Blount had de priced of its defenders. The good lady had evi dently heard a portion of what had been said, for she approached the parties, and remarked: "Do Dot speak your fears, Mr. Wilson, in the ears of the more timid among u 3; for to increase their fears would be to decrease our chances of ez.cape. There is one thing that can save us ; sir." "If you know one thing that can save us, you know more than I do, and I'm now going on to my sixty-fifth year, and have seen all kinds of troubles with the Cherokees, Creeks, Shawanees and other kinds of painted creturs. Now, ma'am, without meanin' no disrespect to you or the ma jor, I'd like to be informed what that one thing is that can save us." "Well, my good neighbor, I will tell you; and depend upon it, it has saved more than one sta tion from destruction. It is courage, frien Wilson," returned Mrs Buchman. "Yes, that's an exeellent thing where there's danger, but you see that the idea prevails here in the valley tha.t it isn't greatly needed at pres ent," added Wilson. "There is something else that you did not mention in connection with courage," said the I major to his wifq "and that is prudence " "True courage is always marked by prudence," she replie I. .61r,iu are right there, Mrs. Buchman!" ex claimed the old man. "The real generwine courage is none of your headlong, haruin scarurn sort, tillers a mania' into danger with no thought bow to get out of it." "Corn ~" added Buchman, "here aro three of us; let us hold a council of war " • "War indeed, when there's nobody to fight," rejoined Wilson. "The rangers have gone home, it is true, but you know there are several men left in the neighborhood who can handle arias with skill," suid - 11.-rs Bur hman "If we could only induce them to see things in the right light," replied the major; "but they will not, and that danger is the greatest which appr-aches without being suspected or feared." "I %in well aware of that, husband, and there f,re there i 3 more need of eff ermi i seretion tt our part You See that our friers ow be ,.tin 1 ,- . co out alone, without caution, and most of tueol • es , cu taking their wives and children fr ttio , tati mto their cabiu4, so great is their faiqi in t, pr aestations of John Watts, Ana cc,: au I other—savage leaders in pay of the Spanish G. ivernor of Pensacola—whose tusserva- tians are as hollow as the winds.

Only their fame will remain, and even that will perish af ter ii season " Mrs. Buchman made no immediate rejoinder, forshe perceived that the Indian's chest was hear ing, and his feelings were touched: "When will the army under Anacate and Watt attack us?" she asked, at length, in a more res pectful tone. "Don't know—don't know," he rejoined, al most fiercely. "I ass no traitor, white woman. Go and provide for your safety as best yori tan. I can do no more for you." Mrs. %minima was turning away, when be called to her. "Stop: here—take this, and when you see the men who carry hatchets and knives, show it, and it will, perhaps, save your life." While the Otter was speaking, be took a belt of wampum from his waist, and east it at her feet. "No, I will not take your wampum. I will run my risk with my friends and neighbors," she replied, heroically. A scowl of displeasure passed over the face of the indian. "You have children," he said, folding his arms upon his chest. "0 yes, I will give it to my little daughter, and tell her the humane chief,—White Otter— the man who is faithful to Washington—sent it to her." "I can stay no longer; betray me not, lest my name be remembered with contempt by my peo ple. When you look out from your cabin and see Cumberland Valley in a red blue, recall what I have said The chieftain turned and disappeared. Mrs.- Buchman picked up the wampum, and sped on her tni,sion. She discovered, however, that her task was not an easy one The settlers, wearied out with previous alarms and fighting, and earnestty de siring peace, were ready to imagine that it had already come, and that halcyon days were now really bef,re them., It may be asked why Mrs Buchman did not tell them what had passed be tween berielf and the chief. We answer, because the effect would have been quite different from what she wanted to produce—for each, seeing there was no organized tow among them, woaid consider destruction inevitable, and attempt to fly to some other part of tba country fur safety Such a general, helter-skelter flight would have been as fatal as the descent cf the enemy in It 4 results, inasmuch as they could easily be slain by their watchful foes, and that without any re• sistance. "Ala, that is a smart fair said Pat, scramb ling to his feet, "for it kilts at both euds." But his shot told weltipon the enemy, for the next morning John Hats was found leaning against the gate piereed4 many bullets, stark and cold, having probstly received his death from the blunderbuss.

At that oasis our he , roine appeared with afresh supply, and was greeted with cheert of stbusiasm. She had cast them by the aid of *eves' other women, during the fight.

