SOMERSET,
THE OLD HOjXC
EV WILL WALLACE nACSEY
Ad out-doer quiet held the earth
Eeneath the winter moon,
The cricket chirped In co?y mlrLh,
And the kettle cruaned, upon the hearth.
A sweet, old-f.nhlone'i tune.
The ol 1 clock tlvke 1, a drowsy raci.
With the clicking cf the ericktit,
AnJ re 1 coats In the chimney place
1'ecped ont, with many a rosy f-.ee,
Like berries In a thicket.
The crane's arc empty, stuck tut sti3.
And tio-ware on the shclvce
5 Twinkled and winked at every s'.ilT,
In the flickering fire-light, a ir
Tuey whispered to themselves.
The g'i dame, lnhtrruffl.dcap,
Counted bcr stlu-hes slowly.
And the old man, with full many a gap.
Head Irom a liitf Cook on his lop.
The good words, wise and holy.
The oi l clock clicked ; the oi l man read,
His deep voice pausing, lowering ;
The good wbe nodded, dropped her head ;
The li is of l oth were heavy as lead
They wciv aoua 1 asleep and souring.
(lb, hale oM couple ! sweet eaca dream,
While all the miik pans tilting
Fuss paints her whiskers in the cream,
Till John and t jo belated team
Erinj? MaglB rrein the oniltmjr.
May Time, I pray, when falling years
Slake tl.in my tuIjc and thr.ipp'.e,
Find my last days of life like thelis,
As sweet with children's lave and praytT3,
And like a winter appb;.

Ht-r repertoire was a limited one,
containing only a fe-' ballads then
commttn on the border, and generally
cf a mournful character. One of
her dismal ditties alway? affected
hfr. It told in dreary numbers how
sisne younj maiden drowned herself
in the deep, deep sea, for love of one
who left her fir a fairer, lichtr bride.
Iltr assumption of a sensibility,
which perhaps sho did not possess,
touched him to the (juick. One day j
when she seemed more than ordinal;-!
ly affected, by the song, lie tuddetiiy
and gravely asked :
' What for maiden drown ? Why
no kill?"
"Why, Athanast; ! How wicked!
Aiu't you too bad to tuik that way ?"
she esktd in pretended horror.
"Would you do s.i?"
"Ob, yes-," he gravely but courte
ously replied.
Au uneasy sense of ht-r own little
ness, compared to tLis honest sav
age, and a partial aw akening to the
danger of the path she was so reck
lessly treading, came over her. For
a brief moment her better uature
struggled to assert itself, but vanity
and her innttJ coquetry urged her
on ia the path she was going in the
path that threatened to end in blood
and sorrow for her and all her friends.
Then came a time when the Indian
lover was to start for Canada, with
a young French officer to whom he
was much attached, to be absent
a long time. Tbe people of the set
tlement thought this a good oppor
tunity to rid themselves of all com
plications by hastening her marriage
during his absence, not dreaming of
tbe extent of the encouragement she
had given Lieu. She would only. con
sent on condition that her husband
would agree to cross the mountains
to their old home, to which he reluc
tantly consented.
At tbe last interview between the
coquette and the Iudian, she with
reckless persistency, perhaps fasci
nated with the very danger, reverted
tu their former conversation.
"So you think that giii ought to
kill her lover and not drown herself?"
lie nodded gravely in reply.
"Oh! that's wicked. You wouldn't
kill me, would you, Athanase?" she
asked with coquettish grace and ten
der iiitonution of the voice. The
young' brave was roused from his
natural stoicism and hotly answered:
"No! No! Only kill when hate.
Don't hate the pale maiden. Me
love. When six moons go Iudian
come for white wife."
The calm decision of his mauner
and undoubted earnestness of pur
pose convinced her that, when she
was married, distance and the huge
range of mountains between them
could alone save her from the just
anger of her dusky lover.
Preparations for ile marriage were
set on foct. The little settlement
was roused from its apathy and de
termined to celebrate so joyful an
event, wiih real border heartiness.
Although not secret, yet the sensible
portion of the settlers did not wish
the news to travel too fur. The
Jo -
dian as far away, but might
return; and even the most thought
less dreaded (hot possibility without
exactly knowing why. As they were
to return to tbe other side of tbe
intiUi'tain il was determined to give
tl.rm a splendid wedding and make
their thoughts t f their Valley home
pleasant remembrances. One day
was not sufficient for so important
an event, so three were set apart to
be exclusively devoted to festivities.

