Behold that fair young mother ! see how soft
Anu pencefully„she smiles, as though her heart,
Reposing in tlio fulness of its love,
Found perfect rest. Upon her snowy breast
A smiling infant sleeps, her first-ti en kw;
Ifer virgin love's fit'Sl dear embodiment. .
Her husband sits beside, half bending, half
Supported by her chair, o'er which his arm
Is thrown protectingly; with the proud joy
POSSCI3SiOII g ves, he feels they are all his own,
And with fund admiration looks on both.
But now a deeper glance—a warmer love
From his soul rushes to his speaking eyes,
Which rest with rapture on her lovely form:
When
,with must womanly and blameless art •
She takes her infant's hand caressingly .
And spreads its dimpled beauty on her cheek,
Which now with deepest 1 - 41.101 PS is BildtlSed.
But that sweet art to hide Its burning glow
Is powerless, and then she quickly stoops
To press his placid forehead with her lips;
But all in vain, for now.her trembling limbs
The soft confusion of her heart betrays,
Till overpower'd by love, she's driven to hide
Her glowing face upon her husband's breast,
And on her ready lips she now receives
The burning pressure of•44.fervent kiss,
Forgetting all, but the absorbing love,
iVith which she'd trused her young lovo to hint .•
I have never told you my secret, my deer
nieces. However, this Christmas, which may
be the last to an old woman, I will give the
whole story; for though it is a strlnge story,
and a end one, it is true; and what sin there
won' in it I Cruet I may have expiated by my
tears and my repentance. Perhaps the last
expiation of all this painful Nipfession.
We were very young at the time, Lucy and
1, and the nmghnors wild we were pretty. Bo
we were, I believe, thonght calico ly different;
for Lucy was gniet„nuil Mir, and I was full of
life and spirits; wild teyond any power of
control, and recklesti',. Fwasihe cider by two
yenrs ; but more lit to be in ISIItl!ng strings
myself than to guile or govern my sister.• But
oho was so good, so quiet, and so wise, that
she needed no one's guidance ; for if advice
was to ho given, it.was eke who gave it, not
and I never knew her judgment or perception
to fail. Fha was the darling of the house. Aly
mother had died soon after Lucy was born.—
A picture in the dining-roorri - of her, in spite
of nil the difference of dress, }ens exactly like

my mother hod been only eighteen when it
was taken, there was no discrepancy of
years.
I=l
One I 11hallow's eve a party of us—all
young girls, not one of us twenty years of
ego—were trying our fortunes round the
drawing-room lire; throWing nuts into the
bright blaze, to hear if mythic lie's" loved
any of us, and in whet proportion; or pouring
hot load into water, to hod cradles and rings,
or purses and coffins ; or breaking the whites
of eggs into tumblers half full of water,:and
Own druivii , ig up the white into pictures of
the future—the prettiest experiment of 01.-
1 remember Lucy could only make a' recum
bent figure of her's, like a marble monument
in miniature; itnil I; a maze of on inks -nod
sculls and things that looked like ancing
apes or imps, and vapory lines that did not
require much imagination. to fashion into
ghosts or spirits; for they were r otearly human
in the outline, but thin and vapory. And we
all laughed is great deal, end tensed one ens
'thee, and were es full of fun end mischief and
innocence and thoughtlessness, as a nest of
young birds,
There was a certain room' at the other end
of our rambling, old manor house, which wee
said to be litiunteJ, and which my father led
therefore discontinued as a dwelling room, so
that we children might not be frightened by
foolish servants; end Ito bad : made it into a
lumber place, a kind of ground -floor granary
—where no one had any business. Well, it
was proposed thatnue of us should go -- into
this room alone, lock the door, stand before a
gloss, pare and eat an apple very deliberately,
looking fixedly in the glass_all and
then, if the mlnd never once the

every party, and was, moreover, very desirous
of seeing that . apocryphal intlrvidual, my fu
ture husband, (whose non-appearince I used
to wonder et and - bewail in secret,) I was glad
enough to make the trial, notwithstanding the
entreaties of some of the more timid. Lucy,
tibove all, clung to one, and besought me ear
nestly not to go—at last, almost with tears:—
But my pride of courage, 4nd my curiosity,
and it certain nameless feeling of attraction,
were too strong for Me. I laughed Lucy and
her abettors into silence; uttered hoe a.dozen
bravadoes; and hiking urqibeil4oom candle,

