Mary Mtad'a Defence.
" Keop up a good boart, Mary, III
bo back in tbroo houra at furthost
and I don't think you'll be disturbed
in that time, but you must keep a
good watch there ia no telling when
tho red dovila may be about,
The speaker waa John Mood, the
time waa 1750, and the place on the
babka of French Crook, midway of
the region between Port Duquenne
and the great lakea. John and bia
wife bad settled bers five years ago
when tho country waa an unbroken
wilderness, and bis nearest neighbor
forty miles distant Since then sev
eral families bad settled in the vicin
ity, and it waa to the next cabin five
miles away Johqewaa going to borrow
some meal until it would be safe for
him to leave bis family long enough
to go to mill, for the Indiana wore
especially troublesome at that timo,
and several recent outragoa bad op
erated to keep tho mun of the settle
ment always within call of thoir own
domiciles.
Mead a cabin was situated on a
knoll noar the crce't, and cominandod
an unobstructed view of the but
rounding country country ur a
mile in every direction. Substantial
ly built of rough hewn logs, and hav
ing a projection gullory on all sides
well loop-holed, so that it was well
nigh impossible for an attacking par
ty to approach tho walls. It was
known as Mead's fort, and a dozon
resoluto men well armed could have
hold it against any number of In-
dtns.
Mary Mead waa a small timid, wo
man, at all times wlien not called
upon for immediate action, and yield
ing to ber more powerful character
istic, her husband bad hardly disap
peared when ahe drew ber children
into the house, closed and barred
the door, securely fastened tbo only
window, a bole in the gable end
about two leet square and seven or
eight feet from the ground, and sat
down in the semi-twilight to await
his return. At intervals of a few
minutes she would peer through the
loopholes with which the house was
plentifully saturated and after a
glance resume her seat A nervous
anxiety seized her for which ahe
could in no way acoount, and she
could only pray silently for the swift
return of ber husband.
An hour bad passed away when
after gazing long and earnestly
through the loopholes, ahe fell on
her knees for a moment and rose to
all appearances an entirely different
woman, one saw seven Indians
leaving the forest and come toward
her dwelling, and her whole aoul waa
now filled with a determination to
defend herself and her little flock to
the last From a shrinking woman
ahe bad in an instant developed in a
heroine, resolute and invincible.
Hastily thrusting her children un
der the bed and eurvoutyling thera
with a barricade of firewood and sei
zing the axe, the only available wea
pon in the house, ahe waited the
coming of the savages, mean white
carefully observing the movements
of the savages. She bad not Jong to
wait, in a lew moments uiey pur
munded the house with go lilllo ot
their usual care about exposing their
bodies that Mary waa certain they
knew of the absence of her husband.
The door waa first tried two or
three aavagea dealing it aturdy blows
with a beavy log. J. no door itself
hewn from a single' trunk two feet
across six inches thick and secured
by two massive, ban, would nave re
sisted their most strenuous efforts
but Mary was no mean auxiliary to
the strength of ber fortress, A long
bar of iron heated red hot waa sad
dealy thrust out of the loophole and
ths next instant the two larajrei with
loud yella dropped their battering
ram and retreated rapidly from the
Ull tAreateniDor iron.
' Tba few momenta respita that this
ropnlsa gave tjar, Mary occupied in
stopping up tho ' loopholes go that
hew movements ooolt not ba peroeiv
ed froc tnt) outside, and grasping
ha tpA mdy to mist tba next
r (a)
blow foil upon the window fastening,
followed by another and another.
A glance through the noorest loop
hole showed her that the aavagoa bad
made ft platform of logs upon which
four of them were standing while
they repeated ths tactics Which had
fitilod at the door, with ft huavy lug.
They were beyond tho reach, of tbo
iron bar and the blows foil with a
force that made tho very walla rattle.
For some minutes tho stout oak re
sisted tho rapidly repeated shocks
but finally showed signs of yielding,
A quickly pushing the tablo, a point
just beside the window aho mounted
thoreon and gripping hor axe firmly
mado ready for what might ba hor
death struggle.
Hoarcely bad aho comnlotod hor
arrangements when the fosteuiugs j
gave way and a flood of light ap
poared in the room. Again tho light
was obstructed and this timo Mary
knew that a human body was the
cause. Sho roisod her axo and stood
like a statuo.
A moment after the hidoons hoa l
of a savage peered into the cabin bn,t
railed to see the brave woman stand
ing almost at bis elbow. His sbotjl
ders followed, the gUtteriug axe toll
and the Indian with bead almost wv
ered from bis body hung across' the
broad log. With a desperate effort
alio dragged him aside and of. care
fully as possible lowered Liu to the
floor. ;
None of tho Indians bod si en hor
movements and naturally concluded
their comrade had e (Tec tod Je lodgo

and demoniac laughter followed his
disappearance, but as. all within was

with more cnUition.
A long pa use ensued and Mary be
gan to hope ithat they would desist
from their el forts. Rut thev wore

