A TALE OF FRONTIER LIFE.

upon its sylvan bounty, lies upon the waters of
the Blue Stone River, in Virginia, at the south•
western pert of that State Under the shadow
of mieity hills, with a climate as warm and
genial as the Bermudas, a ant rich and yielding,
and an expanse of scenery, almost unrivalled in
its immediate neighborh.xtd, it was no wonder
that this valley presented the strongest induce
meats to a few of the struggling and hard.work.
ing settlers who had !andel on less inviting soil.
Among these were two families, named Moore
and lying, who removed to this beautiful valley
in 1775, each having large families of children
to support, and finding it difficult and almost lin
peti,thle to raise for them the ordinary means of
subsistenOe. Here, however, the difficulties
seemed to vanish at once; and the rude log cab.
ins, inhabited by the two friendly families, were
the abodes of more real happiness than is tat u
found in the palaces of the great

ers of many horses and cattle; and the abundant
fields of the delicate Virginia white corn, the ea•
tensive tobaece patches, and the abundant pas.

For miles along the half made and irregular
roads, extended thick shrubberies of the fragrant
peavtue and sweet myrrh, and vr,ld loses and

James Moore was a true, good, Christian man.
Every day on his tended knees, be blessed God
for letting his lines fall in this goodly place; and
the aspirations of his bean were, that his chil
dren might live out their lives here, in undis
turbed serenity, far from the !snares and tempta
tions of the busy world.
.1 . 4111 Ivins counted eight children, and .James
Moore ten, when they had lived nine years in
App's Valley, and happier sod better children
the sun never shone on Sometimes, it is true,
they would shudder sod cower at the thought of
the hands of savages which w ere se b=teln
Stie borders or the State; and the gentle mothers
would turn away their own pale faces, when
they were spoken of, lest the little ones should
gather new terrors from their looks
still they had been bore so long, and no iu•
trusion having ever been wade on their prenit
sex, that they naturally gathered eiurage with
each passing year, and when Mary Marc was
sixteen years old—a fair, gentle little maiden as
ever graced such a sylvan abode—and baby Mar
garet was just beginning to walk ib.tie, the law.
ily had attained almost teimpleto security.
The boys of the Moore family were .trong,
hardy, brave and courageous; giving good and
efficient help to their (allot, and emulating the.
y o u ng ions of John 'vine in every enterprise of
athletic labor or sport. Circumscribed as ihey
must necessarily be iu the mean, of education,
and be enjoyment of society, they were never
thelees, neither ignorant Our lonely in their se•
elusion. Tu Mary Moore, e-pecially, ktriwledge
came appareutly by lutuition, and ale imparted
it us all around her.
Her days were devoted+ to the work of the
household in which she miasma her mother; but
the law evenings saw her teaching her brothers
and those of Martha tains, who was her friend
and almost constant companion. Of these broth.
era of Mary, James, the neat to her in age was
the meet dearly loved. Fur him and baby Mar•
garet, Mary wad have given up her life, if re
quired, without a murmur; and although kind
and good to all, the choicest of ber gifts—the
finest fruits, the most delicate stockings which
she spun and knit, and the whitest of her cloth,
when it came from the bleaching ground—were
alwsys . for these two
She bad given the last polish one morning in
ironing a blue and white striped linen suit which
she had woven expressly for James, bad careful
ly turned over the broad white shirt collar, End
daintily wound his shining curls over her finger,
preparatory to his setting off for the mill, with a
peat sack of corn, on the back of Brown Peggy,
who was thus named out of compliment to the
baby She looked at the handsome lad with an
expression of love and pride; and a feeling as if
be particularly belonged to her, came up in her
heart more distinctly than ever, on that morning
She lingered at the door, until she saw him ride
down the bill, turning round to bid good by in
his own free and affectionate way. Nor did she
quit gating after him natal a clamp of trees quite
hid him from her sight; and even then she wao
only recalled by a laugh from Martha Ivins,whs
bad been wakihiog her.
"Nay, now, Mary dear," said the good.hamir
ed girl, "obe would think that Jemmy win de
parting to a far off oountry, instead of simply
riding over to the vial Why, you are as thought
ful and silent. as my mother is to, dal Pray,
what has oome over you all?" r i
Mary looked up to Mrs. Ivies, who stood at:
the window of the log house opposite, and saw
that.she had a sad look, such as she never saw
her wear before Almost mechanically, she fol
lowed Martha in, saying, as she did so:
"I cannot tell Martha, but I felt a terrible
sinking of the heart this morning—l think &their
calls it a presentiment—that I cannot amount
for. I could not tele to see James go away this
morning; for, although Peggy is so eure•footed,
still I could not help feeling that an accident
might happen, even to her. Bat don't tell moth
er that I feel so, Mrs. tying," she continued,
"for I dare say it is all a mere notion."
Mrs Ivies could not reply. She too bad bad
the same presentiment of coming evil, all 'kat
'morning: and she longed to see the families to
gether, the day's work over, and all in safety.—
Mary returned to her ironing table, but there
was no bright polish on the clothes, no strength
in the band that held the iron; and two or three
times the sat down and turned so pale that her
mother bade her leave the board, and lie down
on the old high backed settee. Mr. Moore came
into dinner, and "the boys came with him. They
sat down at the table, but one seat was empty.
"Where is James?" be asked. "Surely he
must have some from the mill. Go, and look
for him, William."

