Wonderful Escape from the Indians. A HISTORICAL NARRATIVE. James Morgan, a native of Maryland, married at r.n early age, and soon after fettled himself near Bryant's Station, in the wilds of Kentucky. Like most pioneers cf the west, he had cut down the cane, built a cabin, deadened the timber, enclosed a field with a worm fence, and planted some torn. It was on the loth day or August, 17V-'-2: the sun bad descended; a pleasant breeze was play ing through the surrounding wood ; the tall cane bowed under its influence, and the broad green leav es of the corn w aved in the air: Morgan had seated himself 'In the door of his cabin, with his infant on his knee his young and happy wife had laid aside her spinning wheel, and was busily engaged in preparing the frugal meal. That aftcrnoc n be had accidentally found a bi'.-idic of letters, which he hat! finished reading to his wife before he had taken his scat in the door. It was a correspondence in which they had acknow ledged an early and ardent attachment for each other, and the perusal left evident traces of joy on the countenance of both the little infant, toe, seemed to partake of its parents smiles. playful hum -r, and infantile caress es. While thus agreeably employed, the report of a i illc w as heard ; another, and another, followed in quick succession. Morgan sprang to his feet, his wife ran to the door, and thev simultaneously exclaimed Inpians!" The door was immediately barred, and the next moment their fears w ere realized, by a hold ana spirited attack of a small party of Indians. The cabin could not be successful! v defended, and time was precious. iUorgan, com. nrave, ana prompt, soon decided. While Morgan was in the aci of concealing his wi!e uncer the ltoor. a mother's feelings overcame her she arose seized her infant, but was afraid that its cries would betray her place of conceal ment. She hesitatee. gazed suentlv un on it a momentary struggle between aftection anJ ;ulv took place, biie once jnorc pressed her child to her bosom; again and a ain kissed it with impassioned tenO 1 denies?. The infant, alarmed at the profusion of tears that fell upon its cheek, looked utt in its mothers face, threw its little arms around her neck, and w ept a,Ioud. "In the name of Heaven, Eliza, release the child, or wc shall be lost,"1 said the distracted husband, in a soft imploring tone of voire, as he forced the infant from his wife hastily took up his gun, knife and hatchet; ran up the ladder that led to the garret, and drew it after him. In a moment the door w as burst open, and the savages entered. By this lime, Morgan had secured his child in a lag, and bished it to his back; then throwing off some clapboards from the roof of his cabin, resolutely leaped to the ground. He was instantly assailed bv two Indians. As the first approached, he knocked him down with the butt end of his gun. The other advanced with uplifted tomahawk; Morgan let fall his gm and 'closed in.' The savage made a blow missed aim, but severed the cord that bound the infant to his back, and it fell, the contest over the child now became warm add fierce, and w as carried on with knives only. The robust and athletic Morgan at length got the ascendency. Both were badly cut, and bled freely, but the stabs of the white man, were better aimed and dee

per, and the savage soon sunk to the earth in death. Morgan hastily took up his child and gun, and hurried off. The Indians in the house,' busily engaged in drinking and plundering, were not apprized of the contest in the yard, until the one that had been knocked down gave signs of returning life, and called them to the scene of action. Morgan was discovered, and immediately pursued, and a dog put on his trail. Operated upon by all the fec'ingsof a husband and a father, he moved wih all the speed of a hunted stag, and soon outstrippedthe Indians, but

