Two vears belon* bad tbe snn of a Jnne oiuriiiug sbnim upou Ellen Uarpfr's inarriagH with tbe mail nf hnr choiup ; .and tbe lamps in a festive ball in tbn fiiif old uity of Porls- moDth hnd KJ^-nuiKd upou tbe t*vening*s rev- flry. Ellen was a l>!'np, aii.l no wonder that in houor of her penrlf.ss beanty aud bnr hua¬ band's woiih. the red wine bad flown freely, aud tbe sonu and jfst fiparkledbright from the lips of youth and loveliness.
But yonng Moreland waspos.=!essed ofa wild spirit of adventure, and life in tbat quiet old city ill-fitted bis adrenturous ualure aud so it came about tbat before the moous of the first year had waxed and waued upon tbeir bridal sky. tbe bappy conple found themselves established iu a loy hut far up amoug the White Mountains.
Ellen was very peaceful and contented tbere, for she possessed tbenudivided love of Uer hnsband; and by-and-by a liltle blue-eyed babe came to cheer ber forest home.
But on this uight, a vague undefined sense of evil seemed In be abotit ber, and she rose frequently to gaze into the thickening gloom. James was .abroad upou tbt monntaiu in search of venison, and sbe bad not heard the report ofhis rifle for many au bonr—it was siugular that he should remain away from her nutil af¬ ter nightfall.
Tbere were tribes of hostile Indians in the vicinity; there were wild fierce auimals in every copsewood, and gorges of death on either side of the dangerous patliway over the mouutaiu. Her imagiuation conjared up an hundred phantoms of evil ceutering all aronnd herhusband, until her brow grew cold and clammy with the sweat of fear, and her heart was ready to stop its throbbing at the fiuntest sound of the homeless wiud in the forest depth.
Her child, the four months old little Rachel; slept peacefully in her rough, cradle—not a ripple ofdouht or apprehension disturbing the smiling dimples about her rosy mouth.
" God bless the darling!" ejaculated Ellen Morelaud, pressing a light kiss upon the fore¬ head of her child; aud then taking up her knitting she sat down in the light of the pitch torch in the wide stone fire-place and tried to work. It was in vain. She could uot em ploy her handa while her mind was in snch perturbation, and rising impatiently she opened the door and looked forth. A dull, gray mist lay upon the peak of distant Kear- sarge, and far to the West the kingly summit of the White- Mountains loomed sombrely through the brooding atmosphere. There was an ominous stillness over everylhing, bnt far down in the dismal pine forest, back of the cabin, there was a low indistinct murmur —the unfailing precursor ofa storm. Wbat if her husband had wandered far in pursuit of game, and at so great a distance from home, that the narrow track thither had became invisible and unknown ? Wbat if he was destined to retum to ber nevermore ?
A nervous tremor shook her frame, and she went back pale aud trembling to the side of ber infant.
Hark ! was that tbe wind ? or the cry wild animal ?
The woman's heart hushed its bealiug, and ahe bent low her ear to listen, again—far away—^yet distinctly heard. She threw open the door, aud slood breathless waiting the recurrence of the sound. Ah ; but she recog nized it too well, it was tby war-hoop of : squad of Indians ; their terrible cry of victory over a pursued foe I Sbe needed no other as¬ surance thau her dread fears to convince her that it was her husband !
She offered one wild prayer for aid, and then returning to the room she bad l-'ft, she took ber infaut still in a quiet sleep, and wrapping it warmly iu a blanket, carried it out iuto a dense tbiokel in the rear of the hut; for she knew enongh of tbe Indiau char¬ acter to feel assured that whether tbey cap¬ tured her husband or uot; tbey wouhl be sure to destroy the dwelling.
Commending her child to God, she left it there, and went hack toward the caliin, hoping —she could not understand wby—tbat sbe might be able to do somethiug to save her huaband.
She concealed herself iu a buuch of whor¬ tleberry bnshes, aud had hardly done so wheu she heard tbe tread of morcasined feet upon the thick leaves, and almost felt the bot pant¬ ing of savage breaths on the air. In the faint light which shone from the opeu door of her home, ahe saw her husband stricken down by a blow from a skillfully aimed tomahawk, and heard the deep croan whieh burst from his lipa as be fell.
