While Mr Randolph was epeak
iajr, the wind lulled lor a few mo
ments and there came a. cry tnat
caud John Olorer to . wub
terrtr. Mr. lUndolph who was
crouched beneath a tree, Marted to
his feet and laid his hand on his pis
tol. Again tbe cry broke fjrth, and
. Mr. Uaudolpb commanded John to
search in the saddle bK f-"" a boX
of matches.
"It's some wild auima!, I suppose,
said Glover, bw tee;h cbauro wiib
fear.
"So," said Mr. Uaodolph, wh ve
practiced ear knew the cry of beH-ti
too well to be deceived, " 'ti a hu
man voice, and the cry is one of dia
trees."
In a few moments Air iliocwlpb
liad lighted a pocket larr.eru and e
peering about him with J.-ba (Hover
caiitiousl? btandias ia the rear.
"Fillfiw mc. Jobn." eaid Mr. lUn-
doVa. and immediate!? he puf-hed
ht wsv amor the bustses. while he
libtned for a repetition of the cry.
Once again it came, aad it seemed
so near to him that Le staited back
and stood perpleiei. Just tbea a
vivid fla?b of lightning lit up tbe lor-
est, and be saw eomeUiug whue ly
ing uou tbe ground, about a dozen
yards in advance.
Air. Randolph darted forward and
eeiaed the object, which proved to be
a fema'e child oi some eighteen
months old, who was bidlv bitteu
on the fbouider by some wild ani
mal, lie look the lin e creature iu
bis arms and carried ber back to
where the hoi tee were tied
"Wbut are ycu going to do with
it, sir ?" inquired John.
"That thought was crosfciog my
mind af that moment," replied Mr.
Randolph, "I can scarcely imagine.
First, I must, try &ud di.-cove who
bas lost a child ia this pt:t of tbe
cjuntry, and by that means endeav
or to find out tbo parents of tbis poor
creature."
"And fuppose you c&a't find
them ?" rupgeeted John. .
"Then I euripo?e I .hali Lave t".
adonL ber as mv d-uzLter," reolied
Mr. Racd.4ph.
' But you are not married sir,''
raid Jobn.
"And never am likely ta be," re
sponded Mr. Randolph, upon wbos
mind came the memory of one b;
loved who bad pa.-d away from
earth, and left a lonely man.
"We must nt ac'.icipate," be con
tinued. "To morrow may bring the
parents of this poor little child to
tight."
When davligbt came Mr. Ran
dolph found tbat be had wandered a
pood way off the road, acd tSe sun
was well op ere be gained the cabin
at tbe edge of the forest. It was in
habited by an old hunter by tbe name
ofStuLbs. He gave Mr. Randolph
beany welcome, and was not long
in preparing a hot b'tukfuf-t.
' Well, I never heard of eucb a
th tg before," said Stubby lot-king at
tbe child with curiot-ity. "There's
no one living within twenty miles of
this place, and 1 can't imagine bow
she came to be io the wood. Old
Hill IS moot's cabin is a good twenty
miles from here, and Dan Neal is ten
miles from him, and that's all the
psople there are this tide cf the State
line. Neither Dill nor Pan are mar
ried, and it's passing etraoge where
the yonog one came from "
"I wifb you would take a ride 1
through tbe forest," eaid Mr. Ran
dolph to Stubbe. 'Teke the whole;
day to search for some person claim
ing this child. I will remain here
until you return," and be pla.:l a
piece of gold iu tbe Lu titer's palm, j
"I'm afraid yon '11 hae to father
that yooog one," Le eju'laimed, ad
drest-irg Mr. Randolph, 'I've ridden
nearly fortv mile to. dav, and l-'-ar
netbiog from eotbttlr who bas list
child. r:hpj she Las been
iotj
purposely."
Mr. Racdilph looked ecrfous.
Such an idea bad not orearrr-d to
Lim, bnt from the moment he heard
the words of tbe old buntrr te men
tally vowed thfit be would adopt the
child if ttr parents were not discov
ered. Seventeen years later, Mad?e
Randolph, as tbe foundling was de
nominated, had become the reigning
b?lle of the town of L
Mr. Randolph had occasion to
make a trip to ibe State of P jur
at) go, in Mexico, and for tbe purpose
joined a party of traders who were
starting - from Independence. All
the men weot armed, and bad much
experience in Indian fighting; so
they felt pretty much at ease oo that
core.
After two wteks' travel bfyocd
Smoiy Hill Fork, tbey came upon a
careo of Siena Indians who had a
white woman in bondage. Several
cf the traders oflered to purchase ber
freedom, bal she was tbe wife ot a
chief who refused her anr proposi
tion involving ber Jeavirg bun.
Tbe
poor creature seemed particularly de
sirens cf entering into conversation
with ber countrymen, but the Indi-
ne rudely thrut ber back wben she j
implored to be taken back to civil
fzed life.
Tbat afternoon tbe Indians broke
ip their camp and went away west
ward. Tbe traders had donb'.ed
their effers to the Indians, but tbey
would not release their capn've. The
came night, when tbe traders were
in camp tbey were suddenly aroused
by the eoocd cf approaching horfce-j
hoofs coniisg at a rapid gallop. A :
few moments later and the woman
whose freedom tbey btd been trying
to obtain, sprang from a pony, ex-'
-claiming r - - i
"For heaven's sake, my country-!
aen do not give me op. I bars es I
caped but ;hey w 11 soon I e after
me."
The traders iot-iantly held a coun
cil. The savages outnumbered them
weuty to one ; there was no hope of
making a 6ucce.'ul reeistance.
"Sums one must fly w ith the wo
man back t3 Independence and
there's not a moment to be lost,"
cried several voices. " Whol! do H V

