THE SETTLER’S STRATEGEM. BY CLINTON MONTAGUS. Mark Stanton was one of those hardy pioneers who, in the early settlement of the country, moved from the more thickly settled seaboard and pitched his cabin in the valley of the Saco, far away from the seats of civilization. His nearest neighbor lived at a distance of two miles, near the western border of Lovewetls Pond. A wife and one child accompanied him into the wilderness. The Indians at this period were peculiarly troublesome. Fungus indeed was dead—the great Sagamore whose name had been a source of terror for years, to even distant settlements; but the remnant of his tribe still made their home upon the broad meadow of the Saco aud among the adjacent hills. Unable to make any large or connected attacks upon the invading whites, the red men contented themselves with pillage and theft and other annoyances. Against these numerous depredations the settlers bad no adequate means of defense, and if they found their fowls, swine or cows missing, they had to submit to the loss as best they might. Stanton had lieen a victim to these depredations on several occasions, but bad attempted no retaliation. The chief leaders of the savages in these plundering inroads were two braves noted for their strength and ferocity, named Mattampa and Kalarna. On more than one occasion these warriors had even burned cabins and scalped the owners, and the settler deemed himself fortunate that no such injuries bad been offered him.

One September day Mark found it necessary to visit his neighbor Drover's to obtain a few supplies that they stood in need of. So kissing the four-year-old daughter, and bidding his wife to guard carefully agaiust any attack of the Indians, the settler took his rifle and departed for the settlement. His stay was protracted to a later hour than he had anticipated, and it was nearly sundown when he set out on his return. He hurried his steps almost to a run as he thought of the anxiety that would be his wife's at his prolonged absence. Yet in his haste he neglected not to use both eyes and ears; for the settler was a true hunter, aud had more thau once saved his life by his craft and forest lore. When ’about half the intervening dis fence had been passed, Stanton heard : noise that made him pause. It sounded like the cry of a child, and it was not [far from his path. He listened in suspense and again heard the cry repeated. This time he recognized the voiee as that of his own child, his darling Annie, whom he had last seen in her mother’s arms at home. The cry was one of entreaty, of terror, too, and Stanton’s heart beat loudly at the thought of the girl s danger. He guessed instinctively what had happened. The Indians had visited his home during his absenceaud accomplished their fell purpose. As soon as the first shock of horror was passed be was nerved to action. Bending his ear to the ground he plainly heard the jar of footsteps, but he was surprised to discover that there was but a single savage. Quickly, but cautiously, he crept through the bushes, and finally got a glimpse of the red man, at a little distance, hurrying through the deep wood. The Indian was tall aud powerful, and he bore the light form under his arms as though it had been a mere feather’s weight. The little tbiug had ceased to struggle, for one of the great red hands was pressed hard over her mouth, »nd she seemed nearly exhausted. It took Mark Stanton but a moment to conclude what to do. He did not dare to rush upon the savage aud attempt to beat him down, for he knew that if the red man was alarmed before he reached him the life of tbe child would be sacrificed. On the other hand, if he trusted to his rifle, there was a bare possibility that the girl might be injured, but it was far the better coarse. Hurrying cautiously forward until he reached a favorable point, he raised liis trusty weapon to his shoulder. Leveling it full at the center of the red man’s head, he took a careful aim and pulled the trigger. The next moment a sharp report rang through tbe forest.

