One of these families is named Johnson, and consisted of the father and mother and several children. Of these children, two were boys, named John and Henry,;ohnson, and aged respectively thir- teen and eleven years. Towards the dose of the fall, the boys were sent one evening to drive home the Crows. wl►ich bad wander• ed off beyond the settlement. The season was that delightful Indian summer time, when the Ohio Valley puts on its richest hues of beauty, and when the favcination of its scenery is greater than at uy other part of the year. The boys, young as they were, were keenly alive to the beauty of the scene, and moved,aleing briskly, but boylike, when they had, reticle(' the foot et the bill which bounded the "bottom" tliet. lay back of the fort, they paused under a hickory -nut tree, unable to *gist its fascination, and (*tumoral lather the nuts and.orack and Oat them: They sat down at the baso of the tree,: and Unmindful that the sunset. wag coming on and that the cows were still undiscovered, they gave their whole atten tion to their nuts. So you see, my dear reader, pioneer boys were quite as apt to attend to pleasure before business, as those of the present day, end I am very much inclined to believe that these two thought more of squirrels and nuts than about the cows and their parents. They happened to look up at last, and John jumped to his feet in confusion, and exclaimed : “We'll catch it now, lien. Yonder comes father and Uncle Joseph, and if they find us here instead of looking fur the cows, they'll make us smokO for it." Henry looked in the direction indicated by his brother, and saw two men approaching them. The new-comers were dressed like the settlers at the Station, and one of them carried a bridle in his hand.

The cued of the Heart. TUE PIONEER BOSS. BY JAMBS D. 11 . 0 ABE, JR BLOOMSBURG, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1868. One of the Indians could converse Wer e* well in English, and be told the boys they would not harm them if they would not run any. He said they were looking for horses and , that the lads must go with them. They started off and taking a cir cuitous route over the Short Frock hills continued their search after horses. Little Henry was very much frightened, but his brother John contrived to whisper to him not to cry or show the Indians that he was alarmed, and to lot him do the talking.— John became very friendly with the Indians, and seemed to be delighted at his capture. He told them ho was glad they had taken him prisoner, that his father was a hard master, and kept him always at work, allow ing him no time for play. lie did not like such a life, but wanted to be free, and live in the woods, and be a hunter. Ile hoped they would take him to their tribe and make a warrior of hitu. The Indians were sur prised and delighted at this language from a pale face, and the one who could speak English told him they would make a great brave out of him, and that by the time lie was grown ho would have no white blood in him, but would be altogether an Iditni. He became very intimate with the lad during their tramp, and give him a small bag to carry. Thu bag was quite heavy and the boy supposed it contained money. About dusk the Indians halted at n spring in a hollow place, about three miles from the fort. They built a fire and cooked their supper which they shared with their prison ers. John Johnson made himself very mse fill in building the fire, and getting water for his captors, and received many grunts of satin Bastion and approval. One of them asked hint if he knew where there was any horses running about in the woods, but the boy, thiuking it best to tell the truth this time, told them that the settlers were very earl:fill, add kept their their hurts up all the time, and that ho did not think they would meet with much success in their efforts. When night came, the Indians covered up the fire, and pinioned the boys and made them He down together, They thou placed their lempis over them, and lay down, one,on each side of them, on the ends of the straps. They lay awake for a king time, laughing. John, who was a lively and sprightly fellow, entertained the savages with many amusing stories which made them laugh heartily. These stories ho told to the Indian who could speak Eaelh, and that one in his turn related theta to , compan ion in his own language. Dour ilttki henry Ie! nut spoken a word since hi c: pture, and, thatghifient, he weLfa !4ata ti,i Itgain,t his brother fur be come au Indian, and kiog so lied' ;• with them. John Johnson, however was only carrying out a plan which he had conceived inaue diately after their capture. The lad bad been born and brought up on the frontier, where he had lived in the