BY MING L. BERM.
A bevy of girls, • grand -daughters of
the aged hay of the mansion, were as-
sembled for their usual summer visit at
the old Beatty homestead. Acting mat
child nature everywhere, they beset
. grandmother Beatty one everting for a
story, and when she assented,"and gave
Them their aheice among several had -
dente of her earldays, they naturally
preferred the following, as it relates to
a wedding and a baby, two subjectof
particular interest to girls of their age—
twelve to sizteen. :
She always began this oft -told tale in
the Home words of halt apology:
"I heard it so rainy times when I
was a child, and have told it so often
since I became old, 'that it does tieem as
if I remember it; though that cannot
be, for I vies only fifteen months old
,when it happened. But it is just as
true, girls, as if I could reoollect it my=
self, for I heard ply - father , and grand-
mother and others tall it over ever so
many times. And;so 3 eu will forgive
rae if I tell it just mit though I remem-
ber all about it, for indeed I cannot tell
it in any other way.:
"I was born in my father's little log
cabin inlet a fortnight lifter it was built,
the fifteenth of April, 1781, and My
cradle was a roll of bark with two
crooked sticks for rockers. That was
in Westmoreland County,Pennsylvania,
at a place called Miller's Station, two
miles from Hanna's Town. Both these
places wt3re destroyed by the ledians
and never rebuilt; they were not far
from the present village of Greenburg.
'Those were years of war all over
America, but the frontiers had the
hardest of it, for British agents kept
the Ladians stirred up and surplied
them with guns and ammunition, but
the colonies had all the .fighting, they
could 402 along the seaboard, and so had
no help to spare to the borders. Count-
less murders of women and children
were committed by the savages? and
hosts of people carried into captivity.
Those were awful times on the fron-
tiers.
"Wellfthe incident you 2 have asked
me to tell occurred on the 13th of July,
1782, when I was a baby just running
alone nicely. There had been many
settlers farther into the wilderness than
'Miller's- Station and Hanea's Town, but
gradually they had been driven back
till our places were the last on the
borders. Among the settlers thus re-
turning were two Scotch families who
stopped and built cabins near cora, the
- Cowles and Dunlap. Other e also set
tied down at Miller's, until, with the
great double mansion of Mr. Miller, the
fine house Of John Brownlee, and
several smaller ones, we had quite a
'Mary Conde must have been a
beautiful Scotch girl, for her praises
were in everybody'a mouth, and as I
first recall her, though thirty years old,
she was a lovely woman. And James
Dunlap was worthy of her, few men I
ever eaW equaling hini in looks and
bearing. It seema that line, like wild
violets, blossoms in the woods as well
as in the fields and perhaps it is sweeter
there than in the towns where it makes
so much gaudier appearance, like over -
cultivated pansiea. At any rate, James
and Mary courted, loved, married, and
lived a great many years of wedded
love, all in the borders.
-"They were general favorites ill our
little settlement, and when it was whia-
pored about that their wedflng-day
was set, Mr. Miller went to James and/
invited him to have the wedding at the
raansion and ask in a houseful. James
assented, and when the day came, July
12, it was a goodly company that gather-
eil,to see the lovers united. Numbers
came from Hannies Town, chief among
them hieing Mrs. Hanna herself and her
two beautiful daughters, the aristocracy
of Westmoreland. -
"In old times the wedding day was
the bride's day, and the next was the
groom's, and was called the infair,' and
this was a more festive occasion than
the marriage itself. So yon see my
story happened net at a weddingneally,
but at the infair.
e'Everything went merry enough un-
til the middle of the afternoon. There
had bee4 dancing, , and playing, and
great glee after dinner, when suddenly,
like a clap of thundei out of a clear Ay,
a terrible war -whoop buret on their ears,
and a hoit of ,painted savages rushed
into the mansion. It seems they had
attacked Hanna's Town about noon,
most of the people escaping into the
fort: and then, before anybody could.
get away to give US warning at Miller's,
they had come unawares upon our
place.
"Moat of our people were captured;
a few men who were mowing grass in
grandmother remainedin our 'cabin in
charge of me, a baby, he h d stopped
home' for a few minutes to look after
our welfare.It was at thlis moment
that the warwhoop sonnde1 and the
sneak began. A glance tolI my father
that nothing he could do wo¼ild .avail to
save my mother or rescue any but
grandmother and me, if avail this could
be done. But as our cabiii wak at the
farther side of the hamlet, itt the very
foot of George's Hill,, he decided to try
and escape into the thick wOodi a little
distance up the slope. : Catehing me in
his Arms and taking his mother by the
hand he hurried us toward 2 the forest,
Hardly had we started when the roving
eyes of several savages spied us and
pursuit was instantly made. 2 Grand-
mother was old and feeble, -and the
fright and haste almost overcame her so
that she could hardly walk. My father
seeing this and noting how feet the In-
dians were gaining on us, balanced in
his mind which to give np and which to
try ancl save, his mother or his child.
And this question was 'settled when he
reached the edge of the woods; for at
that point he • dropped- me upon the
ground, and, devoting all his strength to
his mother, escaped the savages and
reached George's Farm, a few miles dis-
tant. What should become of me he
could not imagine, though -he said that
until darkness shut down, and be came
back to searbh for wife and baby, he
had constantly before his eyes a viaion
of my scalp of glossy ringlets in a red
man's bloody hands. When night ca
he stole to the clearing to examine the
state of affairs. - As he crept out from
among the trees and listened and gazed
Mi was still, but not all dark. Below
him at several pointe were glowing beds
of coals, and the smoky air told him
