WOMAN’S IJiIKOa.SiU.
BY F. A. COIIEY,
I was only a lad of about eight, when the
incident which I atn about to relate happen,
cd, yol it produced so strong an impression
upon niy mind at the time, that I still re
member every tiling perfectly, even to the
most minute detail.
My father had removed to tho West a
few months before, where he had construc
ted quite a comfortable log house, and had
cleared considerable land. There wero only
three of us —father, sister Jennie, and my
self. Jennio was the house keeper, but ij
side her work she found time ti teach me to
read and write a little, generally spending
an hour with me every day. She was a
dear, faithful girl, was Jennie, and I used to
think if ever I grow up to be a man I would
marry just such a woman as she was !
There were some Indians remaining in
the neighborhood, but as they never moles
ted us, wc ceased to think of them with fear
at least, and father used often to go away,
sometimes to be gone all night, loaving I and
Jonnic alone. At such times we used to
fasten up the house as soon as it began to
grow dark, and keep the riflo in the corner,
where wc might seize it at the first alarm.
One morning father wont away upon some
business, expecting to bo gone longer than
usual. The day passed quietly and pleasaut
ly enough, hut Jennie and I had only just
drawn hack from our six o’clock tea, when
the door softly opened, and an Indian en
tered.
lie was a tall, muscular fellow, and look
ed as if ho might possess the strength of a
giant iu his stalwart frame, lie wore a
huutiog shirt of some dark stuff, belted at
the waist, and the borders fancifully em
broidered with white beads, deer-skin 1 g
ging, flaming in all the colors of the rain
bow, and a pair of wrought moccasine. At
first lie stood quite still, and surveyed us in
silence.
Jennie had arisen. Her face was quite
pale, hut otherwise she did not show tlie least
sign of fear. She only stepped forward
and asked.
“ W hat do you wish ? Can Ido any
thing for you ?”
“Me want, fire-water,” rcturncdt.be sav
age, looking at her steadily with his groat
evil eyes.
“I have no fire water to give you,” said
Jennie, 1 hut you can have a draught of milk
if you like.”
She placed some upon tho table and a
fresh pluto, and bride him help himself
This he did quite freely, making a hearty
supper of it,, hut still keeping his eyes upon
us while 4o ate. When he had finished his
repast, he came and stood by the window.
“Ate stay here to night V ho said; “sleep
by the lire.”
“No,” returned Jennie firmly, “yon can
notrfimain.”
“Me stay, repeated tho savage, this time
a little angrily. “WLito squaw all alone—
can’t help herself.”
“I am not quite so defenceless as you
think,” said my sister in an unfaltuiug man
ner. “You have catea and drauk,aud now
you must go.”
The Indian’s brow darkened, and ho
raised bis hand as if he would strike her, but,
let it fall without a word and rushed out
of the bowse. Jcunio comprehended his ob
ject in a moment. lie had left his rifle
without and had gone to bring it. With a
quick movement she closed the door and
fattened it.
The savage came hack raging and furious
at finding himself outwitted. Ho tugged
and pushed at the door, filling every pause
with horrid oaths and threats, but it was
true to its tru t, and did not, give au inch.
All was quiet at last. Jennie took mo
in her arms and crept closely to the wall,
on the same side of the room with tho wiu
dow, so that the Indian could not fire at us
from that. I could feel her heart beating
very fast, but.-be whispered quietly :
“Don’t bo frightened Frank. A'l will
come out right at last. He will go soon.”
13y this time it had grown quite eirrk.
liaising our heads a little, we could sec the
stars come out one by one. Wc dared not
light a oandle, so wo sat very still in the
gloom. Afterfa long time Jennio git up.
“I am going to look for the Indian,” she
said. “Do not stir until I come back.”