eats," or "those iwe leaves," and birds in the
chimney," or owls in the ivy," as each new
howl or Fcream struck my one. And I woe
not in the least frightened or disturbed ;it all
seemed natural and familiar, I placed the
candle on the table in the midst of the room,
where nn old broken mirror stood ; and, look
ing steadily into the glass (having first wired
oft the dust) I began to eat Eve's forbidden
fruit, wishing intently, ns I had been hidden,
for tho npparation of toy future husband.
In about ten minutes I heard a dull, vague,-
unenrthly snout 1 j felt, not heard. It was as
if countless wings rushed by, and small, low
voices whispering too ; as if a crowd, a multi
tude of life was - about me as if shadowy fa
ces crushed up against me, and eyes mid
hands, and sneering lips, nil mocked me. I
woe suffocated. The air wns so heavy, on
with life, that I could not breathe. I was
pressed on from all sides, and could not turn
nor move without parting thickening vnpnrs.
I heard my own name, I can swear to that to
day! I heard it repented through the room;
and then bursts of Intighter followed, and the .
wings rustled and fluttered, and the whisper•
ing voices mocked end chattered, and the
heavy nit., so titled-with lit r Omeg heavier cud
thicker, and the Things premed up to me clo
ser, and checked theiwenth on my lips with
the r Innimy breath from theirs.
I wns not alarmed. I was not excited; hut
I wns fitscinnted not spell-bound; yet, with
every sense seeming , to possess ten times its
natural power. I still went on looking in the
glass, still earnestly desiring an apparition,
when suddenly I saw a man's face peering
over my shonitler in the glass- Girls, I could
draw that face to this hour! The low fore
head, with the short, curling black as
jet, growing down in a sharp point the dark
eyes, hens nth thick eye brows,,burning with a
peculiar light; the nose and the dilating nos
trims; the thin lips, curling into a smile, I see
them all plainly before me now. And—O, the
smile that it was!—the mockery and sneer,
the derision, the sarcasm, the contempt, and
victory that were in it! even then it struck
into me a arose of submission. The eyes
looked full into mine ; those eyes and mine
fastened on each other; nod, as G ended my
task, the church clock chin od the half-hour;
and suddenly released, pis if from n spel , , I
turned lound, expecting to seo n iron
standing beside Inc. But I met only the chill
nir coining in from the loose window, an d the
501 i t nde of the dark night. The Life had gone;
the nings had visited away; tho voices lied
died not, find I was alone with the rats be
hind the iv:lime:et, the civic hooting in the
ivy, and the iv threugll the trees.
Convinced that either onion trick had been
prayed on me, or that some one wine concealed
in the mem, I searched every corner of it; I
lifted lids of hones filled with, the dust of
ages , ; and with rotting paper lying like blench
ing skin. I took down the chimney-board,
and snot and ashes flew up in clouds. I open
ed dim old closets, where all manner of rout
insects had made their homes, and where day
light had not entered for generations ;.-but ,
found-nothing. Satisfied that. nothing human
was in the room, and that no one could have
been there to-night, nor for many months, if
not years, and still nerved to a state of deeps-
raw courage, I went hack to the drawing
room, But, ns I left that room I felt than
something flowed out with ma; nod, all
through the long passag'es, I retained the sen
sation that this something was behind me.--
steps were heavy, the consciousness of
pursuit having parelyzed not quickened me;
for I knew that when I left that haunted room
I had not left it alone. As I opened the
drawing-room door, the blazing fire nod the
strong lamp-light bursting out upon me with a
peculiar expression of cheerfulness end wel
come, I heard n laugh close nt my elbow, end
felt a hot blast across my nook. I started
hack, hut the laugh died away, and all I sass
Were two points of light, fiery and flaming,
that .ornehaw fashioned themselves into eyes
beneath their heavy brows, and looked at me
tnenningly through the darkness. • .
They , all wanted to know what I had teen,
but I refused to say n word; not liking . to tell
faltiollood then, and not liking to expose my
self to ridicule. For I felt that what I had
seen was true, and that no sophistry and no
argument, no reason and no ridicule, could
shako my belief-init. .Afy nWeet, Lucy oame
up to. me, Hoeing me look to pale and wild,
threw her arms round my neck, and termed
forward to kiss me. AN sho bent her bend, I
felt the tame worm blast ru , h over my lips,
and my sister cried, " Why, Lizzie, your lirs
burn like fire I" -
'And so they did, and for long after. The
'Presence was with mo still, never leaving mo
day or night; by my 'pillow, its whispering,
voice often waking me from wild dreams ; by
my — sidc in the broad sunlight ; 'by -my side in

