MKSUR/g, It was a golden harvest day in Sep tember, ami the men eftbe little settle mi nt of Warreo, located iu the depth of lbo grand old Kentucky forist, were at work in ti e r respective eleariugH, reaping the lipe, rich, grain, when a large «ar-paity of the Shawan ees made an att-ck on 'he flare, and in less than a half hour from the time, when their blood was ohilUed by the first hideous war-whoop, every one of the little community were butchered in cold bb o', or else were prisoners with a worse fate in a'ore, with the excep tion of a youth of nineteen, Philip .Mor gan by name, who had hidden iu the tall wheat, and escaped the lerreh that bar] been instituted by the savageß for anv that might h-.ve been hidden away. lie was secret! and so near to the cab ins, that he hoard every shriek made by tho women and cLdldien as th-y wore butchered by the red fiords, and mote than < hoe the youth Was on the point of rushing out aud siiar ng the fate of bis kindred and friends, but the 1 ve of life, which is sa deep in every human bring, and the fact that he was entireiy unarmed, held him back, and with his hand? over his ears to shut .ut the horid founds, he lay, rxpeciiog every anim at be would ho discovered, and suljoeted to the fate of his tiiends. JSvery moment seemet] an age to the young man, as he lay there with the tali wh-at rustling in the gentle breeze above him ; but at, last every shriek and groan had and e l away, but he knew the Indians had not left, lor he could hear them prowling about in sra/eh of any of ibeir victims, who might have been so fortunate as to escape the gen - eral ata-saebe. At last they seemed to have come to the conclusion that none had escaped death at their hands. *J?or severtl minutes, Philip could not hear anything fr m the savages, and began lo congratulate hitufself that they had left, and was in comparative safety, when the loud crackling if dames announced fljit tho cottage was o i fir 1 . There had been no rain for tevcral week", and the timbers that cou p'sed the cabin were very dry, making it iu the very best possible condition for the flimea to prey upon. The roof was soon in a sheet of flame, and it was net mors than five rods from where ho was concealed, he already felt the heat of the burning cottage. If the wheat, which was well ripened did not ignite, be bad no need to movcj but if if did, he would have to run for his life, from the kuivie of the savages Vet he thought, he would moove a little further off, trusting that if the Indians observed a wiving motion emong the wheat, they tv mid attribute it ts the wind, which was blowing gently. Just as he was on the point of nov iup, he discovered that the wind had died away, save that caused by the Himes, which were fitful, aud which c was afraid, would not covi r bis motions —bo he renounced his intentions, aud remained quietly where he was. But it was not fated that hi should h uridis'uibed. Tbe ludjins hid only begun their work of if vastalion by fire. The party had and vidsd, si yera! being al lotted to the l urtiing of e ich cabin, and when they hud got them enveloped in Games they turned their attention to tfie fields of pipe wheat, which during the long sutnniT had been the pride and hope of the settlers and theit fami lies. Torches were applied in a dozen places to etch field, gm} the ripened state of the grain together with the dry spell that had preceded this ter.ible day, made it an easy prey to the de vouring elemnnt, and almost immediate ly after the application of the torch, the wheat was doomed, and the black smoke and cinders, filled the air like a elbud. Philip was unaware of bis danger until he saw the huge volumes of smoke pouring over him, an 1 even thou he did not know but what it might proceed from one of the burning cabins. He dared not raise his head to see, hut his suspi. ions si?nn became certainties, for Sr he ’ay rn his face, he saw fbe red blaze rushing to hijn, through tho yel low stalks of ripeDed wheat. Two dea'hs we r e before him; from the red hand of the Indian, or the no less merciless flames. He might escape from the Indians utid-r cover of the smoke, but if be lay where he was a moment longer, he must perish. He took the chance that gave hopes ot life, and sprang to his feet; but a shudder ran through his frame as he did so. One startled glance he gave around him, and thon ho bounlcd away for the forest, about fifty rods distant. At his n'moet sped, tho youth prang forward to the fine of fores'treiß •la promis'd him shelter aud refuge, but he could make but little l.utdway as the wheat was very stout and rank, and impeded his prognss sadly, yet ev ery nerve was brought to the tusk, for he knew that life or death depended on his iff irts. lie had achieved perhaps one third nf the distanco, aud hau gained some what on the Himes that were following un.dly on hit rear, and thus far the dense sinnke had proved a shield that the eyes of the savages could no s pene trate, but imagine the horror of Philip, when he saw a might, line of dime, springing up on the outer edge of the field to Wiiiob be was running, and hei pil the shouth of th“. red inci nliirie* as they caught sight of him springing madly toward them. Nut knowing but that tome of their victims might be concealed in the w!,“at, they were firing (he fi. ld on all si lea to insure the.r de struction, and by this means they had discovir- and Philip in tho field, while he was trusting to the smoke to hide him from their sight, Tho shout of the savage that had first discovered Philip was rei chord by his companion*, and they quickly sur rounded the field I’etckmineu to leave no chance of escape fioaa the dimes, to the hated pale-face. Philip Morgan’s hear' mt.k wjthin him, aud all hopes of e cape fl and from him. A ring el roar iug, hissing fl-mis around hi .1 onevtry side, rushing swift ly toward hiur, and darting out their scarlet lounges, as if iu haste to wrap him iu a robe ol fir -, and outside of this a ring of blood-thirsty savages, far more cruel than the ficiy element that liemed him iu. The youth hod a bruve h *rt, but where was thy man that ever lived and stood in his situation, that w uld not quail, and give up all hope of life ? liithi r of his eui i ies was enough to try the strongest heart aud make it trem ble. Closer and ci isar, rams the I taring fianuß; already they were scorching his his person with the heat of a fiery fur nace, yet why Should he stir from his place ? By going furtlur and furtheron |)e might proloug his life for a few mo ments, but already the fiamos in ad vance were rushing toward him, and Philip , though he saw no hope of es cape, went forward, and soon the fl imes Were roaring where he bad stood. A few yards further on, and the huge tiunk of a fallen tree lay before hiui. Its limbs had been ch<ppedcfl by the settlers, but the body was so large, that they had nut attempted to ronioVe i f , when quick at a fiish ol lightpjng from the murky heavens, a new-born hope of escap", flashed thr ugh U e bruin of the danger encir I ebd youth, lie well kniw that the bugh trunk of the tree was hollow, and the cavity was large enough to admit of his crawling in a long distance. 