ALLENTOWN, P
THE
Maiden with Golden Hain
Dr OLIVER. 3. I.ELS.ND
Many, many years ago, near by the old Ab
bey of Chenes, there was a fountain, a little
fountain, which went rippling, rippling along
laughingly, through the flowers and the fresh
green grass.
In the fountain, a large willow bathed its
long green hair, and under thiS willow came
Jacqueline every evening, at the hour when the
night flower opens its chalice. But Jacqueline
came not under the tree to drink of the foun
tain; for here, at the hour when the night
flower opens its chalice, came her lover, Pierre.
Pierre was a blacksmith of the country, the
handsome 'smith with the proud yet tender
glance. Aild every evening they culled with
the Caine hand, the little blue flowers which en
amelled the borders of the fountain. And
when the flowt rs were culled, Pierre would kiss
them and conceal them in the bosom of the
beautiful Jacqueline with the golden hair.
One (welling when Jacqueline came with
Pierre under the great willow tree, he grew pale
as death.. " Dearest," said she, " vow to rue
to love thy Jacqueline as long as the fountain
shall glide on." And Pierre answered, "as
long aif the fountain shall glide on, so long, and
longer, will I lovelny beautiful Jacqueline with
the golden hair."
He vowed : but one day Jacqueline stood'all
alone beneath the great willow tree. She gath
ered the little blue flowers while waiting for
him, but he came not to place them in the little
red bodice. She threw the flowers into the
6 / 1 111(11in and she thought that the fountain
wept with her. The next day she came a little
sooner and %vent away a little later. She
waited ; the nightingales were singing in the
woods., the cattle were lowing in the meadow.
She waited ; the old abbey clock sounded the
hour of the „Angeles; the miller of Nogent
chanted his joyous song.
Eight days after, Jacqueline came once more
to the fountain. She was still alone. "It is
over," said she ; it is over !" The soldiers
of the king just passed by the brookside.—
" Ali !" said she, " he has gone to the war."
IMMI
She went and knocked at the door of the
Abbey. •' It is a poor girl," said she, " who
Nvishes to love God alone."
They cut caller beautiful golden hair—they
sent back to her mother her little bodice and
herring of silver.
Yet he camp back—he, the blacksmith with
the proud eye, yet tender glance. " Jacque
line, Jacqueline, where art thou ? The foun
tAin still runs on ; it is the hour when the
white pizeons seek the dovecot, the hour when
the night INwers Open its chalice. Where art
thou, Jacqueline ? Where art thou ?" :ilnd
eve as he spoke, Pierre saw Jacqueline pass
y, arb of the nuns. Poor
Jacqueline ! she has lost her golden tai
He approached her. " Jacqueline, Jacque
line, what hast thou-done with our happiness ?
While Iwas a prisoner of war, behold thou has
descended into a living tomb. Jacqueline, dar
ling, what shall I do at my forge without thee ?
Thou, who shouldst have given to me thy smile
to cheer my heart, thy brow to embalm my
lips, thy neck on which to rest my arms. Thou
who shouldst have given to me children as
beautiful as angels, to enliven the corner of my
fireside. Already I have seen them in my
dreams, with their rosy feet, playing on their
father's knees, smiling in their mother's arms.
Adieu, Jacqueline ; adieu! I will go to• night
and bid farewell to the fountain, and to the
great willow tree, and to the little blue flow(r
And when I have said farewell to all that I
loved, I will cut me a staff in the old forest,
and I will journey into far °naiads."
That evening when Pierre 'came to Sue foun
tain, the sun was gilding with his last pale ray,
the branches of the great willow tree. It was
a huntiug day, and the baying of the dogs and
shouts of the huntsmen resounded gaily over
the Maine. When Pierre had come under the
great willow tree, he shuddered and pressed
his hand closely to his heart; for lying on the
grass, his head leaning against the stone base
of the fountain, he had seen the figure of a nun.
" Jacqueline ! Jacqueline !" falling on his
knees : and the echo from the Woods answered,
sadly, " Jacqueline ! Jacqueline !"
With fright and love be raised her in his
arms. " Farewell, dear Pierre," she said soft.
ly ; since I have prayed to God within those
gloomy convent walls, I have felt that I
was dying from hour to hour. Already am I
dead ; if my heart still beats, it is , so near to
thine. Grant me one favor, will you my dear
est ? When I am dead, bury me here. I do not
wish to return to the convent, where my heart
was frozen ; but bury me here, dear Pierre,
where I may still hear the rippling of the foun
tain and the waving of the branches of the
teat willow tree. And in the soft, sweet
evenings of the month of May, when the night.
ingale sings his tenderest lay down in the
woods, I will remember that you have loved me
well." •
Igrituffure, Rioralifq, Antuamint Market,
1..,.00T08ER 31, 1855.
She ceased, and pressing her death cold lips
for the last time upon his brow, she breathed
her soul away in that last kiss of lore. Thus
died Jacqueline, the beautiful maiden with goh:-
en hair.
The moon, just rising above the mountain
top, shed down a sweet, sad• light upon the
scene. Pierte. took her in his arms, saying to
