FRIENDSHIP. LOVE, AND TRUTH nr James Montgomery, When friendship, levc, and truth abound Among a hand of brothers; The cup cf joy goes gaily round, Each shares the ills of others; Sweet roses grace the thorny way, Alone this vale of sorrow;

The flowers that shed their leaves to day,

Shall bloom again to-morrow; How grand in age, how fair in youth, Arc holy friendship, love and truth! On halcyon wings our moments pass, Life's cruel cares beguiling. Old Time lays down his scythe and glass, In gay good humor smiling; With ermine beard and forelock gray, His reverend front adorning He looks like winter turned to May, Night softened into morning; How grand in age, how fair in youth. Arc holy friendship, love and truth! From these dcligctful fountains flow, Ambrosial rills of pleasure; Can man desire, can Heaven bestow, more resplendent treasun? Adorn 'd with gems so richly bright. We'll form a constellation, When every star with modest light, Shall gild his proper station; How grand in age, how fair in youth, Are holy friendship, love, and truth!

EARLY TIMES IX THE WEST. JOSHUA FLEETIIAKT.

The following interesting bordersketch

is published in Sillitnan'a Journal, as the

relation ol a gentleman who was tor sc

vcral years personally ac quaintcd with the actor. Wo recollect to have heard

sometingof the particulars before.

Joshua Flcctharf, was born and brought tip in a frontier settlement of Western

Pennsylvania, iu the days of her border warfare. lie was as much the child of the forest as any of his copper-colored tenants; his whole life, from boyhood to thirty years of age , having been spent in hunting bears, doer, buffalo, and occasionally Indians. He was also an experienced trapper ; and would w ith astonishing tact, counteract and overcome the cautious cunning of the half reasoning beaver, when once in their neighborhood, and secure them in the traps. Ilia perFon had been formed after one of nature's largest and most perfect models being several inches over six feet high, with bauds & arms of uncommon muscular size and strength. His

face was broad with high check bones,

terminating in a projecting chin, indicative of great firmness of purposo and natural

bravery. A ligjit hunters cap covered his head, affording a slight protection to his small keen eyes, which always shone

wun uncommon lustro at the approach of danger. lie could neither read nor write, but as his mental faculties had been uncultivated, his outward sense became doubly acute and active. His usual dress was in the true backwoods style consisting of moccasins, buckskin leggings reaching above the knees and fastened to a garment around Jus loins; a coarse woolen hunting shirt covered his arms and body reaching to the top of his leggings, and fattened round him by a broad leathern

belt, to which was suspended a hunting knife and tomahawk; while a capacious powder horn and bullet pouch hun ,T bv a strap from tho opposite shoulder. The riffle he was accustomed to use was one of the largest calibre, and of such thickness nnd length that few men were able to raise it to the eye with a steady hand. His fjur I rcthcs rwire all of the same gigantic mould, and two of them were employed as rangers by the Ohio company during the Indian war. His two sisters were also about six feet in height. When the colonists from New England took possession of the country about Marietta, Fleethart resided with his wife and

We subjoin the following remarks of his in relation to old bachelors; as a proof of what wc assert: "In the vast flower-field of human affection ; the old bachelor is the very scarecrow of happiness, drives away the little birds of love, that come to steal the hemlock-seeds of loneliness and despair. Where is there a more pitiable object in the world, than a man who has no amiable

woman interested in his welfare! How dismal does his desolate room appear, when he comes home at night, wet and

hungry, and finds a cold hearth a barren table and a lonely pillow, that looks like

the white urn of every earthly enjoyment' See the sick old bachelor in the dark afternoon of life, when his heart is sinking to its sundown! Not a solitary star of memory gleams over the dusk of his opening

mininfr with minute attention the tracts of

""b , 1 his moccasins, made as he returned to his camp. While hunting in the direction

of the Indian towns, tne day ueiorc, ins

acute and practised ear had distinguished the report of an Indian rifle at a distance. Fleethart immediately stepped behind a tree, and waited until the Indian had approached within the sure range of his shot. He then fired and the Indian, with a yell and a bound fell to the earth. The scalping knive had commenced its operation; but as the Indian was not quite dead, he

desisted, and fell to cutting loose some of

the silver bands with which his arms were

profusely ornamented and tucked them

under the tolds ot his Hunting sniri.

While thus busily occupied, he looked

up and saw four or five Indians close upon him. This being too numerous a party

for him to encounter alone, he seized his

rifle and took to his heels. They fired

upon him but without effect; he soon left them all but two far behind, who being

more swift of foot than their companions

continued the chase four or five miles,

without his being able to leave them he

often stopped & treed, hoping to get a shot

and disable one ol them; and then kill

the other at his leisure; as soon as he took

a tree the Indians did tho same, and byflanking to right and left, soon forced him to uncover or to stand the chance of a shot. In this dilemma he concluded to try the hills, and leave the level ground on which they had so long being strugling His vast muscular power here gave him the advantage, as he could ascend the hills faster than his less muscular foes. Per

ceiving him to be leaving them, the In dians stopped and fired; one ball passed so near that it cut away the handle of his hunting knife, as it hung at his side, jerk-

ing the blado so violently against it as

to make him think for a moment that he

was wounded. He immediately returned the shot, when tho Indians, with a loud

yell, abandoned the chase. rleetharta little out of wind made a wide circuit in the hillSjind into the river where he had fast

ened his canoe; and finding all safe, he lightly jumped on board and pushed vigorously through the day ; at night he laid down in his canoe, and when he awoke in the morning, was just entering the Ohio ; crossing over he reached Farmer's Castle in safety ,lacencd with the spoils of his foes and gratified with the admiration of hU former companions. After the peace, as the tide of emigration rolled westward, Fleethart still kept upon its borders, and was finally killed in some quarrel with his natural foes, tho red men of the forest.

In excavating the Ohio Canal, not far from the scene of Flcctharl's adventure, the skeleton of an Indian was found, with several broad silver bands, on the bones of his arms as Fleethart stripped off only a part of the bands, it is more than probable that this was the identical Indian.
