This was a pretty little building, notwith standing it was composed of logs, for tbey were almost completely bidden from vjaw, by ckmbering vines, wbicb wore now iu all their glory of leaf and flower. This building stood ,111 ,tho cenjter of a small .clearing, which was surrounded by a grand eld forest. Immediately surround ing tho house, wero a number of beautiful trees, which, being a favorite rcsoifc of tho merry songsters of the air, that iu spring and summer carroled their melodi ous notes under tboir sheltering branches, gave rise to tho name Sibyl bestowed up on her home, "Tho Bird's Nest." Sibyl Stevens was a girl cf about eighi teen years of age a very .queen of beauty. In form sho was faultless," rather fragile, but, synictrical, aEd sho was as gracoful in mpvemest as (she was iu form ; at the saiuo time as dignified, yet affable in manners, as she was graceful in form aud movement. She possessed a cheerful, animated dispo sition, aud loved nature profoundly, ,Uer father formerly was a rich mer chant of -Philadelphia. His wife (j?a2 a woman of almost angelic purity and beau ty. Thoy wero blest with four bright children, tho eldest of whom is Sibyl, tho Other threo wero bright, lovely boys. Mr. Stevens loved his wife as men seldom love; and his children he idolized. But, alas 1 a fearful cnidemio seized upon the 111, and bore Mrs. Stevens aud her threo little sons from tho world, iu a single day. They wero buried in 0110 gravo. Tho agonies of parting with them, seemed almost too much for the borcaved ones to bear, aud, bclioving thoy would bo happier when thoro would uot bo so many ithiugs to re mind them of their loss, thoy resolved .to remove to some secluded place, whero thoy could spend tho spring and summer in re tirement, and in autumn and winter go to scmo village, whero Sibyl could attend a selwS school. Thus it was, thoy came and establiohed thomsclvcs at "Tho L'ird'a Nest." Here they spent tho spring and summer ; Mr. Stevens in the exciting pur suits of tho huntor aud fisherman, for gamo abounded in, the surrounding forest, while a short distance from his cottage was a pretty littlo lako, called Silver Lake, in which tbo finny tribes dwelt in groat abundance. Whilo ho was engaged iu llc wild r.ud soiling purnuitB, Sibyl spent her tiino in ministoring to his wanfs, in acquiring an education, in rambling through tho forest in search of tho curious or beautiful in naturo, in, not making tho ''wilderness bloom as tho rose," but in making tho roso bloom in tho wildorncss, in riding her spirited pony, sometimes ao compauied by her fathor, and comctimcu clone j and in wandering to tho lake, to enjoy horself, by gliding smoothly over thp silvery wafers, in her father's sail b.qat. Sometimes sho would grow lonely, with no company but that of her father and an old servaut, whom they brought with them from Philadelphia, then sho wpuld mount her fleet little pony, and away she would go to a gay village, somo ten miles dis tant, to visit some of her many friends thcro, for this was tho placo where their winters wero spent. At other times, fish jug narcs of tho young ladies and gentle men from tho village, would como, to tajio from Silver lako somo of its many beau tiful spotted trout ; and they would ro- main at " Tho Bird's Nest," not unfrc- queutly, for days together. Thus the spring and summer passed off pleasantly, and when tho cold winds of aufuma began to blow, they would romovo to tho villago aboyo mentioned, where Sibyl attended a seloct school, and where they remained till tho warm weather again set in. Two years had now passod round, and they had just returned from tho villago, and arranged things in ordor a(i "The Bird's Nest." It was indeed a fine morn ing in tho delightful month of May. No sender that Sibyl's bright blue eye should sparklo with delight, and that her clear, musical Yoico should shapo itself into the words, "What a beautiful morping?" as she left ,hcr father's cot, and btarted out for a morning walk. As she passed the clearing, and entered the forest, flowers that were blooming on all Bides, filled the air wiih their fragrance, and attracted her eyes by their beauty. Tho sun bad al ready climbed high in tho heavens, and was shining with more than bis usual bril liancy. Tho large forest trees, clothed in a luxurienfc foliago of livid green, now cast upon the earth a most delightful shade. Birds sang in tho trees an thoy hopped from brauch to branch, their most harico- iiious songs. A. gentle breeze waved thro tuo trcc-to)B, creating a low murmur which js Natures sweetest music. Sibyl, with her profound loyo of the beautiful in nature, could net but bo enchanted with a morning, aud with tho scenes through