impression on me, that I felt us if carried a
way to some unknown region. As we entered,
Mr. Felix came to meet its, rind drawing aside
I a heavy curtain that seemed all of gold and
fire—for the flame colhred flowers danced and
quivered on the gold—he led. us into an inner
room; where the darkened-tight, the atmos
phere heavy with perfumes, the statues, the
birds like living jewels, the magnificence of
stuffs, and the luxuriousness of arrangement
overpowered me. I felt as if I had sunk into
a lethargy, in which I herd only the rich
voice, and 1311 W only the feria of our stranger
ghost.
lie was.certalnly vary handimme; tall, dark,
yet pole as marble ; his very lips - were pale;
with eyes that were extremely :bright, but
which. had an expression Deltind them that
tbdued me. Ills manners whre graceful. lie
was very cordial to tle; and made us stay
long time, taking us through his grounds to

with !Molt n disregard for local dillioultes, and
for cost, that, Inid he been one of the princes
of the genii ho could not have talked more
roynlly. Ile was more than merely attentive
to me r speaking to me often and in a lower
voice, bending down ncnr to mo, and looking
at me with eyes that thrilled through every
nerve and fibre; I saw that my father was
uneasy 5 and when wo left, I asked him hlw he

Lizzie," with a grave and almost displeased
look, as if he bad probed the weakness I was
scarcely conscious of myself. I thought at the
time that he was harsh.
Howel'er, as there was nothing positively to
object to in Mr. Felix, My father's impulse of
distrust could net well 'ho'indulged without
rudeness; and my dear fatl:: was too thorough
n gentleman ever to he rude even to his enemy.
We therefore saw a great deal of the stranger,
Who established himself in our house on the
meat familial! footing, f',r... , 12.0.fte..1 on my f , ther '
and Lucy an intimacy they both disliked, but
Mudd not avoid. - Tor it was forced with !Melt
consummate skill and tact, that there was no
thing which the most - rigid could object to.
I gradually became an altered being under
his influence. In ono thing only 'a happier—
in the loss of the Voice and the Form which
ad haunted me. Since I bad kuuwn Felix
this terror had gone. The reality liad,nlisorb•
ed the slidow. But in nothing else Woe this
strange moo's influence over me beneficial.
I remember that I usedlo hate myself for my
eXCOFSIVO irritability of temper when I was
Away from him Everything at home (Ls
leased met' Everything seemed so small and
mean, and old and par, after the lordly glory
of that house ; and the very caresses of my
family and olden school-day friends were irk
come and, hateful to me. All except my Lucy
lost its charm; and to her I was, as faithful as
ever; to her I never changed. But her influ
ence seemed to war with his wonderfully.
When with him I fell borne away in atarrt,
His words fell upon me mysterious and thrill
ing, and ho gave use fleeting glimpses into
worlds which had never opened themselves to
me before; glimpses seen and gone like the
Arabiari garden.
lVhon I came back to my sweet sister, her
pure eyes and the holy light that lay in them,
her gentle voice - speaking of the sacred thinga
of heaven and the earnest things of life, seemed
to me like a former existence; a state I had
lived in yee'Ve ago. But this divided influence
nearly killed me;, it seemed to, part iny i very
'Vont and wrench my being intepit; nnl this
•noro than all the rest, made me end beyond
In) thing' people believed possible iu one so
hay and reckleie ns I . had been.
.Tly father's dislike to Felix increased daily,
iind Lucy, who had never been known to use
a harsh word in her life, from the first refused
to believes thought of gond in kiln, or to allow
him one single claim to praise: She used to
cling to mo in'nwild, beseeching way,- andon
treat me with payers, such 046 , mothP might
have poured out before an erring child, to
stop in time, and. return to thoso -- wito loved
me, "For your soul is lost from among tas,
Pzzle," she used' to say, " and nothitig but a
framo,renniins of the full life of love you once
gave I" But ono Word; one look, from Felix
was enough to Make mo forget every tear end
prayer of her who, until now, had been my
idol and my low.

