"DO YOU THINK HE IS MARRIED?"
I=El
Madam !—you are very pressing,
And I can't decline the task;
With the slightest gift of guessing,
You would hardly need to ask!
Don't you see a hint of marriage
In his sober-sided face?
In his rather careless carriage
And extremely rapid pace ?
If he's not committed treason,
Cr some wicked action done,
Can you see the faintest reason
Why a bachelor should run?
Why should hr be in a flurry
But a loving wife to greet,
Is a circumstance to hurry
The most dignified of feet!
When afar the man has spied her,
the grateful, happy elf
Does not haste to be beside her, •
Ile must be beside himself!
It is but u trifle, may be—
But observe his practised tone,
When he calms your stormy baby,
Just as if it wore his own !
Do you think a certain meekness
You have mentioned in hie looks,
Is a chronic optic weakness
That has come of reading books?
Did you ever see his vision
Peering underneath a hood,
Save enough for recognition,
As a civil person should!
Could a capuchin be colder
When he glances, as he must,
At a finely rounded shoulder,
Or a proudly swelling bust
Madam!—think of every feature
Then deny it if you can—
He's a fond, connubial creature,
And a very married man !
THE FORGED PATENT.
The changes which the last twenty years
have wrought in Illinois would be incredi
ble to any one who bad not witnessed them.
At that time the settlements were few, and
the spirit of enterprise which now pervades
every corner of the State, had not awa
kened. The bluff, of the beautiful Illinois
river had never si•ut back the echo of the
steam engine. Without a market for their
produce, the farmers confined their labors
to the wants of their own families. Corn
was nearly the only crop raised, and from
the time it was "laid by," near the end of
June, till "pulling time," in November
was a holiday, and the intervening period
was passed in idleness, except Saturdays.
On that day, duly as it arrived, the settlers
met at the distillery, amused themselves
with shooting at a mark, trading nags, and
too often, when the tin cup passed freely
round, in fighting.
This is by no means a picture of all the
settlements of that early period, but that
it is graphically true of many, none of the
oldest settlers will deny.
One Saturday afternoon, in the year
1819, a young man was seen approaching,
with slow and weary steps, the house, or
rather distillery of 'Squire Crosby, of
Brent's Prairie, an obscure settlement on
the Military Tract. As usual on that day,
a large collection of people were amusing
at Crosby's, who owned the distillry in
that region, and, being a magistrate, was
regarded by the settlers as rich, and con
sequently a great man.
The youth, who now came up to the
groupe, was apparently about twenty-one
years of age, and of slender form, fair and
delicate complexion, with the air of one
accustomed to good society, and it was
evident at a glance that he was not inured
to the hardships of frontier life, nor labor
of any kind. But his dress bore a strange
contrast with his appearance and manners.
He wore a hunting coat of the coarsest
linsey woolsey, a common straw hat, and
a pair of doeskin moccasins. A large pack
completed his equipment.
Every one gazed with curiosity upon the
new corner. In their eagerness to learn
who he was, whence be came, and what his
business was, the horse-swap was left un
finished, the rifle laid aside, and even the
busy tin cup had a temporary respite.
The young man .approached Squire
Crosby, whom even a stranger could dis
tinguish as the principal person among
them, and anxiously inquired for a house
where he could. be accommodated, saying
he was extremely ill, and felt all the symp
toms of an approaching fever.
Crosby eyed him closely and suspici
ously for a moment, without uttering a
word. Knaves and swindlers had recently
been abroad, and the language of the
youth betrayed that he was a "Yankee,"
a name at that time associated in the minds
of the ignorant with every thing that is
base. Mistaking the silence of Crosby for
a fear of his inability to pay, the stranger
smiled, and said, "I am not without
money," and puttiug his hand to his pocket
to give ocular proof of his assertion, he
was horror-struck to find that his pocket
book was gone. It contained every cent
of his money, besides papers of great value.
Without a farthing, without even a
paper or letter to attest that his character
was honorable, in a strange land, and sick
ness fast coming upon him, these thoughts
nearly drove him to despair. The Squire,
wher prided himself on his sagacity in de
tecting villains, now found then use of his
tongue. With a loud and sneering voice
he said :
4 Stranger, you are barking up the wrong
tree, if you think to catch me with that are
Yankee trick o' yourn.'
