It was in the mouth of November. The
day had : been cold and gusty, with occasional
dashes of rain, and the evening, which set in
promi. to be one of gloom and tempest.
The wind went rushing about that low, mourn
ful. ,hovel which is known only in autumn
time, lashing the naked hem& of the old
forest trees with its furious surges, whirling
the dead leaves "which lay heaped'in the dark
rivineS into-the inealstrom eddies, and driving
everything before it, with a violence that made
them only too glad to flee. The clouds, which
had'hung in scattered masses While" the liVid
sun sent its struvling beams among, them,
gathered themselves into ti.single mighty one
and - shronad the - heavens as with a pall,
threatening every moment to burst into drench

and help them too, for a cold and weary time

in this wilderness : though lest one there
strould - be; I'll do what 1 can to give them a

planted the huge knotty stick into a. bed of
ciimson coals and tilled the space between it

,armful of light, dry kindling, w hich soon burst
into a brilliant blaze, not only scattering light

steaks from the, wild deer, a stew of birds
which he had shot tvbile standing in the doe''
of his cabin, and cakes of powdered corn, nice

rough' hearth. , A relishing meal it was, too,
for the hands of.a loving and gentle wife had,
cooked it all, • and honest, sturdy toil had
awakened that keen zest for food which the
idler never knew.
"A supper fit for a king," said he, as he
returned to his cozy place before the fire.
"We shan't starve yet a while, Mon—not in
the woods, and strength in these brawny arms.
keep a warm hope in your heart,.li ttie
wife, and our home will yet be a bonny spot !"
And then he folded his hands on his bosom,
and bent his head, and seemed to be reading
bright faiies in the waria firelight. And
when her light evening chores were done up,
his %Nile drew her seat cloA! beside him, and
as we are all wont on such stormy nights,
when the hearth-stone beams, the two warmed
their young memories and strengthened the
pinions of hope. And the evening sped on
wildly and awfully without, but calmly and
fire; whose streaming light was the only star
that gleamed in that dun old forest.
"Well keep the fire up all night, and as
bright as we can, too," said the brave pioneer,
as, ere he leaped into bed, instead of raking
the coali,, he anew on a fresh bundle of splints :
"it is too awful a night for me to sleep sound
and I may as well tend it as not. God help
them that roaw,if any there be, and guide them
this way. It shall never be said that. I dark
tried my fire in a night lik - e this."
Once aul twice did he rouse himself from
the slumber that in
_spite of his awe of the
storm would steal over his senses, and renew
the blaze that was dying away, but then as
the rain ceased its dashing. and tell only on
the rough roof with its lullaby tone. and thy

. brave and right loyal descendant of
those red men who., ere the pionoer girded his
tit:es; was king of this wide old wood. Many
a long, weary mile had he travelled since
dawn. and when the dark set in so stormy and
.cold, he had drmw his torn blanket about Win
and sought only' to nd in the grove some hal
low" in which to lie down , and eliat.t the death,
hymn that had rung all day in his cars. A
long time, he Wandered, entangling himself yet
deeper in the intricate windings of the dense
old wood.— But just when his tl!et lagged most
amthis heart was sorest, a beam from the
woodutan's fire lit on his path, and lit, too, a
hope in his, bosom. -He followed the ray, and
ere the last brand had fallen, was so near the
home, that his Indian eye could track the path
which itajklwner had made in' the forest, and
fillTifw it to his door. '
_ But here he paused awhile. Would the
white man be kind !to' his - red-faced brother
and give him the food he craved and a skin by
the lire ?
"Me try hiM," said be, as he pushed against
the door, —me. try Imn,—he good to toe, ine no

woodsman awoke, startled, but not afraid.
One bound brought hint to the door, and with

open and he was bade to come in awl be wel

"Friend nor foe stands outside my door-on
a night like this," said the sturdy host, as he
threw on a generous armful of his light wood,
and raked out the coals till they were all of
glow.
-Me your friend, and me no forget," said
the Indian, in a voice emphatic though weak.
as he sank ou the hearth-stone, tore off his
blanket that was dripping and cold, and sill
feted the warm, rosy light' to creep over his
great brawny limbs and redden the cheek that
had never beeb pale before.,
"And your friend ; for God knows by
your looks you need one," responded the brave

