A Nlglit Attack.
I was still a young man, scarcely more
than a boy, in fact, when I left England
to become the partner of my old school
mate. Dick Merton,who had settled down
us a sheep-farmer in South America. Our
joint aud rather modest capital was in a
league of laud near Santa Fe, on the
I'ar&na, bought "for a song," on account
cf some defect in the title j also in a few
sheep, having tho lathy appearance, and
Almost the speed, of greyhounds ; and,
lastly, in the materials for our house, of
which, as we had ourselves had been the
architects, builders, aod clerks of the
work, we were not a little proud. It was
built of sun-baked bricks, and consisted
of oiiC tolerably large room, with a flat
roof and parapet, accessible from the in
Mle by means of a ladder. Around it, at
about "thirty yards' distance, we had dug
a Jeep dry ditch, crossed by a draw
bridge, and intended as a protection
.gainst surpri.-e by our enterprising
neighbor, the Indians. .The latter dusky
j;intlemeii had hitherto behaved them
selves verv much an such, and had con
fined thfir throat-cutting propensities to
certain strav sheep, instead of gratifying
them at the expense of the owners. But
uiriv tales wore still told of their doings
rn:n-I about us of white men taken
whilo riding in sight of home, and tor
tured ; of cattle driven off, aud sheep
-peared in very wantonness of mischief
which were not reassuring, and which
caused us to kec a particularly sharp
look-out, especially when, as now, the
Indian moon (their favorite time of at
tack) gave light enough to poiut the way
to plunder, but not to guide the aim of
the defender?.
Dick Merton, changed indeed since the
lay? when his word was law among a
tefect circle of 1'all Mall dandies, lounged
up to where I was standing. His cos
tume wa simple in the extreme, and
consisted merely of a sufficiently aged
pair of leather unmentionables aod a red
liar.nel shirt the whole being surmounted
and relieved by a very long, black beard,
and a very short but equally black pipe ;
but through rough attire and surround
ings, the indefinable Jena sai's quoi of
gentility was as clearly recognizable as
when he was sowing his rather extensive
crop of wild oat5 upon home soil, and be
fore that memorable Derby which induced
him, after settling with duns of every
description, to embark himself and the
leavings of his proprty, and dwell among
sheep and savages until he could return
with a fre:li grist to carry on the civilized
mil!.
"Can you see anything stirring in the
camp V said ho, as he cauie up. "Those
horses arc making a confounded row in
the corrall. I saw Johnson the Yankee
this moruing, and he said that Indians
had crossed the river, and he guessed
we'd better keep our wits well iled, that
the dusty vermin didn't look iu when we
warn"t ready f r visitors."
Now, horses were our surest safeguards
cainst surprise. i'og we naa too, dui
denly disappeared. We afterward learned
that they took refuge in a corn-field in
the rear of the house, where they lay
concealed until the fight waa over.
Our preparations were very simple a
box of cartridges waa opened (for we were
provided with those inestimable peace
and life preservers, breech-loading rifles)
and placed ready to hand, together with a
bottle of whisky and a jar of water ; the
door and window, our weakest points,
were secured as strongly as possible ; and
then sheltering our bodies behind the
parapet, we peered cautiously over, and
strained our eyes to get a glimpse of the
enemy.
Nothing is so daunting as
they roused us up so frequently by bark
mg at nothing more formidable than a
frtray deer or a tox, that reminded of the
gentleman whose amusement was to cry
"wolf!"' we lost all faith in them; but
cur little half wild Pampa horse had a
truer instinct, and their warnings, given
by stamping upon the ground, were not
to be disregarded with safety.
"I can make out some objects moving
about half a mile to the southward," Baid
I, after a long look out on the plains.
"They are mounted men, by Jove!"
pxclaimed my companion ; and riding
hard this way too. Stand here, with your
rifie, Alfred,while I slip cartridges into
my others. At that pace they will be
here directly."
And so they were Almost before
Dick bad reached my side again, two
'Guachos," their usually swarthy faces
livid with fear, sprung from their horses,
which, covered with blood, sweat and
foam, showed how sharp had been the
ride, and rushed over the draw-bridge.
They told us, as soon as terror would al
low them, that three hundred Indians
were in hot pursuit, and would soon be on
the spot, and besought us, for the love of
the Virgin, to give them shelter, as to
ride again into the camp upon their
foundored hordes, would be cerataio
death.
Dick, rather to my surprise for I did
not then know what distinguished liars
tho natives as a rule are calmly lit his
pipe, and then ordered our visitors, in a
somewhat doubtful Spanish idiom, to
"make themselves scarce."
"Unless," he said politely, "you can
tell a plain tale, senors, , without lies,
vamos and ad Los.
Upon this we learned, after much
cross-questioning, that they had been to
buy horses ( "To steal them, mo-e likely,"
interjected Dick) at the station of a rich
Spaniard, Doa .Ramon Garcia, who lived
about four, leagues from us; and that
. when they reached the top of a gentle
rise in the ground and had a view of the
house, they had seen, to their horror and
dismay, a large body of the dreaded In
dians, who were attacking for they
heard shots Don Ramon's eslancia.
"Whereupon," said the spokesman,
. with teeth chattering, "we rode hard to
vour abode, well knowim thai v
Englishmen would not deliver as up. But
let os mount your fleetest horses, senores
and ride for life. Soon they will be here,
and who can withstand the fierce bravo f"
"If this bp true," said Dick, turning to

