SHIRK Life ia an ever changing accno— A scene with ligbts'aml shades between; And now the light resplendent plays, And then, the shade obscures its rays, And hides in gloom of The picture so serenely bright. Time is an ever flowing stream, On who3o cold waters hope doeß beam Its currents wear, from day to day, Some portions ot our lives away, And as the rugged breakers roll, They leave their mark upon the soul. Life is a cup, whero all may sip With thirsting tongue, and eager lip, Tho nectar in its shining deep, Where hope and pleasure’s semblance keep; And many deem their wants supplied, When they that tempting cup have tried. Time , is a thief who always will With ruthless hand that noctar spill, And lash tho goblet, empty down, And on tho fragments darkly frown ; And stealing on from hour to hour, Robs pleasure of its fleeting power. Hickory Gkuve, Providence Twp., 1857. The Legend of the Starved Rocli. BY" M. W. JANAVItIN Iu the Far West, where broad rolling prairies streteh away for miles iu billowy undulations—where the bold mountainous cliff rises abruptly to the azure sky, crown ed with dark lirs aud cedars—not far from the head waters of uavigation on the Illinois river, and towering up from the bank of the stream, rises “ Starved ltock.” Its walls are of dark grey stone, half veiled with* clambering wild vines and trailing mosses, as some old dilapidated castle, relic o£-feudal times, stands buried in the drapery which long ages have woven about it—aud broken parapets of stunted cedars and firs frowp threateningly upon the daring adventurer who attempts to ascend its precipitous‘steeps. A narrow, almost perpendicular path, on the opposite side of the river, is revealed as youTnake a circuit of the base of the cliff'-, and here, he who would attain the highest elevation of the rock, can ascend. There is a fugitive tale, commemorating the events which gave this wild cliff so strange a name, coming down to us from those early times 'when the red man was sole lord of rock and river and rolling prairie : —a little record of the vengeance > of the Indian race, and again relate, “The Legend of the Starved Rock.” Long years ago, the! brave and noble Indian Chief, Oronee, leader of a powerful tribe inhabiting the region adjoining that upon the Illinois, saw and loved the gentle maiden Ulah, daughter of his rival chief tain. Oronee was young and brave ; at his belt hung the scalps of a hundred of his foes, whom he had slain in battle fray ; his arm was strong, his eye was keen as the eagle’s, and no warrior in the chase could-bring tho fleet deer or the fierce panther so surely as he. Ulah was young and fair, with eyes like the evening star, and dusky looks like the gathering shades of night. Her heart went out to meet the brave Oronee’s, and when he told her that his wigwam was spread with the softest furs, and asked her to share it, saying he would, for her, chase the deer and bring down the strong eagle in his flight—then she turned from her stern father’s lodge and went with the young chieftain. Ke-pow-ra missed his daughter from his lodge. When he came back at night from the toils of the chase, she sprang not forth to meet him ; when he returned from the battle field, or the deadly ambush, exult ing in victory, she came not forth to sing with his braves the war songs of her race. The daughter of a chieftain was in the wigwam of his deadliest foe. He could not brook the insuft; and gathering his hold fleet warriors about him around the council fire, told them the wrong he had suffered, and bade them follow him for revenge. Day after day, night after night, saw them on the trail of_the fleeing enemy, guided surely by the heavens above and the forest wiles beneath. Westward .the stars of night led their footsteps ; and westward the sunbeams, revealing broken shrubs, and trampled leaves and mosses in the tangled wildwood, gave token that they were on the right trail. And westward, too, fled .Oronee and his braves, fleeing for life, and what was dear er than life itself to the young chief, the safety of his beloved; and on the fourth day, the eagle gaze of the fugitives saw the waving plumes of their pursuers in the distance. Before them rose bold and high the huge rook on the brink of the Illinois —behind them came the enraged father, with the fierce warriors ofihis tribe. Upon the wind floated the wild cries of ven geance, and dancing, ever nearer came .those eagle plumes. The pursued chief, with his dusky maiden and a small band: of faithful fol lowers, fled to the rocky