her a thousand tender words, thinking still
that she would answer, hint. But she heard
him not. How beautiful she seemed in death,
resting her pale face upon the shoulder of her
lover, Pierre.
All theiiight long Pierre prayed to God for
the soul of his dear Jacqueline, sometimes on
his knees before the body, sometimes press
ing her wildly to his heart. At daybreak,
all sobbing, he dug her grave, lined it with the
fresh, green grass, glistening with the morning
dew, all studded with dowers and pearls. On
this funeral bed he placed Jacqueline for eter
nity. For the last time he pressed her hand,
for the last time belissed her pure white brow.
Over her body he scattered all the wild flowers
he could gather in the meadow, or at the bor
ders of the wood. Upon the wild flowers he
threw the earth—earth blessed by holy tears.
Slowly he went away. The nuns. on their
waking heard the sobs of her lover, Pierre.
Since that sad day the smith has never beaten
Iron at his forge. Since that sad day, Jacque
line has slept to the rippling of the fountain—
music sweet to her heart. And in the soft,
sweet evenings of the month of May, when the
nightingale sings her tenderest lay down there
in the woods, she remembers that Pierre has
loved her well. And to this day, you can see
the little blue flowers growing from her tomb,
which is ever green.
An Indian Execution in Michigan.
The Clinton County (Mich,) Exlu•ess publish
es the following, and vouches for its authentici
ty. It is certainly a curious history :
In different parts of Central Michigan there
arc two tribes of Indians, the Ottowas and
Chippewas. The . ) , are friendly to each other,
and during the hunting season, frequently
camp near each other. In the Fall of 1853, a
party of one tribe built• their cabins on the
banks. of 'Maple river, and at party of the
other tribe, about eighty in number, encamp
ed in what is now the -town of Dallas. It is
unnecessary to speak of their life in these
camps—suffice it to say that the days were
spent in hunting, and the nights in drinking
" fire water" and carousing. In one of the
revels at the camp on Maple river, an Indian,
maddened by liquor, killed his squaw, and to
conceal the deed threw her body upon the fire.
Recovering from.the stupor of the revel, he
saw the signs of his guilt before him, and fear
ing the wrath of his tribe, he fled toward the
lother encampment. .
His absence was noticed—the charred re
mains of the poor squaw were found, and the
cry TOT bIgQ.J was raised. The avengers were
soon upon his track—tin , pursued him to the
encampment of their neighbors=Az was found,
apprehended, and in solemn council docn - redttr
the death which, in the stern old Indian code;
is reserved for those only who shed the blood
of their kin. It was a slow, torturing, cruel
death. A hatchet was put in the victim's
hands. he was led to a large log that was hol
low, and made to assist in fixing it for his cof
fin. This was done by cutting into it some dis
tance on the top, in two places about the
length of a man apart, then slabbing of; and
digging the hollow until larger, so as to admit
his body. This done, he was taken back and
tied fast to a tree. Then they smoked and
drank of the " flre.water," and when evening
came, they kindled large fires around him, at
some distance of; but so they would shine full
upon him. And now commenced the orgies—
they drank to intoxication—they danced and
sang in their wild Indian manner, chanting the
dirge of •the recreant brave. The arrow was
fitted to the bow striog, and ever and anon
with its shrill twang it sent a missile into the
quivering flesh of the homicide ; and to heigh
ten his misery they cut off his cars and nose.
Alternately drinking, dancing, beating their
rude drums and shooting their arrows into the
victim, the night passed.
% The next day was spent in eating and drink
ing the victim meanwhile still bound to the tree.
That his reflections were we of course cannot
tell, but he bore his punishment as a warrior
should.
When night was closed around it brought
his executioners to • their work again. The
scene of the first night was re-enacted, and so it
was the next night, and the next, and so on for
a week. Seven long and weary days did he
stand there tortured with the most cruel tor
ture, before his proud head drooped upon his
breast, and his spirit left its clayey tenement
for the hunting-grounds of the great Spirit.—
And*hen it did they took the body, wrapped
it a new clean blanket, and placed it in the
log coffin lie had helped to hollow. •
They put his hunting-knife by his side that
he might have something to defend himself on
the way, his Whiskey-bottle that he might
cheer his Spirits with a draught now and then,
and his tobacco and pipe, that he might smoke.
Then they put on the cover, drove down stakes
each side of the log, and filled up between
them with logs and brush.
„Yrie murdered
squaw was avenged. The cathp was broken
up, and the old stillness and quiet once more
reigned over the forest spot where was contu
mated this signal act of retributive justice.
Our informant has visited the spot often since
then ; the log is still there with its cover on ;
aryl beneath may still be seen the skeleton of
the victim.