She partially understood the Indian dialect from having heard it frequently spoken by the wandering members of the different tribes who had from time to time called at the cab¬ in for food and drink; and now from the hasty consaltation among tbe red warriors, she gathered that they were to scalp her husband, murder his family and fire the house.
The leader of the gang raised his scalping knife over the uncouscioua victim, hut anoth¬ er Indian detained the blow. Mrs. Morelaud plainly heard bis words :
" Stay, brother; let us kill the squaw, and the youug papoose, and have the light of the wigwam to scalp him by 1"
The apeeoli was met with favor, and with one simnltaneona rush, they made for the house, leaving one of their unmher to guard the oaptive.
Instantly, with the speed of light, Ellen Moreland fiew from her covert, and springing to the entrance of the hut, closed noiselessly the heavy oaken slab which served aa a door, and thrust a stout stick through the great iron staple, which held it firm. The wei6 as safe aa thoagh the walls of a Bastile ''hat them in—for the hnt waa bnilt of pon-
of a
derous unhewn logs pinned together by atrong bolts—tho only break iu tbe walls being tfae door; for in those daya in that savage regiou, windows were a apeciea of oomfort nnknown. But tbe Indian that had been left without to Ruard the captive, aaw the deed, and with a fierce cry of rage he hurled hia tomahawk at the brave-hearted woman 1 Fortunately it missed its aim and sunk into the dixir jost over her shoalder. With an effort of great strength she wrested it from the slab, and stood with it in her hand aw^ting the on¬ slaught.
With his hunting knife brandished aloft, his eyes glowing like live coals, he sprang npou her, aud buried the kuife iu her sidel She closed her arms about hira; a desperate strug¬ gle, and the tomahawk of the treacherous Pegnawket entered his own braiu [ One hor¬ rible yell, and he sank backward upon the turf a corpse I
In the meantime, the efforts of the impris- oued savages to break their bonds were never released for a moment. Frantio blows fell fast and fnrious upon the door, aud Ellen* knew tbat iu time, it woald yield to their assaulta and set them at liberty. There was but one way to avert this—it was a terrible alternative, and for a moment her woman's heart shrank from its contemplation.
Bat the thoaght of her sleeping child and her murdered husband deoided her, aud ahe had strength for the work. She drew from her pocket a tinder box, which every settler kept about the person in case of accideut aud struck a light to the dried leaves round about; theu invoking God's pardon for the aot, ignited a pine torch and threw it apon the crisp bark roof of the hut. It waa but au iustaut; the flames Isaped up and danced merrily over the flammable material, then uommuuicating to the hay stored in the loft, they streamed up until far and wide the old mountains glowed like watch fires in the glare. Bnt Elleu was hardly eatisfied with the pro¬ gress of_the fire. Close by the hut in a rude outhonse there was some barrels of pitch, gathered from some of tbe pine trees aronnd, to supply the uearest market place. She took a shovel, aud from tbese barrela bedaubed the outside walls of tbe bouse, uutil the heat from the fire drove ber back, wheu retiring toward her hasband, she watched tbe ravages of the flames.
It was terrible. The cries of the Indians when they realized the snare into which tbey had fallen, were enough to appal the stoutest heart. Groaua, shrieks, mad execrations, aud eursfS upou the damnable pale-face who bad given them such a fale! But all waa vaiu. The burning mass from tbe loft fell iu upon thAi, tbe red bot walls glowed aud seethed as the fire communicated itself lo the pitch, the cries of the perishing savages grew fainter, the blows upon the door ceaaed, and tho waiting woman without knew that the work wa5 done.
Theu with an almost breaking heart abe ap¬ proached her husband. If for a momeut she wavered in her purpose, if she had thought of relenting, tbe feeling was changed to hard aud impassible stone wheu she lifted up tbe bloody bead of him she loved so well, and saw the deep, fearful gash in his deathly forehead !— The clots of blood concealed his features, his eyes were closed, his face like the face we see under coffin lids, and his hair—thatsoft, brown hair which had beeu his wife's pride, was dripping heavily with his life-blood. In that bour she forgot her babe, forgot her ruined home, her memory weut back to those long, annny days, npon the shore of the blue sea; these walks npon ihe golden sands with James by her side, on those quiet evening musings upon tbe gray head landa, when he sat weav¬ iug sea-weed wreaths, low at her feet. She remembered it all, eveu the very shine with which tbe June moon used to sUver that calm sea, and tho fairer light which bnrned in her heart, wheu one hand held hera and one voice whispered that she was dearer to one heart than all the jewels which Eastern princes held far over that glittering sea.
