0, ere my heart ha's learned to know
The fearful depths of human woe, •
Ere friends I luve have proved untrue,
Trusted, perchance, fur lung years through,
NV In e life is glad as spring's warm breath,.
I'd yield it to the angel Death !
Ere I have taught my heart deceit,
Wait words of friendlyness to meet,
And 'schooled my face to wear a smile,
When my heart scorned that one the while
0, let me die ! And o'er my tomb
The flowers of love forever bloom
I would not live to God Hope's gleam
But the wild fancy of a wilder dream;
I would not live to gaze upon
The cold form of each dear loved one ;
Tu live, to know myself to be
The last leaf on the dying tree !
For Q, to lay them in the tomb,
With all its silence and dread - gloom, ,
Were not so hard as %were to meet;
One whom we loved, as strangers meet;
The living dead,—O, worse by far,
Than real deaths and farewells are !
Yes let me die, cre friends grow co!J,
Ere hearts that beat with mine of old
Sh a ll lose all kindred hope orthrill,
And yet doomed to be near me still;
While hope is mine, ete life knows gloom,
1 would lay the down in the silent tomb
The Q.uakei of the Olden Time.
The Quaker of the 01de.2 lime !
How calm, how firm, ho true;
Unspotted by its wrong and criale,

The, lust of power, the lure of gain,
The thousand lures of tiu
Around him, had no power :o stain
With that deep insight, which detects

He walked b y truth and nut by sight,
By love and not by law,
The pre,ettee of the wrung or right
He rather felt than saw.
He felt that wrong with wrung partakes,
That nothing stands alude,
That whosu gives the motive, makes
His brother's sin his own.
And, pausing not for daubtful choice
Of evils great or small,
He listened to that inward voice
Which called away from all.
Oh ! Spirit of that early day,
Su pure and strong and true,
Be with us in the narrow way
Our faithful fathers knew,
Give strength the evil to forsake,
'The cross of Truth to bear,
And love and reverent fear to make
Our daily lives a prayer!

The Indian Lover.
Many years ago, when the people began
gradually to move onwatd from the crowded
cities, to bring into ,cultivation seine of the
untouched forests, and to fulfil their destiny
in the commencement of cultivating this vast
continent, a band of hardy pioneers settled
themselves down in 'one of the fertile spots
of Western Virginia. To the location of
their infant settlement they gave the name of
Fisher's Hollow, evidently suggested by the
appearance of the place. It lay in a small
valley, surrounded on every side by undu
lating hills, upon which already might be
seen the clearing which the axes of the sett
lers had begun to make, and the smite of
the cottage curling abovoothe dark' green
trees. A swift brook, descending from its
mountain source, gurgled and splashed over
its stony bed, and the dark summits of the
Cumberland mountains in the distance added
all that was wanting to make the scene ro
tnantie, and picturesque.
The baud of hardy men, who had made
this place their bottle were, perhaps, for the
most part, insensible to the beauties which
would have thrown many a sentimental tou
rist into ccstacies of pleasure; they had other
things of far greater Importance 'to them to
occupy their attention. Surroundedby tribes
of savages who looked upon the encroach
ments of the whites with dislike, and whose
friendship .could not be counted upon for a
moment at a time ; and moreover cut off by
distance and want of good roads from a fre
quent intercourse 'with large towns, they
had to be by iurns manufacturers, farmers,
hunters, and, if there was to bo any fight-
mg done, they had to be soldiers too. Such
a state of things is not very favorable to the
gentler and more intellectual tendencies of
our nature ; but still the natural beauties of
Fisher's Hollow wore not without an influ
ence upon the rugged men who resided
here and amonu theilt were to be seen farms
ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., MAY 10. 1854.
who, while in their physical developments
they had no superiors, yet in their tempers
and dispositions were mild, brave and gen
erous to a fault.
Such a character tvas 'Hobert Effinger.—
To the cultivation of a few acres of laud, he
added the trade of blacksmith, and had a
swan house with a workshop adjoining, sit
uaied upon the banks of the brook. It was
here the villagers had their most popular
place of resort when they felt an inclination
to hear any foreign news, for the place was
fortunate in having no taverns at this period
of its history.
