'HIE DAY OF DOOM. -ORThe Border’s Peril. BY JAMES FRANKLIN FITTS. In the early days of the settlement of \ f stern New \ «>rk —in fact, when fccnrc*s- - half a dozen white men had located themselves in the vast forest region between the G.-nesee and the Niagara, a «tqrdy pioneer had huilt his cabin and settled i his family upon the left bank o' the former stream The name of this min was Matthew Hylton, and he w«s, in truth well fitted to cope with the wiUerpess and its treacherous inhabitants. He was of the middle age, 'all and muscular in form . and of a rough exerior; yet his stern and bronz-d features were by no means repulsive, and in the very gravity and thougl.t- --! fulness of his face there was somethirer that gave assurance of the natural kindli- ' ness of his Imart. The family of the pioneer consisted of ! but two persons besides himself: his wife and a daughter of almost mature years.— i Lvdia Hvlton was a beautiful being; the i fairest flower that blossomed upon the | banks of the lovely Genesse. She seemed. in truth, too fair to be so rqdelv trapj splanted from the haunts of civilization jto the unbroken wilderness; but her lot j was cast with the parents whom she lov;ed, and no urgent solicitation had been . sufficient to induce her to remain in her I eastern home after her father had decided to emigrate to the wilds ol the West. After the settlement had been effected, the first summer of the pioneer family was passed in peace an.l happiness. If at first Matthew Hylton had looked forward forebodingly to troublous days with the | Indians, the tranquility with which each I successive day visited his cabin, speedily I dissipated such fears from his mind — ■ E ich morning his wife and daughter saw , him shoulder his axe and enter the forest beyond their little clearing, with manifest (Concern tot his safely; but as each sunset ’ saw his safe return, they easily dismissed, . all fear from their hearts, j ‘I can not. account for this strange state 'of things.’ Matthew Hylton remarked, as he entered his cabin at the close of a dav jin the following spring. ‘Almost a yeai • has p issed since we came to this spot, and thus far I have seen hardly a red face.— I am sorely 'roubled to account for it.’ •I hope this state of affairs may always continue,’ his wife r< joined ‘Av, it one could only be sure of tlir.t; but. I am troubled lest this strange silence |of the red skins should mean mischief. I wel) know their nature, and 1 am nrepar- ; ed to say that but for some powerful tno- , live, we should long ere now have received a visit from them, either hostile or frii-n---idly. A short time, I think, must deteri mine their deign in regard to u«.’ ’But. sun ly, von have n<> cause to think them hostile?’ Mrs. Hylton asked, in alarm Matthew Hvlton shook his head doubtfully. an 1 remained silent for a short time. ‘I know not what to think, as I have before said,’ he at last replied. ‘From the pains ’hey have evidently taken to avoid us, I am inclined to think they act under the express commands of one of their powerful chiefs. What their ultimate objects are, time alone can show.— We know, however, that they can have no o’her cause for hostility than the gen- ' i oral jealousy with which they almost in-! variably regard new comers., This conversation had the effect of r P . awakening the fears of Matthew Hvl’oni and his family, and the fr.llowing night j was spent in sleepless watchfulness NoI thing occured, however to jdvr the •Hv-lit - , est color to any suspicions they m’V have 1 (formed; although the forest, around ihrmi might have been filled with, hostile sava-1 ges. their watchfiil and anyion- eves failed to detect the slightest indication of the, fact ‘We must try to banish these fears.’ ! Matthew Hvlton said, as morning at last broke and found them still wakeful. ‘lf any danger lies before us. there i« no ad di’ional preparation we nan make, and until i’ does readl.v come, let n« comfort ourselves with the thought that we have let our fears get the better of nut reason j -H we could only beleive it!’ Mrs. Hyl-i ton sighed. ‘Ah, bit’ we must believe it! What need is there nf borrowing trnnble. when , in reali’V. no danger ex! o *'? Let. US he 1 brave, and dismiss these sil’y fears from our bear’s.’ •Matthew Hrl’nn uttered these words in a ’one of forced gaye.’v and kissing 1 his daughter, strode cheerlr in’o’he for- 1 P st. where through the whole day the 1 slrnrn ring of his axe roused the slumber- ' incr prhops. ’ name at W, and the pioneer ' i eeasnd his labors, an J prepar- dto re’U.li ' : to the srxien. wa’chers at tho <” b,n ( Res’inw himself for « n’^ pnf I > to the su’qoet which was nnw jarely «h -‘; his mind—the safety ofbtmse.lf and his family

