A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
Where are the birds that sang
A hundred years ago 7
The flowers that in all beauty sprang
A hundred years ago 7
The lips that Smiled,
The eyes that wild
In flashes shone,
Soft eyes upon ;
Where, O where are lips and eyes,
The maiden s smile, the lovt-r’s sioh*,
That were so long ago T
Wbo peopled all the city's street*
A hundred years ago 7
Who filled the church with face* meek
A hundred years ago 7
Tbe sneering tale
Of sist- rs fiail.
The plot that worked
Another’s hurt: „
Where, O where are plots and sneers,
Tbe poor tutui's hopes, the rich maa'sfears.
That were sy loag ago 7
Where are the graves where dead men slept
A hundred years ago 7
Who, while living, oft-times wept,
A hundred years ago 7
By other men
They knew not then,
Their lands are tilled,
Their houses filled ;
Yet nature then was just as gay.
And bright the sun shown at to-day,
A hundred years ago !j

such thoughts a thousand times.—Boston Traveller, j * on t laughing. " If Sublelte has DO tobtC-
co, all is light. We have plenty ; and not
an Indian will sell a skin until he has got a
pun at the pipe of peace. So up my men,”
he continued, addressing his clerks ; “ you
must away and out general Sublette, by
taking Johnson a good supply of tbe weed.”
“All very fine,” said Nick, wiih'a know
ing shake of tbe head, ’ but Sublette, him
know a trick worth two of that. A hundred
Blackfeel are out laying in the woods, and
not a soul will resell the market until they
are gone.”
“The Blackfeetl” cried McPherson;
‘‘then we are defeated surely. What is to
be done ?”
“How many bales will suffice 1” said
Ray, quietly.
‘‘If Johnson, our agent, had but one,”
replied the trader despondingly, “all would
be right. It is impossible, however, and
this year is lost to roe.”
“By no means,” said the clerk, rising
with all his uative energy and fire beaming
in his eye; “Johnson shall have the bale or
my scalp shall hang iu a Blackfoot lodge
before morning!”
“Edwaid !” exclaimed the daughter with
an alatmed glance, which opened the fa
ther’s eye to what had hitherto been a pro
found secret.
“Are you in earnest, Mr. Ray T” said
McPherson gravely and even sternly.
“1 am, sir ; give me wild Polly (a favor
ite mare,) and trust to me tor accomplish
ing your wishes.”
“You will go alone, then !”
“1 will.”
McPherson Ordered the mare he valued
so much to be saddled, and in half an hour
Edward Ray with two bales of tobucco be
hind him, and armed to tne teeth, sallied
forth from Spokau amid the plaudits of
the whole party, whose astonishment re
garded let-s the peril of the adventure than
the character of the man who undertook it.
Miss McPherson, conscious of the interest
she had betrayed in her faiher’s cletfc, has
tily retired to her chamber; while her fa-'
ther, alter carefully fastening the gates and
posting proper sentiuels, lit his pipe and
seated himself, absorbed iri reflection, by
the fire-place in the principal apartment.——
Great smokers aie your Indian l raders, who
in more things than one resemble tbe men
with whom they have to deal.
Meanwhile, Edward Ray, after leaving
the fort, rode slowly down the valley, re
flecting on tbe wisest course for him to pur
sue. Before him was a journey of seventy
miles, with a hundred wild Indians thirst
ing for a pale face victim ; the no less wel
come thought that he owned a horse, and
carried a rare prize in the shape of two
bales of tobacco. Ray felt that be had
rashly ventured on a wild and doubtful en
terprise ; and, under ordinary c.rcumstan-
ces, would have soon turned back ; but he
knew tbe opinion his fellows had of him,
and felt with pride thst no one had offered
to accompany him. Besides, in tbe pre
sence of her he loved, he had undertaken
this bold task, aud was determined that she
should not think him indifferent or timid.