It was a line morning in the month of May,
when, the trees began to show their lively
green, and the wild flowers to spring up
among the thick and tangled underwood that
a young man, in the homespun dress of the
back wood hunter, stood at the smithy. Fin
ding he was unnoticed, he rested his hands
upon the barrel of his long rifle with a good
natured admiration of the young workman
within. And well he might, for, as if exci
ted with his task and rejoicing in his strength
the smith drew his brawny arms about, and
made the sparks Hy trout the Heated iron
with every stroke of his ponderous hammer
and seemed the very personification of ath
letic vigor and manly strength. in the course
of his evolutions, however, he noticed the in
truder, and smiling at the intentness of his
observation, he stopped his work, and ad
dressed him, good hunaoredly.
.So, so, Bill, at your old tricks, as usual ;
off to the woods, to waste your time, and do
nothing but shoot a little game ; when are
you going to settle down and become a peace
able citizen like myszllr
'Ha. ha, laughed the hunter, 'settle down
indeed ! 11;1, ha, I love the free woods too ,
much for that; it gives me the same pleasure I
to roam there and to exercise my limbs, as it
evidently gives you to throw your brawny
arms about with that great ugly hammer and
as for being peaceable, you are just as ready
for a brush as the best a Lid.'
well, you are about right, I must
confess; but what du you say to coming and
Ww.urog Mt! mtau zuineu:neel In
a little while I think I could make a good
smith of you, and there is moru work than
the pair of us could du.'
.That's not a bad idea,' said Charley Bash,
the hunter ; 'but,' he continued looking up
the road, 'what's the matter now?'
Robert, with the heavy hammer still in
his hand, come quickly to die door, and then
tiltt• cause cf his companion's remark was
soon apparent, for a young girl. in the fi rst
b:corn of womanhood, was running rapidly
twvalds !he place where they were standing.
In her hanelz.: she held a string of flowers,
bound together l ' or the purpose of forming a
wreath, hut her hair was flowing loosely and
in disorder down her back and her whole
appearance bare the marks of some strange
and su Aden fright. When she came up to
them, at first she was too much flurtied to
speak; but, after a little while, gaining breath
she told them that, enticed by the beauty
of the morning, alto bud been out into the
woods to gather some of the early flawers,
and while thus engaged, had been started
be the appearance of three savages. It was
true they had not °tiered her any violence ;
indeed the words one of them addressed to
her were expressive of admiration, if she
might judge from his looks ; but she was tea
much disturbed to understand what was
meant, but immediately ran away as fast as
she could. To add weight and confirma- .
tion to her statement, the subject of her
fear were seen leisurely Makng towards the
spot where the speaker stood.
'Don't be afraid, Sarah,' said Effinger, as
he saw an expression of dread upon her fea
tures ; they'cannot hurt you here ; and let
us here what they have to say for them
, selves ; they are from a friendly tribe.'
'Yes,' remarked Bush, should just like
to see them do you any harm, how easy I
could put a bullet through them ; but the
best policy is to be as friendly to them as
possible.'
The Indians gradually approached the
place where the three stood. Two of them
were ordinary looking men, as frightful as
paint could possibly make, but the other had
a striking and even handsome countenance
and a body of proportions that evinced ha.
mense muscular strength .
'The daughter of the pale face,' said he
in 'a soothing; tone of voice, 'need not flee
from the sight of Attalba. Her form is more
beautiful than the young fawn, or the wild
flowers that grow by the stem. Attallaa is
the hero of his tribe ; there is plenty in his
lodge—but it is vacant, and if the daughter
of the pale face will consent to be his wife,
Attalba will be her slave, and her life shall
be as happy us the joyful song of summer
birds.'
Sarah, at this sudden oiler, crept, closer to
Effinger for protection, and he, coloring
with a feeling of jealousy rather than anger
answered—'
•Indians," the daughters of the whites
mingle not their blood with that of the red
men ; our manners, our habits, our lives,
are different. Let each of us follow the
tribe in which he was born, and let each of
us work out fiis destiny in peace.'
The Indian's eyes, uptin the reception of
this specoh, shot forth some most revenge-
ful gleams, but with the sceming stoical in
difference for which these people have al
ways been remarkable, he motioned to his
companions, and together they immediate
ly departed.
