A REVOLUTIONARY SKETII.
BY GEO MARTIAL.
It was past midnight of the thirteenth of
ust, commenced my grandmother, but
though the river was in front of us, aud the
! forest stretched for miles behind us, and away
i to tho Tight aud left, I could not catch cveo
j the sight of a leaf or the ripple of the water,
so sultry and heavy brooded the darkness
around us.
I had not been in tho best of spirits that
daj, for it was the tiuie when we dreaded
every hour to hear of the bombardment of
New York; and though in the house of Thom
as Oakley, first cousin to my father, I had
mthing to fear, there had hung over mc sttch
a terror and dread that day, that I could not
help fearing lest some evil had happened to
my parents, who were still ic the city.
As usual w'.th the sleepless, all sorts of fan
cits teased icy brain. My room, like all the
others, was large, and furnished in a style
that now seems so quaint to our young eyes.
The chimney-piece was tiled with porce
lain, curiously wrought into illustrations of
Scripture. The bed and furniture, that hd
all been brought from England, was tall,
dark, stiff and carved, while the walls were
hung with sombre family portraits. And as
I lay and wished for day, the tiled 6gures
seemed to move and glower at me in the un
certain light that came through the loophole
of the window; while I thought the eyes of
the portraits were, one and all, fixed on me
with a solemn and warning stare; and so -it
happened that I had heard the old clock strike
one, two and three, and was just falling off
into a doee, when there came a light step
along the hall, and cousin Grace called, in a
strange sacred voice, outside the door, 'Hel
en! Helen!'
I was up in a moment, and out to where
she stood, looking like a spirit, with her ashy
face, and fair hair all about her. and I re
membered the thrill of astonishment with
which, in spite of my fright. I saw she was
already dressed, and held in her hand a pow
der flask." ,
Put on jour clothes as quick ai you can,
Nellie, said she, in a voice that trembled a lit
tie, though she was doing her best to be calm.
Brant's men are coming, and father wants us
all down stairs.
lirant's men! It is difficult to make you
understand the horrors with which that name
was pronounced and beard; or to express theT
terror with which, as I hurried on my clothes,
I thought of Grace and myself in the power
of those mercileso sayages. No wonder that
I trembled in every limb, or that Thomas
Oakley and his stalwart sons men not easily
daunted looked pale as they moved about in
the dim moruing light.
I don't know as I have epoken to you be
fore of Thomas Oaklej, a man over six feet
in height, and of a noble presence, with a
grand face that looked as if it might have
been chiseled out of marble, and hair as white
as snow, though he was scarcely past his
prime. We have no such men, now-a-days.
I have his portrait ia my little cabinet yon
der, and you may see there that he looks as
he was a kindly and noble gentleman.
As for his sons, they were like him tall,
Ftrong-limbed, fearless and devoutly attached
to their stately mother, who was preparing
breakfast wbilo they fastened the iron shut
ters of the lower windows, ' and barred the
heavy doors.
It's a shame to rout out so early, Nellie,
6aid Mr. Oakley, as he noticed my pale,
frightened face; but if we don't cat our break
fast now those rascals may not give us a
chauce to get it at all, and to my mind, after
a good cause, there's nothing like a good
breakfast before going into a fight.
I wish Mark was here, said Grace, tim-
No doubt, pussy; but I've sent for him.
Yon Yost, the half-witted lad that brought
the news, who were to start from the camp
to-day; and if we but keep the rascals at bay
till they come, wo may give them as good a
peppering as they deserve.
Ay, if I but oh that dreadful uncertainty.
The hous was of stone and so strongly built
that is was doubtful if they could cither rrze
or fire it. But who knew what else might
happen? How many of that fair family would
gather around the board to-morrow morning?
Ah! children, it was dreadful but I think the
hour before the attack was . the worst of all.
It was not to be expected that we could eat
much breakfast; but hurried as the meal was
it was hardly over when one of the boys,
whom IMr. Oakley had posted at the lookout
called out that they were coming, and steal
ing along the woods at the right, as if they
hoped to surprise us.
At once the men hurried with their rifles
to the windows of the second, story, while
Mrs. Oakley, pale but still outwardly calm,
motioned us to follow, and hand out the pow
der. Then came a dead silence.
'Look out, Simeon,' said the father, in a
low voice, and tell us what the knaves are
about.
Posting themselves around the house, but
under cover. They think to catch us nap
ping. There's a man coming in this way
now he why, father, it's Walter Van
Cuylei'
We all started. The meaning of this sud
den attack was clear enough now.
Van Cuyler had been a professed patriot
and a warm admirer of Grace, and on his re
jection by Ler, had gone away, vowing ven
geance on the whole family.
The traitor muttered Mr. Oakley. It
is he, then, that has brought down this swarm
of hornets. What is he doing cow. Simeon?'