nized him and instinctively warned
her of what she might expect
A
glance showed what we are com
pelled to use so many words in tell
ing. All seemed to comprehend and
to anticipate a tragic ending. Quick
as were their thoughts, the actions
of the Indian kept pace. Tbe girl,
tittering that dreadful cry, rushed to
throw herselt upon tbe manly breast
that would so gladly have shielded
her.
Tbe tomahawk of the savage ar
rested his steps. and stilled his brave
heart forever, buried in his brain ere
he fully realized what caused that
dreadful cry from his expectant bride.
Drawiug another weapon as he
hurled his battle-axe, the Indian
dashed forward toward the girl with
reckless daring and superhuman en
erT. Whether he designed to kill
or capture her wa3 not discovered,
as his purpose was frustrated by
the whites rushing in between
them, for they were nursed in
danger's lap and recovered f-cm the
shock and the surprise with marve
lous rapidity, which only a lifo of
vicissitude could teach. The savage
seeing himself outnumbered, and for
the time, at least, balked of his re
venge, for which he only wished to
live, fled in a zigzag course toward
a clump of timber. II is wily strat
agem was successful, the hurried aim
of the whites was bafiled, aad he
reached in safety the sheltering
wood. Then wheeling, ho faced the
bouse and pealiDg forth the battle
cry of his tribe, with desperate calm
ness awaited the onset of his fee.
Rlood Le panted for; 'blood alone
could wash out thu insult and con
tumely wilh which be had been
treated, and fit bun for intercourse
with the braves of his natiou in the
"hatpv hunting grounds."
Well was it then for tbe peace of
tbe border that tbe bravest there
were also iust men. The conduct of
the girl and of tho Indian had con
vinced them that he was acting ac
cording to his lights, and had great
claims to their compassion. With
difficulty they restrained the fiery
spirits who were rushing forth to
answer his. defiant yell. They were
of the border chivalry end would
brook no insult or challenge from an
equal, still less from an Indian,
and one friendly to tbe French. An
appeal to their sense of right and
superiority of numbers stopped them.
The bowed and stricken coquette
admitted giving him undue encour
agement, but like most evil doers,
sto meant no harm. She only want
ed to see how an Indian would act.
"Wanted to make Henry, oh! poor,
poor Henry! jealous, justlo see how
he would act," etc.
After waiting some time for the
expected attack, Athanase wandered
away into tho forest planning for re
venge to the Indian a sacred duty.
He visitad the tribes least favorable
to the Euglish and by his fiery elo
quence and zeal roused their young
men to a pitch of frenzy nearly equal
to his own. He formed a league for
the destruction of every Englishman
on tbe border and more particularly
the settlement at the forks of Yongh.
II is design, in which he was success
ful, was to unite all the neighboring
nations. The advance of Rraddock's
overwhelming force alone saved
them. He would say :
"Who are these people that look
upon us as dogs? That, fccorn us?
Whose plows rake up and destroy
the graves of our fathers, and whose
dogs gnaw tWeir bones ? They call
us brothers, and destroy and drive
away the game! Is that like a
brother ? They kill all the largest
and most beautiful trees of the forest,
where the game can shelter. Day
after day the axes of the Swannock
ring in our forests and the timber
withers at their touch. Is that a
brother's act? They claim all tbe
land from the far In-nun-gah, the
beautiful Ohio, to the distant rapid
streams of the Lenape! Will you let
them have it? Will you tamely sub
mit, sons of the great Unamis ?
Will you tell the great council of the
Onondagas that you cannot resist, the
men who love nothing, respect noth
ing; who defile our fathers' graves;
who let their cows drink and their
filthy swine wallow in tbe Eacred
spring, where all tbe tribes, from
year to year, smoked the calumet and
listeued to the talk of the Great
Mauitou in their dreams. They rob
fusI They cheat us! They call us
slaves, and worse, they make us
slaves! Rouse, then, sous! of the
forest! Sound the great tay-xcay-e-gun
of your fathers! Let tbe noise
of tbe the-thty-xcon be beard ia your
camps, until tbe iuvader is driven in
to the waters that lock to the sun,
and the sons of Unamis are free!"
The effect of such harangues can
well be imagined on puch Sery sub
jects, when aided by tbe flashing eye,
tbe impassioned manner and the
magnetic influence that a great pur
pose and deep feeling always give.
One and all shouted to be led to
battle.
At this momentous crisis in their
flairs when the war-drum was