fortress—to the tower of strength which rose precipitously in their path. On, on, came the pursuers, with wild shouts and unearthly yells—on, on, and nearer yet, until they had reached the base of the cliff, and then singing a loud war song they rushed swiftly up the narrow steep path. But the young chieftain’s arm was stroDg, and his arrows swift and sure, and his braves resolved to fight to the death ; so, one after another as they had almost gained the summit of the cliff, were pierc 'ed by the unerring' shafts: of the archers above, and fell back lifeless among their, comrades below. And then failing in this attempt, vrith half their band lying bleed ing and dying among them, the. survivors closed in dark serried ranks around the base, and with sullen silence and invinci ble determination, awaited a lingering death of their victims on the gloomy, . sterile fortress above. Day after day the sun rose in the orient, wheeled across the burning heavens slowly to the western horizon, at mid-day, flinging flown scorching beams, and at twilight throwing long, lengthening shadows over wafer, word and rolling prairie, but to those on the high cliff no relief came. Still, the withering sun-beams fell upon them, drying up their very life blood; still those gigantic shadows were hung athwart the back-ground ; yet deeper the appalling darkness of the dusky shadows creeping closer and closer about their hearts. They were starving. And there at the very base of the rock, silent and immoveable as the firs which shrouded them from the fierce sun-rays, sat the implacable chieftain, surrounded by his warriors. Neither love, mercy nor pity ontered his flinty heart. His bitterest foe had stolen his fairest’flower—his only child, the daughter of a race of kings, had left his wigwam for that of an enemy. Vengeance upon them both—the bit terest foe—and the faithless daughter. White, wan, and emaciated, they wan dered about on the beetling brow of the cliff, like ghosts from the far off hunting grounds of their rae£ Strong warriors who had not quailed in direst, deadliest combat, now sunk down like reeds, before the breath of famine. Braves who would have laughed more in derision at the arrows, or the scalping-knSe, now felt a fiercer, keener pang, than poisoned shaft or merciless tomahawk ever inflicted. With the forests all around them, where herds of deer roamed free with the river beneath, where the silent trout glim mered through its water, with flocks of fowls ‘soaring above them, “they were starving 1” The red deer left off browsing in its leafy covert, and came down to drink the waters below—but no morsel ol venison could pass their lips—no drop of that cool water to lave their swollen, parohed tongues. The deer lapped up the crystal liquid of the river—snuffed the cool breeze, and then catching a glimpse iu the water of the dusky figures flitting to and fro on the rock above, tossed their- high antlers and darted away to the green again : the bright waters danced onward beneatli with a wild, mocking freedom, as they bent down their despairingjeyes : and there be low sat those dark, stern warriors, grim and immoveable. Oh, it was horrible. And then Ulah came to the brink of the precipice, and with her long raven hair streaming like the folds of a rent banner upon the wind, bent over and pleaded with agonizing gestures and frantic entreaties to her sire whom she saw far, far below. But never a tone of tenderness, a word of forgiveness, a token of reconciliation, went up from the proud, insulted soul. — He had chosen the Indian’s revenge. Day by day, that doomed baud thinned away, till at length famine alone reigned eonquerer on the summit of the cliff. Day by day they wasted and at last all was still. No ghostly forms wandered freely about—no wailing voice broke the silence. None of that fated band, save one of the besieged warriors escaped, and he descend ing in the shade of night to a shelving projection still far above the river, flung himseif down into the rushing water, where his faithful squaw awaited him iu the light canoe and received him as he rose. Then paddling silently down the stream, and thence to the shore, they darted fleetly into the dark, dense forest, and thus es caped to the tribe to tell the dreadful tale. ’ When all was still and formjs were no more seen moving about on the summit, of the cliff, the avenged chieftain and his band ascended. The Indian’s wrath was appeased—his vengeance had indeed been terrible. There they lay upon the grey rock, those wasted skeleton like