloomy reflection, nourishing in secret the flame that was fast consuming him, and longing to lay down a burden that had become intolerable, he soon after fell, covered with wounds, in a reckless assault upon a camp of the Hurons, with whom his heople were at war. Loveliness. Young ladies, it is not your neat dress, your expensive"shawl, or your golden lin gers, that attract the attention of men of sense. It is your character they stud v. If you are trifling and loose in your conver sation—no matter if you are beautiful as an angel—you have no attraction for them. It is the true loveliness of your nature that wins and continues to retain the affec tions of the heart. Young ladies sadly miss it who labor to improve their out ward looks, while they bestow not a thought on their minds. Fools may be won by the gewgaws, and the fashionable by showy dresses ; but the wise and sub stantial are never caught by such traps. Use pleasant and agreeable language, and though you may not be courted by the fop and the sap, the good and truly great will love to linger in your presence. A young gent of Baltimore, at a parly the other evening, threw himself into a tragic position before his lady love, and asked her to have him. She laughed at him—lie desperately drew a pen knife— forgot one of the blades was open—stabbed himself in the breast—the ladies screamed —tragedian was carted home, where it was discovered that he was more fright ened than hurt. This is a dangerous period of the year for roliis—people should be careful—Mrs. Partington says she has got a romantic af fection in her shoulders, the neurology in ; her head, and the embargo in the region of joeular vein ; all from the opening of the window, to throw a bottle at a couple of belligerent cats on the shed. A college professor had a foolish way of commencing every thing he said with, • I say.' Upon hearing that one of the students had mimicked him in this peculiar ity. he sent for the young man, and pro ceeded to give him an admonition, begin ning thus : ' 1 say ! they say, you sav, I say, / say /' If a man expects to meet with anv sym pathy now a days, he must become a re formed drunkard or a fugitive slave. A decent man might linger out a miserable existence and die of starvation, before he could meet with half the s\ mpaiby exhi bited for either. • IMPORTANT QCKSTION. —Who finds all the umbrellas that every body loses ? Every man we meet loses the umbrellas he buys, but we have never got acquainted with the man that finds them.

' Ycl, dis is a ting vat I seldom don't like to talk apout, but veil 1 does, it seems to be so long as it never was.' Dispeptics are recommended to take a walk once a week to the top of Black Log, through Grauville (Jap—a certain cure.
