THE BoTIDERHEROINE.
Some years ago, before the State of Ar
kansas was so densely populated as now, and
when the mail from Little Rock to the east
ern borders was carried on horseback, there
lived, a few miles above Hi rse Head, a stout
pioneer named Jacob Burnap. His wife Pol
, ly, and one child, nine years old, made up his
family. Ilts chief business was hunting, and
his unerring rifle never failed to supply his
board and something over. His nearest
neighbor was fifteen miles off,so he was trou
bled little with prying visitors.
It was in early spring that Jacob started
down the river with a boat load of furs and
6kins. He left Polly in charge of the premi
ses, a; d left with her, too, a light rifle and a
brace of pistols. She knew how to use the
rifle, for never was she happier than when
her husband patted her upon her shoulder
and cried, " Nobly done, Polly, my dear !
I could not have made a better shot my
self." And he had occasion to say this with
truth too.
Jacob Burnap had been gone four days
when towards evening, a horseman rode up
to the hunter's door. He was a small mascu
lar man, some forty years of age, and seemed
inured to all hardships. As he sprang from
the saddle, Polly made her appearance.
''Ah, Polly—once more here," the new
comer said, as he diew a well filled pair of
saddle bags from the back of bis beast.
''Yes, and I am glad to see you, Morton—
Jacob has been gone four days, and time is
getting heavy."
'•Jacob gone? Where?"
'•Down the river with a load of furs."
"Oh—ah—yes. Well, you shall have the
company of Lant Morion for one night at
least; so ffr the next twelve hours you'll feel
safe."
''Oh—l feel safe enough, returned the wo
man quickly ; "only lonesome."
Thus speaking, Morton threw his saddle
and saddle-bags into ;he cabin, and then led
hi* horse around to a low shed, where he
made the animal-fast and fed him. Alter
this he returned to the dwelling and entered,
and was soon (focussing the events of the
times over an ample supper. His hostess
told hitn all that had transpired in her neigh
borhood since his last visit, and the visitor
gave her the news from the eastern valley.
Lant Morton had been mail carrier upon
that rout for several years, and not once had
he passed to and fro,without spending a nigh*
at Jacob liurnap's. In fact, he was about the
only regular visitor at the hunter's cabin, and
atlhough the intervals between his visits were
long, yet he seemed almost a fixture of the
place. Polly Bunrap- -still i.i the bloom of
woman hood—knew his generous, noble char
acter, so she felt peifectly free and at home
in his presence.
"Is it known on the rout that your load is
so valuable?"
"I think not—though i t may be. Still I
amwell armed, and I fancy it would be a
tough job for any one to tackle old Lant.
•'A man was robbed on the creek a few
days ago."
"And the robbers have fledadded Mor
ton, carlessly. as ho drew his mail-bags after
him.
Morton went to bed at nine o'clock, as he
was tired and sleepy from his hard ride
P oily Lad work to do, having neglected it
while talking with her guest, so when she
had seen hitn safely at rest in the loft, she
drew her basket to the little table where the
candle was. and went to work upon some
clothing for her child who was soundly sleep
ing in the corner.
The old German clock upon the wall, with
its great weights and winding strings all ex
posed. had struck ten, ere Polly arose from
her work. She had just pushed the basket
beneath the table, and taken up the candle,
when the front door opened, and two men
entered. They were in their stockings, their
shoes having been left out side.
" Hush 1" uttered the foremost of the in
truders. "Speak but one word above a whis
per, and you die in an instant."
Polly recovered from her quick terror, and
looked up. She saw two, stout, wicked, ugly
looking men, one of whom held a cocked pis
tol towards her. * With a quickness of per
ception, natural to her, she knew that the
pistol would not be fired if she held her peace
as that would make more noise than she could
make. And further—she recognized in the
foremost a notorious villain, who bore the
name of Dick Galluse.
She had never seen him bofore, but the
minute description her husband had given of
the man, led her at once to know him—and
positively, too, for one big scar on the left
cheek was mark enough.
"What seek you, gentlemen?" asked Pol
ly. \vithout betraying the least fear.
"We have come to seek the mail carrier,"
replied Galluss, in a hoarse whisper. "Where
is he ? Don't speak too loud."
"He is long since asleep. Would it not do
as well to see him jn the morning ? We can
find you room and lodging."
