UIi$cfI(anfoii5s TiLE OF KE.VTLlkn.WIIE EARLY DIY.l Io May, K69, Daniel Boone and five otaert, tta. ted oat te explore the almost an tracked wilderneat of Kentucky. Some line inbtequent, four of the ptrty were carried off hy r.h Indiana, l.aviar eVwinai aad a man Darned Stewart, aiooe. Not long afterwards Stewart wat alao killed by the savages.

Of course be met with numer I nose turccard. I Late one afternoon in June, the lonely ' but bold pioneer made bia appearance io i front of the little log ctbin. At be eame us to th. door h. ..Id to himself : i "Wal, U 1 am t tired enough to take a rett. I never wur io all my life 1 I'm com- pletely worn out, an' rayly must rest for awhile, or 1 tntn I ct wuth anything lor a month tatnnii ' I'm nnnlw hsritv it's asr. tin. but I can't Hand evorvthinv. an' I ve I bia on the wove aver ainee Squire left for ' the settlement. Time for me to lay bye little, ture, if the Iojnnt will let me, an' tbal't a risk we pioneers tnuat alien run." Boone moved forward to enter the cabin, and aa he did to the loud detonation of ai f.D (truck tuddenly upon the still air. The ntJt njoment a lock of bis flowing hair wat ihori off by tbe pasiiug ball, which barelyj miiiea tat ma oi tne aauntiess pioneer. vuiok at tacagai ooone eatt a ngniniug giaooe arta.t. ouauamy msgaaj Deeame fixed. In tbe deepiest and dimw. si of the forctt bit keen and praoticed eyct bad de tected the half bidden form of a redskin. Tbe Indian wat just io tbe act of rapidly loading hit gun. "Sol io 1" laid Boom, inttantancously bringing bit rifle to bit shoulder, aud quickly discharging at tba savage. Contrary to bin expectations for thi great pioneer wat a dead tbot the Indian escaped uninjured. Witb a whoop of defi ance the redskin again leaded hit gun and dischtrged it at the borderer. Boone dodged behind tbe cabin, however, and et- Anflt ihn rldsfllv tnASBAnirar snrl lm liirlisn took te tbe cover ef a large tree near which be wac atanding. s,n" Pa"d wy, nd neither anoe, or showed any sign ef their preteacc. Save the tonndi of tbe forctt, every thing remained perfectly quiet. Boone, however, was net idle. He never wat. Cautiously satisfying himself of the posi tion of bit foe, be quietly aod ctealtbily crawled away from the oabin, and by a eir eaitoat route gtiaed a position directly ia the rear ef the lavage. Tbe Indian wat bent down behind the tree, intently watch ing tba cabin, aad holding bit rifle in a po tition for instant utc. "Keep your eyct open, redskin!" mat tered lioene, at be gated at tbe erouobieg lavage, "keep yoar eyct open, er you'll not tea half aa muob aa yer 'sped to. Now, then, look; out for your greasy bide I But fait I'll let jo".,,, mjr f6e afore joa go dewa, ai jer sartia to io ba I piul this eU rifla e' mine." , Baoae raised bimulf up idu uttered a riaglDg about. The Iodise leaped to bia fait and gated in tbe direction of the lound. At tba tame moment be spied Boose and leveled hit gun. Tbe brava pioneer wis beforebud, however, as might well be ix-j eoted, and tbe rednkin'i death fallowed quiek on the oriek ef hii trusty rifla. With yell, whieb eebead fsr aad wide, the sav - age threw eat bii araai tad foil upoa tbe earia. At the latoe moment a dozen wboopi an swered the last yell ef tLedyiog savage. "Whew 1" eriad Boooe, with aom show of emasemeut, "the felic eare't alone it itesi.' Still the whooping continued, gradually drawing nearer and nearer. H al, here i a sitiratioi for one tingle tu." he added, at he rapidly loaded hit j "T"' '? i,ttle 1klue J'ed Carl rifle.

