"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—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

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

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

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
