LN INCIDENT IN THE EMILY HISTORY OF
About ninety years ago the events
of my story commence& - It was in
Vermont, within the limits of the
township of Rockingham- or Spring
field, it is impossible to say which,.
that the log cabin which was the
home of the heroine stood, surroen-.
ded by a forrest. 'The real' names of
the actors in tljis tragedy of the
woods have 'passed out of She legend,
and therefore, substitute named which
come to my mind. '
" I have finished my spinning, Rob
ert, and I shall carry the yarn home
to-day. I think I will spend the day
with Mrs.-Green, and wish you wo'ld
come , and meet me and bring the ba
by home," said the young . wife, ' tak
ing the linen yarn in her apron and
the baby on her arm.
" Very well," replied the husband;
giving his, crowing child a kiss, as he
started off with his hoe over his
shoulder to his wheat field. His jot
had been burnt over and sown with,
wheat, but the huge stumps of the
`old trees, and the thick underground
roots hi the new land, prevented the
use of the plow.
. All day he worked busily in the
fresh soil, with the strange wood
sounds abouthim, eating his lunch at
noon from , a little , basket; until the
lengthened shadows of the forest
around his clearing betokened sun
set. Then he started off to meet , his
wife. A mile or Aro in the forest his
neighbor Green had made a clearing.
He went on, without meeting his wife
and baby, until he got to his neigh
bor's door,

"Why," said Mrs,Green, fin answer
to his inquirieEt, ", didn't you meet
her ? She hasn't been gone long—
only a few minutes:"
" Can she possibly have missed the
marked trees?" asked Robert 11arris,
aghast.
"Do not t be alarmed, neighbor
Harris," said Mr. Green,' " I will go
back with you."
The two men went together through
the forest, which every momentgrew
darker and drearier. They called
rs. Harrite: name aloud at intervals,
b t there came no reply. They kept
sayittg to each other,." We-may'find
her atbome," but they were heavy
at heart. N, -
The log heikse was reached, but the
mother and baby were not. there.
The cow towed tktke milked, and the
pigs, who ran in ttle N woods all, day
and came ti6me at night, olatnoted
fo: their usual feed, but the men took
no notice of them. Back again

"A woman lost I" What telegram
in the exciting days of battle ever
fell more thrilling, on human ears
than those words, going from mouth
to mouth among the homes o a new
country ?
With iron muscles and determined
wills the war m-heartedlsettlers star
ted out. "Wu will scour the Woods;
_we will find her, never fear 1" Ac
cording to a custom they had stench
times, they blew dinner horns, built
fires, and shouted Audit they were
hoarse. No tidings of the lost ones
that night. All the next day limy
searched, and' day after day as long
as possihle. Fires were kept smut
daring among the Vera, men, who
knew the• woods kept resolutely to
the search, hut the budding April
forest had ita own secrets. •

decay was betting rapidly over it.—
Then she looked about 'for a' spot
where she Might, dig the tiny genie,
so deep that the wildcat and wolf
iould not scent.it out. Weak as she:
was, this was no'`easy task, but in
her wanderingsahe came upon a giant
tree, upturn at some former time by a
hurricane. In, be soft earth- where
the roots had lain, she scooped out
the baby's resting. place, and, making
it soft with moss, . covered the sold
little form forever from her eight.—
Hour after hour passed ; bow to com
mence the dreadful pilgriMage? Then
she noted everything about the spot.
Here - waa'a rock, there stood an im

with Robert.
Then began the struggle through
the , ,wilderness. Day after day, week

were worn to fragments and fell from
bee: feet. Her garments were torn to
tatters. But the days grew. warmer,
and the fever that was bliming in
her veins made event:the soft showera,
that 'fell , upon her welceme., First
she ate the buds of trees and ifie'bark
of ihe birch. Presently she, began to
find the young checkerberry leaves,
and ilow and then she came upon a
patridgr's nest;-and greedily sucked
the egils. After a time" , , there • were
red raspberries, , and black th.iruble
terries in the woods, lind then she
knew it was July . . The trees had
now put on afresh their , beautiful
garments: But for the delicious po
etry oue finds iu the woods, saunter
iug out from the busy world ,for an
'hour, she cared notig. She saw
nothing but trees, trees, in intermina
ble succession. It seemed years, yes,
ages ago, that she swept the ' hearth
with a birch broom, and sung the ba
by to sleep in. Robert's cabin. Her
mind grew bewildered, still-she Went
on, on, on: When she came to a

