AFTEH ELECTION.
Tha day' aharp alrife ia endod new,
Oar work I dene, Uod knoweth how !
A on th thronged, unreatful town.
The patience of the moon looks down,
I wait to bear, beside the wire,
Tba roioa of it tongues of fir.
Slow, doubtful, faint, taey era at Irtt;
Be strong, my heart, to hear tba worst !
Hsrk ! there the Allegbenles spoke;
That sound from lake and prairie broke !
Tba sunset gua of triumph rant,
The silenoe ef a continent I
Thst signal from Nebraska iprnng.
This from Nevada' mountain tongue !
Ia tbat thy answer, strong and free,
O ! loyal heart of Tennessee T
What atranga, glad voice, Is that which call
From Wagner' grave and Sumter' walls T
From Mism'stlpril't fountain head
A sound a of the biion'a treed 1
There ruatled freedom' Charter Oak !
In that wild burst the Otarks spoke !
Cheer answers ebeer ftom rite to set
Of sua. We have a aountry yet !
The praise, 0 God, ba Thine alone !
Thou rir.it not for bread a (tan ;
Thou bail cot led ns through th night
To blind as with returning light ;
Not through tha furnaee have we passed
To perish at it mouth at last.
Oh night of peas, thy flight reatratn '

Shine en the freed man's oabia floor,
Oo brows of prayer a blessing pour ;
And give, with full assurance blest,
Tba weary heart of Freedom rest !

there lived a sturdy, white haired frontiers
man named Walter Brown. He wss one of
those adventurous spirits ever to be found in
the van of advancing civilization, always
courting the free, wild air of the prairie, and
rejoicing in the profound depths of unin
habited forests.
But the country became moro ind more
thickly settled, and Walter Brown became
uneasy. His wife bad borne him a daughter,
the third or fourth year of their residence at
the headwaters ef 'the 8t. Croix, whom be
called Leonora. She was a good girl, and
the idol of her father. lie purchased a rifle
for her when she was but twelve years old,
and took the utmost pains in teaching ber
the use of it. She was brav and steady ef
nerve, and soon acquired wonderful skill as
a shot, and the number of prairie chickens,
partridges, wild water fowls, and other small
game she managed to shoot each day was
really large. Occasionally she would shoot
a deer, and one eventful morning, by a lucky
shot through the eve into tha brain, she
killed a bear.
When she came home with the news, her
fattier could scarcely credit her. But know,
ing her perfectly truthful nature, be danced
aUout tliu toom for joy, and seizing the sturdy
little maid, he mounted her upon his shoul
ders, and insisted upon carrying her all the
way to the spot where the dead bruin lav.
Thicker and thicker flowed tha tide of
emigration into Minnesota aud Wisconsin
following the navigable rivers as a matter of
course, nntt more and more uneasy and
"crowded." felt Waiter Brown. At length
his wife died. Leonora was then aixteeo,
and engaged to be married to a handsome
ynur.g trapper by the name of Watson, who
bad joined her father iu business.
The dtath of the mother had made it
necessary to postpone the wedding, and in
the interim old Walter decided to move into
northwest Minnesota. Neighbor were get
ting too near, and bunting and trapping
were bad. Aa the young tun had moved
up, and pre-empted a quarter section of land
Dear Taylor's Fall, then beginning to grow
rapidly, be did not wish to either abandon
or sell it just then, and persuading Leonora
to agree to write to him when they got set
tled, he bade her an affectionate good bye.
Brown lived in Minnesota for three or four
years in peace and quiet, Boding good trap
ping end bunting grounds, when ail at once
young Watson arrived, and renewed the pro
positi of tnarringe with Leonora. The old
man bad ahout determined to move no more,
aud bad accordingly located and pre eoiptud
several thousand acres of land about bitn ;
aud learning from Wutou that he had aion-j
enough to do likewise, proposed thnt he
ahould go down to St. Paul and buy land
warrnnt with hi money, and take up all the
land around he could "swing." Ho mijht
then marry Leonora, and they two would
to work, aud alter Ouilding plenty of m,,
tiling, etc, wouhl get a good tnxti "i ikhU.
and sheep, and try and lead a (jaStt'Ul lite
for the text of their days.
1 o tins propo-iuoo tliuynunpman heartily
absented, and at'i:r returning front St. P'inl,
weut nmveiy to worn in the woods, felling
trcta tor building purposes. It was agreed
lirst that they r-hoidd build a Dew hewed
log houe, for the united ftinily, as Walter
had mil , got up i nrfiull, single roomed cabin.
Then the wending was to take place, and
the two men would sgaiu reume their work.
While thus luisily engaged the Sioux war
broke out. It was the Imhit of Leonora to
take her lifle tint every morning aud shoot
prairie chickens for the tuliie, while ber lover
and father were hard at work on the new
house. Watson hart drought her as a present
from St. I'm u I a light aud handsome revolv
ing i iil.-, of w hich khe was immensely fond,
aud with which fhe became o expert she
could rboot a duck or prairie thicken on the
wiiiu with almost absolute certainty.
Que morning as she wss strolling around
the lake, riSe in bund, she noticed three
canoe loads of ludiau paddling carefully
along the opposite side of the water, steadily
and stealthily, approaching the spot where
ber lather and lover were at work. She did
not immediately apprehend any tragedy, but
in some unaccountable way she felt impelled
to remain and watch their motions. Bhe,
therefore, concealed herself behind the top
nf a fallen tree, and observed their move
ments, which grew more and mors) suspi
cious. There were two Indians io each canoe,
and after pulling steadily to a point where
thick, overhanging birch tret afforded con
cealment for their canoes, they disembarked,
and crept carefully and noiselessly along
unnl they were W'ilbia a few feet of where

