But a=few days had elapsed; when the subject of our sketch—a youth of sixteen summers— found himself an orphan, and, in virtue of his seniority, guardian of seven brothers and sisters. Disposing of them in the best way his limited resources would allow, he joined a company of volunteers raised to repel the invasion of the Creeks , and here commenced that military career which on ly closed when the difficultieS of his coun try ceased. We do not propose to 'follow it up. Whoever' is acquainted with the his tory of the Indian Wars—with the bloOdy battles of Burnt Corn and Holy Ground the terrible massacre of Fort Minis—he hazardous expeditious of Claiborne, and the Seminole dampaigns 'of Andrew Jackson —knows enough to appreciate the iron nerve and daring intrepidity of Gen. Dale. We will only notice a few of those remark able adventures with which his life is so replete. His celebrated "Canoe Figjit," in the Alabama river, in which he and two of his company, brained, With clubbed rifles, nine Indian warriors, in fair and open combat; is a kind of household word with our old settlers. Every old crony on the river could relate to you the incidents of this bloody conflict; while her aged partner; whOse head had whitened with the grow ing improvement of the State, would hob ble down to the bank and point , nut the very spot in the bright waters where the two canoes met; and if, perchance, the read er has ever made a trip down the river; on .that elegant boat which bears our hero's name, (Sam Dale,) he has doubtless had designated to him, by the courteous captain, the time-honored old beach which marks the spot, as well as high projecting bank which had previously sheltered the• name-. sake of his boat from the fire of the In dians. Soon after the bloody tragedy of Fort Mims, many of the whites, urged by their defenceless condition, and the increasing hostilities of the Indians, took refuge in Fort Madison. As Gen. Claiborne was prevented from marching to their aid by the hostile movements of the enemy, .about St. Stephens, Capt. Dale and Col. Carson were left in command of the Fort. As soon as wounds, received at Burnt Corn, were sufficiently healed, Dale determined to change his line of conduct from defensive to offensive. With seventy men he pro ceeded-southwestwardly to Brazier's land ing on the Alabama. Here they found two canoes, belonging to a negro named Cesar, who informed them that there were Indians above there on each side of the riv er. He also tendered them the use of his canoes, and proffered to act as pilot. Capt.' Dale immediately placed the canoes in charge of Jeremiah Austil and six men who were ordered to keep them parallel with the party on land.' Arriving at the mouth of Randen's Creek, the canoe party discov ered a boat filled with Indians, who, how ever, immediately paddled to the shore and fled. The land party finding it impossible to continue their route on account of thick cane and vines, were ordered to cross and proceed up on the other side. While they were effecting a passage, Dale and several of his Dien kindled a fire a short distance from the river to prepare their day's meal. Thus engaged they were fired upon by a party of Creeks, from ambuscade. Retreat- Lug to the river, so as to gain the cover of the projecting bank, they discovered a rerge .fiat-bottomed canoe, containing elev en armed and - painted warriors. The.party behind them now retired, leaving Dale to chcgose his own course towards those'in the bolt. ' As both of his canoes were on the opitoste side, Dale ordered the larger one I to be planned. TwO of the warriors now left their boat and swam for shore, but a ball from the unerring rifle of John Smith perforated.the skull 'Of one, who immediately sank; the other 'gained the shore and escaped:Eight men, in the meantime, manned the large canoe and were approaching the Indian boat, but coming near enough to see the number of rifle-muzzles over the edge of the boat, they hastily,paddled back to the shore. Dale exasperated by this cc clear back out,"as he termed it, of his men, shouted to them in a scornful tone, "to look and see three brave men do what eight cowards had shrunk from," and followed by Austill and Sinith, sprung into the smaller canoe, which the faithful Caesar had just =brought over.. Paddling