First, now, to reooDoilrn a little, ud then fer the best thing that turns ap " Boone quiokly .elected out a better place of concealment, and forthwith hid himtelf away to await farther developmeate. A few Biinute. afterwards the savages came dashing aleng, brandisbiDg their weapona aad uttering loud and diaoordant aonnda. Beone eoueted more than a doten of the huge, uglv Vepaiated deviit, full ef mischief ef the worst sort. Suddenly they reathed the tpot where lay the body of tbe Iod an when tba pioneer bad tbot down. Haitinp, they clustered around the dead s.vage, filling the air with tbe moil terrible cries and thrieka imagin able. "These fellows wouldn't tbow me much mercy if they war to ketch me," muttered Boone. "Howsoever they tbau't ketch me yet awhile, 'thout I've lost all my old eatral cunnie', and if I have, tbe loss bi been mighty tuddent and anawar to ait," The Indiana were still dancing and ca pering around the dead body. Suddenly tbey baited, and for a few minutes talked together in the most vociferous manner Then they all started on toward tbe cabin evidently bent upon tbe bloodiest sort of wcrx Muoh to their disappointment, appar ently, the cabin contained u animate ob ject on which to wreak their vengeance. Fer a while tbey bellowed and raved like incarnate devils, aaddenly tbey again atopped and talked together. After a few gather up twigs and leaves with which tbey oubsequently almost buried the little house, j Then with .bouts and yells and demoniac rejoicingt tbey Urea tne neap. "ibeyre coin to burn uowa toe iitiic i ey re goiu' to turn down the little i and the time for recest came, to tbeir as- ! mtlti pre8.ed it to hit lips, and thee rever i !'' muttered Boone.

" Meanwhile be kept h, eyes latently fid Pe lh "dskins aad tbe burning 'n A look of expectation rested upon bis .unburn! countenance. ; A manor of ten minutes, perhaps, passed away. Suddenly a loud report sounded far ! nd near, and the air iu the vicinity of the burning cabin was filled wuh a dense vol-; ume of thick" mien tmohe, auu a ma.a 01 tparkt and flying bodiet. Simultaneous with the explosion couia oe beard the loud whoops of tho tavaget, what were left of them, for tbore nearest j the burning catun haa ceen rent, tuia aioiua r . r,A lUir hiirnt and charred bodies Scat- tarad in the air. I "I knew it would come! I knew it would eome "'cried Baoue, excitedly, rush- iog out of hit biding place, and directing bit ttep. toward the scene of the late ex- plosien. . Meanwhile, the Iuuians who had been to fortunate as to eseape witb tbeir lives not more than half of them, if that many darted off in the forest as if Satan hitu- sell were in pursuit o. uieui, auu ncii last to view. Himself uuseen, l!oono watched them until they disappeared from eight, and then the pioneer began to exam ine the effects of the laic explosion. Noth ing much was distinguishable, however. The charred timbers of the rude oabiu were scattered about everywhere, and not a aign was visible of any nrticle which tbe eabin had previously contained. Here nd there a blackened skull, a mangled limb, or the trunk of a body, was to be seen amougthe burnt timbers and black embers which freely strewed the grouud. "Wal," muttered Boone, at length, "there warn't a great heap o' powder in that keg, but sartaiuly thar war enough lo do consid erable execution. Now, I don't think the red deviit would a bin so quiek Grin' the eabiu if they'd a knowed all things; and that jest thowt the great imporlance of never doio' a thing in a hurry if ye are not foroed to. I'm sorry to lose the powder," he added, reflectively, "cause its Ligh about all that'a left. Hut. however, Squire must be baok soon now, an' I must be keerful of what little reuiaiot." Aa he ottered the last words, Boone hap pened to look ahead aud taw four or five Indian! advancing in a cautious creeping Banner. Fortunately a clamp of trees eoucealed the pioueer from obtervation. On toward tht tpot where the cabin bad ttood, orawled tbe redskin., and uot one of them but looked as if he expected the ground would open and awallotv them up. With bis rifle hH ready for instant use, K,.. .tno.l .r..l wi.iohail th. lli. "lheui followtlook skeery oougb, au' as I dou't need their osmpany at all, I'll jut ie if I eia't hurry tbim of! fiu," Buttered tie pioueer at length. Quickly aiming hii rifla, Boooa blaied away. With a ibriek, one of tbe redtkiai fall to tbe groaad, aod witb loud ytlli, aad without looking babied them, the others again darted off into the forest. That wai tbe last seen ef tbeui, though Seese watched aatieatlf for teveral hours. Thev ' probably feared to retero, oe doubt think- 1 ing the Evil One himself leagued agaiuat , them. THE LITTLE VKITE Aim. Some children ttood in a group before the door of the Tillage tohoel bouse ooo lovely sutuBier evening. They were all talking pleatantly together, trout Kline, the ion ef the neb and proud of that? If tbev were ceod friendi. what difftreace did that make, I sbould like to knew? Wait till children become grown people, for pity 's take, before you expect tbem to measure each other's worth by what they possess or wear. "The new school uia.'ter, Jilvinheer Fried erieh, comes to morrow," said Otto. "I am so glad. I was weary ef that old Mas ter IlotTiuao, with Lia crooked problauit and hard lessons." "So was I, truly," cried Kline, who al though t good, mcrrj boy, bated bis books as be did medicine. "Ah! thou did.st always like play better i tI,an tb7 frk',lnJ K'ine'" 8.aid Msx- "aDd i f do eiuheer tnedericb will be wise if ho keeps me and thee apart during bcuuui uuura. jjiii come see wnicn ean coine tee get home first one, two, three!" and away they all scampered, laughing and shouting as only school boys can. The following day the boyt were stand ing around the school-house, when the door opened, and Master Friedericb himself ap peared and cried is a cheery, hearty voice: "Welcome, my children 1" "Welcome, master '.'' cried thev. And now they entered and mok thsir :eatf.