Two ' who lived i the same neigbborls __ had been intimate requaintan on from their befaney' became married \ to a cou ple of young tradesmen, who were thriving and indlistrious. The in men were clerks in the same dry goods in Broadway, when they became first ovum with their future wives, and during a large portion of the onnehiy, hence no little Intimacy was created between the young men, and they strongly map:diked with each, other in their nepeetive matrimonial projec t s, and both beams well known to each ether's in tended. One establishethimsidf in Philadilphia, and the other in New York, and as soon as they felt peenniarily able, they mai:Tied their respective favorites. The families- being thus ol l:l°Yed bat few opportunities of soeialM atiNi srcourse with each other. Even when the requirements of busi ness brought occasionally Mr. Jenkins from Philadelphia to New York, he use usually in too much haste to lase much. time in chatting with Mr. Jackson, though sometimes he would be ac companied to New York by' his wife, when the two ladies would delight themselves in mutual inquiries about acquaintances who had removed to distant regions. Nor were wanting topics of more piquant interest, such as the conduct of their respective husbands; and while Mrs. Jen kins rejoiced in a leasband who never denied her anything, Mrs. JYekson had to confess, that though her husband provided well for the family, and was a very indulgent father, yet he would have his own way. Mrs. Jenkins entered into her friend's feelings with the warmth of an old acquaintance, and with the esprit du corps of a wife, and insisted that she would not live with a man who should treat her in such a manner The subject of this conversation almost en- grossed the thoughts of Mrs. Jenkins, and when she returned to Philadplphia, she viewed her own house with the new impressions produced in her mind by the ambitious aspirations of her friend, and the house speedily lost nearly all its attractions. She and her husband had occupied it ever winos their marriage, and as it was situa ted-in the rear of the shop, it was necessarily small and subject to many inconsenienees. Stle could neither pass in nor out, except through the shop, and this was peculiarly unpleasant to the female friends who occasionally visited her, to sty nothing of the children, who were not per mitted to play in the shop, and were p-rpetually romping in her small parlor The resid..nec had been suitable. enough to the condition of the par• ties when they commenced house-keepiog; an.i its manifold inconveneinees had developed them selves so gradually, in the gradual increase of the family, that Mrs Jenkins had been insen,,- ble to them till her attention was called that way by • her last ei,it to New York She was n •‘v surprised that she had lived contetvedly ,n z•la • , 1 a place so long, and was reVil Vt.

These demonstrations were not lost on Mr Jenkins, who knew enough of human nature to understand their drift; hence he was not taken unman's when, in the fulness of time, his wife declared all her wants, and showed to him the deep hold which, unaccountably to him, the sub ject had taken on her feelings. We have al ready said . that he never denied his wife any thing about which he found she was pertina cious, uor i olid he in the present case. He con fessed that the present residence was inconve nient. He had felt it himself, and would lose no time, unnecessarily, in performing all that his wife required, after he should extricate himself from debt, and got his business into a shape that would enable him to purchase a suitable build ing lot fur such a house as is family ought to oe cupy Mrs. Jenkins was delighted, and lost no time in writing to her friend, Mrs. Jackson her bril liant prospects, and as no account loseS in the telling, the consumation of her wishes intubed some rainbow tints from her imagination, and, like a full moon, seemed far nearer than it was. in sober reality Mrs. Jackson read this epistle with less picas ure than she ought to have felt at the happiness of so old and good a friend, and her house from thenceforth became more insupportable than ev er, till by pandering long on her discontent, it gradually became mingled with all her thoughts and actions, and exhibited itself prominently in all her intercourse with her husband. When he 'was affectionately disposed towards her, as he us ually was when relieved at evening from the cares of his shop, she would sigh deeply, or shed tears and let him know otherwise that the want of a better boast was a cruel obstruction to her happiness. When he was in an ill humor, as would sometimes happen from the perplexity of business, she would retort with complaints of the wretched house is which she was straightened and oonfined. The project of his wife appeared to Mr. Jack son so manifestly improper, that he could not. countenance it for a moment. ' but as he was a issosable man himself, he hoped to convince i ber of the impropriety of her demands. He ac cordingly told her that he had risen, as she knew, rom nothing, but though he had been prosper ous, his business was still incumbered by want of capital, which compelled him to make purcha ses on credit, instead of ranging the market and obtaining his supplies where they could be pur chased most cheaply for money. Were he, by ; building, to abstract from his business any por tion of his active "petal, he would still further embarrass himself, while hie creditors, seeing his imprudence, would begin to suspect his ability to pay, and refuse him their aaststactee. This was indeed a potent argument, and Jack son never knew how to combat it, except by say ing that Jenkins iflis a fool; nor could poor Jackson invent any new reasons in opposition to his wife, and she professed herself tired of the old ones. He had but to commence his opposi tion, when she forthwith stopped him. As the last resort of a worsted disputant, he ono day, unfortunately, became angry. He had so long smothered his feelings, that now when they ob tained vent, the explosion was prodigious. . The poor woman was sorely afflicted at the un usual spectacle of biz rage. She bore it, howev er, as only women can bear such aflfictions, in meekness and silent sorrow, that appealed to his feelings more eloquently than words; till on rededtiou be became so much distressed at his own violence, that he agreed, as thi only proper atonement in his power, to construct a hones ac cording to her wishes, let the colloquiums be Es Metal it in 'pa smut, and the construction absorbed all his active care ital, while Inaba. furniture for it, which soon became as indispensable as the house, ran hits into debt. Ha straggled for two Tsars with embarrassment produced in his business by these abstntotions from his resottmes, and 'Procured additional credit to supply their plan; but when he most extended in this respect, a pecuniary crisis pervaded the country, and New York fail the full force of the existing pressure. The' banks could no longer yield their accustomed accommodations, and in the struggle of each in stitution to save itself, the ruin of private per sons came to be disregarded. In -turn, every man who was in debt had to urge payment from his own debtors, and in the general scramble Which ensued, numerous merchants became bank rupt, till all confidence was lost, and every per son was afraid of his neighbor. Nothing could have‘come less opportunely to Jackson than this ocenmercial revulsion. His spirits also were no longer sustained by a - consciousness that he was pmeterlog. He had for some time bees more solimtonit to sustain his credit than to make pro fits, and tinder the existing distrust he soon saw that his ultimate ruin was inevitable; and all his efforts were directed to avert, as long as possible, the sure catsetrophe of public discredit. To this end, he was dirily compelled to sacrifice to usur ers, and to pureilase his 'upplics of merchandise at price, enhanced by the suspicions of keen sel lers. Even his ereitomers began to desert him, fur his goods were known to have been purchased at a disadvantagc„and were at least imagined to be dearer than the goods of other dealers.
