" See there, Lucy—that rich purple cloud, fringed with flame, as though it were the falling Mantle from sorcit fiery cherub; and just above it, see that snow white cloud, like a screen to prevent our looking into Heaven! h,it not sub lime ?" " Yes, Anna, it is beautiful, very; and hem in the west, it a &wailful moonrise to match it. See, the pure bright orb comes out the moment the son has hid his face, as though she wishes not to attract any of the admiration which belongs to his shin ing sublimity. The moon seems to me the type of a lovely and modest woman, she delights to re flect the happiness and prosperity of those to whom she is dear. You smite at my smile.

" so , no ; how ridiculous ; let tie go down to the parlor." During the conversation of the cousins, the two young gentlemen named as approaching were rap. idly nearing etch other. The dwelling of Squire Hartwell was Im'ated at the junction of three roade Where three from the east and the west, which were merely paths, united with the great northern highway. The howe stood a few ntedi frum the junction_ having' a peach orchard in front, a high and he-av 3 gate, which shut out the dusty This of the street. The otject of the virile seemed to be wbo r Shoeld first ream the gate. Dr. Walker had the shortest sad smoothes, path ; hat the long and rapid strides of Belzer wereerery moment diminishing the ine quality ; and as tot the stores arid hillocks in the path, he m inded them no more that be would have done the :boating thistle's down. Dr. Walker increased his speed almost tea run ; it would not do. Roger's strong grasp had' thrash] open the gate—he has entered—and with no gen tle impetus, he sent the ponderous portal back to its station. It shut with a loud bang,, just as Dr Walker reached it, bringing him to a perpendicular as rigid as that of a /Woken grenadier. sSo dose ly ris4sr...s was he with the gate, that his nose was sl ig htly grazed by the contact and partly for the rush'ol air, his best bearer was thrown from his head, !d rolled some distance ea the dusty path: Dr. Walker was greatly digloomaCed,Jind cot a lass enraged at the aedaely of his .total; tea be well knew that Roger was not the mat he elidd frighten ; - sad as for nhtieg such a know, that was out albs guest co.

How. little did Dr,. Walker appreciate the cool philosophy of Roger's address, as the latter, polite ly bowing on his entrance, intleirefi after his health. Dr. Walker did not reply,did not seem to have heard—but, hastily shaking the Squire's offered hand, hastened across the apartmeqt ; atyressed with a . amile and compliments the iroung ladies, andthen, having seated himself by Mrs. Hartwell, was soon deeply engaged in conversation on the weather. . , " Have you beard the Dews, doctor I" cried the Squire,.at the top of his voice. " News ! what aewa ?" reiterated Dr. Walker, starting. 8, Why, that Parliament is about sending over to us all the East India company's stock of tea 7" " Well! " • " I don't think it will be well, sir, 1 don't think we colonists can be compelled to bny it. 1 for one, affirm that not an ounce shall be used or drank in my lamily." ; . " Dear me, Mr. Hartwell, whit is the use of making such a great fuss about a little matter?— Only three pence duty to the pound. why tour pounds of tea would be a. very large stock for the year, and that will be only one shilling to govern ment!" an .I Mrs. Hartwell looked triumphantly to Dr. Walker for approbation of her prudential speech ; while the Squire turned his eyes to Bog er, as if he wished him to answer it. " It is not the price of the tea, madam, that is of consequenie," observed Roger, 'respectfully," but the establishment of the principle of taxation." " Yes," interrupted the Squire, " it is the princi ple that we contend against. Three pence, or three Sounds would be all this same. Indeed, if w.e sub mit to pay the peace, we will soon have to pay the pounds." " We mast resist it," said Roger. " We will resist it," echped the S.qttjrp.,, " I do not see any benefit to the country can re-_ sult,trom this resistance," said Dr. Walker. "If Parliament has ordered the tea to the colonies, it will come.a "At shall never be sold," said. the Squire. " You mast watch the ladies narrowly, then." replied the doctor laughing. " They relish tea better than those theories of liberty, which none but a politician can understand." " The ladies will not thank you for rating their understanding and patriotism so low," replied Rog er, casting a respectful but penetrating glance on Lucy Hartwell. 4, What ray you, daughter—do you prelim your tea before the liberties of your country r , inquired . the Squire, who laid remarkel the brightening co lor oo I..ticy's cheek. " Will you drink the tea that is burdened crab a tribite which nave but slaves would pay T -, 8- I would sooner drink poison, my dear Esther than a beverage obtained by dis . hotering my coun try," said the blushing girl, in a low but emphatic voice.

So the matter was settled Everybody said Miss Lucy Hartwell was engaged to lawyer Trumbull. Every body said so except Roger;. he never would say a word about it. The young ladies gen erally believed it was a sad disappointment to him. and pitied him exceedingly. But most of the elder people, especially the grave fathers, differed from the opinion. They said Roger had no idea of mar rying ; that he was poor and ambitions . ; and that each a man never thought of it tilt he had risen in the world. In theie primitive times it was not the fashion to marry for money. Mr. Roger bad opened a store in a neighboring lowa. He worked no . wore at shoemaking but pursued his business as though his lite depended on his dilligence. " Lucy 'I" said Roger.

