One lovely morning injjrie. two travelers, both well mounted, u.'tT their reins upon isilrti, where now s th Vanka of the Mi- tands the flourishing towacfllcd King. As their vision too m the wide Taoe of water, prairie and bluH that lay reread oat before thein, a look of Ktisfaetica seined to light up the features cf ch, for surely their gaze never rested upon leveller spot After a few moments si lfc?e, tLe eldvr of the two dismounted from in s'.-xi, and motioned to his companion to the tame. 'Xay, Barton, I pirfcr the landscape as ifeo from this posivion,' answered his ccm picica. 'I t-hall keep my s? dale until ycu te ready to remount.' 'We shall go no farther !' Barton replied. If we are to pitch our touts in the wilderness W'aer cjice, let it be here, for we may not Sad a greener spot, or one that we should i'ke letter. Se- this grovo of pines ! a little Uer will transform it into a rustic palace, wbere Barton and Harry Newscn may find &e rest they are in pursuit of. 'So le it, then,' Harry answered, S3 he tire himself from his horse, and unslung tbe riflo from Lis back. 'When we started I a?rccd to abide by vour selection, and I sUU not onp;tinn it now. This is indeed a iovely place ! Surely no white man has ever fefore set Lis foot upon this solitude, never pressed the rich soil beneath us Let us be first to awake the slumbering echoes. Ere his brother could stop him, Harry bad fii'l Lis rifle to his shoulder, and pulled the "tirger. From crag to crag, from valley to '.ley the sound of the report new, disturbing 'ae Et illness that had been hitherto been al most felt, and driving many a feathered resi dent screaming into the air. 'You will learn better in time, Harry,' i:tou said. 'Never again waste a shot, even 4flrawhim. You may need all your ammu nition ere long. We are now in the territory of th Dacotahs, and must keep a careful iteh against surprise.' 'You surely aro not alarmed at our absence fom the settlements, or fearful of the In dians v 'o! I only wish to meet , them in the wal light cf day, face to face. We shall ton make friends cf them if they approach IK thus: hut they may not stop to form friend -'aifs if they come upon us unaware ' I have felt vmir r.nurpra r,f nnrsunsinri and J 'M fj r, frr, vnrii tr-.fl nrrtAi nrnn Trie. darrrtt n I i . . your winning qualities.

'Suppose I make a fire, and roast this piece ofveuison. We shall bo huDgry when our task is done.' 'Always provide for the appetite ! "Well, be it so. Be cereful, however, that you do not let your lire get fimong the dry branches, else we shall have a general coailagratioa." We will postpone such a pyrotechnic dis play until the fourth of the comiug month." In conversation liko to this passed two or three hours, during which tho brothers worked industriously, and found that they had,, v.hea the venison was ready for them, provided a very comfortable cabin. I will just dip my cup in the stream there,' said Harry, 'and try the properties of this water. Hold on ! put up your knife until I return. We must start fair ! I object to your cutting off the finest piece in advance.' Nay. you need not indulge in any alarm ; you shall have tb.3 first cut ; hurry then, for I am famishing.' Harry sprang down the bank, and bent over the swift current. As he was in the act cf dipping np tho water, an arrow front an unseen bow pierced his arm, und pinned it to Lio ride. A sudden faintuess seemed to seize upon Iiim, yet with his other hand he scooped respectable housa for the present. i up the l'niuid, and commenced the ascent. But ere he could reach tho ton of the bluff, a j he sank exhausted upon the sward. Had not d the largo trunk of a tree intervened, he wo d undoubtedly have rolled down the inountaiu again. This cursed arrow must be poisoned,' he thought, 'for I can feel its influence stealing through my system, numbing and paralyzing my every faculty. If I could but make Bar ton hear! WLat, ho! brother! Barton!' oo rapid had been the action of the irrita ting agent wherewith the weapon had been charged, that his voice seemed to have be come affected, and he could do little more than whimper. Meanwhile Barton had become somowhat annoyed at his brother's absence. He had half a mind to commence an attack upon t'jo venison, which was fast growing cold, tut he bethought him that he had bet t2r look down upo i the river to see what detained the your.gstcr. lie stood upon the edgj of the LluiT, Lut as far as Le cold see there were lo bigna of the missing brother. Bart-ri now rcw anxious ; ho could form no catifi-.-t jry reaa for this disappearance. There could bo but one solution of tho mys tery the Dectahs njubt have been watching them, and succeeded in capturing Harry. This c .nciusi ;n trrivtd t, Le turned to look far up the river, where arose up u the still air a tail column of smoke, that told hiui that l e was near some Indian rncaajptucnt. VTe?, it inuht Le so V he muttered' as an iy of fctrlic. ttole acros his soul. '31 y pOCi Lis brother Las been made, thus early in frontier cs iCricQoe, a prisoner by those curjcd savages But shall be rescued, or if i-uO late for that, avenged Without further delay, ho unhitched his horse from the limb to which it had been fas tened while quietly grazing, replaced his t-addle esa'iiiuod the priming of his rifle, and vaulted upon Lis aniwial. 