society of Indian hunters all his life, and he was tolerably well versed in the art of border warfnre, and was possessed of an intelligence and a evarege unusual in a boy so young. As soon as the Indians had captured his brother mid him self, ho had resolved to make his escape. This was his meson for telling his brother to say nothing and let him do all atlio talking, and ho had spent all the afternoon in trying to make friends with the savages and lull their suspicions to rest. He knew that his brother would not understand his motives for acting as he did, but he could not tell him without revealing everything, and thus reviving their chance for escape. After the savages tied hint and made him tie down for the night his courage almost departed from him. The Indians, as I have said, bad placed their hoppis strap over the boys, and were lying upon the ends of it themselves, so that any attempt of the boys to get up would, by movieg theetarp, awake their captors. The situation seemed hope less, but John determined to wait patiently and see if something more favorable did not hap Pen. Ile whispered softly to hie broth er not to go to sleep, and after the Indian's ceased talking, lay, ,silently (hinting over the eseapcs of tbe various 'lndian-hun i ters that he knew. • Hi remembered how Lrwis Wetzel had several times regained his lib erty in the face of even More formidable obscurities, fbr the hunter had told him the story himself lle believed that the Indians had no fear of his trying to leave them, as they had faith in the story he had told them, but how he should get out of their power he could not tell. Something ninst be done that night. He knew the spot where they were resting for the night, and could easily find his way buck to the fort, but the next day the Indians would strike across the country towards their own people, and even should they succeed in escaping during this journey, there was a strong probability of their being overhauled and retaken, or of loosing their way and dying. of starvation, or br wandering into a &inn of Indians. The neceasity, therefore, for doing aomethinr that night, if anything was to be done at all, was imperative. The boy's mind was busy with these thoughts, but be felt that it was useless to make oven the slightest attempt as long as the Indians were awake. The suspense in which the little fellow was placed was painful, and in spite of' the chilliness of the night, the thick sweat stood heavy on his forehead. At last the heavy breathing of' the sava ges convinced him that they were asleep. lie could not move without waking them, however, and his condition was made no bu ng by their unconsciousness than it bad been before. The night was quite cool, and in about an hour after the savages full asleep, one of them becoming cold lifted John in his arms and rolled him on the outside, and was soon breathing hes* amis. This was just what the lad wantelLlelThe Indian had put him where he could move without disturbing the others,• and had not only removed the grip from him, but bad rolled off of it himeelf Profiting by till., the boy slowly and cau tiously rolled away firom his companions, and commenced trying to undo the thongs with which his hands were tied. Fortun ately the Indians had not fastened him very securely. He worked' slowly and softly, so slowly indeed that it seemed that he would never free himself. Every movement seemed to his ezeited imagination more violent than was prudent, and he dreaded lest the In dians should suddenly 'wake and discover him attempt to escape. In such a case, he felt sure they would kill him. The time wore away very slowly, but at length he suc ceeded in removing his fetters, and rising gently to his 113 et, he looked nmund to assure himself that all was well. The huge forms of the Indians were stretched out at full length, and their heavy, regular breathing showed him that they were sound asleep. Another glance revealed to him the great, round blue eyes of his little brother Henry, watching his movements with the most in tense eagerness. Ile placed his finger warn ingly on his lips to caution the little fellow not to make any sound that might alarm the savages, and then stepping emulously to the boy's side, he raised the strap softly, and motioned to his Whor to get upon Lis fle. The nstenislesl Henry did so, and hie broth or led him softly a few paces awnw from the sleepers, and commenced to untie his bands. How their hearts beat, as they stood there in the dark Vote's with danger and death so near them ! The very sighing of the night wind, the rustling of the leaves, and the murmuring of' the waters of the little stream by which they had encamped, made them start and tremble with fear. The slieloost