OLDEN MEMORIES. BV J. II. UIXBV. Hours there are when fancies oltleii Come unhidden to my soul -Fancies of youth's glad and golden Season o'er me roll. When I rove in pleasant places, Shadowy wood or punny plain, Dearest old familiar faces, Meet my glance again. Meet the glance of teeming fancy, Thrill and fill my loneliness; 0, what rarest necromancy Memory has to bless. Life than this ppell,hath no brighter; Though ye fail the gay to please, Ye do mate my sad heart lighter, Uldcn memories ! THE RESCUE. AN INCIDENT OF THE REVOLUTION, j , . - It was an autumnal evening the Forests . had begun to don their robes of gorgeous colors. The. fields, shorn of their harvest treasures, lay like golden lakelets in the rich and mellow sunset. The noble Highlands, like giant warriors, clothed in their canopy of rocks and foliage, threw their sullen shadows far upon the glorious Hudson, which, rolling along its path of beauty, gleamed like a fallen rainbow in the innumerable tints of accidental glory. The first star was twinkling on the brow of twilight, when a barge was seen to leave the promontory oft" West Point, in the neighborhood of which we locate our narrative, in tho year 17C2. In it were several j arsons attired in the military costume of that neriod. who. with well measured strokes of their oars, ni.nl their sma 1 boat dart over the g. dden waters like a ray of ! light. In the stern was seated a man about 0 ' - n.i-7 nnu . lll.lll iiuvill! fifty years of age. His head was uncover-', ed, and reveali-d to view a wide and eapacious brow; his features were marked and masculine; hU mouth which was i- uliar- . .... ..... one of the rowers leaped upon the bank, i . and made it fast to thc root of a willow .

That evening a parly was to be given at j the house of one of his old and valued

friends, to which he, with several other j tiJ St &r at a degree as to partly spill the American officers, had been invited. It was j contents of the goblet. With difficulty he seldom that he participated in festivity, conveyed it to his lips; then returning to more especially at that period, when cwry j tnc window, he waived his hand, this aomomeiit Avas fraught w ith danger; neverthe-j ,'on was immediately responded to by a less, in respect to an old acquaintance, by ; tnri discharge of the cannon, and the Enthe solvations of Miss Uuby Kugsdale, the ! rtr,'su anthemof 'God save the King burst daughter of the host, he had consented to!111 volume upon the ear, and a band of

relax from the toils of military duty, and honor the party for a few hours with his presence. After continuing his path along the river's side for a few moments, he struck into a narrow road, Ixmlered thickly with brushwood, tinted with a thousand dves of departed summer. Suddenly a crashing among the branches was heard, and, like a deer, a young Indian girl bounded into the path, and stood full in his presence. He started back with surprise, and laid his hand upon his sword; but lhe Indian only fell upon her knoe, placed her linger upon her lips, and by a sign w ith her hand forbade him to proceed. 'What seek you, my wild flower?' asked the General. She started to her feet, drew a small tomahawk from her belt of wampum, and imitated the act of scalping an enemy then, again waiving her hand as if f ubid-' ding him to advance, she darted into the! bushes, leav ing him lost in amazement. 'There is danger,' said he to himself, after a pause, and recovering from his surprise. 'The Indian's manner betokens me no good; but my trust is in God; he has never yet deserted me. And resuming his way, he soon reached the mansion of Kufus Kugsdale. His appearance was tho signal for joy among the party assembled, each of whom vied with the others to do him honor. Although grave in council a id bold in war,

PLYMOUTH, IND., MARCH 13, 1856.

in the bosom of domestic bliss no one knew better how to render himself agreeable. Protestations of friendship and welcome were warmly tendered by tho host Fast and thickly the guests were assembling; the smile, the laugh, and the mingling music rose joyously around. But alas! a serpent lurked amid the flowers! In the midst of their hilarity, tho boom of a cannon burst suddenly upon the air, startling the guests and suspending the dance. Washington and his officers looked at each other in surprise; but their fears were quickly dispelled by Rugsdale, who assured them that it was only a discharge of ordnance in honor of his distinguished o visitors. The joy of the moment was again resumed; but the gloom of suspicion had fallen upon the spirit of Washington who now, in moody silence, sat aptfrVfrojn the happy throng. ' A slight tap upon his shoulder at length roused him from his abstraction, and lookJng up, he saw the person of the Indian trirl standing in the bosom of a myrtle bush , . . . . . lla! again here!' he exclaimed with astonishmcnt; but she motioned him to be silent, and kneeling at his feet, presented him with a boquct of flowers. Washington received it, and was about to place it to his breast, when she grasped him firmly by the irm, and pointing to it, said in a whisper, Snole! Snaie!' and the next moment mingled with the company, who appeared to recognize and welcome her as one well known and esteemed. Washington regarded the boquct with wonder; he saw nothing in it to excite suspicion; her words and singular appearance had, however, sunk deeply into his heart, and looking closer ujxn the nosegay, to his T he saw a small piece of paper , in thc mi,Ist of t,lc flüVrors' I,asti,-V hc i .1........ : e .r. i . . r 1.1 i v yu u kmu., anu, coniounueu anu nonor m stl,cli0' 10;ul: yon arc IdnomW U was ,unv aPF-'"t lie was within the ( (IcUofthe lcr; but to (luit h abruptly nn-"1 uraw consummation ot ireacnery ... ! .1. . .1 ,1 r . i I 1 1 i".