which she passed. Hero, she would bound to one side to pluck a pretty cwer j there, jcho would stop under some delightful shade tree, to enjoy tho refreshing shade, to listen to tho melody poured forth from tho tuneful (thrcat of some pretty songster, perched quite fearlessly upon a thin twig, 'whiqh swung to and fro in tho gentle breeze. Thus sho wandered on somo distanco, , till, having plucked a largo bunch of flow crs, she sat nown on a soft carpet of gieon moss, at tho foot or an acd hemlock, to weave them into wreath. Engaged ia this pleasant task, tho time passed' away, till sijo had completed the Wreath, and it ad . ded a new beauty to her wavy auburn hair, when a ory liko that of a child in distress, was wafted to her cars on tho wings of the gentlo breeze. j 'Oan it bo," thought she, "that a child j bas wandered away fr.oin some distant hunters hut, and is now lost iu tho forest ?" Whilo questioning in her mind, i.he sound was repeated; thoro could bono mistako aboyt it j thoso cortainly wero tho cries of tomo lost child, and sho' must search for it, and when found, tako caro of it, till its parents should discover ita whorcabouts, or till hor arthcr ' should discover theirs.' Full of theso thoughts, sho started, in great .haste, in tho direction whouco tho sound came, but beforo she had gouo far she mot her father. ".My daughter whither away so fasti" he asked. "Why, my father, hear you not the cry Of some lost Child, now in distress, Who, if succor conies not eoo'u, must die, Must die, herein Ihu wilderness." "Yes, father; but why do you maifest sp muoh surprise at that 't Could I, know ing a child 'to bo lost in tho forest, and being certain thai starvation stared it in tho Jaco, and would bo its .certain doom, unless it woro found : could I turn heart lessly away and leave it' tovdio a death so .dreadful?" "Sibyl, you aro a huutor'a daughter, aud did you know 110 bettor than this ? Follow mo, aud sco wlionco thoso sounds come," and he led her a littlo distanco from where .they woro 6Undiug, and poin ted up in tho brunches of an immense oak. Her quick eyo followed in the direction in which he pointed, and sbe orouoh- cd in an attitude of fury, a hugh panther. Ho seemed just in a position tospriug up on her father's faithful hound, who stood below, bravely awaiting tho bo,und wbjpji would bring the hugo aud furious prcaturo upon him. Sibyl's oyes grew wild with fright, and her check becamo deathly palo. Sho turned and wpuld have fled, but her fafher kept her bapk, telling that by such precipitate flight the animal's attention would bo attracted from tho dqg to her ; thcrcforo sho quietly stepped aside, so thuf; the trunk of a largo tree camo between hor tjid the crcaturo's range of sight. Her father camo to her, and taking, from his pouch a number cf buckshot, added them to tho load already in his trusty riflo. "I fear," said ho, "I may not bo able to kill tho hard-lived animal, with Jhia load, for I was not expecting to meet such gamo as this, and consequently brought with mo only a small quauty of ammuni tion, iho Jas't of which is now in tho gun, and is too littlo, by half, for so tough a creature, and yet, I must try it, let tho consequences bb what thoy will, for I can- uot think of going away and leaving brave Jiion a prey to this furious creature." 0 saying, ho took a position from which a goqd view of the panther was obtained. Taking good aim, his finger touched tho trigger, and thcro was a loud, almost deaf ening report. Tho panther reeled from its position, uttering a cry of pain, but clambering baok again, it reached its for mer position, lashing its tail in anger, while its eyes flashed fury. Its attention was now fixed upon Mr. Stevens, and, making ono bound i,J alighted upon the grouud a short distaneoN from where ho was standing. Crouching J,o the earth, it made one more bound at tho objoct of its hatred, but ho was prepared for it, and, springing to ono side, it wont past him. Now suddenly wheeling round, the but cf his riflo was brought with all the force of his strong arms, upon tho pauthcr's head. This appeared to stagger it, and, stepping closer, lac prepared to fellow up his ad vantage, when, quick as thought, tho in furiated beast sprang upon him, and bore him to tho grouud. By this time Lion, tho fearless hound, came to his master's f aid. Sinking his teeth deep into tho pan ther's neck, he gaye it 'suih a shake as loosen its hold upou his masters cio'ijldcr, where it ha'd fastened with all the might of its fury, its loiig sharp fangs. Tho pau ther now sprang upon the dog, but, in fall ing to tho earth with the pauther's im mense weight upou him, Mr. Stevens was so stunned that he was still insensible, .consequently tho dog could receive r.b help from its inastor. For a time it seemed doubtful which would gain tho mastery, the faithtul dog, or tho w'cunded panther. Sjbyl now calmed, jher feelings and hor steady voice gave encouragement to Lion who fought with all a dog's instinctive r 0 - . 