Sarah and Effinger .had for some time
been betrothed lovers, and in the mutual hap
piness they felt in each other's society, this
meeting and the fears it was calculated to
engender, were soon forgotten. Time for
them did not fly along on leaden wings, but
with the richest plumes arid surrounded by
a crowd of the rosiest hours.
Not . so did it speed along with the Indi
an. Accustomed as he had been to the sight
of rude, careless woman, treated in many
instances almost worse than beasts of bur
den, the beauty and grace of the white girl
had burst upon his presence like a vision
front some brighter land. The shaft of love
had pierced deeply into his heart. A feel
ing, which he could not at first understand,
had taken possession of his nature. The
woods, the streams, the excitement of the
chase, the deeds of war in which he had
gained so many scalps, and risen to be chief
tain of his tribe ,had lost for him their charm.
hus for a long time he drooped in Intlidi.
sontutre ; out at length a plan oc
curred to him by which his fame might be
increased and his highest hope realized.—
'llls was, to make a sudden am! treacher
ous onslaught upon the infant settlement,
and to take the white girl prisoner.
In the execution of this project, however,
he had more difficulties to encounter than
he first imagined, for the tribe had gained
some advantages by having a peaceable set
tlement of industrious men near them ; and
their naturally shrewd minds did not see
that any good could be gained by an open
rupture. Hero Attalba found his personal
influence and eloquence of the greatest use,
and by pointing out the encroachments oil
the whites—and how by stealth, they were
driving the men to distant hunting orounds
hegradually roused the jealousy of his tribe
and thepassions of their savage nature, ea
sily, excited to scenes of cruelty and war.—
Tho preparatons were soon made, and af
ter their usual dances and customs, ueture
setting out upon such expeditions were per
formed, more• thou a hundred warriors,—the
flower oe:the tribe—pressed forward on their
match, to carry death and destruction to the
homes that were resting in security and
pence.
But for one circumstance the annals of
Fisher's Hollow would have soon been
closed. Bush had been from home longer
than was his usual custom, and fortunately,
when thinking of returning, he came upon
the Indians ; and with the usual caution of
the back-woods-men, without being discov
erej himself, perceived that all of them were
hastening to the village with a hostile in
tent. Ile waited to know no more, but
made all th ,, pos, , ,itdy could, to in
form hi s o r tie .i;•te.••#* and to pre
pare for the encounter. Tin, danger was
most unexpected ; but, in a short time about
twenty men were soon ready for service ;
and armed with the deadly rifle, they posted
themselves in the wood by. which the set
tlement must first be approached.
The Indians advanced• with the crafty
stealthiness for which they have always
been renowned, and the first sign - they had
that their designs very discovered, was front
a well directed volley of the concealed rifle
men, which laid many of their best Men
low. The battle then commenced in earn
est.. But the arrows of the savage could do
but little execution, and in a short time it
was easy to perceive how the fight would
terminate. Attalba knew that the day was
lost, but his jealous eye, discerning under
the cover of a tree, a form that he had long
hated, he determined that one of the pas
sions of his nature should at least be satis
fied, or his life should , pay the forfeit. To
fulfil his purpose he left his companions to
take their chance, and cautiously made 'his
way through the underwood. -
Effinger, hadJjnst discharged his piece
when the savage sprang from his conceal
ment,. and struck at him with his uplifted
tomahawk. The blow was warded off with
the rifle, and then the men clung together,
and grappled with each other iri an em
' brace which each felt to be deadly. Both
were men of tall stature, large proportions
and well developed limbs; and as they
i swayed to and for the intenseness of
their struggle, it was difficult to see which
' would be the gainer in the strife. Effinger,
however, proved to be weaker; and falling
down, exhausted with the efforts he had
madti, the Indian, with his 'powerful knees,
'pinned him on the ground. And now the
exulting passions of the victor seemed to
gain entire mastery of his ,nature. Instead
of taking immediate revenge upon his ene
my, he began to recount the deeds he had
performed, the victories ho had won, and to
taunt him with cowardice, and with the
death he would soon die.