It all came back to her, fearfully vivid aud distinct from the contrast, and alone iu the dark night, with the light of her burning home pouring its red baptism over her, she held the inanimate body of her hnsband in her arms, and thought with piled np agony of the past.
She thonght she felt the cold form tremble, it waa a glorious thought. It infused new life iuto her veins and courage to her heart. She started up and tearing open his vest, pnt her haud upon the foantain of life. Oh, what a wild cry of joy rose to her lipa. " He lives, he lives. Thank God !" She resorted to every means in her power, they were but little, alaa! how very little —to restore him aud Heaven waa pleased to bless him with succeas. Breath came back to James Moreland's nostrils, aud life and warmth to his heart. His first words, when he opened his eyes, were bat an added assur¬ ance ofhis fervent love.
" My wife—Ellen—Heaven be praised.— She is alive.''
Then he sank upon her bosom aud said uo more. But he lived ; that was enoagh, and the brave woman, caating aside all thonght of herself, and regarding as nought the in¬ creasing paiu in her wounded aide, prepared to go for assistance. The nearest settlement was two miles up the valley, but, what to him was fatigue aud expoaure.
She sought the thicket where she had hid¬ den her infant; it still slumbered, and care¬ fully removing it she brought it to the aide of its father. Then divesting herself of her sbawl and apron, she wrapped the injured man teuderly in their folds and committing her husband and child to the care of Heaven she sat forth upou her errand, carrying a pine torch to light the tortuous way. Night hung dense and palpable over the earlh ; not a star or a gleam of light were to be aeeu over the battlements of tbe grim mountains, but sbe faltered not. Wild animala infested the whole valley, but the panther shrank away I from her white face with a growl of discon¬ tent, and the cowardly wolf hid himself in tbe underwood as her torch went by.
At length after a toilsome tramp of au hour or more, she reached the dwelliug of the nearest settler, and aroused his family. Peter Keuuey and bis three stalwart aons were dis¬ mayed wben they looked into the face of their visitor, with the blood trickling down her dress from tbe gash in her aide, and their countenances burned with impatience when sbe relaled to them iu a faw hurried words the events of the night, begging them to go with her to her husband.
No eutreaties were ueeded to move those hardy fellows to action in a case where hu¬ manity was concerned, and in tbe space of five minutes a rude litter had been constract¬ ed of interlaced boughs, across which a bed and some qailts were laid, and then each armed with his trusty rifle, the four men set forth for the scene of desolation.
Ellen Moreland refnsed to remain at Mr. Kenney's honse during the absence of the men on tbe errand of mercyi and not all the entreaties and expostulations of the kind- hearted settler's wife could move her from her purpose. Sbe must go baok to ber trea¬ sures, and so, declining to occapy the litter, she went on before the little cortege—faith and hope lending vigor to her frame and elasticity to her step. When one of his aona was urging her to accept of the little convey¬ ance, Mr. Kenney said:—"Let her alone, John, the good Lord will give her atrength and ahnt the jaws of the panther."
The devoted womau reached her hasband sometime before the others, and ahe was more than rewarded for her exertiona by the favorable change which had come over him. A &,int oolor flashed his face, and the hand¬ kerchief she had bound aroand hia head, had staunched the flow of blood.
Little Rachel, nestling np olose to the side
of her father, still alept—one of her tiny
handa dabbled in tHe blood wMoh had oozed
' from the wound in his forehead—the other
supporting her smiling cheek—a piotare of nnbonacious innooenoe aud beanty.
They pat the father and ohild together npou the litter, aud then went out to look at the smoking ruins of the cabin. The charred re¬ maina of the savages oould be perceived amid the embers, and they left them there undis turbed, feeling tbat Ellen Moreland had done only her duty in thus destroying them. The next day, the aettlers of the upper valley gathered together, and casting the body of the unbnmed Indian into the ashes with the rest, they covered the plaoe with tbe aods of tbe hill-aide.
