THE FRONTIER WEDDING; -
13Y THE 1111i1STER'S WIFE
.one,,day 'in early winter my husband
received . a .suunons to Burke's settle-
ment, to unite a couple' in the 'bonds of
wedlock. It 'Was especially requested
that his wife, should accompany him, as
we should be expected to remain all
night and partake of the festivities. •
It was twenty miles to the settlement,
and we reached the log house of Mr.
Burke, the father of the expectant bride,
about noon. ciozen towhairect chil-
dren were at the door, waiting our arri
val. They telegraphed the news in
stantlY.
"Marna! marmt here's the elder and
hi. 6 woman! They're nothing but folks!
She's got a man's hat on, and a turkey
wing in front of it; his nose is just like
dad's—crooked as , a cowhorn squash."
'Alas for Mr. Morrison's aquiline nose,
of whichhe was a little vain!
"Sam !"-cried a shrill, female voice
from the interior'of the cabin, "run out
and grab the rooster, add I'll clap him
into the pot! Sal you quit that chupi
and sweep that floor. Kick that corn
dodger under the bed. Bill. you Wipe
the tallow out of that cheer for the
minister's wife,' and be spry •about it."
Further remarks were cut short by
our entrance.
- ,Mrs. Burke, in calico short gown, blue
petticoat and bare feet, came forward,
wiping her face on her apron: -
.. `How do yen do elder? HOW d'ye do
Di arEa ? Must excuse _my head—haint
-had ebance .to' comb it .inee lase week:
"Work must be did, you know. -Power
ful sharp air, hain't it?_, Shoo; there!
Bill drive that turkey out of the bread
trough. Sal, take .the lady's things.
Set right up to the fire maw. Hands
cold? Well, just run 'em in Bill's hair—
we keep it long a purpose."
'Bill presented his shaggy head, but I
declined with au involuntary shudder:
, "Law, if she ain't actually a shiver
ing!" cried Mrs. Burke. "Bring in
sonic more wood. - Here mam, take this
hot:corn-dodger inter yer lap-- 7 it's, as
good as a soapstone."
fearful squall announced • the, exe
cution of the rooster, and shortly after
ward he was bouncing about in a four
quart kettle, hung over the fire. - Sal
returned to her churn ; but theextraordi
nary visitor must have made her care
ieSs, for she upset the concern, and but
,tennilk_Went swimming Over the floor.
"Grab the, ladle, Bill," cried Mrs.
Burke, "and help dip it up. Take keer—
don't put that snarl of hair in. Strange
.how folks-will be so nasty. 'Dick, do
keep your feet- out of the buttermilk • it
won't be fit for the pigs, when the bUt
ter's gathered. Drive that- hen out,
quick; she's picked up a pound already.
- There, Sal, do try and churn a little
more keerfuL If you - are a gwine to be
"spiced, ter-mOrror, you need'nt run cra
zy about it." ,
"'`Ladvise.youlo dry , up !",-, remarked
the bride.elect, -thumping away at the
churn: --
. •
By the time I hadKot fairly warmed,
dinner was ready, ant you may be sure
Xslid - not injure myself by over-eating.
Night came on early, and after a social
chat about the event of the morrow,
signified iny desire h, retire. '
tial, lighted a pitch-knot, and began
climbing a ladder in .one corner of the
room: I hesitated.- -
''Come.on," said she, don't be afraid,.
'Sam,--and Bill, and Dick, and all the
rest of ye, duck ,your heads while the
''elder's wife goes up. Look out for the
; 19oseboards,,martri ; and mind, or you'll
fli . E0:11 Your brains out against that beam.
.Take keen of whole where the chim

Her warning came too late Icaught

and fell headlong through what ap
iieared to be interminable space, but it
Was to the room I bad just . left, where I
was saved from destruction by Bill,
who-caught me in his arms, and set me
op my feet remarking coolly,—
'!What made you come that way?
We kencrally use the ladder."

Shipwreck of the Evening Star—State
nient . 'of - aSureiving Paisenger.
William H., Harris, one of the passen
gers Who escaped the terrible shipwreck
of the steamer Evening Star, which oc
curred' recently on the Carolina coast,
and which resulted ihthe loss of about
three hundred liVes, Makes the follow
ing statement :
The mail steamship Evening Star,
Captain Knapp, sailed from New York
September 29, at three o'clock P. M.—
On the morning of the 2d of October it
,began to blow, pretty hard, and contin
ued to increase gradually; until the mor
ning of the 3d, when it blew 'a perfect
hurricane. 'At thiS • time we were 180
miles east of Ty bee island., After wea
thering the storm tor f6urteen hours, she
fouuderedat daylight on. the' fuorfling
of the 3d, with two hundred and seven
ty-five souls on board, only stheen - of
whom were saved. I-will endeavor to
relate the'details of the calamity so fir
as.l can of my own knowledge. About
five o'clock on the morning of the 2cl it
began to blow vetiy hard. I stood in the
doorway of what was called the social
hall,' which is a little saloon at the head
of the stairway leading to the main sa
loon. This saloon was filled withladies
at this time. At six o'clock the 'vessel
commenced to ship such heavy seas that
the floor of the hall was covered with
water, and made it very disagebeable
for theladies to remain .there. .1 went
down into the dining room and laid
down, but found that the water had of

