James ifailretjf Maryland*
married, at
tied neaif’!Brylnf« Staeido, in the «ildsoC
Kentucky. Like roost pioneers of tbewest;
he had cut down the eanef buiU a cabin,
deftdeped ibe.timber. -cwi&W** 6*14 *

on ihe 17lb day of August ITB2* Those©
had descended; a plea«tiu bseew> wan play
iog IbrO’ ibo 'sofrooudingytooo, Hbo cans
boftCdtmderit* influence; and the abroad
leaves of coin wftved in t|ift cabin. ,
Morgan had seated himself in tbe.doot of
his cabin, with hia 'infenl on bin knee. , His
yonng and happy wilfcjwd laW aside the
spioning>wMet,aod washeajiy cagaged in
preparing (he frugal meal, : ,Thai afternoon
he accidentally found-a handle of letters
which he had finished reading to bis wife be
fore he had taken his seal in the door. It
was a correspondence in which they had
acknowledged an early and ardent attachment
to each other, and the perusal left evident
traces of-joy in the faces of both; the little
infant, too, seemed to partake ol its kind pa
rents feelings, by cheerful smiles, playful hu
mor and infantile caresses.
While thus agreeably employed, the re
port of a rifle was heard; another, followed
in quick succession- Morgan sprung to his
feet, bis wife ran to the door, and they
simultaneously exclaimed, Indians I The
door was instantly barred, and the next in
stant their fears were realized by a bold and
spirited attack of a smalt party of Indians.
The cabin could not be successfully de
fended, and time was precious. Morgan,
cool, brave and prompt, soon decided.—
While lie was in the act of concealing her
under the floor, a mother’s feeling overcame
her; she arose, seized the infant, but was
afraid that its cries would betray its place of
concealment. She hesitated, gazed silently
upon it; a momentary struggle between du
ty and affection took place. She once more
pressed her child to her bosom, and again
kissed it «iih impassionate tenderness. The
infant, alarmed at the profusion of tears fhat
fell upon its cheeks, looked in its mother’s
face, threw its little arms around her neck,
and wept aloud. In the name of Heaven,
Eliza, release the child, or be lost! said the
distracted husband, in a soft imploring tone,
as he forced the infant from his wife, hastily
look up his gun, knife, and hatchet, ran up
the ladder to gel to the chamber, and drew it
after him. In a moment the door was burst
open, and the savages emlered.
By this time Morgan bad secured his
child in a bog, and lashed it to his back, and
then throwing off some clapboards from the
cabm roof, he resolutely leaped to the ground.
He was assailed by two Indians. As the
first approached, he kndtked him down wilh
the bull end of his gun. The other advanced
wilh uplifted tomahawk ; Morgan let fall his
gun and closed in.
The savage made a blow, missed, but
served the cord that bound the infant to his
back, and it fell. The contest over the child
now became warm and fierce, and was cor
ned on with knives only. ITte robust and
athletic Morgan at length got the ascendan
cy ; both were badly cut, and bled freely,
but the slabs of the white man were deeper
and deeper, and the savage fell to the earth.
Morgan hastily look up the child and hurried
off.
The Indians in the house, basely engaged
m drinking and plundering, were not ap
prised of the contest in the yard until the one
that had been knocked down gave signs of
returning life, was discovered, immediately
pursued, and a dog put upon his trail. Op
erated upon by all the feelings of a husband
and a father, he moved with all the speed of
a hunted slag, bnl the dog kepi in close pur
suit. Finding it impossible to elude
the cunning afijmat, trained to hunts of this
kind, he halledland wailed till ft came within
a few yards ofihim, fired and brought him to
the ground.
In a short time he reached the house of his
brother, who resided near Bryants Station,
at Lexington, where he left the child, and the
brothers left for the dwelling. As they ap
proached, light broke upon his view; he
steps quickened, his fears increased, and the
most agonizing apprehensions crowded upon
his mind. Emerging from the cane brake,
he behold his house in flames and almost
burnt to the ground. My wife Ihe exclaimed,
as he pressed on hand to his forehead, and
grasped the fence with the other to support
his tottering frame, I He gazed on the ruin
and desolation before him, advanced a few
paces, and fell exhausted to the earth.
Morning came, and the luminary of HeaV
«n arose and still found him seated near (lie
expiring embers. In his right hand he be|d
a small stick, with which he was tracing the
name of Eliza pn the ground, and his left
hand lay on his favorite dog by his aide:
looking first on the ruin and then on his dog,
with evident signs of grief, Morgan arose.—
The two brothers now .made search, and
found some bones burned to ashes, which
they gathered and silently confined to the
mother earth, beneath the high, 'spreading
branches of a venerable oak consecrated by
the purest and holiest recollections.
Several days alter (his, Morgan was en
gaged in a desperate battle at the Lower
Bine Licks. The Indians came off victori
ously, and the surviving whiles retreated ac
cross the Licking, pursued by the enemy for
• distance of six and thirty miles. James
Morgan was among the last who crossed
the river, and was in the rear until the bill
was descended. As he beheld the Indians
re-pppear on the ridge, ho felt and saw his
wrongs and recollected the lovely object of
his a flections, lie urged Ids horse and pres
a«d to the front. While in the acl of leap-