Leonora trembled with excitement and
apprehension, expecting nothing less than
to witness the horrible butchery of her father
and lover at once.
But this did not seem to be the purpose
of the Indians : for, tying the arms of their
captives behind them, they took them to the
canoes, where,taking the old man Into one and
the young man into another, they shoved
boldly into the lake and paddled rapidly
dowa toward where the house stood. Leo
nora divined their intent Instantly.
"Ha I" she said to herself, "they doaign
capturing me. too. They deem that an cay
Job, perhaps J" and her eyes flashed and her
face flushed with aager. "Seel there is a
fourth cauoe, which tbey no doubt suppose
will carry me. This villainous work has
been Weil calculated ; but, ha t you bad sav
ages I you have mistaken your girl this timol
Leonora Brown had been taught more things
than to coek a venison steak. Oh, dear,
dear father, your Leonora will soon show
you how bravely she can succor you, and how
your Instructing ber the use of the rifle has
saved you this day. And you, too, darling
Harry Watson, bave won a longer lease of
your precious life by presenting me this
splendid revolving rifle. Six bullets for
stx ruffian 1 Miss one of literal eh, if I
should there's my knife l No, Leonora, you
must not will not miss one of them."
The girl now crept stealthily through the
nndcrbrush up the bank to the prairie above.
Bhe knew that to reach the bouse, the In
dians would bave to pass a broad, flat field,
where there was no shelter for their persons.
She did not think they would hesitate to do
this, because, having taken the two men,
they would hardly expect any resistance
from a single girl. About thirty rods to the
right of the path a cattle yard had been
erected by her father, and U the corner of the
fenee stood an immense elm tree. Inside of
this yard climbed Leonora, and behind the
big elm she concealed herself.
A few minutes more proved she was right
in her conjecture. The Indians, after hav
ing tied stout rawhide thongs around the
foet of their Drisoners. laid them down tn
the bottom of the canoes, and taking their
guns strode gaily and laughingly along to
ward the house, without any attempt at
concealment.
Leonora's heart grew as hard as a stone,
end her nerves which fluttered a little be
forenow grew as firm as steel. She had
put fresh water-proof caps upon each nipple
of her rifle, and resting the barrel on the
rail of the fence, she drew a sharp bead
upon the foremost one ; but as her finger
curved to press the triggers she heard what
actually seemed to be a voice whisper ;
"Not yet, Leonora 1"
She paused, and then, as if by inspiration,
flashed this thought into ber mind :
"Wait uutil they get nearer to the bouse,
then shoot the hiudmost one Srst."
She obeyed the impression, and let them
come on a few rods nearer. Suddenly the
thought came again :
"Now's your time !"
Clapping ber face to the rifle-breech, sho
trained the death-dealing tube steadily upon
the chest of the rearmost Indian for an in
stant and fired.
The bullet sped trne to Its mark, and the
burly Iudian merely threw up bis arms and
fell dead, the rifle ball having gone directly
through bis heart.
A clap of tuurader from a clear sky could
not have so utterly astonished those remain
ing Indians. Wildly they looked in every
direction tn see whence came the fatal shot.
In the next instant, bang I went Leonora's
rifle again, and another of their number
dropped dead.
But they saw the smoke of the last shot
and caught a glimpse of the shooter. At
once they comprehended their peril. They
could not hide, and their only show for lite
wa iu rushiug to the tree and tomahawking
their preaumplous foe on the spot. Instantly
sounding the v;ar-whoop, they bounded for
ward, but with the notes half uttered, ano
ther of their number leaped into the- Air and
fell back to rise no more. Leonora had fired
again.
The remaining three rushed on, Lot again
the brave girl's rifle rang like the knell of
doom, and a fourth savage pitched headlong
to the ground.
The terror of the remaining two was now
pitiful to behold, they stopped short in their
ouward course, acd uttered the most fearful
screams, discharging their rifles at the tree
in the wildest and most unavailing manner.
But again the relentless rifle bluzed, and
soother of the remaining two sunk to the
grouud ss the bullet went crashing through
bis drain.
Immediately the ooe left threw down bis
rifle and cried out :
"No shoot tue I No shoot me t Me give
hi. 1"
Leonora had drawn a bead on bitn, but.
now tuat they seemed .an perfectly iu her
Cower she lowered her rifle, sui stepping fiom
ehiod the tree, climbed the fence brUkly,
and eommeuced approaching the savage.

