KASKEEWAWA.
A LEGEND OF THE DELAWARE.
BY ALLAN EMORY".
. Along the Delaware river, about twenty
miles above the memorable place where
Washington crossed his army on Christ
mas night, 177C, the country on the
Pennsylvania side comes out to the river
in lonsr lines of rolliuc hills and nrescnts
Cj g
a frowning front of bald, perpendicular
bluffs, thehighest point of which stands
out four Hundred feet above the level of
the river. This overhanging cliff " time
out of mind" has borno the came of the
" Top Rock." It was a favorite lookont
of the Indians, and on the beautiful green
sward sloping upward and back from the
rocks, shaded by a few cedars and short,
sturdy oaks, the council fires of a large
and powerful tribe of Indians bad burned
for many generations. Kaskeewawa, the
Tall Cedar, as was called on account of
his great stature, was the Chief of this
tribe. By his daring and bravery in bat
tle he had distinguished himself among
the various Indian tribes, and for con
tinued marks of friendship was highly
respected by the whites. Under his pro
tection, more, than a hundred years ago,
a settlement sprung up in a narrow valley
a short distance from the Top Rock.
Mr. Nicholas Heller was the most
prominent man of the village, between
whom and Kaskeewawa there existed the
greatest friendship,' and at whose house
the old Chief was almost a daily visitor.
At the time of which we write, Mr.
Heller's only daughter, Mary, was about
nineteen
village,
tuc ucauiy ui on me ru"iuu.
Many a youth had wooed her, but John
Preston alone had won. John called at
her house one day on his way home from
the mill, and the day, as he said, " to tie
ine Knot, was nxeu. ms joy was so
great when he left that he led " the old
grey" and carried the bag of meal himself,
whistling all the way home, only now and
then widening his good-natured mouth to
say, " only two weeks from to morrow.1
Indian Summer, that most delightful
season of the year, had come with its
smoky skies of hazy blue ; sunrise, beauty
and glory, and sunset grandeur softly
shaded and veiled with floating violet,
alternated all day long. Not a bird trilled
a harsh note, but warbled magically in
distinct in far away tones : the bees float
ed lazily homeward laden with honey ; the
music of mature slowly rose and fell in
gentle cadence, and everything seemed
dozing away in a delightfnl dream. The
villagers with thankful hearts were gather
iog in their crops of golden corn, and on
health, plenty and contentment peace and
prosperity smiled
When, as usual, John went to see Mary
one evening, many were the bright plans
lor future happiness and joys anticipated
oniy to oe ciouaea Deiore tne morrow s
sun should rise. The lovers sat in a cor
ner of the old kitchen, (and for that mat
ter parlor, dining room and all. for it
boasted but one room), and Mary's father,
with book before him and spectacles in
position, was sitting by a table but with
eyes shut, for slumber's gentle chain had
bound him, when a light, but firm step
was beard, and without salutation in
strode the old Chief. His locks unwhiten
ed and his form unbent by the storms of
sixty winters, he yet stood a model for an
Apollo. As his custom was when he had
anything important to communicate, he
beckoned Mr. Heller to follow. Halting
at an old oak a few rods from the house,
he said: " White man, we are friends.
When the red man wants anything he
speaks. Hushahooa has seen many snows.
When her father gave her to me she was
like the young roe of the mountain, but
now she is like you withered pine, and
soon she will go to the far hunting grounds
of the Great Spirit. Thy daughter is as
Hushahooa was ; give her to me ; she 6hall
be the bright eyes of my tribe."
The father, struck with surprise and
sorrow at the unnatural proposal, con
cealed his feelings as best he could,
through fear of the powerful Chief, for
be well knew that not only his own, but
the lives of the whole settlement rested
in his hands. He said, " Hut Hushahooa
yet lives in thy wigwam." "She lives
not to me," was the laconic reply. ' Hut,"
said the father, trembling for the safety
of his daughter, and not wishing to say
that she was promised to another, " it
would bo a disgrace to thy tribe to take a
pale-face to thy wigwam, and perhaps the
maiden is not willing." " The words are
as the wind, said the Chief, snowing
passion, for-his word had always been law,
"give me thy daughter." The father
pleaded for time, and at length Kas
keewawa said, " when three suns have
passed, come with thy bright eyes' to
the Top Rock." So saying, he strode
away in the darkness, and the dim outline
of his tall retreating form seemed like
one
of those huge, fabled figures that
crossed the sky with gigantic strides just
before Ilcrculancum and Pompeii were
entombed alive. With anguish in his
heart, Mr. Heller returned to his dwel
ling, and made known the terrible iotelli-