Itwas now midnight,

left the little ground. Morgan tvas'seated
at the foot of. the oak, its (rank supporting
his head, The tagged and, uneven ground
that surrounded him was covered with the
slain, the once while and projecting rocks,
bleached by the son and tain for centuries,
warn crimsoned with blood that Rktf Warmed
the heart and animated the bosom of the sol
dier.
The pple glimmering of the moon occa
sionally threw a faint light upon the mang
led bodies of the dead; then a passing cloud
enveloped all io darkness, and gave addition
al terror to the feeble cries of a few still ling
ering in the last agonies of protracted death,
rendered doubly appalling by the hoarse
growl of the bear, the loud howling of the
wolf, and the shrill and varied notes of the
wild cat ond the panther, feeding on the dead
and dying. Morgan beheld the scene with
heart-rending sensations, and looked forward
with the apathy of despair on his own
end.
A large, ferocious looking bear, covered
all over with blood, now approached him;
he threw himself on the ground, and silently
commended his soul to heaven, and, in breath
less anxiety, awaited his fate. The satiated
animal slowly passed without noticing him,—
Morgan raised his head and was about to of
fer his (hanks for his unexpected preserva
tion, when the cry of a pack of wolves
opened upon him, and awakened him too
sense of danger. He placed his hands over
his eyes, fell on his face, and in silent agony
awaited his fate.
He now heard a rustling in tbo bush
es, steps approached, a cold chill ranr ovc
him.
Imagination, creative, busy imagination,
was actively employed; the most horrible
waited him; his limbs would id all proba.
bilily be torn from him, and he devoured
alive, lie felt a touch; the vital spark was
olmost extinguished. Another touch, more
violent than the first, and he was turned over.
The cold sweat ran down iff torrents; his
hand* were violently forced from; his face.—'
The moon had passed from under a cloud;
a faint ray beamed upon him, l|is eyes un
voluntarily opened, and he beheld his wife,
who, in a scarcely audible voice,'exclaimed ;
My husband 1 my husband! anjl fell upon
his bosom.
Morgan now learned from his wife that
after the Indians entered the house, they found
some spirits, of which they drank freely.—
An altercation soon took place; one of them
received la mortal slab and fell; the blood
ran through the floor on her. Believing it to
be the blood of her husband, she shrieked
aloud, and thus betrayed the place of h'er
concealment. She was instantly taken and
bound, The parly, after setting fire to the
house, proceeded to Bryant’s Station.
On the day of the batlleofthe Blue Licks,
a, horse with a saddle .and bridle rushed by
her, which she knew to be her husband’s,—
During the action the prisoners were left un,
guarded r made , their escape abd lay con
cealed beneath some bushes.near the bank of
the river. After the Indiana had returned
from the pursuit, and left the battle ground,
she with some other persons who escaped
with her, determined!® make search for their
friends, and if on the Geld, and living, to
save them, if possible, from the beasts of
prey. After searching Tor some time, and
almost despairing of success, she fortunately
discovered him.
Tha party of Capt. Logan Found Morgan
and his wife, and restored them to their
friends, their infant and their home.

A Certain old gentleman had three sons,
the two eldest were remarkable for their fil
ial piety and obedience, and were consequent
ly beloved oy all who knew them. The
youngest, on the contrary, was an incorrigi
ble scapegrace, and was hated as much as
tho others' Were loved. The Old gentleman
in the common course of human events, got
sick, and assembled his family about him, to
have his will read in their presence. It w«is
os follows—‘*To my eldest son, William, J

which William exclaimed, “Father 1 hope

son also replied in the same manner as the
first,' “Father, I hope you may live longstad
happy to enjoy it yourself.” Then turning
to the youngest, who'was waiting in silent
anticipation for his division of the property,
he said, “And «* for you, yon profligate
scoundrel, Meave you a shilling to buy ft rope