their canoe directly tow ards their enemies, they soon commenced the "canoe fight," proper—so celebrated in Alabama tradition. When within twenty paces of the In dians, our heroes arose in their canoe, to give them an open broadside, but unfortu nately, the priming of their guns was wet, and they failed to fire. Had not.the same accident befallen the enemy, the result of the canoe fight might have been very dif ferent. Dale now ordered Caesar to bring his boat alongside the other, and hold them together. The warriors confident of their strength, sand eager to grapple with three men whose guns would not fire, allowed their boat to move leisurely along with the current. As the two neared each other, the Chief arose, and with an ejaculation of defiance to "Big Sam," levelled his gun at Smith's breastibut before he could draw trig ger, the latter direCted a blow at him which would haVe proved fatal, had it not been adroitly avoided; The canoes dame together with a jar, which threw Austill slightly off his balance, and ere he could regain it, a well directed blow from a war-club, pros trated hum across the boat. Half a dozen powerful arms were raised to complete the work, when the heavy rifle of Dale came down upon the head of the chief, with a force that sunk it deep into the skull.— Smith had not been less active, and. his ' trusty barrel had fallen with effect upon the skull of another warrior, and they now felt their death throes in the bottom of the canoe. Austill had, in the meantime, re- Covered, and added his strength to the work of destruction. The bold Caesar held the boats together with an iron grasp, and with one foot in each, our heroes fought.— Two successive blows from Austin's rifle despatched two of the enemy, one of whom fell-overboard. Thinking to make sure of his foe by a second stroke, Austill leaned forward to strike, when he was again pros trated by an Indian club. The exulting savage, never forgetful of a scalp, raised the warhoop—seized his victim by the' hair —the scalp knife glittered in the air, when another timely blow from -Dale's clubbed rifle divided his skull. , sIA c num we torte of the blow the skull was split even to the verte bral column. In the meantime, Smith, at the other end of the canoe, grappled with two lusty warriors. He was a powerful man; but the chances were now against him. The iron clutches of one of his assail ants are upon his thrOat—the tomahawk of the other above his head ! He sees his danger: one foot in one canoe, one in the other; with desperate effort he gets both feet into one canoe, and draws one Indian after him, while the sudden movement sep arates the ends of the boats and leaves the other behind, to meet the fate of those who had already come within the range of Dale's and Austin's rifles. Smith now had the enemy in' his power, and soon . dispatched him. The conflict now became equal !-- three to three. The savages reduced in number from nine to three, now fought with the energy of despair. Light and ac tive, they avoided many of the blows of the whites, and dealt, in return, such well directed ones, that they were beginning to tell in their favor, when Daley calling to Ucesar to hold the boats firmly together, sprang upon one of the.seats and dealt a blow which shivered a club which had been directed to meet it, and levelled another warrior. The remaining two were left to have destruction meted to them by the hands of the victorious Dale, who, while Smith and Austill leaned upon their bloody and brain scattered rifles despatched them at twd successive blows. During the whole of this sanguinary conflict, the heroes were encouraged by the continued cheers of their comrades on either batik. Of the nine warriors, Smith killed two, Austill two, and Dale five. "Having laid them lo*," says Mr: Packett, "these undaunted Amer icans began to cast them into the bright waters of the Alabama—their native stream now to be their grave. Every time a sav age was raised up from the bottom of the canoe and slung into the water, the Amer icans upon the banks set up shouts loud and long, as some slight revenge for the tragedy of Fort Mims. The Indian canoe presented a sight unusually revolting—sev eral inches deep in savage blood—thicken ed with clods of brains and bunches of hair, &c."—Georgia .illagazine.

