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 Princ seep sente band 15 y deng pai conti ess Hanski had met; till his sub- ut visit to Germany, when he pre- hinaself—as her accepted hus- During these long intervening ars, hoWever, a literary correspen- was steadily kept up between the s, till at length, instead of a letter •inina literaty -strictures upon his writiugS, a missive of another kind, havi g 4, still more directly personal. , 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. Great Western Railway. Trains leave Brussels station, north and south as under: GOING NORTII. GOING SOUTH.