that the hamlet was not only bereft of
its people but burned to the earth.
Warily crawling down the hill he came
first to the 'moldering remains of the
Cowls cabin, next were the embers of
the Dunlaps' little house, and next to
this had stood our own. But, as he
approached, what was hie amazement
to discern, instead of a bed of sidles, the
outlines of the cabin dimly seen in tbe
darkness. A fire had beeh built against
its walls, but owing to thegreen state of
the logs it did not burn.
"As he stood before the open door
thinking how ranch of love aud- happi-
ness had been suddenly snatched from
beneath its roof, a sweet, sad longing
possessed him to enter. He did so, and
by some instinct of his mind,or influence
of a higher power, groped his way to the
bed where at that hour, but ler the aw-
ful disaater, his wife and babe would
have been peacefully sleeping. Putting
out his hands with almost it wail for his
lost ones, what was his astonishment to
feel a human form on the cot. With a
shudder of mystery, hope and fear, be
felt along—it was a living form, for it
moved—it was a child's form—and lift-
ing it to his breast, his heart told him
it was I, his baby girl, alive. And me
he clasped me in hie arms, the events
of the past six hours seemed like a hor-
rid nightmare. But too sadly .did he
learn the reality of thing a before an-
other day passed. Knowing the crafti-
ness of the Indians, he dared not remain
longer in the cabin lest some party of
them, prowling to catch such returning
settlers as he, might come upon him;
so he carried me to the -woods And wait,
ed for morning. •
"How such te mere infant as I • escap-
ed and found my way back to the cabin
was never known.
"As the dawn carne, my tether peered
into the valley for signs cif friend or
foe, but none appeared ; the little set -
gement was a deserted rutin .
"At broad daylight we crept from our
hiding -place and cautiously wandered
among the remains of the hopse. At
one point we found where the savages
had taken their departure„ and 2 from
sonae unaccountable inclinaeion my
father followed the traiL It ltd partly
in the direction of HannateTown, along
a stream called the Crabtree. Hardly
a mile had we gone when we oa;me upon
the gory forms of Mr. Brownlee and the
child; and a few feet feetber, among
the wild crab tree% ley* sight more aw-
ful still: my own mother, dead and
cold, lay stretched on the bloody ground.
With uncontrollable sadness my father
put me down from his arms, -wlhen in-
stantly I ran to the lifeless form and
began calling in a baby's way, 'Mammy!
Mammy But -never again wOuld the
dear mother and wife answ7 to the
voice of love.
This was the sorrow of Jeremiah
Loohrey, and this was his motive
through many years when his neme and
deeds were such a power along the fron-
tier and such a terror to the savages.
You have cften heard, girls, that your
great-grandfather was a great Indian
ter, but he was led to such a life by
4orrow ; not because he delighted in
bloodshed, but he saw through his grfef °
how he might save others from the
cruelties of the red men. ,
s I grew to womanhood my father's
fem gave me importance, and I was
kno n far and wide as 1Lochrey's
dam titer,' a title which has always
chi g to me, and of which I confess I
was never ashamed."
he distinguished man who had been
their apprentice, they thought of these
-words. •
One evening there came a stormy,
boisterous wind, and the little strewn
in which the tanner was wont to wash
the wool upon the skins WAS swollen to
a torrent. To attempt to cross it by
the toed at such a time would render
one liable to be carried 2 down the
stream and be dashed to pieces on the
rooks. ,
'We must get all ihe sins under
cover,' said Gaspard to his apprenthiee
'A storm is at hand.' •
The task was finisheirand the tanner
was about to return to his cot and
Claude to his shed, when the boy ex-
claimed—
'Surely I heard a dry. Some one is
trying to cross the ford!' And in an
instant he darted towards, the river, fol-
lowed by his master, carrying the lan-
tern. Some villagers were already
there; snd a. strong rope was tied around
the waist of the brave boy, who was
about to plunge into the stream. For
a man on horseback was seen coming
down the river, both rider and horse
muoh exhausted. Claude succeeled in
grasping the rein ; and the strong hands
of his master that held the rope drew
him to the shore and all were saved.
Soon after, the stranger sat by the
tanner's cheerful fire, having quite won
the hearts of the good man and his
wife by hie kind and courteous man-
,
nem.
me 'What can I do for your brave son?'
he asked.
'He's none of ours; and not mech
credit will he be to any one, we fear.
He wastes too much thue over useless
books,' was the bluff reply of the honest
tanner, who could not see what possible
use Clande's studies would tie to him.
'May I see the books?' atked the
stranger.
, Claude being called brought the books
of Greek and Latin classics, and stood
with downcast face expending to be re-
buked. But instead, he received words
of commendaition from the gentleman,
who, after Beate talk and questions, was
astonished at the knowledge. the Foy
had acquired.
A few months later, instead of the old
tanning shed for a study, Claude might
be seen with his books in a handsome
mansion in Paris, the house' of M. de
Vallais, whose life he had saved, and
who had become his friend lied bane -
fader. The boy felt that be -had only
done his duty, and that he was receiv-
ing much in return; and he determined
to make every effort to meet th expeci
tations of his patron.
He succeeded. Claude Cop eronier,
the boy who did his best, became the
most distinguished Greek and Latin
scholar of his time. At the age of
twenty.five he filled the chair of Greek
professor in the Royal College of Paris.
More than this, he became a man Who
feared God, and was mach beloved for
his goodness and amiable qualities.
He never forgot his former master
and his wife. Their old age was -cheer-
ed be many tokens of remembrance in
the iorm of substantial gifts from the
man, who, when a boy, studied as dili-
gently by the fire of their old shed, but
who 'would never make a tanner.'—