Without waiting tor the smoke to clear away, Stanton.rushed forward and found the savage just gasping in bis death struggle, while little Annie lay screaming by his side. He soon pacified the child, who he found was uninjured. Then he reloaded his rifle and made a hasty examination of the lidleu Indian. The settler did not recognize him, but from his dress and ornaments l»e judged he was a w arrior ol some note; Leaving him where he had fallen, Stanton took his child in his arms and wended his way homeward. It was quite dusk when he reached there, and he found his wife waiting for him nearly crazed with grief. The mother's strength returned when she saw her child, and after the congratulations of the hour. Mrs. Stanton told her story. She had left Annie sleeping in her bed, and went out to milk the cow. When she returned the child was missing. She bad immediately begun a search but without avail, aud was fast approaching hysterics when her husband returned. She now urged an immediate flight to the Pond, and Stanton promised to aeeede to her wishes as soon as their ripening crops were harvested. The following morning the settler went to the place where he bad left the dead Indian, with the intention of burying him : but he fpund that the body had lieeu earned away. There were heavy tracks about the spot, and Stanton readily conjectured that tome of the warrior’s friends had effected the removal. With this conclusion he retraced his steps, determined to keep his eyes open aud his rifle ready. The second morning afterwards as Mark Stanton stepped from bis cabin he saw something lying upon the door-stone. He stooped and picked it up, and saw that it was an arrow, with the skin of a rattlesnake around abonfit He knew what the fatal signal meant at once. The mau who left that snake-bound shaft at Lis door had rworu to kill has. The settler was a brave man. bnt this stern significant token affected him as the presence of the avenger himself would have not. At first he thought he would sot tell his w ife, but on reflection, he con eluded it would be better to let her into the secret. It would be better for her and better for him. for a constaut watch must now be maintained. Mrs. Stauton's first impulse, as soon as she understood what her husband told her, was to hasten to the settlement. ' “That would hardly be a safe undertaking,” returned the settler; “for my enemy | may be even now watching near the cot, and weqp we to start out 1 might get a bullet through my body.” The yonng wife was sorely frightened, but she saw the reasonableness of her husband's statement aud she urged her point no further. All that day they kept within doors, and during the night Stanton did not relinquish his watch. But no sigus ol Indians Were citable. On opening the door in the morning, however, the settler saw another snow laying near the door-step. To this one a roll ol birch bark was attached. Carrying it into the house, he unroiled the bark aud found it embellished with a rude drawing. It was not difficult to make out what was intended to be conveyed. In one corner of the segment was the picture of a dead Indian, and from the hieroglyphics underneath. Stanton gathered tha fact that it was meant for MattamP* one of the noted braves of the Peqnaket tribe, beyond him wee another brave, with drawn in his hand and arrow speeding from it. Vnder this one was the vwmo ot Kalama. THe tkUd tiKiire repwh te mau with pierc-

The settler's anxiety was not materially decreased by the knowledge that his foeman was one of these distinguished braves. He knew he had to deal with one of the most crafty aud relentless savages of that region, and he knew enough of the Indian's character to know that he would not swerve from his revengeful plan until he had performed the deed or fallen in the conflict. “What shall we do? What shall we do?” cried Mrs. Stanton, shielding Annie in her arms. “We may be surrounded by enemies at this moment.’’ “That is not probable,’’ said her husband. “Kalarna is too much of a brave to suffer that. I have slain his brother, and lie alone will seek revenge. He has given ue fair warning, and now he will hang around my path till be accomplishes his fell purpose, unless I can contrive to eircumvent him. He thinks he bus put me >n tbe rack, and his next step will be to put a rifle ball through my heart. But he will work in the dark.’’ “Could I not go to tbe settlement and inform them of your danger?” asked the heroic wife, brave now that she knew what tbe danger was that was to be met. Stanton shook his head dubiously. "You would not be permitted to do that,’’ he answered. “Besides, I would not have you undergo such a risk." The situation was truly a perplexing one. The stout settler was imprisoned in his own cabin as surely as though he had been within the walls of a dungeon The avenger was already ou his track, and might be even then hidden in the greenwood. He felt confident that should he step one foot out of doors his body would be the mark for a bullet. In the middle of tbe afternoon Mrs. Stanton opened the back door aud went out to get a pail of water. The spring was situated a few iflds from the cabin, neat a thicket of trees and bushes. As she stooped to dip the water she saw the painted visage of an Indian glaring at her through some whitewood bushes. Though trembling with fear she did not betray a sign that she bad observed him and liore her burden with seeming carelessness into the house. Once within she sat down pale and trembling. “I have seen an Indian,” said she, in reply to her husband's questioning. “He is hid in the clump of white woods by the spring. Oh, you will be killed! Mark, you will lie killed !" Stanton stepped to one of the small loopholes between the logs and looked sharply out. The bushes in question were not over ten rods from the door. He could see no Indian there, but he knew it was a place where an Indian might hide, and he did not doubt his wife’s eyesight. Kalarua was probably there waiting for bis appearance. The settler’s craft did not desert him. He felt easier to know that his enemy was near him. for he could make his plans accordingly. He knew his enemy’s position, and that knowledge placed him, as it were, on something like an equality' with him. “Mary,’ said he to his wife, "I am going to kill that Indian. ’’

