a cool tober night had rested upon the river through the that bordered its banks the tops of the trees were gilt with the bright rays of a morning sun which gave a gorgeous beauty to the rainbow tints of the autumn the mantle of the departing year ally small flocks of paroquets flew with swift wing through the branches of the trees making ho woods re-echo to their noisy screams A solitary raven had left the watch tower upon the silvery top of a dead sycamore and was soaring high up in the heavens and even that vagabond bird of floating far up in lie blue sky rivaling the eagle in the beauty and majesty of his flight The drops were sparkling like gems upon the leaves of the trees and a freshness was ing in the morning air which gave the cation of a bright aud cheery day In the midst of a grove shading the banks of the river and in front of a large fire were persons The age of the younger might have been twenty perhaps more Ilis dress was simple and suited to the wildness of the country around him A light hunting coat of highly dressed skin was girded around his waist by a broad leather belt serving to set off a form whose slightness gave more promise of activity than strength A few locks of light hair caped from beneath a gay cap also made of deerskin and curiously ornamented with stripes of porcupine quills It was worn however more for appearance than use as it to adorn rather than shade the frank and fearless face beneath it In his belt he carried a substitute for the less gant though more servicable hunting knife A of buckskin leggings which boro the marks of rough usage aud many a bard en- counter with the bushes and briars were drawn over his pantaloons and completed dress With the exception of these last articles the and even richness of his attire though modeled after that uf the hunters of this district at once pointed him out as not belonging to a class who look alone to durability in their Near him against of a small ton tree rested a light rifle whose highly finished barrel nnd stock inlaid with silver showed that it had come from the forge of no workman of the Mississippi His associate was in every respect a back wood He had numbered forty ters and his scarred aud weather-beaten features told many a tale of danger and ex- His broad forehead strongly contrasted with a face of the most swarthy hue and gave an air of natural nobility to his whole countenance There was ed upon his mouth an expression of ering resolution which that feature alone can convey giving him an air of quiet in- trepidity that bespoke one a full re- liance upon his own and would not shrink from bringing them into action His eye was gray stern in its expression and exceedingly brilliant dress though of coarser material resembled that of his com- and in the formation far more tion appeared to have been bestowed upon the usefulness than the beauty of the ments Like his companion his waist was belted with a broad leather girdle To it was attached a short scabbard of undressed cowhide containing a knife which might serve as a weapon of defense or for the more peaceful employment of cutting his food Between his knees was a short species of rifle much in vogue with hunters of this part of the country both on account of the convenience of its length and the large size of its bore which ed it more fatal in its effects At the time of introducing these characters to the reader they were both seated on a log near the fire The eyes of both were fixed on a line of blue smoko which floated up wards forming a pale canopy over their heads and slowly among the branches of the overhanging trees Some deep and engrossing subject seemed to be pressing on the minds of both and to have wrapped them up in a world of its own leaving its traces on their grave and silent faces At length the younger of the two broke silence You are moody Norton said he I would give the two best bullets in my pouch to know what occupies your thoughts His companion raised his head My thoughts are not pleasant that you need wish to buy I suppose you still harping on the footprint n the ashes of the burnt prairie This same track appears to have troubled you much But cheer up The trappers are returning from the mountain about this season and it may have been left by one who had straggled from the main Besides it might have been made some days even were it the fresh print of an Indian you could scarcely find a hostile one hereabouts So you may ter your fears to the winds The other mused for some moments and then fixed his clear eye on the face of his companion Bat this said he extending along thin braid of hair It ranst have fallen from the legging of an Indian The and the rarely wear them It has come from the dress of an or Pawnee The first are not the most ly and a tomahawk and scalping knife would be our certain welcome from the last The track too was fresh for the gale which swept over the prairie in the morning would have covered it with ashes but it clean nnd made by the heavy tread of a limbed man There are those in oar whose best wishes could not stop the flight of nn arrow should they catch a ns It was thoughtless of yon boy to kindle so large afire and above all to heap it with great It will send up o heavy smots that will scarcely escape the eye of a should any chance to be lurking in these clumps of for- est The eagle has not a quicker eye for his prey than these let them come we have arms replied the other half con- What will two rifles and two knives do against a hundred bows and tomahawks Think you a Pawnee or haw alone or sven in a small band in this neighborhood where every tribe is mi open war with him Take mj word for it if we fight one shall hare to fight a hundred Well well Norton we will do that when come bat don't let as fight them be- fore is a waste of tion The hunter laughed as he replied I am sometimes surprised at myself for still clinging to yon for your thoughtlessness is constantly getting us into scrapes er I was once young and