He proceeded in this inhuman strain,
seconded by nearly every one present, for
the Squire was powerful, and few dared to
displease him. The youth felt keenly his
desolate condition, mad, casting his eyes
around the groupe, in a tone of deep anx
iety, inquired :
Is there none here who will receive
me 1'
Yes, I will,' cried a man among the
crowd, 'yes, poor, sick stranger, I will
shelter . you' Then in a lower tone he
added, know not whether you are de
serving, but I do know that you are a fel
low being, and in sickness and in want;
and for the sake of Him who died for the
guilty, if not for your own sake, will I be
kind to you, poor young stranger.'
The man who stepped forth and proffered
a home to the youth, in the hour of suffer
ing, was Simon Davis, an elderly man,
who resided near Crosby, and the latter
was his deadly enemy. Uncle Simon, as
he was called, never retaliated, and bore
many persecutions of his vindictive neigh
bor without complaint. His family con
sisted of himself and daughter, his only
child, an affectionate girl of seventeen.
The youth heard the offer of Mr. Davis,
and heard no more, for overcome by his
feelings and extreme illness, be sank in
sensible. He was conveyed to the house
of his benefactor, and a physician called.
Long was the struggle between life and
death. Though unconscious he called upon
his mother and sister almost constantly,
to aid him. When the youth was laid
upon her bed, and she heard hint calling
for his sister, Lucy Davis wept, and said to
him, 4 Poor young man,your sister is lar
distant, but l will be to you a sister.'--
Well did this dark-eyed maiden keep her
promise. Day and night she watched over
him, except during short intervals when
she yielded her post at his side to her
father.
At length the crisis of the disorder ar
rived—the day that was to decide the
question of life or death. Lucy bent over
him with intense anxiety, watching every
expression of his features, hardly daring to
breathe, so fearful was she of awakening
him from the only sound sleep he had en
joyed for nine long days and nights. At
length he awoke and gazed into the face
of Lucy Davis, and faintly inquired,
Where am I r There wa• intelligence
in that look. Youth and a good constitu
tion had obtained the mastery. Lucy felt
that he was spared, and bursting into a
flood of tears, rushed from the room.
It was two weeks before he could sit up
even for a ohort time. He had already
acquainted them with his name and resi
dence, but they had no curiosity to learn
anything further, and forbade him giving
his story until he became stronger. His
name was Charles Wilson, and his pater
nal home Boston.
A few days afterwards, when Mr. Davis
was absent from home, and Lucy engaged
about her household affairs, Wilson saw
close beside his head his pack, and recol
lecting something that he wanted, opened
it. The first thing he saw was the identi
cal pocket book, whose loss had excited so
many regrets. He recollected having pla
ced it there the morning before he reach
ed Brent's Prairie, but in the confusion of
the moment the circumstance was forgot
ten. He examined it and found everything
as he bad left it.
The discovery nearly restored him to
health, but he resolved at present to con
fine the secret to his own bosom. It was
gratifying to him to witness the entire con
fidence they reposed in the honor and
integrity of a stranger, and the pleasure
with which they bestowed favors upon one
whom they supposed could make no return
but thanks.
Night came, and Mr. Davis did not re-
turn. Lucy passed a sleepless night. In
the morning she watched hour after hour
for his coming, and when sunset approach
ed he was still absent ; terrified at his long
and unusual stay, she was setting out to
procure a neighbor to go in search of him,
when her parent came in sight. She ran
to meet hid), and was bestowing upon him
a thousand endearing expressions of affec
tion, when his haggard, wo-begone counte
nance startled her.
He uttered not a word, and went into
his house and seated himself in silence.—
t was in vain that she attempted to cheer
him. After a long pause, during which
there was a powerful struggle going on in
his feelings, he rose and taking his daugh
ter by the hand, led her into the room
where 11 illiam was seated.
You must know all,' he said. ' I am
ruined, lam a beggar.' In a few days I
must quit this house ; the farm that I have
improved, and call my own.' He proceed
ed to state that a few days before, Crosby
in a fit of ungovernable malice, ealled him
a beggar, and told him he was now in his
power, and he would crush him under his
feet. When Mr. Davis smiled at what he
regarded as only an impotent threat, Cros
by, to convince him, told him that the
patent to his farm was a forged one, and
that he, Crosby, knew the real owner of the
land ' • had written to purchase it, and ex
pected a deed in a few days. Davis imme
diately went home for his patent, and
during his long absence had visited the
land office. Crosby was right. The patent
beyond all dispute was a forged one, and
the claim of Davis to the farm was not
worth a farthing.
It may be proper to add that counter
feiting soldiers' patents was a regular busi
ness practiced in some of the eastern cities,
and hundreds have been duped. It is not •
for myself,' said the old man, that I
grieve at this misfortune. lam advanced
in life, and it matters not how or where I
pass the remainder of my existence. I have
a little home beyond the stars, where your
mother has gone before me, and where I
would have loved to protect her child, my
own affectionate Lucy.' The weeping girl
threw her arms around the neck of her
father,and poured her tears upon his bosom.
