Those days ! of yore, when, wlrerp now stands the thriv- I ing village surrounded by its numerous farms | of corn-clad fields, or town and cities of lar ger growth, alone t r- •'! the fc-et of *the red man—the savage denizen of the Wilderness— I or roamed the scarce less savage wild beast !of fte forest. These trying tines, anterior to the'A morion Revolution, when hordes of i Indians, in retaliation for the cruelties inflict |ed upon them by the whites, continued an ! unceasing war of slaughter and depredation j upon the frontier settlement, burning the i dwellings, ind slaying alike the young and ! the aged with merciless barbarity, i At this time, at a point the farthest ex j tended of any of the frontier settlements of ! the Empire State, there were a few scatter ' ed log huts, situated at wide intervals apart, | in one of which lived an old, grav-headed i man, of the name of Hilton, with his wife 5 and only daughter; the latter a beautiful. I fair-haired girl, about eighteen years of age. i Mr. Hilton had moved from an older settle ment to his present abode, some years he i fore, at which time he had three up-grown sons : (wo of whom had since perished in a reconnoitre with the Indians, and the other had fallen a victim to the fever, incident of j life in a newly settled country. When he j had followed the remains of his last son to j the grave, he could have wished to return i hack with the still surviving portion of his family io their former place of abode ; hut so severe was the shock in his parental feelings at the loss of his children, that his hitherto strong mind became suddenly feeble and in ert, and h's future seemed changed from vig orous activity to that of listless apathy. A few months previous to the last bereave men of Mr. Ililton, a young man, named Lawrence Kerritt, took up his abode in the settlement, with whose family Mr. Hilton had been acquainted some years previously, and through which circumstances he was placed on a footing of intimacy with the Ilil tons, from the moment of his 'appearance.— He soon began to show marked attention to the fair Eva, the old man's daughter, evinc ing a strong wish to win her regard in re turn. With slight success, however; for, though site ever received him with the cheer ful demeanor dun to her fathers guest, he failed to impress her with a warmer feeling. Not that she absolutely him, or that there was anything in lfts and manner to cause ropugnifjfe p e was tall and manly, and had a cSutenanee both pleasing and handsome, audhis address and general behavior, when in her Bociet,y was free and open—seeming to spring from a kind and honorable disposition. lie was more succesful iu gaining the pre possession of Mr. Hilton and her brother, who both expressed the pleasure it would give them to have him become a member of their family, he having at Login hinted his wishes to that effect ;. though s* yet he had refriined from to Eva. Their relative pasitimfs contiuued thus, "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT.-Thoma fl Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1863. until some time after the death of Eva's only surviving brother, when Lawrence declared bis intention of paying a visit to the dwelling of his parents, then residing at a distance of over a hundred miles. lie then formally stated his hopes of becoming united to Eva on his return, and begged Mr. Hilton to use his tnlluence with his daughter in persuading her to accept him. The latter replied that ho would do so, but, at the same time, should she express any aversion to the match, ho would not attempt to force her against her will. Lawrence had easily seen that Eva had felt the same indifference towards him as ever, and had taken this plan as the most probable means of iuliuonciug her feelings in his behalf; so, her father being now so fee ble as to be scarce able to provide their most necessary wants, and that he would necessa rily advert to the circumstances of how much better would be their situation by re quiring a son-in-law, who could perform the most laborious duties of their clearing, her love for the aged parents would induce her to listen to the proposal more readily from them than if he himself addressed her on tho subject. And, doubtless, such would have been the case; for she dearly loved her parents, and would scarcely have shrunk from any sacrifice by which thev might have been benefited. Rut a circumstance shortly after occurred, and before Mr. Hilton had mentioned Lawrence's offer to Eva, which changed the current of affairs, and effectual ly crushed all hope of a union between them. Eva had gone out into the woods to gather some herbs, and had rambled to a considera ble distance from the settlement, when, just as she was about to retrace her steps home ward, an Indian sprang from a thick hush behind her aud seized her in his arms be f ro she was scarce aware of his presence.