1 ; 0 courage. Now it would appear as though Lion would gain tho victory ; and then (th3 panther seemed to gain a now advan tage; then, again, Lion would spring with renewed vigor upon his formidable Antag onist. And .thus tho fight went on the result, still doubtful, wheu a voica sounded plain ly in Sibyl's oars ! it said : "Step aside, if you plcace Miss, and I will put an end to this.'' Sibyl turned around, and before ,her stood a young man cf gentlemanly dress and bearing. Nothing could bo more ma jestic than his fine cpmmanding form; and his features woro pleasing in tho extreme. Ho bowed, gracefully, to her, and after rcturnipgrtborcalutation, slio s'tepp'ed asido vhen a woll aimed bullet from his riflo, did well its work, and laid tho panther low in death. Sibyl now turned to tho gentleman, and after thanking him for what be had douo, implored h'uholp for hor'ifa,thcr. ' '' Tho two now went up to hiuij and, Had ing him still unconscious, the stranger took from a portmantau which ho held in his hand, d silver cup, aud going to a spring a abort way off, he filled it'wi'tli jho pure cold water, of which, when ho returned, ho spriuLlod somo gently ou tho wounded man's faco, aud then placed tho cup be tween his partc.d lips, and, when con soiousuess was restored, ho drank eagerly of tho cooling draught. Now taking a handkorchiof, tho generous strauger bound Diccly tho wounded shsu'ldcr. After this was douo Mr, S'tcvcns thanked him sin cerely for tho favors he bad douo him. ''Your servicer, Sir," ho said "will ov or be thankfully appreciated. Allow mo to ask to whom I am so much indebted,' "Mr. Stevens," said the Btrauger archly "I did not expect you would rcmembor tho boy, a tou of ono of yocx friends ia Philadalphia who used to visit aj; ytnr house so frequently, but I did expect to bo recognized by your daughter." "0, Herbbcrt St. piair!" ejaculated Sibyl, bounding to lib sjdo, and extending her soft, white hand , which ho took in both his, and pressed fervently to his lips ; "Herbert it has been two long years Binoo I saw you, and you havo changed muoh in that time, yet at any other time I should have instantly recognized you, but, in the ezoitcmcnf of suoh an occasion as this, is it to bo wondered at that I did not know you!'' The father now greeted him warmly; after which tbo trio proceeded to the house, Mr. Stevens, much weakened by t&o loss of blood, leaning on Herbert for sup. port. Herbert St. Clair, as already stated, was tho son of'jlr.' Stevens' chosen friend iu Philadelphia. Silbyl and young t.- Clair, attonded tho same school, and, cb;l drcn though they were, each entertained for tho other a sincere and growing affec tion, and when they were about to leave the city, Herbert came to bid her farewell, J , .' t i 1 i, . i Wfth tears in his eyc3 he said: - "Sibyl we arc now about to part, may I not have permission to meet you at your home in tho far west? Darling 1 love you; spurn not my boyish love, for it is as strong and as devoted as though I were a full grown man. 1 am an Artist, seyeral of my pictures aro already jn the market, when you are gone, I will redouble my diligence, I will win fame may T not then come and claim you aB my own Sibyl! "Herbert, you have told mo that you have loved me, receive my assurance, now, as I am about to leave you, that tho sen timent that warms your noble heart, beats as high in mine. You have asked it, I will bo yours, yours forever;" was her re . 'Thus they parted; and ho had now come (to ask her to redeem her promise. He h'ld gained fame ; ho was an artist ono of i.fuorie's best. Hi3 promise was now fulfilled, and he askok her to fulfill hers. Mr. Steven sanctioned tho match, aud in loss than three peeks from that day they were on a wedding tour o Philadel phia. Years have passed since then. Mr. Stevens is 'now iu his grave. Herbert St.- Olair and his lovely wifo aro just in tho prime of lifo; theirs lias been, iiideed, happy lot. Threo children havo been giv en thorn to gladden their hearts, theyoun gest of which, a charming little lass, with wavv. auburn hair, the very picture of her mother, is' called Sibyl.' ' ' Upon tho sito of "T. B. N." is erected a splendid mansion, which is now, Mr, St. Clair's country residence, whilo the village wo havo spoken of, has become a flourishing city, tho capital of one of the western states, and contains the Govern ors mansion, now occupied by Herbert St. Clair.