A horce yoll . of rago rose from the

From the movement of her foes It

Van Amburuu's Method Me
nterizing a Tiger come now to tbe
secret the very soul, s. it woro of
ineumuiors existence and probat
ions! iuo;e, which I discovered un
der lha following strange cireumstao
eca : Oa arriving at the extremities
of tbe tigers, snxious to express tbe
poouliar action of the clawing natural
to all tho feline tribe, I casuyad lo
irritate bim with the handle of a hoe
usod for soraping out the dens, trui
ttog that be would striko st it with
his paw. It wss sll in vain ; I could
not procure tbe dotnonetrution of
tuloos necessary for my purple, al
though I over and over sguin triod to
bring him down to tbe scratch. In
deapair l gave it op aod got down
and smokeJ, considering what to do,
whoa I 'preHtotly observed that my
striped modal beauty had prepared
hiiUHelf for a siesta, aod ia bis aban
don had thrust out bis huge foot bo
nestb tbe bottom bsr, so that it hung
liatleanly on the outside, io a sort oi
drooping position.
Softly, almost impreocptibly,
smoothing it dowo with ooo hand a
sensation that evidently gave bim
pleaaure aod confidence, 1 Kith the
other tenderly drew opoa bia loos,
till continuing the mosmrrio move
ments Ua at first half opened bis
tert'or-stiuken eyes and gaud dozioly
but ioqiiiriogly at me, as much as lo
say ; "What are you going to do T" I
did not however dexiet, but cautiously
continuod my examination ; nor waa
I to be satisded until I had thorough
ly ascertained tho t utU of my suspi
cious ho had no claws. 1 Hoy bad
beou oxtractedas you would extract
the finger nail of a human being, and
the too afterward cauterized. Upon
carefully scrutinizing tho feet of tho
other animals, I soon maJe assurauco

convinced mysolf that they had all
been served alike i from tliu lion to
leopards thoy woro clawless. Tho
conclta'.on I immndiatoly camo to
within myself at this astounding
mutilation were those : Hero in bo
youd comparison tlio very handsome
est and noblest collodion of wild
beasts evor soon together, tamo, sub
missive, and tractable aa domestic
animals, in most Bttburb coat fat as
moles, and apparently as affectionate
and grateful for kindness aa would
bo tbu most intelligent aud faithful
of man's companions j tho one great
and aocountublo reason for this is
that in themselves thoir oourago,
their forooity and thoir savage natures
they aro vanquished, auuiniiaieu,
utterly undone and demoralized.
UcntUman t Magaune.
AnArgument lor Immortality
Tho incompleteness and imper
fection of the noblest part of men,
compared to the finished work which
creation elsewhere presents, affords
ground for tbe presumption that
that noblest part baa not yet reach
ed tho development it in intonded to
attain. Tho green leaf gives no
promise of beooniiii'g anything but
a leaf, an 1 in duo time it withers and
drops to the ground, without excit
ing in the beholder any sense of dis
appointment But the flower bud
holds out a different prospect ll
the canker worm devour it ero it
bloom into a rose, we are sensible of
grievous failure i and a garden in
which all the b ads should sq perish
would be more hideous than any
desert. Tbe body of a man grow
to its full stature and complete de
velopmeut t but no man boa ever yet
reached bia loftiost mental stature, or
the plenitude of moral strength and
beauty of whioh he ia capable. If
the simile bo just whioh . compares
tbe physical nature to s amffolding,
and tbo spiritual to tha temple- built
up within, it than wo behold the
strange anomaly of a mere fraroe-
work maae ao ponecs mat it oouiu
gain nothing were it preserved to
the fabulous age of tho patriarchs,
while the temple within is never
finudied. and is often an unsightly
heap. The "City of God" cannot be
built of pilea never to bo completed,
nor bia Garden of Souls filled with
flowers detained all to canker are
they bloom. rr. rww looo.