he set out the remains of the evening meal, and
then drawing out a clear bed of coals, laid over
them a generous slice - Of the noble deer be had
slaughtered himself, and had soon. a smoking
meal to tempt the hungry palate of his guest.
Then casting'a bundle of skins on; the floor,
close to the hearth stone, and taking from off
the bed whereon lay his wife, trembling i'a
silent terror, a heavy blanket, he told the poor
'lndian to rest himself there till morning, and

lighter and happier than When lie rose, he lay.
down again, drawing
his pale companion close
ly to his breast, and quieting her fears with
endearments as gentle and soothing tis those a
mother bestows on a frightened child.
When,they awoke-in the morning their In
dian guest_lay still on the floor in a sound. re
freshing sleep. When he rose from his rustic
couch they asked him not whence he had come
nor whitherlie was going, but only to partake
of their hospitalities so Fong as he thought lit.
With Indian taciturnity, he said nothing, but
ate with' them, and then lay down again, and
in this way passed two days. On the morning
of the third, when the hearty breakfast had
been disposed of, he drew his blanket around
him and went to the door. As be crossed the
threshold,, he turned Ins face to the still seated
husband and wife, and said einphatically,'
'Tale face good to Indian—we no forget ; •
and as 'arrow darts from its bow when the
strong arm draws, he sped from the sheltering
roof and was lost almost instantly in the mazes
of the - dense old wood.
For . sonic weeks the incident was dwelt upon
frequently by the family, but gradually- it fa
ded from their memories, and "as years passed
on, it was only once in a while recalled at the

manly bearance of hi: ca ptiv SQimpressed
the Indians that they relaxed somewhat their
severity, and occasionally allowed him to wan
der ofr a piece into the wools. or to ramble be
side the river. He was seated one bright au
tumnal afternoon on a log that had fallen close
to the water's edge, sadly musing on his lone
and desolate condition, and wondering if he
should ever again ss;e the faces of those whose
memory was so holy, when s o ddenly a low
cooing sound,,like the notes of a dove, broke
the deep silence. that rehoied. 1-high heard it
for some moments without ol,serving it very
closely. 'for he was imentiv looking into his
darkened future. But after a while it struck
him that the sound w;is an unusual one for the
spot, and somewhat. wersed in Indian ways, he
recognized it as one of those signs by which
they express sympathy, pity or alfection. and
he gazed cautiously around to see if some hu
man liirm was nut concealed in the vicinity,
wild with joy, at the thought that amid the
dusky warriors who surrounded hint, one there
might he whose heart had yet a loving pulse.
A chimp of low tangled bushes grew just back
of his rude seat, the only spot close .by that
could conceal a friend or foe. He fancied, as
he gazed there, he beheld it then, move—he
was certain of it—and it could not he the wind,
for scarcely a breath was stirring. Then
noiselessly som , e branches pushed aside, and
from the opening there peered the red face of
a stra nor Indian. Intently it looked upon
the captive, so intently that its gaze was !ike
a marvelous fascinatton to him, and he stoou
row(' to the spot. Ina few moments the
branches were pushed still lather aside, arid
a braWny red 'arm was visible. It held in its
fingers impair of moccasins, it turned them up
and down and around, and then pointed them
southward, w , hile from the stern lip issued the
saute cooing sound. The heart of Hugh
leaped tip with a quickened life, and 'he mai
starting to the side of the unknown;but as he
felt now, friendly stratiger, when the signal
whoop for-his return was sounded front the
camp. The Indian pressed his hand - to his
mouth in token of secrecy,,again waved the
- moccasins itr tolcen — of escape', and darted
through the hushes and out of sight so quickly,
that it scented tO the observer the earth most
have swallowed him.
More bravely than ever (lid Hugh now hear
his captivity, for hope-burned brightly in his
bosom. There wasscinething in the mien Of
the unknown Indian which assuted hilts he
was plan-Inn(' .his deliverance; and though he
could not eoneeive who he was, or why he
had taken so deep an interest in him, he was
satisfied that in time, through means prepared
by him, he should see again his beloved home
—elav again his beloved family..
Many days passed ere he saw another token,
Ina one sunny morning as he sat on the
ground floor offlis wigwani. - engag,ed in one of
his menial ditties, the broad belt of sunshine
that streamed in through the entrance was
suddenly obscured. and raising his eyes, Hugh
• beheld the same red face that had peered
through the bushes; It was but one look he
had chance to give ere it had vanished, but
in another instant from the rear of the wigwam
issued the same cooing notes that had so.
sweetly disSurbed his mouraid revery once
before. In - another instant the shadow again
intercepted the simbentos, fleeing almost as
quick as seen. As it passed, Hugh left, rather
than saw that something was thrown in ; but
when, as the sunsliiicr again played upon his
- knees;ie - befietil a pair of muecaatnsresting
there, a wilder, stronger pulse beat in his
bosom, for he felt that the hour of his deliver
ance was nigh.. Ile remembered that on the
morrow a "-sand hunt came off, and he knew
that on such occasions all the bravest of the
braves were gone, awl Wee:v(l that am- he
should be left as he had been many times be