was-speedily. repaired, in a manner suffi

the time. At 12 o'clock the vessel be
came' unmanageable, from losing the
use orthe rudder. 'At two o'clock we

for the purpose of bailing the water out
of the hold. ,We took sufficient freight
out to enable 'us to look in, 'but found
but a few inches of water. However,

was in of being struck by pieces of the
flying wreck which were being hurled
about in all directions by the wind and
waves. I then got hold of a piece of
the fragments of the saloon, u pon which
I pulled myself, but was thrown off a
gain and again by the violence of the
waves; in each new effort to regain my
position, lacerating my hands and limbs
on the nails and splinters in the pieces
of wreck. In this way I clung to life
for two or three hours. While drifting
about in this way, I could see the whole
of the wreck as it lay drifting before me.
I saw the hur,ri cane deck, two hundred
feet long, crowded with human beings,
herded together. Some of these were
standing, and some sitting, all helpless
and despairing. I now drifted near a
life-boat, keel up, for which - I abandon
ed my piece of wreck and swam. Oth
ers were clinging to it, whom I assisted
to right it. When I succeeded in get
ting in with the others, I recognized
the purser, Mr. Allen. There were now
ten of us, but after this we were fre
quently upset, each time losing one or
more of our number, and again adding
tr' lhem by picking up others. Help
less to manage the boat, which was fill
ed with water and drifting at the mercy
of the sea, we passed and repassed the
wreck during the day. Towards eve
ning we lost sight of it. We had now
been sitting in the water all day long,
and when night came on we began to
feel the want of food and water, but we
had neither. Just after dark I picked
up a turnip, of which we each took a
bite, and thjs was all we ate during the
day. We were now so dry that some
drank sea water, which made them very
flighty, while othersi drank their own
urine, whieh answered better. •The
morning of the 4th was very fflae, so we
determined to get the water oat of our
boat.
At daylight we came up to one of the
wrecked, who was floating on a piece of
the cabin, and had an oar with which
to guide his craft. We got alongside
and put some of the men on it, after
which we upset our boat, thus getting
the water out of it. We then got in a
gain, and felt comparatively comforta
ble, but still suffering for the want of
food and water. We then rigged two
masts out of pieces of the wreck, and
made sails out of the coverings of the
life- )reservers. We then headed east
ast. eight o'clock we fell in
le third mate, with nine men in
a er life-boat, who gave each of us
a handful of crackers; but unfortunate
ly, our "throats were so parched with
long thirst, and by drinking sea water.
we were unable to swallow this food.—
The two boats then parted company,
we taking a more northerly direction
than the other. At two o'clock on the
sth we fell in with the Norwegian bark
Fleetwing, from Belize, Honduras, for
Liverpool, which took us on board.—
Here we remained thirty-three hours.

crew. He floated for some time, but
while clinging to one of the life-boats
he was struck on the head by a piece of
timber and killed. On our arrival at
Savannah, the purser, Mr. Allen, did
everything that was in h 1.3 power to
make us comfortable. We had lost ev

still lame and sore, but will be all right
in a few days. One of the passengers
on board the Evening Star was Captain
Joseph P. Robinson, of Boston, a brave
and gallant man. He was one of the
coolest men on board the wreck, and
labored manfully to save the ship and
to calm the fears of the women and
frightened men. He struggled hard for
his life, but was struck by a piece of the
floating wreck, and went down. The
women on board thwhip behaved no
bly during the terrible scenes of the
tempest, yielding a ready compliance
to all orders given them. There were
about forty prostitutes on board the
ship, but they had behaved with great
propriety from the first. There were
but two or three exceptions to this, and
they were not particularly had. Most
of the women had been obliged to re
main in their rooms, or in the saloons,
previous to the storm, owing to the
rough weather. Many of them were
sea-sick, as indeed were many of the
men. One of the prostitutes, who was
the proprietress of an elegant house of
ill-fame in New Orleans, had a beauti
ful pair of ponies on board and a tine
new carriage. They were all anxious
' to work when danger appeared, and
some of them did good service.