warriors, all stark and stiff, and there too the Indian maiden had starved in the arms of her lover—her white face, oh, so fearful to look upon ! —her long streaming hair like her bridal veil and shroud ! And now, it is said, full oft by the pale moonlight are. seen wan, ghostly figures gliding to and fro upon the cliff with dark plumes floating upon the night wind, and ever aild anon, the spectral forms of the Indian maiden, and her dusky warrior-lover stand upon the brink, and in low, wailing voices chant their death-dirge ere they go afar off to dwell together in the Great Spirit’s hunting grounds. And thus runs “ The Legion of Starred Rook !” What Makes Old Maids and Bache lors. —We will paint a picture—one in which the lights aud shades appear strong, perhaps, but which every one will recog nize as not outraging the truth of nature. There are two houses built side by side.— In the one dwells a widow and her daugh ter, fair, light-hearted, the sunshine of her mother’s declining years, but alas ! not rich. With all the affectionate instincts of a woman’s heart, with all the capabilities to create happiness in a man’s house, she remains unseen and unchosen. As time passes on, she gradually deepens into old maidism. ' Where once she was heard singing about the home, like Una making a sunshine in the shady place, her voice is now heard shrill in complaint; parrots and eats accumulate, taking the place of a more human love, and her words are those of sharp reproof and spite against those very instincts of maternity which have been so long the master-spirit of her thoughts. Her affections, after in vain throwing them selves out to seek some sympathetic an swer, turn in with, bitterness upon her own heart, and she remains that most melan choly of all spectators —a nature with as pirations unfilled. In the next house lives a bachelor, young, open-hearted and gen erous. Busied in the struggle of life, he has no time for parties ; he sees little of society, the female portion of it especially; a knowledge of his own brusqueness of manners, at first prevents him from coming in contact with womankind, and this shy ness in time becomes so strong as not to be overcome. It might seem strange, but we are convinced it is the fact that some men are much more afraid of women than women are of men, and fearing “to break the ice” is a fruitful cause of old bache lorism. Gradually age grows upon him, chalk stone gathers upon his knuckles, gout seizes hold of his toes ; served by menials he is a stranger to the soft and careful hand of affection; and he goes to the grave, his death not only unlamented but absolutely rejoiced over by his heir-at-law. A wall of but six inches thick has this time divided these two people. Society does not allow them even a chink, which like Pyramus and Thisbe, they might whisper through, although by nature they might have been formed to make a happy couple instead of two miserable units. KF” Fools learn to live at their own cost, the wise at other men’s. “THAT COUNTRY IS THE HOST PHOSPEBOUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 28, 1857. Robert Emmet and his Love. ’Twas the evening of a lovely day—the last day of the noble and ill-fated Emmet. A young girl stood' at the castle gate and desired admittance into the dungeon. She was closely veiled, and the keeper could not imagine who she was, nor that any one of such proud bearing should be an humble suppliant to the prison door.— however, he granted the boon—led her to the dungeon, opened the massive iron door, then closed it again, and the lovers were alone. He was leaning against the prison wall with a downcast head, and his arms were folded upon his breast. Gently she raised the veil from her face, and Emmet turned to gaze upon all that earth con tained for him—the girl whose sunny brow in the days of boyhood had been his polar star —the maiden who had sometimes made him think the world was all sunshine.