the Indians," and this daughter, the
beautiful flower that bloomed on the
death bed of his wife, was all that was
left to him, and before her was what was
worse than the open grave. They knew
how completely they were in the power
of the savages, and what good words could
not accomplish force would. When the
moon.
rising above
the trees, threw a
" dim religious light" in scattered beams
through tbe little square windows, they
fell on a stricken household bowed in
prayer. But there was no time to lose.
Plans of escape were at once laid, and
it was decided that John and Mary should
start that night yet for the nearest fort.
As soon as the moon sunk behind the
hills, Mr. Heller went to the barn, sad
dled the horses, and was leading them
out, when the towering form of Kaskee
wawa emerged from the gloom with the
same stately tread it had entered, and
pausing, said, " Kaskeewawa's eyes are
on me wnite man ana nis warriors sur
round the village, take heed "on my
words," and he was gone. The fitting
forms now and then seen in the darkness
told too plainly tho truth of his words,
and that all hope of escape was vain. A
deeper gloom was now east over them and
in sadness and tears they awaited the
morning, when a messenger appeared
from the old Chief: "That when the
sun went down he should bring his pale
faced beauty to the Council Ground by
the Top Rock.
There was no sound of labor in the
village or fields that day. A solemn,
Sabbath-like stillness reigned. The
music of the feathered songsters had lost
its gayety and now was plaintive and low,
and even the winds that had sounded so
sweetly through the brauches of the pine
trees the evening before now only swelled
in long, deep-drawn sighs. All day long
they were held close prisoners, all at
tempts at escape being cut off ; and when
the sun, all swollen and red, as if in rage,
rolling down amid the gorgeous glories
of the western sky, had nearly run his
course, the savages suddenly withdrew,
except half a dozen warriors, who ap
proached Mr. Heller's house and bade
him and his bright-eyed beauty" follow.
The villagers, willing to risk their lives
for one they so dearly loved, advised re
sistance, but Mr. Heller, calm and collect
ed, came from his closet where he had
spent most of the day in prayer, and bid
ding his darling follow they set out for
the old Council Ground. Mary confided
as implicitly in her father as he did in
the God of his fathers. He went like
Abraham of old to the sacrifice of his only
child, but with faith as firm that in this
hour of trial he would not be deserted.
Slowly they wended their way up the
winding path, arched by the overhanging
hemlocks, festooned by the wild grape,
crapcted with mosses, pictured by wild
flowers, pa3t rocks gray with lichens and
by cool dripping springs, till at last as
they emerged from the dense forest and
neared the appointed place a strange scene
lay before them. To the eastwared
stretcked the dark waters of the Delaware,
and the last lingering rays of the 6un
gilded the already autumn-crowned hill
tops beyond. Iu the foreground the
whole tribe sat in solemn council, and in
front of them the huge form of Kaskee
wawa in fiercest rage was dragging his old
j. f .i i .
squaw toarus tue euge oi tne precipice
that yawned below the Top Rock. He
had accused her of a crime and condemn
ed her to death. Murmurs of disapprob
ation ran through the assembled braves,
and many a hand involuntarily grasped a
tomahawk ; but among those sons of the
forest Kaskeewawa reigtsed supreme ; no
one dared to question his acts.
As he was about hurling her down the
dizzy height she reproached him for not
permitting her to sing her death song to
theGreat Spirit. The angry Chief for
an instant relaxed his grasp, whilo the
aged squaw began a shrill, screeching
song which echoed wildly among the
rocky cliffs ; but his rage returned, his
visage grew dark, his veins swelled out,
and with one blow from his ponderous
fist he attempted to send her to the depths
below. The fire of youth for an instant
flashed in those dim eyes, and with a
quick movement, avoiding his blow, she
threw'hereslf flaton her face upon the rock :
but Kaskeewawa, the proud and haughty
Chief unguarded through passion, lost his
balance, and with a fearful yell of min
gled rage and terror fell headlong down the
awful abyss. When they raised the still
prostrate form of Hushahooa, they saw
that the light of life
those old orbs forever.

