A Woman’s Story.
Wo had no riches; our daily labor
Was all the wealth we sould hope to win ;
Hut we built in our heart’s a royal p.ilaco
For love's own uugels to enter in.
Our lowly future wc fondly painted
With tender dreamings of household joy—
Hwoot thoughts that thrill in a woman’s bosom
And a true heart’s aervicj without alloy. ,
Three days of leisure we roam’d tog- ther,
One golden emmuir, by rock and wave,
But when the leave* fell with reddened rust’e,
The churchyard grass lay above his grave.
And I, who had thought to rest securely
On the bravo heart that wu all my own,
Hud to bury my grief, an 1 go forth unshielded,
To toil in the weary world alone,
llut 1 c never knew me worn and faded.
My brown hair silver'd, my eyes grown dim.
Lvt ho siw mo through love’s own splendor
And hu took that imago to ilcav -.1 with bun
So I fondly think when my task is end si,
And the long'd-fur rest s’veil my brow unfold,
lie will meet me first on tho hills of Eden,
A Dd I shall be fair, as in days of old !
AN INDIAN STORY.
Adams Poe’s Htfht With Two
Indians.
AN ADVENTURE OF Tin; I.AST CENTURY.
About tin* middle ol july, 1782, sevi'U
Wyandot ts crossed the Ohio a lew miles
above Whet ling, and committed great
dupradatioiis upon the Southern shore,
killing an old man whom they found
alone in his cabin, and spreading terror
throughout the neighborhood. Within
a few hours after their retreat, eight
men assembled from different parts of
the Biuull settlement, fil'd pursui'il the
enemy with great expedition. Among
the most active ami efficient of the party,
were two brothers, Adam and Andrew
1W They had not folio ved the trail
far, before they became satisfied that the
depradators were conducted bv Big Foot
a njnewned chief of the Wynndott tribe,
who derived his name from the immense
size of liis feet.
Adam l’oe was overjoyed at the idea
of measuring his strength with that of
so celebrated a chief, and urged th*> pur
suit with a keenne s tliet soon brought
lim in the vicinity of the enemy. For
the last few inil-s, the trail had led them
up the Southern bank of tits Ohio, where
the foot piit.ts m the sand were deep
and obvious, but when within a few
hundred yards of the point ut which the
whites as well as the Inians were in the
habit of crossing, it suddenly diverged
from the stream* and streohed along a
roeky ridge. Here Adam halted, for a
moment, and directed bis brother amt
the pther A'oung men to follow the trail
with preper caution, while ho himseil
adhered to the river path, which lot
through a cluster of willows directly to
the point where he supposed the enemy
t> lie. Having exam.nod the priming of
his gun, he crept cautiously througu the
bushes until he had a view of the point
of embai kation. Here lay two canoes,
showing that Indians were close at hand
lie relaxed nothing of his vigilance, and
gaining a jutting cliff, which hung im
mediately over the canoes, i e peered
cautiously over, and beheld the object
of bis search.
The gigantic 3ig Foot lay below bin
in the shale of a willow, and was talk
ing iu a low, deep tone lo another wat
rior, who seemed a mere p piny by bis
side. Adam cautiously drew back and
cocked his gnu. The mark was tan
the distance did opt exceed twenty leet,
and his aim was unerring, liaising his
rifle slowly and cautious!), lie took a
steady aim at Big Foot s In east, and
drew the trigger. His gun flashed.
Both Indians sprung to their feet with a
deep interjection of surprise. Adam
v.as too much hampered by the bushes
to retreat, and setting his life upon a
oast of the die, lie sprung over the hush
which had sheltered him, and summon
ing all his powers, leaped boldly down
■the precipice upon the breast of Big F 00l
with a shock that bore J'ini to ti e earth.
At the moment of contact. Ad en
ii’id thrown his tight arm around the
ujck ot the sma kr Indian, su '.hai all
three I'ttuiu to lit; until at onco. At
4h#t moment, a sliarp firug was hesud
among the bushes above, announiing
that the other parties were engaged, but
the trio below were too busy to attend
to auyihiug but themselves. Big Foot
was lor an instant stunned by the vio
lence of the shock, and Adam was ena
bled to keep them both down. But the
exertion nocoessary for that purpostnvas
so great- that he had no leisure to use his
knife. Big Foot quickly recoven and, and
without attempting to rise, wrapped his
long arms around Adam s body, and
pressed hitu to his breast with the crush
ing force ot a boa constrictor.
Adam instantly relaxed his hold of the
small Indian, who sprung to his feet.
Big Foot then ordered him to run lor
his tomahawk, wilin' lay within ten
steps, and kill the while man while he
held him in his arms.—Adam, seeing his
danger, struggled manfully to extricate
If nwell from the fold s ot the g'anf, bttf
in vain. The I cater Indian approached
with hi* uplifted tomahawk, bat Adam
watched him closely, and, as ho wuh
t ' ,
nlmut to strike, gave him a kick so sud
den and violent, as to knock the luma',
hawk out of h;s hand, and send him
staggering back into 'he water. Hut
the leaser Indian again approached, car
fully avoiding Adam's heels, and making
many motions with his tomahawk, in
order to deceive him as to the point where
the blow woo (1 tall.
