Old Man (entering) Avauot,! you ragged villain you, Or I will be for drilling you; Quick leave my sight, for nought hnt flight Will hinder me from killing you I Ext?. THE LOVE LETTER; 01, TRUTH A FICTION". It was a beautiful afternoon! I sat down at my table, and took up a b mk to resume my studies, I had not been lung in this situation, when I heard a gentle rap at the door of my chamber, and before I had time to rise, the door slowly opened, and Mrs. D entered mt apartment, leading by the hnd her daughter Cordelia. 1 hastily arose handed them chairs, and bade them be seated: and at the same time drew my chair close to the side ol Cordelia, whose hand I took and pressed to my lips; she hastily withdrew it, and looked towards her mother. I saw a tear trickle down her Velvet cheek, and would have asked her what it meant but Mrs. D interrupted me, and thus broke silence: "Mr. C ," said she "you may think this intrusion very strange; but I have a sufficient apologj, I hope to justify it. I t pointing to a letter which she held in her hand but first I have a word or twotosa, on a subject which very near y concerns the welfare of my daughter and yourself. Y u have ever expressed warm attachment to my child aye, have even said you loved heijbut whether you felt what you then gave utterance to, is out of my power to decide. I now wish to know what are your real sentiments towards my child Y' "iMrs. Dnot believe me when I declare that I love Cordelia? My feelings towards her have always been of the purest nature, and vere it in my power, I would this mo ment, were you and Cordelia willing, wed her; but 1 am poor and thia is the only barrier which prevents me from carrying my wishes into eflVct." "Theo I presume, Mr. C . that you are perfectly willing to resign all claims to Cordelia's hand, should a more acceptable offer be made?" "Certainly, madam." "Well then read this letter," said Mrs. D. at the same moment handing it to me. ft ran thus: "Dear Madam I know not in what manner to address you on a subject, which is nearest my heart this subject, madam, is your lovely daughter; I have frequently seen her, and a few nights eince had the pleasure of being her partner at a ball. I then addressed her, and she seemed to favor niy suit. I have, madam, twenty thousand dollars at my disposal, which is out at interest and lam in expectation of receiving an addition to my present fortune of ten thousand dollars With your permission I will pay my immediate respects to your daughter to whom 1 hope my advances will prove acceptable. Yours with respect, . Henry ." I closed the letter, and handed it to Mrs. D- , "What do you think of this letter Mr. C." L "Mrs. D- ," said am pleased to see that Corde-ia has received such a liberal offer he is rich, and know him to be a generous hearted fellow. Cordelia, I congratulate you and hope that you will have a kind and tender husband one who will watch over you, ftiid administer to your little wants who will treat you as tenderly a I should have done, had it pleased Heaven toi

have made me your choke. I resign you, Cordelia, to my rival but with this

assurance, that you will not find one who loves you more tenderly than myself. ror my part, I will go to some foreign shore,and among strangers end an existence which ha3 been nought but riflliction and misery." I coald say no more; my utterance was choked the tears rolled down my cheeks I drew my handkerchief wiped my eyes and was on ihe point of rush ing from the root, when Cordelia called o to HIP. "William! William !" said she, and threw her arm around my neck. "Oh, Cordelia!" I exclaimed, and sunk into her arms. "William! William Pis it possible that you could think me 6o base as to desert you whom 1 have loved above all on earth leave you, because you arepoor, and fly to him, because he is rich! No, Nu, William, I would ralher with you, live in poverty, than wed him, or anyother in affluence. Oh, William, what have I done that has degraded me thus in your estimation? why should 1 forsake him who has ever treated me with so much kindness and affection? "'Tis too much," said she, and vented her feeling in a flood of tears. 1 knew not whether joy or grief was uppermost in my 6oul my heart throbbed as though 'twould burst my parched throat would scarcely give utterance to my words. "Forgive me, dear Cordelia," I exclaimed, "you have done nothing! give us your blessing, mother, and make your children happy !" Mrs. D advanced towards us, with tears flowing from her eyes; look each of our hands, and joined them together. "Rise, my children, and receive a mother's blessing Cordelia is yours, William; and I pray she may prove to y ou as faithful and as alieclionate a wife as ghe has been to me a dutiful and obedient daughter!" fn my eagerness to ela?p Cordelia to my breast, I hit my head against the bed post, which awoke me, arid I found, alas! 'ftea all a dream!!!" American Traveller, From the Philadelphia Souvejiir. The following tfcene was acted in Virginia, about eighty miles south of Pittsburgh, it is but one of the many conflicts of a similar character, which took place in the western country, in early limes, when every etep towards its settlement was marked with blood-! shed and satage cruelty. The lirst settiers of every savage country are men of the most vigorous constitutions and de termined courage; the reverse of these qualifications would not risk the privations to be encountered in places remote from the ameliorating influence of civilized society, and exposed to the continual pred itory and murderous incursions of savage foes. Ol such materials were the gallant band composed, who became the nioi.ei rs of civihz ition tn thp wpsi. Privations which would have triumphed over common constitutions were their almost constant companions and in such scenes of danger and noble daring as the oue described below were they irequentiy compelled to encase: "1 have lately retured from 31onongalta county, where I spent some time very agreeable with friends and family connexions. 1 there trod on what I called classic ground; for thus I would denom inate etery spot rendered sacred or illustrious by feats ol valor or acts of patriotism during the soul trying times ol our Revolutionary struggles. 44 Well 1 remember reading in my boyhood, the story of David Morgan's mortal combat with two Indian?, and the Itvely impression which the cheering re sult made on m) youthful Ireart. It certainly merits a niche in the annals of our revolution, though 1 have never seert it recorded in ihe history of that glorious and eventful epoch. The particulars of that saneuinarv conflict,! collected from the immediate descendants of ihe hero, one of whom then a boy, named Stephen, was with his father at the lime the Iudians made their appearance. The farm of 800 acreg, which was the theatre of the action, lies a short mile west of ihe Monongahela river about 13 mites above M, rgantown, and was then the property of David Morgan. It is still in possession of the family being held in equal shares by Stephen and his elder brother. They are unable lo fix the precise date of the occurrence, but believed it to have taken place in April, iu tho8elimes of extreme peril, the inhabitants of the Monongahela country forted themselves for protection against savage incursions, and went out occasionally to work on their farms. The fort to which D. Morgan belonged was situated on the river opposite to his farm. On the morning of the memorable day, Stephen and a sister considerably younger than himself, went to the farm to see the cattle; and while there, employed themselves in clearing a patch for water melons. The length of their stay exci ted uneasiness in their father, who took his rifle-and went to look tor them. Finding them busily engaged, he took a scat

