But love's warm breath, it could not thaw This forty -five vears frost :

L, Female Intrepidity. The following is true. When the war of extermination betweeft the Indiana and Kentuekians was at its height, those who inhabited the hack pans of the state, of Kentucky, were r bliged to have their houses built very strong with loop holes all around ; and doors always kept fastened, so as to repel any attack from the Indians. While the owner of one of these domestic fortresses was with his slaves, at work on the plantation, a neoro, who was posted near the house! saw approaching, a parly of Indi ans. He immediately ran to the house and the foremost Indian after him. The Indian was the fleetest, and, as the door opened to admit the negro.they both jumped in together. The other Indians, being some distance behind, the door was instantly closed by the planter's wife within, when the negro & Indian grappled. Long

and hard was the struggle, for as in the case of Fitz James and Roderick Dim, the one was the strongcr, and the other more expert, but strength, this time, was the victor, for they fell, the Indian below ; when the negro, placing his knees on his breast, & holding his hands, kept him in that position, until the woman, seizing a broad axe. and taking the Indian by his long hair, at one blow severed his head from his body. The negro, then seizing the guns, fired them at the other Indians, which as fast as discharged, were loaded again by the planter's wife, until (he party from

me neins, Hearing the1 tiring, arrived, when the Indians too!; to flight.