We can be happy still,' for lam young,
and can easily support us both.'
A new scene followed in which another
individual was a prominent actor. I shall
leave the reader to form his own opinion of
it, and barely remark that at the close, the
old man took the hands of Lucy and young
Wilson, and joining them, said : my chil
dren, I cheerfully consent to your union.
Though poor, with a good consience you
can be happy. I know, Charles you will
be kind to my daughter, for a few nights
ago, when you thought no earthly ear could
bear you, I heard you fervently implore
the blessings of Heaven upon my gray
hairs, and that God would reward my child
for all her kindness to you. Taking down
his family Bible, the old man added, It is
a season of affliction, but we are not forsa
ken. Let us look for support to Him who
has promised to sustain us.' He then
opened the book and read :
Although the fig-tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be on the vines, the
labors of the olive shall fail, and the fields
yield no meat ; the flocks shall be cut off
from the fold, and there shall be no herd
in the stall, yet will I joy in the God of
• my salvation.'
Charles and Lucy knelt beside the ven
erable old man, and while he prayed they
wept tears of grateful emotion. It was a
sleepless but not unhappy night to the
three inhabitants of the neat, cheerful
dwelling they were about to leave, and go
they knew not where.
"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1858.
It was then that young Wilson learned
the real value of money. By means of it
he could give shelter to those who had
kindly received him when every other door
was closed upon him.
All night long be had thought of the
forged patent. There were a few words
dropped by Mr. Davis which he could not
dismiss from his mind ; that Crosby had
written to the real owner of the land, and
had now obtained the promise of the deed.
It is now time for the reader to become
fully acquainted with the history of the
young stranger.
His father, Charles Wilson, senior, was
a merchant in Boston who had acquired
an immense fortune. At the close of the
war, when the soldiers received from the
government their bounty of 160 acres of
land, many of them offered their patents to
Mr. Wilson for sale. Finding that they
were resolved to sell them, he resolved to
save them from the sacrifice of their hard
earnings, and he purchased at a fair price
all that was offered. In three years no
small portion of the Military Tract came
into his possession.
On the day Charles became of age, he
gave him a deed of the principal part of
this land in Illinois, and insisted that be
should go out and see it, and if he liked
the country settle there. Wishing him
to become identified with the people, he
recommended his son to lay aside his broad
cloth, and dress like a back-woodsman.
In compliance with this suggestion, the
young man had assumed a rude and rustic
dress so inappropriate to his appearance and
manners as to excite some suspicion that
he had mottoes for concealing his real
character.
On the morning of his son's departure,
Mr. Wilson received a letter from a man
in Illinois who had frequently written. He
wished to purchase a certain quarter sec
tion at government price which Mr. Wilson
promised he should have on these terms,
provided he forwarded a certificate from
the judge of the circuit court that the
land was worth no more. The letter just
received inclosed the certificate in question.
Mr. Wilson had given this tract to Charles,
and putting the letter and certificate into
his hand, enjoined upon him to deed it to
the writer, according to promise, upon his
arrival in Illinois.
The remarks of Mr. Davis forcibly
reminded young Wilson of this incident,
and on the next morning after he became
acquainted with the plan of Crosby, with a
trembling hand he examined the letter
and certificate. It was written by Crosby,
and the land he wished to purchase, the
identical farm of Davis.
Astonished that his friend the judge
should certify that the land was worth no
more, Mr. Davis asked to see the certifi
cate ; and afi er a moment's examination,
unhesitatingly pronounced its signature a
forgery.
An explanation from the young man
became necessary, and calling Lucy into
the room,he told his story, and laid before
them a pile of patents and bank notes, one
after another, till the sum reached
thousands. It was a day of thankful
happiness to Simon Davis and his daughter,
and not less so to young Wilson.
Not long after this scene, Crosby
entered.
His air was that df a man who has an
enemy in his power, and intends to trample
upon him. He scarcely noticed young
Wilson except with a look of contempt.
After pouring out all his maledictions upon
the family, the old man inquired if he
would give nothing for improvments made.
The answer was, Not a cent.'
You certainly would not,' said Wilson,
drive out this man and his' daughter
penniless into the world ?'
What's that to you ?-' replied Crosby,
with a look of malice and contempt.
will answer that question,' said
Wilson, and he acquainted him with what
the reader has already learned.