,Jected that as the propitious time to effect his
escape.
With leaden wings rolled on the hours that
intervened between the token and the tittle.—
But the' morrow's sun dawned at length, and
with its first beam the hunters sped away.—
But so many duties had they left for their cap
tive to perform, that it was late in the alto
noon ere he could repair to his accustomed
scat beside the liver. But all day his so►ne
what weary heart had been cheered by`those
cooing sounds that hist woke hope. Now they
seemed circling in the air above him, now
stealing up out of the mossy ground and anon
floating as it were on the breath of the few
flowers that yet smiled on life. As he neared
the water. louder and clearer rang the notes.,
and following them, he wits led a mile or two

of the long absent one can only be conceived,.
when, on reaching its summit, lie beheld close
at braid the valley of his choice, the home of
his heart.
When his emotion was somewhat pnssed, he
turned to his deliverer. and in the mute but
expiessive signs - of Indian language told his
thanks. The red man heard him through, and
then pointing at the dwelling allugh, said in
the In ief words he had learned of the Eitg

Oftener than ever did llngh's'little ones, as
they bounded on his knees, beg for the story of

Dan- Vice's Gratitude.
An interesting ; incident related - of Dan
Rice. the celebrated circus performer,in a late
number of the Reading Gazet/c. - It appears
that some fourteen years ago Dan left Reading
with an exhibition of some sort, which turned
ont hatny, and involved the_proprietor in (lift;
'..Judge Ileidenreich, of Berks county,.
found him in this condition, gave ban a suit
01 doilies. and lent'him a horse'and wagon, in
order thnt he might pursue his business. Dan
was still. unsuccessful, and destitution ' soon
overtook him again, while. to add to his dis
tress, his wife tt as taken sick. in this dilem
ma he was forced to sell the horse and wagon.
hich the "Jinige had only loaned him, in
order to raise means to take his„wife home to,
Pittshurgh. Not lung after this he obtained a
situation in one Of the thew: mg or Phifadelphic
where the Judge recognised
loin, and in the Incii•tdrig:called
Dan was still .poor amid
,seedy, and res
pected reproitebes, if .nothing worse, from his
old patron, but instead of thole the Judg,clll-`
listed on his going a :second time to a tailor's:
and being fitted - . out at.his expense. To this,
floweret, Dna would, not. consent, and :they
parted, never meeting again until onkiday last
week, when his Company was performing Illt
Reading, and t he• Judge eaMe down to; attend
t..outt. Dan's first. duty was to hunt-op his
old triend„ and ilWitellita to take•a short drive
about town, to whieli lie consented, hilt: a

his shoes were the worse for wear. The at

nine-and-a-halls, was perplexed as ito the
means of folly aiding them. At last he thought
of the tilt graph —the tine to Marseilles ran
through his village. lie put tho address-on
one of the soles and slung the shoes over the.
wire. A pedler passing by struck by the
solidity of their workmanship, appropriated
them e
place. The next morning the old daddy re
turned to the ,put to see if the telegraph had
executed his cotim.h4sion. Ile saw the stt{,•
stittition which had been effected. —L row."
he exclaimed, "if Joseph hasn't already suit
back his old ones."