'lie has been trying the windows, to see if
they uiq fastened. Now he is at the door. -
The wordj ircre drowned in a series of thun
dering knocks! '
Mr. Oakley went' to Simon's window.
Who knocks below there?'
Walter Van Cuyler.'
'What do you want?
'Food, rest, shelter. Brant's men are close
on my track. Let me in quickly.'
The fcbarp crack of a rifle, and the words
liar and hypocrite were his answer. A fierce
yell arose from behind the hay stacks and out
buildings, as twenty dark forms rushed for
ward, brandishing fheir weapons and firing
at random, while as many more hovered on
the outskirts of the wood.
Within the house was perfect silence, bro
ken only by the low, 'now, boys,' of Mr Oak
ley, aUa the roar of the 6ix best rifles in the
CHuntryy-
Six down! ' A man for each bullet!
GoodF said the exulting voice of Mr. Oakley.
'The powder, girls, and we'll give'em another.'
A shower of bullets, that rattled like hail
stones about the windows, cut short hie words
Mr. Oik ley picked up some that fell harmles
ly to the floor, and laughed.
The serpents yare kinder than I thought.
They are going to keep us in balls as well as
exercise. So mueh tho better, for we have
none too many. Now boys.
Another flash and roar, and again tho voice
of Mr. Oakloy:
'Jrire steady, boys, and take gool aim.
Don't waste powder.'
A dead silence ensued.
'They're cowed father they're
off to cover' exclaimed Simeon.
sneaking
Not they! they're only contriving some
new deviltry. John and Matthew, round
with you to the back of the house. Grace
my God! where did that shot como from? as
with a sharp cry, lleuben the eldest, leaped
three feet up into the air and fell forward on
his face, etone dead.
Mrs. Oakley sprang forward, and threw
herself on his body. The fair-haired eldest
was her darling. Another shot came crash
ing through the window, and bedded itself
deep iu the opposite wall.
Aim at yonder tree shouted Mr. Oakley.
I saw the gleam of a rifle stock among the
leaves.
A third shot, whizzing so close past ua as
to make us start back, and then our rifles an
swered, and a dark body went down, and
struck with a heavy 'thud' against the
ground.
He's, silenced, exclaimed Mr. Oakley, with
a gleam of stern satisfaction shooting across
his face. But I see none of the rest. Where
are they hiding!
Father, father! called Grace, in an agoni
zed tone..'. . . ; .:
Mr. Oakley ran hastily into the back room
where she was. A stalwart man, in a hunt
ing frock, and so bronzed as to make it al
most doubtful if he were white or red, had
swung himself from an adjouning tree on to
the balcony, and was trying to force himself
through the little window.
As Mr. Oakley rushed forward, he drew
the hunting knife that he wore in his belt; but
seizing the sharp edge in his bare hand, the
infuriated father wrested it from his grap by
main strength, and plunged it up to the hilt
in his breast.
A fierce yell, and harmless volley from
thoso in ambush, received this new defeat,
and then came another of thoso ominous
pauses.
What can they be about, muttered Simeon
who was again at the look-out. They surely
can't dream of firing the house.
The door! the door! gasped Grace.
Right! exclaimed her father. The girl
had more wit than us all Wo must barri
cade the hall.
Never mind the shutters, said Mrs. Oak
ley, who had regained her marble-like com
posure We will bar them, and she began
to draw the bolts.
Mr. Oakley hesitated, for the task was one
of danger, but there was no time to lose, and
chairs, ' sofas and tables were piled up at a
short distance from the door, in what was re
ally a formidable barricade, guarded, as it
was, by those unerring rifles. The smell of
the burning wood, and the smoke that filled
the hall, now grew almost intolerable. Mr.
Oakley placed us on the stair case, and told
his sous to stand close and take good aim. A
portion of the door fell in. Mr. Oakley raised
his rifled and Walter Van Cuyler, who was
the first to spring in, staggered back with a
groan, i The others swarmed in like bees, but
a second and a third of those deadly volleys
brought them to a stand. No man cared to
expose himself to such certain death.
Mr. Oakley turned impetuously to his sons:
Give'em another, boys; we'il beat 'em off
yet; but a mute shake of the head was their
only answer. The powder was exhausted.
For a moment a deadly pallor overspread his
countenance; the next, his voice rang out,
clear and firm as ever:
Close up! Draw your knives! We will sell
our lives as dearly as possible.
Come on! their powder is out!' shouted a
man who, with a half dozen others, had suc
ceeded in scrambling over the barricade, and
was making his way toward the little group.
You'd better be careful. Our women
have their knitting needles yet,' shouted Mr.
Oakloy. derisively.
We'll take care of you and the women
both, returned the ruffian, aiming a blow at
Simeon, that brought him to the ground.