Thirty Years Captivity Among the

Thr years ago-, When Jackidnewas ,

young woman might have
bee '" - ,
one sultry day in August, az
coWpdffled by a little boy five years old,
wading her way toward a grove iu the
neighboring town of Blackman, for the
purpose of, enga,jeing in,. the then com
mon pastime .otepicking berries. The
young woman:after toiling away fora
while, becarnelannoyed with the cease
less importu nitfahf the child, and sent
him home. She tho ughte nothing more
of the matter till, uponlier return in
the evening, she was siikOsed to find --'-'-'
that the boy had not returned. In re
ply to the queries of the anxious pa
rents, the girl related the circumstances
narrated above, and added that she knew
nothing of the whePeabouts of the child.
Day alter clay passed, and still the mis
sing member of that distracted family
did not return, nor could any tidings of
him be heard by his agonized parents,
Finally, after every searching party who
went out to find the missitg one had
returned and reported, their mission
fruitless. Laid after all hope of ever see
ing their darling boy again had vanish
ed from the minds of the afflicted pa
rents, suspicion began to fasten upon
the young woman, who was a servant
in the family. 'She Again ,veerted her
innocence, and stated : thae knew
nothing of the riaissiOgeOy from the
time she had sent hitnieward. In
e .' S 4 of her protestationsi e ', l hewever, she
irrested for the Murder of the boy,

tir , Aincarcerated in the rude lock-up
which had been erected by the early
settlers. Here she was kept for a time,
till it beclium apparent that no evidence
could be obtained, when she'was dis
charged from custody, still asserting her
innocence to the parents of the child,
who longed for some tidings thatwould
dispel the uncertainty which hung over
them like a cloud. Their hopes how
ever were doomed to disappointment,
as nothing could be heard from the mis
sing one, and he was - finally numbered
with the dead, and the parents gave up
all hopes of ever hearing of their lost
boy again.
Years passed, and the little hamlet be
came a large and flourishing city. The
solitude which formerly reigned on the
bank of the grand river was broken by
the mechanic and the artisan, and the
air resounded with the busy hum of in
dustry. :. - early all the old settlers had
passed away, and another ~generation
succeeded them. Among:letheany
new comers was a son-ingaw of The af
flicted, Mr. J. Z. Ballard, our fellow
townsman, who was greatly surprised a
few days since to learn that the boy,
Who had long been numbered with the
dead, bad arrived in the southern part
of this State and was making inquiries
after his family, The boy had grown
to be a stalwart man of thirty-five. His
countenance had become bronzed by
continuous exposure to the elements,
and his sinewy frame hardened by re
peated adventures in the Western wilds.
He States that he had but a dim recol
lection of his former home, but vividly
remembered the time when two stal
wart forms with red visages crossed his
path, snatched him up in their arms,
and carried him off amidst his piteous
cries for his loving mother. Since that
time he has been constantly with tho
Indians, joined them in their hunting
expeditions, and followed their trail as
they journeyed toward the setting sun.
He learned to speak the language of the
Pottowatomiee—for that was the name
of the tribe with which the greater part
' of his life had been spent; and in an
swer to his repeated inquiries, his cap
tors told him they had stolen him fro
Jackson county, and that his name w
‘Villey. The Indians confounded th
name with Filly, which is the real name
of his father. Mr. Ballard went in ye.t'
`quest of the missing one, and upon ar- ''-
riving at the place where he had been
making inquiries, was told that he hatife
gone away, but would. return in a fe,:''''''
days, when he will return to the home
of his aged parents, to make glad the
hearts of an afflicted father and mother.
PEANUTS.—Every boy in America
likes peanuts, and yet very few of them
know where they come from. They
eau be grown in almost everybody's
yard, hut they flourish in North Caro
lina. Upon the sandy lands in the
neighborhood of Cape Fear they raise
from fifteen to 75 busels to the acre.
At the price of $l,OO per bushel, it
proves a profitable crop. The cultiva
tion of it is easy ; first the plough, then
the sweep and weeding hoe. The vino
makes an excellent forage for cattle,
equal to the best northern hay. From
the nut is pressed a valuable oil, which
has a peculiar value, from the fact that
it will not gum. It is used in the prep
aration of medicines, for burning pur
poses, and is largely introduced as a
condiment in salads. Such and so va
ried and important are the uses - Le which.

THE VALUE OF A LITTLE
Do thy little, do it well :
Do what right and reason tell;
Do what wrong and sorrow claim;
Conquer sin and cover shame.
Do thy little, though it be
Dreariness and drudgery;
They whom Christ's apostles made,
"Gathered fragments" when Be bade
Do thy little ; never mind
Though thy bretbrembe unkind;
Though the men who ought to smile,
Mock and taunt thee fora whits.
Do thy little: never fear
While thy Saviour 3tandeth near;
Let the world italavolines throw,
On thy way undaunted go.
Do thy little; God bath made
Million leaves for forest shade;
Smallest stars their glory bring,
God employeth everything.
Do thy little, and when thou
Feelest on thy pallid brow,
Ere has 'fled the vital breath,
Cold and damp the sweat of death=
Then the little thou hest done,
Little battles thou heat won,
Little masteries achieved.
Little wants with oare relieved,
Little words in love expressed.
Little wrongs at once confessed,
Little favors kindly done,
Little toils thou didst not shun,
Little rues meekly worn,
Little slights with patience borne—
These shall crown thy pillowed bead,
Holy light upon thee shed
These are treasures that shall rise
Far beyond the smiling skies.