come so numerous as to dealty all vegetation.
The feathered tribes beep dowttiheirincrease
to aeafe limit, and would thus: preserve a just
balance in nature hot for the wanton propen
sity of man ta destroy the bifds.A gun may
be foumtln almost every' farm house in the
country, and, while it is useful for some pur
poses, it destroys anff frightens away the best
friends of the husbandman- -They not only
greet him with their morning songs, and de
light him with their gay plumage, their infi
nite variety and their .active and sprightly
industry, but they protect his crops from the
increase of vermin that would destroy (hem.
If they devour a few bushels of his grain
(hey compensate him for it by preventing the
destruction of ten-times more than they claim
os their own reward.
Were wo a farmer we would cultivate the
birds as assiduously os we would the domes lie/.
fowls, and would welcome them to an undis-i
Curbed home in our neighborhood. Their
morning melodies are mare delightful lima
the best serenade of a city band. Their cheer
ful activity gives life to the orchards, the fields
and the forests. They ate pleasant and
harmless friends of man, and their wanton
destruction is not only cruel, but most injuri
ous to the farmer and gardener.
But strong as the reasons are that demand
an increase of the feathered tribes, man with
his murderous gun pursues them until in thick
ly settled.regions they are almost extermina
ted. - Were the uses of these birds understood,
and theirmelody, their innocence, and their
beauty duly appreciated, the guns of the ur
chins and the sportsmen would almost as soon
be aimed at the domestic fowls. A writer in
the Gennesue Farmer, an excellent agricul
tural journal, has the following just remarks
on this subject :
Suppose .the Slate of New York bad a
thousand robins where it now has one, how
many catlerpillars, moths, worms, grubs, and
other veracious insects would these birds con
sume? if public opinion were only enlight
ened on this subject so ns to protect all in
sectivorous birds, we should soon cease to
complain ot curcuiios, weevils, peach tree and
apple tree borers, peabugs, and a hundred
garden bugs, flies, snails, grass hoppers, lo
custs, cotton and tobacco worms. We have
had opportunities for studying most of these
depredators, and regard the unnatural destruc
tion of birds, or their expulsion from all so
called civilized communities, as the principal
cause of the increase of insects.
Let us study Nature and observe how
nearly ell the feathered tribes, with which we
are familiar, batch their young at that season
of the year when insects and their larva
most abound, when so many millions are dai
ly consumed to feed the voracious broods of
m pidiy growing birds. In Maryland and Vir
ginia large flocks of turkeys are reared , ex
pressly to be driven through tobacco fields by
children M lo worm the crops.” A turkey,
from the time it is large enough to eat a
worm till it attains its full growth, will con
sume an incredible number of insects, and
forcibly illustrates an important law. Barn
yard fowls, doves, and pigeons, may also he
cultivated at a profit. -
Were it not for the fed that insects devour
each other, and are destroyed in countless
numbers every year by birds, they might soon
accumulate to such an.extent os to sweep ev
ery vestige of vegetation from thefeceof the
earth. The extermination of all the feath
ered tribes in- wanton sport, and in ignorance
of Nature’s laws, would tend rapidly towards
such a result; There are very few birds that
do harm, and (heir mischief can he preven
ted by far better weans than by killing them.
It should be made a penal offence to kill a
harmless bird, for it is a public injury. Nor
Is the injury in the aggregate »-trifling one.
Taking this whole country together the birds,
by destroying the insects and vermin, save
food enough each year to feed a city os large
aa Pittsburg. Let every farmer cultivate
birds, encourage their free and unmolested
use of his forests and fields, and their rapid
multiplication in his neighborhood. They
will help to protect his crops, and increase
their'quantity.. They may commit some dep
redations hut they -will do for him tenfold more
gOdtf thau harm. , '
Nature’s God has adjusted a nice balance
amongtlllivipg things, and far advise and
beneficent purpose. If there were no insects
and Worms fbe rankofess'of vegetation would
eobh exhaust the soil. If there wa4 no check
to the multiplication of insects and vermin
they would,soon destroy all Vegetation. The
birds are the check. If mankind for mere
wanton sport destroys tho birds the insects
and vermin increase, and the crops are con
sequently reduced.‘ Birds fit for food may be
kilted for that purpose. Dot such as are not
used for food should not be destroyed.