A spasm contorted Sir. Oakley's stcra fea
tures for a moment, and then, with a strang
led sob, he threw himself headlong upon his
assailants.'
Kill him; cot him down, he's the devil
Mmcplf- fchrmted dozen voices; but at this
moment arose another, and far different cry:
The rebels thev are on us! as thundering
on, tramping the cowardly wretches down un
rW tha horse hoofs, came Mark Warner,
with his light horse troop. In an instant all
was confusion. No one thought of anything
but flight; and the enraged Americans mowed
the flying tories down like grain.
Then buret forth all tho emotion so long
pent up. Father and sns threw themselves
into one another's arms; Grace fainted, and
Mrs 0L-l.r roi. ...... iruiirr. melted into a i
flood of hysterical tears. ' l-tvlag AutLiUAnAa. which ha proposes U sell

Horrible Story.
Si j: Pertous Killed and Eaten by a Hy.
A pa paper called the Red River Nor wester,
published in Arkansas, gives the most horri
ble story that ever appeared in the columns of
an American journal, and says, "incredible
as it may appear, it has been confirmed by
too mauy to leave any doubt as to its correct
ness." We must confers that tho tale has
somewhat of a Robisoc Crusocish sound for
us, but it may be true. The crimes involved
in it are muidsr and cannibalism, and tho
principal facts are as follows:
About the first of March, a Salteauz in
dian, named Kewakiesick, who was passing
the winter in a hut near the Lao de Reseax,
went to hunt Moose. On his way, he no
ticed in the snow a broad trail that must have
been made by some passing Indians, and,
while on his way to find them, he was horri
fied at finding an Indian woman lying deal
in the path. Her body was so dreadfully
torn and hacked as to lead him at once cither
to suspect an attack by a wolf, or cannibalism,
and a closer examination proved that she had
been shot through the bead. Hardly know
ing what to think the startled hunter walked
a few paces further on and suddenly came
upon an Indian boy, about ten or twelve years
old, named Suawaygonish, who was sitting
beside a little fire. The lad's body emitted a
sickening odor, and over the fire before him
he was cooking pieces of flesh that were ev
idently human! Tho hunter after a brief
conversation, was convinced that the young
wretch was a cannibal, and would at once
have tomahawked him but forebore, lest in
that event he saould himself be accused of
tho cannabalism. Leaving the boy at his
horrid feast, the hunter proceeded to a tent
close by and thero beheld a sight more revol
ting than tho first. On the ground lay the
body of an elderly Indian and four of his
children, all of whom had evidently been
murdered and half eaten! The father had
evidently been soot while sitting in his tent,.
and it is supposed that he must have been
the first victia. A portion of each body had
been cut away by the cannibal, and from the
decayed appearance the hunters had concluded
that the murders had been committed several
days previously the horrid boy having sub
sisted solely oo the flesh of his victims ever
since. Not daring to return to the cannibal
lest his rage should master his discretion, the
hunter proceeded to the nearest Indian en
campment, and told what he had seen. The
red men attribute diabolical powers to
what thev call windigo," man eater, and
did cot see anything strange in the fact of a
mere chud murdering so many people. A
party was immediately formed, however, to
take and slay the young cannibal, wto . fled
into the toods as soon as his pursuers ap
peared. He was unrelentingly hunted from
place to place and shot by his own uncle! The
climax is worthy of the story and whether
tho -latter is true or not, we are unprepared
to say.
What is Life? The mere elapse of years
is not life. To eat, and drink, and sleep to
be exposed to darkness and the light to pace
round in the mill of habit, and turn thought
into an implement of trade this is not life.
In all this but a poor fraction of the conscious
ness of humanity is awakened, and the sanc
tities still slumber which make it worth while
to be. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, good
ness, faith, alone can give vitality to the me
chanism of existence. The laugh of mirth
that vibrates through the heart the tear that
freshens the dry wastes within the music
that brings childhood back the prayer that
calls the future near the doubt which makes
us meditate the death which startles us with
mystery the hardship which forces not to
struggle the anxiety that ends in trust are
. -i . . it
the true nourisnmcnt oi our natural Deing.
The Talent of Success. Every man must
patiently abide his time. He must wait, not
in listless idleness, not in useless pastime, not
in querulous dejection, but in constant, steady
cheerful endeavor, always willing, fulSdiog
and accomplishing his task, that when the
occasion comes he may be equal to tho occa
sion." The talent of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do well, without &
thought of famo. If it comes at all, it will
come because it is deserved, not because it is
sought after. It is very indiscreet and trou
blesome ambition which cares so much about
fame, about what the world says of us, as to
be always anxious about the effect of what we
do or say to be always looking in the face
of others for approval to bo always shouting
to hear the echoes of our own voice.
