The Tragic Wedding.
I nut no professed story-writer, but t hero
are many tales that I have listened to of the
early times, when the red man vainly stav
ed, by wreaking his vengeance on the de
fenceless settlers of our frontiers, to gain the
ascendancy gone from him forever. These
tales are invariably interesting; first because
they are full of thrilling incidents, and then
again, because they are true.
The story of the tragic wedding is one
among the many that I have listened to from
the lips of an old friend of mine, (a pioneer
in the settlements of Northern Vermont, dur
ing the long November evenings of Itilo,
when banishing from my mind, as much
as possible, the dogmas of the much
"learned commentator." I betook myself to
the happy fireside, and gathered profit and
recreation from the old man's narrative.
Just fifty-one years ago, this very night,"
began the old man, one evening, "on the
identical spot whereSquirep s house
now stands., occured a tragedy, the remem
brpuce of which fills toe with 'horror. It
was one of the most cold•blooded transac
tions that in all my residence in the wilder
ness, of seventy years, ever came to my
knowledge ; it tilled the whole region round
about with consternation, causing mothers
to hug more closely to their bosoms their
helpless infants, and the hardy men to take
up arms and swear vengeance on their
heartless perpetrators. • Listen I will tell
it to you.
"A few of the more hearty and daring of
the early settlers of M , becoming a
little dissatisfied with their situation there,
removed into this then wild and unexplor
ed region, distant about thirty miles from
any settlements; and finding a fertile soil,
and advantageous location, built•ihemselves
log houses, and made clearings. `Things
went on prosperously with them, and they
then lived with but little fearof the Indians,
us none but a straggling hunter or two, had
been known to visit the vicinity since a bat
tle between a‘large party of settlers and the
tribe which occasionally located themselves
there, occured, in which the Indians were
signally defeated, and more than half their
number slain.
"'l•hc settlement numbered some twelve
families. My elder brother and sister were
among the numbers. Among them, us a
matter of course, was a - fair - sprinkling - of
lads and lasses, of whom. Mary S—, of
the latter sex, was a universal favorite of old
and young, and the belle or the settlement.
She was, my _young friend, a girl that was
a girt--not one of your sentimental, pale.,
I faced, wasp waisted, dainty figured Misses
of the present time ; but a bright eyed,
blooming and laughing brunette, who could
spin tow, and weave the cloth of which her
dress was made: Oh, she was a charming
girl, and wherever she went, happiness fol
lowd her footsteps. Iler guileless heart shed
its kindly influence around her, imparting
to all who came in rontact with her• a kind
red feeling. •
"Jack 11— was exactly her counterpart
brave, generous. intelligent and enterprising
a perfect man in character as well as in form.
And as there was always a rivalry among
the young beaux of the settlement in striv
ing to gain the favor and approbation of Nla
ry, so among the girls each strove to gain
the attention of Jack. The knowing onus
among the old folks planned deep schemes
fur entrapping the young couple into alli
ances best suited to their own particular in
tetests ; but Jack and Mary, disregarding
the wishes of others, had taken this matter
into their own hands, like sensible young
people, as they were ; and in spite of the plot
ting of the old ladies, they had come ton per
fect understanding, and formed an intimacy
which nothing but death alone could sunder.
"At the time of which I speak, this !nat
ter had long been settled, and all the neces
sary arrangements made for the wedding of
the 'likeliest couple in the settlement,' as
the old ladies said, which was to take place
on the Evening of the Annual Thanksgiv
ing day.
, "Thanksgiving, according to the procla
mation of the worthy governor of the prov
ince came—and young and old gathured
together at the spacious (for those times,)
house of Captain S , to celebrate the
nuptials of Jack and Mary ; and ample were
the preparations for the I east.—Bright eyed
damsels with blushing cheeks, and gallant,
!tardy young men were there. The wor
thy parson Gan the next settlement was
there also, and by his side sat another per
sonage, with whom, in these fastidious
times, it would be deemed sacrilege to asso
ehtte the man of god—l mean the tiddler.