sound might arouse their captors, and then, post boys, home and a mother's face would never gladden their eyes again. At last Henry's hands were released, and the boy, intent only upon getting o ff safe ; whispered to his brother Come now, brother John, let us run home as fast as we enn." John knew this would never do. henry would be sure to arouse the Indians in at tempting to run sway, and ho seized the lit tle fellow, who had already turned to put his propwal into exemriien, by the blmubier firmly, and aid:piled to him: " Don't run away yet, 1 fen. If you do, you'll wake tlieltolians, as, You mus:n't Air yet, for we must kill these Indians berme we go." Henry was afraid at first, for he was a very little fellow, and only eleven years uld, and the idea of killing one of the great, stalwart savages that lay bleeping at his fi..a seemed to him an utter impwsitility; but his broth- LE told him that he must make the attempt, and after some hesitation the little fellow einem:tad to do The plan upon which John had decided would hare done credit to an old hunter, and it is remarkable as coming from o boy so young, inasmuch as it exhibits an' unusual de,ree of originality, fertility of resource, and determined courage. The lad was only thirteen ye:.rs old, but had be been fifty he could not have acted with greater coolness and determintion. Stealing noiselessly up to the Indians, be took one of their rifles, which was loaded and primed, anti cocking it, placed it on a log with the muzzle 'only an inch or two from the head of one of the Indians. lie then placed Henry at ti►e breech or the weapon, and made him put his finger on the trigger. Ho told him to pull the trigger, and 'shoot the savage as soon as he should strike the other.- Then stepping back, he po.ssessed himself of the Indian's toinahaWk, as ho found that, it malaise impossible to remora the rifle with out arousing Its owner. Ile grasped the tothabawkfirmly; and then assuring himself by a glance that his longer 'brother was ready to co•operatd wich him, ho stepped softly to the slet.pers, and Pined, himself astride of one of thorn. They were still coweious, the fatigue of their long march on the previous day having thrown them in profound slumber. The bey raised the tutu alma k with both hands, and cotieentrating all his energieS in the blow struck the sleeper with it. The blow fell on the back of the Indian's neck, and a little to the side, so as not to be fatal. 'Half stw►ued, the savage attempted to spring up and defend himself, but John struck him again, this titue on the head. Even this blow, though it cut through the skull with a horrible crash, did not kill the man, but the little fellow, rewlertal des. perato by the gravity of his situation, struck him E 0 first and so often, and with,auelt fatal effect, that, as the lad afterwards expn i leued it 'himself, "the Indian lay still, and begun , to quiver." In another moment, the huge savage lay motionless at his feet, and having satisfied himself that there was nothing more to apprehend froui this ono, John turned to see what disposition MS brother had made of the other. Little Henry had also done his pelt well. As soon as ho saw his elder brother t.trike the Indian with the tomahawk, lie pulled the trigger and discharged the rifle. The ball struck the sleeping savage iu the face, and tore away a considerable portion of his lower jaw. The Indian, a few ►numents aft. for receiving the shot yelled in the , imolai terrible manner. He was so completely, startled by the suddenness of the attack that ho did not for a moment attribute it to his captives, and his wound was so terrible as to utterly deprive him for the time of the tenee, fin Pow d oi n r o en r r red s ydroppe d u t n h a sa o ri soon and u Ito had horrid over to where his brother was standing. All this had tact) scarcely as much time as I have consumed in telling it, and the boys at once set oft' for the fort. They travelled rapidly, and reached the ibrt a little after daybreak. They were in constant dread all the way that the Indian who had been shot, and who theY know bad not been killed, would pursue them and take vengeance on them. As they approached the fort, they found the settlers all awake and up, and in the greatest alarm and distress concerning them. Their mother Fetrrottmled by a group of sympathizing, friends, was weeping bitterly over their supposed unhappy fate. "Poor little fellows," she sobbed, " they arc killed or taken prisoners." John's limit was is hi, throat, at the sight of his mother's gri, and rushing to her, he eriPd out eagerly : "No, mother, we are here saf , and sound." You may ho sure there Wai joy in the fart over the return of the two lest ones. John toll the story