me oog Kept m close pursuit. Jt lnuing i: impossible to outrun or elude the cunning animal, trained to hunts of this kind, he halted and waited till it came w ithin a few yards of him, fired and brought him down, rc-Ioadcd his gun and pushed forward. In a short time he reached the house of his brother, who resided between Bryant's Station and Lexington, where he left the child, and the two brothers set out for his dwciiing. As they approached, a light brckc upon his view his speed quickened, bis fears incieascd, and the most agonizing apprehensions crowded upon his mm.!. He emerge I from the cane brake, beheld his house in flames, and almost burnt to the ground, "My wife!" he exclaimed, as he pressed one hand to his forehead, and grasped the fence with the other, to support his tottering frame. He gazed for some time on the ruin and desolation before him, advanced a few steps, and sunk exhausted to the earth. Morning came the bright luminary cf Heaven arose and still found him seated noar the almost expiring embers. In his right hand he held a small stick, w ith which he was tracing the name of 'Eliza,1 on the ground his left was throw n cn his favorite dog, that lay by his side, looking first on the ruin and then on his master, with ev io.cn t signs of grief. Morgan arose. lT.e two brothers now made a search, and fou nd some bones, almost burned to ashes, which they carefully gathered, and silently consigned to their mother earth, beneath the wide spread branches of a venerable oak, consecrated by the purest and holiest recollections. Severe! days after this Morgan was cnirrged in a desperate battle t the Lower Miv? Licks. The Indians came oft victors aad the surviving whites retreated across the Licking, but w ere pursued, by the enemy for a distance of six and thirty miles. James Morgan was among the last that crossed the nver, and was in the rear until the hii! was arcended; As soonas he beheld the IiTt'iaus rc-appcar on the ridge, he felt anew his wrongs, and recollected the lovely object of his early affections. He urged on his horse and pressed to the front. While in the aci of leaping from liis saddle, lie received a rifle ball in his thigh, and fell; an Indian sprang upon him, seized him by liie hair, and applied the scalping luiife. At this moment Morgan "ast his eyas, and recognized the handkerchief that bound the head of the savage, and which he Idicw to be his wife's. This added renewed strength to his body, and increased activity to his fury. He quickly threw his left arm around the Indian, and with a deathlike grasp, hugged him to his bosom, plunged his knife into his side, and he expired in his arms. Releasing himself from the savage. Morgan crawled under a small oat; on an elevated piece of ground, a short dismee from bun. I he scene of action shifted, and he remained undiscovered and unscalned. an anxious spectator of the battle. It w as now midnight . The savage band after taking all the scalps they could find, left the battle ground. Morgan was seated at the foot of the oak; its trunk supported his head. The rugged and uneven ground that surrounded him was covered with the slain the once white and projecting rocks bleached with the rain and sun of centuries were crimsoned with the blood that had w armed the heart and animated the bosom f the patriot and the soldier. The pale glimmering of the moon occasionally threw a faint light upon the mangled bodies of the dead, then a passing cloud enveloped all in darkness, and gave additional horror to the feeble cries of a few still lingering in the last agonies of protracted death, rendered doubly appalling bv the coarse grow I of the bear, the loud howl of the wolf, the shrill and varied notes of the wild cat an I the panther, feeding on the dead and dying. Morgan beheld the scene w ith heart-rending sensations, and looked forw ard w ith the apathy of despair to his own end. A large and ferocious looking bear, cov ered all over with blood, now approached him; he threw himself on the ground si lent I v commended his soul to Heaven and m breathless anxictv awaueu ins iaic. The animal slow ly passed on without noticing him Morgan raised his head was about offering th.t: ks tor his unexpected preservation, when the cry of a pack ot wolves opened upon him, and again awa kened him to a sense of dangct. He plac ed his hands over his eyes fell on his face and in silent agony awaited his fate. He now heard a rustling in the bushes steps approached a cold chill ran over him. Imagination creative, busy imagination, was actively cmyloyed; death the most norrmie death, awaited him his limits "uld in all probability he torn from his and he be devoured alive. He felt a -k-,he vital rpark was almost extinguished another touch more violent than the first, and he was turned over.