recently saw a ststemsot that toon
ting one hundred wbea tempted to
speak an angry word woo id save a
man a grsat deal of trouble. This
statement aouudsd a little eiogntar at
first, but the more be read it ovsr
tbe more favorably ha bmnt
Impressed with it, and finally
concluded to adopt it. Next door to
Reubens lives a roan who bas made
five distinct attempts lo tbs past fort
night to secure a dinner of treeq poas
by the 1st of July, and every time he
has been retarded by Reubens' chick
en. The next morning after ftouhen
tnaJe bis resolutioo Ibis man found
bis fifth attempt to have miacarried.
Thon he called on Roabens. no isid t
"What in thunder do you mono by
lotting your hens tear op Ibe garden?'
Reubens was prompted to call him
a mudsnoot, a new nimo, jusl coming
into general uao, but bo remembered
bia resolution, put dowtj bis rage, and
meekly observed :
"One, two, thro, four, five, six,
seven, eight"
Then the mad neighbor, who had
been eyeing this answer with a great
deal of euapioion, broko in again :
"Why don't you answer my ques
tion, you raaral t"
Hut still Rrubcn maintained his
equanimity, and wcot on with the
test.
"Nine, ten, sloven, twelve, tbirteon,
V' t f V . i II i v 1 1, i ri.tvuii
The mad noighbor stsrod harder
tbsn ever.
"Sevontoen, eighteen, tuooteen,
twenty, twenty one "
"You srea moao skunk," said the
mad neighbor, backlog toward the
foneo.
Reubens' face flushed tt this
charge, but bo only said:
"Twenty two, twonty-throo, twon-ty-four,
twonty five, twenty six "
At this flguro the neighbor got up
on the fence in somo hosto, but sud
denly thinking of bis poas, he oponod
ton mouth i
"You mean, low lived rascal, for
two cents I could knock your crankod
bead ovor a barn, and I would "
"Twenty-seven, twenty-eight," in
terrupted Roubons, "twouty-nino,
thirty, thirty one, thirty-two, throe''
Here tho neighbor broko for the
houso, and entering it violently slara
mod the door behind him i but Rou
bons did not daro lot up on tbe enit
moration, aud bo ho stood out there
alono in bis own yard and kept on
counting, whilo his burning cheeks
ami flashing eyes eloquently affirmed
his judgmout When ho got up into
tho oigbtioti his wifu camo to the
door in some alarm.
"Why, llotibons, roan, what is the
matter with you " sho saiiL "Do
come into tho house."
But ho didn't let up. Sho camo
out to bim, and clung trombling to
him, but ho only looked into hor eyes,
and said :
"Ninety-tlireo, ninoty-four, ninety
fivo, ninety-six, ninoty-sevnn, ninoty
eight ninety nine, ouo hundred go
into tho houso, old woman, or I'll
bust yo."
Aud sho went. Danhury Xetos.
Curious Morjr About A Hawk.
A curious incident occurred a few
days since a short distance from this
city. Ono of our well known mer
chant bad gone out on a visit to a
friond, at whoso houso thuro was a
bright little boy, and one day, to
pleaso tbe child, lio manufactured,
a very large kite, and as tho wind was
strong enough, it was raised at once.
Aftor it bod goue up neatly half a
mie, a largo crowd of country
peoplo colloctod to a.lmiro it as such
a magnificent toy bad never boen
seen in that section before. Whilo
tho spectators were admiring it a
very large hawk was soen to fly slow
ly ont of a neighboring grove and
go directly toward the kite Tbe
hawk approached within a few foet
of the gtrange looking objoct aud
then circled about under it for per
haps five minutes, when he flow just
above it and again circlod around for
several times.
(Suddenly bo hovorod directly over
the kite, and looked at it intoutly for
a short time, darted downwards, and
striking tbe paper, passed directly
through the kite, coming out on the
under side, after thia strange ex
perience, which no doubt puzzled
the bawk vastly, bo flew off a abort
distance for reflection, but still keep
ing the kite in view. Not being
disposed to give It up so, be quickly
returned to the charge, and this
time fastened on the long string of
rags that were used as a tad to the
kite, which be tore aud aoattcred iu
the air in a savage manner. Finding
however, no resistance on the part of
tbe kito, be become disgusU'd or
scared, and flew away toward the
woods from whence be come. Tbe
gentleman Bays that whenever the
bawk made au attack he would re
treat a bttle, aa if be expected tho
strange bird was going to return, the
