A Canadian. Heroine.
• —It was towards the end of June
that one afternoon Neville True -
raw" was riding through th for -
the neighborhood of the
_Raver Denise near the town of !Thor-
eni—a place, -which received. its Iname
from the remarkable constructions of
the illan.strious animal which has been
o ted as the national emblem of
Vprzer Canada—where there -s as a
arAall force of British troops post d. In
pas twilight he observed a, trave-worn
-woman approaching upon the forest
pathway, with an air of bodily weari-
ess yet of mental alertness and anxiety.
Ail be drew near he recognized a worthy
Canadian matron; whom he had, mord
than once, seen in his congregation in
tlae school house in the village of Chip -
1
Pe,wewha. y, Mrs. Secord," he exclaimed,
reining in his horse as she attempted
to pass him, furtively trying to conceal
ber face, "are you'notafraid to be so
farfrora home on foot, when the coun-
try is so disturbed. .
- "Thank God it is you,Mr. TrueMan !"
she eagerly replied. "I was afraid it
might be one of the American scouts.
Ifome,' did you say? I have no home,"
abe added in a tone of bitterness.1
• "Can't I be of service to you? Where
Isyour husband?" Neville asked, won-
dering at herdistraught air.
I
..ifaven't you heard?" she replied.
“Ife was sore wounded at Queenston
Heights, and will never be a well man
again; and our house was pillaged and
burned. But we're wasting tinae :
what reGk my private wrongs when the
country is overrun by the King's ene-
mies? How fax is it to the camp?"
"Farther than you can i.valk Nvitholit
resting," he answered. "You se4na al-
most worn out."
"Nineteen miles I've walked this day
through woods and thicket, without bit
or sap, to warn the King's troops' of
their danger." ,
es
"What danger ?" asked Neville, won-
dering if her grief had not affected her
Iniain'Th7e enemy are on the move ----hun-
dreds of them—with cannon andhorses.
I saw them marching past nay cottage,
this very morning, and 1 vow -ed to warn
the King's soldiers or die in. the at-
tempt. I slipped unseen into theewoods •
. and ran like a deer, through by-paths
and across lots, and I must press. on or
I may -be too late."
Not for a moment did this American—
born youth hesitate as to his duty to his
adopted country. Wheeling his horse
he exclaimed—
"You brave woman, you've nobly
done your part. Let me take you to
the neaxest house and then ride on and
give the alarm."
"I hoped to have done it myself." she
said. "But it's best as it is. ;Never
minclme. Every minute is precious."
Without waiting for more words, Ne-
ville waved his hand in encouragement,
and putting spurs to his horse, was out
of sight in a moment. In a few thin- ,
des he galloped up to the post held by •
the British picket, and flung himself off
his reeking steed—incurrin ba imminent -
risk of beiug bayoneted by the sentry,
because he took no notice of- his per-
emptory challenge. Bursting into the
guard -room, he called for the officer of
the day, Lieutenant Fitzgibbon. A
few. words conveyed the startling intel-
ligence—the alarm was pronaptly 'given
—the bugle sounded the "turn out"—
the guard promptly responded—the
men rushed to arms. Messengers were
despatched to an outpost where Cap-
tain Ker was posted with two hundred
Indians, and to Major de Heren, cora-
roanding a body of troops in the rear.
Neville, followed by two files of sol-
diers, returned to naeet the brave Cana-
dian matron to whose patriotic heroism
was due the rescue of the little - post
from an unexpected attack by an over-
whelming force. They found her almost
fainting from fatigue and the reaction
from the overstrung tension of her
nerves. . Leaping from his horse, Ne-
ville adjusted his cloak so as to florm a
temporary side-saddle, and placed the
travel -worn woman thereon. Walking
by her side, he held the bridle -rein and
carefully guided the horse over the
rugged forest -path, the two soldiers
falling behind as a rear -guard.- As they
approached the post at Beaver Dams,
the red -coats gave a hearty British
cheer. The guard turned out and pre-
sented arras, as though she were a
Queen; and the gallant Lieutenant
Fitzgibbon assisted the lady to alight
with as dignified a courtesy as he could
use to royalty itself. She was commit-
ted to the care of the good wife of the
farm house which formed the head-
quarters of the post, and every means
taken to ensure her comfort. By such
heroism as this did - the stout-hearted
Canadian women of those stera war
tunes serve their country at the risk of
their lives.