Hot Water for Poisonous Bite3.
The efficacy of hot water in various in-
jurca is not generally known. Many per
sons have perished from the eilects of
bites from rabid or vcuomoua auimals or
reptiles, as dogs, rats, snakes, etc., whoso
lives might have been saved by tho use
of hot alkaline water. Whenever any
one is bitten, the injured part should im
mediately be immersed iu hot water con
taining a little lye or so la ash, and re
main therein for several hours the wa
ter being constantly kept as hot as can
possibly be borne. It ia a positive cure.
A certain young lady had a custom of
saying to a favorite little bog, to make
him follow her, "Corao along, sir." A
would be witty gentleman stepped up to
her one day and accosted her with, "Is
it rue, madame, you called?" "Oh, no,
sir," said she, with great compoaurc, "It

How to Cheat the Doctor.
A soldier a patient at Herbert at Her
bert Hospital, England, a few days ago,
wrote the following advice to a comrade :
"Previous to going to hospital rub your
tongue with chalk, ready for the word,
'Put out your tongue ; then, when, when
the doctor is going to feel your pulse, be
sure to knock your elbow against the wall,
and it will beat to any number a minute,
then, if you wish to persevere to be an
invalid, be on tbe look out for a friend
to bring you a bit of raw bullock's liver
every morning, in order to spit blood for
the doctor; of course, have a little bit of
liver in your mouth, under your tounge
fresh, ready for him when he comes
rouud the hospital ward, and have a good
piece ready to spit out for him when he
approaches your cot ; then give a great
sign and a groan, and your arc sure to be
ordered lamb chops, chicken, rice pud
diog, port wine, Guinness's, stout, iu fact
you may live on the fat of tho land for
the rest of your soldering, which will not
be long ; but depeud upon it, you are
sure of a pensiou, even under ten years'
a si
service.
We hope there arc not many in hospi
tal quite so clever as this "old soldier."
Death. How is it, that, having once
looked on death, we can for a moment
forget it 1 How can we go back to our
hopes and dreams, when we have under
stood that they must all end here, that
the most loving eyes must be closed thus,
the busiest -hands so crossed upon the
breast the greatest mind becomes a
blank, and human beauty turn in a few
short hours to a thing of sorrow ? Why
does not this phantom Death stand at the
alter, and say to tho bride and bride
groom "Why love, when there must
come a bitter parting for one of you ere
long? Why wed, when the very wedding-hour
hurries you nearer to the grave
as it passes by ?"
How can the mother forget it when
her baby lies upon her brca?t, and not
say to herself "I have only brought in
to this world another thing to die?"
Why do we not see the ghastly skeleton
at our: feasts; see him iu our streets;
hear him in songs ; and be so bitterly op
pressed by his inevitably comiug as to
lose all hope, and sit in dust and ashes,
bewailing tho bitter fato of man, who, do
what he may, can only live to die ?
An old Scotch lady was told that her
minister used notes. She disbelieved it.
Said one, "go into the gallery and sec."
She did so, and saw the written sermon.
After the luckless preacher had conclud
ed his reading on the last page he said :
"But I will not enlarge." The old wo
man cried out from her lofty poaitiou :

A countryman stopped at a city restaur
ant for dinner. The waiter inquired what
he would have, and was told by the coun
tryman to bring him "something of what
he had." The waiter brought him a re

usual form, and set them around his plate.
The countryman surveyed them carefully
for a moment and then broke out, "Well,