"What are you going to do?” she cried in agony of pain and suspense. “The moment you step a foot outside the door you will be shot.’’ "Os course, if I go out I am sure to get killed ; but suppose something should go out that only looked like me, what then ?” lye asked. "What do you mean, Mark?” and Mrs Stanton gazed into her husband s face »s if to comprehend his meaning. "I mean that we will send out u man of straw to draw the euemie's fire. After that it will be my turn at the rifle. Now io you understand ?” The wife said she thought she did. "Then let us go to work as quickly as possible, before the Indian changes his lurking plaec" Stanton s plan was clear now. and they proceeded to speedily carry it into execution. The settler doffed liis clothes, which they stuffed with bedding. A proper looking head was fashioned from a pillow, on one side of which was tacked a piece of bearskin to represent hair. Upon this was placed a hat, and when all was completed it formed as respectable a looking effigy as could be gotten up; indeed, so excellent was the likeness that the good wife declared that, had she seen it for the first time in tbe woods, she should not have known it from her husband. In order to perfectly carry out the settler’s plan a broom handle was fixed to the effigy, under the right arm, so that it could lie held in an upright position. Mrs. Stanton then practiced upon it until she could move it about * if it had life. When all was ready the settler took his station at the loophole which looked towirds the cover of the Indian. He had already liis rifle in readiness, and as soon as the muzzle of tbe piece was in its place, and be was sure of his aim, he gave the signal to bis wife. She opened the door very slowly, and carefully lifted the image out over the threshold upon the stone, holding it there

steadily. At the same moment Stanton raw a human head lifted cautiously above l lie white wood bushes. The eagle feaures aud the paiuted countenance told i bat it was an Indian brave. The settler instantly covered the right eye of the red man wutli the sight of his ride. The redskin discharged his rifle at the same instant with the white man, so that both reports were simultaneous A loud leath yell told the result of the settler's hot, and Stanton saw his red foenian leap into the air and fall to the ground. The Indian's aim had been no less certain, for on examining the effigy they found a bullet bole just where the heart would have lain iu a human bosom. After awhile Mark .Stanton went out to the white wood bushes. He found the vengeful Kalarna stone dead. A bullet hail passed into his right eye through the brain. I’he red man had fought his last battle. He buried the dead body at a distance, ind removed as well as he could all traces of the conflict, then for two or three days kept a careful watch. But he was not molested. The attempt upon his life had ueen planned by Kalarna alone, and tbe leath of the redoubtable warrior was not traced to his hands. Tbe sturdy pioneer lived there many years and’ prospered Grandchildren grew ap around him, to whom the adventures >f their grandsire were as interesting as airy tales. But there was ••• story they lever heard without a tremor, and that was lie hunter’s strategem when he slew tbe iataous Pequaket. Astronomy is a beautiful science. We ue told that if a railway was to run from the earth to the nearest fixed star, and the ■are was one penny for every hundred miles, and if you were to take a mass of zold to the ticket-office equal to twice the lational debt—or $3.800,000.000—it would tot be sufficient to pay for a ticket to the .learest fixed star aforesaid. If this Ire the •use, it matters very 1 ttle to us whether -meh a railway is ever constructed. It would be discouraging to go to the tieket>ffice with a mass of gold equal to $3,800.>OO,OOO. and be informed that the fare was 5.678,032,000. If the ticket agent wouldn't rust until we get back, we’d Ire compelled ■r forego the trip. — Norriftmm Herald. “Fiߣ Away, Flanagan.—Cromwell bavingTnardied his army southward, came to a castle garrisoned by some rebels, under command of a Flanagan, who sent 1 romvvell a violent philippic, ending with m order to quit the place, or lie would i pen his cannon on the English forces, t'romwell returned tbe note, w ith his rc- , ly written in the coiner of the missive : "Fire away, Flanagan.” The laconic reply so frightened the redoubtable Flanagan that he fled without firing a shot.