moon passed from under a cloud a faint ray beamed upon him his e) es involuntarily opened, and he beheld his wife, w ho in a scarce audible w iee exclaimed, "My husband! my hustand!" and fell upon his bosom! Morgan now learned from his wife, that Jtftcr the I:v'i n? had entered the house, they f io.-i mc spirits and drank freely; hi i.Kerca! km soon took place one of them received a mortal stab and fell ; his blood ran through the floor on her. Believing it to be the blood of her husband, she shrieked aloud, and betrayed her place of conceal ment, bhe was immediately taken and bound. The party, after sotting fire to the house, proceeded to Bryant's Station. On the day of the battle of the Blue Licks, a horse, witli saddle and bridle rushed by her w hich she knew to be her husband's. During the action the prisoners were left unguarded made their escape, and lay concealed beneath some bushes under the bank of the river. After the Indians had returned from the pursuit, and left the battle ground, she, w ith some other persons that had escaped with her, determined to make a search for their friends, and if on the field, and living, to sav e them if possible from the beasts ot prev. After search ing for some time, and almost despairing of success, she tortunately discovered him. The party of Colonel Logan found Morgan and his wife, and restored them to their friends, their infant and their home. Frcrn a western corrcpondent of the N. Y. Express. THE WEST. The town of Adrian, Michigan, is pleasantly situated on the romantic river Raisin, w hich empties itschiystal stream into the broad and beautiful w aters of the far famed Lake Erie. It lays about leu miles south oS Tecumsch, the present county town of Lenawee county, but as Adrian is nearer the centre of the county, the courts are soon to be removed there. This village is laid out. with much taste, its streets being wide and spacious, having a public square designed for a promenade the dwelling houses though not of great magnitude, display much neatness. One of the churchci is elegant enough for any of our large cities. There is a bank here, and a printing office, from which is issued a newspaper, called the "Watch Tower.11 The stores arc well filled with almost every article of merchandize usually called for, and appear also to have a good supply of purchasers. Above all, there is a rail road from this village to Toledo, (a city cn the Maumce river) about ready for transportation of the produce of this fertile region, to the Lake, and from thence through the grand canal to the great city of New York; and for merchandize from Toledo destined for Adrian and the interior. There is an excellent w ater pow er here, and its enterprising citizens have improved it to advantage bv erecting flour, grist, saw and clothing mills ;hcy have also built chair factories, tanneries, turning shops, &.e. The farms in the vicinity of Adrian are well cultivated, and the soil is said not to be surpassed in richness by any other in this new and thriving State. Upon the w hole, Adrian is a delightful place, and its inhabitants appear to be a prosperous and happy people, and with the numerous advantages it possesses, it must needs be, at no v ery distant period, one of the largest inland towns in Michigan. This place has sprung into existence, as it were, by enchantment, for less than half a dozen years 011 the very spot where this bustling citylikc village now stands, was a how ling wilderness. It would be well for the enterprising emigrant who is in search ofa place to locate himself in, be he trader, mechanic, fanner or laborer, just to take a peep at this lovely village, before he sets himself down permanently in any other section of the mighty west. Pedestriaaism--Extvaordiuary Feats. The people of Pcsth, in Hungary, have been much gratified by the arrival in that city of the celebrated runner Mensen Ernst, of Norway, whose reputation has been diffused throughout Europe. This man has performed the most extraordinary and most incredible journeys in short spaces of time. He walked from Paris to Moscow in fourteen days, and is now on his return from G recce, which he succeeded in reaching in only twenty-four days from Munich. Very lately he travelled from Constantinople to Calcutta, in the Eist Indies, and h-.ck, (1,121 German miles, G,200 EngH: h.) in fifty-nine days. This latter performance would be incredible, but. that it i attested by unquestionable certificates. The pedestrian has had to slrug'o with many privations, very often hunger and thirst; now wading through immense districts of marsh, then struggling through vast plains of sands. In the latter he always found his Norwegian patterns, three feet long, of the greatest service fo him. From Constantinople he went by Scutari and Asia Minor to Persia, Babylon, and the Persian Gulf, to Calcutta. After stopping there for two days and a half, in order to procure the necessary attestations, he returned by Tartary, Teheran, and Persia, crossed the Taurus, and arrived at Constantinople, where he delivered into the hands of the Count Attesta, Envoy of Sweden, a letter written only eight days before. At Pera he publicly exhibited as a runnor, and his performance was witnessed by many of the diplomatists. Erust is a seafaring man, and served on