But things ain't now as they were then.—
All has joy, all was gaily. Ali, little did
those gathered there'drearn of the awful fate
that awaited them.
"I was just then awenty-two, and having
married toe worthy wife—peace be to her
mouldering ashes—only a few months be
fore, I was unprepared to go with my broth
er nod sister at the onset, but was prepar
ing to follow diem r...s soon as my affairs
could be arranged. I had been out for a
week or two trapping sable, and knowing
%%1,4 was to come off, I made it in my way ,
to he present, '!•he gaity of the party was
now at its height.• The ceremony was just
heiniz perforined. 'l•he Minister bad pro
'Hawed the solemn word,—•\\'burn (;oil
bath joined top..t.thcr no inan Hit asund
er—the kiss was exehan”ed. and till were
crowding round the happy nit. with con
gratulations, when a yell. wild and hideous,
rent the air—the deadly war whoop of the
Indians. Terrible was the consternation of
all, and faces a moutt•nt before radiant with
happiness, turned in agony of honor to hea
ven. In an instant the doors were bursa
open, and savage after savage, with glitter
ing knife and tomahawk, rushed in to the
slaughter. My God ? what a moment was
that ? The hideous yells of the savages—
the shrieks and groans of the dying, i.hey
ring in my ears even to this present day !
I saw the tomahawk cleave the skull of poor
Jack, as he vainly endeavored to protect his
bridb. I heard the wild shriek as the dead
ly knife pierced the bosbin of the lovely Ma
ry. I saw my sister fall dead at my feet.
saw the savage's arm upraised, I felt a
stunning blow, and koew no more,
"Ilow long I remained insensible, I have
uo metros
s of knowing—l awoke as front a
fearful dream. I was nearly covered and
criished with dead bodies, to which circum
stance I probably owed my life. With a
struggle, I extricated myself from the dead
upon and around rnc,• and stood upon my
feet. The sun was shining high in the hea
vens. Oh horrors, what a sight met my
eyeS ! There, in the. blood, lay every one
that had• for Med the bridal party, not a soul
had escaped!? llow was it that I was alive?
Involuntarily I put toy hand to my head
and felt fot• my scalp ; I found the fracture.
1 had been struck with the back of a town
hawk, anti only stunned, and being covered
by my friends, the Indians had neglected to
scalp me.
"One.by one I examined the bodies of all
to see if life was remaining - in any." I found
two or three whom the savages had neglec
ted to scalp—but not one alive, The sight
was too horrid for human vision. Nlv brain
reeled, and I fell to the earth. Corning
again to my senses, I hurried from the
dreadful spot, stepping over the mangled
corpses of my sister and brother, and the
bride and bridegrooth, in the embrace of
death. I passed to the next house. An ag
ed Indy and four children lay dead in their
beds. I passed to the next—death had
been there, too. The sMoking ruins of oth
ers told but too plainly the tragic story;
there was not a living being besides me in
.the settlement.
! "When I think of that awful night—of
the horrors of the morning as I awoke to
!sensibility, thy blood curdles in my veins,
and my head swims. From tliat time I
swore vengeance on the red skins. It has
long since been accomplished
that tribe lives to tell the storyv
On my way home that night, I thought I
saw_ Indians in ever♦ bush. And when at
last I slept, the cold glare of the eyes of mur
dered men and women upon me—l was
pressed down by the weight of dead bodies.
The incidents of that tragic wedding, as I
heard them from the old man's lips, for a
long while moved before MC as a panora
ma ; so deep was the impression made up
on the by the old nian's story.
The Betrayed, or Perils of Wealth.