A ride of half an hour brought him
out of the valley, aud upon the skirt of
a plain of some extent. Here Ray halted,
and gazing upon the prairie that lay at his
feet, endeavored to discover some sign of
the Blackfeet. The moon shone brightly
upon the waters and woods, and not a
sound disturbed the stiffness of an Ameri
can night in the wilderness. Ray felt the
THE MIDNIGHT RIDE.
BY PERCY D. ST. JOHN.
Some years ago, when the American Fur
Company and the Hudson Bay traders car
ried on a powerful opposition to each other
in the wild and rocky^tenitory of Oregon,
several little foils wete erected in the Inte
rior, whence the commerce in peltries was
made with the Indians. One of these, to
which our tale refers, was planted in a
green secluded valley, where pasture for.
caitle and comfort for roan were as much
as possible combined with security and

salfcty. A little stteam boidered wiih cot
ton wood and aspens afforded a constant
supply of water; while in the grand and
magnificent valley of the Bayou Salade, at
no great distance pastured, in inexhaustible
thousands, the buffalo and the elk; its
rivers abounding, moteover, with the'bea
ver, whose skins principally iuduced the
hunters to tempt the dangers of the Ameri
can wilderness. In this spot, known as
Spokan Fort, dwelt James McPherson, the
owner and governor of the wild locality.—
McPherson was a Scotchman, who in early
days had left his native country a poor lad,
and now, by the exercise of that perseve
rance characteristic of his countrymen, had
attained the position of a well-to-do mer
chant. Of an enterprising disposition, he
had penetrated into the Interior in search of
further wealth, and having for two years
settled himself at Spokan, had there driven
a thriving trade with the Indians, despite
the impediments thrown in his way by his
rivals. Nothing can equal the excitement
of this precarious commerce. It is the con
stant effort on the part of opposition com
panies to out general each other, to mutual
ly blind their opponents as to their destina
tion and plans, as well as to be ever in the
field first. These efforts give rise to almost
supethuman exertions, and tend to sharpen
the wits of all parties in a very sensible
manner. He who ohows the greatest know
ledge of Indian tastes, and of the haunts of
the beaver and buffalo, of ihe time to move
and of the rime to go into winter quarters,
is sure to make the most successful cam
paign. McPherson was shrewd and cute,
and these qualities serving him in good
stead, his affairs advanced in a very satis
factory manner.
It was about two years after the establish
ment of the fort, and when all were in act
ive bustle, that Edward Ray, a young Lou
isianian, obtained an appointment under the
owner, and travelling the whole distance
from New Orleans, had conveyed a carg
of merchandize for the use of company.—
In addition to this, he had taken up, to re
join her father, Miss McPherson and a fe
male attendant. So peculiar and so long a
journey had thrown tire young people much
together, and, without any reflection with
regard to difference of position, a mutual
affection had arisen between them. Under
these circumsiances the voyage up the Mis
sissippi and across the vast interior plains,
was of a most agreeable character. Both
lingered upon deck to admire the bluffs and
grassy plains, the vast interminable prairies,
and never wearied of their gaze. The
deseit even had charms; and when the
Rocky Mountains burst upon them in all
their sublimity, their pleasure was complete.
At length, however, they arrived at their
journey’s end Ray became a Clerk, and
Miss McPherson presided over the estab
lishment, as the daughter of the owner was
in duty oound to do. Whatever might have
been the lady’s feelings, the poor clerk
sought not to learn them. He fell the dif
ference of station, arid shrinking from %Dy
manifestation of his aspiring hopes, attended
to his business honestly and diligently, bur
without ever showing the slightest enthusi
asm for the avocation. Tinder theae circum
stances he was considered useful in bid way,
but failed to excite the notice which might
have led to his advancement. Reserved
and taciturn, even his mistress thought her
self deceived in him. With the exilement
of their happy journey, all his energies ap
peared to have departed. Tbe truth was,
thar Ray, who was not of a sanguine dispo
sition, saw no means of rising to a level
with his master-, and allowed despondency
to unnerve his spit it.