s'oundinjr the knife sharpened,. , the
hatchet brandished; while the ex

flushed every dnky cheek a runner
arrived.
The "fiery cro.V never swept the
hiils and valleys of Scotland faster
than did tbe "war arrow" of the
tribes of the West the mountains and
dells of Pennsylvania. This time it
was no petty tribal strife, no mere
dah out on the war path, but war be
tween the mightiest cations of tho
eartb, and all must soon take one
side or the other. 'Twas then tbe
whites felt the enmity of tbe brave
and fiery Athanase. He labored
zealously for the French ; he carried
nearly all the Indians with him U
their party in spite of the influence

When ihe French commandant asked

"Is our father mad that he aks us

to do this thing ? Docs he want us
all killed? The Swannock have four
thousand men and big thuuder-guus
that cut down trees and shoot miles !
No! We do not want to die."
Athanase ihe Avenger, burning
with his wrongs, with a fiery elo
quence that blinded and controlled
ibem cried: "I care not for thunder

my young men if we go alone. We
willrigbt,and we will conquer ! When

They furiously commenced the war
dance. They shouted to be led to
battle, rushing on in advance of tho
French. With mad and Headlong
fury they began and continued the
fight. The disastrous result is known.
Fearfully were their wrongs aveng-
eil. A eloom spread over the colo
nies, particularly Pennsylvania, and
for year3 the dying wail of tbe
slaughtered frontiermcn, all along
tho border, was music to the ears
ot tbe savages.

The coquette whose trifling had
prepared tbe way for so". many hor
rors wa3 sent to the East by her
friends. Not deeming it safe to her
to remain on the border, and for fear
her Indian lover might follow even
there, they reported bhc bad died of
grief. She lived a solitary, unloved
life.. Tbe story of her trilling and
the tragic end of her betrothed fol
lowed her, and men ever after looked
askance at her as an "unlucky one."
Her story has had a good effect on
the young ladies of that section, for
there has never been a coquette there
since. This is good news, and may
be considered reliable, as we have it
from tbe ladies themselves. Certain
ly they ought to know.- ---
Tbe Follow Who. Looks Like He.
Max Adelcr, who writes fora Phil
adelphia paper, has a friend named
Slimer, who deserves pity. He was
going up to Reading the other day,
and when he reached -the depot, he
happened to look into tbe ladies'
room. A woman sat there with a.
lot of baggage and tbreo children,
and when she saw Slimer she rushed
at him, and before he could defend
himself, she flung her arms about his
neck, nestled her head upon his
breast, and burst into tears. Slimer
was amazed, indignant, confounded ;
and ere be could find utterance for
his feelings she exclaimed :
"Oh, Henry, dear Henry,! we are
united at last. Are you well? Is
Aunt Martha fctill. alive f.Haveut
you longed to see your own dear
Louisa."
And she looked into Slimer's face
and smiled through her tears.
"Madam," said he solemnly, "if I
am the person alluded to as Henry,
permit toay that you have made a
mistake. My name is Lsmoel, 1 have
no Aunt Martha, and dob't own any
solitary Louisa. Oblige me by Jet
ting go my coat,, it excites remark."
Then she buried her bonnet deeper
into his waistcoat, and began to. cry
harder than ever, and said :
"Ob, Henry, how can you treat me
so? How can you pretend you are
not mv husband - .
"Madam." : screamed illrne.,, it