thoughtless self That of course replied Herrick in a merry tone It's the way with all old people to give that advice to their children which they never followed themselves If the rising generation followed to the letter the precepts of fathers and grandfathers what a gray-headed world wo should live said the other eyeing him good-naturedly will you never cease this bantering Certainly In thirty years I shall be as demure and staid a gentleman as any of my age nnd give the same advice to my children if I have any that I now receive and shall be as much astonished if they do not follow it as my present advisers look yonder At this exclamation the hunter sprang to hie feet nnd instinctively cocked his He cast a hurried glance in the direction in- by the extended arm of his ion On the brow of n low hill at a short distance from the thicket stood a large ter of animals closely crowded together Pshaw it is only a gang of said Xorton dropping the gun into the hollow of his arm A fine herd though They will probably make for the timber If they do we'll have one of said eagerly answered and perhaps an Indian arrow by way of sauce Hush Norton don't speak so loud you may startle them Look are they not beautiful The herd now stood with uplifted heads surveying the whole expanse of prairie j seemingly in doubt whether lo continue their course or to make for the inviting thicket at their feet At length a huge veteran whose heavy branching antlers gave an air of importance to his movements walked a few steps from the top of the hill one another From a walk their paco quickened to a trot nnd in a few moments the whole herd poured down towards the spot where the hunters were standing There was however a of lurking danger in the actions of the leader for as he bounded swiftly for- ward his ears were pricked up his head high in the air moved from side to side as if in momentary fear of some hidden The rest relying wholly upon his guidance followed frolicking and gamboling They passed the border of the woods and came close upon the two men From the moment that they had left the hill a new flame had kindled in the eye of j His fingers wandered round tne trigger of his gun and then were jerked away as if restrained by the consciousness that danger might ensue Still as they his restlessness increased I dare not fire Yet how easily I might drop that said he raising his rifle to his cheek and taking sight along rel He is very near I might make sure of him There 1 I have him behind the left shoulder Xorton shall I pull J Xo I you no 1 Should there be any Indians about your rifle crack would be sure to call them Have you forgotten the Tis a warning that should not be disregarded Our lives arc worth more than a dead elk This answer seemed to carry conviction with it With a sigh which showed how I great was the sacrifice dropped the butt of his rifle heavily upon the ground The animals still advanced but not as be- fore A feeling of insecurity had spread throughout the troop every nostril was ex- to the breeze every eye on the watch and every ear open to drink in the least sound of danger Herrick again lifted his rifle ed its barrel with his left hand and his ger again strained around the Slowly and almost unconsciously he raised it to his cheek and brought the muzzle to bear upon the leader Norton did you ever sec such He is not ten yards off I do not there can be much danger His voice though suppressed reached the ear of the already Instantly his nose was raised higher and his eye the spot from whence the sound proceeded Norton he sees us By Heaven he is turning away we have no to-morrow He is Crack The sharp report of the riSe rang through the woods The singing of the let was heard and the nobie beast fell for- ward on his knees The effect upon the rest of the heard was electrical At first they crowded round the wounded leader snorting loudly then apparently comprehending his fate they scoured off over the The deserted beast sprang up and rushed madly forward in the direction they had Ken the leaps grew less and less one more bound he landed on his legs yielded under him and he fell in the edge of the thicket with the death quiver through his limbs Hurrah there's elk meat for shouted flerrick drawing his dirk He thrust the bushes apart with the breech of his rifle bounded through them sprang over the dead logs and in a moment ed the spot where the beast lay Twas the act of a muttered ton as he slowly prepared to follow Yet he temptation was strong and there's hot blood in that young frame Perhaps had they stopped much longer I too should have done the same Thus half musingly half speaking he slowly advanced to the edge of the thicket here he paused and keenly surveyed the prairie before venturing from the Nothing was to be seen and he was in the act of stepping out when his ear was ed by a sharp sound as of a dead twig breaking beneath the tread of an As quick as thought he crouched and ed through the bushes scanning with a sharp eye every shrub and every tree trunk around him His fear had been awakened and the recklessness of his young ion in discharging his rifle had increased his watchfulness Everything however was quiet and he was preparing to rise from his concealment when his attention was ar- rested by an unusual quivering of the leaves of a small bush at a short distance over- grown with wild pea vines He drew closer to his hiding place ently the bush shook violently the dark painted head of an Indian completely ed emerged to view With lence he stole from tree to tree slowly ning his way towards But though he moved with all the instinctive craft of his people he was under the eye of one whom many years spent in these wilds had dered folly his equal Inch Dy inch he hunter did the same er he paused and looked Norton crouched to the again as he crept cautiously forward the white followed Some time had been consumed and Herrick was looking about for his com- 1 The Indian watched him for aa instant rising behind the trunk of