DIISCELLANY.
THE NOCTURNAL RESCUE.
“Le vrai n'est pas ionjouis le vraisemblable-.’>
It was on a stormy night in the month of
Julie, that a ‘oenighted traveller was travers-
ing one of those dark, imperiious forests. 50
common in the western part ofAnicrica. He
was attended by a coloured servant, who fol-
lowed hiin closely as he slowly thierided a de-
vious pathway, often obstructed by brairihlcs,
or perplexed by a thick undergro\vtli- At
]9ngtl1 the track became so narrow, that Mr.
Orinsby, (for that was the geutlemai_i's naine,)
began to apprehend he had lost his way --
“ Sambo,” said he to his servant, “ did they
not tell us at the last public house that the
way was hard to find. but that we must always
turn to the left?” “I believe so,Massa," was
the laconic reply. Presently the jaded horse
of Mr. Ornisby, actut lly stood still with wea-
riness, and his rider, after endeavoring to en-
courage him to proceed by gentle solicitations
with the bridle, was forced, rt-luctantly to ap-
ply the spur. Just at that instant, the forest
--choed with piercing shrieks, plainly proceed-
ng from a human voice, apparently in some
xtremity of distress.
“Hark, Sambo,” said the gentleman,
v‘ There surely is some person ill,or otherwise
a danger, near us!” “’Tis punter, Massif.
aiiter, sure as you born," said the negro, his
eeth chattering audibly with terror,--“better
-ide on. Massa !” “ "l‘ls no panther, you silly
fellow, but some human creatures in distress.
I must go and attempt to succour them." At
this proposition, the servant gave way to the
violence ofliis alarm; “ Oh Massal Massa!
vou go after panter, he tetir you to pieces.-
Hegcry like chihl, to catch poor folks and eat
‘em. Oh, dont go Massa! Missee charge me,
the say, Sambo, take care of Mas:-ta !”
During this hari-angue, thesshrieks contin-
ued, and Mr. Orinsby examined his fire arms
to see if they were loaded ; without regarding
the expo-stulations of his servant, he dismount-
rd, and throwing the bridle of his horse to
‘Sambo, he dashed into the wood, in the d.rec—
:l0I‘l ofthe cries.
“ Sambo," said he, “ be silent and you will
be safe, but ifyou yell out in your usualf-.ish-
on, you may chance to lose your life."-—'I‘lio
term was becoming violent. The wind
wept through the forest, bending the flexible
rees to the earth, and tearing offhuge boughs
rem those which resisted its fury. Loud
iursts of thunder were reveberated from the
djacent hills, and streams of vivid lightning
arted through the skies. illuminating‘ the
-loomy recesses ofthe forest. Mr. Ormsby
-aused for a moment. He felt that there was
.anger in his purpose,and yettlie continuance
fthe shrieks still urged him forward. The
rind, which had sw._-pt with awful violence at
,5 first rising. now seemed to abate its fury,
liough still it sighed and moaned, fearfully
mong the crashing branches. Mr. ()rmsby
~.,-solutely pressed forward, holding a pistol
.-eady for instant use in his right hand, and
pulling asidethe bending boughs and shaggy
mdergrowth with the other. At length, he
ncounlered a. thicket so completely inacces-
ible to human footsteps, that he paused and
vent his ear in the directicn of the shrieks.-—
I'he thunder had rolled a long and violent
veal far away, so that the cries were distinct-
y audible. These appeared to increase in
eudness and length, till one tremendous yell
losed the paroxysm, and Mr. Ormsby listen-
din vain for another. Presently a weak,
-iw cry, resembling that of an infant, was
.eard distinctly. .Iambo's warning now oc-
urred to his master's mind witlisome perplex-
He knew that the panther was said to
initate an infant’s cry, to allure his prey.—
Just as this thouglilit occurred, a vivid flash of
lightning revealed to him a white object on
the ground, not ten steps from the spot where
he stood. Mr, Ormsby darted forward and
iczcd the object, which proved, to his astoii-
shnient, to be the very infant whose cries he
had heard. He folded it in his arms, and hast-
ened back to depo.~it.it with Sambo, being a-
ware that he stood no chance of achieving a
perilous adventure thus enciiinbered. The
honest negro uttered an exclamation of joy,
when he heard his master’s well known step
returning from the wood. But it was with
difliculty he could be prevailed upon to touch
the infant, being thoroughly persuaded that it
_was_ no human creature, but apantcr, or a
spirit.