my bands, in sham; at this my fi ist Oct of die
obedience to . my father; rind, when I raised
my head, he was gone. Gone as he lied 'en
tered, without a footfall sounding ever 50
lightly.
I met him the next day, and it wee not the
only time that I did so. Day nfter day I stole
at his command from the house, to walk with
him in- the Low Lane—the lane which the
country people said was htlnted, end which
was Corpjoglielltly always deserted And there
we used:to walker sit under the, blighted elm
tree for hours, lie talking, but I not under_
standing all he said; for there was a torte of
grandeur and of mystery in hie words that
overpowered without enlightening me, and
that loft my spirit dazzled rather than con
vinced. I had to give reasons at home for my
long absences, and lie bade me say, that I bad
been with ord Dame Todd, the blind widow of
Thornhill Rise, and that I had been reading
the Bible to her. And I obeyed, although,
while I said it, I felt Lucy's eyes fixed plain
tively on mine, and beard her murmur a prayer
thet , l might be forgiven.
Lucy grew ill As the flowers and the sum
mer sun came on, her spirit faded more rap
idly away. I 1111V0 known 8/1100, that it was
grief more than malady which was killing her.
The look of nalnelm. , s suffering which used to
ha iu her face, has, haunted use through life
with undying sorrow. It was suffering that I,
who ought to have rather died for her, hod
paused. But not even her illness stayed me.
In the intervals, :I nursed her tonddlly and
lovingly as before, brat for hours and hours 1
left-her—all through the long days of summer
—to walk iu the Low Lane, and to sit in my
world of poetry nod fire. When I canto book
my sister was often weeping, and I knew that
it was fur me—l, who once would have given
my life to save her from ono hour of sorrow.
Then I would fling myself on my knees beside
her, in an agony of shame and repentance, and .
promise better things of the morrow, and vow
strong efforts against the power and the spell .
Milt was on rne. But the morrow subjected
me to tho same unhallowed fascination, the
same faithlessness.
At last Felix told me that 1 must COMo with
him ; that I must leave ,my home, and take
part M his life ;.that I belonged to him and to
him only, and that I could 'not break the tab
let of a fate ordained; that I was his destiny,
aid he. mine, and that I must fulfil the law
which the stars had written in the sky. I
fought against this, I spoke of my father's
anger and of my sisters illness. I prayed to•
him for pity, not to force this on mo, and knelt
in the shadows of the autumn sunset to ask
froth him forbearance.
I did not yield this dny, nor the nest, nor
for many days. At last he conquered. When
I said " yes," lie kissed the scarf I wore round
my neck Until then he had never,touched
even my band , with his lips. I consented - tic
leave my sister, who I well knew was dying;
I consented to leave my father, whose whole
life bad been ono act of love and care for his

DOMESTICS
„ -
From the earliest ages down to the present
day, Alter() have been different classes in soci
ety. This necessarily arises from the very or
der of society. The well established, and very
proper right of inheritance, and, the ability
which some members of society have to acquire
and which others have not, the difference of -
education, and other obvious causes nescesarily
produce these distinctions. Who among the
various classes, is the most contented and hap
py, is quite another matter.. There must be
some to serve, end some to be served. They
are mutally dependent. We refer at present
to domestics by which we mean those who con
stitute a part of a family fur wages, or other
wise. We hear great complaints, sometimes,
of these persons, and sometimes great coin
plaints froinithem. This connexion is regar
ded as one of the miseries of life. It is not
necessarily so, and is, usually, the fault of
those who command, rather than of those who
ll=
Servants:masters, and mj.pErossda, have. the

and respected according to their merits. That

spored when sick; advised and relieved .whoa

circumstances of the 'parties permit. If they
aro persons of religious impressions, their so
comodation is to be consulted. They are to be,
counselled as to saving the fruits of their la
bors. The comands given to them should bo
plain, clear, uniform, and not contradictory
and capricious. They are not to be comancled

rather by request.
Children who are porinitod to bo insolent.to
the dependent ore permited to do unchristian
and highly reprehensible nets: Servants, in
common with all who
,wear the lit . mitti form,
are entitled to civility. We know nut, in this
changing world, whose turn it may, in a very
few generations, if not the passing one, to be
masters or servants. To fret awl be ill-tem
pered about one's servants, ill - becomes the
dignity of any one. If they turd troublesome,
unworthy, or ungrateful; the rbmedy is to dis
miss them, and find others. It may be assumed
that all persons who are served, may be well
served if they ohoooe to be so; when they aro
not, it is their own fault. If there were no
just cause against masters and mistresses,
there would, be much less against servants.—
all persons- understood and . practiced on
tees° truths, the good qualities of servants
would be more Common, and thus, ono more
oau of human Misery would be diminished.—