((Very strange," said Ms. Moore; but apps
reati be forgot all about it, for he was soon ea•
criin dimming a new-feehioatia plough with
, who had been reading of the novel inven
tion, and wished his father tamed to Jamestown
to get it.
Dinner was finished, sod the afternoon wore
slowly on. The father and sons had returned to
the field, and Mrs. Moore,
busy, at first, in mix
ing oornoskes for supper , did not aeon to think
more of the absent one than onee in a while to
look out of the window and wonder that he was
detained so long. Mary, usually to) waive. and
industrious, lay all the afternoon upon the set
tee, with her hand over her eyes, as if suffering
from hea4aehe, but in reality weeping. TIN sun
was almost down when she sprang from her bard
couch, and ran out to the field.
"Father," she said, trembling all over with
excitement and terror, "father, do for the love
of !leaven, go and see what bas become of poor
James. Perhaps ho is drowned in the river;
perhaps, 0, father, toe Indians-." She drop.
ptd lifeless to the ground as she spoke.
Mr Moore, now thoroughly alarmedi told the
youngest buy to call his mother, then ,shouting
to lions and his boys to join him, they 41l moun
ted on horseback and made their way to the mill.
The miller said be bad delivered the meal to the

that my tittle troy came in at the seine moment
that James left, and began telling me that be

was buoy and thought he wan mistaken, as I
knew he never caw one in his life."
Mr. Moore shook his head mournfully. Flow
could he go borne and bear this news to his wife
and Matey. flow could he return at all, with
out his son? lie motioned to John Ivins to gn
d.iwn the valley and search for him, and Jobe
understood him, though he heard no sound from
his lips The ,earth was iu vain, but an empty
canoe lay ou the bask of the river, and a horse's
footsteps were; plainly seen embedded in the soft
earth, quittlinto the forest; and the night shad_
ows were Ming too deep far any farther exam•
ination, until they could go home, procure lights
and reinforce their party Every man and boy
in App's Valley turned out, with torches made
q( pine knots, and scoured the wood wherever
there was a bridle path; but without effect, sod
thenceforth Tear and imeourity were their cow
panions day end night
James
- Moore did not return, and the absence
of the horse precluded the ides of an widest,
since the animal would have found his way home.
There we only one conjecture, and that pointed
to the !admits. [lns strangely hid that sad
event changed the whole aspect of the valley!—
Mrs Moore and Mary were worn to shadows
with anxiety; and the little children of both
families, who had roved at will through the
fields, were now shut up in the close- houses, and
soon began to pine fur the fresh, sweet air No

served them for a eellar; and with Martha and
the little out, she suAght, its shelter, and repla

