A SUott itnd TfacStory.
. "The band that wiped away the tear of want,

David WcitTWo&xri had tho kindest of hearts.—
There wps neither mete nor bolind to liis benevolence,
except inability. Aiicf happy wan any man that had
a tithe of the prayers that were daily offered up for
tho. welfare of my friend by the wretched and unfor

lady of his native city. She was wealthy, beautiful
odd accomplished, and consequently had manysullors.
Among them were richer undnobier, (In extraction,
Imeanjond handsomer men than David ( n'fmporte,
there was a kind of straight-forwardness,about my
friend, that could not.fail to carry him. somewhere
near tho heart of his discerning mistress, even if an
emperor had been his rival. '
The young lady hi\ upon a project io put the char*
actor of her lovers to the. test. She Had come across
a poor widow in distress, in .one of her excursions,
and the idea struck her tliat it would be a good op
portunity to ascertain the stuff that her lovers* hearts
wore'made of. Letters were forthwith indited, sel
ling forth the good woman’s state, and forwarded to
the. different gentlemen, in the name of the widow,
and requesting assistance.
Tho first was a lecture on idleness,-beginning and
concluding with the information, that the writer wos
not-nccuslomcd (ogive to those he did hot know.—
This was from. 91U,UU0 a year I . Tho second advised
her lo apply to some of tho benevolent socltics, whose
business it was to relieve those who were truly in
want. This was from ohe who had a great reputation
for benevolence, vvhp hud taken a loading part in sev.
oral charitable associations, and whose Pharisaical lib
erality had been blazoned in the Gazette. ; The Indy
thought that interested us she was in those institu
tions, ho displayed a commendable reluctance about*
taking . tho , business ohl of their hands. A third,
from u good-hearted and generous hind of a fellow,
enclosed,her a five dollar bill with his compliments.
Several look ho notice of the good widow's petition.
But there was another answer which tho lady road
with fur different feelings. . It was from David—from
8800 a year—und 1 need not say, Uko ■ himself, kind
and consoling—spoke of (he wrfter*s narrow means,
and also of the'principle he had'adopted,'of netar
giving unices persuaded of thb worthiness of (he ob
ject, and concluded by requesting an interview.* ‘lf,’
said he, * I find mysulftilhcrwise unable to afford the
assistance required, 1 may be of service in interest-
I ihg others iu yo_ur behalf.*
- Nor was this lbLlt 'was But; a
week before the widow found herself comfortably

trumpets; andllie right hand knew not of the doings

of Ms conduct, and he received many a kind glance
In this quarter, of which ho little suspected (ho cause.
She began to think that the homage of aspiril like
his, was a thing not to be despised ( and she fell
something very much like the palpitation of the
heart, as she questioned herself respecting bis inten
tions.
Such was the train of thought which, one evening,
as la often the.case, was interrupted a call front
the very person who hud been'lts cause. Hour after
hour passed by (hut night, and still David lingered.
He cbuld not tepr himselfoway. She is a most fas
cinating creature, thought he, and as good as ahe is
boaullCul. Cun she over bo rhino? And a cloud
camoovor his fine features, and he sat for n moment
in silence, 'This suspense must bp ended,* said he
to himself as the clock told.eleven.

LEGEND OF OWE* ORBBK!
It was a year long since forgotten by tho satires
of theso forests, unmarked and. unrecorded tare the
inermost lines of the oak tree of five centuries or
more, that steady solemn recorder 6f the stortts df
years—it was yost which mtist be nameless, slock wb
know nothing of It; that a chief of tbo Wyandolles,
wondering on a fair trail, came into this .beautiful
country. The home ofbls tribe Wason tbetoutbera
bank of the Ohio, where their thousands owned ft
royal land. I stood, hot tong egoj on the gfote bf
their chieftains* 1 stood with rbfkrenfee oh tho'
mound that pressed o’h (he giant ftrfhs land stout
hearts of the mighty dead. 1 had entered other
mounds, but I shrank from that. I, for some strange
reason that 1 qannot new explain, avoided ,penelra«
ting Into ita silent sccrsfey and edited aWayrty tebrk<
men who were with, mo, and turned their spades lot#
a smaller pile, in which we found but a few trade#
and arrow heads- I know hot but that was the grtve
of the chief who figures in this history. But 1 most
return to it.
The stronger Indian looked with longing ejrk» oh
the brown neck and ruddy cheek, the light form and
bountiful foot bf the iriatderf, the daughter of the
old chief, In whose lodge he aie venison brought bt
her own hands; ahd before be had completed ml. am
meal, with the haughtiness of one accustomed to de
mand, he asked her in marriage, But she had long
been promised to a chief of her own kindled, and
may imp had learned to love him. • Sboandhef father
olikc refused the Wyandotte, and he returned lo hie
tribe in,wrath. He came again. And it waa withe
thousand warriors at his back to take his bride.On*
of those long and bloody wars ensued, in which the
Indian tribes of our counfry so often engaged* It
lasted through the winter,apd the spring, and as the
summer sun grew warmer,the stranger had made bis
homo in Ihb lodge of the old chieftain. But bis WIM
woa not yet won. In faith Uit casiferittahi theft
have found, ini conquer riatlpna than to win apanwtl*
ling bride. Somewhere in the forest lingered a util*
ty- bond, guarding with zealous care the maiden
daughter of their slaughtered chief. In vain the In*
vaders searched, in vain aonghttrails of their epmlet.
The latter never left their fastness but for food, and
then concealed their troll with a skill which was
malchleas. In (he basin of a Hugh rock were gatfa
ered thirty warriors, and the few fetbale attendants
of the maiden; guarding lief fclfpat. The ground In
the angles of the rock jvas.corefed with rich panth
er end wolf skins, and the little,pook was roofed wilfr
the same material; and the whole was sp covered with
brush na to defy detection. Trees lay aerosstheoQt*
let of (ho bosin, whose dense leaves wholly concealed
it, and the only egress and entrance was by swimming
through a narrow opening. From this opening eve
ery night more or less.of the.guard issued ewam oat.

down the river, a half a mile before they touched land.
Thus defying all skill to find a trail to thfclr tonceil

A WyahabUe; eitiing oho night bh the bankbfiha

like any animal he had,before seen. He watched IV