board the Bucharest in the British fleet at Navarino. Feeling some curiosity from that circumstance for seeing the field of the last warfare between Turkey and Russia"

he crossed the Balkan, visited Shi-ml.n Varna, and Silistria. performed nuarantino at Orzova, whence he has at last come to resin, where lie has met with a complimentary reception. Although only a common sailor, lie speaks, besides the Scandinavian, English, French, German, and a little Greek and Turkish. II 3 proposes this year to start from England to Morocco, and to traverse Africa. AX EVEXTPfL LIFE. A memoir was read at a recent session of the Academy of Sciences at Paris, detailing some curious facts in the life ofa man who w as buried alive. M. Morel was a Lieut, in the Army of Egypt, and at the memorable battle of St. Jean d'Acrc, he had both his thighs broken by a grape shot. When he had nearly rccoverd from, the effects of this wound, he was attacked with the plague, and conveyed to the hospital, where he grew worse rapidly lost all sensation, w as pronounced dead, and with a number of corpses of those wlio had died of the same disease, he was thrown into the ditch. Soon after one of the soldiers, on the guard in that vicinity, was much astonished at seeing one of the dead men standing bolt upright! He hastened to his assistance and Morel was 11 gain conveyed to the hospital. In a few days after, he was again attacked with a fit of lethargy, and believed to be dead. This time he was wrapped in linen cloth, and buried in the sand. In the night, a high w iiid arose, which displaced the sand w hich covered his body and caused the unfortunate man to awake. He tore off his w inding sheet, and crept towards the hospital where he remained a long lime before he recovered his general health but he did not recover the faculties of speech or hearing, until several years after he entered the Hospital of Invalids at Avignon. He is now sixtyseven years old and has the aspect ofa decrepidold woman, hardly able to walk. POWER OF IMAGINATIONS An honest New England farmer, started on a very cold day in winter, with his sled and oxen into the forest ha'f a mile from home for the purpose of chopping a load of wood. Having felled a tree, he drove the team alongside and commenced chopping it up. By an unlucky hit he brought the w hole bit of the axe across his foot, with a sliding stoke. The immense gash so alarmed him as nearly deprived him of strength. He felt the warm blood fulling his shoe. With great difficulty he succeeded in rolling himself on the sled, and started the oxen forborne. As soon as he reached the door, he called for help. His terrified wife and daughter with much effort lifred him info the house as he was wholly unable to help himself saving his foot was nearly severed from his leg. He was laid carefully on the bed groaning all the while very bitterly. His w ife hastily prepared dressings, and removed the shoe and sock, expecting to sec a desperate wound when lo! the skin was not even broken. Before going out in the morning he wrapped his feet in red flannel to protect them from the cold; the gash laid this open to his view, and he thought it flesh and blood. His reason not correcting the mistake, all the pain and loss ot power. which attends a real wound followed. Man often suffers more from imaginary cvils, than from real ones. The Industry of Nature. Industry is the visible friend of happiness and virtue. It adapts the gills of the Creator to the ends which he designed. Wc are excited to it by the examples and analogies of nature. The little rill hastens onward to the broad stream, cherishing the flowers on its margin, and singing to the pebbles in their bed. The river rushed to the sea dispensing on a broader scale, fertility and beau ty. Ocean receiving his thousand streams and swelling his ceaseless thunderhymn, bears to their desired hav en those white winged messengers which promote the comfort and wealth of man, and act as envoys between remotest climes. In the secret bosom of the earth, the little heart of the committed seed quickens, circulation commences, the slender radicles expand, the new born plants lift a timid eye to the sun-beam the blossoms diffuse odor the grain whitens for the reaper the tree perfects its fruit. Nature is never idlc. Lessons of industry come from insect teachers, from the winged chyinist in the bell of the hyacinth, and the political economist bearing the kernel of corn to its subterraneons magazine. Mrs. Ilemans. A forcible Argfment. "Gentlemen of the jury," said a Iloosicr lawyer addressing a real shell bark jury "I say that 'are magnanimous sun shines in the heavens, though you can't sec it, kase its behind a cloud; hut you know, though I can't prove it: so my client rises arly hunts koons like an honest man. has a good case though he can't prove it; now if you believe what I tell you about the sun, you arc bound on your bible oaths to believe w hat I tell you about my client's case, and if you don't, then call me a liar, and that I'll be squatawa'd if I'll stand any how ; so if you don't want to swear false and havo no trouble, you'd belter give us your case"1

