A LEAP FOR LIFE,
Kentucky ranks first among her sis
ter States for the daring courage and
high-toned honor of her chivalrous sons
—swift to take offence, and as quickly
to forgive, they avenge upon the spot,
but malice never harbors in their hearts.
Nature has given a benefitting home
to her favorite sons. The scenery of
Kentucky abounds in the wild and sub
lime, soft and beautiful. We see 'Knobs'
bristling with tall trees, rear their lofty
heads till they are lost in the clouds, and
then sink gently into lovely and teeming
valleys. Her rivers rush leaping, dash
ing, foaming, like mad demons down the
rugged heights, then gently flow along
through smiling meadows, with a bo
som unruffled as the face of a sleeping
babe.
The scene of this sketch is on the
'Rolling Fork.' On the right from the
water's edge rises perpendicularly a
'knob,' to the height of a hundred feet,
and then floats gradually to the summit.
This knob, to distinguish it from others,
was known as the Cedar Lick, from its
being entirely covered by tall cedars,
and the salt taste of the earth, which
the deer come in droves to lick.
Among those who were the first to
settle Kentucky, was the hero of our
tale, Daniel Banks, better known as hardy
Dan. Having been crossed in love, and
of a restless and danger-loving disposi
tion, he eagerly embraced the first op
portunity offered, to emigrate to the
'dark and bloody ground.' At the time
the following incident happened, he had
been three years in Kentucky, and to
gether with six of his companion?, he
had settled near the Cedar Lick.
In height, Dan was over six feet—
large limbed, of great strength, and the
best shot in the 'clearing.' Being bold
and fearless, he assumed the charge of
providing his companions with game.
Many were the hair-breadth escapes
from the savages while hunting. Cun
ning as were the 'red skins,' yet Dan,
by his wonderful skill in woo craft, al
ways contrived to elude their snares,
and generally left them to mourn one or
more of their braves.
Dan's favorite place for hunting was
the Cedar Lick. So hither he would
repair early in the morning, and con
cealing himself, watch for game. One
morning while thus occupied, he sat
down under a tree, and was soon wrapt
in deep thought. Suddenly the crack-,
ing of a twig struck his ear. Instantly
he crouched behind a tree, cocked his
rifle, and glanced in the direction from
which came the sound; but instead of a
fine buck beunding from the bushes, he
dark Anil.,
creeping through the bushes, about a
hundred yards from him. Quick as
thought Dan raised his rifle to his shoul
der, glanced along the barrel and fired.
With a yell the red skin leaped to his
feet, staggered a few paces, and fell to
the ground a quivering corpse.
Before Dan had time to reload, ano
ther savage who had crept up unperceiv
ed, sprang upon him, and both fell strug
gling to the ground, our hero under.—
Escape seemed now impossible, but ma
king an effort for his life, he exerted all
his immense strength, and turned his
assailant, but could not use his hands,
for the Indian clasped him tightly around
the body. Having no other weapon, he
seized him by the throat with his teeth,
and ground them till they met. The re
laxed hold and stiffened limbs of his
enemy soon told how deadly was the
bite of the Kentuckian. Already the
woods resounded with the yells of nu
merous savages. In flight lay his only
chance of escape, but where 1 On every
side except. toward the river, were ene
mies ; the woods appeared alive with
them. But Dan was not a man to sub
mit tamely. He knew well the horrid
death he would suffer were he taken,
and he had often sworn to kill himself
rather than be toasted alive for the a
musement of a pack of murdering red
skins. The Indians pressingclose, drove
him to the river bank. He could go no
further, for he was on the brink of a pre
cipice. He shuddered as he looked from
the dizzy height at the and rapid
stream, far, far below, but close behind
were his blood-thirsty pursuers. 'Bet
ter,' exclaimed he, 'be dashed to pieces,
than be toasted alive.' He hesitated
but for a moment. Collecting all his
strength for the leap, and casting one
look to Heaven, ho sprang from the
peak just as the savages gave a yell of
the fiercest joy at the certainty of secur
ing their prey.
Down, down he sped with the swift
ness of an arrow, struck the water and
disappeared. He soon rose to the sur
face and floated a moment, stunned. On
recovering he struck out for the opposite
bank, gained it, and disappeared in the
forest.
The descendants of the hardy pioneer
still point out to the wandering traveller
the spot where Dan Banks took his 'leap
for life.'
Serving a Landlord
A jolly son of the emerald isle, with
his bundle and stick on his shoulder,
"hove to" one evening at a hotel a
well known town on the Juniata, and at
once introduced himself to the landlord.
"Long life to you, Misther Turner.—
They told me ye's a kind hearted man,
and keeps a first rate house, and that
ye's a generous man and clever to stran
gers, and if ye's agreed, I'll be after
atayin' with ye till to morrow." "Cer
tainly," said the landlord, and he took I
charge of his bundle, and gave him the
best the house afforded. After break
fast our Irishman called for his bundle,
and said he believed he'd be after start
ing. " But your bill isn't paid yet,"
said mine host. " Shure enough Mis
ther Turner," replied our hero, as if just
recollecting himself; "but I haven't no
money, and I just thought may be you
wouldn't charge me for the bite of vic
tuals." "But why didn't you tell me
last night you had no money'!" " Faith,
an' I'm sorry to tell ye's this morning !"
It is needless to add that lie at once went
scot free.
A PRIVATE SOLDIER.—G 0 * de L 5 * *,
the inimitable army correspondent of the
N. Y. Spirit of the Times, in his last let
ter, furnishes the following anecdotes :
"It is creditable to the gallant Capt.
