MAJOR Jan'y lst, 1870 A Story of our Forefather's Days, BY ARTHOR L. MIRERVE. Among the eaMicst settlers of Ossipee, ew Hamshire, was a man by the name of Reuben Gray. Three years before we call the reader's attention to him and his, he had come from the settlements ia Dover, and built a substantial cabin on the south shores of the lake which gave the name to to the settlement and town. Here, for a couple of months he lived alone, with the bare exception of three days when he had vin building his gabin; 'This "done he had returned, and Reuben Gray had toiled om until the cabin was completed to his mind, and quite a little clearinghad been made upon the lake. Then he turned his back upon the labor of his bands ard once more threaded the forest in the direo- TER gone. to io Joma bis nearest neighbor, BR | thiee miles away, and e) ed him to us- A #1 tlon.of the southern settlements ; and when after a few days he again faced the north- ward, his wife and eon accompanied him. After two days 'of toil they were safely installed in their new home, and had gone to work with a will to make things snug and comfortable. Tne land upon the mar- gn of the lake was fertile, and the result of their toil was that it brought forth abundant- ly, while from the beautiful sheet of water outspread belore them, any quanlity of the most delicious trout could be obtained, and for three years they enjoyed a swason of peace and plenty, unalloyed by danger from the red men, who often came long distances, even from the Notch in the White Hills which reared their heuds away to the noith- ward, to fish in the waters of the lake, as their fathers had done for ages and ages before the loot of the white man had ever left its imprint on the sands of the shore. But an ill-will had grown up. between the white man and the red, and the air was thick -with rumors of the outrages that were itted by the savages. Several cabins of the more exposed settlers had been burned and their inmates either ruthlessly murdered or carried away captives to Can- oda, a fate almost as bad, for few of ihe women and children survived the long and tedious arch through ths wilderness. The red men, although they came to fish in tue lake now and then, were seldom seen by the white settlers, and less frequently still was any intercourse hell between them. One morning Reuben Gedy left the cabin early, to be gone all Jog. It was his inten- tion to visit the neighbor of whom we have made mentior., Wha lived three miles away and southward from'thé lake. A few days before this neighfer, whose name was Perkins, had worked for him, and this day had been appointed to an exchange of labor in settlement, Gray having agreed lo per- form some work fot Perkin. In these few days the rumors , which had been so long rife had been augmented, and tyne of savages had been ecen around the ake. In taking his departure that morning, the settler felt 1ll at ease, and had it not been for disappointing his neighbor he would have remained ai home. As he threw his axe over his shoulder he bade his wife and son--now a youth of ten years--to remain olose by the cabin, and to keep a good look- out for any danger that might threaten them. His rifle he left in the cabin for their grealer protection, as he knew that in. case of emergency, his wife could use it in their defence. Reiterating the cautiom after he had crossed the biook which fell into the luke a little way from the doorway, the mother and son stood gazing after him until he had disappeared in the forest, when they went about the usual employment of the day. The first thing to be done was to milk the one cow they possessed, and when Mrs. Gray had done this, the boy Philip drove her tothe pasture but a shost distance away while his mother, mindful of the injunctions she had received from her husband, watch~ ed him until he had closed the bars and re- turned to the cabin. The day was a log one to both Mrs.Gray and Philip, the latt.r missing his father's company very much, and perhaps more than he would have done had he been al- lowed to fish up the brook as he was wont 10 do. Fearing that some harm might be- fal him in his father's absence, that the Indians might be lurking about the shores of the lake, she would not consent that he should for a moment leave her sight, and he, accustomed to obey, had borne his pri- vation as best he could. The sun was something less than an hour high above the tree-tops, when Mrs. Gray came to the door of the cabin, and and glanced at it, called to Philip, who was buwy with his knife and some sticks, making a little dam across the creek. He at once obeyed the summoad, and coming to ber side asked what was wanted. ¢ You may drive up the cow Philip. It is rather early, but I don't care to have you go nigh the woods when the shadows begin to fall. If she is out of the pasture do not try to find her. Let her go until morning, when your father will hunt her up. ¢ But I am not nr of the Indians, mo- ther,' said the boy, proudly drawing him- self up to his full height, as if he would have her see how much he had grown. ¢1i she has gat out where she did the other day, may | not go down as tar as the great oak where