"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE tAMOR COMiIANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."-BUCHANAN CITY OF LANCASTER, TUE§DAY MORNING,! JULY is, 1854. I - • ci ALAS! I MARRIED TOO EARLY] !" " Alas! I married too early !" was the exclamation of one of Eve's fairest daugh ters, as she reclined upon a coueliwet with tears. She was but eighteen, though from her care-worn countenance one would have thought her twenty-five. Her name was Lilly Deane, she was of a respectable and wealthy family,n and, like most other fair ones, was early beset by a crowd of admiring suitors. Aniong the most favor ed. of these. was Henry'Deane, a gay young man, rash and impetuous. One by one her admirers, meeting with no encouragement, discontinued their visits and Henry became her only suitor. The courtship had pro ceeded for one year, whet! Harry met a friend .who had lately been married, and we will detail.their .conversation "Well James, so you've been getting mulled." _ . "Yes, and if you would do wisely, do the same." "But am I not too young ?" said Harry. "Look at me," said his friend, "I am your junior by one year, and am a happy man?' • James escorted Henry to his house, which was a perfect model of neatness; Henry's impetuous disposition would not allow him to wait—that very night he bent his steps toward the house of his beloved Lilly and asked her hand. He was accepted, and the marriage fixed to take place in three weeks. Harry went home almost beside himself with joy. "Father," said he, "I am going to get married." Slowly and deliberately the old man rose, and fixing his keen grey eyes on his son, said : _ "You a boy of twenty years, get married? Beware—lhave lived long enough to see many a victim to early marriages. Mark my words, you will repent ere many months have passed over your head." They were married, and Mr. and Mrs. Deane made their entrance into the matri monial world, the honey-Moon passed agree ably, and the young couple settled them selves down in life. Harry had a clerk ship worth 'BOO dollars per annum, which he believed would soon be advanced to $lOOO. He had always before spent his money in fine clothes and fashionable amuse ments, and at the end of the year never had a dollar left; and the foolish fellow had'not bestowed a thought on how he was to bear his increased expenses. The house was fur nished neatly and economically. About two weeks afteithe honey-moon, Lilly said to Harry as he was about going to his bus iness "Harry, I want a couple of new dresses, so you had better leave me a little money." "Lilly," answered he, "if you are going to be so extravagant, you will ruin me; I lost $lO at cards last night and will not be able to give you money till this month is out." "Harry," she answered, "which is the most extravagant, to gamble away in a sin le n ..scruiay une ba.ure amount of money for articles which will last a year?" "Madam, he returned, "I am master of my money, and will not always be tied down at home." Tears came into Lilly's eyes and a qnar. rel ensued, for both were of a quick dispo sition, and Henry left the house in a rage. Scenes like this soon became frequent.— Harry spent most of his money in the sa loons, `while Lilly moped at home. A child was at length born, but this was a new mis fortuue—an increased expense. Lilly, too young to be oppressed with the cares of children, gradually pined away; Harry con tracted a habit of drinking, and the loving couple and their happy home soon became very different. It was indeed a sad change —Lilly died, and Harry, from whose breast every feeling of love had not been extermi nated, soon followed her—he died of re morse and a broken heart. On their grave stone should be inscribed— „ Victims to an Early Marriage.” PUNISHMENT FOR SCOLDING WOMEN.- In England there was formerly a punish ment for scolds and shrews, which consis ted of ducking them in the water. The apparatns used was called the cucking stool or ducking-stool, and was formed by a chair or stool being placed at the end o f a long pole. In this the offending female was placed, and then immersed in sonic , river or pond. This punishment is mentioned in the London. Evening- Post of April, 1745, in the following business-like para graph:— "Last week, a woman that keeps the Queen's Head Ale House, at Kingston, in . Bnrrey, was ordered by the court to be ducked for scolding, and was accordingly placed in a chair, and ducked in the river Thames,. under Kingston bridge, in the presence of two or three thousand peoples." When done under a bridge, the chair was generally held by a pulley fastened to a beam; and the woman thus let down into the water. It was customary to get up these chairs with taste, and to ornament the backs of them with drawings of devils laying hold of scolds,&C. Various records of women adjudged to this punishment are to be found among the proceedings of the courts in England. The church-warden's accounts at Kingston-upon-Thames, for the year 1752, sent in a bill for the expense of making one of these tucking-stools, quite a curiosity in its way. - The cost was 235.. 4d: sterling. This punishment appears to have beeu of remote origin, and was kown under the 1 1 names of tumbrel, tribrich, trebuchet and thew. It doei not seem to have been con fined to England, but was practised in Scotland at a very early day. What ef fect it had upon the "strong-minded wo men" of those times we can hardly now determine, but it appears probable that it was quite effectual. The following lines said to have been written by Benjamin West, of Northamptonshire, England, con tain the only poetical description of the tucking-stool punishment we have evef en countered, though Gray refers to it in one of his pastorals: . .