Such was Adam's dexterity and vig
il-neo, however, that he maiiajed to
receive the tomahawk in a glancing d
recti m upon the. left wrist, wounding
him deeply, but not disabling h!tn. lie
now made a sudden and and sperato effort
to free himself from the arms of the gi
.ii.t, and succeeded. Instantly snatching
up a rifle, tor the Indian coil'd r.ot ven
turi' to shoot for I ear of hurting his corn
panion, he shot the lesser Indian through
the body —Hut scarcely bad lie done so
w hen Hig Foot arose, and placing one
hand upon his col ar, and <ho other up—
'on his hip, pitched him into the air
jas he him-elf would l.avo p tched a
i child.
Adam It'll upon his back at the edge
of the water, hut before his antagonist
could spring upon aim, he was again
upon Ins led, and stung with rage at the
idea of being handled so easily, he at
lacked his gigantic antagonist with fury 1
which for a time compensated for inferi-
ority of sirengrh. It was now a lair
fist light between them, lor in the hurry
ol the struggle rnitlni bid letsuie to
draw their knives. Adam’s superior
activity and experience as a pug
gave him great advantage. The Indian
struck awkwardly, and finding himself
rapidly dropping to leeward, he closed
with his antagonist, and again hurled
him to the ground. They quickly rolled
into the river, and the struggle contin
ued with unabated fury, each attempting
to drown the other. The Indian being
unused to such violent exertion, and
having been much injured by the first
shock in his stomach, was unable to
exc t the same powers which had given
him such a superiority at first; and Adam
seizing him by the scalp-lock, put b s
bead midci water, and held it there un
til the faint struggles of the Indian in
duced him to believe that be was drown
ed, when he r**iaxed his hold an attemp
ted to draw his knife. The Indian,
however, instantly regained his feet, and
mi bis i urn put bis adversary under
In tbo struggle, both were carried out
in the current beyond their depth, and
each was compelled to relax bis bold
and swiin for life. There was still one
one loaded lille upon the shore, and
each swam bard in order to reach it,
but tbo Indian proved the most expet t
swimmer, and Adam seeing that be
should be too late, turned and swain out
into the si renin, intending to dive, and
thus frustrate bis enemy’s intention.
At 11 ,is instant, Andrew, Having beard
that his brother was'alone in a struggle
with two Indians, and in great danger
an up hastily to the bank above, m or
iel* to assist Inin.—Another white man
iollnwcd him closely , and seeing Adam
n the liver, covered with blood, and
swimming rapidly from shore, mistook
bins for an Indian, fired upon him.
wounding him dungi rously in the
shoulder.
Adam turned, and seeing bis hi other,
called loudlv upon him ‘to shoot tbo big
Indian upon shore.' Andrew's gun,
however, was empty, having just been
discharged. Fortunately, Big Foot had
also sized the gun with which Adam
had shot the Ind.an, so that both were
upon equality. The conte l was now
who should load first. Big Fool poured
in his powder first, and drawing his
ramrod ont of its sheath in too great a
hurry threw it into the river, and while
lu* ran to recover it Andiew gained an
advant ge. Sill the Indian was but a
second too late, for bis gun was at his
shoulder when Andrew’s ball entered
Ins breast. The gun dropped from bis
hands mid he fed forward upon h s faee
upon iln* very margin of the river. An
drew. now alarmed tor his brot ier, who
was semeely able to swim, threw down
his gun and rushed inti the river and
brought him ashore. Adam Poe recov
ered of his wv nods, and lived many
years after his eontiiei; bat never for
ot the tremendous hug which he sus
tained in thu itr,ns of Big Foot.

A Witty Lecture.
The fo lowing extract from the report
of a committee on flogs, read before an
agricultural society ‘down Fast,'contains
some excel,cut hits :
‘Again : Some folks accuse pigs of
being filthy in their habits, and negligent
in their personal appearance. But
whether food is best eaten off the
ground, or from China plates, is, it seems
to me, merely a matter of taste and con
venience, about which pigs and men may
iiomstly differ.—They ought, then to
be judged charitably. At any rate, pigs
are not filthy enough to chew tobacco,
nor io poison their breath by drinking
whiskey. JAnd as to their personal ap
pearance, you don’t catch a pig playing
the dandy, nor the female among them
[licking their way up this muddy village,
aftei a rain, in kid slippers.
‘Notwithstanding their heterodox no
tions, hogs have some excellent traits of
character. If one chances lo wallow a
little deeper in some miie hole than his
fellows, so carries on and comes in pos
session of more of tins earth than his
brethren, he never assumes an extra im
portance on that, account; nor are they
stupid enough to worship him for it.
There only question seems to be, is he
still s hog? If he is treat him as such.
‘And when a hog has no rneiits of his
oa n, nor claims any particular resist
on account of his lamily conmctu ns;
and yet some hog* have descended full
well, the common sense maxim every
tub must stand on a bottom.’
