THE BOY HEROES: “. A SKETCH OF EARLY WESTERN EIFE, © When Kentucky was an infant State, and before the foot of civilization had’ trodden her giant forests, there lived upon a branch of the Green River, an old hunter <by the name of John Slater. His hut was upon the Southern.bank of. the stream. and save aj ; small patch of some dozen acres that had been . cleared by ‘His own axe. he was shut up by . 'dense forests.—Slater had two children at; : Sheet and tied the corner of it to the staple . by which the window washooked. The sheet . ' was then lowered on the ontside. and care. fully the brave boy let himself out upon it. . . He enjoined his brother not to move, and . home with:him—two sons, Philip and Daniel —the former fourteen and the latter twelve . years of age. His elder children had gone His wife was with him. but she had been for several yearsan almost helpldss cripple from the effects of severe rheumatism. It was early in the spring. and the old hunter had just returned from} Columbia, where he had been to carry produce of the winter's labor, which consisted mostly of furs. He had receited quite @suth 6Ptioney, and had bronght it home with him. The old man had for several years been accumulating money, . for civilization was gradually approaching him. and he meant that his children should start on fair terms with the world. One evening. just as the family were sitting down to their frugal supper, they were attracted by a sudden howling of the dogs, and as Slater went to the door to see what ing his hut. gers approached the decor. something to eat. and also for lodgings for the night. John Slater was not the man to refuse a request of that kind, and he asked the strangers in. They set their rifles behind . made for them at supper table. . sented themselves as travellers bound farther . West, int nding to cross the Mississippi in search of a settlement. The new comers were far from being agreegenerally. East of Masonic Hall, Main strect. 2 tf OBERTS, E. W., Attorney at Law and Notary Public, Rough & Ready, Nevada county, 24 tf Cal.

The boys, however. did not lke their appearance at ali, . and quick glances which they gave each other . told their feelings. The hunter’s wife was not . at the table, but she sat in her great easy . chair by the fire. ! Slater entered into conversation with the guests, but they were not very free, and after a while the talk dwindled to occasional quesi tions. Philip, the elder of the two. noticed . that the men cast uneasy glances about the room, and he watched them narrowly. His . fears had become excited. and he could not lrest. He knew that his father had a large sum of money in the house, and his first thought was that these men were there for the purpose of robbery. After the supper was over, the boys quickly cleared off the table, and then they went out of doors. It had become dark. or rather the night had fairly set in. for there wasa bright moon, two-thirds full, shining down . upon the forest. “Daniel.” said Philip, in a low whisper. at . the same time casting a look over his shoulder, “what do you think of these ’ere men ?”’ ! “I’m afraid they’re bad ones,” returned . . the young boy. “Soam I. I believe they mean to steal father’s money. Didn’t you notice how they . looked round?” “Ves. “So did I. If we should tell father what we think, he would only laugh at us, and tell us we were perfect scare-crows.” “But we can watch ’em.” “Yes. we will watch ’em, but do not let them know it.” The boys held some further consultation, 'and then going to the dog house, they set the small door back. so that the hounds might spring forth if they were wanted. If they had desired to speak with their father about their suspicions. they had no chance, for the strangers sat close by him all the evening. At length, however, the old man signified his intention of retiring, and arose to go out of doors, to see the state of affairs without.— The three followed him, but they did not take their weapons! The old lady was asleep in the chair. “Now.”’ whispered Philip, “let’s take two of father’s rifles up to our bed,—we may want them. We are as good as men with the rifle.” Daniel sprang to obey, and quickly as possible the boys slipped two rifles from their . pockets behind the great stove chimney, and was the matter, he saw three men approach. ? He quickly quicted the dogs, and the stran. They asked for . the door, unslung their packs. and room was . They repre. — _. then hastened back and emptied the priming from the strangers’ rifles, and when their father and the strangers returned, they had resumed their seats. The bunter’s cabin was divided into two. apartments on the ground floor, one of them in th® end of the building being the old man’s sleeping room, and the other the room in which the company at present sat. Overhead there was a sort of scaffolding, reaching only half-way over the large room below it, and in the opposite end of the building from the little sleeping apartment of the hunter. A rough ladder led up tothe scaffold. and on it, close up to the gable end, was the boys’ bed. There was no partition at the edge of this scaffolding, but it was all epen to the room below. Spare bedding was spread upon the floor of the kitchen for the three travellers, and ‘ after everything had been arranged for their comfort, the boys went up to their Led, and the old man retired