How They Meet and I’art A gentleman lately took down verbatim the conversation of two fashionable ladies during a morning call viz : How do you do, dear?” “Pretty well, thank you.” (They kiss.) “How have you been this age ?” Pretty well How have you been?’’ “Very well, thank you.” "Pleasant to-day.” “Yes, very bright, but had a shower yesterday.” “All your family quite well?” “Quite well, thanks. How is yours?” “Oh, very well thank you.” "Have you seen Mary B. lately? ’ "No, but I have seen Susan C. “Y ou don t say so! is she quite well?" “Yes, very well, I believe.’’ (Rising.) “Must you go?” “Yes. indeed'; 1 have seven calls to make.” “Do call again soon.” “Thank you ; but you don't come near me once in age. ’ "Oh, you shouldn't say so, dear; I m sure I m very good. "Good bye. —"Good bye, dear ” — £xchangt. “Gale Forest gives the following pat reply to the above: “Yes! and after writing that the gentleman discovered the strain upon his mental faculties had been so severe, he went out to “brace up.” Just as he reached hit destination, met a frieud from out of town, when the following conversation was overheard and taken down by the writer, as an example for women, of men s “wit and wisdom.’’ “Hellow! old fellow, how are you?” (They shake) "First rate, how are vou?’“Tip-top!” “When dy’e get in? “Just now." “Have something?” significantly.) “Well —yes, don’t care-fi-do i They step into a saloon, after cautiously looking around, to make sure no outsiders ire about, to see they are breaking thei. pledge-pause—they emerge, innocently wiping their mouths, before putting into them their lighted cigars, and being primed,” resumed:) “How's yer folks?"

How to Beaut if;' a Home. Almost everybody knows what a relief to the eyes a little spray ot green is iu the winter. The wealthy can indulge iu expensive conservatories, but thi.se iu moderate circumstances, even the very poor, can secure a pretty object at a small expense by following the directions given. To begin with, an acorn, which any little urchin can procure iu the woods, and a pickle jar, which any housekeeper can supply. Procure a fine healthy acorn, aud rochet around it a little network case. I’ake off the cup first and leave a loop of he cotton to hang the acorn point downward in tbe glass. The glass must have so much water in it that the tip of the acorn scarcely touches; keep it in a dark closet until it has sprouted, aud then put it in tbe light. A chestnut thus kept in water will sprout tbe same way. A sweet potato will grow luxuriantly, aud may be trained around walls and picture frames. A carrot grown in saud is, it well managed, a highlv ornamental object. A good sized and healthy root must be selected. Cut off quite evenly the top of the carrot aud place it on top of a pot full of sand, so that the leaves look as if they spring from it. Moisten it well and keep it in the dark until it has begun to sprout; be ■arcful to keep it damp, aud move it into he light directly the leaves appear. If he cultivation is successful, an ornament pretty enough for auy room will be the result, and which will have to the unacquainted tlie appearance of a l>ot of ferns. Another exiierimeut may be mr.de with a turnip, which must lie as sound as possible. Clean tbe outside, taking care not to injure the part from whence the leaves spring. Cut a piece of the bottom and scoop out the inside, so that you have a a hollow cap; fasten string or wire to it, so that it can be hung up. Fill the cavity and keep it filled with water. In a short time the leaves will begin to sprout, end will curl up around tbe ball ol the turnip, forming a pretty little hanging basket. Children can lie made to interest themselves in such experiments, which will be found au easy method of inflating taste and refinement; besides, each and all point out tlieir own botanical lesson, and much is to lie learned by careful aud patient observation and experiment Long visits, long stories, long essays, long exhortations, aud long prayers, seldom profit those who have todo with them. Life is short. Time is short. Moments are precious. Learn to condense, abridge, and intensify. We can bear things that are dull if they are only short. Wc can endure many an ache and ill if it is over soon, while even pleasures grow insipid, and pain intolerable, if they be protracted beyond the limits ot reason and convenience. Learn io be short. Lop off branch, es; stick to the main facts in your case. If you pray, ask for what you would receive, and get through ; if you speak, tell your message aud hold your peace ; boil down two words into one, and three into two. Always learn to be short. ♦ 1 “Mamie," said he. and his voiee was singularly low, “will you be my wife? Will vou cling to me as the tender vine clings to the —" “Yes, I catch on." said she.