She stood so fair, to pare with her small white hands folded over her breast, and her eyes uplifted that the children gated enchanted. "O, the dear angrl, the beautiful angel cried they all. "Wilt thou give il to me, Mr. Fricdcrich?" hut the good master smiled and said: "The little angel is too lovely to be given ! to any one without rectiving an equivalent." i "What shall we give you for it?'' cried 1 me uoys. i "Well, said Master rriedcrich, "he "!'" ' "' ' iub w.igu.ess thing on oirth shall have the angel." On the next day. as might be supposed, u,,iv.nUw v. ...ic. , duced. S(""c nsd polished up a shilling till it shone like a little crown; one brought a wn.uui-rjai.il wuicu inn niuic. uou pitu him, and which he considered a wonder of transparent brightness ; and Kline, the rich HoffTiei.-ter's son, had apaste buckle, made to imitate diamonds, than which, in his opin- . ion, nothing could be brighter. ill .i. :.... i a ". tor's desk, side by side. The shilling shone away famously, the pebbles and watch crys tal did tbeir best, but Kline's buckle waa the bravest of all. "Ah, mine's the brightest! "shouted Kline, clapping his hands. "But where is little Carl?'' said Master Friedericb, "he ran out just now." All eye were turned to the door, when preseutiy in ru-hed Carl, breathless. In his bauds, held up lovingly against his neck, was a poor little snow-white dove. Some crimson drops upon the downy breast showed that it was wounded "O, master," cried Carl, "I was looking for something bright, when I came upon tho poor little white dove. Some eruel boys were tormenting it, and I caught it quickly aud ran here. Oh, I fear it will die." Kven as he spoke, the dove's soft eyes grew filmy, it nestled closer in Carl's neck, theti gave a faint cry, dropped its little bead aud died. Catl sank ou h's knees beside the master's desk, aud from his eyes there fell upon Ihe white dove's poor broUen wiug two tears, large aud bright. ihe master took tho dead dove troiu his bandt, and hid it tenderly down ou the desk with the bright ibiniis; then raising ' ,;jn 0W be got along.

' "What lay.st thou, Carl?" laid Matter Fricdcrich "Yet, dear matter" an.wered thegener - oag DO The good master smiled thoughtfully, and his eyes rested for a memeat lovingly upon Carl; then glancing around he said: "fie who kringt me the loveliest thing on earth to-werrow, thall bare the angel." The children alapp.d their bandt and de - parted cati.fiod. After aehool the next day.