Vigorous efforts were now ima-e for i.
defence-. Trees were hastily fe led. to
blockade the road. A breast -work of
logs was thrown up at a commanding
position, in front of which was an abat-
tis of youna trees and brush, piled up
to oh stru °Capproach. Lieutenant Fitz-
gibbon had only some forty-three regu-
lars and two hundred Indians, to op-
pose a force of nearly six hundred men,
iucludinrfiftv cavielry and two field.
pieces. He must effect by stratagem
what he could not effect by force. i Every
man who could sound a bugle, and for
whom a bugle could be found, was sent
into the woods, and these were posted
at considerable distances apart The
Indians and. thirty-four red -coats, con-
cealed. behind trees, lined the road. Be-
fore long was heard the tramp of caval-
ry and riunble of the field. guns. As
they came within range, the buglers,
with all the vigor in their power, sound-
ed a charge, the shrill notes ringing
through the leafy forest aisles. • The
Indians yelled their fearful wax -whoop,
and the soldiers gave a gallant ofteer
and opened a sharp . fire. 1
The ruse was as successful as that of
Gideon awl his three hundred men
with their trumpets and pitchers, in
the wars of the Philistines. After a
spirited attack -the advanced guard fell
back upou the main body of the enemy,
which was throwninto confusion.
Some of the cavalry horses were wound-
ed, . and dashed wildly through _ the
,railks, increasing -the disorder. The ar-
tillery horses caught the infection, and,
plunging wildly, overturned one of the
• gun -carriages into . the ditch,. At' this
tnoraeut a body of twenty ' Canadian
talkie, arrived, and Fitzgibbon, to car -
q out Inc ruse of affected. superiority of
DiMbers, boldly demanded the sur-
render of the enemy. Colonel Boestler,
the American commander, I think-
ing the British must be strong -
Ty supported, to Lieutenant Fitz -
gibbon's astonishment, consented. The
latter did not know what to do
with his prisoners, who were twice
as many as his own force, including the
Indians. The opportune arrival of
Major de Heron and Captain Villiers,
with two hundred men, furnished a
sufficient force to guard, the prisoners.
The chagrin of the latter on hearing of
their deception and capture by a hand-
ful of red -coats aud red -skins was in-
' tense. The name of the heroic Cana-
dian wife, Mrs. Laura Secord, to whose
timely information this brilliant and
bloodless victory was due, ;was honor-
ably mentioned in the military de-
spatches of the day; and her memory
should be a perpetual inspiration to
patriotic daring to every son and
daughter of Canada.
Matrimonial Renii-ni Scences.
A young Scotchman having wooed a
pretty buxom damsel, persuaded her to
accompany him to a justice' of the
peace; for the purpose of having the
nuptials celebrated:__ They stood very
meeekly under the operation, until the
Magistrate came to that clause which
imposes the necessity of subjecting the
lady to the rule of her husband.
"Say no more about that, sir," inter-
rupted the half -married claimant ; "if
this 'hand remains upon this body, I'll
make her obey me."
"Are we married yet ?" eagerly eja-
culated the exasperated maiden to the,
ratifier of covenants between man and
woman.
"No," responded the wondering jus-
tice.
"Ah, very well; we will finish the
rest another time," she continued, and
in a moment more va-nished, leaving
the astonished swain to • console him-
self for the escape of the bird he
thought he had so securely caught and
caged.
As a counterpart to the foregoing, we
might cite the - instance of a certain
couple of rustics who presented them-
selves to the priest as cau.didates for
the holy estate of matrimony. On the
conclusion of the ceremony the redoubt-
able husband, whoebegan -to have sun --
dry misgivings at what he had done
said;
"Your reverence has tied the knot
tightly, I faney ; but, under favor, may
I ask if so be you could untie it again."
" Why, no," replied the donaiuie ;
"we never do that on this part of the
consecrated ground."
" Where then ?" eagerly inquired the
disconsolate victim.
"-On aat," was the response, pointing
to the churchyard.
A curious legend. is related of Egin-
lard, a secretary of Charlemagne, and
a daughter of the Emperor. The sec-
retary fell desperately in love with the
prinoess, who allowed his advances.