Crosby was at first petrified with
astonishment, but when he saw that all
his schemes of villainy were defeated, and
proof of his having committed a foreery
could be established, his assurance forsook
him, and he threw himself upon his knees,
and begged first the old man, then Lucy
and Wilson, to spare him.
Much as they pitied, it was impossible
for them not to despise the meaness of this
application.
Wilson told him that he deserved no
mercy. That a moment since he would
have driven the family of Davis from their
home without even the means of a tempor
ary support. He would pay Crosby a fair
price for his property and forbear prosecut
-1 ing him, on condition of his instantly
quitting the country.
' Crosby accepted the offer. The writings
were made out that day, and befor morn
• ing he and his family were on their way to
Texas.
Why should I spin out the narrative
Lucy and Charles were married, and
though a splendid mansion soon rose upon
the farm of Mr. Davis, both love far better
the little room where she had so anxiously
watched over the sick bed of the houseless
stranger. Mr. Wilson was rich, but never
forgot those who were in want.
Cheered by the kind and affectionate
attentions of his children, old Simon Davis
almost seemed to have renewed his
existance.
He lived many years, and long enough
to tell the bright-eyed son of Charles and
Lucy the story of the forged deed. And
when he told the listening boy how his
father when poor and friendless, was taken
home and kindly treated, and in turn
became their benefactor, he impressed
upon the mind of his grandchild that even
a cup of cold water given from a good
motive, shall not lose its reward.
POLITE TO ALL PERSONS.
4, You cannot judge a man by the coat ho wears."
Halloa, Limpy, the cars will start in
a minute ; hurry up, or we shall have to
leave you behind !'
The cars were waiting at the station of
one of our western railroads. The engine
was puffing and blowing. The baggage
master was busy with baggage and checks.
The men were hurrying to and fro with
chests and valises, packages and trunks.
Men, women and children were rushing
for the cars and hastily securing seats,
while the locomotive snorted, and puffed,
and blowed.
A man carelessly dressed was standing
on the platform of the depot. He was
looking around him, and seemingly paid
little attention to what was passing. It
was easy to see that he was lame. At a
hasty glance one might easily have sup
posed that he was a matt of neither wealth
nor influence. The conductor of the train
gave him a contemptuous look,and slapping
him familiarly on the shoulder, he called
out:
Limpy, better get• aboard or
the cars will leave you !'
4 Time enough,' I reckon,' replied the
individual so roughly addressed, and he
retained his seemingly listless position.
The last trunk was tumbled into the
baggage car. All aboard !' cried the
conductor. Get on, Limpy,' said he, as
he passed the lame, carelessly dressed
man.
The lame man made no reply.
Just as the train was slowly moving
away, the lame man stepped on the plat
form of the last car, and walking in quietly
took a seat.
The train had moved on a few miles
when the conductor appeared at the door
of the car where our friend was sitting.—
Passing along he soon discovered the
stranger whom he had seen at the station.
Hand out your money here!'
c I don't pay,' replied the lame man,
very quietly.
c Don't pay V
4 No, sir 1 ,
4 We'll see about that. I shall put you
out at the next station !' and he seized the
valise which was on the rack over the
head of our friend.
Better not be so rough, young man,'
returned the stranger.
The conductor released the carpet-bag
for a moment; and seeing he could do no
more then, he passed on to collect the fare
from other passenger.;. As he stopped at
a seat a few paces off, a gentleman who had
heard the conversation just mentioned,
looked up at the conductor, and asked
him—
Do you know to whom you were speak
ing just now ?'
No, sir.'
That was Peter Warburton, the Presi
dent of the road.'
Are you sure of that, sir ?' replied
the conductor, trying to conceal his agita
tion.
I know him.'
The color rose a little in the young man's
face, but with a strong effort he controlled
himself, and went on collecting his fare as
usual.
Meanwhile Mr. Warburton sat quietly
in his seat—none of those who were near
him could unravel the expression of his
face, nor tell what would be the next
movement in the scene. And he—of what
thought he ? He had been rudely treated ;
he had been unkindly taunted with the in
firmity .which had come perhaps through
no fault of his. He could revenge him
self if be chose. He could tell the di
rectors the simple truth, and the young
man would be deprived of his place at
once. Should he do it ?
And yet, why should he care ? lie
knew what he was worth. He knew how
he had risen by his own exertions to the
position he now held. When a little
orange-peddler, he had many a rebuff.—
He had outlived those days of hardness;
he was respected now. Should he care
for a stranger's roughness or taunt ?
Those who sat near him waited curiously
to see the end.
Presently the conductor came back.—
With a steady energy he walked up to Mr.