Gentlemen, thefeuwas a'time—l. mush to

miserahla creature you would hardly expert
to find. Every' I foiled hard, and at
night I came to my, comfortless garreUrnb
carpel, no fire, noooihing. Everything was
in a clutter, and in the words of the poet—
“Confoaion was monarch of all ba surveyed.”
Here lay a pair Of pants, tfieto a dirty
pair of boots, there a play-bill,' and here a
pile of dirty clothes. What wonder that I
took refuge at the gamingtable and bar-room.
I found it would never do, gentlemen, and
in a lucky moment,T Vowed to Yelbrrit.—
Scarcely had the promise passed my lips,
when a knock was heard ot the door, and in
came Susan Simpkins after my dirty clothes.
“Mr. Splicer,” says she, “I’ve washed
for you sis months, and I haven't seen the
first red cent in the way of payment. Now,
I’d like to know what you are going to do
about it ?”
1 felt for pay pocket-book. There was
nothing in it, and I knew it well enough.
“Miss Simpkins,” says I. “it’s no use of
denying it, 1 haven’t got the pewter. 1 wish
for your sake i had,”
“There,” said she, promptly, “I don’t
wash another rag for you.”
“Stop,” said 1. “Susan, I will do what
I Can for you. Silverand gold I have none;
but if my heart and hand will do, they are
at your service,”
“Are you in earnest f’ says she, looking
a little suspicious.
"Never more so,” says I.
“Then,” says she, "as there seems to be
no prospect of getting ray pay any other
way, I guess I*ll lake up with your offer.”
“Enough said.” We were married in a
week, and what’s more, we haven't repeat*
ed it. No more antics forme, gentlemen.—
I lire in a good house, and have somebody
to mebd my. clothes. When 1 was a poor,
miserable bachelor, gentlemen, 1 used to be
as thin as a weasel. Now I am as plump as
a poker.
In conclusion, gentleman, if you want to
be a poor ragged devil, without a coat to
your back or n shoo to your foot; if you
want to grow old before you time, and as un
comfortable, generally, as a “hedgehog rolled
up the wrong way,” I advise you to remain
a bachelor; but if you want to live decently
and respectably, [overpowering applause,]
and you may have your pick.

plaudits. The generous proposal with which
he concluded secured him five sons-in-law.

A Mysterious Transaction.
We have been favored with the particulars
of a very strange affair in (he township of
Salem, this county, so far as those in that
section, affected by tho transaction, are per
mitted to know the whys apd wherefores of
the mystery.
Several weeks ago, Mr. Curtis, one of the
most upright atid honorable men of the town*'
ship, received a brief letter, without' date or
signature, printed with a peD, purporung to
have been mailed at Philadelphia, enclosing
one hundred and twa dollars, io good bank
bills; with a request that he would distribute
the money to about fifty different individuals
mostly neighbors, a list of the names being
appended, and the amount going to each, set
opposite the name respectively. - Mr. Curtis
upon consultation with a few friends, conclu
ded to make the distribution io good faith,
and~we learn he has nearly or quite comple
ted tho task. Judging from the residences
and ages of the persons named, it would ap
pear that the list had been made froht'k’ome
data going back about twenty years, as at
that time most if not all of the tpen, were
hvin<' within a radius of six or seven mites.
Several of tho list are now dead, and in,such
cases, Mr. CurO* pay* the money to the wid
otvs, or to those authorized to settle the es
tates. No word nor circumstance connected
with the letter gives any intimation 0 f ,j, e
source of the money, or the cauBe of its dis
tribution. It can have no benevolent mean
ing, as many of the recipients, and those re
ceiving the largest sums ere men of Wealth.
It can not have a social meaning, as scarcely
any two items are of alikeatnount, and aa no
party to the transaction, or any one else
thereabouts, can imagine whence os wby.lho
money is thus dispoied of. amounts
named for different persons vary, and are
made op with an odd number of cents. Some
received only 63 cents, others eleven dollars
and odd cents. The Isum total of the items
full eighty cents short of the money enclosed,
thus leaving purposely that amount W Mr.
Curtis for his services in making the distribu
tion. When the money was paid out as di
rected, llte writer of the letter said, he would
be heard from again-
Who can solve this mysterious business?