A3 a policeman was leaning against
the walls cf the Detroit and Milwau
kee depot, Detroit, he was epproach-ed-bya
man about thirty years of
age, whose red face was a irood match
for his hair. He wa3 a L'ttle "sprung"
and he felt like a steer turned into a

"Mister," said be, speaking very
confidentially to the oflicer, "I don't
want to get locked up, and have my
name in the papers, and be Cncd, but
I am in from Ionia, on a little blow
out, and I'd give a cleaa' ten-dollar
note to have a little scrimmage with
somebody."
"You mean you want to fight?''
asked tbe ofliccr.
"That's what I mean. I'm just

"Heavy?, 1 should say I was!
Why, I o'm terrible. They call me

Tbe officer said it was his duty to

in a casolike that, where a tuaa had

The tirent Salt In lie.
It is very strange that out of the
many who travel across the conti
nent, desirous of seeing everything of
interest, that there are o lew who
will take the time and trouble to see
this nioit wonderful aud beautiful
sheet of water. The size cf tbe lake
is about eighty miles from east to
west, and about oue hundred miles
from north to south, it is the great
reservoir for all the waters that empty
into tbe surrounding valleys, without
any known outlet, except what the
rays of the gentle summer sun draws
. to tbe cloudy strata oi the
heavens. Tbe water is exceedingly
salty, more so than auy body of
water m the world, ind its buoyancy
is fully l.OOO per cent, more than that
of tbe ocean. Id tbe crudest manner
tbe Mormons make a pail of salt from
three pails of water; and tbo buoy
ancy is very perceptible ia bathing,
when tbe oidmary swimmer hnds he
can float as easily aud securely as
walking oa the "sure and firmest
earth." Sinking is impossible. Tbe
water iu tbe lake i gradually rising,
and tbe estimates have put it at ten
inches each year ; but no means have
been taken to measure it untii tsbout
two months since, when a granite
monument was erected at Rlack
Rock, a short distance from the
shore. .
Tbo lake as a thiftgof beauty is al
most unsurpassed. Ihe water at
times is of the deepest green ; at
others of the deepest blue ; and, vary
ing from the shallow to the deep
water, from the lightest to the dark
est shades, and at all times like, tbe
grand ocean. Ihe seagull and the
pelican Fcale just overhead, riding
gracefully the waves upon the smooth
or rolling surface. .
When the sky is cloudy and tbe
air dark with heavy clouds, ycu look
across the lake at the widest part,
and it will remind you of old Atlan
tic, as you mav have scca it from the
Jersey coast. It was about the mid
dle of September when Mr. McCua
dy from New York, and the writer
saw the lake when a gale was rolling
in the breakers on the shore not un
like tbe waves at Long Draoeb, when
the winds were blowing from the
east W ben the winds are still and
the summer sunshine was resting
quietly upou it, it is liko a mirror,
with its islands rising up from it quite
abruptly, several thousand feet, cloth
ed with verdue, making indeed, a
lovely sight. , :

A young man named Samuel Eich
oltz died at his lodgings at Washing
ton from lockjaw. A short time ap;o
he ran a rusty nail into one of his
feet, the wound giving him much
paia for several days. Tbe pain
ceased, and ho thought he had quite
recovered. He walked out into the
garden adjoining his lodging?, gather
ed some flowers, and carried them to
his house. While on his way back
be suddeuly felt tbe cords ofihe back
of his neck commence drawing his
bead backward, and he became aware
that bis jaws were setting. He re
marked in a laughing way, but too
true, that be was getting the lock
jaw. His relatives made light of the
rmark, and supper was announced
shortly after; but when Mr. Eicholtz
tried to drink some tea from a saucer
he found he could not get the saucer
between his teeth, and even then it
was only thought he was suffering
from the effects of a cold. However,
they at length came to the sad con
clusion as to the nature of his dis
ease, as his jaws were set to open no
more.
Tbe nearest physician was sent for,
but the case was a hopeless one, aa

rural beuty, "It won't come off
clean ; and and my st-sto-stockings
are ruined." "Never mind th stock

swain; I can buy you a new pair."
Duy me a new pair; where would I
put them on ?" said sho. "Why we
can go to a hotel, for that matter 4n