Jamea Moreland lived, but hia illness waa long and tedious. He haa before him an ever preaent reminder of the heroism of his wife, for aince that night her right arm has hung uaelesa at her side. The wouud inflicted by the Indian'a aoalping knife waa near the arm pit, and aithoagh it did not mortify, it palaled the vital energy of the limb.
Her husband blesaea her every day for her heroio conduct at the time when he was brought BO near the domains of death, and her danghter, now the wife of a distinguished statesman, prays that she may bestow upon her two noble boya something of the apirit and bravery of their grandmother.
The burnt cabin waa never re-built; More- land removed to Dover, from thenoe to Port¬ land, Me., where he became au extensive shipbuilder—but he uever forgot the night of terror.

A SKETCH  PB03I  LIFB.
" There, now I I never saw suoh a trouble¬ some child in my life. I do believe it ia im¬ possible for you to keep atill a minute ;" and a haud came dowu with uo gentle tonoh upon the fair cheek ofa beautiful boy, who stood timidly shrinking beneath the angry glanoe of his passionate mother. " I am so sorryi mamma, I didn't go to do it," the bot flush of shame mounting to the very curls that nestled upon hia brow. "Yes, yon are al¬ ways sorry, but you never mend." These words, though spoken quickly, were much more gentle thau the first angry exclamation, for the mother aaw she had been unjust, tbat tbe accident had been cansed more by her own carelessness than the child's ; wri ting late the uight before, she had left the inkstand open npon the table, where he had accidentally overturned it in reaching for bis cap ; like all quick-tempered persona sbe felt her fanlt most keenly, but waa averse to ac¬ knowledging it even to herself. " Come Char¬ lie, it is time yon were going to school, and then I ahall have a quiet moment;" slowly g athering his books he started for the door, the grieved look telling of the inward pain.— ' Where is my good-bye kiss, Charl e ?" This was pleasantly aaid, but there was no answer¬ ing smile, ouly a deeping of the flushed cheek as be replied, " I thought you wera angry with me, mamma, and I was afraid to trouble you." Oh ! poor short-aighted mother, why was uot that little head pillowed upon your loving heart, tender hands put forth to part the clustering hair, and shower kisses upon lip, cheek, and brow, until those sad eyes would beam with happiness again. Alas I the hot blood of anger haa stained your cheek, haaty words have escaped your lips iu that pure presence, and both pride and ahame withhold the fond careas.
Furtively glancing up aud catching the softened expression ofhis mother's face, in a moment little arms are twined abont ber neck, tears fall thick and fast, while rosy lips close pressed to hers murmur, " I am not bad, mamma, only so sorry." This was too much for the mother'a heart; he waa her darling, her only one, aud ahe loved him with all the ardor of her impulaive uature, and yet he was made to feel agaiu and again the bitter effecta of her paaaionate temper.
Kissea are withheld no longer now, but with quivering lip aud tear-brimmed eye ahe fond¬ ly clasps him to her heart, and inwardly vows with the help of God to curb the impulsive temper which rules her to so much pain and sorrow. " There, pet, you must run to school or yon will be late;" so the bright ringlets were smoothed again, mamma's last goodbye kiss given, and Charlie bounds away with a smile on his lip, bnt the loug lashes atill damp with the tears that glistened npon his cheek. It was a lovely spring day, the air was scented with a dewy freahneas, the wann sun¬ light softly bedded in the opening cups ofthe drowsy flowers, songht with eager kissing lips to unbind their winter dreamB; light winds coquetting with the orchard houghs sent a shower of anowy blosaoma to the ground; everything was bright aud beanti- Then why this sadness upon the mother'a brow? Wherefore thia uncomfortable choking sensation in the throat, as watohing the last glimpse ofher darling boy, and marking with a mother's pride the careless grace of bis bounding limbs ? a cold haud seemed clutch¬ ing at her heart, a dark shadow to vail the sunlight, aud with tears glistning on her cheek ahe slowly turns and wander a from room to room reatleaa and unhappy.
Hurrah I school's out; merry shonts ring through the air, as troop after troop of noisy boys come rushing into the atreet; facea blooming, eyes bright with joy aud smilea, for sohool is out au hour earlier than nanal and they are brimful of fun and glee.