— Placing one hand upon her mouth, to pre vent the piercing cries she instantly uttered for help, lie raised her from the ground, and began to walk rapidly in an opposite direc tion from her home. Giving up all hope of assistance, she offered one silent prayer for mercy, and then lost ail consciousness of her situation. \\ hen she recovered, she was re cliniug upon the ground, with her head rest ing upon the arm of a noble looking yoang stranger, dressed in the garb of a hunter whose rifle and bear skin cap were lying on the ground at a short distance. A little to the right lay the bodies of two Indians-, now stretched motionless; one of whom had the small round hole of a rifle bullet in the mid dle oi his forehead, and the other, who was the one who had borne Eva away, was dread fully cut and stabbed, as with the blade of a hunting knife. The circumstance occasion ing this scene may he thus stated : The young stranger was a resident of a distant settlement,* and was now on a hunt ing excursion, in company with tv.-o com panions, from whom, in the ardor of their chase after some deer, he had become sepa rated ; and he was on his way toward a point which they had mutually agreed upon as a place of meeting, should circumstances arise to part them, when he saw an Indian with Eva unconscious in his arms, and another advancing to meet him, a few yards distant. Instantly raising his rifle to his shoulder, he shot the latter through the brain, and sprang towards the other, who, seeing his companion fall, instantly dropped Eva to the ground, and turned to confront his foe. A short struggle ensued between them, from which the hunter escaped unhurt; for, chanc ing to seize the Indian's uplifted hand, in which gleamed tho blade of a tomahawk he had released from his belt, he delthim a suc cession of severe stabs with a long hunting knife, and thus saved Eva from a fate worse than death. lie accompanied his fair companion to her home, and having collected all the male in habitants of the village together, with the two hunters, his companions, whom he had again met, they started in pursuit of the rest of the Indians, who it was considered, might have accompanied the two who were killed > hut after a search of two days they again re turned without having succeeded in discov ering any others of the tribe. From this time the young stranger, whose name was Ilargrave, became a constant visit or at the house of Mr. Ililton, and soon won the love of the fair Eva ; who loved him not less for his courageous daring in her behalf, than the after evidence of his inanly hearing and great goodness of heart. From the first he sectned to take, a kind interest in the wel fare of their family, assisting her aged father with an almost filial attention, and unasked, performing the greater portion of the labor of their clearing, with untiring assiduity.— Before the return of Lawrence, he drew an avowal of reciprocal attachment from the lips of Eva, and gained the consent of her father to a speedy union ; Mr. Hilton having already spoken of the hopes of Kerrit to his daughter, and received from her an assur ance that she could net love him. Ilargrave was to proceed to the home of his parents, for the purpose of apprising them of his in tended marriage, and make all the requisite arrangements for a change of abode, as he in tended to make that of Eva's his future resi dence ; and as soon as hp returned the un ion was place. On the dayf rfcvioLS to his departure, Law- rence returned to the settlement, and 60on became aware of the change that had taken place. Without appeariug to notice it, how ever, he contiuued to visit the Hiltons, aud with the exception that there was a strange and unusual gleaming in his piercing black eyes, his demeanor was the same as before. Lut, about two weeks after the departure of Ilargrave, as he chanced to meet Eva alone, he at once addressed her with fleud like fierceness, charging her with perfidity towards him, and in conclusion, as he seized her rudely by the arm, pressed his lips close to her ear, and* swore, in hissing words of startling hatred, that he would have most bitter revenge. And he kept his word. M hen Eva left him, feeling more dead than alive, she staggered towards home, scarce conscious of existence ; for there had been such a world of deed hatred expressed in his flushed countenance, and such mean ing emphasis in his fiercely uttered words, as almost froze the blood within her veins.— She did not impart the interview to her pa rents, fearful that the shock it might occas ion would be too much for their now enfee bled minds. She would await the return of Ilargrave—he would protect her. ***** * * At length Ilargrave neared the settlement, buoyant with hopes of soon clasping the dear Eva to his breast, and calling her his own bright wife forever. As Ilargrave neared tho beacon of his dearest hopes, he trod to the greensward with a lighter tread, and al most quickened his pace to a run. Reaching a point where the road took a sharp turn, and beyond which the dwelling of the Hilton's could easily be distinguished, he bounded past the the projection, and cast a quick glance toward the home of his loved Eva. Suddenly he stopped, and passed his hand twice or thrice across his forehead, like one becoming bewildered. "My God !" he exclaimed, " what has happened !" and again started forward with fearful speed. The next moment l:c uttered a cry of keen agony, and fell his full length on the ground. Where should have stood the