to his little room. they did. it was only to avoid it. Half-anhour had passed away, and they could hear their father snore. Then they heard a movemeut from those below. Philip crawled silently to where he could peep down through a crack, and saw one of the men open his pack, from which he took several pieces of raw meat by the rays of the moun, and moving towards the window, he shoved the sash . back and threw the pieces of flesh to the dogs. Then he went back to his bed and laid down. At first the boy thought that this might be thrown to the dogs only to distract their at. tention ; but; when the man laid down, the . idea of poison flashed through Phillip’s mind, . He whispered his thoughts to his brother. . The first impulse of little Daniel as he heard that his poor dogs were to be poisoned, was to cry out, but a sudden pressure from the hand of his brother kept him silent. At‘the end of the. boys’ bed there was a dark window, a small square door, and as it was directly over the dogs’ house, Philip xesolved.te go down and save the dogs. The undertaking was a dangerous one; for the least noise would arouse the villains—and . the consequence might be fatal. But Philip . Slater found himself strong in heart, and he . determined upon the trial. His father’s life . might be in his hands! This thought was a . tower of strength ip itself. Philip opened the window without moving . from the bed. and it swung upon its leather . hinges without noise. Then he threw off the . then he slid noiselcssly down. The hounds ‘had just found the meat, and they drew back . at their yonng master’s beck, and PhiJip gath‘ered the flesh all up. He easily quieted the . . faithful Brutes, and then he quickly tied the meat up in the sheet. There was a light ladder standing near the dog house. and setting way back to his little loft. and when once safely there he pulled the sheet in after him. The strangers had not been aroused. and ‘with a beating heart the boy thanked God. He had performed an act. simple as it may . appear. at which a stout heart would have ;quailed. The dogs growled as they went . beard them. they thought the poor animals were growling over the repast they had found. and all was quiet. An hour passed away, and so did another, It must have been nearly midnight when the men moved again, and the lad Philip saw the rays of a candle flash up through the-cracks of the floor on which crack where he could peep down, but at that moment he heard a man upon the ladder. He uttered a quick whisper to his brother, and they lay perfectly still. The man came to the top of the ladder, and held his light up so he could look upon the boys. seemed to be perfectly satisfied that they were asleep. for he soon returned to the ground floor, and then Philip crept to the crack. Hesaw the men take knives, and he heard them whispering. ‘We'll kill the old man and woman first.” said one of them, “and then we'll hunt the money. If those little brats up there (pointing to the scaffold) wake up, we can easily take care of them.” “But we must kill them all,”’ said another of the villians. “Yes,” returned the speaker. “but the young ones first; they may make a noise, and start the old man up.” Philip’s heart beat with horror. “Down the ladder outside! quick!” he whispered to h's brother. “Down, and start up the dogs! throw it open—it isn’t fastened! Oh, do let the dogs in the house as gu’ck as you can! I'l] lock out for father while you go.”’ Daniel quickly crawled out through the little window. and Philip seized a rifle and crept to the head of the scaffold. Two of the villoins were just approaching the door of his father’s room. They had set the candle down on the floor, so that its light would fall into the bed-room as the door was openback. and rested the muzzle upon the edge of the boards. One of the men had his hand upon the latch. The boy-hero uttered a single word of heartfelt prayer, and then he pulled the trigger. The villain whose hand cry, and then fell upon the floor. had passed through his brain. For an instant the two remaining villains were confounded, but they quickly compreThe bullet my and they sprang for the ladder. They did not reach it. however, for at that instant the outer door was flung open and the hounds —four in number—sprang into the house. With a deep, wild yell, the animals leaped upon the villains, and they had drawn them upon the floor just as the old hunter came from hisroom. ‘Help us! help us! father.” cried Philip, as he hurried down the ladder. “T’ve shot one of them! They are murderers! robbers! Hold ’em! hold ’em!” the boy continued, clapping his hands tothe dogs. Old Slater comprehended the nature of the scene ina moment and sprang to the spot where the hounds had the two men upon the floor. The villains had both lost their knives, this up against the building, Philip made his . back into their kennel. and if the strangers . At length the hounds ceased the'r noise, . stood his bed.

They rested a moment the body o. him who hadsbeen hot, and @en turned upon the boys. ip old him that had happened.” It seegned some tj fore the old hunter could crowd the w tecming truth through his mind ; but as “he gradually. comprehended it all, a soft, grateful. proud light broke over his features, and he held his arms out to his sons. “Noble, noble boys!’ he uttered. as he clasped the “God bless you for this!

