Harness the sioeds to my ctr of state,
I'll ride to-day through the world elate,
Through the length and breadth of the world so
wide
My par of triumph shall roll in prido.
My pacing coursers, how blithe they come.
Ruin, Remorse, and Rot and Rum,
Brave four-in-hand, methinka we will drive
When no other horses are left alive.
Why, th iron horse. with bis breath of iteam.
Is tlirrwQ from the track by my reckless team,
And low In the dust at their feet has rolled
Many a warrior gallant and bold.
Hurrah! Hurrah now onward we go,
Scattering madness, terror and woe,
As the trampling hoofs beat down the W6ak,f
Yet care not, pause not, for groan or shriek.
That was an orphan whose dying sigh
Gasped on the stones as we hurried by;
That was * fathei, his homestead's stay;
That was a youth, tl»e beloved by all,
Whose bi ight hair wreathed the dust with his
fall.
And these—ah' pause not to make a score,
But ride on reckless aud strike down more.
Ha! hu! k*ep on our terrib'c course,
Rum and Ruin, Riot and Remorse;
I Trample the fields tlpt you should yield us
|- ! bread,
Till they pour out a blood stained curse in
stead.
Dost thou boa t, oh, War, of thousands slain,
Of the dead that strew each battle plain?
But the hosts that down stricken before me
roll, n
Bear the death wound on body and soul.
Far floats the wrecks on the ocean wide,
There are lower depths, where my rocks must
hide; , ; /f J
No teoipcat of oerth or soa can claim
My name of Destroyer, my cruel name. , >
Thus o'er the length and breadth of the land.
King Alcohol rides with four-in-hand;
Ruin," Remorse, Riot and Rum,
How the demons laugh a« they onward come.
TUB INDIAN H.tIDBN.
About (he-year ''1762, the celebrated
chieftan Pontine, with a larite number
of women ami children, «u«
damped at Dotrtit ia the vicinity at a
tort garrisoned by three hundred men,
and couiuiiuded by M«jor Gladwin.
tTreiu tho firs', amicable relationß had
been established nrul to much friendli
ness and good will had beeu manifested
on the part ol the Indians that the en
lire o>ntiden«te and ii-tiol of tho comman
der had been gained. Unrestricted trade
wai cabled on. % tho mimer brought
many commodities wljjehi they seemed
anxious to dispose of, and which were
nofbUacceptable to the garrison (or tbc
supply of (hfir wants.
One day. soon after their encamp
ment, M ijor Glatfwin was wiibin the
tort conferring with ma or the officers
respecting * measure upon which be was
undecided, when a. ipessenger from their
new neighbors was announced. Orders
were given lor his aduti* lance aud im
i mediately a tall, majestic ludiau
made bis appaai-auce.
4 What does'my rod brother wiab?'
said the major, alter the usual lormalK
ties of greeting had been iuterabanged.
1 *1 come from the great war-chicf,
Pontine,' he replied. 'List niight our
cliiel and wairiors sat long over the
couucil fire. They talked of you brclh^

'The great chief would be on still
more trieudly terms with bis white
lie would eai with him, Lft
would drink with bim, and with him
he would »moke the pipe of peace,' re
sumed (be red man. 'He it not uiiinimK
(ul ol tha kindness of Ibo pale faces,
and iu person woolb make Daw promisee
or friendship aud speak bis Ibauka
Ttils' ia the message. Shall bia wiah be
granted V
Assuredly,' answered tbe comman
dant, without tha least hesitation. 1
ftn grateful this new instance of
friendship ou tbe part of your.Hiief, aud
wiJtingly assent to a meeting wbicb wilt
(tend to atrengtban tbe bonds of brother*
hood, and make still brighter tbe chain
of peace between as. To-morrow, at
(en. we will be ia radiuesa.'
The great chief is good/ said tbe las
siiau with dignity. 'lt ia well. I will
returu to my people,' turning abruptly
be left tbe tort.
Major Gladwin congratulated him
self oil this additional instance of
will on the part of Pon(l*c, for it
augured well for the future, and be
knew tbe advantages of romaining on
good terms with such a powerful jebief
too wail to let au opportunity pass of
eatisf y'mg them of bia peaceable inten
tions. lie waa not sorry they were to
meet, as her surmised such a measure
could not bave other than a good effect;
it would indeed 'brighten tbe links in
tbe golden chain of peace.' and put tbear
ou a more familiar looting with eaeh
other. - j
lie was sitting, engaged ia these re*
flections, when be felt a light touch ou
bis shoulder. Turning ha beheld a
GBAHAM, N. C., MONDAY, MAY 10, 1881;
b autital Indian maiden standing quiet-,
ly by hit sido.
