VeW have visited the flourishing town of New
Baintree,hlaesachusetts without becomingsacquain.
ted with Abe beautiful ao l romantic vicinity of black
pond.
Shortly after the experation of the French and In
dian War, a hardy settler named Warner, built his
little Cot by the pond, on the bank of the beautiful
Ware river. On the morning when the defenders
of Fort Edward sailed forth under,theCommand of
Colonel Williams to meet the advancing enemy
led by Baron Dieskan when the former suffered
death, Warner, then a private, was one of the last
to seek the retaining shelter of the Fort and distin
guished himself ti short distance from tot watte -by
a long and obstinate with a gigantic chief of
. the
Oneida tribe, whom he killed, and according to the
rude fashion of the day, bore his scalp in' triumph
to tamp. During the war by his courage and
ability he won then the envied honor and title of
captain. -
One morning, a few years afterwards, he sur
prised his wife by his speedy return from the forest
where he had intended to remain during the day.
He entered the bens without speaking and hastily
seized his rifle. She noticed the firm step the un
wonted flashing of his eyes and stern compression
of his lips.
"Husband," she said with an anxious look, what
has occurred to move you thus 1 1
"Moved," he replied, "do I really appear mo
ved 1 yet it may be so, bin not with tear, tear
cannot move me."
" Fear !" she exclaimed with alarm, "have
you been in danger Speak, oh, I entreat
you."
He. smiled, and that smile served partially to
dissipate her apprehension : white she shrunk back
almost ashamed at vehemence of her most anguish
ed alarm.
" Do not agitate yourself my dear wife," he re•
plied, you see I am now sale and with you, but do
brinr, me my box of flints and that quickly, for I
require one that will not miss fire.
When she returned with the box, he after a ann.
ate selection, affiied one to the hammer of hiari•
fle a and hecarettilly cleaned the vent hole and re•
loaded it.
a Now," he said as his eyes Jd rapidly
along the barrel of his piece, " I at,. :ow about
ready." r „
His wile, who had noticed all these precautions,
said in a calm but sad tonel fear you.will deceive
me."
' I haie kept aught from Yost,' he said, "it was
affection that prompted the act ; but now you shall
know all. A week since I learned that an Indian,
hid been lurking in our neighborhood From in•
quit ies he made of the neighbors, I found that .1
was the object of his search. This morning I un
expectedly saw him. He retreated hastily, but turn
ed for a moment with a look of deadly hatied and
defiance. I understood its language—the looks o f
an Indian are more expressive than his words—it
plainly said your life or mine."
"Oh my husband you sure will not go forth to
meet this dreadful savage—it would be unutterable
madness. Why cannot you fly from this honitle
place, and thus elude him."
" Fly— ah, it cannot be poor trembler. By hea
vens it shall never be said I 'fled from a single In•
dian ; besides I know this blood thirsty savage ;it
is Black Wolf, the celebrated chief of the Oneidas,
find the brother of him 1 slew at Fon Edwards.—
In revenge fOil his brother's death he seeks my
life."
"Then for my sake," said the afflicted wife and
for the sake of the Rips innocent—she pointed to
the cradle which contained a prattling infant of two
summers—do not go alone."
i. It must be he replied firmly, though ap
parently moved by her affectionate arpeal—" my
safety depends upon it. As a savage, 1 must meet
him as such and defeat him as such, and that in his
own barbarous-.manner. Remember you are the
wife of a soldier, be firm, or at least," he said,
with an emotion he could not control," do not man
me. "If I fall"—he hesitated for a moment, then
Suddenly caught his child, kissed him again and
again, pressed a burning kiss on, the cold brow of
his wife', hastily embraced her and rushed from the
house.
Ho had not been absent an bent before he dis.
covered the Wilzig place of the Indian —The wa
ry eye of the sat : age was too busy not tone al soon
as he was seen.
Then commenced these fearful movements by
which the sons of the forest strive to induce their
foes to leave some portion of the body exposed to
their deadly rifles.
The chief, though the most renowned of his tribe
found the captain in every respect his equal, and
after lid( an hour of intense labor and suspense,
neither: bad gained advantage.
The Indian, at this moment, saw Warner leap
from his lurking place and disappear behind -the
trunk of a large fallen tree. What was now to be
done he knew not—he was too wary not to appre
hend some stratagem by Warner ; he, therefore,.
neither advanced nor retreated, but kept behind a
gigantic oak. At length to hie great joy he discov
ered the hat of his enemy slightly emerging above
the, body of the tree and, quickly disappear. The
Indian smiled with savage aught as be muttered,
It ihe paleface is a great warriors, but afoot." The
son of the forest would not lie ~when he could stand
he would not expose his head 'and his feet at the
same time.

ILESARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FRO ANT
The report of hie rifle resounded through the forest,
and the Black Wolf lay writhing among the fallen
leaves.
Tt e captain was not the tool the Indian had sup
posed him. Feeling that neither bad gained any
advantage, and being desirous of briging the corn.

stratagem, which, if successful would give him a

threw himself behind a tree, and slightly elevated

wards fit.ed at with the result we have already stnr
ed above.
Warner looked upon his dead toe with the stern
oy which warriors feel.
" You have been a great chief, but a cruel war
rior," he soliloquised, yet your weapons have been
used with courage and skill ; you shall not be de
prived of them even in death.
With cords he affixed the rifle, that had proved
fatal to so many to the cctICI hand, placed the torn

Warner, though a eonquerer, returned with ittid

Thrilling Sketch.
, In the month of October, /824, my vessel was
lying in Mobile. I went ashore one bright morn
ing, to do some business with the house to which
I was consigned, and as I passed along the Street,
it occurred to me that I might as well have a beard
of a week's growth reaepd, before I presented
myself at the counting•room. I stepped into a bar
ber shop, and told the barber to proceed.
He was a bright mulatto, a good looking young
fellow, not more than two and twenty years of age,
it appeared. His eyes were large, black and unn•
dually lustrous. His-manner at first was quiet and
respectful. I thought he was a lor.g while lather
ing my face, and I told him he must have bought
his soap at the wholesale price. Laughing, he re
plied; that mine was a long beard, and he knew
what he was about.
Are you boss here, my man I" I asked.
"Yee," he answered, g' my master set me up,
and I pay him twenty dollars a month for my
time.
That's a good interest on the capital invested,"
I remarked ; "can you pay your rent and live on
the balance of your savings'!"
" 0; yes! and lay up something besides. Some
times I receive thirty bits a def."
" Then I suppose you will buy your freedom one
of these days ?"
"As for that," he replied, " I care but little.-,
I have all the liberty I want and enjoy myself as I
go along."
By this time he had laid down his brash and
commenced running his razor over the strop, look
ing at the blade every tinie he drew it across the
leather. His hand trembled a little, and his eyes
absolutely burned like fire. I did not feel creasy,
but I could not avoid watching him closely.
At last he commenced shaving me. My head
being thrown back, I was able to keep my eyes
fixed directly op his own. Why I did Aro, eaartet
tell; certainly I apprehended nothing, but I did not
remove my gaze for a single instant while the ra.
zor was passing over my neck and throat. He
seemed to grow more and more uneasy; his eyes
were as bright, but wee steady as when I first ob
served them. lie could not meet my used and
deliberate look. As he commenced shavin,6; my
chin, he said abruptly—
" Barber's handleia deadly weapon, sir."
"True enough, my man," I replied, " but you
handle yours skilfully, although I noticed your,
hands shake a little."
"That's nothing sir—l can shave just as well.—
My hand shakes because I did not have much sleep
last night. But I was thinking just now," he added
with a laugh, hoW easy it would be for me to cut
your throah
ig Very likely," I replied laughing in return, but
looking sternly at him—" very likely, yet I would
not advise you to try the eipgiment."
Nothing more was said. e soon gniebetl, and
arose from the chair just as an elderly gentleman
was entering the shot,.
I went to the glass, which did not reflect the
chair to arrange my collar. Certainly I had not
stood before it a single moment, when I heard
something like a suppresied shriek, a gurgling, hor
rible sound, that made my blood run cold. I turn
ed—there sat, the unfortunate gentleman, covered
with blood, his throat cut from ear to ear, and the
barber a ravines maniac dashed his razor with tre-
mendous violence i'nto , the mangle! neck., On the
instant the Man's eye caught mine, the razordropp
ed from his hand, and he fell down in a fit. I
rushed towards the door and called for assistance
The unfortunate man was dead before we reach
ed the cßair.
We secured the barber, who, as I suteequently
learned, had been drinking deeply the night before,
and was laboring under mania Mu. His fate I
never heard.