of their capture and escape, hut it seemed to the settlers r►o utterly im prel,able that two such children had killed two Indian warriors that the story vra.4 not believed. John then offered to guide a party to the scene of the tragedy, and is small detachment was sent out to ascertain the truth of the boy's statement. They reached the ramp, and fund there the dead body of the Indian whom John had torus- hawked, but the one Henry had shot, had teenaged to crawl away and take his gun and aufnetuitien with him. He could not be found, but his skeleton and gun were discovered some time afterwards. These things confirmed the truth of the boys' story, and they were after that the pride and boast of the settlement. The Indians who were killed, were great warriors, an , l,very wealthy. The bag which John had soon and carried on the previoui evening, and which he supposed contained money, was never found. It was believed that one of' the men in the fort, upon hear ing the boys' story, had started fir the spot in advance of the party and secure the money. The Indians themselves did honor to the bravery or the two boys. After their treaty with General Wayne, a frivol of the In dians who were killed asked a man from Short Creek. what had become of the beya who killed the two warriors? Upon being told that they were residing at home with their parent: , , lie expressed his surprise. " said be, "you hare not done right ; you should make king;4 of those boys.'' Old Time Winters.

So many precious inter ests are iit stake, in the fate of the enter prise that we cannot afford to have it die of financial starvation. and that, too, in a eoun. tr y "'m it t, by millions through its direct influeneo. Through changes wrought in our social customs and in their own personal and domestic habits by the temperance ef forts of the last thirty years, multitudes of our citizens have been saved annually, sums varying from ten to five hundred dollars. A portion, at least, of what has been thus saved should in all eases be devoted with fidelity to the prosecution of this great work. To add the entire amount thus saved to one's previous accumulations, or to devote it entirely to other enterprises, excelunt though they may be, is as impolite as it is unjust. We must steadily pay for tho re striction or suppression of intemperance and its procuring causes, or expend many times the amount in footing the bills which this wicked, destructive system will still present to us. No efforts ever put forth by man have been richer in results to all the precious in. terests of Christian communities than those employed by temperance reformers so flu as those efforts have been made in a proper spirit, and guided by practical wisdom. The temperance cause is not a failure. We have simply failed to sustain and use to a Ktfricient extent appropriate agencies and instrumentalities. The cause has had hith erto the moral, while the liquor system has had the money powers. Let us henceforth mid to the moral the money power and we will educate the community in sound views in relation to the whole subject and all its phases, secure respect to who:'some and needful laws, shield our youth from contam inating ;Mitt, ens and thus with Gearabless- ing greatly mitigate, if we cannot utterly dr- Ntroy, the great scourge and curse of the civilized world.—Dn.

" Monologue I" said the lawyer. " Mono-logue !" cried the crier. Prologue." And the crier still cried, " Pro-loguc Dialogue." And the pertinacious crier shouted " Dia logu!e" at the top of his voice. Discouraged at hearing no response from the Logue fatally, the crier turned and said to the court, sitting in mute astonishment at the stupid crier's calls; " I've called all the Logucs in town, and never one is here to speak for himself " Ovsmats.— We take the following from an exchange, which is worthy of a trial : We s uppose that nine out, of ten house keepers will contradict us point blank, in a statement that nine out ten dog not know how to stow a dish of oysters. By the or dinary routine that nearly every one tbllows, citheir the oysters are stewed and shriveled out of semblance of themselves is shape, size and flavor, or else the soup and "thick cuing" has a raw taste that spoils it. Here is the right method, Try it once, and we'll warrant you won't need telling the second time. Pick the oysters out of' the juice with a fork, as dry as possible ; stew the juice ; thickening, milk or water, of which the soup is to be made, until thoroughly cooked; then drop the oysters in, and just as the cooled soup begins to show signs of simmering, empty out altogether, and you will have rich soup and plump oysters, lu scious enough to make you think you never tasted raid oysters before.
