PROSPECTUS or THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. mills is a monthly Magazine, devoted 1 chieily to Literature, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tha fall within the scope ol Science , and not pro essmg an entire disdain of tastelUl selections, though its matter has been, as it will con tinue lo be, m the main, original. Party Politics, and controversial Theol ogy, as far as possible, are jealously exclu ded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valu able matter to which they adhere: bu' whenever that happens they are incidental, only, not primary. They are dross, tolera ted only because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical Notices, occu py their due space in the work: and it is the Editor's aim that they should have a three fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting in cidents as are embodied in the works re viewed, —to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to warp him against wasting tune and money upon that large number, which merit only to be burned. In this age of publications that by their variety anti multitude, distract and o venvhelmu every undiscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. EssaYs and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both ; Historical sket ches —and RkminisencES of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and lieiglitning its interest—may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish ed—-sometimes of no mean strain—to man ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents'of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and uot one alone, but manyt The public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive influence of Lit erature. is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. V ice and folly are rioting abroad They should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in-, to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an immense proportion ot our peo pie :—Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase tli p ir number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portent aus cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can He employed, than a periodical on the plan of the Messenger; if that plan be but car ried out in practice? The South peculiarly requires such au agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is this con trast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste of the Southern people, compared with those of the Northern ? No : for in wealth, talents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, a:i equality with our brethren md a domestic institution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, affords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was fromadeep sense of this found want ♦hat the word Southern was engrafted on this periodical: and not with any design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate sup posed local interests. Far front any such thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see tiie North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands ot mutual kindness and affection. Fat from meditating hostility to the north, he. has al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and' h ip’.ty indeed will ho deem himself, should ill's pages, bv making each region know the other better contribute in any es serial degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace ot both, an 1 to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now been inexistence four years-—the pre sent No comrnancing the ficth volume. How far it has acted out the ideas here ut tered, is not for the Editor to say; lie be lieves, however, that it lulls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice, fall short of Theory.

Towards the close of last century, there lived on the western frontier of the state of Pennsylvania, two families, bearing respec tively the names of Mayne and Waters, i Though dwelling within a couple nfmilesof one another, and more than double that dis tance finin any other settlers, it so chanced ilia: these families were on the worst of terms. The heads, at least, of the two households, were so. and the cause of ’heir mutual dislike had reference to a distant period. Both had taken part in the war which gave independence to their country, but they had chosen opposite sides. Wil liam Mayne had thought it his duty to main tain his loyalty to t he British sovereign, while Waters had been one of tlie most ardent supporters of the revolutionary party. Per haps tbe mere cirvuinstance of having adop ted different sides would not have excited the hostility alluded to, had not Waters been the instrument of procuring the im prisonment of Mayne at an early period of the contest. Waters had conceived himself to be hut fulfilling the part of a true lover of his country in doing so, and declared him self free from all feelings of persona! enmity. Mayne s confinement had proved iu the end rather a fortunate event than otherwise, for at the close of the war he was held to liuvp incurred so little guilt, that his liberty as (veil as property were restored to him. which might not have been the case had he been allowed to oilier more largely into the con test. William Mayne, however, was far from considering himself as a debtor on this score to his countryman; and when the two accidentally removed, after the war, to the same district on the western borders of Pennsylvania, sentiments the reverse of friendly existed betwefn them. It must be owned t > at tho bos ility lay chiefly on Mayors part, for Waters felt the consciousness of having been actuated by pure motives in the transaction at which Mayne took offence, and was rather anxious to conciliate h:s loyalist neighbor than to nourish any feeling of dis like towards him. Neither of them being bad-hearted men,it is probable that, had they conversed freely together, thev might have attained to a better knowledge of each ether’s < haracter, and have become good neighbors. But, near neighbors as they were, no inter course was kept up between them. Their families too.shared in thisestrangement.with the exception of two members of these retired households. Mayne had only one son, Hugh, who had jus' reached the bloom of youthful manhood it the period when the incidents we have to relate took place. Hugh Mayre loved the daughter