dian at tbs aipht of the cirl wns intrnse. and
t'lt iot t i t-tj Uia supplieatirg try, Im pit' liis
hand behind him and drew fortu Li xuiua,
haw k to throw at her.
Leonora's eye was as thsrp as sn eag'e's.
She ssw tlio treacherous move and jut as
the bright blade of the hatchet gleamed for
the t In oar, she raised her ride end shot
the faithless scoundrel dead in his tracks.
With the speed of the deer she now
bouuded forward to the Ink.
Hairy WaUoo shouted "Glory halleljjab I
I knuw it was Leonora 1" and the father
cried for Joy as ber lithe form appeared on
the Muff, rifle lu ban I.
Quickly ahe deacended to the canoes and
unbound tha two men, who embraced ber
and cried over her ia the most extravagant
manner.
But they fu!t they had no time to lose ;
and, hastily gearing up their teams and
loading up their valuables, they set out for
Minneapolis, where they arrived ssfely, sod
where Leonora and Harry WaUoo were im
mediately made one flesh.
Old Walter Brown and Harry Watson
both did good service in the Indian battles
which followed ; and, when the savages
were finally exterminated, they all went
back to their home on Green Lake, where
tbey now live. Tbey have one of the lar
gest stock forms in the otate ; and Leonora,
though a happy wife and mother, clings to
her beautiful revolving rifle, and yet occa
sionally uses it to keep herself in practice.