She who sleeps upon toy heart
Was the first to win it :
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever reigns within it ;
She who kisses oft my tins
Wakes my warmest blessing ;
She who rests within mine arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other hours than these shall come,
Hours that may be wears• :
Other days shall greet us yet,
Days that may be dreary :
Still that heart shall be thy home,
Still that breast thy pillow ;
Still those lips meet thine, as oft

Sleep, then, on mv happy heart,
Since thy love bath won it ;
Dream, then, on my loyal breast—
None but thou halt clone. it :
And when age our blooM shall change,
With its wintry weather,
May we, in the self same grave, '

Don't Depend on Father.""
Stand up here, young man, and let us talk
to you—you who have trusted alone to the con
tents of " father's purse," on his fair fame for
your influence in business. Think you that
father haS attained to eminence in his profes
sion, but by unwearied industry ? or that he
has amassed a fortune honestly without energy
and activity ? You should know that the
faculty requisite for the acquiring of fame or
fortune, is essential to, nay,•inseparable from,
the retaining of either of these. Suppose
" father" has the rocks in abundance if 'you
never earned anything for him, you have no
more business with these " rocks" than a gos
ling with a tortoise : and if he allows you to
meddle with them till you acquire some by your
own industry, he perpetrates mischief. And if
e old man is lavish of his cash toward you.
while he allows you to while away time, you'd
better leave—yes, run away—sooner than be
an imbecile, or something worse, through so
'corrupting and influence. Soon or later you
must learn to rely on your own resources, or
you will not be anybody. If you have become
idle, if you have eaten your father's bread and
butter, smoked father's cigars, cut it swell in
father's buggy, and tried to put on father's in
fluence and reputation, you might far better
?rave been a poor canal boy, son of a chimney

The Big Tree ,(not the largest in the grove: ,
but the largest perfect tree,) is 95 feet in eke
cumference, and measured after it was cut
down 200 feet in length, the stump standing'
8 feet high ; it is estimated by the grains on the'
stump to be about 3000 years old. It re
quired 6 men 25 days to fell the tree, (which!
was done by boring,) and three weeks to strip

The Graver 7 of Franklin . ..
Great and wide-spread as is the fame of thee
" PRINTER Pnmosornsit," and proud as the
people of Philadelphia are of their illustrious
townsman, we doubt much if one in a hundred'
of the present generation of Philadelphia have
ever seen his tomb. Thousands pass daily
within a few feet of the spot where his ashes.,
and those of his wife repose, without being con.
scions of the fact, or, if aware of it, unable to
obtain a glimpse of the grave. The bones of
the lightning-tamer lie within a very short
distance of Arch. street, in the north-west cor
ner of Christ Church grave-yard, at Fifth and
Arch streets. As is generally known, the spot'.
is marked by a slab of marble, which is almost
level with the earth, and which bears the sim
ple inscription, " BENJAMIN AND DEBOILMI .
FRANKLIN." If the wall at this point were re
moved, and and a neat iron railing erected in
'its stead, every passer-by would be afforded
the gratification of seeing the g i rave ; a gratifi
cation now very difficult to obtain. In a Phil
adelphia newspaper, published in December,
1774, we find the following notice of the death
of Mrs. Franklin On Monday,. the nine.
teentli instant, died, at an advanced age, Mrs.
Deborah Franklin, wife of Dr. Benjamin Frank
lin : and on the Thursday following, her re
mains were interred in the Christ Church bury- -
ing ground." The announcement of the death'
and burial of Mrs. Franklin was as simple and s
111100tenta Lions as the slab and its pithy insciip
tion, which marks her final resting place.--