ol \\ aters with his whole heart and soul. Often had this pair met on the lonely mountain side,when no human ear was at hand to listen to the, outpourings of their simple affection. Mary Waters did not j conceal ti esi meetings lor her parents, who jif they did not approve, at least did not check or forbid them. On the other hand, knowing well the dislike that rankled tn his father’s mind, Hugh May ne did not venture for a long period to re veal the attachment that had sprung tip in his breast. Blinded by the strength of his passion, he m last ventured to speak on the subject to his father. The astonishment of the elder Mayne at :he disclosure was only equalled by his anger. “Again and again,” he said, “have 1 told you of the cause 1 have to dislike that n an and all that belong to him. II- inflicted on me an injury, for which he has not deigned ever to make an atonement, evtii in winds. You knew tLis. and yet you hate—lhtgli Mayne, you have ever been a dutiful s t ip ( and T now lay ...y commands on von, never to—” The son interrupted his father. “Do not pronounce a command,” lie said, “which it will be impossible— wliicli it will destroy my peace—to obey. And not mu p ace only, but that of another, u ill be ruined by it.” “A’on are too simple, Hugh Mayne,” re plied the father; “you know not tbe temper of that man and hrs whole breed. Mary Waters can have no true affection for a son of mine. Hate to all of out name would be instilled into the inimls of that family from their cradle. It is our money they look to ” “You are wrong,father,” returned Hugh; ‘ this isyourown prejudice that speaks.” “And have 1 not cause to be prejudiced?’ said tbe father, warming with the recollection of bis wrong ; “did not I suffer imprison ment for years through his means ? I have eier been a kind parent to you, Hugh, but I know not that 1 would not sooner see von wedded to a negro slave, than to a daughter of Henry Waters. Never will one of that r an’s offspring he a good and loving wife to a son of mine.” Though conscious, in the depths of his soul, ol the erroneous nature ot his father’s assertion, Hugh saw the necessity of giving up tlie point, foi the time, at leas*, before his father should be irritated into a more positive expression of auger or discourage ment. With a sigh be turned away to put on bis hunting gear, teeliug that solitude would be most congenivlto his present state of mind. Erelong he was on his way to ihe lulls, with his hunting belt across his shoulder, ami bis rifle iu his hand a weapon which the half farmers half hunters of the border seldom went without. It was verging towards noon when Hugh Mayne left his home. On the evening of the same day, Mary Waters sat in her lath er’s cottage, with her knitting on her knee, working, and at the same time conversing with her invalid mother who lay upon a small bed in the same apaitment, “1 hear the dogs barking, Mary, why has not your father taken litem with him to the hills to-day 1” asked the old woman, •He thought, motherthat tbeirr.oise might bring the Indians ou hut track, ifthe savages have rea!ly returned to his neighborhood, which 1 pray lo heaven may not be the case!” As the young woman made this reply,she rose fr>.m her seal, and saying. “ r I he ('ops know iiis hour—my father should be con irig home now,” she went to the door of the cot tage. She returned in a minute or two with the information that her father was not yet visible. Alter an aflectiouate inquiry into the state of comfort of the old w oman, the voting maiden returned once n.oie to her hot* ely labors. Her anxiety did not permit her to sit long ere she again went to the door to look a long the hill side in front of the cottage lor the form of her returning parent. On lipt third visit her mother was greatly startled by a wild shriek from her lips, followed bv her hurried re-entrance into the cottage. “Mer ciful heaven !” she exclaimed, in an ag my ot alarm, “Hugh Mayne is pursued! The savages are al his heels ! Oh, mother moth- 1 er, vvliat is to be done ?” The powerless invalid to whom tins vaii apppeal was made fell back on her couch, while the daughtet rushed again to the door. A dreadful sight was indeed before her rye Along the side of the hill already mention ed, her lover was seen making at fell spree for the cottage, trusting, doubtless, to re ceive assistance, or to effect a stand there al some advantage against those who pursued him. There were three in number, dusk' sons ot the wild, terrible with their warpaint and Tittering fearful yells as they Voundt and ai short distances from one another, like deer hounds after their prey. Hugh had the ad vantage of them by not more than thirty yards, a distance that seemed fearfully short to the straining eyes of poor Mary. All parties were armed; the Indians both with gun and tomahawk, and Hugh with his ri fle only. But, as it appeared, the fire-arms of the savages chanced not to have been loaded when they first set eyes on their victim. Tltb weapon of the wh'tc hunter, fortunately, was iu a different condition; ant! while he was still a considerable way from the coitnge, he turned round, raised his rifle with instant and unerring aim, and the fore most of his pursuers tumbled on the sward a lifeless corpse. Some time was lost by this act, rapidly exe cuted as it was. In truth, the loss seemed likely to be fatal to the w lute hunter, who re commenced his flight with the distance be tween him and his surviving foes alarmingly diminished. But help was at hard, and ft cm an unexpected somee. Being more than six miles distant from any other settlers, and neither her father nor any others of the fam ily being at hand, Mary, Waters had spent moments in maddening anxiety, hopeless ot all aid, until she bethought her of one chance of help such as it was. She flew to the place where her father’s two dogs, for the reason noticed, had been terr porarily shut up, freed them, and led them in the direc tion o' the chase, exerting all the Rpoed which her limbs were at the moment capa ble of. The faithful creature, of a power ful breed, and accustomed to hear hunting, speedily recognized the approach of stran ger and enemies, and needed not the cries of the maiden to send them at full speed in the required direction. They reached the spot just as the Indians seemed to he gain ing and dosing on Hugh. The wild sava ges had not seen the advance of the dogs