LEONORA BROWN.
A STOUT OF A HFROIO OIBL
..
On the border of Green Lake, in
Minnesota, there - lived a sturdy, White
haired frontiersman named Walter
Brown. He was one cil those adven
turous spirits ever to be found in the
van of advancing civilization, always
courting the free, wild air of the prai
rie, and rejoicing in the profound
depths of uninhabited forests.
But the country became more and
more thickly settled, - and Walter
Brown became uneasy. His wife had
borne to him a daughter the. third or
fourth year of their residence at the
headwaters of the St. Croix; whom
he called Leonora. She Wits a good
girl, and the idol of her father: He
purchased a rifle for her . whe n but
twelve years old, and took the utmost
pains in teaching her the .. use of it.
She was brave and steady of nerve,
and soon acquired wonderful skill as
a shot, and the nuniber of 1 prairie
chickens, partridges, wild wat r fowl,
and other small game _she alma - id
1 to shoot each clay, was reall : btrge.
I Occasionally she would taloa a deer,
and one eventful morning, by a lucky
shi)t, through the eye into the brain,
she killed a bear. - i I . •
When she came home with the
news her father could scarcely credit
her. But knowbigh r.perfectly truth
ful iutture,he danced about the room
for joy, and seizing the sturdy little
maid, he mounted her upon his shqul
ders and insisted upon carrying her
all the way to the spot where the dead
bruin lay.
• Thicker and thicker flowed the tide
of the emigration into ?kfinnesota and
Wisconsin, following } the navigable
rivers as a matter of course, and more
and more uneasy and crowded!' felt
Walter.' At length his wife died.
Leonora was then sixteen,
and en
gaged to he married a handsome
young trapper by the name of Wat
son, who had joined her father in
business.
The de th of the mother had made
it necessary to postpone.the wedding,
and in the interim Walter decided to
move to Northwest Minnesota.
Neighbors were getting too near, and
hunting. and trapping were bad. As
the young man had proved up and
pre-empted a quarter section of land
near Taylor's Falls, he did not wish
to either abandon or sell it just then,
and persuading Leonora to.agree to
write to him, he bade her an affec
tionate good-bye.
Brown lived in Minnesota for three
or four years in peace and quiet, find
ing good trapping
and hunting
grounds, when all at once young
Watson arrived, and renewed the pro
position of marriage with Leonora.
The old wan had about determined
to move no more, and had according
fy located and pre-empted, several
thousand acres of,. land about him,
and learning from Watson that he
had money enough to do likewise,
proposed that he' should go down to
St. Paul and buy land warrants with
his money, and take up all the land
he could'" swing." He might =then
marry Leonora, and they two gO to
work, and after building plenty of
stabling, etc., would get a good stock
of cattle and sheep, and try and lead
a pastoral life for the rest of their
days.
To this proposition the young man
heartily assented, and after returning
from St. Paul, went bravely to work
in the woods, felling trees for build
ing puriipses. It was agreed first
that they should build a new hewed
log bongo for the united family, as
Watson had only got up ismall, sin
gle room cabin. Then the wedding
was to take place, and the two men
would again resume their work.
While elm busily engaged' the
Sioux war broke out. It was the hab
it of LiOnora to take . her' rifle ,out

About thirty rods to the right of the

by her father; and in' the corner of

• Now as for myself, were I not al-
ready too far in life (rising forty), I
would sell off what little I possess of
this world's.geods and make prepar- 1
ations for my debut into fashionable
society; but I feel in all' the regions
•of my soul that it is too late. So all
I can do is to leave to my posterity
(by which I mean 'those who shall
come after I shall cease to' tread this
ball) the benefit of ray' dear-bought
experience; for had I known what I
now .know, I might' (at this date)
have been boarding with a rich fath
er-in-law, and laborto me would have ,
been a matter of choice! These are 1
scenes too bright'to last, and I has
ten on to my task.
My first will be addressed to the
young-ladies, between whom and my
self (so fer'adif,am concerned) there
has always been the utmost cordiality
(if I' maybe allowed the- term) of
feeling. , But the affections of the fair
sex are more deep and less demon=
strativethan cns, so that in my whole
life I litive never received niprv? en
couragement than (for example which
ream to me) to be invited to carve
at a table of twenty of them.
To follow the fashions is all int. !