11-re was a chance of escape, from the flames at least, and it might be that tlie Indians would think that he had perished and in.-titui no further search for him. The shell* if the trunk was of considiruble thickucss, and be knew that even if it burned readily, it would be some time b< f .-re it reichcd bim, and he hojel by that time the In dians wi uld be gone. Iu a few mometi'S he was snugly eh scoucid iu the trunk of the tree, at the most extr me point from the entrance, aud with beating heart awai'ed the on setofthe flames, and tho tirpe that should decide his fate. He had not long to Wait for'the advance of the flames, like the roar of th tempest bey came on, and he could feel tbeir hot b'.eath through a crevico ia tho trank of the tree,? which from some cause had been mot iu its giant side*, and which bi r?ed ap a breubirig pl»0 ; for the panting fugitive, without which it would have been noxt to impossible to have obtained air, as his body and clothes filled the upperture almost com pletely. It was but for a few moments tba* the dimes raged ab ut him like fiery demons for the rank wheat was soon exhausted, audibly then passed on, but Pbiiip could hear the fire still tr ick ling above bis head, and he knew from tiiis that tfie tree was on lire, but this did not occasion him any uneasines, as he knew if he remained in his present couditiop, it woula be several hours before the Amies would reach him, il they did at ail, which was doubt ul, as he l iuud from the touch that the inside of the tree was soggy aud wet aud would Dot bnru readily. Wait and (rust was all that could be done. Wait un till the savages bad gore and, trust that it would be soon, aud that they would accept it as a matter of eourse that he had perished in the flames, and therefore would make no search for bis blackened remains to confirm their opin ion. Ii was but a few moments from the time the fire was set, btfire all that re mained of the field of golden grain, was the charred, black earth fom which the smoke was rising in many places, and no sooner had the flames sub-ided, so as it was possible to venture, than the savages, with hideous yells were bunting the ground in search of the youth, whom they were positive bad not escaped the fiery ring with which they had encircled him. It was fev.ral minutes lefiro the ground bad been thourougly explored, and to tbeir amazement, they could see no trace of the one thty bad doom ed t ’fire, and they b gan to tbiuk that after all he must- have made bis escape under cover of the smoke, when their attention was a trac'ecj by the burning ing trunk cf the fallen pine, and in a few moments the whereabou-s of the fu gitive were known to them all, Philip, in forcing himteif into the ap erture, had distorted the Boil on the outside f thd log, abd where hi« f«et had been inleiitctl wus still plainly vbi I bio notwithstanding tho action of the ’ tire, and the litilp h'po that had again crept into the heart of tiiq youth, wi»t out, fur well he knew by their words, many of vyhiph he underwood, that his hilling ) la ic was dbo- v rod, aud he was again at {heir mercy. For a few itorrents th’ Indians con sq’ted together «b to ti>o best method of deposing 11 him, and at last it was agreed among them that the Opel tube of the tree should be cloned up sectire ly, and then luol heaped upou the burning trunk until it should bo con sumed along with its inmate. Tue fee ings of Philip Morgan can well bo imagined, as in pursuance of this resolution, the demons with a large stone securely closed the en trance, so that it would bo imposs trio for out person on the inside or out side lo remove it aloi.e. Then he heard them depart and oie long return w ith fresh fuel, which they heaped above him and he heard the red ele ment by which he was encircled take new life therefrom, as if it g'oried in the deed it was about to pe.fiirm But tlie youth never w inced or gave a token that lie wan therein. Not a cry uame from his lips, th ugh he feared ho had Been the green grass and the blue sky lor the last time.— Placing Ins face close to the crack in the tree, which being clo6e to the ground, was uot us yet on tire, he lay s iii with odj a faint hope of life, liu’ help that the youth little dreamed of was at hand A strong foroe of whites, headed by L ga",. the Bcou', had for many days been upon ibtir (rail) and now they Lad cothe up with them ; and tho first inti mation that the Bhawnees bad of thicr presence was a volley of bullets that fell among them who were beapiug fuel upou the log, like hail upon a tio.d if leider corn. Fur a npuieut they were dis - mayed by the suddenness of the attack, but they soon rec verod thtintelves and being joined by tbeir comrades from the other cabins of the se.tlcuient, a battle raged that fur ficicuncta, was not exceeded by auy in ail the Indian war. The n suit of the conflict was that the Ravage wtru routsd with half tbiir number kill'd, wld'.c all tho pris one a that Lad be on taken were recap tured. The remsiuing Indians fl and to tho fore-,t and away, as fast as they were able. An h ,-ur later, as tho whites were busy unerring some if the fall n Indians and a fallen ouniiade, they were start lid by a faint voice, oomiug apparently from the burning log near them. Ap proaching nearer, they lound that there wus s-inn) uue appaicutly iu the mi Ist of tpo flames, aud culiiug to it, they foutid ou - what saeimd a mys yry The stoned is moved from the cavity, and Philip ;Mi rgan, prelected by the fiery shell li6 had inhabited, Cano Ijfih, much to the sur) rise of thueU to whom he owed hi- life.