thousand of them, and plenty of men anil

dash, to carry off any one who mitrbt be
strolling away from the house, or to drive
off the horses : and it's equally likelv
that we shall have them here soon, where
there s a better chance for a night attack
Id any event, we must be prepared for
them- Naturally, we can't run away and
leave all we cave in tno worm to De des

pose.

a young campaigner, and I felt my heart

I should not play a man's part in the strug

low, and with a slight drawl in it, reas
sured me.
"Now look here, Alfred, my boy," he

said ; "it we nave to ngm, Keep cooi auu
do as I tell you. Reach your hand over
here that's right ; I like to feel your
gripe like that. Now remember to aim
steadily, as though you were winning a
cup iu the rifle corps at home, and don't
show yourself more than you can help ;
for though these beggais have only a few
muskets and pistols in the shape ot fare
arms, they can shoot pretty straight if
you can stand still enough for a long
sight. Their great point will be to force
the door open ; but we can soon stop that
if you are steady with your shots ; and
they can't fire the bricks. Do you see
anything f '
"There's something dark on the ground
near the corral," I answered ; "it seems
nearer than it was." r
"An Indian, sure enough, and the ball's
going to commence." As he said this,
Dick's rifle rung out in the silence of the
night, aDd I saw a splinter fly white in
the moonlight, about a foot above the
dark object, which thereupon started
with a cry and fled. Then we heard tho
galloping of horses, and about one .hun
dred Indians rode into full view, and,
breaking into twos and threes, circled
round us within shot waiving spears
and shouting as though tho whole com
pany of fallen angels had met to lament
their change of circumstances chorally.
"Don't shoot ! This is all a feint!" And
my superior warning came just in time ;
for a dusky cloud of men sprung out from
the ditch, and rushed, lance in hand,
against the door. Well for us that its
fastening ere secure, and that we had
not been tempted to throw away shots by
the first demonstration. Bang ! bang !
went our rifles, and I saw with a feeling
of pleasure that the man that I covered
fell back with a hoarse yell.
"Don't hurry, but in with your cart
ridges," I heard next ; and both fired
again together. This was too. much for,
them ; they halted, wavered one moment
and than disappeared as if by magic, our
rapid system of firing having completely
discomfited them.
"Down with you !" and I felt myself
pulled suddenly under tno parapet, in
time to hear the bullets from the cavalry
outside the ditch, sing over our heads.
wore that no trembling of my hand should
mar her deliverance.
And now the savage, a truculent-
looking brute, raised his voice,
and demanded . in broken Spanish, a
surrender. He threatened us with all
the tortures his ingenous fratern
ity are so justly proud of having invent
ed, in case of obstinacy, and bid us look
upon his captive, that she, too. should
suffer for us. As he said this he grasped
the girl's hair brutally, and raised her
head. With a sudden spring of pain
and fright, she threw herself out of his
arms, and fell to the ground. His time
and mine had come. As he stooped my
bullet laid him dead by the side of his
intended victim. Dick made his rush
from the window, and the Indians their's
from the ditch, as he had predicted ; but,
as llosita was rather nearer to the house
than the ditch, he managed to reach her
first, and was retreating with her in his
arms. And now all depended upon me.
My first shot, aimed at the foremost of
the assailants, missed him clean ; and
before I could seize the other rifle he had
made a vicious thrust at Dick, who, in
cumbered as be was, was quite helpless.
The lance passed through Rosita's dress,
luckily without injury to the wearer ; and
as the savage drew back for a cooler and
surer thrust, I naa tne mexpressioie
pleasure of lodging a bullet in his body,
which effectually prevented any further
lance exercise from him.
Then I heard a heavy fall in the room
below. Dick had thrown his burden clean
through the open window, at the risk of
breaking a limb, aud turning, found him
self eneazed hand to hand with a dozen
Indians. He set his back against the
wall, and drew his revolver with his right
hand, receiving as he did so a spear