It was in one of these paroxysms of rage
when his arms were thrown madly about,
and his eyes were upturned towards the sky,
with the seeming wildness of insanity, that
Effinger; by an imperceptible movement ;
released his right hand, and with the quick-
ness of lightning; snatched a knife form his
belt, and plunged it 'into the Indian's heart.
FARN
Without a groan the painted warrior fell
back a lifeless corpse among the withered
leaves of the forest.
A short time after these occurrences, Ef
tiger and Sarah were married, and the In
dians, never recovering from their discomfi
ture, departed to more distant hunting
grounds, and left the inhabitania of Vislie'r's
Hollow in undisturbed possession of their
lands.
Walter Scott's Advice to his Sons
"I cannot too much impress on your mind
that labor is the condition that Uod has im
posed. on us in every station of life. 'There
is nothing worth having that can be had
without it, from the bread which the pea
sant wins by the sweat on his brow to the
sports with which the rich man gets rid of
his money. The only difference betwixt
them is the poor roan labors to get his din
ner to appease Ins appetite—the rich to get
an appetite for his dinner.
"As for knowledge, it can ne more be
planted in the human mind, without labor,
than a field of wheat can be produced with
out the previous use of the plow. There is,
1. . LIAM. LIMIII.AIUI
circumstance may so cause it that another
shall reap what the farmer sows ; no man
can be deprived, whether by accident cr mis-,
fortune, of the fruits of his own studies; and
the liberal and extended acquisition of knowl
edge which he makes are all for his own
use. Labor, therefore, my dear boy, and im
prove the time. In youth our steps are
light and our minds are ductile, and knowl
edge is easily laid up. But if we neglect
our spring, our summer will be useless and
contemptible, our harvest will be chaff, and
the winter of our age paresPected and des
olate.
"Again : Read, my dear son, read and
read that which is useful. Man tlifiZ!rs from
birds and beasts, because he has the means
of availing of the knowledge acquired by his
predecessors. The swallow builds the store
nest which its father and its mother built,
and the sparrow does not improve by ex
perience of its parents. The son of the
cameo pfg, it IL use uue, Wt./Ull-1 uc U
brute fit only to make bacon of. • It is not so
with the human race. Our ancestors lod
ged in caves and wigwams, where we con
struct palaces for the rich and comfortable
dwellings for the poor and why is this but
because our eye is enabled to look back upon
the past, to improve upon our ancestors' im
provements. and to avoid their errors 1—
This can only be done by studying history,
and comparing it with passing events.
Adventures at a Masked Ball.
One of the adventures of the lasi ball is
worth mentioning. Tho two principal ac
tors in the scene" belong to the aristocratic
Faubourg, St. Gertnian. A certain count,
availing himself of the marital privlileges
which aristocratic customs permit, left his
wile at home to go to the masked ball. The
countess would have seen no evil in the
simple act of going to spend an hour or two
at the ball, if she hod not been informed
that he went there to encounter a piquant
actress, who, it was reported, had captivated
her husband, and of whom he had declared
himself the ferquent admirer.
The countess determined to discover the
intrigue, and she therefore determined to go
to the masked ball. To succeed in' her pro.
ject, a travesty was indispensable. She took
the disgtiise pf an elegent dandy. But
young and beautiful, as wall as talented and
graceful, the countess would find it difficult
to deceive any one under her masculine dis
guise, She therefore employed a close fit
ting mask, and a light cloak, which con
cealed all her person but the foot and bot
tom of the pantaloon. Thus disguised, it
might pass for the fantasy of a boy, who
wished to find at the Sall a double pleasure,
in carrying on intrigues among his friends.
The young man made quite a sensation ;
but he seemed desirous of finding sonic
one in the assemblage, and, guided 'by a
confident in his secret, who was devoted to
his projects, he soon found the handsome i
actress, and commenced the attack from un
der the mask. She listened at first negli
gently, but the confident took occasion to
whisper in her ear.
.That is a young Russian prince of eigh
teen years, handsome as Adonis, and im
mensely rich.'
Nothing more was needed to make the ac
tress forget her word with the count. She
manoeuvered so cunningly that she man
aged to steal away, although she had prom•
iced to sup with him, and she went to the
Cale Anglais to take supper with the Rus
sian prince.
Scarcely had they installed themselves in
n cabinet, when some one knocked at the
door. . No response was made, but the door