Hark! tbere ia a clamor, a scattering o{ timid boya aa a frightened horse comes dash¬ ing madly through the streets—a wild pier¬ cing shriek and little Charlie has fallen be¬ neath those murderous hoofs. There he lies, his sunny ringlets trailing in the dust, their glossy beauty sadly marred by the crimson drops slowly welling from that cruel wound! a stifled sob, au upward look of the gentle eyes o'er which tbe death-film haa already gathered, and those roay lipa still warm with a mother's kiss are stilled in death. Alns 1 who will dare tell tbat desolate mother the fearful tale ?
The honse is very quiet now, so very quiet, cold, and dark, although the warm sunlight comes daucing through the vines that drape tbe window; the aunny slopes are rosy with tho blossoming peach, the cherry-trees have pnt on their aurplicea of anow, while bird- notes come rippling through the leavea like the •* prattle of merry ohildren." But he whose voice waa sweetest, whose artless talk made musio iu that darkened home, lies hushed and still, hia golden ringlets tenderly ' laid back from a cheek no louger blooming, but cold and damp aa marble, hia handa like folded lilies placed upon his breaat "with dewy buds between."
His uaeleas cap hangs in the hall, booka and toys are tossed upon the table as he had left them in his childish play; a few violets, the firat of the seaaon, wbich Charlie had found and bronght in to mamma, are smiling in their beauty aa fresh and joyous aa if tbe little hand that plucked them was not oold in deatfa.
Bear little Cfaarlie, you will never be sorry again J the smile tbat dwells upon those placid lips tells of a glorioua home in Paradise, where there shall be no more aorrow, no more tears.
Fold back tbe ringlets from the dear one'a bead, Strew Bummer bloomi above the pallid broaet,
Tben breathe a prayer, wbila burning tears ara ebed. And gently bear him to his dreamless rest.
"Oh, Qod I thon who doat temper the wind to the shorn lamb," have meroy upon that stricken mother, now suffering a bitter¬ neaa beyond the pangs of death, for there is no greater anguish tban the remembrance of an unkind word, a wrong done to loved ones sleeping the silent sleep with the kiss of death npon their brow, the utter impotenoy of onr yearning love to claap them from the grave, and bring baok smilea to eyes that will never amile again, and worda of foi^veneaa from pallid lips now hushed forever.

How mucli should we show onr Pupils ?
Some pnpils require little or no assistanoe in the preparation of their leaaons. Others, again, reqnire mnoh attention, and would be conatantly calling for help if permitted.— Then, tbe aame pupils require freqaent asais- tance, in some uf their studies and none in others. How far to aid them in this waTi ia an important question. If they are assisted too muoh, they will not depeud npon tbem¬ selves, and they will beoome weak and help- leas ; wanting in energy and perseverance. Ou the othet hand, if they are not assisted, they will, or may, beoome diaoouraged ; thinking that if the teaoher doea not care enongh about it to help them, when they canH get along themaelves, there is no nae in their trying.
'I declare, our teaoher Is the meanest teacher ever was. She won't show us one bit, how to do our hard sums. She just wauts to keep us in. She gives ns great long lessons, and then won't ahow ns one bit abont them, and then, if we misa any, down goea our names to be kept in. I do wouder if she ever had so oross a teacher when she waa a girl and wunt to school? I have tried, and tried, to-day, to do my auma, aud asked her, two or three timea, to ahow me, and ahe jnat saya I oan do them eaay enough. And I can't, for I don't understand them. I won't try any more: and if she keeps me in, she may; I donH oare a bit."
" Father, wonJt you please to explain this question to me ? I don't know how to flud the negative roots. I asked my teaoher to ahow me and he won't do it. He haa not ahown one in our class this whole winter. And some of the boya have left the class, because they could not get along, and he wonld not sbow them." " I wonld willingly show yon, but it haa been ao long since I did anything at algebra, that I have nearly for¬ gotten all about it. It would be almost im¬ possible to aid you now. How have you been getting over your difficulties heretofore ?"— "James Brown showed ua aud his fatber showed him. But he haa left school, aud gone to the cimntry, so we have no one to help ua now." " Well, if you can't get along you will have to give it up, for I oannot aid you now." " I hate to give it up, for there were flfteen in our class at first, aud now there are ouly four. I dou't like the idea of giving it up. If I ouly had this explained I think I could go ou " "My son, I am aorry I oauuot assist yon. Tell yonr teacher kind¬ ly and perhaps be will abow you." " No sir, I kuow he will not, for we have asked him over and again." "Then you will have to givo it up. Yon may bave another teacher next winter and you can go on with it theu."