Warburton's side. He took his books
from his pocket, the bank bills, and the
tickets which he had collected, and laid
them in Mr. Warburton's hand.
-^% 6 I A resign my place, sir,' he said.
The President looked over the accounts
a moment, then motioning to the vacant
seat at his side, said—
, Sit down, sir, I would like to talk with
you.'
As the young man sat down, the Presi
dent turned to him with a face in which
there was no angry feeling, and spoke to
him in an under tone :
My young friend, I have no revengeful
feelings to gratify in this matter; but you
have been very imprudent. Your manner
had it been thus to a stranger, would have
been very injurious to the interests of the
company. 1 might tell them of this, but
I will not. By doing so I should throw
you out of your situation, and you might
find it difficult to find another. But in
future, remember to be polite to all whom
you meet. You cannot judge of a man by
the coat he wears; and even the poorest
should be treated with civility. Take up
your books, sir. I shall tell no one of
what has passed. If you change your
course, nothing which has happened to-day
shall injure you. Your situation is still
continued. Good morning, sir !'
The train of cars swept on, as many a
train had done before ; but within it a les
son had been given and learned, and the
purport of the lesson ran somewhat thus
DON'T JUDGE FROM APPEARANCES.
A. THRILLING ADVEN'TIIRE
We question whether, in the history of
"hair breadth" escapes, a parallel to the
following can easily be found. The story
was related by an old and valued friend,
now residing in the country, but whose
early days were spent near the tragic ad
venture here recorded. We give the story,
as it was related, in the words of our hero:
It was about the year 1805 that I set
tled in Virginia, near the falls of Kanawa.
The country at that time was an unbroken
wilderness. But few settlements had been
made by the whites then, and they were
so far apart as to render vain all hope of
assistance in case of an attack from hostile
Indians—numbers of 'whom still infested
the neighborhood.
I lived there alone with my wife for
several months unmolested, and, by dint
of perseverance—being then young and
hearty—had succeeded in making quite a
large clearing in the forest, which I
planted with corn, and which promised an
abundant yield.
One morning after we had dispatched
our humble meal, and I had just prepared
to venture forth upon my regular routine
of labor, my attention was arrested by the
tinkling of a cow bell in a corn field.
There,' said my wife, 'the cow is in the
corn field.'
But the ear of the backwoodsman be
comes, by education, very acute, especially
so from the fact that his safety depends
upon the nice cultivation of that sense. I
was not so easily deceived. I listened—
the sound was repeated.
That,' said I, in reply to the remark of
my wife, 'was not the tinkle of a bell upon
the neck of a cow. It is a decoy from some
Indian who desires to draw me into am
bush.'
Believing this to be the case I took
down my old musket, (I had no rifle,) and

movement of the, forward Indian changed
the position of the entire six, so that a
portion of the left side of each was
uncovered. They wore in a range—one aim
would cover all. Quick as thought I
aimed and fired. As the smoke cleared
away I could hardly credit what my senses
showed me as the result of my shot. The
fifteen slugs with which I had loaded my
musket had done their work—five of the
six Indians lay dead upon the gound, and
the sixth had disappeared.
Although no enemy was now in sight I
did not venture forth until morning. There
lay the bodies of five Indians undisturbed,
together with the rifle of the other. Se
curing the arms and ammunition of the fal
len Indians,l followed the trail of the miss
ing one until it reached the river, beyond
which point I could discover no trace
whatever. From the amount of blood
which marked the trail, together with the
unmistakeable evidences that he had pick
ed his way with difficulty, I was led to
believe that he was mortally wounded, and
in order to prevent his body from falling
into the hands of his white foe, he had
groped his way to the river and thrown
himself into the current, which had borne
him away.
The Indians had killed my cow, and
that you may be assured was no trifling loss,
yet, in my gratitude for my escape from
the merciless savages, I would have been
entirely willing to have made greater sac
rifices. I was well provided—by means
of arms and ammunition taken from the
six Indians—in case of a s3cond attack ;
but this, fortunately, proved to be my last
adventure with:the savages. Not one of the
band had escaped to tell the tale and
incite his brethren to avenge the death of
his other comrades.
Ah !' exclaimeu the old man, while the
tears gushed from his eyes at the memory
of that eventful night, that was a glorious
shot; the best I ever made.'
The hero of this adventure lived to see
the rude wilderness, where he had pitched
his lonely cabin, transformed into smiling
fields and peopled by hardy and enterpris
ing pale faces, among whom his last days
were passed in peace and plenty, undis
turbed by the presence of his old foes.