We feel positive that every man can have perfect success in every case it he will only use good common sense iu applying Kendall’s Spavin Cure, and preserve in bad cases of long standing Read below the experience of others. FROM COL. L. T. FOSTER. Youngstown, 0., May 10. 1880. Da- B. J. Kendall & Co., Gents.—l had a very valuable Hambletonian coll which 1 prised very highly, be had a large bone spavin on one joint and a smaller one on the othei which made him very lame 1 bad him under the charge of two Veterinary Surgeons which failed to cure him I was one day reading the advertisement of Kendall's Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, I determined at once to try it and got our Druggist here to send for it, they ordered three bottles; I took them all and thought I would give it a thorough trial, I used it according to directionsand by the fourth day the colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps had entirely disappeared. I used but one bottle and the colts limbs are as free from lumps and as smooth as any horse In the Slate. He is entirely cured. The cure was so remarkable that 1 let two of mv neighbors have the remaining two bottlels who are now using it. Very «. pecstfuly,, L. T FOSTER. Penw-veranee Will Tell. Stoughton, Mass., March 16, 1880 B. J. Kendall A Co., Gents—ln justice to you and myself, 1 think I ought to let you know that I have removed two boat spavins with Kendall's Spavin Cure, one very large one, don’t know how long the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here, but if it does for all what iihas done for ne its sale will be very great. Respectfully yours, CHAS E PARKER. KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE. Acme, Mich, Deo 28, 1879. Dr B J Kendall X Co. Gents:—l sent you one dollar for your Kendall e Spavin Cure last summer which cured a bone spavin with half a bettie. The best liniment 1 ever used. Touts respectfully, HOMER HOXIE. From Rev P. Presiding Elder of the St Albans Dsstrict. St Albans, Vt, Jan 20, 1880. Dr B J Kendall & Cb, Gents:—ln replj to your letter I will say that my experience with Kendalls Spivin Cure has been very latisfoctory indeed- Three or four years ego I procured a fettle of your agent, an 1 with it cured a horse of lamemss caused oy a spavin. Last season my horse became ame and I turned nim out fora few’ weeks shen he became better, but when I put lim on the road he grew worse, when I liscovered that a ringbone was forming, I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spaviu Cure ind with less than a bottle eured him so hat he is not lame, neither can the bunch >• found. Respectfully yours, P N GRANGER. Statement Made Under Oath. To whom it may concern—ln the year .875 I treated with Ken tail s Spavin Cure, i bone spavin of several months growth, learly half as large as a hens egg, and lompletely stopped the lameness and renoved the enlargement. 1 have worked he horse ever since very hard, and never las been lame, nor could I ever see any inference in the site of the hock joints unce I treated him with Kendall’s Spavin Jure. R A GAINES. Enosburgh Falls, Vt, Feb 25, 1879. Sworn and subscribed to before me this !sth day of February A D 1879. JOHN G JENNE, Justice of Pe&oe.

( B J Kendall, MD, Dear Sir:—The particular case on which I used your Rendell's Spavin Cure was a malignant ankle sprain of sixteen months standing. 1 had tried many things. Out in vain. Your “Kendall Spavin Cure" put the foot to the ground again, and, for the first time since hurt, in a natural position.

B J Kendall & Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, “Kendall's Spavin Cure.” In the spring of 1872 1 slipped on the ice aud sprained my right limb at the knee joint 1 was very lame and st times suffered the most excruciating pain. I wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 1 began to think I should b" a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall s Spavin Cure” thought I would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. Thep»in left me an 1 has not troubled me since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend Kendal! s Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Boutbll.

The seven wonders of the world, in an- | rient times, were the pyramids of Egypt, the Pharos of Alexandria, the walls and hanging gardens of Babylon, the temple jf Diana, the statue-of the Olympic Jupiter, the Mausoleum of Artemesia, and the Colossus of Rhodes. The seven wonders of the world in modern times are the printing press, the steam engine, the telegraph, the daguerreotype, the telephone, the phonograph, and the electric light. The so-called “Seven Wonders' of the incients were mere trifles compared with j those of the present time. The Brooklyn bridge, for example, would make the hanging gardens of Babylon a mere toy, while the whole seven wonders pul together would sink into insignificance could the builders have seen a lightning express train at full speed.
