"—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1860. T H EBORD ERH EROINF. 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 H< rse-Head, a stout pioneer named Jacob Burnap. His wife Pol ly, and one child, nine years old, made up fcts family. His 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 skins. He left Polly in charge of the premi ses, a; d left with her, too, a light rifln and a brace of pistols. She knew how to use the rifle, for never was she happier than when her husband patted her up->n her shoulder and cried, " Nobly done, Polly, my dear ! I could not have made a better 6hof my self." And he had occasion to say this with truth too. Jacob Burnap had been gono 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 ail hardships. As he sprang from the saddle, Polly made her appearance. ''Ah, Polly—once more here," the new comer said, as he dtew a well filled pair of saddle bags from the back of bis beast. '"Yes, aud I am glad to see you, Morion— Jacob ha- been gene 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 Morton for one night at least; so f". r the neit twelve hours you'll feel safe." "Oil—l feel safe enough, returned the wo man quickly ; "only lonesome." Thus s;caking, Morlou threw his saddle and saddle-bags into ;he cabin, and then led his horse around to a low shed, where he made the anirnah fast and fed him. Alter this he returned to the dwelling and entered, and was soon discussing tho events of the times over an ample supper. His hostess told hiin all that had transpired in her noigh 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 Burnap'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 ia the bloom of woman hood—knew his generous, noble char acter, so she felt perfectly free and at home in his presence. "Is it known ou the rout that your load is so valuable ?" "I think not—though it 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 fled added Mor ton. carlessly. as he 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 had work to do, having neglected it while talking with her guest, so when she had seen him 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 strintrs all ex posed, had struck ten, ere Polly arose from her work. She had just pushed the basket beneath the table, and taken up tho 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 Wore, but the minute description her husband had given of the roan, 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 Galtuss, 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 |n 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 thai these men came to rob the carrier, and ' was equally sure that they would murder if they could, and would, in all arobability, put her out of the way as well. They had evi dently learned the valuable load he carried, and 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 cill him. good sirs," reasoned the woman, calmly, though there was alarm in her soul. "Call him ? 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 could 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 darn void, but they passed forward. In an instant Polly Burnap leaped back.— Galluss was upon the threshold and his com patiion close upon 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 botUm. This had been tbe 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 froin the first ; she sprang to the fitvplac-, arid caught the trusty nfle from its picxet, 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 thein had found it. "Back !" she cried, as she saw a head ap pear above the threshold. The candle upen the table threw hut a dim light upon*the spot but it was sufficient. She saw the robter raise a pistol. She co'd not die. Shq had a husband—a child—and had set herself to save the carrier. With these thoughts flashing through her mind she pulled the trigger. A sharp report went ringing through the house, and its echo was a deep groan from the cellar bott un. Ere ahe second robber could show himself, Morton caine rushing into the room with a re 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 presented 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 tnus spoke she sank into a chair. ****♦ "And so you meant to save me 7" ed the carrier, as Polly hesitated. "Yes. yes, —I did. Yet, that was it." • And as suiti as the noble woman was suffi ciently recovered, she told bim the whole story. Morton expressed his thanks as best he could ; but, after 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, lie hastened to open tl-e door, and gave entrance to Jacob Burnap The hunter had met a party of trades at Lewisburg, and disposnd of all bis skins to thorn, thus finishing his journey six days sooner than he had anticipated. Polly was soon upon her husband's bosom, and when 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 be had been down and 6een the bodies, he was satisfied. "Polly my jewel," he said, placing one arm around fcer neca, "I am proud of yv.u. I love you more and morq, for every day I find more to love." And then turuing 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 6tate to the officers what bad happened, and he promised to do so. He once more blessed tbe brave woman who had saved his life, and then set >ut. Late in the afternoon, two officers ar rived at thecabin,and when they were shown the dead bodies, at once proceeded to remove them. And, ere the week had passed, whole -ettlements blessed the Border Heroine