Buta change has suddenly come over affairs. Gold has been discovered, and the Cape. so long unfortunate, promises to bea second Califcrnia or Australia. The mines are said to exist between Table Bay and the Orange River. Pieces of pure gold. it. is affirmed, have been dug up; and specime:s «rs aires found also by washing as well asin in auegets.

THE BOY HEROES: “.. A SKETCH OF EARLY WESTERN EIFE, © When Kentucky was an infant State, and before the foot of civilization had’ trodden her giant forests, there lived upon a branch of the Green River, an old hunter <by the name of John Slater. His hut was upon the Southern.bank of. the stream. and save aj ; small patch of some dozen acres that had been . cleared by ‘His own axe. he was shut up by . 'dense forests.—Slater had two children at; : Sheet and tied the corner of it to the staple . by which the window washooked. The sheet .

He enjoined his brother not to move, and . home with:him—two sons, Philip and Daniel —the former fourteen and the latter twelve . years of age. His elder children had gone His wife was with him. but she had been for several yearsan almost helpldss cripple from the effects of severe rheumatism. It was early in the spring. and the old hunter had just returned from} Columbia, where he had been to carry produce of the winter's labor, which consisted mostly of furs. He had receited quite @suth 6Ptioney, and had bronght it home with him. The old man had for several years been accumulating money, . for civilization was gradually approaching him. and he meant that his children should start on fair terms with the world. One evening. just as the family were sitting down to their frugal supper, they were attracted by a sudden howling of the dogs, and as Slater went to the door to see what ing his hut. gers approached the decor. something to eat. and also for lodgings for the night. John Slater was not the man to refuse a request of that kind, and he asked the strangers in. They set their rifles behind . made for them at supper table. . sented themselves as travellers bound farther . West, int nding to cross the Mississippi in search of a settlement.

The boys, however. did not lke their appearance at ali, . and quick glances which they gave each other . told their feelings. The hunter’s wife was not . at the table, but she sat in her great easy . chair by the fire. ! Slater entered into conversation with the guests, but they were not very free, and after a while the talk dwindled to occasional quesi tions. Philip, the elder of the two. noticed . that the men cast uneasy glances about the room, and he watched them narrowly. His . fears had become excited. and he could not lrest. He knew that his father had a large sum of money in the house, and his first thought was that these men were there for the purpose of robbery. After the supper was over, the boys quickly cleared off the table, and then they went out of doors. It had become dark. or rather the night had fairly set in. for there wasa bright moon, two-thirds full, shining down . upon the forest. “Daniel.” said Philip, in a low whisper. at . the same time casting a look over his shoulder, “what do you think of these ’ere men ?”’ ! “I’m afraid they’re bad ones,” returned . . the young boy. “Soam I. I believe they mean to steal father’s money. Didn’t you notice how they . looked round?” “Ves. “So did I. If we should tell father what we think, he would only laugh at us, and tell us we were perfect scare-crows.” “But we can watch ’em.” “Yes. we will watch ’em, but do not let them know it.” The boys held some further consultation, 'and then going to the dog house, they set the small door back. so that the hounds might spring forth if they were wanted. If they had desired to speak with their father about their suspicions. they had no chance, for the strangers sat close by him all the evening. At length, however, the old man signified his intention of retiring, and arose to go out of doors, to see the state of affairs without.— The three followed him, but they did not take their weapons! The old lady was asleep in the chair. “Now.”’ whispered Philip, “let’s take two of father’s rifles up to our bed,—we may want them. We are as good as men with the rifle.” Daniel sprang to obey, and quickly as possible the boys slipped two rifles from their . pockets behind the great stove chimney, and was the matter, he saw three men approach. ? He quickly quicted the dogs, and the stran. They asked for . the door, unslung their packs. and room was . They repre. — _. then hastened back and emptied the priming from the strangers’ rifles, and when their father and the strangers returned, they had resumed their seats. The bunter’s cabin was divided into two. apartments on the ground floor, one of them in th® end of the building being the old man’s sleeping room, and the other the room in which the company at present sat. Overhead there was a sort of scaffolding, reaching only half-way over the large room below it, and in the opposite end of the building from the little sleeping apartment of the hunter. A rough ladder led up tothe scaffold. and on it, close up to the gable end, was the boys’ bed. There was no partition at the edge of