Egyptology aDd Chronology. t
. ,
The modern researches into the, antiquities of
Egypt promise to do rim Ara eadrhistory-and chro
nology of man what (ate geological researchers have
done f the history oldie world anterior to maPs
existenee.. Tliti - indintry of modtrts geologists has
disclosed ummistakeable ankincontrovertible evi
dences of the existence of thj% globe
. for , ages and
ages anterior to the opeearance of man, and in s deed
anterior to the living species of animals. It disclo
ses a long period . in'",ihtr phyeica), historl of this
werl,d, &tiring which the earth underwent a variety
of changes, and apeciesafter species of animals and
Vegetables appeared and became extinct, and were
succeededby other and neW,species, which in a
like manner have disappeared—all long prior to the
epoch of man.
.Although the scieiweot geology is
still in its inlan'ty, yet these genera} feels have been
established beyond all controversy. The time has
been when the enunciation , of what are now Is.
miller and indisputable truths, relative,te the crea
tion and origin of the earth, would have . exposed
one to at least a life in the cell of a dungeon. In
deed, quite recently, when these facts were first
made known, they were thong,tit to contradict tins
Bible, and to be subversive to the Christian reli
gion.
Now the researches into the antiquities of Egypt
for the last tew years, have been opening upon the
world a Belies of facts which are tdirectly in the
teeth of the ordinarily received notions respecting
the length of time the,human race has dwelt upon
the earth, and which contradicts point blaph what
is called the Biblical or Mosaic Chronology, that is ,
the chronology generally used by Christian nations.
But it must be remembered that the chronology
of the Jews is no part of the inspired element of the
Scripture. The dates which we observe upon the
margin of the Bibles, are not revealed nor can they
be determined in any manner from the text itself .
Besides, what,is not so generally understood, there
are three versions of the Mosaic chionology;all pro
lessing to be genuine, and all advocated by ant hori-
ee bighly;argloclor, tckwit: the Hebrew, Samari
tan and Septuagint. Yet these differ from
,each
other by some thousand years. The discrepancy
between the Hebrew and Septuagint, the two most
popular of the three, in reckoning from Adam to
Abraham, is nearly 1400 years ; and from the del
uge to the latter patriarch, nearly 800. Like varia
tions between them aro observable respecting later
periods.
The Hebrew chronology has generally been, held
to be the ttue.chrnnolo6 by the protestant church
es ; though dime, the Septuagint has greatly rise
in favor. Now, it is obvious that systems differing
from each other by some one or two thousantlyears )
cannot all be right; though the tact of this differ•
ence may raise a strong presumption that they are
ail wrt,3pg.
Most assuredly, then, it would be no less a ser
vice to the cause of religion than to that of history,
if the comn on error could be corrected by authen.
tic monuments, whether those monuments were
found upon the health of the Jordan, or in the val.
leys of the Euphrates and the Nile.
The discovery of monuments that are calculated
to correct the obvious errors at present existing in
the early chronology of the world, and to throw
light upon the early history of man, will be wel
corned with lively satisfaction' itY every lover of
truth and science, and inquirer after sincere know:-
edge.
No sane awl intelligent thristian Will r.tterept to
stifle the enquiries.
A more fatal blow \ to the real interests of religion
could scarcely be given , than the establishment by
incontrovertible evidence of facts which were de.
Glared by Christians to be incompatible with the
lorftlameatal articles of their faith.
Egyptology is in its infancy; '
.yet ht. rgsults .have
already 'demonstrated that the duration of the Egyp•
thin empire, from Menes down to the conquest of
Egypt by Darin? °chi's, B. C. 340, was at least 3,.
300 years—making the epoch of Menes, its found
er, at the most moderate calculation 3,640 B. C.—
During all this period civilization and the arts flour
ished in Egypt—the latter for the most of the time
in a high state of cultivation.
Now it is.obviOus that the Egyptian people must
have existed for a long period in their early less
settled state, prior to reaching that point of civiliza
tion at which they could be consolidated into a
great, united empire. It has been thought that five
centuries would be a moderate allowance foil this
period of Egyptian developemenl, which places the
origin of the Egyptian people as a distinct nation
upwards of 4,000 years before the Christian era.
This general result is but an earnest of what
Egyptology has in store for us. Tt remains for fu.
tnre researches to fill, up and complete what has
been so hopefully began. ,The prdinary chronolo.
gy affords es no certainty beyond the epochs of Mo-
BeB nud the Exodus. But Moses flourished and
the Exodus took place at a comparatively modern
period in the
. history of the Egyptian empire:—
when hat empire had already attained the highest
point ol its civilization and power.
We will only advert, in conclusion, to that re.
markable characteristic of Egyptian genius, which
is also visible in certain other nations—the disposi
tion, alter n certain advance in culture, to stop short
and remain stationary. the cause of thieethnolOgi
cal phenomenon would be a fruitful source of specu
lation. It may ? perhaps, be owing in some instan
ces, in a Measure, to a jealous exclusion of foreign
influences and of foreign elements of ciicilization:
or it may be owing, in the case of the Egyptians,

How INDIGO IS PREPA tn.—The Indigo is a shrub
like plant two or direis feet high,,iiitb,delicate blue
green leaves, which at the harvest time, about )lei
month of August are cut off close to the stem, tied
into brindles, and laid in great wooden tubs. Plank
are then laid on them, and great ziones to cause , it:
pressure, and then wate; is poured over them, and
after a day or two the liquor begins to ferment. In
in this process ,of fermentallun pee the principal
difficulty, and everything depends on allowing it to
continue just the proper time. When the water
has acquired a dark green color it ja, purred,. Into
other tubs, mixed with lime, and stirred with wood
en shovels till kblue deposite separates itself from
the water, which is then allowed to ran off. The
remaining substance the indigo, is then put into lin
en bUgs, through irbieh the Fpoksyrs pqrs a end aa
soon as the indigo is &rend hard, it is broken into
pieces and packed up. Indigo is cultivated in the
East Indies to a considerable extent.