for the work she had done. STEPHEN GIRARD. Within the memory of many persons still S'IVP, "old Girard," as the (anions banker was usually styled, a short, stout, brisk <>ld gentleman, used to walk in bis swift, awk ward wa\, the streets of the lower pait of Philadelphia. Though everything about Lira indicated that he had very little in common with his fellow citizens, he was the marked titan of the city for more tbar. a generation His aspect was rather insignificant and quite unprepossessing. His dress was old fash ioned and shabbv ; and he wore the pig tail, the white neck-cloth, the wide brimmed hat, and the large skirled coat of the last century. He was blind in one eye ; and though his burly eye brows gave s> me character to his countenance, it was curiously devoid of ex pression. He had also the absent look of a man who either had no thoughts or was ab sorbed in though' ; and nc snutiled along on | his enormous feet, looking neither to the right nor to the left. There was always a certain look of the old mariner abcut him, though he had been fifty years an inhabitant of the town. When he rode it was in the pla\nest,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. lie chose still 10 live where he had lived for tifiy years, in Water sroet, close to the wharves, in a small and incon venient house, darkemd by tall store-houses, amid tho bustle, the noise, and the odors of commerce. His sole pleasure was to vtsit once a day a little farm which he possessed a few miles ' out of town, where he was wont to take off 1 his coat, roll up his shirt-sleeves, and per- j sonally labor in the field and in the barn, ' hoeing corn, pruning trees, tossing' hay, and not didainmg to assist even in butchering the animals which he raiseu for market. It was no mere ornamental or experimental (arm. He made it pay. Ail of its produce was carefully, nay, scrupulously husbanded, ' sold, recorded and accounted fur. He loved his grapes, his plums, his pigs, and especially hisraic breed of canarj- birds; hut the peo pie of Philadelphia had tho full . benefit -of. j iheir increase —at the highes. market Many feared, many setved, but none loved ' this ..incular and lonely old man. If there ' was among the very few who habitually con- I versed with bun, one who understand and j esteemed him, there was but one ; and he ! ' ' was a man of such abounding charity, that. I like Uncle Toby, if he had heard that the ' devil was hopelessly damned, would hv ve ' said, "I am sorry for it." Never was there ) a person more destitute than Girard of the ! qualities which win the affection of others, j His temper was violent, his presence forbid ding, bis usual manner ungracious, bis will inflexible, his heart unterder, his imagination ! dead. He was odious to many of his fellow citizens, who con-idered him the hardest and | meanest of men. He had lived among them for half a century, but he was no more a I Philadelphian in 1830 than in 1776. He ' still spoke with a French accent, and accotn panied his words with a French shrug and ! French gesticulation. Surrounded with ' Christian churches which he had helped t" ; build, he remained a sturdy unbeliever, and possessed the complete works of only one 1 man, Voltaire. He made it a point of duty to labor on Sunday, as a good example to others. He made no secret of the fact that he considered . (he idleness of Sunday an injury to the peo- ! pie, moral and economical. He would "have opened his bank on Sunday, if any one wo'd have come to it. For bis part he required no rest and would have none. He never (ravelled. He never attended public assem blies or amusements. lie had no affections to gratify, r.o 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 that 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 life, its happiness, its everything ; to rest is to rust ; every man should labor to the last hour ot his ability?" Such was I Stephen Girard, the richest man who ever lived in Penn c ylvania. This is an unpleasant picture of a citizen of polite and amiable Philadelphia. It were I indeed a grim and dreary world, wherein should preva'l the principles of Girard. But see what this man has done for the city that loved him not ! Vast and imposing struc tures ri-e on the banks of the Schaylki|!> wherein, at this hour, six hundred poor oc phan bys are fed, clothed, trained and j taught, upon the income of the enormous | estate which he won by this entire conse i cration to the work of accumulating pro pert ty.

And if he should inquire | closely into the character and career of tbo man who willed this groat institution into 1 being, he would, perhaps, be willing to adthit | that there was room in the world for one Girard. though it were a pity there should 1 ever he another. Such an inquiry, would, perhaps, disclose , 'hat Stephen Girard was endowed by nature wah a heart as well as a powerful mind, and that circumstances alone closed ami hardened the one, cramped and pervert ed the other. It is not improbable that he was ine of those unfortunate beings who desire to be loved, but whose temper and appearance combine to repel it. The marble statue of him, which adorns the entrance to the principal building, if it could speaff, might say so to us, ' Living, you could not understand nor love me ; dead, I compel, at least, your respect." Indeed, be used to ay. whf-n questioned as to his career, "Wait till am dead : my deeds will show what I' was."— Not th American Review.