One winter's night his visit was pro-
longed to a late hour, and in the mean-
time a deep fall of Snow occurred. If
lie left, his foot marks would betray
him., and yet to remain longer would
expose him no less to - danger. At
length the princess resplyed to carry
him- on her back to a neighboring
house, which, it is said, she did. It
happened that from the -window of his
cleaanber the emperor witnessed this
novel proceeding • and in the assembly
of the lords on the following day, when
Eginhard •and his daughter were pres-
ent, he asked what ought to be done to
a man who should compel- a king's
daughter to carry him on her shoulders
'through frost and sno-AT on a winter's
night? They answered that he was
worthy of death. T:te lovers . became
alarmed, ' but the emperor, addressing
Eginhard, said :
" Hadst thou love.d. my daughter,
thou shonldst have come to me; thou
art -,vorthy.of death—but I. give thee
' two lives ; take thy fair porter in
marriage, fear God, and love one an-
other." - •
Balza°, the French novelist, exhibits
another example of eccentrieity in ma-
trimonial affairs. When Barlzae was at
the zenith of his fame, he was travel-
ling in Switzerland, and had arrived at
an ima just at the very moment the
Prince and Princess Hanski were leav-
ing it; Balzac was ushered into the
room they had just vacated, and was
leaning from the window to observe
their departure, when his attention was
arrestied by a soft voice at his elbow,
asking for a book which had been left
behin71 upon' the window seat. The
lady was certainly fair,*but appeared
doub* so in the eyes of thepoor author,
when She intimated that the book she
was in quest of was a poeket edition of
his own works. She drew the volume
from beneath his elbow, and flew down
stairs obedient to the screaming sum-
naonsiof her husband, who was already
seated in the carriage, railing in a loud
voice lagainst dilatory habits of women
in general and his own spouse in pare
ticular •, and the emblazoned vehicle
drove off, leaving the novelist in a state
of self -complacency the most -enviable
to be,conceived. This was the only
occasion upon which Balza° and the

tend -ncY; reached him from the fair'''
hanc of the Princess. It• contained the
ann. placement of -the demise of her
husband, the prince, that he had be-
queathed to her his domains and his
grea wealth—and, consequently, that
she elt bound to requite him in some
mea lire for his liberality, and had de-
tern- ined upon giving him a successor
—in the person of Balzac. It is need-
less so say that the delighted author
waited not a second . summons; they
were forthwith united in wedlock at
her ehate,au ou the Rhine, and a—suc-
cess on of splendid fetes celebrated the
ausi, icious event.
Tao following 'romantic incident of
real life has been also traced to Switzer-
. Several years since an ill-assort-
ed marriage held for a season in un -
will ng captivity a husband. and. :wife,
who 'e mutual dista.stes at length be -
cam so confirmed that they resolved
upoi a separation, and made an ap--
poi tmant with au attorney to meet
and sign a deed to that effect. On their
way thither they had to cross a lake,
and as it happened they both embarked
ou t ie same boat. On their passage a
stor arose, and the boat was upset.
The -husband, being a good swimmer,
soo reached the shore in safety. On
loo ng•round to see the fate of his
fellow -passengers, he distinguished his
wife, still struggling for her life, and in
imminent danger. A feeling of his
early affection returned. to him, and.
plunging again into the water, he swam
to her, and succeeded in rescuing her.
When she recovered her senses, and
learned to:whom she owed her life, she
threw herself into his arms, and he em-
braced her with equal cordiality t they
then vowed to bury their differences in
oblivion, and their after -married life
was no more darkened. by the storm -
clouds of strife, but brightened and. glori-
fied with the sunshine of love.
Once, at Holland House, the conver-
sation turned upon "first love." Tom
Moore compared it to a potato, "be-
cause it shoots from the eyes." "Or
rather," exclaimed Byron, "because it
becomes all the lessby paring." It- was
so in his case.
The Hibernian was in earnest, if not
in haste, in his love suit for a beauty,
when he told her he "could get no sleep
o' nights for dhramin' ov her." One of
the most concise courtships we have
heard of, was the following: Au emin-
ent geologist, who was travelling several
years in a stage coach, happened to
take a seat opposite to a lady. Of
course glances were exchanged, for how
could they help so doing? A code of
eye -signal's was next adopted, and soon
afterwards eye -language was exchanged
for verbal conversation. After a few
interchanges about fossils and petrifac-
tions, they began to talk about living
objects and subjects, from generalities
they descended to specialties and per-
sonalities. Said the gentleman "1
am still unmarried ;" .quoth the lady,
"So am I." No. 1 then replied, "1
have sometimes thought of marrying ;"
" So have I," responded No. 2. Then a
pause ensued. " Suppose we were to
marry one another," was then proposed
by the man of fossils; "1 would love
and cherish ;" "and I," said the fair
one, "would honor and obey." Two
days afteroit is said, they did the deed.
—Like some other towns St. Marys
is not a good place to collect taxes.
Semi-annual collections are now talked
of and fines for defaulters. The Solic-
itor is engaged drafting a by-law ,intro -
'awing these -new features.