The American officers diew their swords, but Washington, cool and collected, stood with his arms folded on his breast, and quietly remarked to them. 'Be calm, gentlemen, this is an honor we did not anticipate.' Then, turning to Kugsdale, he said, 'Speak, sir, what does this mean?' 'It means replied thc traitor, placing his hand upon the shoulder of Washington, 'that you are my prisoner. In the name of King George, I arrest you!' Never!' exclaimed the General. We may be cut !o pieces, but surrender we will not; therefore, give way!' and he waived his sword to the guard, who stood with their muskets leveled, as if ready to. lire should he attempt to escape. In an instant were their weapons reversed, and dropping their masks, to the horror of Kugsdale, and the agreeable surprise of Washington, his own brave party, whom he had left in charge of the barg, stood revealed leforo him! 'Seize that traitor!' exclaimed the commander. 'In ten minutes let him be a spectachs between the heavens and the earth.' The w ife ami daughter clung to his knees in supplication, but an irrevocable vowhad passed his lips, that never should treason again receive his forgiveness after that of tho miscreant Arnold. 'For my own life he said, while the tears lolled down

his noble countenance at tho agony of the wife and daughter, I heed not; but the liborty of my native land, tho welfare of millions demands this sacrifice; for the sake of humanity I pity him, but by my oath, and now, in tho presence of heaven, I swear I will not forgive him.' Like a thunderbolt fell these words upon the heart of tho wife and daughter. They sank lifeless into the arms of the domestics, and when they recovered consciousness, Rugsdale had atoned fordiis treason by the sacrifice of his life. It appeared that, the Indian girl, who was an especial favoriteand domesticated in the family, had overtieard the intention of Rugsdale to betray the American General and other valuable officers that evening into the hands of the British, for which purpose they had been invited to this 'least

This load, however, is not all letters and packages. All men must eat and an Indian in particular. He must carry a half ax or hatchet, a plenty of blankets, and something for his dogs to eat, as well as himself. What can be more desolate than such a lournev? Vet many lieisons from here make the tri) every Vinter on busi,,CS!? m company w Uli the mail. Sometimes they have the trail of a pre vious party, but the snow, which falls almost every day, soon ohli te rates f heir footsteps. Perhaps there is a line of blazed trees which they follow, but more often they are guided through the forest by the 'make of the ground,' or by tlie sun, if it should occasionally peep through the mists and snows of a winter sky. Thus they go, from the Ii i st dawn of day to tin twilight of evening; over lakes and mountains, through swamps and thickets that in summer would be impassable, but now smoothed up level with snow. The universal ever-green trees arc bending to the ground with a load ol snow on their branches, that frequently obstruct the way. This dismal procession of Indians; white men and dogs, go in single lile, a few feet apart, and for hours they travel on, at the hight of their speed, without a word or a laugh. It is too much of a task to clear away the snow, start a fire, heat the water, thaw the bread, and prepare a forest meal, to stop for it at noon. But at evening, when the shades of hyperborean night begin to gather among ibe brant lies of the trees, and the northern winds howl more earnestly, tho company look about for a shelterplace in sonn ravine where there is water, and some dry w ood for a lire, and then deposit their load of blankets and provision. They scrape away the snow with their snow-shows, down to the ground, thus making a wall of frost around them three or four feet high. Some cut wood for the, night, others break olFthe boughs of the pine, balsam or cedar, and Jay them down for a bed. Another procures some birch bark that is dry and some dry sticks, and soon, striking lire by his Hint and steel, or his matches, has a cheerful llame with its grateful heat enlivening tho place. It is also necessary to build a lodge or house of boughs overhead to keep otf the falling snow, under which they all gather and cook their supper with great glee. If a camp of Indians has been passed during

the day, there will be fresh venison, that

will occupy the best position around the lire, suspended upon the sharp points of limber sticks set in the ground and leaning towards the heat. There may be, however, only some salt pork, or ham and flour, made ed-ible by a short-handled frying-pan and f-ome water. It would astonish city people to see the quantity of such materials that disappear on such an occasion. The meal or rather the feast, is really intended for the whole of tho next twenty-four hours. When it is finished, the part- begin to unpack their feet and their blankets. The various articles that the feet are sandaled in for winter are so numerous and so peculiar, that I must defer the description till another time. The blankets being well spread, the fire made for the night, the dogs fed, and the disljes washed, the crowd, animal and mortal, Indian and white, doubles itself together in most friendly contiguity, and goes to .sleep.