Never!" alu.nt screamed
tbe frightened girl ; "I'd soonerjump
into the river than go to a hotel with
a man I'm not married to."
Charley seemed conscience stricken
as the enormity of bis proposition
flashed upon his mind, and when last
we saw tho pair they were in quest
of a clean pair of hose aad a proper
place to put them oa.

A wealthy raaa condemned to
death will arrange with his jailor to
buy hira a substitute lor a certain
sum of money, to be spent upon tho
poor wretch's interment and prese r-.
vation of his body. Should he hav
parents, so much is usually paid to
them hi compensation for their son's
life. Chinamen invariably help to
support their parents; filial respect
and devotion is the great Chinese
virtuo and religious precept, in which
they rarely fait. 'Regarding death as
inevitable, he makes the best of a
bad bargain, and cunningly and
comically gets paid for dying. The
wholesale destruction of life in this
country is greatly tbe result of indif
fereace. Hence tbo massacre of Eu
ropeans, so terrible to us, seems to
them a matter cf little moment, and
they cannot comprehend why w
should make such a fuss about it.
Tbey regard our indignant protesta
tion very much as we might treat our
irate neighbor whoso dog we had
shot. Temple Ear.

Do Angela Fly?
"Do angel's fly?" This is a ques
tion which may have been much dis
cussed by the Casuists, tbe Rostcru
cian3 and serious-minded game-keepers;
but we are not aware that it has
ever beeu regarded as settled. This
very problem of angelical volatility
bas" just agitated the bosoms, excited
the intellectual powers and stirred
up the ptijnacity of two disputatious
Detroit specialists. "lhey cy,
asserted tbe first. "They don't,"
said the other. Neither would give
up his notion. Neither had a parti
cle cf evidence to produce. Each
could plead only bis own intuitions.
There was but one resort the ordeal
of battle! So at it went the fierce
philosophers, "Angels fly," cried one,
delivering nobly bis right. "They
dou't," bawled the other, counter
ing. "Fly like birds," screamed tte
champion of seraphic wings, coming
ia with his left oa the skeptic's jaw.
First kn ck down for tbe Flying An
gels. We know not how many rounds
were fought, nor upon which side
tbe eyes soonest disappeared, and
the nose first became swollen and
sanguiferous; we only know that,
however fierce tbe fight, it Bettled
nothing but the fighters, over whose
prostrate forms no angel, winged or
wingle3, of any respectability, shed
a sinarle tear.
Careless Marrying-.
The Providenes Journal refers to
the careless facility with which cler
gymen often perform tbe marriage
ceremony for any man who conies
with a woman on his arm and a fee
in his hand, and it was a mistake to
repeal the old law which required the
publication of the banns of marriage.
An exception to the custom to which
it alludes is as follows: "This matter
is brought to our notice by the very
proper conduct of a clergyman cf this
city who was waited upon last week
by two candidates for matrimonial
felicity, and in the course of the in
quiries which he deemed it proper
to make be readily discovered that
tbe man was under tbe influence of
strong liquor, and ho told hira that
he would not marry him. 'Why
not?' stammered tbe expectant bride
groom. 'Because ycu are drunk;
come here sober and I will decide
wbcll.tr I vvi:'. marry you crnct; bnt
ia ycurprescLt condition you ar
not'fit to enter intoasolemu engage
ment.' The man refused to leave
t il the ceremony was performed, but
I.- ; r ' ' .:? the minister belonged
t the ehurch militact, snd be made
a hasty retreat with a boot close be
hind him. Doubtless be found some
body to marry him."