IMMMMI WEE CHAPTER V THE D VIOL C3l ENT MM boring the recent war between the Uni•ed States and the Indians of Teias, a greatt number of volun teers joined the expedition. One of those, Captain Ferguson of Kentucky, became celebrated for, his hardihood and success in the terribleh outing of the Indians. The followinz incident will convey some idea of the character of the man, and also of the war still waging in the New World, between civi lization anti baibarism. A small band of volunteers, among whom was Captain Ferguson, spent several ii4r, exploring Texas,.and had wandered far into the interior with out meetieg a solitary Indian track. Tired of this pacific journey, they resolved to separate and seek adventures singly, before returning to the camp. Accordingly, the folloWing morning Captain Fer guson, mounted on an excellent horse, left his com pan ions and directed his course across a vast prairie, towards a cluster of hills, hemmed in by thick woods which bounded the bunion. Arrived at ;he foot of one of the bills, the Captain perceived a troop of wild horses slowly advancing towards him- Soddenly they broke into a gallop ; a maixeuvre which appeared suspicious, and induced our hero to watch them closely. They soon gained the level ground, and the dull sound of their hoot striking the soil, became dirt• tincily audible. The captain looked, and saw clinging to the flanks of each horse, an Indian en:. pended laorizA• nudity by an arm and a leg. This is a itommon stratagem among the Indians, bat lucki ly r‘ir, Ferguson, Le was still at a considerable (lis ta:it horn theise unpleasant looking cavaliers. Perceiving, by the sudden rapidity of his flight, that they were discovered, the Indians climbed nimbly on their horses, and pursued our hero at foil speed, shouting their terrible war cry. Lookin;z back, Ferguson observed that his ene mies spread themselves scrota theprairie, with the evident intention of cutting ofr his retreat to me He saw that his only chance r.,f satety con sisted in gaining the woods : whither his pursuers thirst n,rit foilow him, lest they encounter the out- pus , ‘ of the American troops. He did not again look behind, bct with his eyes eagerly fixed uu the yet distant goal he spurred on his horse to its utmost speed. The animal stumbl el, and the cry of the Indians became maredis tinct ; but the note animal rose again, and with a neith, as though cots: taws of the peril that mei...zed his muter, he made a prodigious lorward cooed, and clem-ed the apace which divided 111111 from the wood, with the speed of an snow. Ferguson had Joieseen, the Indians, fearing to enter the woods, came to a sudden halt ‘Althringh now comparatively out of danger, he did not es teem the neighborhood perfectly safe, and these_ lore pursued his coarse for five or six miles, wr.h out drawing bridle. Eveuing wascloseing in when it proper to pause. He tried in vain to discover where he was ; but he was not a man to yes lairci-e:f fur trifles, so he quietly resolved to pass :he nigh,; in the open air, and defer IT t h e morrow the ta.-k to find h s - xay. A clear stream bordered with shrubs ran near, and Ferguson, having villa:i d:el his horse, wrapped himself in his cloak and lay down on the gime.. At daybreak be resumed his journey, following the course of the stream. When he had gone about four anles, Ire lound the corpse of one of his com• pa:iii , us. Tae poor fellow bad been scalped, and Ferg.:::_srn's first thought was that all his friends bad prtibatlf been scrprised, and massacred singly Indeed, the nameless hog-pin:sof horses, some shod and some unshod, indicated plainly, the recent pa_-vagei of bob white 'men and Indium Slowly and cautiously he !allowed these traces craheca making any discoveries until towards the sidle of the day, having climbed up a slight eminence, he saw en the plain, at about a mile's &ranee, a fare Indian encampment. Ai the same mornert: the Indians perceived the Captain, az., leaped en their horses. Cursing his own improllence, Ferguson turned bridle, and te gan as quickly as pcestble to retrace his at ape. Ar lived at the outer border of the wood., he saw on the plain wince he was about to cross, a dense I cloud of lurid smoke extending on ei - ber side as t far as the eye could reach.

The Captain examined his horse, and roam with pleasure that the poor creature was much renover cd,and even neizhed in reply to the wetvesPhowl log. More moved by this plaintive neigh, than he hail ever been by a ht man cry,. Ferguson gently caressed the head of his steed, and then mounting, urged him towards the forest. The wolves mean while were crossing the stream in hot pursuit, their hoarse yells sounding a thousand times morereer rible than the whistling of bullets on the battle-field. A cold shudder seized , Ferguson. "II my bores should fall r he thought. But thanks to the vizi tance, and the feverish energy °Leh, animal, they gradually gained on their pursuers ; for the speed of a prairie wolf is much leas than that of a flan horse. But the pritsers of the noble creature wete nearly spent, his breathing became rapid, and hi■ !testi drooped. Yet lie still made a wonderous eflort to gain the forest, for, wilt the instinct of his hind, hi seemed to know that safety would tor found among the trees. At length the wood was gained. Fergusion gases a joyous shout, fur now he could take refuge in a tree. Tying his horse to a lower branch, our hero, climbed one quickly, and loaded hi. ranting and pistols, with a faint hope of delending die poor ani mal from the wolves' attack. From the lofty branch on which he bad taken up his position, Ferguson watched the monsters' ap proach—they were of the fiercest specie, who wi.h glowing red eyes ; and he sat that all was over with his faithful horse. They Matted on their victim—Ferguson fired amonj them ; but in a mo. ment the animal was devoured, and the empty bri. dle telt hanging on the branch. The yrolves, with gaping throats, and their whits tut•kb gtn:ning horribly, remained round the tree ; for the horse :tad scarcely famished each with • single mouthful. On - the Captain's slightest move ment they jumped up, as it to seize him before he could touch the ground.

Then a deep roaring was beard in the neighbor• ing prairie. At the sound, the wolves pricked up their ears, and darted off simolianeously in porsuir• of a new prey. In a short time Fergasan opened. his eyes, mid descried iK the plain on the corder of, the wood, in enormous buffalo, surrounded by the ravenous wo!ver, who were tgaring•him to pieces' de.pite his furious efforts to • t ape. The Captain, profiting by this furmnate diversiun, descended from his tee; and hastened to kindle the dried brandies srauered on the ground.