EFFECTS OF SCOLDING CUILDItEA". The philosopher Locke, in his 'Thoughts concerning Education,1 endeavors to dissuade those who have the care of children, from scolding them, especially in anger. It lessens, says he, the authority of the parents, and the respect of the children ; for they distinguish easily betw ixt passion and reason; and as they cannot but have a reverence for w hat comes from the latter, so they quickly grow into a contempt for tho former; or, if it causes a present terror, yet it soon wears off, and natural inclination will easily learn to slight such scare-crows, which make a noise, but are not animated by reason. Vow of the cirois of young children are regarded by this philosopher as really vicious; and it is only when they are vicious that they are to be restrained with so much pains. Even when they really do amiss voluntarily, a mere look or" nod ought to correc t them. Or if words are

sometimes to be used in the management 1 of the child, they ought, says he, to be ! grave, kind and sober, respecting the ill or unbecominguess of ihe faults, rather than a hasty rating of the child for it, which makes him not sufficiently distinguish whether your dislike be not more directed to him than his faults. Passionate chiding usually carries rough and ill ; language with it, which has this further ill effect, that it teaches and justifies it in children; and the names that their parents or preceptors give them, they will not be ashamed or backward to bestow on others, having so good authority for the use of them.11 There is so much truth in these sayings of Air. Locke, that I wish thev could be I fastened, like tho words of the Jewish law, I to the very doorposts of some of our houses. Not. that they would do much good, I where the habit of scolding forever is al ready fixed, but the disease is so dangerous, a remedy is so much needed, that almost any expedient is worth proposing. I am not ignorant that hundreds, during the last hundred and fifty years, have tried to evade tho force of Mr. L's reasoning, 1 not by showing him to be in error, but j i-i.u'-'tj uv iiuitui';. iiuvfttj lilt: y ou, a? j not a father; an -fid bachelor's children j arc always well governed.' Now wc find j many of the truths which Mr. Locke teaI dies, and this among the rest, so cramped ! on the very face of society, and so standing j out in broad and plain characters, that it is k,- ..:.!:,...! t ,.i. .1 impossible borrowing the language of scripture for him who runs not to read. j Who has not observed that those paj rents who frown and scold much, arc among the most unsuccessful in the art of I governing their families? I believe it j would be difficult to find an exception to j this rule, or at least to find a single family j in which there is much scolding, where j an)- thing like good discipline is pressed, j Annals of Education. ! DISCONTENT. j How universal it is. We never yet knew the man who would say, 'I am consented.1 Go where you will, among the j rich and poor, the man of competence or the man who earns his bread by the daily sweat of his brow, you hear the sound of murmuring and the voice of complaint. The other day wc stood by a cooper, who I was playing a merry tune with his adze around a cask 'ah sighed he, 'nunc is a hard lot forever trotting round like a dog driving at a hoop.1 'Ileigho,1 said a blacksmith, in one of the hot daj s, as ho wiped the drops of perspiration from his brow, w hile the red hot iron glowed on his anvil 'this is life with a vengencc! melting and frying one's self over a burning fire.1 "Oh that I were a carpenter," ejaculated a shoemaker, as ho bent over his lap stone, 'here am I, day after day, wearing my soul away in making souls for othcis, cooped up in this little 7 by t room. 'Heigho! I am sick of this out door work,' exclaims the carpenter, 'broiling under a sweltering sun, or exposed to the inclemencies of the weather if I were only a tailor!1 'This is too bad!' perpetually cries the tailor, 'to be compelled to sit perched up here, plying the needle all the time would that mine was a more active life.' 'Last day of grace LianKs won t discount customers won't pay, what shall I do!' grumbles the merchant. 'I had rather be a Turks horse a dog any thing'.' 'Happy fellows'.' groans the lawyer, as be scratches his head over the perplexing case, or pores flyer some dry musty record "happy fel lows. 1 had rather hammer stone, than cudgel my brains on this tedious,- vexatious question." And so through all the ramifi cations of society all are complaining of their condition finding fault with their particular calling. Ifl w ere only this or that, or the other, I should be content, is the universal cry anything but what 1 am. So wags the world so it has wagged, and so it will wag. "LOOK NOT HACK." It is weak to be scared at chtlicnlties, see ing that thev generally diminish as ihcy ire approached and oftentimes even en tirely vanish. No man can tell what he can do till he tries. It is impossible to calculate the extent of human powers; it can only be ascertained by experiment - What has been accomplished by parties and in solitary individuals in the torrid and the frozen regions under circumstances the most difficult and appalling, should teach us thai, when wc ought to attempt, wc should never despair. The reason why

VOI.OIE ITAO. 186.

