S nggestcd by readin; a newspaper paragraph describing (ho scene between the brave old Ethtn Allen and his daughter on ihe occasion of her dentil, when she asked the stern fufidel in "whose faith he would have her to diu -his or her moth er's : ' "The damps of death are coming fst My father, o'er my brow ; , -- The past with all its scenes has flod, And I most tarn me now To that dim future which in vain .

"I wed thee, bittle'a eye. , Amid the mailed and stalwart throng ; And answered to thy banner cry, As it bad been a lover's song." It was a clear moonlight night of au tumn, in 1724 : and the old garrison house of the valiant Captain Wheel wright, the terror of all the Indians within twenty miles of the town of Wells, was brilliantly illuminated for the wedding of the veteran s daughter, to a young and gallant ranger, belong ing to the band of Captain Harmon. The house was crowded with guests, principally military men ; for at that period every man was a soldier, and ev ery woman, if - she could not merit that appellation, was at least worthy of be ing a soldiers wife. " ' - . It was a grand time that wed ding ! There was an abundance of maple sugar and - pumpkin pies and all the young ladies within thirty miles had assembled to partake of the festivi ties of the occasion ; the dance went nimbly'down the rude hall? and every one seemed desirous of adding some thing to the general expression of merri ment and joy. Yet there were watchful eyes and anxious hearts amidst that Joyous as sembly. At every sound .without the sudden bark of a dog, or the creaking of the large old trees in the Autumn wind, a thrill like that of electricity passed through the throng of revellers: More than once had the hands of the rangers instinctively fastened on their rifles, which leaned ready for an instant execution in every corner of the build ing. , It was known to all that the Eas tern savages were in motion ;: that , the implacable ' hate of the - red -man was brooding like a thunder-cloud s over the encroaching advance of the English t he inhabitants ot Wells had not in deed suffered recently from the attacks of their subtle enemy ; .but they felt no - r - i p r security irom me vengeance 01 ioes, who were unappeasable in their resent ments : -and whose transient lorbear ance, like the couch of the panther, or the coil of the rattlesnake, might be on Iv the preparation for a sudden and deadly blow. But the wedding went on without in terruption. The beautiful Emily Wheel wright stood with her young lover be fore the venerated clergyman; She was a fine specimen of natural beauty ; her dark hair fell carelessly and richly up on net neck : her full cheek clewed with the freshness of- health and '-. the free waist and : unconnned form, gave to her motions elasticity and a graceful ness, to which - the modern victim of fashion is an entire' stranger. And the bridegroom in the strength and vigor of his youth, witn his sunburnt counte nance and manly proportions, presented a striking: contrast to the fashionable exquisite of modern days. ' " The rites were concluded ; and Chas. Han well "had fust imprinted on the bushing cheek of his bride, the cere monial kiss, . when a terrific .cry - from without rang through every nook of the mansion. AH sprang" on their feet at the fearful alarm. The" next instant the report of rifles came sharply on their ears. - To arms ! J he Indians arc upon us v shouted Captain Wheelwright, snatching his musket from the hooks by which it was suspended, . There was a sudden rush towards the door, The moon shone full upon the wild scenery around but there were no visible traces of an enemy. At length a solitary figure made its appear ance at a remote corner of the building. Helpl for Gods sake ! said a well known voice 'I am wouuded the bloody red skins are abroad.' The wounded man staggered slowly towards the half-bewildered group. At that instant a rifle flash gleamed from J the nearest .thicker. The aim was a I fatal one, (or its unfortunate object, who 1 had nearly reached his comrades, sprang f suddenly and 'convulsively from the earth -and fell dead at their feel. The exulting whoop of an invisible foe was drowned in the report of the muskets of the white men, which were nowdirect ed at every bush and thicket. To your horses men !n exclaimed Capt. Harmon, as iho dusky forms of the enemy became visibtej at a distance which was beyond the certain aim of his rangers. Charles Hauyell turned anxiouslylo his bride f she was deadly pale rshe did not join in the cries and tears of thore around her but she sat stiil and .white as a statute. ' Do not be alarmedf said ChaTles affectionately pressing her hanJ. iThe savagts- will not molest us after one vigororls . attack from our rifles J and there is little dan ger to be apprehended, Be quiet, ' we shall return imnlediately.' J The spiiit of her father was strong within the heart of Emily. 