By this time the rain began to pour downin
l°“'9m5a and like darkness became so deep,
that Mr. Ormsby resolved to make his way
out of the the wood with all possible expcdj-

preparatory to commencing his nt‘-gttlltltlflns
wiili the hostile tribes. Among the females
nflhe wigwain, was a white woman, whose
complexion had attained a tawny line, from
long exposure to the wind and sun; but who,
nevertheless, retained the language and inan-
ners of her own nation. She seemed partic_u-
larly desirous to enter into conversation with
her countrymen, and Col. Oimsby contrived
'0 have a secret interview with her, in wt icli
she implored him to take her back to civil'zt-rd
life. “I have no kindred living, that I know
of,” said she, “ but still, I ardtntly desire to
return to a stale ofsociety, congenial with my
tastes and early habits. For sixteen years
I have remained here in willing exile, but
the motive which detained me, no longer
t-xists. l was attaclicd, by the strongest
lies of gratitude, to an old chief, who died
about a month ago. and I am now at liberty
to quit this settlement whenever I please. I
was born with good prospects, being the only
child ofa wealthy and respectable citizen. of
Piiil-atlelpnia. But it was my misfortune to
form an attachment to a specious young man,
who induced me to el ipe from the most indul-
gent of father's. VVhen my husband found
that this act ofdisohcdieiice had occasioned
my being disiiilierited, he soon betrayed his
motives for seeking a connexion with ine.—
His conduct was at first unkind, and when
my father actually died without forgiving me,
and left his estate to another, the wrath ofmy
tyrant disdained even the restraints of coin-
inon decency. l\'evertlic-less, he forced me
to accompany him in an expedition to one of
the VVestern States, and accordingly, we set
off with an infant ofeight months old, on our
toilsome and dangerous journey. After trav-
elling ten days onward, we suddenly entered
a lracltless forest, and I began first to suspect
from the demetinior of my husband, that. he
intended to destroy me. There arose a
dreadful storm, and iiig-ht came on us in cir-
cumstances ofheart-reiiding distress. Tho
fiend. for surely he was not a man, who had
thus inveiglcd me to destruction, iiicn tin-
nounced his purpose in plain and clear terms.
My terror d: prived me of all pretence ofmind,
and he tore my infant from my arms, dashed
it on the earth, and dragged me after him in-
to a liorrihlc thicket, which seemed to be thr
abode of will beasts. I shrieked, but alas !
no sound replied t3 my agony, but the terrific
thunder which seemed to shake the firm earth
to its centre. Just as the wretcli was about
to stab me to the he-art, an Indian buist from
the thicket, and wrested me from his grasp.
A struggle ensued, in which my tyrant receiv-
ed his death stroiie. During this horrid con-
flict, I fainted, and did not recover, until my
.leli'verer had borne me to a place of refuge.—'
At my desire, he returned to search for my
babe, bat alas ! the wild beasts lriid destroyed
it, for we had heard their yells, even above
the uproar oftlie teinpcst.
‘‘ The agony I had undergone, occasioned
ateiriporary alienation of my reason. The
good old chief, ilito whose hands I had fallen,
conducted me safely to this settlement, where
I remained ten years in a state of partial, but
harmless derangement. At length, a white
physician happened to call here, on a tour
through the VVestern settlement. He saw,
and pitied my condition. After using such
remedies as his skill suggested, I recovered
the use of my estranged faculties, and would
have gladly returned iiith him to" my former
grade in society. But my Clellverer |.nd by
tlils time, fallen into many painful iiifirmities,
and I could not desert him without base in-
gratitude. The physician who restored me
to ieason,wns also a \‘issicnar_i,' preacher, and
he directed my renovated mind towards the
only subject that can properly occupy the ex-
clnsive attention of an iiilelligcnt being. I
became a Christian, and in that blessed faith,
found a remedy for all my miseries. It was
my task from thistiine, to impart the informa-
lion 1 had received to others. My benei‘a¢lo,-
listened, with partial 8fIi.‘(:tl()Il. to my accounts
oflhc holy truths sent from heaven for the
benefit of erring man. I had theineffable de-
light of seeing him resign his breath with a
fullhope ofgospel szilvation. Since his death,
I have been earnestly desirous of returning to
a state ofcivilized society. Ifyoii will under-
take to be my protector, Sir, I will attend you
willingly."
Col. Orinsby listened to this narritive with
breathless i:.t)rest. When it was concluded,
he asked the femtile,on what day of the month,
and year, she had encountered her tratrical ad-
veture in the firest. She replied witlibiit lies-
itation, and the Colonel found the date cor.
responded exactly with his own nocturnaljour-
ncy through the foscst. He then felt assured
that the mother of his adopted child was be.

GYPSIIKI, OR PLASTER OF PARIS.
