William Glenn, a youDg, powerful and ath letic man. left Portsmouth as early as the year 1794, and, with bis wifo and tbree year old daughter, traveled northward until the lofty tower of Mouot Washington shut out the po lar 6tar. In a quiet aecluded dell now com prised in the township ot Jackson he fixed his rough log house, aqtuilt up his family altar. Broad acre of rich woodland, yet uc nmtilated by the destroying band of civiliza tion, stretched out their green, waving bil low, far toward Ellis' river, and the morning sunshine looked down on the dell with a wealth of life-giving power in its warm boams. In truth, a lovelier spot than Cras Dell could not be found for leagues ; and although the nearest human habitation was seven miles away, the Glenus were a bappy family liv ing, as they did, in a little kingdom of their own, unmolested and untroubled. - " Tbree years fled, and the wild, forbidding features which would Lave once struck a stran ger so unfavorably, were almost entirely re moved from Crag Dell. Wide fielJs of corn and wheat, ripe for the harvest, rustled where the stately forest monarehs had first nodded haughtily ia the breeze. ' The log cabin was neater aud more home-like in its appearance the wild eglantine blossomed by the bum ble door-step, and clusters of purple-bosomed morning-glories twined lovingly around rude poles set in the earth beneath the one glass window. r ' The prettiest thing about the placo was the blue-eyed little Maggie, the sweet child who stood by her mother's ride, one magnificent September morning, and be rged to bo Uowed to go out to a knoll but a few rods from the cabin, for wbortleDerries, which grew Tery thick and largo there. At first, Mrs. Glenn demurred,- for there was niuch danger to be apprehended fiuni rattlesnakes, which were quite numerous iu the vicinity ; but at last, won over from discretion by two round, bright tears which glistened in Maggie's eyes, she gave her consent; enjoiuing it upon her child not to go out of sight of ths cabia. With a mother's prida and care did Mrs. Glenn watch the little form until she Eaw Mag gie at tbe knoil busily engaged in capturing the delicious fruit ; and then with a cheerful f.ce she ra urned t) her spinning. Ever ana auon, the busy hum of the wheel would cease, aud the mother's face pressed tbe window, to see if Maggie still remained upon the knoll. At last bhe looked forth, and a frightful change fell upon her as she looked I Her cheek became white as ashes a deathly colJnesi settled ia all her limbs ; she would have shrieked, but her lips were scaled. There, on the bold rock which overhung the knoll, where Maggie yet knelt in childish satisfaction, fast filling the bucket with Llut: bcriies crouched an. immense panther, evi dently preparing for tbe fatal leap. Mothers ! judge of the feeiiugs cf that mother ! Far from humau eid Lor husband at work in the interval, two miles below aud a panther about to devour her only child I The golden hair would be dabbled in red blood; the lips which bad so often been preted to hers iu the rich ki-s of holy affection, would be torn and crushed between tbe ravenous jaws of the raouster ! - That little body, now so warm and beautiful with life, in a moment would be a bhapelcss mas, gorging tho fierce appetite of a wild beast. - ;.- - lu that hour Martha Glenn thought only of her child. She reflected not on the danger to which ehe-exposed herself in venturing forth in eight of the ter.ible animal. She re membered only that her child tho child she bad uourishid at her breast, and who, for six bappy years had slept in her bosout was in peril. , Forth fhe sped," her TaDds upraised her . eyes fixed in movtlesi aony upon the horrible tableau The panther gave alow growl of delight, as his rost'.ess eye fell on hia new victim ; his tail laehed the ground in his rage ; his red tongue gleamed savagely over bis white, glea- miug teeth, and Lis glaring eyes seemed liv ing coals of lire I Unheeding all all bat her child tno ais- tracted mother fp3d on ; tue low, sweet voice of her darling reaching ber through the dead air for Maggie waa ringing to herself a quaint old ballad of long ago. Iu an instant. Mag - . . pie was frtrugung in her iotber s arms, and fe. .. 03 .? . j - that niotner, wuu toe courage 01 ueapair, turned and attempted to reach her cabin with the precious burden she bore. - In vain 1 all in vain ! Uttering a fierce cry the panther raised himself upon bis haunches . his fore paws dug deep into the matted grass a wild, maddening snort.and his claws were buried in the shoulders of the helpless woman r jriingmg .'J aggie upon me mgrsui heaps of mountain heather which grew every where in rich luxuriance, Mrs. Green prepa red herself for the desperate and unequal strug gle.