a large linden tree fitted an arrow to his There was no time to be lost to his feet The noise of the motion caught the ear of the Indian He had bat time to see the hunter's yager pointed at his body ere a stream of fire poured from its mouth Its sharp report rang through the woods and the wild scream of the warror as he leaped in the air announced that its bullet had been a the Xew Orleans Picayune ONE VICTIM MOKE the items which make up he daily newspaper list of casualties was found a short time ago a notice of the death in Canada one Jem Steele from vation and cold Under this brief an- lies a story and a moral What took Jem Steel to Canada and why did he perish there in this miserable He was a native of a clime farther Sonth He was born under the fervid sun of a cotton planting Stale of the Union and his con- was adapted to and had been trained to the temperature of South na where the very winters are soft nnd balmy He was unfitted to the ing rigors of the snowy North He would shrink and shiver under Iho keen blasts of what they revel in there ns the pleasant days of spring The icy winter pinched up his muscles and froze his was no place for a child of the sunny South How came he there to die lie neglect ns well as cold He was starved among hospitable strangers How was this He came of a race unused if even capable to take care of themselves He had never known what it was to seek labor for self or to take care of himself He knew nothing of the work to be done in that alien region if he could have got anything to tdo From his infancy he had been reared to ab- solute dependence on the direction of others to absolute reliance on their thoughtfulness for what he should have Superior gence directed his habits where they were most productive and charged itself with his maintenance Whatever else troubled him it was neither cold nor In sickness and in health lie was provided and fed and in his ago there was n home for him It is true he sub- ject to restraints but it was to the will of those who maintained and cared for him and had an interest in his well being In that gonial climate he was secure at least of shelter and feed lie was beguiled into quitting it in pursuit of phantoms with which a cruel py lured him from Ins natural homo and State He escaped from this condition of bondage some time in 1800 The New York journals record his arrival attempt to have him returned to his master successful evasion in his favor by the New York Abolitionists of the fugitive slave law and the eager and jubilant haste with which they despatched him on the under- ground railroad into Canada Their mission was then over They had emancipated a slave they had robbed a slave owner of his property they had in baffling the execution of the law It was enough They returned to their homes with complacent thoughts perhaps of the evidence they hnd given of their zeal as propagandists of freedom and the new affront they had thrown at the ble slaveholder But which of them burdened his mind with a care for the future of Jem Steele Which of them reflected beforehand where Jem Steele was going and what was to be- come of him what work he was fitted for in tho sterile country to which they were sending him who was to take care that he should get it or find a sustenance for him while he was waiting for it or when he should Did one of them reflect how helpless this deluded fugitive ignorent he was of where lie was ing or what was to befall vague longings for something ho could not hend they had conjured up in Ins Surely a dreadful disappointment must follow and theirs is the moral of the evils which should come upon him They lured him from quiet and ty to become a wanderer an outcast they took the helpless wretch from all upon whom he had a claim and uot caring to burden themselves with the custody of what had been wiled into the power they put it away as something to bo hurried out of sight as offensive and dismissed from the thoughts as a case happily got rid of But it could not always be kept out of sight It comes up for judgment A few months after the journals not moralizing or hunting for facts with which to discredit a mock philanthropy or a confessed hypo- cracy note the end of this enterprise for converting a Southern slave into a Northern What is left of Jem Steele is some squalid remains flung in n Ho died in Canada of starvation The announcement should strike a chill upon every m in of alt who helped to take him from his sunny home and fling him to his death among their Northern snows and less men The gaunt skeleton of poor Jem Steele should haunt their dreams as a punishment for cruel and canting fanaticism L K

person in love The affection that had taken possession of my youthful heart was no every day cue I was sure of that There were not words enough in the English language to describe the height depth length and breadth of its grandeur It was destined to be a grand ment of the ages yet to fixed principle throughout planet of surprising beauty in the broad heavens of homo tions My love was returned the strong yearning of my heart went out into the direction of the most beautiful maiden in who in return sent the yearning of her heart to meet Twice a week as often as the week came around I went up to the old brown house of Dr to tell his daughter my lovo and as regularly listened to a recital of its return from the red lips of my charming net The good doctor made merry at our expense and his wife took a wicked ure in constantly reminding Janet was tortured by sly references to her playhouse in the shed her pinafores and pantalettes of six months bo- fore while I was offered an old coat of tho doctor's for my mother to make into a ing gown for me We were nevertheless determined to bo married We would steal slyly away from the house while our cruel friends reposed in the arms of Morpheus hie us on the wings of to the nearest would become in a moment's time Mrs Jason Brown At once we set about making preparations for this