some of the red men recognized him

The Boy Who Did ilia Best.
(A MEV FOR BoVe.)
He is doing his best, that boy of six-
teml, stretched out before at bright fire
in an old tanning -shed. Reclining upon
an Odd sheepskin, with a book 1 in his
hand., he is acquiring knowledge as truly
as if at some favoured institutian, with
all the 1 convenience and faeility ilor
lea ningt. . .
He is doing his best, too—this same
boy, Claude --as he helps his master to
-prepare the 'sheep and lambs' skin dye-

leather. He is doing his best by obedi-
ence and by respectful conduct to his

The Cynic. .
One of the most disagreeable human
beings is the cynic who does not be-
lieve in good or disinterested motives.
He distrusts every one. He is skepti-
cal as to the sincerity of all Men, and
he believes that self interest -prompts
eh their actions.
Whenever you seq one of these men
you see one who is filled with seifish!
nem that there is n4t room enough. in-
side him for it, and or all the egotism
he tries to carry, and you will see it
oozing out of him at every pore. These
,two attributes crowd his soul into a,
small compass, press on his heart °until,
there is not room for it to develop e
generous impulse, and take possession
of his mind until liberal or noble
thoughts cease to exist there.
He is liberal enough in one way—
liberal in unbeliefs—but a narrow
minded bigot in his beliefs.. When he
hears of some unselfish act, he begins
hunting for, a, selfieh motive, and should
he fail to find it, he says: "Well, I can-
not understand what it is for, but he
must expect to benefit by it sonaehow."
Certainly, he cannot understand a dis-
interested act of' kindness, because all
his own motives are prompted by self
interest. He knows of no higher mo-
tives.
The cynic is simply what he believes
all other men—who are not fools—to
be. His heart is not large enough to
conceive a chivalrous act. his brain is
not of sufficient dimensions to beget or
be delivered of a noble or generous
thought, and his little soul is BO shriv-
elled that if it were possible that it
could ever get to heaven, and if Peter
should smile a welcome as he let it in,
it would immediately suspect the saint-
ly gateman of having some interested
motive in .beiog to friendly.
Whenever you Meet a man of this
kind, who suspects that eyerybty, in
the world is trying to take advent ge of
him, you may be sure that that man
would cheat everybody in the -world if
he could. Whenever you see e tnan at-
tribute mean or sordid motives to others
you have found a man who himself is
mean at lieart, and you have discovered
a man who may have many acquaint-
ances, but very few friends.
Snakes, even the most venomous, are
supposed to have been created for some
useful purpose, and so the cynic has
doubtless is. place in the economy of
nature that it is necessary he -should
fill, but he is a very disagreeable ne-
cessity.
"Two Valises."

stopped in front of a Chicago man, who
looked as it he was anchored to his
seat.
The fellow addressed handed over the
required pasteboard, which was duly
punched, and looking around, the con-
ductor said :
"Where's your friend ?"
"What friend? I have no friend."
"Where's the party occupyipg this
seat with you ?"
"I'm alone," said he, looking 2 some-
what puzzled at being questioned.
"Then what are you doing with two
valises ?"
"Two valises! Why I haven't any,"
at the same time moving his feet with
much exertion.
"Oh, excuse me," said the conductor,
and as he passed out of the orix was
heard to remark:
"The biggest feet I ever saw."