'Now, Batbary,' he almost shouted, 'you must bear your part nobly in this enterprise. We must bring back my brother, cr return not at fcli.' An the sound of the Geet footsteps died in the distance, and an unbroken silence brooded once more over the spot, there shot from the opposite bank a light canoe propelled by the practised hands of a young and beautiful for est maiden. Wkh the rapidity of lightning it ped across tho waters and touched at the very Fpot where Harry had received his wound. As it grazed tho beach, the girl sprang lightly from it, and ran swiftly up the bank to the place where tho young man ! had fallen. She arrived just ia time to seo him etrctch himself out with an agony ot pain, throw Lis arms wildly above bis bead, and sink almost insensible back again. She bent over him, aud in a sweet whisper, said : 'Come with me ! the warrior's arrow has wounded the white bird who flew to our for ests for a home ; tut Ahtawahta will save the life of the pale faci. Quick, to my canoe, or the chieftains of my tribe will discover us. I saw vou from vonder crove. watched the movements of tho Dacotahs. and am here to save you. Ahtawahta is not very strong, but she can at least guide you to her hut among the bushes there. You will die if you do not come.' With such gontle words the maiden strove to rouse him for the effort, and finally suc ceeded, lie had sense enough remaining to know that if he did not accompany her his hours of life were numbered. He had heard ci the medicinal knowledge that the Indians possessed, and he doubted not that she could ?id him. 'My brother?' ho said faintly. Will return to this spot and await your coming ; he has gone to seek you. He will never leave until ho meets you again. When the sickness has passed. Ahtawahta will bring you here Come, ere the wauiors of my race shall discover you !' By a Eeries of painful efforts, Harry at last reached the canoe, into which he was assisted by his fair guide. 'Now. you must trust yourself to Ahta wahta. who by the help of the great spirit, will draw this arrow from your arm, and heal the wound. She would thus atone for the crueltv of him who drew the bow.' As Harry feh himself lifted from the frail barque, he cast a grateful look upon his pre- server, ana oocaiuo unconscious CHAPTER II. Four months had passed ere Harry was a"in able to leave tho iaat3 whereon he had reDosed. in an uiter prostration. The fever had at last left hin2. but he was very weak A lit ni lira had clunff to him with a singular devotion, and had been true to her promise. Aided by a couple of aged squaws, she had brought him from the very gates of death far ou to health. We fiud her now, after a lapse of so many weeks, still by Lis side, either administering pome restorative or sit ting at his feet, listening to the strange sto ries of the white man's home. 'You will soon leave the wilderness,' sighed the maiden, 'and I shall see you no more. Four moons have passed since I saw you ; they have been happy days to mo, but we must part. Look from this door upon the scene without. Already the leaves are with ering and dying in the cool autumn blasts. Ere long the storm-king will ride upon the wind, and wrap the earth in its cold embrace. You will go to meet the warm hearts tbit watch you, while Ahtawatah will grow cold as the snow. The winter will blight her very Leart.' Harry turned from the contemplation of the landscape to the bright eyes of the fair child cf nature beside him. He read in their dark meaning, words that sent the warm flush to his cheek. His arm rested upon her shoul der and almost eucircled her uc-ck, joining Lis bauds he pressed her to his bosom. 'Ahtawihta,' he whispered, 'I love you, and must never leave this spot. Be mine, and here let me live and die !' With a glad smilo the maiden raised her moist lips to his ; but ere he could press them shadow stole across her face, her head drooped again, as she murmured sadly, 'No, no ! it must not be ! This has been a pleasing dream to tho forest maid, but it cannot be realized. In a few moons Harry would tire of his Indian bride, and would long for the associations he had abandoned. Better leave me now than then.' 'Ahtawahta believes that there is truth in the heart ?' 