men often succeed in overcoming uncom mon difficulties more than ordinary ones is, that in the first case they call unto action the whole of their resources, and that they act upon calculation, and generally under calculate. Where there is no retreat and the whole energy is forward, the chances arc in favor of success; hut a backward look is full of clanger. Confidence of success is almost success; and abstracts often fail of themselves before a determination to overcome them. There is something in resolution which has an influence beyond itself, and it inarches on like a mighty lord amongst its slaves! all is prostration where it appears. W hen bent on good, it is almost the noblest attribute of men; when en evil, the most dangerous. It is by habitual resolution that men succeed to any great extent; impulses are sufficient. What is done at one moment is undone the next; and a step forward is nothing gained, unless it is followed up. Resolution depends mainly on the state of the digestion, which St. Paul remarkably illustrates when bo says "every man that striveth for the mastery is tenvpcrate in all things.1' TRUE HONOR. There is no word of greater import and dignity than Honor. It is virtue, adorned with every decoration that can mako it amiable and useful in society. It is the true foundation of mutual faith and credit, and the real intercourse by which the business of life is transacted with safety and pleasure. It is of universal extent, and can be confined to no particular station of life, because it is every man's interest. It ia impossible to have too great a regard and esteem for a man ot strict honor; but then let him prove his right to this title by the whole tenor of his actions : let him neither attempt to derive his character or form hist conduct from fashion or the opinion of others: let a true moral rectitude be tho uniform rule of his actions, and a just praise and approbation will bo hi3due and reward. Tir- Nephews of Napoleon". It is not generally known, perhaps, says the NewYork Star, that two of the nephews of tho Emperor Napoleon arc now in this cityy residing at the Washington Hotel. Napoleon Louw-j son of the ex-king of IloIIaad who was compromised in the Strasburg affair; and Pierre Napoleon, son of Lucren, who had some difficulties with a platoon of" the Pope's soldiers at Rome. The former is rather of a short stature exceedingly plain in his manners and dress affable and intellcgcnr, and is the auther of several able publications on military matters. Pierre is full and fleshy and his dark hair and profile bear a strong resemblance to his illustrious uncle. It is the intention of Napoleon Louis lo mako a tour of this country the present year. lie speaks tho English with much fluency. Smoking Ladies. The ladies of Augustura are in general tolerable handsome, their figures airy, light, and rather elegant. Their dresses arc rich, and they have abundance of fine lace, of which the' wear a profusion. They are, with very few exceptions, prodigal of their affections, and s-j fond of smoking scgars, that 1 ho usual compliment of tho morning, when they are visited, is to hand one. If an additional compliment is intended,, the lady will light, that she means to, offer hy putting the end in her own-mouth, and inflaming it from the one .she had herself been smoking. Another still more affectionate mode presents itself. When the lady has given you a scgar, places her own in her mouth, and, having by two or three good whiffs thoroughly lighted her own, tho gentleman approaches, and placing the end of his scgar on the blazing one of hers, they both whiff until each has a scgar in full (lame, w hen the parties separate with a smile and a bow, or sit and continue their chat. Ci'RK for the Headache. The following cure, pronounced to be the "sovercign'st thing in life" for the distressing pain called the Headache, is mentioned in the Clinton (Miss.) Gazette. We cannot speak to its virtues, but let no one condemn or discredit it without a trial. Experience is, after all, the sure teacher: Sovereicx Remfpyfor Headache. A gentleman came into our office the other day complaining of a violent headache. Ho sat dow n by the fire, and after half an hour's conversation took out his pocket book and paid u.t his hill for printing last year. When he rose to depart w c inquired if the pain in his head was relieved. He said it was entirely gone. Hence wo immediately concluded that 'paying the printer' was a sovereign remedy tbr the headache. This remedy is made known to the world free of charge and alone for the benefit of those persons who arc subject to the distressing headache. An eastern editor in alluding ar1'V11 town, says that "it takes sevcra o thcir ,,i,rs to pull up a blade ot grass; that they are so poor, the foremost se.zes the .pear i his mouth and the bal.ico having taken each other by the tail hen they al giv e a lomr pull, a sWP""' and a pull altogether-and if it breaks, the whole tumble to the ground, for want ot sufficient strength to support themselves. It must take three or four such pigs to make a shadow."