on a log beside theft, and in a shart Irene discoveied two Indiana making towards them. With the utmost calmness he pointed them out to the children, and bade them make the best of their way to the fort. Then throwing himself between them and the savages he retarded the progress of the latter till the former might make their escape Now commenced a war of stratagem and blood. Trie Indians, aware of the I fiz-ird of exposing themselves in open pursuit to the deadly fire of Morgan's rifle, made short

advances with much caution, as they could shelter behind trees, while heretreated with equal circumspection. At length perceiving the shoulder of one of his wily foes exposed, with sure aim he dispatched a swift winged messenger of death which laid him prostrate and breathless. Morgan's gun being empty, the other savage rushed forward to his pr y,and when within a few pacts fired and missed. He then threw his tomahawk which struck the barrel of Morgan's rifle, which he raised to ward off the blow, and severed two of his fingers. His enemy then advanced to grapple, when Morgan struck him a furious stroke on the head with his rifle and broke the breech, but failed to bring him down. The combatants then closed in with each other, and in the scuffle Morgan threw his opponent, but was quickly turned by him. In this perilous situation he perceived the Indian, whose arms he confined close, attempting to draw a knife from his belt. As soon as he had worked the handle out, Morgan seizing it drew the blade through the other's hand, and cut it severely. The Indian then suddenly springing up laying hold of n huge club leveled a violent blow at his antagonist, but the wood be ing decayed, it broke without much in'jury to him. Morgan now rushed at him with the knife, when they again closed, and alter several thrusts which struck against his ribs, he succeeded in penetrating between ihemlo his hearl'o blood. Tbe savage cursed Morgan and retired enfeebled by the loss of blood, and hi bowels protruding through the oriiice. Thus terminated this ferocious fight; which fur deadline? of purpose, tr fierceness of bravery has few parallels in the history of war tare, either civilized or savage. When Morgan returned with the intelligence t tie men of the fort went out to view the battle ground, and the effects of the dire rencounter. David Morgan was a stout, active, athletic mae, weighing about 200 lbs. yet his tawny antagonist appears to have been more rugged than he. It is possible Mi. Morgan might have failed in age, as he i

. i . I t ,All year at the time oJ the combat. He lies . i . i iii , interred in the ground which was the theatre of his gallant exploit and ignalh guou ror iuue. x ue sinan bugar nee oehind which the tirst Indian was shot, is dead and gone; and, exactly in its place stands a wild plum tree, now manifestly in the decreptitude of age. Tliuchangeful and Heeling is every thing which this world presents. 1 pressed the sod which fifty years ago was manured by the blood of those savages.

J$ncJote.A full blooded jonatbato, residing in a certain town in New Ei,e-

land, once took it into his head to go a courting; he accordingly saddled the old mare, and started off to pay his devoirs to one of the buxom lasses of the neighborhood. After 'stayin' with his gal' until day began to break in the east, he made preparations lojdepart. Just as he was sealing himself on the saddle, his fair one who stood at the door, (and who, by (he way, was marvellously fond of having 'sparks1) wished to have him come again, stammered out, "I shall be at home nexi Sunday night, Zeb." Zehadee, taking out his tobacco-box, and biting olf a plug of pigtail in less than a second, honestly answered, "So shall I, by gauly ."