'Yes ; but affection may grow cold ' 'Listen to me, dearest. My life was pre serve! by you, and to you it should be devo ted. Bo not suppose that I wish merely to repay the debt that I can never do : but over and above all other considerations is the love that can be answered by possession . I could not breathe a word of harm to you ! I have left no one in the far off home of my childhood for whose society I can languish Fear not, then, my truth, for by the light of that great can I swear ' No ! not for me ! The great Manltou will not hear an oath. I am yours forever! If in some future hourjour heart should wan der Lack to the friends of earlier etays, I will bid you depart and lay me dowa to die. At least you will be mine until then ' She did not longer hesitate, but with an impassioned jgesture, clung about his neck, while Harry imprinted Tnaunierable kisse.ioa her vieldirjr lins. A. they stood thus, the sound of horses' hoofs falling rapidly upon the soft turf, roused them from their abstraction at the same mo rn: nt one of the two squaws that had been in attendance upon the youthful pair, rushed ia andjpoke a few hurried words to Ahtawahta, aud left the hut again. 'Wahpota tells mo that our warriors are in pursuit ot a white man, who is urgi horse towards the crossing here. Let his us go forth, for we may save Lim.' 'It may be my brother . exclaimed Harry with a glad smile, as they passed baud iu hand out iuto tho forest oou the pursuers and pursued appeared in tho distance. Harry at once recognized in tho white man his brother. 'It is ho ! it is Barton ! Heavens ! he will be killed I' 'Not so ; he is my brother now !' answered the maiden proudly, 'and not one of our tribe shall dare to molest him.' As the horseman drew near, Harry cried : Stop, brother! Barton, do you not know aie "r It is your brother Harry that calls.' Although the rider heard the voice and re cognized it, he could not check his steed until he had fairly reached tho edge of the river. Ahtawahta placed herself directly in the way of the pursuers, and with amotion bade them pause. A short parley ensued, at the end of which the Dacotahs turned their horses' head and rode back from whence they had come. Barton soon made known to his brother the various events that he had passed through as he followed for months the trails of different tribes of Indians in search ef the lost one.un til h"i3 hopes died out, and he turned to re trace his steps ; how Le had been met by those who were following him, and had to run for his life. Harry Newson and his Indian bride lived to "see a nourishing town grow up upon the spot wh!re they first met, for he never left her in life. J8a?Down east there resides a certain M. D. One very cold niht, he was aroused from his slumbers by a very loud knocking at the door. After some hesitation he went ta the window, and asked. "Who's there ?" "A friend." "What do you want ?" "Want to stay here all night." "Stay there, then," was the benevolent reply. Fool Proverls. Get drunk yourself and say your neighbor staggers. Stand oo your head and say the world is upside down.

A British officer who was at the Battle of New Orleans; relate? an incident of thrilling strangness. and very descriptive of the West ern hunter,, many of whom marched to the defense of New Orleans as volunteers in the army under General Jackson. We marched, said the oiacer, in a solid colum of twelve thousand men, in a direct line upon the American defenses. I belonged to the staff, and as we advanced watched through our glasses the pesitioa and arrange ments cf o-ir, jenemy with" that intensity an officer only feels when marching into the jaws of death, with the assurance tbat while he thus offers himself a sacrifice to the de mands of. his country, every actiou, be it sucessful or otherwise, will be judged with heartless scrutiny. It was a strauge sight, that great ranse of cotton bales a new material for breastwork. with tne crowu ot imman . 1 t j beings behind. their heads only visalle above the line of defense. We could distinctly ste their long rifles lying over the bales, and the battery of Gen. Coffee directly iu front, with its great mouth gaping towards us, and the po?i:i:.n of Gen. Jacksou, with his staff around him But what attracted our attention most wt.3 a figure, of a tall man standing on the breast work . dressed in linsey woolscy, with buck skin legging, and a broad rim felt hat that fell round his face, almost concealing hi features He was standing iu one of those picturesque and graceful attitudes peeular to those naturatTnen-dwellers of tlie forest. The body rested on the left leg, and swayed with a curved line upwards, the right arm was extended, the hand grasping the rifle near the muzzl, the butt of which rested near the toe of his right foot, while with his hand he raised the rim of his hat from his eyes, and seemed gazing from beneath upon our ad vancing column. The cannon of Gen. Coffee had opened upon us, and tore through our ranks with dreadful slaughter, but as we continued to advance, unwavering and cool, as if nothing threatened our progress. The roar of tho cannon seemed to Lave no effect upon the figure standing on the cotton bales, but he seemed fixed and motionless as a statue As last h moved lie threw back j the hat rim over the crown with the tei't hand; raised the rifle to his should.r, aud Our eyes were rivit- took