"I have no property to risk,- said
Mr. Randolph, af.er a few moment, s

ia tbe attempt."
A few minutes later asd Raudopr
and the woman were flyiog fAs: s

Jvi before tbe break of day the
Indians appeared at the trader's

that Ibey -ould nave to ob.ain rein

the traders in peace.
Aficr two days' bard tiding, Mr
Randolph and tbe woman n ached a
post of drgjjoin soldiers and -vtre
giren e.coit wb-. Sf J-bem fafe to
Leavenworth. Tbe foll iwioy la tbe
siorv the poor woman told Mr. Raa-
- B - L -
"I wa born of respectaoie parent,

Such, iu brief, wa3 ice hiatory giv
en by tbe poor woman, whose name
wart Bakrr.
Mr. Randolph listened with breath

when fcle had concluded be ai-ktd

of he month and the year ber mis

"One clear starlight eveniug iu

I ence heard this ateedoti of
Judge rarsoas, said the Rew. James
Freeman Clsti, the great Massachus

tbat beiag about to try a me.rantile
rase, be ordered a jury to be sum
moned, and among tbe names was
that of Thcmas II. Retkias, the lead
ing mercoaui or oston, aua a per

the cfS 'cr made hi return, be taid
down a ft r dollar bill before the
Judge. ,
"What is thai" said Parsons.
"Mr. Perkins says be is very busy
indeed, to-day, and prefers to pay
bis fiae,"
"Take that back to Mr. Perkins,"
said tbe Judge, "and tell him to come
here at once : and if be refuses, bring
him by force."
When Mr. Perkins appeared, the
Judge Lokfd tternlr at him acd
said:
What do yoo mean, sir by sending
moner when too were summoned to
sit on this jury ?"
Mr. Perkins replied: -
' I meant no disrespect to ibe court,
yenr Honor; but I was extremely
busy fitting out a ship for lis East
ladies, and I thought if J paid my
fine I might be excused." -
"Fitting oat a tt'ip for the East

"and bow happens il tbat you are

ambition. A generation or two ago
the man of letters was so rare a char

to refpect tbe tas'e and sch(loar-bip

or of f Tiune. Toe prices - wbicb en
riched the eloKB of his life are ihe
well-earned fruit f tbe hard and per
severiair labors cf more tbau hiitv
years. From the day when hp set
out, po'ir and uuknowo, to make ibe
tour of Europe ith kcap'ack and

leeiing tbe influence t this virtue.
uuuuv cauia a-io. iiui withnnt
perceiviog that thisf nigh literary
merit was a reflex of (in earnest and
simple nature. If there ia a lonjr re
memtraace for honest men, there is
no less a long lire for 1 honest books.
It is a golden lesson fr authors and
journalists tbat in this, instance liter
ary honesty and personal uprightness
have secured a brilliant success in
life, and an eudunng Uputation.
There is little doubt that if Mr.
Taylor had lived t complete the