Henry, of the 3d, to record the sayings
of these brave men, whose deeds in arms,
while they serve to emblazon the glory
of a commander, are too often obscured
by the light they have contributed to en
kindle.
" On the :2 1s t , a private of the 3d In
fantry was mortally wounded by a can
non ball. An orderly passing by him,
the man asked him for a drink of water.
He gave it to him, and asked him if he
could do any more for him. 'Yes, my
friend, you can—take my musket back
to the 3d Infantry. I am a dead man,
but I woule like my piece to go back to
my old regiment.' The musket was
faithfully delivered. and the poor fellow
died.
" Another of our men, in dashing
across one of the streets, was struck in
the leg by a ball. He clapped his hand
upon the spot, turned on his well leg,
and exclaimed, 'Boys, I've got my ticket,
I'm off for camp."'

M'ALLISTER'S
ALL-SEALING OINTM
Insensible Perspiration.
THE preceding figure is given to rep
resent the insensible perspiration.—
It is the great Evacuation for the impu
rities of the body. It will be noticed
that a thick cloudy mist issues from all
parts of the surface, which indicates
that the perspiration flows uninterrupt
edly when in health, but ceases when
we are sick. Life cannot be sustained
without it. It is thrown off from the
blood and other juices of the body, and
disposes by this means of nearly all the
impurities within us. The language of
scripture, " in the blood is the life."—
If it ever becomes impure it may be
traced directly to the stoppage of the
" insensible perspiration." Thus we
see all that is necessary when the blood
is stagnant or infected, is to open the
pores and it relieves itself from all im
purity instantly. Its own heat and vi
tality are sufficient, without one particle
of medicine, except to open the pores
upon the surface. Thus we see the folly
of taking so much internal remedies.—
All practitioners, however, direct their
efforts to restore the insensible perspira
tion. The Thompsonian, for instance,
steams ; the Hydropathist shrouds in
wet blankets ; the Homoeopathist deals
out infintissimals ; the Ailopathist bleeds
and doses us with mercury, and the
blustering Quack gorges us with pills.
I have had physicians, learned in the
profession, I have had ministers of the
Gospel, Judges of the Bench, Aldermen
and Lawyers, gentlemen of the highest
erudition, and multitudes of the poor,
use it in every variety of way, and there
has been but one voice—one united,
universal voice—saying, " M'Allister
your Ointment is good."
CONSUMPTION.—It can hardly be cred
ited that a salve can have any effect
upon the lungs, seated as they arc with
in the system.. But if placed upon the
ckest, it penetrates directly to the lungs,
separates the poisonous particle, that
are consuming them, and expels them
from the system. I need not say that
it is curing persons of Consumption con
tinually, although we are told that it is
foolishness. I care not what is said, so
long as 1 can cure several thousand per
sons annually.
HEADACHE.—The salve has cured per
sons of the Headache of It year's stand
ing, and who had it regularly every week,
so that vomiting often took place.
Deafness and Ear ache are helped
, with like success.
COLD FEET.—Consumption, Liver Com
plaint, pains in the Side or Chest, falling
off the hair, one or the other, always
accompanies cold feet. . It is a sure sign
of disease in the system to have cold
feet.
The Salve will cure every case in
Scrofula, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Liver
Complaint, Sore Throat, Bronchitis,
Broken or Sore Breast, Piles, Chest Dis
eases, such as Asthma, Oppression,
Pains, also Sore Lips, Chapped Hands,
Tumors, Cutaneous Eruptions, Nervous
Diseases, and of the Spine there is no
medicine known probably so good.
BURNS.-It is the best thing in the
world for Burns, (Read the directions
around the box.) _
Pimples on the face, Masculine Skin,
Gross Surface.—When there is grossness
or dull repulsive surface, it begins to
soften until the skin becomes as smooth
and delicate as a child's.
WonMs.—lf parents knew how fatal
most medicines were to children taken
inwardly, they would be slow to resort
to them. Especially mercurial lozen
ges,' called medicated lozenges,' ver
mifuges,' pills,' &c. The truth is, no
one can tell, invariably, when worms
are present. Now let me say to parents,
that this salve will always tell if a child
has worms. It will drive every vestige
of them away. (Read the directions
around the box.) There is probably no
medicine on the face of the earth at
once so sure and so safe in the expul
sion of worms.
OLD SORES.—That some sores are an
outlet to the impurities of the system,
is because they cannot pass off through
the natural channels of the Insensible
Perspiration. If such sores are healed
up, the impurities must have some other
outlet, or it will endanger life. This
salve will always provide for such emer
gency.
RHEUMATISM.—AImost every case cu
red with this ointment.
FEVERS.--In all cases of fever, the
difficulty lies in the pores being locked
up so that the heat and perspiration can
not pass off. If the least moisture could
be started, the crisis has passed and the
danger is over. The all-healing glut-
went will in all eases of fevers almost ALEXANDRIA. FOIJNDRY•

the first bottle of which gave me relief,
checked my cough, loosened the phlegm,
caused me to expectorate freely, restored
my appetite, relieved the pain in my
side, healed the soreness of my breast,
and strengthened my lungs, causing me
to breathe freely. I have now taken tea
bottles ; it has entirely cured my cough.
I have gained considerably in flesh. I
think it a most valuable medicine, and
one that ought to be universally known,
that those afflicted with colds and coughs
may have a medicine both safe and sure
to cure, if taken properly. While taking,
the medicine, I drank freely of molasses
and water, which I found excellent to
keep the bowels open, If this state
ment can be found of any benefit to the
afflicted, you are at liberty to make such
use of it as you may think proper.