'Abl Miunis,'he exclaimed, qordial-
I* grasping her hand aud smiling a wel
come. 'How you startled ma! But yon
are as light of stop ai ever, that is why 1
was unaware cf >our presence. What
news to-day ?'
The maiden smiled somewhat sadly,
a;id for answer drew a pair of raicoasius
Irom beneath her blanket, and with na>
lire grace tendered them to the majtr
On a prSrious visit, the latter had shown
Minnis a curious elk skin, which she
immediately off jrod to lortu iu'.o so me
thing useful as well as ornamental, and
(Iris was the result.
'They are beautiful, Minnis, very beau
tiful,'said the commandant, earuoitlv,
ai he admiringly surveyed the oriiaineu-*
tnl workmanship. 'I did not know you
could make such pretty oucs. I loar
they cost you much tirno and labor.
'lt they please my white brother, I am
l glad. It is the Lest the poor Indian
inaideu oould do,' she replied.
'They do indeed please me and I on
ly fear- that leh til not bo able to repay
you,'added the major. And saying this,
he attempted to place a piece of money
in her hand, But she almost indignant*
ly drew back, aud peremptorily refused
it.
'Minnis wishes uo rawar 1. The
white chief has been kind to her, aud
the red riiaide\i can show gratitude as
well uglier wljite sisters, was ber proud
roply. ) ,'/
•Wefl.thenL if you will not receive
m/money I.tan at least thank you, and
liliall insist that you keep the remain
der of the skin which vou hare so COll"
scientlously returned, aud make a pair
for your own use,' he added.
'As my whito brother pleases/was (be
brief reply, as she mechanically took the
►kin. But the Ifid'an maiden seemed
reluctant to leave ihe room; her move
ments ware slow ond unwilling, aud
when Gladwin looked up and found him
self alone, he could not but remember,
her lad, wf-tful, earnest looks, aud her
unusually melancholy appearance. This
was uuliko her, tar sho was generally in
buoyant spirit* ana quite talkative du
ring liur vikits to the whites. The ma
jor bad taken an unusual interest in the
maiden,' for she was intelligent, and apt
as well as beautiful iu person aud luani-t
fesled an uncomtUQU dasho to acquire a
knowledge of civilized lite.
As night' came on, and the guard
(whose business it was to close the gates
and see that uo strangers were lelt
within} were performing their, duty,
word was brought to the commandant
that an Indian woman was lurking
about the fort. lie directed them in some
surprise, to conduct her to bis presence,
which Ira* immediately done.
•Minnis!' he exclaijned, in astonish
ment. '1 thought it was a stranger, as
I imagined yon bad Jelt some
ago.'
'lt is only me, brother,' sbe replied.
•Ai.d why Jo you linger? The gates
will soou be shut for the night. Can
Ido aught for you? asked the major,
kindly.
'I do not to (ako away the skin
as the while chief values it so highly,'
she answered, with evident embaras»-
ment.
'Bni you did not make this objection
before, he added quickly.' I do not
quite underatand yon, Miunia.'
j *ll I take the skin away to-night, the
grett captain will never see that uor the
poor Indian maiden again,' she at last
uttered, after a most paiutul pause.
"Aud why not? - ' was the astonished
query.
The maiden answered not, but looked
quickly and suspiciously about the room
anJ then with noiseless step cros-eJ the
apartment and closed the door, which
was slightly aj«r. This douc,she return
ed to her former place.
'I don't know what to think ot this.
Your eonduet sadly puzzles me/ said
the major, who had attentively observ
ed all .these singular movements, and
thought be detected a desire on the part
of Minnis to say something, were sbe
not restrained by some powerful emot
tion. 'Do no* fear Jo teli me anything
which you may consider as importaut for
me to know, for you cau fully confide in
me/ be added kindly. 'You may un.
hesitatingly reveal it, and run no risk of
betrayal.
•Did not one of my people visit you to
day?' she asked still looking cautiously
around, as though expecting one -of her
tribe io rise up before ber with flashing
eyes aud revengeful looks, j *
•Yes; Poutiac sent a messenger, re
questing to meet me iu council lor the
purpose of strengthening our friendship,
aud to-morrow was named is a fitting
time,' was the rejoinder.
•It is • plot; Pontine has decreed that
the pale faces shall perish before aooilie
suu sinks In the We*t/ she whispered
while ber slight figuro trembled with
fear.
'Tell me all—tell me quickfj!' cri d
Gladw.n much excited. 'AiiJ ii you
fear harm, protectiou aud safety will al
ways be afforded you here.'