These are no fanoy skelches, but actnal occurancea ; and the legitimate resultof snch a selfish and repulsive course. Of sucb teachera the qneation has often been asked us, " what aro teachers for, if they won't teach the children? Is it uot the duty of teachera to explain to tbe children's compre¬ hension, what they cannot understand of their lesson as it is laid dowu in their books ?"— We have answered " it ia most cleariy tbe duty of every teaoher to endeavour to make each and every lesson thoroughly un¬ derstood before entering upon annther." We can conceive of uo good argument for obsti¬ nately refusing to give pupils auy explana¬ tions.
While we hold that it is the absolute and imperative dnty of every teacher, to give that aid which may be neceasary for the healthy and proper advancement of hia pupila ; yet, we also believe that too mnch help ia very deleterious to the scholars, true advancement iu knowledge. Trey ahould be made to work enough, at tbe acquisition of the beantifnl truths they may be learning, to make them empathatically their own. If they are poured iuto them, witbout any labor ou their part, they will make but little impreaaion upon their minds; and consequently,:be soon forgot¬ ten. "Come easy, go easy,"ia a common axiom in regard to money aud is eqnally true in regard to acquiring knowledge, if suoh pouring in processes, be worthy of sucb an appellation.
By carefully watching the effect of onr " showing how," upon the mind of the ohild we may be enabled to so grade it as to bring about the greateat good. But either extreme ia to be most sedulously avoided, as deleter¬ ious to the child's welfare.
The Educational Depabtmest in our con¬ temporary the " Union " has now come under the charge of our esteemed friend Ezer Lam¬ bom, for many years a practical teacher. He is a ready writer, a devoted teacher, aud a faithful laborer in the cause of education. Uuder his supervision we havo no hesitation in aaying that thia department will be made quite intereating to the teacher aud the friend of education. We accordingly recommend it to the attention of the teachers of ourcounty. We are in need of atill more atteution to the subject of schoola and school ethics. And the increaae of Educational colnmns, and educational intereat, ia a cheering sign of the times. Let theae columns increase, and mul¬ tiply, and replenish the earth, with richest school treasures. We wish succeas to our worthy frieud, and a fnnd of pleaanre in his weekly chat with the teachers of the connty, and patrona of the ** Union."

The Importance of Athletic Exercises.
The gjmtiasmm waa quite as essential a portion or Greek edncation as the school room^aud the limbs of the yoatU and even of grown men were as vigoronaly trained in athletic exercises as their brains in arith¬ metic, rhetoric and pbilosopliy. It waa a wise and sonnd policy which, led tha ancients thus to value the bodily health and vigor that are to be gained by good physical train¬ ing ; and the minds and frames of men now- a-daya would be far healthier and their lives far happier if the same honor were paid to skill and strength in phyaical excercises, and if the whole popalation were aa carefally aided and encouraged in thepuraaitof active sports as were the citizena of the Greek re- pnblica. Oar cotemporaries have, indeed, far more need of such physical edacation than the ancients had. The work of anoient days waa generally agricaltaral; men aeldom were called npon to labor in-doors, and the toil of the fanner, or hardships of the sailor and soldier, served to develop the limbs and atrengthen the sinews of a race among whom the Olympic victors were held in honor.— Bat while men labor in close workshops or ill-ventiiatttd factories and while children are brought np to labor at the loom from the age of 9 or 10 years, we are almost utterly care¬ less of the duty of providiug them with the proper means of bodily exercise and proper encouragement to nse these means.— We build schools for the yonng; we patronize meohanics* institutes for the adult. We pro¬ vide kooka, Btoola and desks to fnmish tbe mind!^ and acoustom the body to sedentary habits. Bat we are little sedulous to supply oar schools with playgrounds, or to furniab the working classes with healthfal and strengthening recreations.