father found her ? The clover grows thick there 7 The clover grows thick there and it would do you good tosee her swallow it down. I know the way--and don't be- lieve there is an Indian within a_dozen of miles of here.' ¢ I think you had better not, I'hilip. The woods down that way are thick and tangled, and danger might be near when you little thought. I hope she has not sbroken out, but if she has you had better let your father hunt her vp in the morning. You know he said that we must keep close to the cabin to-day." Philip did not entreat further, for he knew that his mother would not give her consent, #0 he turned away and went whistling down towards the pasture, and stending.. in the doorwav. his mother walobed him take ture and standing in the dosrway, his mother watched him take down the bars, and then ron across the pasture towards a little grove of trees which had been lelt tb afford 8 grateful shade for their cow during the hot days of summer. There was a deep hollow, into which he disappeared, and. as he did net i i emerge into view on the opposite , she concluded that she had seen the cow in the ravine farther down, and so had gone down in that direct- won. At this moment some article of food she was cooking for supper demanded her at- tention, and re-entering the cabin, she re- moved it from the fire, This, detained her but a few moments, when she again went to the door, and bending her gaze down toward the pagtufe,zliet: ned i fot the sound ob Phifip's voice aang "the cow. All was 80 silent about the place that she could hear the tinny ripples of the lake upon the shore and the chirping of the crickets in the grass olose by, but no sound of her son's voiwe reacked het ear" The Pasture was small, and he had had plénty ot time to have gone over it by this lime, and she began to fear that he had disobeyed her, and gone in search of the vow, which must have broken out of its inclosure. She waited a few moments longer and then threw her apron over her head and set out in pursuit of him. She had reached a point about half be- tween the cabin and the bars, whena wild, piercing shriek in the well-known voice of her son fell upon her ears, and'which for a moment seemed to turn her blood to ice, her heart to stone, and to deprive her of ihe power of motion. Again it was repeated, and this time the words came distinctly upon her ear. ¢ Mother ! Mother ! the Ingians have got me !" and then there was the same breath- less silence as before, ¢Oh ! Father in Heaven, spare my child from the heathen foes," burst from the pale lips of the mother as she strove to rouse herself from the great fear that oppressed her heart, and to burst the bonds that had deprived her of motion. By a violent eflort she was successful and took a few steps forward in'the direction whence the sound had come. ~~ ¢ What can my feeble hands do to save my child," she said despairingly. « How can | strive to wrest him from those terrible savages, Oh! Reuben, Reu- ben, that you were here to save our Philip I' For a-moment only did she give way to despair, and then a look of determination took its place, and turning she ran swiftly 10 the cabin, never pausing as the faint cry ol-Philip apparently at a greater distance 'than when he called before, broke upon her ear. For a moment she disappeared within, and when she emerged from the cabin she bore her husbaud's rifle in her hands, while about her waist was his belt, to which his hunting knife was attached, as well as his powder horn and bullet: pouch. Leaving the door standing wide open, she set out at the utmost speed in the direction of the spot where she last seen her child. The bare of the pasture were down as she had seen him leave them, and passing through, she soon gained the spot where he had disappeared into the hollow. A quick glance up and down revealed nothing, nor did a sound break the silence save the warbling of a rqbin or: a bush close beside er. Going 'info the hollow, she beheld near its upper extremity, by the feuce that here crossed it, their cow, and passing rapidly along in that direction, she" traded in the moist earth'the footprints of her child, and about halt way up, close by a clum'p of bushes she beheld the imprint of moccasins and at once realized that Philip's captor lad here been concealed, and had unexpectedly sprang out upon him. A trail which the savages had taken no pains to conceal, was easily traced in the moist earth, and the mother, almost frenzied by thé loss of her child; hurried along the hollow, urged on by the hope of coming vp with them, and in some way by her unaided arm, securing him from his captors. From the impression made in the muddy earth she judged that the savages were three in number, and after going on a few rods she could see no signs of het child's footsteps. She came to the conclusion that they had borne him away in their arms, he not being able to keep up to the pace they desired. This conclusion urged her on to_greater exertion, and she followed with all the speed she could command, de- termined to save her child or share his fate, In a few moments the extremity of the hollow was reached, or rather that partion of it which was inclosed in the pasture.