without some preparation for their recep tion. Poising his tomahawk, with scarcely even a momentary abatement of his speed, the foremost of the two Indians threw the weapon at one of the advancing animals, when a few feet from him, and buried it in the creature's body. The other Indian was not so fortunate in n similar aim at the oth er dog. The tomahawk missed its mark, arid in an instant the animal had sprung at the throat of the savage, and pulled him to the ground. A single glance behind him told Hugh that the dogs had effected a change, and rid him for the time of one pursuer. Panting and exhausted, he resolved to make a stand against his now single foe, and terminate th- r'intest, if possible, by a struggle l and to l and, ere the prostrate savage could free hinisel! from the dog, and come to his com panion's aid. With this determination lie suddenly wheel' and round, grasping the bar rel of his musket with both hands. At this instant the pursuing Indian was not ten ya'ds distant. On seeing the white hunter’s movement, the savage also made a sudden stop and assumed tbe same attitude. Each equally fatigued, ami with breasts heaving I igh with toil and excitement, the two ad versaries stood gazing on each oil er, as if by mutual consent, to regain breath for the deadly struggle. Both ot them were men of tall stature, and with forms combining, in an extraordinary degree, power with ac tivity. After a pause, the men appeared at one and the same moment to think 'of lo.v : ding their guns, as the preferable mode of determining the contest, in the exhausted <=tate in which thev were. Their hands moved simultaneously to tl eir powder liotns and a most momentous trial of quickness in loading began. Both of them handled their arms w ith the dexterity of practiced hunters. In the same second offline they rammed theii cartridges, and threw their ramrods on the ground. With the quickness of light ning the Indian applied his powder lorn to the priming, and in that moment of fear ful import it is not surprising Gnu i,j g ; )an ,| trembled, daring as he was. But Hugh did not apply his horn to Jie same use. I] P staked his life upon a chance. Striking the breedi of his riflle violently upon the ground, he raised the weapon, aimed, and |)is bullet went through the heart of his ene inv ! By the plan ho had adopted, lie had trusted to his rifle primming itself, and the second of time which he had thus gained had decided the struggle. It was but a se rond that he had gained, for, as the Indian fell, the bullet from the mouth of his asscen ding rifle touched the very Lairs upon Hugh's head All this bad passed before the eyes of poor Mary, who had continued, in the un thinking agony of fear and love, to fly in the direction in which her lover's dancer lay. She reached the scene ol the contest we have described before Hugh had raised his eyes from the body of his fallen adversary, and she fell into his arms with an exclamation of mingled terror and joy. Her presence, wiiieh would have keen fatal to both at an earlier moment, now reminded Hugh of the cecessityof preparing his a|ms for the possi- I itq hilit vof another encounter. He laid the in- '* sensible form of his mistress gently upon the grass, and loaded his gun carefully but qui' kly. Seeing no tmivetn* m, how ever, » on the part of the prostrate Indian, wlt|,y st no great distance, he concluded that fl,e faithful dug had mastered the sa’age, and held him still in its power. Hugh then ap plied himself to the task of recovering Ma ry from her swoon. fc*he opened her eyes w itli a shudder, and on seeing the well ki ow n countenance of her lover bending over her, she mummied, “Has this been a dream—a fearful dream ?” “No, inv dearest Mary,” replied Hugh.- “it is no dream, that you have been a pre seveting angel to me this day! It is no diearn that you have snatched me Iron th© brink of the grave !’ A glimpse ol the dark body of the India* did more than these words to bring back to the voting maidi n’s mind a sense of the re ality of the dreadful scene that had passed, nil the rcmeinbr nee was so Irmhle that' fora time she relapsed into a state almost o£ insensibility. W hite Hugh was endeavoring to restore l er to perfect consciousness and composure by the use ot every endearing term that love .and gratitude c ould suggest to him, a third pally, breathless and exhausted, cameupto the spot. This was Hugh’s faiher, who had seen from a distance the danger of his son The agitated parent's first quettion was, if I ugh was unhurt. “That 1 am alive at all, father,” was the reply, “you have to thank, after heacen, ibis dear girl's lote lor me, which made her regardless of her own life when mine was in. danger ” “I partly beheld what she did. aid Ido thank her,” said the elder Mayne, with tears in his eye*. “May God bless her for this day’s act. I have been unjust to her, and foi her sake, I w ill be the first to drown all unkmdness between her father aid myself.” Mary W’nteis was sufficiently recovered by ibis time to hear these words, and ; bli *h of pleasure suff used her cheek as she ra.si and her head from the aim that had for a time sustained her. Hugh had kept his eve occasionally on the spot where the dog and its adversary lay and after the conversation with his father, the young man went up to the spot, with steps rendered cautions by iiis knowledge of the cunning of the savages. No motion appeared on the part of the Indian. In truth, he was dead. The dog also was life less. having been stabbed repeatedly with the long knife ofthe red man ; yet, even iu death, its teeth relaxed not their hold ot the hare throat ol the savage, who had been choked, as appeared from the ground, only alter the most violent struggles. On ascer taining this fact, which put an end to all danger for the moment, Hugh Mayn© and h s father, at the desire of the latter, accom panied Mary Waters to her home. Her mother had passed the moments ot Mary’s absence in a state of great anxiety, propor tionate to wliicli was her relief when the happy result of the adventure was made known to her. Her husband, as has been said, was from home, but he returned be fore the elder Mayne’s departure, and a re conciliation took place, which was a blissful sight to the youthful pair, to whose happi ness the previous estrangement had been- so obstructive. Iso long lime afterwards, Hugh JVfayne was united to Mary Waters.
