The Marriage of Pocahontas.
DT BENSON J. LOSSING.
During the lovely Indian summer time,
in th■ autumn of 160 S, there was a mar
riage on the banks of the l'uwhattan,
where the English had laid the corner
stone of the great fsbric of the Anglo
&inn empire in the New World. It was
eelehriiteo in the second - church which
the liniglish settlers had eructed there .=-•
Lake the first, which tire bad destroyed
the previous winter, it was a rude struc
ture, whose roof ruined upon rough pine
volution fresh from the virgin forest, and
whose sidorninga were little indebted to
the head,ofeet. The officiaiiug priest was
"geod,Alaster Hunter," who, had lost all

William C. Simms.
The emperor yielded to the maid, and
the captive was set free.
Two years after that event, Pocahontas
again became au angel of deliverance.--
She hastened to Jatuestowu'during. a dark
and stormy night, informed the English
of a pocapireoy to, exterminate them, and
was buck to her couch before dawn.—
Smith was grateful, and the whole Eng
lish colony regarded her as their deliv
erer. But gratitude is .often a plant of
feeble root, and t h e canker of selfishness
will destroy it altogether. Smith went
to England; the morals of the colonists
became depraved; and Arpin. a rough,
bull piratical navigator, unmindful of her
character, bribed a savage, by the prom.
INC of a copper.kattle, to betray Pocahon.
Ins into Ida hands, in be kept as a hostage
while compelling Powhatan to make resti
tution for injuries inflicted. The Empe
ror loved his dnughtor tenderly, agreed to
the terms of ransom gladly, and prom
ised unbroken friendship to the Eng
lish.
Pocahontas was now free to return to
her forest home. But other bonds, more
holy than those of Argall, detained her.
Whilst iu the custody of the rude buo
career a mutual attachment had budded
cud blossomed between her and John
Rolfe, anti the fruit watt a happy marriage
—"another knot to bind the peace" with,
Powhatan much-stronger.
April, in the Virginia peninsula, where
the English settlers first built a city, is
ono of the loveliest months in the year.—
Then
winter has bid a final adieu to the
middle regions of America; the trees are
robed in gay and fragrant blossoms; the
robin, the blue-bird, and the oriole, are;
-just giving the first opeueniug preludes to
the summer concerts in the woods, and
wild flowers are laughing merrily in ev-1
cry hedge, and upon the green banks of
every stream., ,
It waia day inebarming April, in 1613,
when Rolfe and • Pocahontas e.ood at the
marriage.alter in the new and pretty chap-1
el at Jamestown, where, not long before,
the bride had received Christian baptism,
and was named the Lady Rebecca. The
sun had marched halfway up toward the ;
meridian, when a goodly company had as
sembled beneath the temple roof. The,
pleasant odor of the "pews of cedar" cow-'
mingled with the fragrance of the wild
flowers which decked the testoons of ever
greens and sprays that hung over the "fair,
broad windows," anti the eamunandinent
tablets above,the chancel. Over the pulpit
of black-walnut hung garlands of white
flowers, with the waxen leaves and scarlet
Wales of the holly. The communion-ta.
hie was covered with fair white linen, and
bore bread from the wheat fields of James
town, and wine from its luscious grapes.
The font, "hewed hollow between, like a
canoe," sparkled with water, as on the
morning when the gentle princess uttered
her baptismal vows.
Of all that company assembled in the
broad space between the chancel and the
pews, the bride and groom were the central
figures in fact and significance. Pocahon
tas was dressed in a simple tunic of white
muslin, from the looms of Dacea. Her
arms were bare even to the ahoulders; and
hangiug loosly towards her feet, was a
robe of rich stuff, presented by Sir Thomas
Dale, and fancifully embroidered by her
self and her niaidens. A gaudy fillet en- 1
circled her head, and held the plumage of
bi r d s a nd a veil of ganze, while her limbs
were adored with theitimPle jewelry of the 1
natiQe worksheps; Rolfe was attired in
the gay clothing of an English wither of
that period, and upon hiti thigh •ho wore

of the powerful Duke of NorthuMberland,
whose clouded was alwiya , as noble as his

of the scene, was the elder brother of Po-

was a younger brother ,of tte bride, and .
many youths and maidens from the forest
shades ; but one noble tigure—the pride of
the Powhatan confederacy, the father of
the bride, was absent. He had consented
to the marriage with willing voice, but
would not trust himself within the power •

tars. The music ceased, the benediction
fell, the solemn "Amen" echoed from the
rude vaulted roof, sod the joyous emnpany
lett the chapel for the festal ball of the
Uovernor. Thus ''the peace" was made
stronger, and the ROSE of.Englaud lay
undisturbed upon the HATCHET of the
Powhatans, while the father of Pocahoutas '
lived.
Months glided away. The bride and
groom "lived civilly and lovingly togeth
er," until Sir Thmuas Dtle departed for
England, in 1816, when they, with many
settlers, accompanied him. Tomoeotuo,
one of the shrewdest of Powhatan's couu
cillors, went also, that he might report all
the wonders of En g land to his master.—
The Lady Rebecca received great nutted=
from the court and all below it. "She ac•
custouieu herself to civility, and carried
herself as the daughter of a king." Dr.
King, the Lord Bishop of London, enter
tained her "with festival Kato and pomp,"
beyond what he bad ever given to other In.
dies; and at court she was received with
courtesy due to her rank as a princess.—
But the silly bigot ou the throne was high•
ly incensed, because one of his subjects
had dared to marry a lady of royal blood,
and. in the midst of his dreams of preroga
tives, he absurdly apprehended that, Rolfe
might lay claim "tothe crown of Virginia!"
Afraid of the royal displeasure, Captuiu
Smith, who was thou in England, would
not ulluw her to cull him father, ab oho de
sired to do. She could not comprehend
the cause ; and her teuder, simple heart
wait sorely grieved by what seemed to be
his want of .uthetion.for her. She' remain.
od in England about a year; and, when
ready to embark for America with ber.hus
band, she siekened, and died at Gravesend,
iu the flowery month of June, 1617, when
not quite twenty-two years of age. She
left one son, Thomas Rolfe, who afterwards
became, quite a disriuguished man in Vir
ginia. He had but one child, a daughter.
From her, sumo of the leading families in
Virginia trace their lineage. Among
these sis the Bollitiga, Mtirrays, Guys, El
thiges, and ltaudolphs. But Pocahontas
needed no ponerity toperpetuate her name
--it is imperishable preserved iu the am
ber of history.

Trim APT of HEALTLL—WaIking is the
best possible exercise. Habituate your.
self to walking very far. The Europeans
value' themselves on having subdued the
horse to the use of man, but I doubt wheth
er we have nut lost more than we have
gained by the use of this animal. No one
thing has occasioned so muoh degeneracy
of the human body. An Indian goes on
foot nearly as far in a day. for a long jour
ney, as an enfeebled white does on his
horse, and he will tire the best horses.--
A little walk of half an hour in the m.orn
iug, when you first rise, is adviseable. It
shakes off sleep, and produces other good
effects in the animal economy.