-- Here by the fence the cow was feeding quietly, and the animal raised her head and seeing her mistress at once started off for the cabin, while Mrs. Gray continued in the opposite direction. * "Philip, Philip.' How often was that name on the tongue of the mother, as she hurried on, and how sh longed to shout aloud his name, but she prudently desisted fearing to give warning to the savages that they were pursued. The sun went steadily down, at last it was lost Senath the treetops ; and the lpom of night bagan to creep into the orest. Night was fast coming, and in the darkness how could she follow the trail, which even now cost her many precious moments ae she paused in uncertainily at a point where it was rendered obscure b, the rocky natufe offthe ground; but mu to their faction, the trail turned abruptly towards the lake and as the forest grew thinner more light from the rosy west was thrown on the scene, and the trail was again plaialy discerrible, On the shore of the lake was a narrow beach of white sand, and upon this the trail struck ; and 80 plain was the footsteps that there was no difficulty in following even after the light had died out of the west. With her hus- band's rifle firmly clutched, she hurried on, seeing nothing before or around her save ahi | aud thinking of nothing save. her ohild: The/moments lengthened into hours, and at midnight- came.. The moon vod sily followed in broad daylight, and still she toiled on, unmindful of fatigue or the dangers of her pituation, but the way which had been #0 essy was now about to change. A huge thrust jtself far out into the lake, an d ch led on the further in this. w cliff she paige a moment and then began the weary ascent of the hill whence the rook thrust nself "out. It was of oon- siderable height, and several times she was obliged to rest herself through sheer exhaustion, but at last she stood upon the summit and gazed down the deep deolivity before her. A thick forest covered the hill, eaching down to the water's edge for the sandy beach did not extend in this direction -be- 8 Jodie hf. 'The, wail. she had oat,' owing tothe ragky nature of the ground, and as she stood perplexed; gazing about her, and she cautiously began the de- scent, Full ten minutes had elapsed before she reached the foot of the hill, when suddenly she found herself but a shor distance from trees in a manner that showed it was being sugumented by the deapaning of a quantity of dry fuel upon it. The red flimes shot upwards, throwing out a red glow into the forest, and from the spot where she stood she could see the dark forms as they flitted about the fire preparing some food hefore they continued on their vourse. They would not remain eonear the settle- ment through {the night after the outrage they had committed, she was well con- vinced, and it she would rescue her child it must be done at once ; or at least before they were prepared to resume thdir way, 80 with the caution which would not have disgraced a scout long used to such warfare she approached the camp, and was soon so close upon them that she could behold all that transpired, while she was shielded from sight by darkness and the tronk of a large tree, behind which she had taken refuge. Oue of the savages was seated upon the ground a little apart from the fire and close beside him Philip, placed in such a position that -his slightest movement could not escape the eye of his captor, and the moth- er's ho sank within her as she saw his danger, from which there was but her feeble arm to rescue him. The bullet slumbered in the barrel of her, husband's nfle would do for one of the savages, but would not the other two be upon her before she could reload 7 The other guarding her boy should have that bullet, for if one of the others fell he might avenge his death by that of Philip's. Nothing oould be gained by waiting; and with a prayer upon her lips for success and strength in this her grest hour of trial, she brought the rifle to her shoulder, and taking a deliberate aim fired. Loudly the report rang through the forest, and the savage springing from the ground, stood erect upon his feet, and the next moment fell headlong upon his face, a corpse, while Philip, with half frightened cry sprang t& his feet and looked eagerly about, as if debating in his mind in which direction the shot had come, and whether to flee for safety, * For a inoment the two surviving savages seemed stricken with astonishment at this unlooked for assault and death of their com~ panion ; and then one of them sprang to- wards Philip with uplifted tomahawk, while the other turned towards the point whence the report of the rifle had come. Nota movement of the savages had escaped the attention of Mrs. Grap, through she was striving with all the haste possible to reload the rifle. A handful of powder had been pourpd.mto the barrel and she was driving down the wadding upon it, when she saw the savage springing towards Philip. "With 'a ory she bounded forward, missing the tomahawk circling above his head prepara. tory to giving hig the fatal blow. With a sud thought, which to her seems inspiration, she presented the rifle with the ramrod