important journey Everything of course must bo conducted with the greatest At twelve o'clock I was to leave my home my fathers gray nag noiselessly out of the barn and harness her and then proceed to Janet Janet was to be waiting for me at her chamber window I was to place a ladder same she was to descend that ladder we woro to fiy down to the road through the old lane to tho spot where the horse was and then the wind should not outrun us There was but one difficulty in the way Janet's room was shared by her sister ny a little wicked creature of eleven years who to use Janet's words was awake at all hours of the There was but oneway if Fanny was aroused she must be bribed into for that purpose I placed in Janet's hand a round shining doliar But Janet needed sistance so she concluded to make Fanny her confidant the very afternoon before we in that case prevent all ity of raising the house by a sudden Well the long looked for hoped for and yet dreaded night arrived at last How slowly its leaden feet carried away the hours and what a strango of emotions I bore up sat by my window looking out as I for the last time upon the home of my rather The moon was out in all her splendor she was kind to me lighting up with her silver torches all he spots my eyes might wish to rest upon before I went out into the world a wanderer The broad fields lay out smooth and shining be- fore my fields in which 1 hnd worked by my father's side since I was a little a dear kind father he hnd been At this juncture my throat began to swell I turned away from the window If I could but see niy mother once I exclaimed rubbing mv eyes with my coat sleeve No one ever had a better mother thaul have I sat down in a chair and sobbed outright I looked around for something to take with me that my mother's hand had blessed with her touch There was a spinning wheel in the room where I slept at the end of tlie spindle hung a woolen roll With my knife I half cut and half tore it off pressed it to my lips and then placed it ly in my vest pocket 1 had not time to do more the old clock in the kitchen warned me solemnly that my appointed time had ar- rived with a slow sad yet noiseless step I left the house Once out ia the open air my wonted ness of spirits returned I consoled myself with the thought years I return again a strong healthy man an honor to my parents a blessing to my friends and the husband of Janet 1 have often wondered since how I In getting away from home with my horse and cart without arousing any But as good luck would have it I made a triumphant from the old place and in a few moments was jogging along towards tlie home of Janet My only dread was of the If after betray us what a dreadful direful desperate chief it would What a wretched pre- affairs would be I groaned aloud at the thought yet I put a brave face upon the matter I said if it was right that we should go we should go if it wasn't right in all probability we should stay at home yet right or no light if that ble little Fan did betray us I'd spend all my days in avenging the was tain Was 1 in Did I mean But we shall see How earnestly and anxiously I gazed wards the chamber window of Janet as ter fastening by the roadside I walked cautiously up the long lane that led to the doctor's house 0 joy inexpressible the waving of a white handkerchief in the moonlight told me that everything was right that in a few moments I should clasp Janet fondly to my breast mine mine Ah how happy I was so indeed that I stood still there in the moonlight with my bands pressed firmly to my left side for fear my overloaded heart would burst from me entirely What a figure I must cut then What an Apollo I must have looked with my fine proportions wrapped up in my wedding suit I was slender I was tall was gaunt I am sure I was ugly-looking at that moment What possessed I cannot tell but from an old chest I had taken s bine cloth coat had belonged to my grandfather in the time of the in the pride of my youth had got into The ails came nearly tho was to my

That back at it through the mist years ii 10 Lute arisen of two full feet its brim wider than my thumb nail My isn t quite as perfect us it and I may not see quite Make all duo allowances dear I say that I must have looked moment as it may that I was looking splendidly I thought the ure I cut was an honor Co the name of Brown and I was proud of it as I stalked up to Janet's window and placed carefully there the ladder that was to bear her to my side Everything house Fate was surely with us Fanny been bribed into service As I stood there I could see her little figure flit noiselessly to and fro by the window and how I blessed blessed her from the very bottom of heart kindness At last Janet commenced descending be ladder and as she did so the moon crowded in out of sight under a huge black The heavens favored us our success might be looked fixed Three steps more upon the and Janet's little feet would stand ou terra my own The steps were and held for a moment fondly by the my before we tho window both with hands to catch a small bundle of clothing that Fanny was to throw down to us and which we had no other means to carry with us whispered Janet sister appeared at the window and Iho bundle above our heads Be quiet Fan for heaven's aud it But Fanny still stood there swinging backward and forward the huge bundle without heeding Janet's earnest Do do throw it Fanny dear Do liave mercy on me What if father should know of this What if he should be La give it her Fan don't plague your she's in a hurry called a voice at hat moment from the closed blinds at parlor windows which belonged to er than Dr Give her dho things and ell he boys carry a bag of corn a cheese some wheat and butter to the cart Janet must have a sotting out Only be still about it For a moment we were petrified upon lie spot 1 thought I should fall to the What should we faint die rate or go mad While we stood ded two huge mattresses fell at our feet from the window followed at sheets