UORILIQLTu INDIAN CRUELTIES
Wo have already-announced, the eeeape and
return of Mrc . Jano Wilson, ofTexas, to Banta,
Fe, who had been taken .captive by the Com
anche Indians, and subjected 'to the moot ex
traordinary cruelties. Tho aflair has very
justly excited the greatest indignation in New
Nlexico against the Indians. -
From Mrs, Wilson's narrative, it appears
that Bho is but i 7 years of ago. About a year
ago she was married to a young farmer in
Texas, and in April tboy.joined a party cf 11l
ty-two emigre nte,hound for, California. They
were attacked
, by Indians, and the party, wad
compelled to return to Texas; but Mr. And
Mrs. Wilson remained at El Paso, where their
horses being stolen, they were compelled aka
to give up the plan of going to California, mxtl
set out on_their. return to Texasln July. In
August, Mr. Wilson and his father fell Into
, he hands of Indians and were murdered. Mrs.
poli g lass returned to El Paso, and again :lit
September she started for Texas, with
three brothers-in-law and a small party. When
within three days' journey of Phantom
on American militar3 post, they were attnekcd
by Comanches, while some of their men were
off in pursuit of some of their horses that 1,0
been stolen. A Mexican who was with MI%
Wilson, was brutally murdered and scalped
before her eyes, and, she and her two broth
ors-in-lace, lads of 10 and' 12 years, were
seized, bound, and carried off, with the entire
property of the party,
• t
Tho Indians, with their captives, preceded
iu a Northwest direction, each being appropri
ated as the property of one or other of.the
chiefs, They wore etript of nearly allthier
a!othing, end Otherwi,e brutally treated, Mrs.
Wilson, although expecting soon to become a
mother was oubjectcd_to every conceivable cru
elty and indignity; beaten and hrused; expned
to fat , gues of all kinds; her flesh lacerated by
lariats and whips, or by the loads of wood the
was obliged to carry on her hare back; coley -
pelted to do the work-of men, or punished faF
inability by by being'stoned, knocked' (lown
and trampled on; almost entirely deprived
food—and all this lasted for twenty-five days , .
At this time she was , ient in advance in the mot.-
ning as usual, when she determind to Attempt
an escape, which she succeeded in nom; tith
ing by secreting herself in some busheetill the
Indians passed.
For twelve dais she wandered through this
Indian country, subsisting upondterries, when
the fertunately4ell'in with some Now Mt xic,
traders who Kirnished her with some nirat' i s
clothing nod a blanket. In consequenceof
their meeting with '11"-Careanclie, theylroil to
leave her behind, and she uturowly esca,peda .
second capture. But, by the subsequtt;t
of one of the traders, a Pueblo Indian, site
was enabled, after hiding herself for eight
days to CFellpe. At the expiration of this
time she wits roscuedby the traders, fare<io i'l
with a horse, and brought to the !min of Pt
cos, New Mexico, where .Major Carlton and
others of the army, took care of and enabled
her to proceed to Santa Fe.
This is but an outline of a tcrriblt story,
the counterpart of Ivitich, in all' excipt the
escape, are said to be frequent. ° A letter
front Santa Fe says that the white coptivell
among the Camanches areas namerous its the
Indians themselves. The same letter men
tions the escape of a young Mexicali women
who retains, after a year's terrible on ptivity,
expecting to become the mother of at, , mfant
whose father is a wild Indian. The Coman
ches practice cruelty in its utmost refittenriit
towards their captives. Children are 'ruin ed
to be' More savage titan they are themselves,
and women are subjected to outrages tea horri
ble to be mentioned.
The Santa Fe Gazette says : "The trio
broe.ere of Mrs. Wilson are yet in captivity,
and unless soon reclaimed will imbibe rt taste
for the wild life of the Indian, and be forever
lost. There are many hundreds, and or
venture to Say, thousands of captite" : among
the Indians of NeW Mexico, prinelpii:',;r . '”'
men and children ; the former are fMced,tti
become elavee of the men, and the latter ate
trained for worriers."
When Gov. ideredivether came out, he, vilt .
fortunate enough to rescue trio Mexicap.ghela,
from the Camanches--one It; and the x •her.A_

near Chilthaltua, one'three years and tile_otliNs,