One of the great desires of the human
kunily, or at least of a large portion of man
kind in civilized life, is to becomeindepend
ent,affluent—toattain a position beyond the
reach of pecuniary want. Ifwe look througlr
society, this object will be found a leading
one, with ;he multitude. Riches are cove
ted by all or nearly all ; and almost every
sacrifice is [mule with the object ofattuinin ,
And
condition of wordly ii.dependence. Ad
yet it is conceded that wealth by no means
brings happiness ;.that in many case it in- I
duces habits of indolence, throws open new
avenues of temptation, and thus impairs
wealth and shortens life. Nevertheless there
are hundreds and thousands, who, already
rich and whose span of existence is rapidly
drawing to a close, who, notwithstanding toil
on as steadily as ever anxious it would seem, to
accumulaterstill more for their children, and
thus willing to subject those children to new
temptations. We may mention a case in
point. A few years since, a merchant of
this city died Suddenly, and left a fortune of !
$150,000, which he divided between his ;
widow, a son and a daughter. The son was
engaged with his huller iu business, hail be
come int-frested iii commercial pursuits;
and thus continued on it) the good old track.
Ile is perhaps, worth somewhat more at the
present day than at the decease of his pa
rent. But he is living generously arid hap-. i
pily, he attends Iris Germanic , room
overlooks his clerks, and thus usefully viii
ploys a lard` p ation of his time. But the I
widow und her daughter. Both were repu
ted worth far more than they really - were,
and they immediately became objects of ,
temptation to mercenary adventurers. The
former dis;zraccd herself by Marrying a man
much her junior, who has already contrived
to make way with a 'largo pcirtion of her for
tune. She is• by no means contented, for
now that the deception practiced upon her
has become visible, now that she sees that
her money %C.:as the,object, sire indeed feels
disappoinztal and • wretched. The few
charms she possessed in her earlier life are
;2 ,orre. turd she observes, u ith a shudder, that
Ir r. young husband regard, her in any but
an alrectionato s, irit, and that even his acts'
of courtesy amid attention are larced and con-
strained. She was tree-warned of all this,
turd those who loved and resp..cted her most
1111.Crelitit.1 fur hours before she took the fit,
tal step. But the arts of a plausible and cap
tivating luau were irresistible with a weak
and susceptible woman, and the result is its
we have stated.
The daughter, too—alas ! her case is still
worse. She was one of the loveliest of 'her
sex, amiable, (generous and confiding. She
regarded with horror, the idea of a deliber
ate scheme of deception. She was gentle
susceptible and affectionate, and would
cheerfully have made any sacrifice for the
object of her choice. To her, reciprocity
of feeling, mutual regard, were ' dearer,
sweeter than life. Nlotiev weighed as noth
ing in the scale with affection. Under such
circumstances, she was singled out with de
liberate Meditation' by •a heartless fortune
Bunter, was won, and cheerfully confided
her happiness and her property to his keep
ing.. Before the marriag,e some of her friends
ventured to speak of it distinct provision for
herself, of the settlement of a portion of her
fortune in such a way as to place it beyond
the reach of the vicissitudes of trade and •
speculation. But she heard the suggestions
with indignation. She had unbounded con
fidence in her intended husband, and would
do nothing calculated in the slightest degree,
to imply a doubt. Alas ! the fatal error.—
They were married'. They lived in appa- .
rant pace together for a•short time: But 12
months had not elapsed before the scales of
disolution fell from her eyes. She saw, and
woman's quickness in such matters is won
derful, that she was not, and never had been
sincerely loved. Death would have been
preferable to such a conviction, and for a
lung time she strove to shut it out from the
mind and heart. • But each week and month
served to render it stronger and more gall
ing. Iler fortune, too, was rapidly wasting
away. Her husband had become a profli
gate in more senses than one. He hadbeen•
poor until his marriage, and thus his taste,
appetite and propensities had,been kept in
cheek by the•force of necessity.