If I were bvtsure,’ he uttered, tnip- , ingly,’ that thsae cunning savage taean ' me no harm, 1 should— A hand was at that instant laid upon I his shoulder, and starting from his sent I C he saw with astonishment and dismay the : . majestic figure of an Indian chief behind I him. Ihe intruding anil unwe.lcom° si|v- . age was dressed out in all the adornments of pains, eagle feathers and moccasins, I ] while the mystic devices wroqght upon his . leggins end blanket showed him to be one . ol the chiefs of the Six Nations, whose , , hunting grounds it will be rememb. rmi, I occupied al this time tile whole of Wes- S , C leru New York. ( Rallying his faculties in a moment, and I under the impression that eminent danger ' was at, hand, Mathew Hylton stepped . ; Dapk aqd resolutely brandished Lis axe; i but he immediately pt-rct-iyed tliat his] visitor had no other than kindly inten- ; tions. she Indian threw open his blan- ■ ‘ kets to show that he had no concealed weapons, and then advancing, proffered ; his hand, with the words, spoken in intelligible English: ‘White hunter. Ictus be friends!’ The agreeable surprise of H'dion upon hearing these wprds, may well be imagined, but he hastened to extend his hand to his savuge friend, with -he reply; ‘bo be it, red man; we will be friends, Mathew Hylton never yet lifted a weapon j against one of your race, but in self-de-fen-e ’ 1 Php wllltP lllinfn** ennnLn z. 1 I

ine wnne hunter speaks well, Caiamuck knows the truth of his words. He : has watched him, and seen the truth ot his ways, and rej“ices to learn that his ; heart is inclined to peace. Does life red , ' man judge rightly?’ He does,’ Hvlton replied, adopting the Indian s peculiar manner of speech. Let there be no enmity between us; the red man and the whiteman shall live to- ! gether in peace. ’ With a nod of assent, the cheif turned j and pointed towards Hylton’s cabin, the smoke ot which could be discerned through ' ■ the trees. I 'Will my white brother take me Io his . wigwam?’ he asked. 'Remember—CalI muck is now his friend.’ Matthew Hylton unhesitatingly com- . plied with this request, and together the two moved across the clearing. Mrs. . Hylton started in fear and surprise as she saw her husband's dusky companion; hut ; a few whispered words from the pioneer served to < xplain the matter, and she en- : deavored to give the strange guest a cordial welcome. she chief refused the chair which MatI’hew Hvlton proffered him, and for a moment stood near the door, looking keenly ‘ I around the apartment. ‘The white hunter has a daughter,’ he (s-iid, abruptly. 'Calamuck would see her!’ Somewhat startled by this singular re-

i quest, Matthew Hylton was still unprepared to retuse; and turning Io his wile he ! said, in a hasty undertone: 'We must comply with his wishes; but ido not be alarmed; his designs are all peaceful. Ti ll Lydia to come hither; but first let her know whom we have here.’ Mrs Hylton entered the Qthe- room of the cabin, returning after a moment, lea- | ding forward her half-terrified, half-amu-sed daughter. The Indian chief regarded her silently, and with evident adtni- ; ration, concentrating liis gaze upon her j ’or so long a time that she involuntarjjy shuddered, as his dark, flashing eyes met I i hers. 'Let not the pale flower be frightened; ! ! Calamuck will nut li-arm her.’ he at last observed ‘The Pale Lily is lovely She I ■ is more beautiful than any of ’he maidens i who grace the lodges of ifcr Six Nations. I Calamuck has watched her many times : when she knew if not, and never has he beheld her But with love! The pale flow-

r jer must hlonm in the lodge of the Iro ’ qums chief !’ Lvdta Hvl'on cast a glace of fervor and entreaty towards her father. The latter stood motionless in mote astonishment at the audacity of the Indian’.* declaration Through the ambiguity of his words he plainly perceived the object of his visit, .and trembled in anticipation of the consequences which be well knew a refusal of ! the implied command might produce — But before be could utter > word, the chief turned to hirri and addressed him as follows: | ‘The white hunter would keep the friendship of the red ma,,?’ ‘Y r. but the Iroquois chief must— ’ ‘White hunter Stay!’ the c.hief stern! V intenupted. ‘Vyhen the whi'e hunter came hither, the warriors of Calamuck were angry; they would have driven him forth, or killed Mm had not the red chief threatened the first warrior who should rnnb st the white man w : ’b n shameyil death! The red men obeyed, and the white hunter has heen left unharmed, even while the Iroquois thnrsted for bis blood! Would the white hunter s'ifl he case in the home he h-as made for himself ? Let him give his Pale-Lily to be the bride ' of the bravest of the Iroquois, and no

I hand shall molest him! Cdamuek has jspoken; let the white hunter make his answer. j L I.is is Utile less than treachery I ‘Mat- - thew Hylton fiercely responded, while his • yes blazed indignantly. ‘Chief ol the Iroquois, your words are those of a Coward; no brave man wiiqld speak thus' My I daughter can never become the bride of I a red man—(east of all, of such a one as the wordsof Calamuck proclaim him to be. The anger -,f Hilton aroused a corres.jxmding emotion in the breast of the cheif -lulking to the door, he flung his hatchet i-jowu upon the threshold; the meaning ol pwhich significant act Matthew Hylton ‘•-a lily comprehended. ‘The white hunter has sealed his doom the chief sternly exclaimed. Calamuck sought to be his friend; let the white man now know and fear him as an enemy! — The Indian qhief shall speak but one word, ami the forest shall be filled with 1 howling Iroquois warriors! Mark mv words, white hunter, to morrow shall b» iduij of doom to those who dwell beneath this roof. One will be spared nothing shall keep the Pale Lily from the wigwam of Calamuck ’ With these fierce words the chief drew his blanket haughtily about him, and turning away, strode into the forest Matthew Hylton watched him until he could no longer be seen, and then turning to his trembling wife and daughter, he said, firmly: .mi ■ . ' -Li i ,