moans and shrieks, and knew that the savages
were doing their terrible work; awl after a long
time in which she had succeeded in kinetkiag
Mararet to sleep, she heard the Indians enter.
T ey passed round through all the rooms, and
i
at last they seemed to be all marching out again,
with a slow, heavy tread that shook the floot,ail•
though, with the exception of the board &beim
her, tt was:composed of timbers. Their weighty
wad awoke the baby, and finding herself in the
dark, she btgan to cry, even though Mary put
her band on her little lip, to arrest her cries,
and tried to hush her in her arms It was too
late.. Ihellndians had heard that first wild cry,
and had turned back; and when the board was
lifte , a group cif frightful looking objects stood
l
&bow . their hiding place, and dragged them
rude y from it, and out upon the green. Mrs.
Moore sod:four of the children were tied to the
tree; three others, with their Esther, lay dead up
on the grabs. Of the lying family, none had
escap e d death, except Martha. '
It was well perhaps for the poor girls, that
they passed into temporary insetoolelity, other. '
wise insanity must have suoceeded this terrible
sight. When they revived, ebb was in the
arms of a stout savage, and others were driving
Mrs Moore and the'obildren aleing before them,
while baby Margaret was slang iiudely across the
shoulder of one of the tallest the tribe, the
child lying, or rather hanging 1 . e one dead.—
The( horrors of that day were e ffieient to quell
thelstouteit heart, yet the poor ildron endured
it With a fortitude that man fight equal, bat
never 6urriais John, the giros , apparently,
of the four who were tied with e mother, gave

They hod now eotere.l the forbst, and the cool
shade reviled themi, Margaret held out her lit•
tie arms to Mary, to be taken, Pita the Indian
who carried the obi, interpretg her look of
fear avid disgust at imself, held her out to Mary,
with the expression of a demon ppm) his face.—
She took bee in h arms, and fiat that moment
she saw the infant head droop, and a terrible

were to feed the &nee. Bat, oae by one, the
captives were alldisposed of, not:piing the two
young girls. They held out watil they reached
the camp of the savages, part of the way being
by water. Their captors had come up Sandy
River, and their canoes were ready on the beaks.
The few thin garments worn. by the maidens,
were tattered by their long walk through the
woods, and their feet were torn by the sharp
rocks. Never surely were there two so sorely to
be pitied. They who bad died were's& and et
rest; but what horrors might await these helpless
maidens t When they arrived, they wore put
wader the care of the squaws, who immediately
separated them, thus cutting off their last gleam
of comfort or consolation.
Both were set to the lowest and hardest tasks,
and as they were darkened by the sun, in their
long journey, and were now obliged to wear the
Indian costume, because their own clothes had
literally dropped to pieties, they were hardly dis.,
tingaishable from the young females of the tribe.
Certainly no one would have recognized sweet
Mary Moore in the bronzed maiden who waited
upon her lords like a slave

One day, towards the close of the fashionable
solemn at one of the most celebrated of the Vit..

box coder his arm, ade his appearance in the
frost yarl of the visitor's hotel. He was tall
and sinewy in person, with the air and deport.
meat of a foreigner. • The steady, gray eye, and
the rigid mould of his features, indicated'vigor of
will and energy of character. In other respects,
there was nothing noteworthy in his appearance
or movements.
Having approached to within a short distance
of the hotel, he deposited his box upon the
ground, uncovered it, and cookout • large rattle.

tightly around the body about six inehes from
the head, and fixing a steady gaze upon its glit
tering eyes. The reptile coiled its body around
the arm of the than, or writhed in slow, wavy
motions through the air, darting its 'snowy
tongue with a sibilant sound through the half
openedlaws In a few moments the erect head
drooped, the mouth closed, and the subdued ser
pent lay motionless in the hand of the operator,
who, during the whole performance, stood, erect
and silent, in the position be had first taken
A spectacle so novel and exciting, attracted at
once the attention of the visitors at the Springs.
The ladies crowded on the front gallery of the
hotel, and the men and boys gathered in a dense
Circle around the mysterious stranger, In witness
his perilous feat.
To convince the spectators that the exhibition
was not a decopi ion, the performer drew forth
another large rattlesnake from his hos, played a
short, blunt stick upright in its m ulth so as to
hold the faucet apart, and then, inserting anoth
er stick beneath the fangs, he pressed them out
wardly until their fall length was exposed to
view In thus condition he carried the reptile
round the circle of men and boys, and through
the cr iwd of ladies, that all might see it was a
veritable snake, armed - mith fang and poison,
with which his experiments were performed.—
This done, he returned to his first position, placed
the su)ke upon the ground, and commenced
kicking at it with great violence, taking care,
however, not to strike iv with his foot Quickly
irritated by the simulated assault, the snake
threw itself into a coil, shook its rattles, and
seemed eager to strike its assailant, who, leaning
forward, seized and held it up, writhing and hiss ,
ing, in his grasp. He looked steadily for a short
time into its eyes, when, as in the first eiperi ,
meat, the head drooped, the passion subsided,
and the serpent remained solelied and stilt in

