.LIFE AND TIME
BY A. 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.

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.”