• fins terrible danger pan not be averted; but we must strive with all the means in our power to meet it firmly, and do what we can for our salvation. Let us spend 1)0 time in useless lamentation, but (prepare ourselves for the work of tomorrow.’ ‘But can we not escape?’ Mrs. Hvlton asked, in a tremulous tone, turning het eyes imploringly to her husband. ‘No; I grieve to say that it is impossible, but such is the fact! Too soon would (our blood-thirsty foes trail us, should we attempt to flee; our safety lies in defending our cabin. Let us do this with firm hearts, relying upon Him who alone is able to save us unharmed from this feariul p<ril.’ The Calm courage of Matthew Hylton quickly imparted i'self to hi* wife and daughter; and during the next twelve hours their active hands were employed m fortifying and barricading the cabin.— In this task they succeeded well; the structure wis built of stout logs, and of it«*if was almost n miniature fortress, while the preparations which (he defend--I ers were Hfije iq ipake visibly strengthen- | ed it and rendered it mire secure. Hardly had the morning dawned he- . fore Matthew Hyl’pn became aware that the woods adjacent to the cabin were till ed with savages. A kind of energetic de 'spair had taken possession of the mind of the pioneer, in view of his desperate cir- I

. cumstan.ces, and in this mood he resolv- ; • ed to become the aggressor. As one of I the savages expose his head for an instant, ' a quick report come from the cabin, while the y> II ot rage which instantly followed , it spoke of the death pf one, at least, of: the assailants. L'ke a band of demons the Indians now rushed from their concealment, and surrounded the cabin, joining at. the same time in a frightful chorus of whoops; but the cool courage of the brave defender soon taught them caution One after another fell under his rapid and fatal dis-i charges, and the assailants soon retired ; j precipitately to the forest'to arrange a I more feasable plan of attack. ! During the several hours following the I I Indians gained no advantage over the obi stinate pioneer Hardly an Indian enter- > ged, although but for an instant, from his ’ covey, wjtl.ont paying for his temerity with his life; and ’he shower of balls which they constantly directed towards-

the cabin sunk harmlessly into the logs. There was another cause, also which aided in the temporary discomfiture of the . Indians; with an exhibition of rare heroism. Lvnja Ililton had brought forth a! i spare rifle, ami being skilled in its use, more than one pi n'ed Iroquois fell before i its leaden messenger. ‘Well done mv girl!' Matthew Hylton cried, as he witnessed one of her fata,! dis ! charger. ‘Should Calamuck ever force you to enter his wigwam, he must be careful 'o remove his rifle from your reach.' , The Indians next tried to fire the cabin but the attempt was ineffectual The logs were solid and almost fire proof, while the roof was damp from recent rains, and not at all inflamable; and the partv which had been d> tailed for the attempt retired wi'b considerable loss. But th" attack now assumed a new as. pent Burning with rage against his stubborn adversary, Calamuck led his nnr*v pr>nn a straight run towards the cabin. and brandishing their hatchets, fierceilv assailed the the door. Their blows at first seemed ineffectual, "nd half a do ?en fell before tl.e fire of the defenders; but a still fiercer assault caused the door 'to quiver ominously, and in a moment it was carried forcibly from its hinges'

.... _ "" ni nu i Two more of the Indians fell as the whole body rushed across the thri-shol 1; but this was the I is( effort of the defenders.— Matthew Hylton stood before his wife and daughter with brandished nil ■. put a blow from the hatchet of C.dmiu.-k l ud : him senseless at his feet, and with a wild . cry of satisfaction, 'lie savage st-izud the form of Lvdia Hrbon in his arms •The Pal.- L’ly must bloom in the lodge of the Iroquois’’ he triumphantly • xclaim ed The captive maiden closed her eyes with a shudder of despairing agonv; when suddenly the sharp ring of a d< z-n rifl-s i came to her ear. she arms of Calamuck slowly relaxed, and without a groan he I sank down dead. Nor was he the only one harmed fiy that fatal volley. Four others ol the Iroquois, and among them ; one who was swinging his hatchet above the head of Mts Hvlton, who knelt im ploringly at his feet’ Ml dead where he stood and with a repetition of the d s ; charge, with similare :ts, the confusion and terror of the few remaining savages were complete. Wi'h wild cties they fled to the forest, drawing after them a scat teringfire, hardly less (ata! in its effects than the previous ones.