But the giggling. attitude requires
more attention because it must be of

ten all the resources of nature must
contribute to assume that, for ten tb

ever to giggle about. For such an
one my heart blec4e.
This giggling aught to &I encour
aged; it is healthy, it is often the on
ly end sole recreation which is at all
conducive to muscular development;
but care must be takai not to giggle
on too much flesh,or people will sus
pect you of being robust. But more
explicitly:—thrust that hand which
has the rings on into the pocket, and
its drawing out the handkerchief pull
out a dozen envelopes (all in differ
ent autographs), and after scream
ing, gather, heni up and meantime
blush all the colors of the rainbow.
But the colors should be mixed with
due care to create a fashionable blush.
It ought to'be a light magenta; rifl
ing gradually from the tap of the nose
till it dies away like the glory of an
Autumn sunset ; then thrust the hand
kerchief up to the nose arid try to
keep from giggling, or try_;to giggle,
1113 the nature of the case seems to re
quire. No, my precious young friend,
the knowledge of the science of Gig
gleology can never be overrated. I .
knew matrimony to result from a sin

There is another branch of the sub

Just as young John . Percival hat
concluded a wild Gennan legend,
which he. declared. "_splendid ?AO!
for dreams," the, oittside • door was
heard to open suddenly. All looked
around MOEI3 or-less fearfullY,rto see
standing on the threshold thei slight
form of a fair young woman,. Clad all
in white, and looking strangely:lmre,
and cold, and luminous, like. incar
nated moonlight.
" With the glide of a spirit " she
came forward. . - Her feet were quite
bare, and her arms were drooping
wearily. Masses-of fair hair fellover
her shoulders, but her eyes were dark
and fixed with a melancholy stare.
Her lips were !slightly parted and al-.1
most colorless. She came into the
circle about the hearth and there
paused, standing utterly motionless •
—a beautiful, appalling figure. • '
For a moment all the, startled group
remained-as. silent as . that
visitor—then one young girl s =
her breath in - a hysterical screams,
which was instantly answered - --by a
cry from the pale lipsof " the woman
in white," into whose blank eyes rush
ed q wild, keen light. She gazed
about her in terror and bewilder

self, and sank' cowering upon !the
floor, covering Ler face with her hands,
and giN ci.•

' -" She is a sleep walker !" she said.
" She must be half dead with the
cold. Girls, bring somelvrappin& !"
immediately all - was bustle. I The
farmer and his son discreetly vanish
ed from the Scene, and the kind moth

who still wept and sobbed under their
kind ministrations, but declaredlhat
she no cold and no pain, though
her delicate feet were actually bleed
ing from her long - walk up the icy'
hillside and over the crusted snow.
After haiing been 'tenderly put to
bed, however, she became sufficiently'
composed to reply to the few ques
tions which had been put to her. She
said she was Lucy net, the niece of
the village physician; that she had
lately been taken from•schcad, on ac
count of nervousness, and sent to him
for medical treatment, but that home
sickness and loneliness had made her
worse. She had o&asionally walked
in her sleep before; but only about
the house'and grounds at home, and
on snmtuer moonlights. -" I hink
the moon bewitches me," she said,
smiling, through her tears. That
night she had, before going to bed,
looked across the little valley to the
pleasant house on the hill; watched
the cheerful Christmas lights gleam
ing through the - pine trees, andhing
ed to be one of the.happy party there,
though she was a stranger to all.

that.. there is a parallel be ween an
anti-alaTery party, and an antittrani

the Mcago organization. But there
is really no parallel between the - two
cases. The man who founds his ex

President Lincoln in 1860, builds on

Thereby is ' not wise." In the year
1858, the cause -of prohibition was

emancition. But to-day slavery is
detul-4illed able by the folly of its
friends and the pluck of its enemies. .
And the rum-traffic survives in grow,

as the "gates of hell!" The party
