Ills father left him the sole possessor of twenty-five acres of arable land, and a snug little cottage, why' had descended from father to son, through many generations. The 'grotind plot, which had been suffi cient to ruaiutein Lis honest progenitors for several ages, in the palely days of Bri taia's glory and independence, era her vast resources passed into the hands of the few, and left the many to starve, was not e nough to provide for the wantsof our stout yeoman sod his family, which consisted at that period of three sods and one daughter, i a blooming girl of ten years, or therea• bouts. Richard. and his boys toiled with unceasing diligence ; the wife was up late and early, and not one moment was left unemployed . ; and yet they made uo bead way, but every succeeding year found them "Jahr," raid the yeoman, one evening, thoughtfully to his wife, after having Llessed his homely meal of skimmed milk and brown bread, "couldat thee not have given ue a little treat to-night ? Ilast thee forgettat that it is our Auuiu's birth day ?" "No, Richard, I have not forgotten : bow could I forget the anniversary of the day that made us all so happy f But times aro had ; I could not spare the money to buy sugar and plums for the cake ; and I want ed to sell all the butter, in order to scrape together enough to pay the shoemaker for making our darling's shoes. Annie knows that ahe is infinitely dear to us all, though we cannot give, her luiuries to prove it." "It wawa no proof, dear mother," said the young girl, flinging her round, but sun-burnt snot about her parent's neck.— '-Your precious love is worth the wealth of the whole world to me. I know how fond you and dear father are °flue, and I am mos thatrsatistled." "Annie br right," said Steele, drOpping Lisle& and holiliOg out his arm for a ca ress. "The world euuld not pu,rehase such lore as wo feel for her ; and let us bless Go that, poor though we be, wo are all here to•eight, well and strong, aye, and rich, in spite of , our homely fare, breach other's affections.

The dear homestead, with its quiet rural orchard, and trim hedgerows. fell to the hammer ; nor was the sunburt cheek of the holiest yeoman unmoistened with a tear, when he, saw it added to the enormous possessions' of the lord of the manor. After the sale• was completed, and the 'money it brought duly paid, Steel lost uo time in preparing for his emigration. In less than a fortnight he had secured their passage to New York, and they were al ready on their voyage across the Atlantic. Favored by wind and weather, after the first effects of the sea had worn off, they were comfortable enough. The steerage passengers were poor, but respectable , En glish emigrants, and they made several pleasant acquaintauces among them. One family especially attracted their attention, and so far engaged their affections during the tedious_voyage, that they entered into an agrement to settle in the same neigh, borhood. Mr. Atkins was n widower, with two sons. of the ages of Richard and Owens, and an elder sister—a primitive, gentle old woman, who had been once both wife and mother.. but had outlived all her family. Abigail Winchester (for so she was called,) took an especial fancy to our Annie, in whom she fanciathatehe re cognised a strong. resemblance to * daugh ter whom she had lost. Her affection was warmly returned by the kind gill, Who, by a thousaud little attentions, strove to e vince hergratitude to Abigail for her good opinion. They had not completed half their voyage before the scarlet fever broke out among the passengers, and made dread ful havoc among the younger portioc.--- Steele's obeli, rangy were down wlth- it at the same time, and, in spits of the con stant nursing of himself, and his devoted partner, and the unremitting ettentitras of Abigail Winchester, who never left the sick ward for many nights and days, the two youngest boys died, and wore commit ted to the waters of the great deep before Annie and Richard recovered to conscious ness of their dreadful loss. This threw a sad gloom over the whole party. Steels said nothing, but he often retired to some corner of the ship to bewail his loss in se cret. Ills wife was • wasted and worn to a shadow, Ind poor Annie looked the ghost of her former self. "lied we never left England," she the'', "my brothers had not died." kit she was wrong. God, who watehes with parental love.over all his creatures, knows teib best season in which to reclaim his own; but human love in its vain yearnings is slow in receiving this great truth. It lives in the present, lingers over the put, an 4 can not hear to give up that which now is for the promise of that which shall be. The future separated from the things of time has always an awful aspect. A perfect and child-like reliance upon God can alone divest it otthoso thrilling doubts and feari which at times shake the firmest mind, and urge the proud, unyielding spirit of man to cleave ao strongly to kindred dust. The sight of the Amerietin'ehoris, that, the poor lads had desired so eegerlY to see, seemed to , renew their pief,and a sadder party, never set foot upon &foreign strand than , our emigrant and his family. 86eloi bad brought letters of introduo tion to a respectable merchant in the city, who udlised to purchase 'a tract of land in the than now state , The, beauty of the country, the line climate mid fruitful soil, were urged upon him in the strongest.