4Go Charles f he said, andfmay God preserve you !' A pa rty had already -mounted and the trample of hoofs was ringing without. Charles sprang to his saddle; and in a moment the band to Which he belongeJ disappeared in the shadows of the sur rounding woodlands. Captain Wheel wright undertook to garrison his dwel ling with the remainder of the company. It would be impossible to describe the anxiety with which the wedding guests listened to every sound which came fiom the direction which the' rangers had taken The trampling of their horses gradually died away f then the sound ot fire arms was heard ; and ev er and anon, the shrill and terrible war cry of the savages, rose fearfully on the wind. . . - ' . . The heavy tread of the horses soon announced the return of the adventu rers. They wheeled into the rude in- closure : and the next moment Harmon confronted the agitated assembly The vile heathen F he muttered between bis clenced teeth and turrring to the bride, who sat trembling with anxiety, he said aloud Your husband is amontr the missing ! : It has been a horrid nigh work r and he threw himseii into a chair apparently exhausted by his ex ertions. . .. - , . .j.,, i ' Is he dead V ejaculated Emily Han well, springing up au'd grasping convul- siveiy me naua oi ino? soiaier. ';i en me Captain Harmon, a5 you hope, for mercy, tell me, is he dead V 'Your husband is a -prisoner,' said! Harmon, ( but be fought desperately be fore he yielded. He was overpowered With numbers : and we were . unable to effect his rescue. There was a fear ful skirmish ; Jot the Indians were twice our number. I hey have lost many ot their bravest ; warriors, and some of my own little troop are how lying cold and stark beneath the moonlight.' ' And you have left your comrade to perish by the foul ; tortures of his ; ene mies !' saidEmily Han well, her tone of entreary changing to that of indignation - To die, by the fire and the scourge, without so much as a wouna receivea in his defence ! , Would to heaven thafl the powers of a man were nine !' T She trembled in every limk and ner tears fell fasC Tb , countenance of Harmbnj worked for a moment whb resentment but he ovreame the feelrnff, aud tuminflf' tQ his companions., he avowed hit;, resolution, of pursoiogf th retreating foij and attempting once more tria reacue of their "prisohet? The party immediatelytacquie3ced.- several new recruits Volunteered their services, and in a few moments a second sally was made from the mansion. . It boots not now to relate the particulars of the rescue; suffice it to say, that the foe was overtaken. and that in the struggle which ensued, the prisoner was liberated, The party immediately relumed to the house of the veteran Whe'el-wnghf. His daughter met them at the door; and after one long embrace of her husband, she clasped wiih heartfelt gratitude, the rough and war-won hand of Harmon; and : from that moment he was regarded as a brother by Charles Han well and his bride. A MANIFESTATION OW STUBBORN ESS. On the Reading Turnpikes, just this side of the St. George's Brewery, within the corporate limits, there is a very bad spot in the road. For some distance there is just room enough for a wagon to pass over. Go to either side of that and you plunge into holes. About six o'slock, evening be fore last, a stone wagon and a buggy, going in opposite direcitots, met in this part, of road.. -. - ;. ,;y-...v,"V"i;:v ."Turn off," said the owner of tfie buggy, r 'I won't do it, replied the stone-hauler. "My wagon is very heavily loaded, and if 1 was once to get the vehicle into those holes, I could never get it out." "Your wagon is stout and can stand the rubs,' said the man in th buggy. "Drive out of the way and let me pass.' "1 won't do it," responded the teamster. "I shall wait until you go by." -So shall I," said the man in the buggy. The dispute by this time attracted quite a crowd, who were mnch n mused at the Stubborness of tbe two. Tha teamster was invited to a beer-house to take a drink, and accepted the invitation,the owner of the bug gy was befriended with a newspaper, and throwing himself back endeavorod to be guile away the hours as pleasantly as pos sible? Both declare their determination not to drive off the smooth part of the road. Seven o'clock came, and both vehicles were still there. The teamster had drank several glasses of beer, and tbe occupant of the buggy had devoueJ the contents of two rr ihreenewsr)apers. Eight o'clock came, nnd they were in the same position, as stubborn as ever. The teamster, how ever; grew jinpattenf, his horses were tired and hungry, yet he did not want to knock under. At last a. lucky thoflght struck him-. He proceeded to the road, unhitched bis horses", and rode home, leaving his wag on standing in the road. The owner of the buggy was completely "ontenerald.rt He had to give- way or remain tn the road nil nigbt. ljr.rin tne teamster a fteiirty curse, ho drove his buggy over the hazardous part of the road, ami , started homeward. a very'rnad-individual. ; Cincinnati Commercial.