still remaining in the bar- rel, and pulled the tricker. A loud report followed, and the recoil was so great that the intrepid woman was thrown backward, while the savage, with a how! of pan, fell to the earth with a ramrod driven let ly through his body, while the force of the fall impaled him to the ground, where he lay howling most horribly. Only for a moment was Mrs. Gray con- fused by the recoil of the rifle, and the in- jury she received in falling. Springing to her feel just as the other savage, coming to avenge the fate of hie companions, sprang towards her with vplifted tomahawk, com- pletely at his mercy, as she had no weapon of defence, she expected a} every moment the fatal blow ; but before the tomahawk could descend the report of a rifle rang out loud and clear, close at hand, and the sav- age fell to the earth with a bullet through his heart,and the next moment,with a shout of irinmph, her devoted and grateful hus- band,rifle in hand, followed by the son of the neighbor for whom he had been at work, quietly emerged from the gloom of the forest and clasped her in his arms, which were opened wide that they might include the httle figure of Philip, whu was hanging about his mother's neck. In a Iittle time Mrs. Gray told him of what had occurred, and in return learned that her husband had come home with the youth who wag to help him next day, and finding the cabin deserted, had sought the trail and followed on just in time to strike the last blow in the batlle which she bad been so valliantly sustained against such fearful odds. ree I ------ A rising man--The balloonist.

It is thirty two feet beam, and eight feet depth of hold, and its peculiarity is in ite propelling power, which is a nov- elty invented by a man who has followed the sea for many years. It is thus described ; ¢ The propelling power is to_ be a -turbine wheel, sel at the bottom of a flume rising five feet from the ship's bottom. The water enters the flume from the ship's sides just below the water line. This opening is pro- vided with a valve to prevent the water from returning when the ship " lurches in a rough ses. ¢ How is this water to leave the ship 7" asks every one. From the bots tom of the flume, near the turbine wheel a tunnel eighteen inches in diameter ex- tends along the ship's bottom to the extreme stern. This tunnel is to be so constructed as lo constitute a vacuum, and is to be sup= plied with a set of revolving fans to acceler~ ate the egress of the water, and with valves to prevent the inflowing of the water from the stern. The water in the flume wiil have a head of five feet, furnishing a power or nine-horse. Now the inventor, who is one of the workmen, expeots to secure 100 revolutions of the screw before the outer valve in the tunnel is reached by the out~ flowing current of water, or a rate of speed equal to five miles an hour. A moving vessel always makes a trough in the sea at the stern, and the faster the vessel moves the greater the trough. The trough will lessen to a considerable extent the pressure on the outer tunnel valve, and the remain~ ing force necessary to overcome the pressure open the valves and release the walter, is expected to be created by the movement of the vessel itsel'. The principle is that which will empty the bowl of a common olay pipe drawn rapidly throngh the water; Once in motion the ship is expeoted to at- tain a rate of speed only limited by the power of the turbine.' A NOVEL RAILWAY. A one-rail railway has been in successful operation between Raney and Monttermeil, near Paris, for two years. The locomotive for a on 1 road has four wheels, two be- ing placed, one at the front and one at the rear of the engine, bearing on the rail.-- These give the direction and are double- flanged. The other pair of wheels are plac- ed in a transverse plane passing on a line in front of the fire Pan They run on an oak plank or macadamized oad, as the case may be, end are the driving wheels.-- This sort of railway ean be built in France for about $1,000 a mile. The locomotives weigh six and ten tons ; the former runs fourteen miles an hour, drawing, besides its own weight, thirty-five tons up a grade of two feet in & nundred ; the latter will draw fifty tons at a rate of eight miles an hour up the same grade ; on a level it would draw ore hundred oi, hy tons, This system is the invention of M. armanj int, a French civil engineer, and many believe that it may be successfully introduced on turnpike i with the grades and curves which the common highway usually has. ammm------ ¢ Who dare epit tobacco juice on the floor of this car?' savagely exclaimed a large snd powerfully-built passenger, as he rose from his seat and stalked down the aisle, frowning defiantly * upon the other ers. ¢I dare!" said a burly looking allow, as he deliberately ejected a quantity of the noxious saliva upos the floor of the aisle, ¢All right, my friend,' said the first speaker, slapping the other in a friendly manner u the shoulder, "Give us a chew of tobacco." ------------ = ------ Some ass ters in Sieve; hay ig 19- ceived $18 bount; three on Sunday, Bava gaabiod their canscienpe giving the mopey toa Supfay sohool AY.