The fair hostess had said this for the pur
pose of gaining time. She knew very well
that these men catne to rob the carrier, and
was equally sure that they would murder if
they could, and would, in all arobabiliiy, put
her out of the way as well. They bad evi
dently lecrned the valuable load he carried,
aud meant to carry it in his stead.
"Never mind his being asleep. Show us
where he is at once," roughly replied Gallus
in answer to Polly's last remark.
"But I can call him. good sirs," reasoned
the woman, calmly, 4hough there was alarm
in her soul.
"Call hitn ? Call ?" growled the villain
with a fierce oath. "You call him and you'll
be called to another world. Quick, show us
the way."
The mild eye that cotild aim an unerring
bullet at the forest beast did not even betray
the thoughts of that woman's soul, nor did a
look tell her meaning. She was pile, but she
did not tremble.
"This way, sirs," she whispered.
And as she spoke, she turned towards a
door of the little bed room and the pantry.
She did not open it until both men was close
behind her.
"Don't you hear him breathe ?" she whis
pered.
"Yey," returned both villains. And they
did hear a breathing, but it was of the chiid
close at hand.
As they thus answered her she threw the
door wide open—it opened inwa'd. The men
saw a dark void, but they passed forward.
In an instant Polly Burnap leaped back.—
Galluss was upon the threshold an 1 his coin
panion close up on his heels. With all her
power,the noble woman threw herself against
the rear man, and the next moment both the
robbers lay sprauling on the cellar botttm.
This had been the door opening to the
deep excavation and the only means of egress
was by a perpendicular ladder. Could this
have been moved, Polly would have pulled it
immediately up.but it was spiked to its place
and she must let it remain. To close the
door would be useless for she had no ready
means to fasten it. So she did what she had
resolved upon (ruin the first ; she sprang to
the fiivplac?, and caught the trusty rifle from
its picxel, and having cocked it, she turned
towards the open,door. She heard the curses
of the villains as they reached for the ladder,
and she soou knew that one of them had
found it.
"Back !" she cried, as she saw a head ap
pear above the threshoid. The candle upnn
the table threw but a dim light upon'the spot
but it was sufficient.
She saw the robber raise a pistol. She
not die. She had a husband—a child—and
had set herself to save the carrier. With
these thoughts flashing through her mind she
jiulled the trigger. A sharp report went
ringing through the house, and its echo was
a deep groan from the cellar bottom.
Ere ahe second robber could show himself,
Morton came rushing into the room with a ie
volver in each hand.
"What is it ?" he cried.
"There! There!" ga-ped Polly, pointing
to the doorway, where a savage looking face
had just prevented itself.
Lant Morton had been long enough used to
danger not to waste time in conjecture.
"Are there any more ?" he asked cocking
the second pistol.
"No, I shot one !" And as Polly Burnap
tncs spoke she sank into a chair.
*******
"And so you meant to save tne 7" £cmak
( ed the carrier, as Polly hesitated.
"Yes. yes, —I did. Yet, that was it."
• And as som as the noble woman was suffi-
I cicntly recovered, she told him the whole
story.
Morton expressed his thanks as best he
could ; but, aftt r all, the moisture of his
sharp gray eye, the changing of his counte
nance, aud the very lack of language, told
more than words could have done.
After duo deliberation, it was decided
that the bodies should remain where hey
were till morning. So the cellar door was
shut, the front door bolted, and then they
prepared once more to retire ; but for the
rest of the night Morton made his bed upon
the floor of the large room.
In the morning, just as the carrier was
dressed, there came a loud rap upon the
outer door, accompanied by a voice which
he knew full well. Ila hastened to open the
door, and gave entrance to Jacob Burnap 1
The hunter had met a party of traders at
Lewisburg, and disposnd of all bis skins to
thorn, ihus finishing his journey six days
sooner than he had anticipated.
Polly was soon upon her husband's bosom,
and wheD he had told his own story, Morton
gave him an account of the last night's ad
venture. Jacob was at first incredulous,
but when he had been down and seen the
bodies, he was satisfied.
"Polly mv jewel," he said, placing one
arm around fcer neca, "I am proud of
I love you more and more, for every day I
find mora to love." And then turning to
Morton, he added:
"What do you think of such a wife?"
"Ah," returned the guest, with deep feel
ing, "if poor Lant Morton had such a one be
wouldn't be a mail carrier."
When Morton left, he was directed to
stop at the first settlement, and state to the
| officers what had happened, and he promised
to do ao. He once mora blessed the brave
woman who bad saved bis life, and then set
out. Late in the afternoon, two officers ar
rived at the cabin,and when they were shown
the dead bodies, at once proceeded to remove
them. And, ere the week had passed, whole
.-ettiements blessed the ' Border Heroine for
the work she had done.