in 4am - int through:: - Bat she had
become, quite ' accustomed ' to the
tough work and the frenzy at laist
- became a'steady, constant habit, al
most the labor of lifeAo her.
One day . in October the Inhabi
tants of the 'tillage of Charleston,
N. R., was startled into the Wildest
excitement by seeing a nearly naked
emaciated woman, with her hair
streaming, upon her shoulders, walk
with berwildered 'gaze along , their .
streets. I , She told theukshe was Rob
ert Haree's wife, and that she was
lost
Rabertilarris'e wife, who disap;
peered. from the opposite side-of the
river in 'Aprilr exclaimed the vil
lagers. " How had' she , crossed the
Connecticut? Where had site been
all this time?"
Bat she told . them that she had
never crossed the :Connecticut, and
that she bad been lost in the. woods
all this time ' There was no lack of
hospitality ' 7 the wanderer was-imme
diately clad and fed and cared for to
the I utmost. Volunteers went 'at
once and brought ;her husband, for'
the I story of his bereavement was
weltknown on the Chaileston side of
the iver.
-. can onlYlinagine. the meeting,
a ! : ( lthe tears that were,shed'at the
thought of the little, forsaken grave
by'the uprooted tree. But it said
that joy hells were ruug in the vil
lage,,and the poor ',Woman a living.
skeieteui wea l unriied and petted—
.everybody viet p ng ..with het neighbor
to lavish-every good thing upon her
—until her weakened mind recover
ed its tone again:. -
As she constantly asserted she•had
never crossed the riser, it is suppos
ed she wandered into !Canada, and
going round the . Connecticut at its
source, or crossing where -it was, a .
,brOttlet,passed down the NeW Hamp
shire hide, Until, she reached a loca
tion ji i ist opposite that from which
she started.
When she begab to grow strong
again her mind recurred constantly
to the grave. in the wilderness. She
decried to her husband its surroun
dings, and he went and searched for
it, but withouti success. As soon as
she was able, ate? went out with her
husband and other friends to search,
but the baby's grave was never
found. '
-- I was thought very strange that
she, in all her wanderings, never met
a roving Indian, but so it was. The
Indian tribes had perhaps nearly dis
appeared from 'New England since
tit French and Indian war; but how
eve that may be,, the ' fi rst human be=
fling so saw, alter the . burial of her
infant, `was in, Charleston.
, This singular legend has descended
to the writer from a descendant of
hers, who was the third child. born in
the town of Rockingham, Vermont;
and the story is ampndotibtod fact.

Two Wends, who had been scitool- •

tered a celebrated- Irish regiment.—
One day, after dinner, at the mesa ;
some badinage took . place between .
them, which certainly was- not so far'.
removed frOm school familiarity, nor.
so sufficiently adapted t6 : the precis
ion of military punctilio, as by some
of the company wascousiaered neces-
miry. Two officers well. known fur
their love of duelling took up the sub
ject, and at length gave them to_en
derstabd that they mint have a shot
or - two at one another;.Or leave the
regiment in 'disgrace - . 'The. two o
cers were a major and aldelebiated .
captain, both. natives' of the sister
kingdom. The fate of the young
friends was inevitable, and their very
kindinstructors in the necessity of
the measure voluntarily offered their
.servicec alfseconds in the4affair. A's
they waked to the field of blood,
without a grain of animosity against
one another, but with no little di
pleastire against their friends _upoia -1
the occasion, who would lifiten to no J
excuse, apology, or explanation ..
Calamy, having a moment's oppoi r
tunity of speaking ) to Trollope, apart,
•
whispered.:
" I'll fire at your second; if ,you'll
fire at mine." -
" Agreed," replied Trollope.
When they came upon the ground',
and all due preliminaries. had taken
place, off went their pistols together
in a'straight line .at their-'secands."
The' major And the.
• captain were
startled, and - were' found very
_ready. -