"So far so good," was Dick's comment.
"Take a drop of whisky; and watch tho
next move.
The moon was now nearly over ; but
that was not so much against us, the
night being clear and starlight enough to
seo a man at ten paces. We could hear
the trampling of horses' feet, and gut
tural sounds of talking, and guessed that
a council of war was being held. Sud
denly a spark appeared about two hun
dred yards from the house for they had
fired our haystack and grew rapidly into
a name. Brighter and brighter it became,
and lit up the scene which was one of those
men do not easily forget as with the
glare of the noonday sun.
Grouped round the flame, and out of
ranjre, were our foes their swarthy
skins and snaky hair glistened in the
fire-light ; and they brandished lances j
and screamed with delight at the destruc
tion they had caused.
Dogs were barking, and the horses in
the corral neighing shrilly and rearing
with terror some fighting desperately to
escape.
I looked at my companion's face ; i
was very pale, and the expression deci
dedly ugly.
"Look," said he hoarsely. "Hero
comes an embassador. Good Heavens !
look !"
I turned with astonishment ; but the
sickening sight I saw fully accounted for
Dick s excitement and rage.
A nearly baked Indian was boldly ad
vancing towards us, and bearing before
him a burden, which effectually secured,
as be meant it to do, bis immunity trom
our shots.
A beautiful white girl about seventeen
was lvinz helpless in his arms. Her hands
were bound behind her back, and masses
of coal-black hair encircled a face show-
nz deadly terror and horror in every
feature, and drooped nearly to the ground
over the savage's arm. Her dress torn
from one white shoulder, showed how
hard had been the first ineffectual strug
gle against her captors.
As the Indian crossed the ditch (they
had cu$ the ropo which held up the
draw-bridge in the first attack) with his
burden, Dick, with a deep groan, recog
nized ber. "It is Kosita, Don Kamon s
daughter !" he broke out. "I love her,
Alfred, and will save her or die with her.
Listen " he continued hurriedly. "Thia
rascal has come to make some proposal to
us. iveep your eye on him ; and tbe
moment you get a feir chance, fire at
him. If you kill her. it is the better fate.
When I hear the shot I will throw open
the window (which I can do more easily
than tbe door), and try for a rescue. But,
xor neaven s sake don t leave tbe roof.
Our only hope is in your being able to
keep off others, who will rash from the
ditch. Good-bv."
And he was down the ladder before I
could speak, leaving his hat cunningly
adjusted above Aa tumtmI. Pww T)inV 1
all his coolness and sang raid had van
ished now 1 I myself waa not in a pleas
ant predicament. To carry out his half
mad scheme involved my running a ter
rible risk of shooting my friend's sweet
heart which' at any. other time would
have appeared imnnaaiM hnt i... t
read the agony .and loathing in the poor
girls eyes I braced my nerves, set my
teeth, laid my rifle ready, and inwardly
through his left arm ; but his and my re- j city of Albany in said county, .a the
volver, fortunately reserved until now,
played amoDg the attacking party, and a
man was dropping at every shot ; so they
drew off. Dick managed, with great ef
fort, to drag himself through the window,
and then fainted away from tho loss of
blood and exhaustion : and when I ran
down the ladder to make fast the window
again, I found him comfortably reclining
with his head in Koaita s Up, the latter
having been stunned by her unceremo
nious entry. But I could not stay to help
here ; my post was on the roof. I hur
ried up tbe ladder, noticing for the first
time that I had myself suffered in the
scrimmage to the extent of a slight flesh
wound from a bullet. The fight was over.
Throughout the remainder of the night
tha Indians lingered about, and stole most
of the horses and some sheep, but they
had not pluck again to encounter the
deadly breech-loaders. Seldom, indeed,
had such a severe lesson been taught
them ; and when the glorious sun rose
(never sight more welcome) we saw them
ride beaten off the field, bearing with
them fire of the slain ; six other corpses
were laying in front of the window, where
the fiercest struggle had been, and two
more were afterward found, who i had
crawled into the ditch, like wild animals,
to die. .
We learned from the pretty Rosita,
whose gratitude was most touching, that
she had been captured while walking in
the orange garden near her father's house,
a short time before we were attacked.
"You, noble caballeros," she said,
"have preserved me from death, and
from what is far worse. God will re
ward you, for I can never."
I think Dick, however, was of a dif
ferent opinion; at all events, he has al
ways seemed remarkably satisfied with
the reward he persuaded her to make
him.
Some years have passed tsioce that
eventful night. Dick and Rosita are
living at Don Ramond's estancia, that
worthy old gentleman having departed
this life shortly after their marriage. I,
too, am with them as a partner in the
land, flocks and herds, of which we have
a goodly quantity ; and whenever tbe
increasing stock of little Dicks and Rosi
tas asks me, as they invariably do of an
evening to tell them a story, I know
that nothing else will content them, than
a full, true and particular account of the
night attack.