— The clanking of the chains sounded like a death knell to her ears and she wept like a child. Emmet said but little, yet he pressed her warmly to his bosom, and their feelings held a silent meeting—such a meeting perchance as is held in heaven only, when we part no more. In a low voice he besought not to forget him when the cold grave received his inanimate body —he spoke of by-gone days—the happy hours of childhood, when his hopes were bright and glorious* and he concluded by requesting her sometimes to visit the places and scenes that were hallowed to his mem ory from the days of his childhood, and though the world might pronounce'his name with scorn and contempt, he prayed she should still cling to him with affection, aud remember him when all others should for get. Hark 1 the Church bell sounded and he remembered the hour of execution The turnkey entered, and after dashing the tears from his eyes, he separated them from their long embrace, and led the lady from the duugeon. At the entrance she turned and their eyes met—they could not say farewell 1 The door swung upon its heavy hinges, and they parted forever. No ! not forever ! is then* not a heaven 1 At sunrise next morning he suffered gloriously; a martyr to his country and to liberty. And ono —o’er her tho myrtle showers, Its leaves by soft winds funned, She fuded ’midst Italian flowers — Tho last of their fair band. ’Twas in the land of Italy ; it was the gorgeous time of sunset iu Italy ; what a magnificent scene ! A pule emaciated girl lay upon the bed of death. Oh !it was hard for her to die far from,her home in this beautiful land, where flowers bloom perennial, and the balmy air comes freshly to the pining soul. Oil! no; her star had set ; the brightness of her dream had fad ed ; her heart was broken. When ties have been formed on earth, close burning ties, “ what is ruore heart-rending and ag onizing to tho spirit, than to find, at last, the beloved one is snatched away, and all our love given to a passing floweret.”— Enough ; she died the betrothed of Robert Emmet; the lovely Sarah Currau. Italy contains her last remains ; its flowers breathe their fragrance over her grave, and the lulling notes of the shepherd’s lute sounds a requiem to her memory. Bringing the Company to Terms. Porter’s Spirit of the Times publishes an excellent story by “ 11. P. L.,” under the caption of “ Bringing a Railroad Com pany to Terms.” The story goes that a railroad train was thrown off the track by running over a cow, on one of the roads leading West; and while the engineers were repairing damages, one of the passen gers, who knew the owner of the cow—an old Dutch woman named Sally Rauchfuss —regaled the company with a story, going to show how the old lady on a previous occasion had a pig killed by the train, and how she brought the company to terms. “ Old Sally Rauchfuss always carries her point by sticking to it, therein differ ing from post office stamps, which my old friend,” nodding to old Comfortable, “says are disreputable because they stick at nothing, and never hold on. Old Sally had, two years ago, a pig which she justly esteemed the prjde of her pen ; so fat that he could hardly see, so fat he could hardly grunt; in fact he was so well taken care of that none of these powers were called into play, or more properly speaking work. His overcare caused his death ; for getting out of the pen one day, he rolled down to the railroad track. The iron horse coming along was unheeded by the pig who thought (perhaps so !) that it would get out of his way—but it did’nt. The lean earth was literally larded at his death, and the iron horse fairly snorted at the pig’s last grunt. “ Old Sally, on learning her loss, raged like a south wester—‘Mine big, oh mine big,’ ‘town init ter railroads !’ was the cry. From morning till night she poured out her sorrow to her neighbors ; she poured out her wrath on the unlucky agent of the road who was stationed at H. ' It’s only a mile or two from where, she lives to this town —we passed it comifig out this morn ing. Well this agent haebthe life bothered out of him by old Sally.' In the midst of the busiest ealoulations regarding the sale of tickets and making change he would see a sun bonnet walking up till it filtfed the little round hole of the office window, and then a voice— « You bays me for mine big ! Yaw ! I not eoes ’vay dill you bays me vor mine big. I shtays yuste strate in disroom dill you bays me.”' “ Now g’way from dare !” shouted the agent. “ Come, good woman, step aside, 1 want to get a ticket,” says a man in a great hurry. She just looked at him indignant ly, never moved and commenced again : “ I eoes ’vay ven you bays me ver mine big. Mine big vot veigh dree hoontret bounds, and vas srnasht to beeces by der stimgine. I vant mine money.” The agent is raving, the man who wants ticket thrusts his hand through the pigeon hole nearly dislocating his elbow as old Sally crowded him to one side. The agent gives the ticket and the wrong change, the man wants to have it rectified, old Sally shouts about ‘mine big !’ and just as the locomo tive comes snorting up to the depot the agent manages to have old Sally drawn to one side, who at once turns the tide of battle from the agent to the locomotive, tender, baggage and passenger cars; and all the inhabitants thereof, stand on the depot platform and ragiDg at one of the engineers in particular shaking her fist at him. “I makes you bay vor mine big !” look ing directly at the man, who drowns her voice with an escape of steam, and looks intensely delighted at her, and says: “Hello, old gal. Hain’t they paid for that pig yet 1 Put it to ’em; they’re as rich as blazes !” And this advice exactly agreeing with Sally’s determination, she at once launches out into a tirade of abuse which is only stopped by the ‘all aboard !’ of the conductor, and the whiz I whoo hoo of the departing train. Day after day old Sally besieged the agent, but he stood his ground until one day came and went, and another, and old Sally failing to appear, great was the agent’s joy, believing that he was delivered from her importunity. One stormy, rainy night, the mail train dashing along at full speed suddenly slackened, stood still. Buzz! whizz!— Round went the driving wheels of the locomotive, but ahead it would not go. It was directly in front of old Sally’s house that this came to pass. “What’s to pay!” sang out the con ductor. The brakemen and engineer, fireman and conductor, had to get out, stirring around in mud up to their knees. “What’s to pay!” “Grease!” sung out the fireman, and all hands, after working with sand and gravel on the rails, found that the wheels at last would take hold, and tearing mad got under way again, hearing, as they started, old Sally erying out at the top of her voice : “You bays me for my big, now, eh!”— What answers were made must remain un repeated. When the conductor of the train reached H , he told the agent that he must pay for that pig, or there would be an old woman charged to the company as a ‘dead loss’ the next time the ears were stopped in that spot. The next day tho agent paid old Sally tho full value of her pig, on oondition that she would never bring the company to terms again by greasing the track. Prom the Richmond Enquirer. Fen and Ink Sketches of Kansas Ter- ritory. Lecompton City, Kansas Ter., ) March 20, 1857. j It may not be uninteresting to many readers of the “Enquirer” to hear of the farm operations and productiveness of the land in Kansas. I am aware that the political intelligence from here is most sought after at this time, but many of the people of the States would like to know something of its capacity for the production of crops, and in general the agricultural resources of the country. I have travelled pretty .thoroughly over some portions of the Territory this Spring, and have had much opportunity for observation, par ticularly in that section ..lying East and North of Kansas river, and will give, what I consider to be, a correct description of that part of the Territory. Perhaps the best way to describe the face of the country will be to give it in the shape of a tour of observation, com mencing at the mouth of Kansas river, and thence up the river to Topeka, (through Lawrence and Lecompton, and the valley of the Wakarasa). Shawnee Mission, as I have stated above, is a few miles south of Kansas river, and within a mile of the Missouri State line. It is a Methodist institution, and has a school for the edu cation of Indian children. Attached to the Mission is a large farm which has been under cultivation for a number of years, and produces annually large crops of corn, wheat, Ac., &c. The face of the country is rolling, mostly prairie, with plenty of timber for all farm purposes, with inex haustible quantities of fine building and limestone. There is also plenty of running water and a great many fine springs. All the streams are narrow, having high and steep banks. This general description answers for all the country along the trav elled routes from the Missouri line to within ten milt 3 of the town of Lawrence. There the land is not quite so much rolling, but sufficiently so to carry off all water, and render the country entirely free from swamps. Take the Territory altogether, it has the finest natural roads of any coun try I have ever seen. Southwest from Lawrence, for fifteen or twenty miles, we have the valley of Wakarasa, one of the most beautiful and fertile in the territory, as also one of the best timbered. Good bituminous coal has been found in numer ous places along the oourse of the river in the hills and bluff's. This valley is well settled; almost every quarter section (160 acres) has a settler on it, and the people are generally intelligent and industrious. The land between Lawrenoe and Topeka is high, rolling prairie, having some of the most enchanting prairie landscapes the eye ever rested upon. On some elevated places, tho eye can sweep over a country of fifteen or twenty miles in extent, dotted with neat houses and skirted with timber. Crossing the Kansas, or Kaw river at Topeka, we enter the Pottowattamie reser vation, thirty miles square. I have ob served that the Indian lands in most parts of the Territory are the finest timbered portions of the country. The Delaware reserve, north of Lawrence, contains ex tensive tracts of heavy timber, principally walnut, oak and hickory. A large portion of these fine timbered lands which I have alluded to, are along the Kansas river. It is confidently expected that the Govern ment will soon make some arrangements for the purchase of these lands, because that is so very essential to the speedy set tlement of the country, that the measure is absolutely demanded. At the mouth of the Kansas, the Wyandot Indians own six square miles of land. Already a large town site has been laid off at the mouth of Kansas river, on the Wyandot tract. It is the only suitable ground for a town site; on the south side, between the Missouri line and the mouth of the Kansas, most of the shores have been taken, ranging in price from §750 to $l5OO, according to location. lam inclined to believe it will be “the city of the Territory.” The Delaware reserve begins on the west line of the Wyandot plantation, but upon the north side of the Kansas, and extending 40 miles up that river and 10 miles wide, and covers all the bottom and timbered lands on the Kansas and its trib utaries, within the limits of this 40 by 10 miles tract. Thirteen miles west of the latter reser vation commences the Pottowatamie lands, 30 miles in length.and 14 in width. Four miles in width of this tract lies on the south ! side of the Kansas, and 10 miles in width jon the North side. Eighty-nine miles up i this river carries you out of Indian Terri | tory ; and all west and north of that point I is Government land, and open for settle j ment. Besides the reservation already men tioned, there is another on the Kansas ’ —BUCHANAN, river, but altogether south of it, which be longs to the Shawnees. This reservation has its eastern boundary about four miles above the mouth of the Kansas, And is 10 miles wide by 40 miles in length along that river. The Kaw Indians also have a small tract commencing Ift Lecompton, on the south side of Kansas river, and extend ing 23 miles up said river, and one mile square, which, it is said, they are ready to dispose of. Having thus briefly sketched the out lines of the Indian reservations in Kansas, and given the reader a correct idea of their whereabouts, as well as what lands are open for claim and settlement, I may now anticipate his inquiries about Fre-emption Rights, which you will find in another communication. Yours, &c., “I’ll do it Well.” —There lives in New England a gentleman who gave the following interesting account of his own i life. He was an apprentice in a tin man- j ufactory. When twenty-one years old he ; lost his health, so that ho was thrown out | upon the world to seek any employment - which he could do. “He said he went j to find employment with the determine- ! tion, that whatever he did he would do it; well.” The first and only thing he could j do, was to black boots and scour knives in j a hotel. This he did and did it well, as j the gentlemen now living would testify.— | Though the business was low and servile, ! he did not lay aside his self-respect, or ; allow himself to be made mean by his business. The respect and confidence of , his employer were soon secured, and he was advanced to a more lucrative and less laborious position. In the course of time he was enabled to begin for himself a business, which he car ries on extensively. He has accumulated an ample fortune, and is training an inter esting family by giving them the best ad vantages for a moral and mental cultiva tion. He now holds an elevated place in the community where he lives. Young men who may chance to read the above statement of facts, should mark the success. The man’s whole character, of whom I have spoken, was formed and di rected by the determination to do whatever he did well. Do the thing you are doing so well that you will be respected in your place, and you may be sure that it may he said “ go up higher.” CARDS. Dr. John.