She crept away thfough the darkness.—
After she had gone all was still for a few
moments, end then I heard a Might noise,
close at hand. 1 looked up and saw a dark
form at the window. I knew it was fasten
ed, and so thought very little about it. Ily
and by, however, tin re was a cracking of
springs, and the window went slowly up.—
I hardly knew what to do. Jennie might
or might not be where :*he could see all that
was g'dng on. I knew not where to seek her,
and dared not cal!, so t lay still anu tremb
ling, and watched every motion.
The Indian put his head through tho
opening first, and then slowly drew his body
astir it. There was a rustling at the other
end of the room, and the moment his foot
touched the fl >or Jennio s’ruck a light.—
She had been in another apartment when ho
attempted to enter, and had returned too late
to prevent it.
“Why, arc you hero again ?” she asked
with assumed anger as the light flared up
and dispersed the gloom.
The savage looked at her a moment in sur
prise. Evidently her coolness and calmness
per] 1 xed hint.
“Ale want fire-water,” said lie, after a
pause.
“I have already told you we have
none.”
“White squaw lies ! What this, then ?”
and he sciz and a bottle which stood upon a
shelf, and raised it to his lips.
The bottle was full of oil. Jennie lifted
her hand to stop him, hut it was to late
lie had already received a goodly portion in
his mouth and was spitting aud coughing at
a great rate.
In spite of her situati n. Jennie could
not help hut smile at his rediculous mis
take.
“White squaw laugh another way soon,”
muttered the Indian, angrily. “I’calswcop
take scalp—hers aud ouother one !” and he
pointed to me.
Jenuic was ulcrrd iustantly.
“I>o with me a you wish," .L< uni earn
estly, “but, oh, do not harm my brother.—
He ucver has done you injury, and I ata *uro
you cannot bo so cruel!”
It was an unwise speech, for it betrayed
her weakest point. It told tlie savage how
lie could best work upon Iter feelings, aud
ho was slow to take advantage of tlie discov
ery. lie immediately drew his knife and
approaehed mo.
“ Teko your soalp first,” he said seizing a
turf of my hair.
Jennie strung forward with a erv of an
guish, and placed both arms tightly about
my neck. Sho almost choked me with her
firm, convulsive hold.
“O i, you must not slay him !” she ex
claimed in agony. “I can die, if must he,
without a muriner, hut I beseech you to
have mercy on him and to consider his ten
der years.” .
If It tho hot tears dropping fast upon my
forehead. Somehow she seemed to give tue
fresh courage and resolution. I grew stron
ger at the sight of her dispair.
“Do not, weep, dear J mnic,” I said- “I
will die like a man ! Ts you ever seo my
father again, give my love to him and tell
him how l died !”
She uttered a long, grasping sigh. Then
as if a sudden thought had come to her, *sho
sprang to t.ho nearest corner, seized, the
loaded riflo which always stood there, nnd
raised it just in time to stay the shining
blade, which, in another moment, would
have been down upon my defenceless head,
“Put up your knife,” she said, in a low,
calm, deternnd tono. “Let it comeonciaoh
nearer that poor boy, and you shall never
live to strike the second blow !”
Tho Indian turned .away, cowed and abash
ed. Something in her eye told him she was
not to be trifled with. Nevertheless, thdtigh
foiled in his purpose, ho could not help hut
gaze at her admiringly.
“White squaw is brave,” ho said shortly.
“She does not shrink and hide from danger
like tho timid deer. Sho is to brave and
beautiful for the coward pale faces, Only
a warri r would be fit mate for her! Peal
sweep’s lodge is lonely nnd cold ! If ho
spare her scalp will sho go with him and be
his squaw ?”
The Indian’s face was emotionless, but his
voice was eager and earnest, lie drew
slowly nearer, and at last paused.
The trap-door which leu into tho cellar
wns up, and directly behind him. The lad
der which wc always used in descending had
been taken away for some porposo or other.
All Jennie saw at a glance, and in a
moment, her resolution was made. She
drew quietly nearer, and then gathering all
her strength for the effort, gave him a sud
den push ! Taken thus unawares h could
not save himself. lie staggered, lost his
balance, and fell back with a lew cry into
tho yawning pit behind him !