Hlsiory infoirns as that the Uilllly Pf
Gypsum for grass, was first discovered in
Get many by a labourer at the quarry, pas-
sing across a meadow to shorten the dis-
iance home, discovered the luxurianceof
grass, where he had t.‘aVt‘.l(-.‘d,?ll‘l(I. imagin-
ing that the dustofGypsum from his clothes
must have been the cause; tried the ex-
periment, and the event answeied his ex-
pectatioiis.
some time after, a keg of it was sent to
America, to Mi‘. Jacob Barge ofPhlltidcl-
min, and it soon came into use in that part
of Pennsylvania, where they value it very
highly, &even suppose that the hay is bet-
ter which is produced by it. _
It is however said that gypsum will not
pl oniote vegetation so much near the ocean
or in any place where it can be de'com-
posed by particles of sea salt. Phat
may be so, yet it has sometiines done well
near the sea in dry seasons, and its effects
are not so visible any wlieri: in wet sea-
sons. My own practice has been 1'_(’ miles
distant from Long Island sound, where my
first use ofii far exceeded my lnost san-
guine expectations.
In the Spring of 1796, I sent to New-
York,&. iblailicd a l)'rlt‘l't'l ol'_Gypsnm which
had been imported from France, and in
May and Julie sowed it on dill'e ent soils,
and several kinds ofcrops, and it pl'Utlut'-Cd
wonderful t-fleets gt-.ni-rtill_v. I put some
of it on liidiuii corn after the first having,
and left 5 rows through the middle ofthe
field which was iiol plaistered, which did
not produce more than one, on either side,
owing in some measure to the griibs having
left the corn where the plaister had been
used, and gone on to those five runs
which some miles distant, looked like a
for the corn was exceedingly poor, and
from 20 to 50 grubs under each hill, & not
at grub to he folind under the hills which
had been plastered.
The flux and potatoes were much bene-
titled by plaster, but the wheat, rye, barley
&. oats did not shoiv the benefit much; yet
the grass was visibly better some years af-
ter the crops were taken off.
The utility of Gypsum appealing so
manifest induced me to use it freely, and
the next Spring sent corn, cider, &c. to
Passaniaquody and bought 10 tons. I used
the greatest part of ii the same year. I
generally put about3 bush. on an acre at
that time, because they used as much as
that on an acre in Pennsylvania, but 2
bushels are thought now to be sufficieiit.
A whim has gone abroad that it in_jures
land, but the eiicyclopedies say that it does
iioi, more than stable manure.
Tliey have used it in Penusylvaiiia more
than sixty years, and still value it highly as
at lnanuic. It has been used near -'10 liere,
and yet we have many farmers among u-
who chose to be half a century behind oili-
eis in improvements, who have not yet
ventured in try it : but as it is now plenty &
cheap, »I would advise farniers at least to
run the risk of trying it.
Those who have used it plentifully and
repeatedly on the same lands will not find
so much benefit by using it again, as they
did at firsi,yet it is a good maniirc, even in
those cases. I have not generally used
the Gypsum oftener ilian once in 6, 8 or
10 years on the same land, unless it might
be a little when the land was tilled, to roll
the grain in, or a little to put on ii, not ex-
cceding one bushel to the acre.
We have generally rolled Indian corn
in it before planting, after soaking ii awhile
in tar water, which is made by putting half
zi gill of tar into 2 gallons of water, or in
that proportion, stirring it well, just to
make the watera little sticky, and the plus
ier will adher to the kernels much better;
and the birds and insects will not meddle
with it ;( on much tar may prevent veget-
ation.) We then put on from halfa bush-
el to a bushel of plaster on air acre, af.er
first lioeing, and the crop will generally be
doubled by using the plaster unless it be
a wet season, when. the difference will not
be great; yet you may see where the corn
hills were, some years after the land is laid
down to grass. Same say it is best to sow
a bushel on an acre of grziss land eve y
year, but its (~’lil.'cl5 being visible several
years, I have not practised in that way.
The Nova Scotia Plaster is not all of it
equally good, or even that which is brought
from France, but the imported is the best ;
yet the differi-lice is not great, and as the
Nova SCUIL1 is the cheapest, I generally
use it, unless when we send to New York
for it, we buy that which was imported.
Itought to be ground in fair weatlier,
& sowed soon after grinding, or else it may
become lutiiy, and need wiisliing or running
through the mill again. Still damp weath-
er is the hesl for sowing it, that it may not
blow away; and it will sow better, &. last
longer, if it is not ground excessively fine.
It may be sown in Spring or Autumn, but
vegetation ought to have time to come for-
ward be-foie it is sown. _Its effects-will be
most visible on l.ind which has been re-
cently laid down to herds grass & clover;
but ifii is mowing ground, it is to mow it
once before the Gypsum is put on, for fear
it may niakn the clover lodge down, but
the 2-1 year the herds grass will support it.
It is well to sow it as soon as the hay is
taken off, forii will collect moisture, and
keep the land from being parched, from
the intense heat of the sun, which is fre-
quently the case at that season of the year.
It is sometimes sewn on old sward where
it cannot well be plouglied, though it will
not do much the'firsl year or two, yet the
second or third year it will show itself, &.