Effects ot Laughter on the Circu
lation of the Blood.
Wardrop, on Diseases of the Heart, says
that the deep inspirations and the short and
frequent expirations made in the act of laugh
ing, having a direct influence on the heart,
increasing the quantity of blood within the
cavities in the same manner as the quantity
within these is increased by muscular con
tractions, This condition of the heart, as
might be anticipated, will vary in proportion
to the violence and duiation of the parox
ysms of laughter. When these are mode
rate, tbe mina is onty exhilarated, or, to use
a common expression, “the heart,becomes
joyful;” but if laughing be increased or pro
longed beyond certain limits, a sdries of ef
fects, more or less injurious, frequently su
pervene. Pain in the cardiac region and
headache then come out, and if the paroxysm
be immoderate, the quantity of blood impelled
into the brain is such that the intellectual
powers become greotly excited, and some
times to such a degree as to cause their tem
porary aberation. Even convulsions follow
immoderate fits of laughter, and I have known
death to take place from excessive laughter
caused by tilillalion.
A disturbed action of the bean is usually
observed in those affected with hysterics,
which may account for the paroxysms of
laughter, the risus aardonicus, the hiccup, and
all tbe remarkable phenomena which are
characteristic of that disease.
Laughter, indeed, greatly disturbs a heart
which is already irritable. .This was strik
ingly exemplified in a person who had a dis
ease of tho heart, ana could not indulge in
laughing, without the increased action of the
heart by which it was accompanied, always
causing violent headache.
Tlic Races.
From a capital lecture by Theodore Par
ker, on the races of mankind, we collect the
following interesting facts. He commences
bis remarks by slating that ibis subject was
the character and relations of the Anglo-Sax
on tribe. Philosophers divide mankind into
five races, but (he location of each is not pos
itively determined. Each continent bee its
typical color. Thus Africa has black people,
black monkeys, and black elephants ; Asia
has yellow men and yellow horses; Europe
has white men, white horses, and other white
animals *, America has red men and red ani
mals.
The Caucasian is the stronger race, dnvo
ted to progress, and all iis men visit alt other
countries, it has furbished nearly all learn*
ing, oil poetry and art. Nearly Oil the great
leaders of religion are Caucasian. Three
fourths of all the iron, snd seven-eights of (ho
shipping of the world are in its hands.
The Anglo Saxon race has for its leading
charncierisiio aggressive thirst for land. It
is more widely spread than any other tribe.
They hove gone down deep in the mines, as*
cended higher, and spread farther than any
other. Not three hundred years ago there
were lew than three millions of this race,
now there are forty aiillion> r The; bold pos
session of one sixth of ibe world, and rule
one hundred and eighty millions of other
races. 'The Anglo Saxon is a keen observer
of facts, but knows and cares little for abstract
(ruth or for genuine principles; he has im
mense practical power, bat little ideality; he
is more moral than pious.
The Anglo Saxon has a great fljturo before
him, with a magnificent horizon, and is des
tined to a great work in the world. Its work
will he first, (0 furnish a physical base for
progression { second, (he spread oi inteUec
tual fight; third, establish throughout the
World free institutions,

The vide and commit stream -of emigra
tion to our shots* seriously effects our mooba
flic*. They are a class wbichsboold always
be protected aint sustained—employed and
. handsomely paid. Men* or those
to he such, come to our shores; -mechanics
often but in name, and bring their low stan
dard of wages, and still lower gradeof work
manship. These things all tend to .injure
American Mechanics, who are skilful, end
who wilt not, can not and ought not work lor
next to nothing. We marvel much that any
good, patriotic, policy.goTernibg.man should
ever give employment to these half ({edged
aliens, and thereby taking so much from what
seems due to the American Mechanic, We
are for employing our own mechanics, - bet
us be just, generous, dutiful. If an Ameri
can workman is worth a given price, then
give it to him even though a snealuDg, povßr
ly-loaded foreigner does come in and’ 'under
cut. Here in America we do not want to
drive mechanics into drudging mechanics, end
feed them on husks and swill-—but make-and
keep them as they are, on a footing with the
best, well fed, well educated, well paid welt
to-do every way. , „

It is elated that Bishop Doane, of IfewJer
sey, is strongly opposed, to temperance.' A
short time since. Rev, Mr. Perkins, of the
same denomination, and a member of the
order of .'‘Sons," dined with the Bishop, who,
pouring out a glass of wine, desired the' rev.
erend gentleman to drink with him, whereup.
on he replied;
•‘Can’t do it. Bishop, ‘wine is a,mocker.’”
“Take a glass of brandy, then," said the
distinguished ecclesiastic.
“Can’t do it, Bishop, stfottg drink » .ra

By this time the Bishop, becoming some
what restive end excited, said to Mr. Per
kins:
“yon'll pass the decanter to ihn gentleman
neat to you,"
“No, Bishop, I can’t do that, "woe unto
him that puttelh the bottle to his neighbors
lips.’”

proceedings, our informant did not state.
