\Ve will state it. and it will show the care and
the foresiglit and the wisdom of the great Crea-

and other things are enlarged by li(.‘8l,'lJlll water
is eiilargcd by cold. A quart of water when
frozen makes a piece of ice much larger than
can be put into ti quart cup. ‘
Now. wliy did the Creator make tliisone great
exception to his ,t1€'ltC‘l‘¢']l law. For this reason.
If water. V\llt’.‘!l trtalting into ice. grew less in
bulk, the ice would sin/.:.to the bottom oftlie lake

water in a less space would be heavier than the

not thaw more than four or live feel ofit. Our
i\Iorgan. settled upon lftt; fvf()ltt)l1g‘dfJt.'.'u- ...=..¢.-
during the early part oftbe revoltitionary war.
and ventured to occupy a cabin at the distaiice
of several miles from any settlement. One
morning. having sent his younger cliildren otit
to his field, at zi considerable distance frotn the
cabin he became uneasy about tlietn. and repair-
ed to the field, armed as usual, with his rifle.
where he found tlteni. VVltile setting on the
fence, giving them some directions concerning
the work. lteobscrved two Indians upon thentlier
side of the field. gazing earnestly upon himself
and children. He instantly called to the latter
to run home, while he covered their retreat.-—
Tlte Indians had the deciied advantage over
Mr. Morgan, not only two to one. but he was
about 70 years of age, and of course unable to
contend with his enemy in running. The cabin
was* more than 11 mile distant; but the children.
having tipvt-'ardsol'200 yardsthe start,and being
effectually covered by their rather, they were
soon so far in front that the Iritliansturtied their
attention entirely to Morgan liimself. The old
irtzin ran for several htiiidredyards with an
activity which astonished liiuiself. But per-
ceiving that be would be overtaken long liefore
he cotild reach the cabin, he fairly turned at bay
with the enemy, and prepared for a serious re-
sistance.
The woods through which they were running
were very thinly covered with small saplitws.
behind which it was impossible to obtain shelter.
Among; them. standing like a patriarch, was a
large black jack._which Morgan. after passing
about ten steps determined to regain. The In
tlians were startled at this sudden advance to-
wardstlziem, and halted among the saplings. be-
hind which they strove to shelter theittslves.
This however was impossible; and Morgan.
who was an excellent marksman, saw enough
oftlte body ofone to justify a sltot. He took de-
liberate aim. ptilled the trigger. and the Indian
fell mortally wounded.
The other Indian, taking advantage of Mor-
gan's empty gun. spratig from ltisshelter and
advanced rapidly upon ltim. The old man.
having no time to reload. was compelled to fly
a second time ; but being almost exhausted, the
Indian gained‘ rapidly upon him, and when
witltin twenty yards, fired. but without ellect.