STEPHEN GIUARD.
Within the memory of many persons still
a'tve, "old Gtraid," as the (anions banker
was usually styled, a short, stout, brisk <>ld
gentleman, used to walk in his swiit, awk
ward wa\, the streets of the lower paitof
Philad-Iphia. Though everything about him
indicated that he had very little in Common
with his fellow citizens, he was the marked
man of the city for more than a generation
His aspect was rather insignificant and quite
unprepossessing. His dress was old fash
ioned and shabby ; and he wore the pig tail,
the white neck-cloth, the wide brimmed hat,
and the large skirled coat of the lust century,
lie was blind in one eye ; and though his
burly eye brows gave s< me character to his
countenance, it was curiously devoid ol ex
pression. lie had also the absent look of a
man who either had no thoughts or was ab
sorbed in though' ; and ne snuiiied along on
his enormous feet, looking neither to the
right nor to the left. There was always a
certain look of the old mariner abrut him,
though he had been fifty years an inhabitant
of the town. When he rode it was in the
plainest,least comfortable gig in Philadelphia,
drawn by an ancient and ill formed horse,
driven always by the master's own hand at
a good pace. He chose still to live where he
had lived for fifty years, in Water sreet,
close to the wharves, in a small and incon
venient house, darkentd by tall store-houses,
amid tho bustle, the noise, and the od rs of
commerce.
IBs 6ole pleasure was to visit once a clay a
little farm which he possessed a few miles
out of town, where he was wont to take rff
his coat, roll up his shirt-sleeves, and per
sonally labor in the field and in the barn,
hoeing corn, pruning trees, tossing' hay, and
not dii-daintng to assist even in butchering '
the animals which lie raise. j for market. It
was no mere ornamental or experimental
(arm. lie made it pay. All of its produce '
was carefully, nay, scrupulously husbanded, ;
sold, recorded and accounted for. lie !oved
his grapes, his plums, his pig?, and especially j
his rare breed of canary- birds; but the pco
pie'of Philadelphia had the full .benefited j
their increase—at the highest market
Many feared, many served, but none loved |
this singular and lonely old man. If there 1
, was among the very few who habitually con- !
versed with him, one who understand and
esteemed him, there was but one ; and he
was a man of such abounding charity, that,
like Uncle Toby, if fie had heard that the
devil was hopelessly damned, would h"ve
said, "I atn sorry for it." Never was there j
a person more destitute than Girard of the !
qualities which win the affection of others, j
His temper was violent, his presence forbid
ding, his usual manner ungracious, Ins w.II
inflexible, his heart unterder, his imagination
dead. He was odious to many of his fellow
citizens, who considered him the hardst and
meanest of men. He had lived among them '
for half a century but ho was 110 more a j
Philadelphtan in 1830 than in 1770. He •
still spoke with a French accent, and accom
panied hiß words with a French shrug and
French gesticulation. Surrounded with
Christian churches which he had helped t-> I
huild, he remained a sturdy unbeliever, and i
possessed the complete works of only one I
man, Voltaire.
He made it a point of duly to labor on
Sunday, as a good exunple to others. He
made no secret of the tact that fie considered
the idleness of Sunday an injury to the peo
ple, moral and economical. He would have j
opened his bank on Sunday, if any one wo'd '
have come to it. F.>r bis part he required !
no rest and would have none. He never
travelled. He never attended public asem- :
blies or amusements. He had no affections
to gratify, no friends to visit, no cuiiosity to
appease, no tastrs to indulge. What he
once said of himself appeared to be true, that
he rose in the morning with but a single ob
ject, and thai was to labor so hard all day as
to be able to sleep all night. The world
was absolutely nothing to him but a working
place. He scorned and scouted the idea
that old men should cease to labor, and
should spend the evening of their days in
tranquility. "No," he would say, "labor is
the price of !tfe, its happiness, its everything ;
to rest ia to rust; every man should labor to j
the last hour ol his ability?" Such was
Stephen Girard, the richest man who ever
lived in Pennsylvania.
This is an unpleasant picture of a citizen
of polite and amiable Philadelphia. It were
indeed a grim and dreary world, wherein
should prevail the principles of Girard. But j
see what this man has done for the city that
loved him not ! Vast and imposing struc