But now, with ample means at his com
mand and concious of having played a base
part towards his wife lie graduallybecame
more neglectful, and More reckless, more
Vicious. 'The sensitive 'nature of the heir
ess shrunk ; and she was appalled at the
prospect before and around her. She saw
that her !ife was to be one of misery, and
broken in spirit and in pride, she scarcely
struggled against her fate. .Years rolled on
and as her cheeks grew thin and her eyes
wan, the companions of her earlier years
scarcely recognized her. She was bank
rupt in hope and happiness. She had lie
rifled her all of earthly bliss on the fidelity
of one, and he had failed. At tittles she still
clung to the delusion that all was not lost,
that adversity might induce penitence, and
restore something of those delicious hopes
which memory still referred to with melan
cholly delight. But hope was vain. A few
years more, and the husband having ex
hausted his fortune and nearly broken tho
heart of his wife, was, while indulging in
some scene of revil and dissipation, seized
with apoplexy and summoned to his last
account. But she, whom lie had deceived
and betrayed—what a wreck did she pre
sent ; Prematurely old, faded and said, the
contrast with her youthful position and bril
liant prospects, was - indeed omit rnful. The
flower of her - youth was gone—the charm of
her life was over, and yet it is possible that
if she had been born to an bumble position,
or in moderate circumstanses, her destiny
would have been happier—far happier.—
But she was an heiress and a victim. She
gave her hand—her heart—and her fortune

The grandfather of Ben Abou, the presz

made a great feast at the marriage of his
daughter. One of his friends, Caitl Ma
hornmed Widden, observed a poor man in
mean attire in the court and ordered him
out ; and be not obeying, pushed hint so
that be. fell. The same night the keeper
of an oven (there are no sellers of bread ;
every out. makes his own bread at home and
sends it to the oven.) had barred his door
and retirettto rest, when some one knocked
at the door. Ile asked, "Who is there ?"
:Old:was answered. 'The guest of God,"
which means a begoor. You are welcome
he said," and got up and unfastened the
dour; and having nothing but some rem- -
nants of the koseoussoo front his supper,
and the piece of mat upon which he lay, he
warmed the koseoussoo in the oven, and af
ter bringing water to wash his guest's hands
he set it before him. He then conducted
him to the mat, and lay down himself on the:
bare ground. In the morning, when he
awoke, he found the door untitrred,and tho
poor man gone ; so he said tolihnself, 'He
had busineSs and did not wish to disturb TO:-
or he went awry modestly, being ashani4
of his poverty." On tatting up the mat
found under it two doublown: ; so he was
afraid, and Itit the money by, and determinw
ed nut to touch it, lest it had been forgotten
or lest the poor man - hod stolen it and put
it there to ruin hirer. Some time afterwards
an order came from Fez for Alahommed,
NVitlthql and the baker to repair thither.—
They Were both cundtaited to the place be- -
fore the palace to await the sultan's coming
forth.
When he appeared, they were called be- .
fore him : and, addressing the lir:st, he asked
him if Ina recollected the feast at the mar=
riage of the daughter of the Ca id of Tangier,
and a poor man whom he had pushed with
his left hand and kicked with his right foot.
Then Caid Mahommed knew whom he had
thus treated and treurbled. !Phu sultan said,
arm that struck inc and the leg that
kicked me are mine : cut them urn ' ' The
baker now said to himself. "If he has ta-*
ken the leg and the arm oil the Caid, he
will surely take my head t" solie fell dowtr
upon the earth and implored the sultan to
have mercy upon him. The sultan said to'
hint, "My son fear not : you were poor ands
took in the beggar when he was thrust forth
from the feast of the rich. He has eaten
your bread and slept on your mat. Now.
ask whatever you please ; it shall be yours.'
The Caid returned to Tangier tnained and
a beggar, and his grandson Was lately a
soldier at the gate of the Sicilian council.—
The baker returned, riding on a line mule,.
richly clothed, and possessed of the wealtlf

he passed by, -There goes the oven-Iceep