this scaffolding, but it was all epen to the room below. Spare bedding was spread upon the floor of the kitchen for the three travellers, and ‘ after everything had been arranged for their comfort, the boys went up to their Led, and the old man retired to his little room. they did. it was only to avoid it. Half-anhour had passed away, and they could hear their father snore. Then they heard a movemeut from those below. Philip crawled silently to where he could peep down through a crack, and saw one of the men open his pack, from which he took several pieces of raw meat by the rays of the moun, and moving towards the window, he shoved the sash . back and threw the pieces of flesh to the dogs. Then he went back to his bed and laid down. At first the boy thought that this might be thrown to the dogs only to distract their at. tention ; but; when the man laid down, the . idea of poison flashed through Phillip’s mind, . He whispered his thoughts to his brother. . The first impulse of little Daniel as he heard that his poor dogs were to be poisoned, was to cry out, but a sudden pressure from the hand of his brother kept him silent. At‘the end of the. boys’ bed there was a dark window, a small square door, and as it was directly over the dogs’ house, Philip xesolved.te go down and save the dogs. The undertaking was a dangerous one; for the least noise would arouse the villains—and . the consequence might be fatal. But Philip . Slater found himself strong in heart, and he . determined upon the trial. His father’s life . might be in his hands! This thought was a . tower of strength ip itself. Philip opened the window without moving . from the bed. and it swung upon its leather . hinges without noise. Then he threw off the . then he slid noiselcssly down. The hounds ‘had just found the meat, and they drew back . at their yonng master’s beck, and PhiJip gath‘ered the flesh all up. He easily quieted the . . faithful Brutes, and then he quickly tied the meat up in the sheet. There was a light ladder standing near the dog house. and setting way back to his little loft. and when once safely there he pulled the sheet in after him. The strangers had not been aroused. and ‘with a beating heart the boy thanked God. He had performed an act. simple as it may . appear. at which a stout heart would have ;quailed. The dogs growled as they went . beard them. they thought the poor animals were growling over the repast they had found. and all was quiet. An hour passed away, and so did another, It must have been nearly midnight when the men moved again, and the lad Philip saw the rays of a candle flash up through the-cracks of the floor on which crack where he could peep down, but at that moment he heard a man upon the ladder. He uttered a quick whisper to his brother, and they lay perfectly still. The man came to the top of the ladder, and held his light up so he could look upon the boys. seemed to be perfectly satisfied that they were asleep. for he soon returned to the ground floor, and then Philip crept to the crack. Hesaw the men take knives, and he heard them whispering. ‘We'll kill the old man and woman first.” said one of them, “and then we'll hunt the money. If those little brats up there (pointing to the scaffold) wake up, we can easily take care of them.” “But we must kill them all,”’ said another of the villians. “Yes,” returned the speaker. “but the young ones first; they may make a noise, and start the old man up.” Philip’s heart beat with horror. “Down the ladder outside! quick!” he whispered to h's brother. “Down, and start up the dogs! throw it open—it isn’t fastened! Oh, do let the dogs in the house as gu’ck as you can! I'l] lock out for father while you go.”’ Daniel quickly crawled out through the little window. and Philip seized a rifle and crept to the head of the scaffold. Two of the villoins were just approaching the door of his father’s room. They had set the candle down on the floor, so that its light would fall into the bed-room as the door was openback. and rested the muzzle upon the edge of the boards. One of the men had his hand upon the latch. The boy-hero uttered a single word of heartfelt prayer, and then he pulled the trigger. The villain whose hand cry, and then fell upon the floor. had passed through his brain. For an instant the two remaining villains were confounded, but they quickly compreThe bullet my and they sprang for the ladder. They did not reach it. however, for at that instant the outer door was flung open and the hounds —four in number—sprang into the house. With a deep, wild yell, the animals leaped upon the villains, and they had drawn them upon the floor just as the old hunter came from hisroom. ‘Help us! help us! father.” cried Philip, as he hurried down the ladder. “T’ve shot one of them! They are murderers! robbers! Hold ’em! hold ’em!” the boy continued, clapping his hands tothe dogs. Old Slater comprehended the nature of the scene ina moment and sprang to the spot where the hounds had the two men upon the floor. The villains had both lost their knives, this up against the building, Philip made his . back into their kennel. and if the strangers . At length the hounds ceased the'r noise, . stood his bed.