In a moment the trap door was down and
securely fastened. Then Jennio sank into
a chair beside me, weak and trembling now
that it was all over, and wc mingled our tears
of joy, for we weil know tho Indian could
not escape unassisted from tho quarters
whictl, had so unexpectedly fallen to his
lot.
Two hours later my father returned, arid
with him was lliehard Lee, Jennie’s belroih
ed lover. \\ r e felt perfectly at case then.—
1 shall never forgot how tightly I'uhor drew
me to his heart whet) ho had learned all, nor
how proudly Richard loot' and at his piom
iscd bride while listening to tho recital of
her noble heroism.
Popular Fallac ies.
That, warm air must he impure, and that
cons, quontly it is hurtful to sleep in a com
paratively warm room. A warm room is as
easily ventilated as a cool one The warm

aud sit still, and feel uncomfortably cold for
an hour. The worst that can happen from a
crowded conveyance is a fuintiug spcH;
while, sitting even loss than an hour in a
still, chilly atmosphere, has induced attacks
of pneumonia, that is, infl immstioc of tho
lung", which often prove fatal in three or
fur days. It is always positively injurious
to sleep in a close room where water freezes,
because such a degree of cold causes the
negatively poisonous carbonic and gas of a
sleeping room to settle near the floor, where
it is breathed and rebreathed hy the sleeper,

it is neo ssary to the proper and efficient ven
tillation of a room, even in warm weather,
tl*pt a window should be lift open ; this is al

Quite as safe a plan of vent illation, and as
efficient, is to keep a lamp, or a small fire,
burning in the fire-place. This creates a
draft, and carries bad airs and gases up the
chimney. That out-door exercise, before
breakfast, >9 healthful. It is never s". —
And, from the very nature of things, is
hurtful, especially to persons of poor health,
although the very vigorous m.-y practice it
with impunity. In winter, the body is casi

and induce fever and ague, diarrhoea and

Air. F , a gentleman of voracity, be
ing tired of tho town, resolved to take a ro
spitofrom bis lawbooks, mid indulge in a
few weeks of hunting in tho West. A
grooable to this resolution, ho bado fare
well to city life for a season.
Alanv and various wero tho adventures
with which ho met; but being brave, cool,
and a good marksman, lie always came oil
triumphantly; always, did I say? well,
with blit one exception, which was as'sin
gular as it was true.
One day, not being ns fottunnto ns usual
in finding game, Mr. F .with his dog
“Pnnto”—his sole companion—wandered
much farther into the forest than he had
yet gone, and, to add to his perplexities,
he perceived that he had lost his way;
nothing daunted, he trudged on, feeling
some inconvenience from hunger,as ho had
not eaten anything since his mid-day lunch.
As he walked on, however, ho became
conscious of an unaccountable depression
of spirits, the atmosphere grew close nnd
murky, and ho was unusually fatigued.
Suddenly, I’onto came to a point. In
stantly hia master’s pun was ready for aim,
when, on looking in tho direction of the
“point,” instead of bird or beast, he beheld
tlie tall and majestic figure of a woman,
clad entirely in white, and one hand ex
tended toward Air. F , as if nil invita
tion for him to take her hand. Astonished
nnd bewildered, he called “Who’s there ?”
Sho did not answer, but remained in the
same attitude, her eyes riveted upon him.