We 'will pans over their journey to the far West. The novelty of the scenes thro' which they passed, contributed not n little to raise their drooping spirits. Richard had recovered his health, and amused the party not &little by his lively anticipations of the future. They were to have the most comfortable log-house, and the neatest farin in the district. He would raise the finest cattle, the largest crops, and the best gar den stuff in the neighborhood. Frugal and industrious habits would soon render them wealthy and independent. His mother listened to these sallies with a delighted smile ; and even thO grave yeo man's brow relaxed from its habitual frown. Annie entered warmly into her brother's plans; and if ho laid• the founds GETTYSBUiti, tion of hie fne castle !n i t& air; she ly provided the emnent end el the hghter materials. As their long route led' theni &eller *Om the habitations of men, and deeper and deeper into the wilderness, the reality of their solitary locality Veettine hbarly more 'apparent the 'pea 'entigrants.— They began to think' 'they had acted toe precipitately in going so far back into 'the weeds, unaequainted as thhy were with the usages of the country. Alta 4pentitied came too late; and when, at length, they reached their destination; they found tilde selves upon the edge of& vast forest., with a noble open prairie stretching away as far as the eye can reach iu front of them, and no human habitation in sight, or indeed existing for miles around them. In a moment the yeoman comprehended all the difficulties and dangers of his new situation ; pnt.bu was aitout , heatt, - rust easily daunted by circumstances. He possessed a vigorous corittittltion and a strong arm ; and he was not alone. Rich ard was an active; energetic lad, and his friend Atkins, and his two eons, were a host in themselves. Having settled with his guides, and ascertained, by the maps that he received at Mr. —'s office, the extent and situation of his , new estate, ho set about unyoking the cattle which ho had purchased, and securing them, while Atkins and his sons pitched a tent for the night and collected wood for , their fire.— The young people were in rapture, with, the ocean of verdure, redeleut with blos soms, that lay smiling in the last rays of the sun before them. Never did garden appear so lovely as that vast wilderness of sweets, planted by the munificent hand of Nature with such profuse magnificence.— Annie could scarcely tear herself away from the enchanting scene to assist her mother in preparing their evening meal. "Mother, where shall we ,get water ?" asked Annie, glancing wistfully teiverd their empty cask. "I have seen no indi cationtt of water for the last, three miles." "Annie has raised a startling doubt;" said Steel, "I can perceive no appearance of stream or creek, in any direction." "Mist! father, do you hear that ?" cried Richard. "The croaking of those froge is mesh, to r a 5,;,.,„ thirst ;" and seizing the can, he ran off in the direction of the discordant sounds. It was near dark when he rotiirited with his pailful of water; with which the'whole party slaked their thirst before asking any questions. "What delicious water=—n3 ctetif At otpi tal—as cold as ice ! How fortunately it is to obtain it so near at hand !" exClaimed several in a breath. "Ay, but it is in an ugly place," said Richard thoughtfully. "I should not like to go to that well at 'early day or at night fall." "Why not, my boy ?" "It is in the heart of a dark swamp, just about a hundred yards within the for ; and the Water trickles koneath the roots of an old tree had a' natural stone tank ; but all around it infolved itilrightL ful gloom ; I fineied I hoard a low growl as I stooped to runty pail;•whil'e, i, hortid speckled snake glided: from 'between my feet, and darted, biasing sad rattling its tail, into the brake.

The yeoman laughed, at his pou'e fears and shortly after thi, party eutered into the tent. and overcome witljatigue, were soon asleep.. :The first thing that engaged the atten tion of the emigrants, was the erection Of a log shanty, for the reception of their re-, spective , This important task , was soon aceompliehed.