About three months after his arrival, the
lime approached when the annual interview
with the various Indians took place, a
meeting of much importance, as then tbe
whole fortunes of the year were decided.
It was usual to appoint a place for the na
tives to camp with their beaver and other
Bkins. About two days before the lime ap
pointed, the heads of the fort were seated
at their evening meal. Plenty and variety
made up for the delicacies and seasoning.
Buffalo, deer meat,trout, salmon, wild fowl,
all abounded on tbe hoard, round which
sat McPherson, his daughter, Ray, and
three other clerks. The whole party were
engaged in discussing tbe good things be
fore them, when a bustle was heard with
out, and after a pause of a moment, a half-
bred hunter appeared on the tirrehhold.
“ What news, Nick 1” said McPherson,
who recognized ru the intruder a scout sent
out to learu the proceedings of tbe rival
traders.
“ Bad,” said Nick advancing. “ Master
Sublette got ahead of Spokan. The Indians
all at camp already, with plenty beaver.—
influences of the hour and the place, and
forgetting all but the delight of travelling
by moonlight over that plain, removed thou
sands of miles from civilization, set spurs to
his mare and trotted svtifily along the path
leading in the direction of the Indian mart.
It was some time ere the young clerk paus
ed, and then a sudden hesitation on the
part of his mare brought him to a con
sciousness. Raising his eyes, he found
himself close upon a wood, between which
and a somewhat luoad river he uuw had to
pass. A single glance told him that Indi
ans were uear, as a light smoke arose from
amid the trees; whether they had yet dis
covered him was a matter of uncertainty.—
Ray therefore determined to make a bold
dash ; and trusting to his beast rode at •
hard gallop along the skirls of the forest.—
The moment he neared the trees, his band
upon his rifle, he listened with the most
anxious attention. Not a sound save the
clatter of his unshod mare, was heard until
he had cleared half the dangerous cover.—
Then came the sound of horses in pursuit,
and then the Blackfoot wai-wboop, with
the crack of rifles. His enemies were in
full chase. Now it was that the gallant
steed pul forth her energy, and now it was
that Ray’s spirits lose, and that he fell him
self a man, with all a man’s love of life.—
Looking back, he saw the wild Indian war
riors coining fast towards him, but still not
gaining ground; and he felt sure, did he
lose his precious merchandize and give it
up to the puisuers, that be could with ease
outstrip them. But he was resolved to
serve his master’s interest, aud be urged
his steed to ber utmost. An hour passed
in this manner. The howling, whooping
Indians, half a hundred in number, gallop
ed madly after him, their long spears wav
ing io the moonlight, and their black hair
streaming in tbe wind.
Before him lay a cane-brake, where the
reeds rose ten feet, dry, parched and crack
ling. Through this lay the path of the fu
gitive. Ray looked forward to the welcome
shelter, determined to make a stand ; and
there, at the very entrance stood, mounted
ou a tall horse, an opposing foe. Clutching
a pistol the clerk clinched his teeth, and
rode madly against his new opponent, who,
just in time to save himself cried, “ ail right
—Saucy Nick !** There was no time for
greeting, and away they scampered through
tbe cane-brake ; not before, however, the
half-breed had cast a brand amid the reeds.
They had not proceeded a hundred yards
ere a wall of fire arose between them and
their pursuers. Magnificent was the scene
which now greeted tbe admiring eyes of
Edward Ray as he baited on the other side
of the brake. The reeds, scorched by tbe
summer sun, were ss inflammable as straw,
and the flames spread with astonishing ra
pidity to the right and left. The poor birds
that were sheltered in the morass below,
alarmed, rose on the wing, and flying a few
hundred yards, halted to gaze at the fire,
which seemed to fascinate them ; and wild
animals too, clinging to their lairs until
the fires touched their very nostrils, would
then unwillingly rise, and leapine over it,
scour the black pfain of cinders in the rear
of the flame. As the two fugitives retreat
ed, tbe scene became more magnificent, for