Testimonial. -
Mr. Geo. W. Travers, 131 First street, Port
land Dear Sir: With much nleasure I add mv
testimony in favor of the Home Shuttle Sewing
Mach iae. My experience in using it several
months has proved quite satisfactory. I have no
trouble in running over seams and uneven sur
faces, making a strong "Lock Stitch" which can
be readily chanced while the machine is in motion.
I would advise every lady, before purchasing, to
eaamme xne Home Shuttle.

The National charter, tho large capital, the
Low Rates, the common-sense plan, tbe definite
contracts, the honorable and fair dealings, tbe
Non-Forfeiting Policies, the perfect security.
the liberal Terms of the politics, etc., etc.. rend
ers the NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY of the United States of America worthy of
the patronage of every busincs man.
This company, during the sixteen mouths of
its existence, has issued
8,825 POLICIES,
COVEUISO
j $26,800,000 INSURANCE.
The extraordinarT racid procress of the con"
pany attests the estimation in which it is held b
the public, and the large amount of new business
transacted it is the best evidence of the popular
ity of its principles, nnd its adaptability to meet
the requirements of its Assurers.
ITS POLICIES ARE NEGOTIABLE.
By the Charter of the Company, certificates of
obligations will be issued, agreeing to purchase
its policies at their value which, when accompa
nied by tbe policy duly assigned or transferred,
are negotiable, and may bo used as collateral se
curity, in making loans from the Company or
from otber parties.
The non. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commis
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa
nies, says , " xne sooner sucn guarantees ecu
to be made, and such expectations created, tbe
sooner Life Insurance will eome to rest on lis true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The best and tbe most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity, and render all that they promise,
and furnish the best security, with the most np
right and judicious management."
" By the Stock plan tbe full cash effect of the
premium is immediately securea to tne insured,
the Company taking all the risk. By the Mu
tual plan, the full value in insurance of tbe pre
mium paid, is not secured to tno poucy-noider,
who takes a portion of the risk himself."