Besides this , the e ,was another punish inent for scolds, knoini by die _name of "brauks," which consisted of ihead-piele, . enclosing the head d the offender, and of a sharP iron that entered the mouth and restrained the tongue. ,It was fastened on by means of a padlock, andwas literally a bridle on the tongue: The women con demned to - this punishment were compel led to promenade thtongh the town, wear ing the instrument, attended by an officer; and it was not taken off until they, .exhibi ted signs of .humillation and amendment. —Sunday Times., 'LIKING THINGS , EASY.—As an exhibi tion pf the right kind of people for this world, We give placie to the following letter of a woman to her] husband in California.

NECESSITY of THE SABEA.TIL—Dr. Farr, one of the first physicians in this or any other age or country, pledged (before the House of Commons) his professional char extCnsivo research he had been able to make into physical nature had brought him to the conviction, that the Sabbath law is stamp ed no less imperishably in the Decalogue, than it is on the constitution of Man and beast; and that though, of course, no mere physical investigation could determine the precise amount, or the particular times and seasons, much les4 day, of suspension, there was wrought into the fabric and framework of organized life a necessity for periodical suspension even of healthful toil; and that the suspension actually ordained by the Sabbatic law, or its equivalent, could never in the long run be violated without present retribution. Such is the substance of his testimony, as a practical man, to the per manent obligation, of the law of the Sabbath; and well do I remember hbw he enforced it practically on myself, _when I' applied to him some time since for his professional advice. On of his first searching questions was, "Do you keep the Sabbath ," I do not ask you, he said, whether you rest on our Sabbath. You have good reas ons for working then, and I bid you God speed. But do you observe the essential principle of the law ? The answer was not satisfactory, and I came under the doctor's rod. I have heard a confirmation of !this testimony, which is not a little curious. A postmaster, said to be the first in the sister' Island, was known to have long huade 'it a standing.rule thal no hope should leave his stables for work on the Sabbath. Some anti-Sunday transitaria.uo, delighted with the report of-thisj ma,n's constant practice, were desirous of his evidence, as a con cientious observer of the Sabbath. Great however, was their surprise, when they found that the postmaster repudiated all religious feelings, on the 'subject, and gave as his simple reason that he found it es sential to his cattle, that they should have one days rest out of seven, and that he knew his own interest too well to let them be cheated out of it. SUch is the substance of the testimony of two very competent witnesses in botlz cases, as to the phySical necessity of the Sabbath.—London Pcper . , A Cunious INCIDENT.—Mr. Flauddin, , • in his narrative of a residence in Persia, relates a` curious incident which occ l ured when heiwas at Ispahan; The Persian servant of a European , had been stung by a scorpion, and his master wished to apply ammonia, the usual reme dy in such cases, but the onan refused, and ran off to the bazaar. When he returned he said he was cured, and appeared to be so. They Europetin, rather surprised at this almost instantaneous cure, questioned him and found that he had been to a ider vish, who, he raid, after examining the wound and uttering a few words had;sev eral times touched it with a little iron blade. Still mole astonished at the remedy ;than the cure, the European desired to see the 1 instrument by which the latter ,had been effected) At the cost of a small piekech he was allowed to have it for - a few min utes in Ins posseElsion. - After a careful ex aminatkin, finding nothing extraordinary in the instrument, he made up 'his mind that thd cure was a mere trick, and the dervish iwas an impostor; that the scorpion sting had not penetrated, and that his ser vant had been more frightened than lite. He threw the blade contemptuously upon the table, when,' to his ' great surprise, he beheld it attach 'itself firmly to a knife. The- quack's instrument was simply a niag net.