aim at our group ed on him At whom had he leveled his piece But the distance was so great that we looked at. each other ami smiled. . e saw the rifle flash, and my right hand com panion, as fine a fellow as eve-r rode at the head of his regiment, fedl from his saddle. The hunter paused a few moments, without moving his rifle from his shoulder, then re loaded and resumed his former attitude Throwing the hat rim over his eyes and again hcld'ng it up wi'h the left hand, he lixed his piercing eyes upon us as if hunting out unjth cr victim, uiice more me nat run was inrovvu back, and the gun raised to his shoulder. This time we did not smile, but cast short glances at each other, to sea whieh of us must die, and when tho ri'de again fla-hed, anothdr of us dropped to the ground- There was something awful iu marching on to certain, death. General Coffee's battery and thousands of musket bulls played upon our ranks. We cared not for them, there was a chanee of es caping uncathed. Most of us had walkel upon batteries a hundred times more destruc tive 'without quailing, but to know that every time that rifle was leveled toward us, aud it i bullet sprange from the barrel one cf us must as surely fall! To see the gleaming gun flash ' as the iron came down, and see it rest motion j , . - i. ii ... i less, as if poiscu upou a nco, auu numi, when the hammer struck and the sparks Cew to the full-primed pnn, that the messenger of death drove unerringly to its goal to know this, and still march on, was awful. I could see nothing but the tall figure standing on the breastwork He seemed to grow phantom like, taller and taller, asura i'n. through tb.3 smoke, the supernatural anrcaraucc of some giaut spirit Again did I he reload and discharge his ri3e with the p -i- - i :. :,: :v.t.' same uuraiiicg aim aim u. uu mu ouiuau. pleasure that I beheld, as we ncired the American lines, the sulphurous smoke gather around U3 and shut that spectral hunter from my gaze. "We lost the battle, and to my eniud the Kentucky riflemen contributed more to our defeat than anything else, for while he remahicd in our sight our attcntiou was drawn from our duties, and when at last we became "enshrouded iu the smoke, j the work was complete we were in uuer confusion, and unable, in the extremity, to restore order sufficient to make any successful attack.

Mr. Sparks iu his "Life of General Wash ington, Las remarked, that the circumstances of one of the more immediate ancetirs of WasLingtou having been a resident of South Cave, "gave rise1 to an erroneous tradition among his deseendints that their ancestors came from tlie north of Kucland." Hhv the loaruod aud ir.dutrious Listouan makes it out that the tradition i3 erroneous. I aci una ble to say, for I think it is more than proba ble that the Washiugtons of South Cave were originally from the north of England. Un der this supposition. I feel disposed to sub mit to the attention of your intelligent rea ders a few remarks, whiih may throw some lighton the matter and resolve my doabts. Mr. Sparks admits, that John, brother of Lawrence Washington, dwelt nt South Cave, a village ou the banks of the River Ilumber, and nearly opposite to the mouth of the Trent a river usually regarded as the bouudry of the south of KngKnd aud that ho emigrated to America about 1G57 tnd settled in Virgin ia from whom, in a direct line, came the i American patriot. To what limits the Listo- an mav confine the north of Enzlaud, I know j j not, but according to tho scattered movn'-.rrin- ! j da in my possession, that portion of tho Br:f- j ish bimpire usnal'v cillc-d "North, had tne i honor of giving birth to that illustrious branch of the Washington family. Some time before the year 1400, iho chief ancestor of Durham, and according to Sar tee's history, was then called llcrtchurne, which cognomen, it is probable, according to the custom of t hot age, was dropped for that of William de Washington, by which . came, it was ever afterwards known. The William Washington, left an only daughter, Elenor, who gave her hand and fortune t'j Sir William Tempest of Studlcy Royal, in the east Billing of the county of York. From tho Tempets, the Washington estate went by marriage to the Mallorys of Mobbcrly; from the Mallorys to the AisUllcs and is cow enjoyed by Miss Lawrence, and constitutes an estate, which fr beauty ofem bel'i(:mrnt, grandeur of locality, and sylvan i and pictur"Bejue loveliness, is ,.,tnrMcci..l in I ! the British Empire ! This Lienor, aecnriing to an inqu:?:tion pot moitnm, died the "IX day of JauUry, i 1451. The lutnuue of the descent is here j enable the biographer to arrive at conclusive i results.

On one occasion upwarda of a hundred thousand dollars ij bank bills bad to be car ricd to Kentucky, and he was selected ta carry, them.

But he took the wrong road, and having los; himself. wa9 glad to fiud shelter anywhere. He rode about a bng time in the forest, a mid the darkness and chillness of a starless October night.