dwelling of his bride, now lay a mass of charred embers, and from the blackened heap still arose the thin, white smoke of the still smouldering fire beneath. When Dargrave p.t length retrained his consciousness there v. as a look of such keen anguish depicted on his couutenauce as no pen could possibly describe. The whole char acter of hisi.ee seemed changed. "V\ here once shone nought hut looks of kindness, now gleamed the pale, unearthly flashing of des pair. Not a muscle moved—he stood, with clenched hands—his eyes fixed intently upon the ruined home, .md his now bloodless lips pressed between Lis teeth, pale and immova ble as a marble statue. Then a change came over him. He raised his right arm to ward Ileavca, and his frame shook convul sively, while his lips moved in utterance of the hitter thoughts within. "Tie next mo ment he rushed towards the hut of the near est settler, with the wild look and energy of a maniac. From an aged female, tho only occupant of the dwelling, he was told that all tho iilale settlers had started, early ia the morning, in pursuit of the flenda who had sammittcd the inhuman act, and that they had not been heard from sinco. As to whether any or all of the Hilton family had been killed or burn ed, it was not known, as their log dwelling was a heap of ruins when first discovered. Providing himself with a few necessaries for his journey, he grasped his rifle ar.u start ed in pursit. Having returned to the dwell ing, he struck on the trail of the numerous footsteps from that point, and rapidly strode through the forest. As he pursued his on ward journey, the woods became more and more dense, till at length the broad, beaten track dwindled to a narrow pathway, scarce wide enough to avoid striking the numeroua interweaving branches which projected out ward at every step. Not once did he check his speed till the gray tints of the morning broke the gloom around, when he stopped behind a small brook, and after quenching his parched thirst with a long draught, he bathed his burning temples in the stream, and again continued on. He now directed his course towards a point of tho Mohawk, where that stream, at the present day, is almost joined by the bank of the Erie canal, and which ho knew to be a favorite ol the Indians, and where he probable that those who committed tl<e outrage on the Hilton's dwell ing would he likely to go ; for he bad given up all thoughts of being able to foHow the correct trail, so numerous were the footprints and so frequently did they diverge in oppo site directions. Again the shades of night gathered around him, yet still he continued on, apparently un mindful of fatigue, and with the same wild gleaming of his eye, as when he stood on the ruins of his loved one's home. And at length as the dawn of another day gilded the east ern horizon, he reached the falls of the Mo hawk, foot aire and weary, aud his strength utterly exhausted. Almost faliiug to the ground, he lay beneath a low, rocky projec tion, and was the next moment fast asleep. The scene around where he thus for a time lay buried in forgetfulness was inexpressibly wild and grand. To the right, aud along the line where now runs the Erie Canal, extend ed in a succession of low hills, whose undul ating surfaces were clothed with the bro.rn hued verdure autumn—long, thick grass, patched and dropping from the effects of a burning sun, intermixed with numerous beds of wild flowers, whose leaves were withering and strewing the ground with every passing breeze. Here and there grew innumerable bushes of brier and rose-tree, and in their midst, like the geni guardians of the scene pointed up all the tall aud graceful trunk of the poplar, the wide-spread sycamore, or the guar led and rugged limbs of the aeorned mo narch of the forest. Opposite to these hills rises a steep, conicle shaped mountain, and on the other side of the Mohawk as far as the eye can reach, extends the darkling gloom, of almost impenetrable woods—the growth of centuries long since past. Immediately opposite to the point where Ilargrave lay, the river emerged from the forest shade, arid after rippling over a continuous surface of granite rocks, whose rough and craggy bed juts out into a a thousand fantastic shapes, falls down a distance of nearly a hundred feet, into a wide, deep basin below. This b;i sin, which countless floods have hollowed out from the solid rock forms a wide circuit of considerable extent, with a narrow opening at the farther end, through which the pent-up stream rushes fiercely—dashing white foaiu against the sides, and which the water has long since worn as smooch as a wall of po lished masonry. But the most striking fea ture of this nature basin i 6 a sharp, eras -v *7 "OSJ point of rocK, winch juts out from the side fronting tue tails, and overhanging petq endic ular descent still greater than the distant still previously mentioned. The water be neath the cliff is still deep, aud clear as a crystal spring. At a short distance from the upper peak of tee rock, and extending along each si de for a considerable distance, v. as a low, overhanging ridge of granite which formed a natural path way towards tho edge of the basin; and it was beneath the