Spite of his efforts, ho became' alarmed ;
rapid thoughts flitted through his brain;
n emory portrayed various instances lie
had heard of warnings and spiritual visita
tions ; ho was spell-bound, and ir'csistihly
drawn toward her. Shaking oft’ his fear,
ho loadod his rifle, and, taking aim, said,
l lf you are human, speak, or I fire !” At
that moment a lurid flame shot from the
earth, illuminating nil around, and he
heard the clanking of chains, the murmur
ing of voices, nod saw black lumps fight
ing. Amazed, ho lowe> id his gun, and in
stantly the flame and lumps vanished, leav
ing him with the strange immovable figure
standing as before. “Am I ill? Is this tho
coinage of a fevered brain 1 If Death
claims me, at least meet him as a man
should ! Spirit or devil, what would you ? n
he asked. Receiving no answer, lie again
loaded his gun, and aimed at tho appari
tion. As before, tho earth opened and
omitted a lurid flame—again the wi angling
and angry voices and clanking of chains.
“It is the inoutli of hell 1” lie axel aimed,
dropping his weapon. Again tho flame
and imps disappeared, leaving him alone
with the unrelenting spirit. Trembling
with terror, h 3 picked up his gun, and,
notwithstanding the three previous charges,
reloaded it, and, summoning his remaining
strength, took steady aim at the stern fi
gure in his pathway. Once more tho
ilamo burst forth, once more tho horrid
n. i o aud black fiends wrangling with each
other. Mr. F , however, had deter
mined to discharge his gun, nnd did not
change his position, The flame increased,
and, brightening all around, revealed to
his astonished gaze tho inside of a largo
bbcksinith shop, and tho ghost who came
to take him to the infernal regh.iis was an
old tree which had been blighted with
lightning.
It was very fortunate for Mr. F that
in his excitement, he did not fire off his
gun, as the explosion of the four charges
would have endangercl his 1 so, if tho ap
parition did not.'
Here is :t story by one Morgan, a sea
captain, concerning a husband at sen,
which may afford a comfortable hint to
yoiiny ladies:
Single Indies cross tho water under tho
special- care of the captain of tho ship, and
if a love affair occurs among the passen
ger, the captain is usually a confidante of
one or botii parties. Avery fascinating
young lady had been placed under Mor
gan’s cur , and three young gentlemen fell
desperate'y in love with her, They wero
nil equally agreeable, and the young lady
was puzzled which to encourage. She
asked the captain's advice. “Coino on
deck,” lie said, “the first day it is perfectly
calm. Tho gentlemen will, of course he
near you. 1 shall have a boat lowered
down, and do you jump overboard, and see
which of the gentleman will jump a’ter you.
I will take care of you."
A Calm day soon come, the capta'n’s
suggestions were followed, and two of the
lovorti jumped alter the lady at an instant.
But between these two the lady could not
decidet so exactly had been their dev tion.
Sho again consulted the contain. “Take
the ninn that didn’t jump ; he is the most
sensible f flow and will make you the best
husband,”

It so happened that the good citizen* of a

Love is a very uncertain thing, nnd it is
not very safe to bo too certain of the sym
toms until they are unrniatable.
\ ianna has boon stirred up lately by tho
comical result of a ntrango love story. It
sooms that in the liousoof one Kerr Kuhne,
a teacher of languages, Dr. Kant, a young
physician, happened to make tho acquain
tance of a young lady, burdened with some
property and thirty years of ago. The
lady being unmarried, evinced some inter
est in the young hilt ralhor abashed doc
tor. Sho made lovo to him, in fact, very
strongly, and pursuaded him to visit her at
her house. Hut alas! he loved another
lady. One evening, while conversing with
him. she said :
“With yoilr favorable idea of matrimony,
may l ask if you ever thought of inarry
ing, yourself?”
l)r. Kant sighed, and his eyes resting on
tho ground, hesitatingly muttered io re
ply :
“I have already thought of marrying,
and made my choice, but ”
“Hut ?” the lady hastily inteiposed.
“Hut,” he continued, ‘ tho lady is rich,
very rich, and lam poor. lam afraid I
could hardly aspiro to her hand; and rath
er than allow myself to bo taxed with sor
did designs, I will bury my passion in iny
breast, and leave it unavowed forever.”