To-morrow, when toy people shall
come to have a talk, they will speak iair
but yet be wary and cuouiug; aud if iuy
white brothers be not on their guard, the
kulfe aud tho tomahawk will do their
work!' said Minnis iu a low hurried
toue. , ... ...» . V
'And is there not sotno signal agreed
ipon ?' asked the-Major.
'My poople will como to tho council
with their guns shortened that liny .may
conceal tli m under their blankets; and
when the war chiof is making his speech,
and draws forth his peace bolt of wain
' pum and presents it to tho great captain,
(lieu they will lull upon him aud his
men.' u r»
'I neyer doubted the sincerity of your
friend hip for tLe whitos, and this noble
instance of faithfuluess confi.ms it,' ad
ded Gladwin with much feeling. 'I cau
ouly repeat my thanks tor Ihe important
Service you have rendered me. (Should
your poople ever discover that you hive 1
ever hinted this thing to me, I tremble
for your safety, you will have nothing,
ito hopo and everything to fear. Ido not
need lp say thatif you will roinain wi'h
us your happiness and well boing will be
my care, aud if you go my good wishes
will go vy.illi you,
'I will go,'said Minnis briefly; aud
after a few more questions ou Utt*i»vl
of (he M*i >r, sbe was conducted wi'bou't
tho fort and tho gates securely closed.
After iinparliug Ibis important discov
ery to his officers and men, the oomuaui
der immediately began to make prepara
tions for defense. Jle repeated as much
of the plot as he thought necessary to
Iht'gN'risoo, and then instructed -them
bow toad at the approaching ojuncil.
Us also seul messeu; erj to all the tra
ders iu tho viciiuty of tlie fort, with di
rection* to.be on their guard.
It was most forlunafis that bo had been
apprised of the treacherous plot SJOU
euougli to Allow bim a nplo lime for
preparatious, for the luJiau girl had ad->
ded as she lett his preseuce, that while
the council was siaiu#, many ot the
warriors would assemble in the fort,
armed alike, on the pretcuoo of trading.
Pwug'lor^tyari).ed' Ihey could
aruied,' and this oould be preveutod.
AitUough Muj >r Uladwin had no ar
ticular fears for Ihe result yet gic
morning dawned , aud he
his eyes toward the
ment be looked i'l at caso. In faq£ every
countenance wore a different aspect, aud
l|licasliiess ol miitd was plaluly vihiblo iu
the hurried step and ncrvoiis glances:
though it bad be«u decided that lliey were
to inuni tost no suspicion iu the presence
.7* a ?*l#iiiß.-
Ton o'clock bad been agreed upon as
the hour lor the council sud as the hands
upon the dial indicated its nenruesr,every
oye was turned in tho direciiou of Ibe
Indian neighborhood. Punctual to the
time, Pontiac with his thirty six cldcls
and a long tralu ot warriors made their
api>earauce. Gladwin received them
with his usual urbauilv, aud when a
stipulated number had eutered tbo gales
were closed.
Poutiae seemed somewhat surprised
at perceiving Ibe troops under arms, aud
keenly scruriuizi>d them, looking as the
comuiaudaut thought slightly disappoint
ed.
'Why d'>es the big captain mske such
paiade?' asked the chief of G adwin. 'I
came to talk aud smoke, not to fight with
my white brothers.*
'Certainly, certainly/ answered the
Major blandly. 'But the great chief
knowa that the men must be exorcised
iu time ol peaoe as welt as of wsr.
Poutiae bowed gravely, seeming sails*
fied with the answer; the major's frank
demeanor left no room for suspicion.
After the customary ceremonies Pontiac
commenced his speech, aud after a long
tirade, highly complimenting the whiles,
and hoping for a continuauce of their
friendship, bo lowered bis band to give
the designated of drawing
forth the bell ot wampum.
At that instant the chief looked up and
discovered Ihe msjor aud his attendants
in the act of drawing their swords from
their scabbards, while tbe troops, clench/
lug lheir guns with firmues, and assum
ing attidmies of defense, sasured bim
that his well laid plot was suspected, il
not eatirely understood. With all bis
brsvery the chieftaiu became confused,
while every Indian showed unmistakable
signs of sstonisbmeui.
Finding the scbeinii brought to light,
aud wishing to avoid an opeu discovery,
( the ceremony of passing the belt was
ornhted, aud Pontiac dosed hU speech
with many professions of friouJslup for

The commandant arose to replf-. 1 He

The cliiel, iiutv that he li*d regained