came in one morning to the Sprinv, hringitg a
large rattlesnake which he had just caught in
the neighboring mountains. The snake tamer
paid the promised reward' for it, and proceeded
at once to subdue it in the presence of nearly all
the visitors
Raving cautiously removed the lid of the hoz
in which the snake was 1 4botinell, and turned it
over upon one side, ho withdrew a few Steps and
awaited the result. In, a few moments, a rusty
and most venomous looking rattlesnake, of eery
large size, crawled leisurely out upon the grass
with which the yard was covered. It is the na
ture of this species of the serpent race to-betray
neither (ear nor excitement at the presence of

The presence of the performer and of the large
crowd which surrounded bun, seemed not to dis
turb or evcu to arrest the attention of the scaly
monster, which, havinglcrawled forth nut of this
box, lay motionless and erterl , 4l to its full
length apnn the grass The snake tamer ap•

and rapid motions t..iwards its head with his feat
The reptile became furiously irrate in a mote-ni.
:lemming the coil, whieb is its natural position
both for attack and defense, it darted forth its
tongue and shook its rattles with the rapidity
and violence which produce their moat alarming
sound As the performer continued, at a safe
distance, the motions With his foot, the snake
soon became almost blind with rage- Its head
flattered, its eyes glittered like diamond paints,
and a fearful, prolonged hiss issued from its
month The man made one step towards it,
when, unable longer to control its passion to
strike, it leaped forward and fell, full length up
on the grass, close at his feet • Before it could
throwtself again intb l a coil, be seised it with a
firm grasp, about six inches below the head, and
holding it off at arm's length from his person,
lifted it up from the ground.
The rage and contortioni; of the now imprist
oned reptile were terrible to behold. Through
the air, and round and round the arm of the per
former, it twisted and writhed the etude extre
mity of its body, making, all the time, monoto

From the moment he first seised the snake, he
had looked, with a fixed, almost an unwinking
gaze, into his eyes, which the serpent apparently
retfrned with a look equal Mealy and Berm. By
degees the 'contortions of its body became lees

-vi o l en tly upon t* ground, exclaiming that he
was bitten-, inth/t hand. The crowd quickly
drew batik, and the stunned reptile lay motions
less where it fell. i
The man at ones applied his lips to the wound,
and sucked it witch great eagerness for sever a l
minutes. Riding no relief from the pain which
he endured, he next made several incisions, with
the point at his knife, in the flesh of his woundt

i n the wean time the virus, haiing become

SWolletl to enormous size, assumed s livid lute.—
Vertigo, nausea and stupor—the three meet latal
symptoms in oases of assault upon the powers of
life by reptile poisop—began to supervene.—
Death seemed inevitable, and almost at band.
The courageous man refused either to sit or
'lie down, but walked backward and forward, at.
tering occasionally a suppressed groan of anguish.
The torture of the pain he endured forced the
perspiration in streams from his forehead and
face To the enquiry of one who asked if be

imprecations, to kill them. The sick man, whose

threatened his uncouth favorites. Confronting

ted assault upon the snakes, he threatened to int
flint immediate and summary punishient for any
harm that might be done them. Awed by the
stern visage and fierce words of the man, the
Landlord demisted from his undertaking and re
r trod within the hotel. Such an outburst of pas.
and combativeness from one who seemed to
be already dying from the bite of one of the
monsters which he was so prompt to defend,
struck the livheiders with mingled astonishment
and aw.• Was it the delirium of approaching
death, or the madness of a wild attachment to
the reptile companions of his wanderings, that
tired his passions and led to the spectacle which
they had just witnessed ? No one could tell,
but all looked on, nmued and perplexed at what
they saw and heard.
It was with the snake tamer, now apparently
the last extremity, se with other mortals in
the final hour—the ruling passion prove& strong
to death. Being interrogated as to his feelings
and hopes in prospect, of impending dissolution,
be said that he experienced neither hope nor
fear in the contemplation of the great hereafter.