At an early hour the following day,
however, sho betook herself to a solicitor,
and in legal form declared her wish to pre'
sent and hand over as his property the
sum of 150,000 guilders (£15,000) to Dr.
Kant. When the document had been
signed, countersigned, and duly completed,
she sat down in tho office, and, inclosing it
in an elegant envelope,added the following
note:
“Dkah Sir : I have much pleasure in
inclosing a paper which I hope will re
move tho obstacle in the way of your mar
riage. Believe me, &c,
“Altcb Martini,”
Dr. Kant—for he, and no other, was the
individual addressed—was tho happiest
man in tlie world on receiving this gener
ous epistle. Repairing at one to tho pa
rents of Fraulien Fisehcl, the lady of his
love, ho proposed for and received the
hand of a girl who had long hern flattered
by his delicate thought nnd unmoved at
tentions. His reply to Alice Martini, be
sides conveying his sincerest thanks, con
tained two cartes do visile , linked together
by tho significant rose-colored ribbon
Alias Martini forthwith sued the happy
bridegroom for restitution; but as no pro
mise of marriage had been made, the case
was, by two successive courts, decided
against her.
How a Man Freezes to Death — M.
Douche lately read an interesting paper on
this subject before tho French Academy of
Science; the author’s inferences are as fol
lows :
1 That the first phenomenon produced
by cold is a contractiou of tlio capillary ves
sels to such an extent that a globule of
hi sod cannot enter; thcso vessels, therefore,
remain completely emty.
2. Th'» second phenomenon is an altera
tion of the blood globules which amounts to
their complete and sorganization.
3. Every animal completely frozen is
absolutely dead, and no power can reani
mate it.
4. When only a part is frozon, that part
is destroyed by gangrene.
5. If tho part froz m is not extensive, and
only a few disorganized bbod globules pa*r
into circulation, tho animal may recov
er.
G. Hut if, on tho contrary, the frozen part
is of considerable extent then the mass of
altered globules brought into the circulation
when the part is thawed, rapidly kills the
animal.
7. F..r this reason a half frozen animal
may live a long time if maintained in that
condition, since tho altered globules do not
set into the circulation ; hut it expires rap
idly as soon as tho frozen part is thawed.
8. 111 all cases of congelation, death is duo
to the alteration of tho blood globules and
not to any cff-ct uu the nervous sy. tcm.
9. It rosu’ts from these facts that the 1 gt
rapidly a frozen part is thawed, the more
si >wly the altered globules find their way
into tho circulation, an<J the greater the
chances of the recovery of the animal.
Little Things. —Springs arc little thing",
but they arc sources of large streams ; a
helm is a little thing, but it governs tho
course of tho ship ; a bridal bit is a li*tlo
thing, hut see its u-c and powers ; nails and
pegs arc little things, but they hold the
parts of large buildings together ; .1 word, a
look, a smile, a frown, and all little things,
but powerful for good or evil. Think of
this, and mind the little things. Pay that
little debt; it is a promise, redeem it—it is
a shilling, hand it over ; you know not what
important events hang upon it. Keep your
w n rd sacrcdly--.kecp it to children ; and tho
effects will probably ho as lasting as life. —

Successful Editors. —An English tvrit
’ cr sa; s:
“A good editor, a competent newspaper
conductor, is like a general or n poet, born
not made. Esorcise and <X| erience give
facility, hut the qualification is innate, or it
is never manifested. On the London dai
ly papers, all tho great historians, novelists
poets, essayists, and the wri ern of travels,
have been tried, and nearly every ono has
failed. ‘I can,’ said the late editor of tho
London Times,‘find any number of men of
genius to write for mo, lut very seldom
ono man of common sense.’ Nearly ail
successful editmsare of this discretion. —
A good e itor seldom writes mi ch for hiv
paper—he reads, judges, selects, dictates,
alters and combines, and to do all this well
ho bus but little time for eomj osition To
write for a paper is one thing—-to edit a
paper another.”