MISCELLANEOUS.
U.a. Lenicnti-cd'a Vlewe of tien,
Clrant,
A letter from General Longstreot has been
published, in which he expresses great con
fidence In the coming administration of Gen.
Grant, the President elect, and advises the
people of the South to give him their sup
port. He adds :
"That the people of the South desire prac
tical reconstruction there can be no doubt;
but it seems to be difficult to develop that
sentiraeut so as to produce practical results.
Drifting along in the channel into which
chance seems to have thrown me, I begin
to find myself, like many others, ready with
my theory. As it may interest you, I give
you a coucise statement of it. If you find
that you can make it useful, you are at liber
ty to do so. The wealth of the South lays
in its soil. If this proposition is true, its
sequent are equally so. I. Labor is essen
tial pi niak-e mat wealth available. 2. To
command labor, laws must encourage and
piuiei-t it. aiso tneir consequents:
"To encourage and invite labor, evidences
t proiecuau must ae made manifest through
mo uusruuon ot law upon the labor that we
have. Hence it appears thst the value of
our lands depends upon out labor, our labor
upon the Jaw, and the law upon us. A fail
ure upon our part, therefore, to enact and
enforce proper laws, will be as fatal to the
interests of the owners of real estate as
confiscation. And yet, all that Congress
asks us to do is to avail ourselves of the
only mesne by which we may avoid serious
depreciation of our material interests. That
is, this will be the practical result of recon
struction, under national legislation, uoon
our iuterests. The moving cause of that
legislation, probably, was 'security for the
future.' Here we may discover the time tbat
should mark our connection with recon
struction. It begins and ends in our care
for home interests. It will be time enough
to begin to look into the future when we
have provided for the present.
"iue politicians or the old school seem
anxious to impress upon the minds of our
young men the importance of rejecting all
propositions coming from the republican
party, or else they dishonor their own blood
and the blood of their own comrades. But
gentlemen should remember thst they only
dishonor their comrades when they dishonor
themselves, and that there cannot be dishon
or in ready obedience to law and a proper
care for our own welfare. On the contrary,
to discard the law and expose ourselves to
unnecessary difficulties is near akin to dis
honor. It is true that many worthy persons
are disfranchised under the law, but the
readiest and surest means of relief are
through the law. I conclude, therefore, that
inttrtst find duty and honnr demand that we
thotibl jjLtce oursefvtm in a condition to tuppetrt
the laict of Congrei. When we have done so
we shall receive abundantly of help from the
Executive and from the other members of
the government."
Write Home.
A WORD TO YOUXO ME5.
There can be no excuse for any young
man who never writes home, or whose letters
to the old folks there whose dreams are
ever of her son are few and fsr between,
and not worth much even when obtained.
It is sad to think, that there are young men
who let weeks and months pass away with
out a letter to their parents, or their brothers
and sisters who, when they do write, only
send a line Or two with some lame excuse
for their not doiug more; a line or two say iog
nothing, jutt containing some stereotyped
statemeut, or vague utterance, which gives
no information. Why, the value of a letter
from a young man to the far-off town or vil
lage home, consists in its little details ; its
affectionate gossip; its account of any cir
cumstance or incident that may bave promise
in it of advantage; its story of hopeful
struggle, of dawning success; or its references
to new formed friendship, to books read,
churches attended, lectures listened to, with
a thousand things besides, which may be
small in themselves, but which show an in
terest in the members of the home-circle, and
manifest the beating of the child's heart
within the roan'. Young men are not aware
what pain they may inflict by apparent ocg
lect ; bow letters, brief and infrequent, may
give rise to fesr and doubt, and occssion
anilous day and wakeful nights 1 Now,
don't neglect hime. Don't seem indifferent
to your own family, as if all your interest
were transferred to strangers. Keep the
chain of communication bright by use, and
write freely aud fully, with uurestrained con
fidence, that it may be felt tbat there is
neither blight on the affections nor error in
the life, which is too often the cause of that
lspue ia filial or fraternal correspondence,
which, though the result also at times of
mere thoughtlessness, Is always unkind and
sometimes cruel. Count D Gaiparin

Cooking Hams. I have learned much in
th half dozen year since I have assumed
the responsibility of being my own house
keeper, a to the best mode of boiling a ham,
I kuew very well that it was spoiling a good
ham ever to fry it when it can be broiled.
But I found that there were ways of boiling
a whole bam so as to ruin it : and this is the
way bow I now boil it: If it be a Mary
land or a Virginia ham, or any one rather old
or bard, it should be oaked over night in
plenty of water, then put into a suitable
cooking pot of cold water which should ba
raised to a gentle boil, or rather simmer, and
thi should be continued for fifteen minute
for every pound weight ef the bam. Than
take out, remove the skin, and dust ovr it
plentifully of bread crumb acd set in tha
oven to bake from fifteen to thirty minutes.
A ham cooked io thia way should be very
Under, juicy and of fine flavor, provided it
wss originally good.
If this will assist any one in her knowledge
how to improve upon the "old way" of pre
paring a whole ham for the table, I shall be
satisfied. I know very well that If once
tried it will be always tried.

Hard cough causa sleepless night by con