shelter of the turning point of one of these, where Ilargrave lay ; and from whence a good view could be had of the open space lying between that situation and the surrounding woods. To return to the sleeper. lie had lain thus for several hours, when he was awakened by hearingthe shriek of a female ; and on sudden, ly raising his head from the ground, he behe'd that which caused his blood to course through his veins in wild fury, and his frame to trem ble with inexpressible emotion. Round the co.i.e. Oi t.ie point, cn tue opposite suo of the path-way, and at a distance of about a hundred feet was his ie,-ed Eva, struggling to free herself from the Lands of Lawrence Iver rit; and beyond, just within the edge of the woods, were some twenty or thirty Indians, nil duly equipped for war. In a moment Ilargravc's rifle was raised to his shouider, and, quickly lowered he eouh: not shoot Law rence witnout endangering the life of Eva. Grinding his teeth with hitter agony, he crouched upon the grass, his keen eye bent towards the villian for whose Mood he'now thirsted with almost demon like ferocity, fur the moment he rnigh t venture to fire. Twice he had taken deadly turn, and as often would the form of Eva become the shield of the fiend who had burned her father's dwelling, and caused her parent's death. He was about to raise his rifle for the third time, when the fair girl escaped from the grasp of Kerritt, and hounded toward the placo where Iler grave was crouching, wilh the speed of a star tled fawn. Running on, with her dishevelled hair streaming in the wind, she gained the extreme point of the jutting crag, aud stood, overhauling the stream below, with pahj face and detemdnd mien, which plainly told the firm resolve she had formed, should Law rence again attempt to seize her; and so quick had all this been accomplished that Ilargrave lay bewildered, and almost without power to move. Rut when she reached the cliff, and he could read the meaning of her eye's proud flash, he sprang to his feet, and uttering th e single word Eva, turned to Kerritt, who was standing at but a few paces dietant, with a look of deep and terrible meaning. Quick as light, he again raised his rifle, and pulled the trigger—the next instant flung it to the ground with a passionate gesture, ami draw ing his hunting knife, sprang towards his foe. In his eager anxiety he had knocked the prim ing from the pan, and had been, in conseque nce, unable to fire. The sudden apparance of Ilargrave, as tho' rising out of the earth, had for an in stant completely paralyzed the energies of Lawrence ; but when he saw him spring to wards him, with the huge knife brandished 'n his grasp, he made a step backwards, and, pulling a pistol from his belt, 6hot the former through the heart. Mingling with the sound of that fatal shot, there went forth a shrill agonizing cry from the bursting heart of Eva, as she clasped her hands above her head, with a look of unut terable anguish. But the next moment, seeing Lawrence stealing towards her, she cast one look towards Heaven—her quivering lips moved to and fro convulsively—uttered the name of her miurdered'lover, and sprang from the rock down to the deep watere he low ! During the foregoing scene the Ineians had gradually approached, and they had just reached to within a few feet of the pathway, I TEHMS : si.so FEn ANNTTM when the sharp crack ofa dozen rifles—whose swift mesaeugerß of death 'laid as many of ICU men in tho dust—echoed through the woods. The reet shoufe# wil* t war whoop, and turned to confront the foe. The next instant twelve more of their remaining number lay beside their fallen companions. There were but eight now loft, and Kerrit, who stood shaking with terror, as he saw a dozen settlers advancing swiftly toward theou' Escape was in vain ; they wore completely hemmed about on every hand. The rocky piecipice was in their rear, and fierce foemen in front. Short was the struggle—in a few n-. mutes tho Indians all lay dead unon the ground, and Kerritt was a prisoner ; for the settlers had shown the determined purpose of taking him alive.

Let us not be over-curious about the failings of others, but take account of our own; let us bear in mind the excellencies of other men while we reckon up our own faults, for shall wo be well-pleasing to God. For he who looks at the faults of oth ers, and at his own excellences, is injured in two ways ;by the latter he is earned up to ' arrogance, through the former he falls \nfo listlessness. For when he prcceives th&t such an one hath sinned very eas'ly he will sin himself when he preceivcs that ts'in aught excelled, i cry easily he becomoth arrogant, lie who consigns to oblivion his own excellen ces and looks at his failings only, whilst ho is curious inquirer into the excellences, not the sins of others, is profitable in many way. And how? I will tell you. When he sees that such an one hath done excellently, he is rai sed to emulate the same ; when lie sees that he himself hath sinned, he is ren lered humble and modest, fi we act thns—if we thus regu late ourselves—we shall bo able to obtain the good things wioh wo are promised, and in all our ways wo will a:bnowledg God— St. thry* sorton. —■.
