Savage wildernesses, too, terrible as Dante's solitude, are there, which, abounding in legendary interest, are renowned in Kentuckian isitary, and form not the least at• tractive attribute of these strange, romantic re gions. - There it was that the Indians, driven from their original territories or hunting grounds, took up a position to wage a relentless war with their aggressors, whose strength war tested by many a fierce emsounter with the swarthy Shawnees. Still to then memorable traces does many a "spurting party" resort, where the remains of rough built tents tell of the invincible hunter warriors who once held them as their own.— Dauntless heroes of a different race existed, how ever, ready to dispute the possession of every inch of Kentucky land with the tawny settlers. Her red and Boone were distinguished among them, but even they were surpassed in bravery by the men whose matchless skill in contest, whose rut b less ferocity and indomitable daring were so re. marksble, as to ho regarded by the savages as the result of some fearful supernatural agency. The superstition acted naturally to their det ritziest, and increased the power of Will Smith, the Forest Chieftain, who, victor in repeated contests, they looked upon as the evil genius of their race—an instrument of vengeance sent by the Great Spirit. Their timidity in facing so terrible an enemy was the cause of an irresolu. ties in their ;necks which usually brought de feat, and fasilitated, of course, the ifieass of n eaps for the eouquerer. Sometimes unexpected ly on the rear of his enemy, at others ahead of them, or incomprehensibly in the very midst of the ay, it seemed indeed as though the, warrior bad a " charmed life." True it was that a spell hung on the existence of this extraordinary wag, who lived under the shadow of a great and inex tinguishable seesaw. The bitter remembrance of this it was, which, initial' a (winless desire of of revenge, was the secret of his relentless and sanguinary career. The lit of misery as a plague isnot separated his fellow men. Stern and isolated he lived, forever hunting the war path or the hunting trail of the Indians, from which their Gravest !enters disappeared. Yew among the Herder people approached or venture to address the dreaded chieftain.

The son of obscure emigrants from the Old World, his first unhappiness was to be left an orphan at an early age. The next be appren ticed to a farmer in North, Carolina, a miserable miser, who not only subjected the poor boy to deprivation and the most arduous toils, but proved a traitor to the conditions of the inden tures by which he was bound. These included the privilege of receiving a general school educa tion, instead of which young Smith was not taught its merest rudiments. Will, owing in great Ora to his capacity awl inclination for study, combined, doubtless, with the combative impulse often accompanying it, resolved neverthe less to become s scholar. Happily, to aid his good intention, he found an instructress, whose amiability and skill rendered the task of learning rather a pleasure than a toil. This was Mattio Saunders, the farmer's daugh ter: Often Will's eyes would uneonsuiously wander from the page to her earnest blue eyes, and then would come such sweet gentle tones of remonstrance, that he really could scarcely be sorry for the offence In this studious compan ionship, as time went on, more than letters were learnt, though little did Mattis or Will imagine how important an influence would be exercised on their destinies by the hours which glided so swiftly and carelessly-by. They loved uncon sciously, and the sweet secret of their breast, first made known to them by the father of Hattie, who perceived the condition of affairs, was re vealed to their mutual misery. From the time of its discovery, direct tyranny, out to say atro city, was prictised by Saunders towards the poor boy. Deprived of the very necessities of existence, be was driven in the midst of winter to sleep with but a single threadbare covering, on some hay, in a but,: Such was the endurance to which he bravely submitted foe his dear cotupan ion's sake his sole consolation was the sywa. pathiee expressed by Mettle during his stolen interviews with her. She, no longer permitted to see poor Will, had her gentle heart lacerated by the knowledge of the persecution he suffered, without ability of alleviating the misery, of which she knew herself to be the innocent cause Meek spirited and tender, she was but little fitted to opposo the uuremitting severity of her father, who, having amaseed for her a considerable for tune, imagined be did sufficient for her happiness Ltv &eel 41 / Inn/err a* - woman aline , irar watched, for the idea of a moneylese suitor was distracting to him.

The good old man could not refrain Lis wars, as he exclaimed: " Never while I blue a crust must this be." Removed to the Judge's dwelling, for days the poor orphan vacillated between life and death, unable to ex plain his unhappy situation or express his grati tude to his deliverer From the time that Will Smith was received in the Judge's family, lie was treated as one of its members Through a strange coincidence, the very first case met with by the Judge, on setting out for the Circuit, was that of the "Come monwealth Samuel Saunders, for unlawfully making away with the indentured child known as Will Smith." Campbell, delighted with the idea of retribution on the persecutors if his pro fry', whom he love(' as a son , gave it his imme diate attention, and compelled minute investiga tion of every particular of the affair. The trial was a singular and terrible scene. Campbell, severe and implacable, at like another Brutus, resolved for the sentence Mattie, too, the tim id -Nettie, was present, pale, heart sick, and agobieed by conflicting feelings. The novelty of her situation, and its publicity, were sufficient aloe° to overwhelm her gentle nature, in addi tion to which she had the misery to witness her parent's disgrace, and was distracted with the conviction that Will, her sole hope and only friend, was lost to her forever. Saunders, trembling and e•uscious, awaited the verdict, which came as a demb•knell on his ears, as in a solemn tone of demnciatinn " guilty" 'lauded through the unbroken hush of the court. At that instant the sound of carriage wheels told an arrival, and sent a msrmuring agitation through the crowd. The excitement was told by the eager curiosity of the people's gaze, to learn the cause Even Mettle was roused from the stupor of despair into which she had sunk. A strange vague hope awake in her breast, and scarcely could she conceive tie marvelous reality, as she beheld enter one whom she could not mis take, but so pale, attenuated, as to seem indeed a spectre than a living being. But it was the lost one, her well remembered companion, whose sudden appearance created a sensation impossible to describe Nis persecutor, horrified aethe sight of what he conceivkd to be an apparition, iwoon• ed and was taken from court The result was, that the conditions of the indenture, were declared ny the jury to be or feited, and—the sorest sting t)f all to the miser, he was compelled to aid in the support of the boy, until he attained his majority. A new light thus broke on the horizon, hitherto so dark and troubled, fur Will Smith. Diligent 'in im proving the advantages afforded him, before long he enjoyed the honorable position of a succesful young barrister, !fad the old Judge, on his retire ment, had the satisfaction of seeing its own ca reer renewed in that of his adopted eon, as he listened often in an ecstasy of admiratim to hie brilliant, vigorous oratory. But theaslight ing triumph of all to Will was, that now claim his blue-eyed love, Mattis, as his OWII..".• In defiance of oppe•ition, le took her for his Wide. Years of unalloyed happiaese were the reward of his trials and his toils. Care, sorrow, eeder ‘nce, were furgetkn r even ambition slumbered, while. he basked ip his new foetid joy. But changes awaited him. The noble contest for freedom and indepeuticnoe arose, and then all that was elevated and unselfish in his manse awoke. *silk, ease, were relinquished with the readytiouseat of .Hattie, )oyfal if her beloved reassieed at Der aide. WWI services iw his eonntry's cause were unremitting and effectual. His sincerity wu proved by the sanitise of his entire fortune; for the conclusion of peace saw him a beggar, the result. of his hard earned possessions Sown. Energy and enterprise be kaew most open a fresh path of progress for him. The glorious lands beyond the Alleghenir der , ed the best resouree; and thither he resolved, if Nettie would accompany him, to repair. He met with no remonstrance from his sweet wife. Her whitening cheek told the one pang of con sent. The journey was long and arduous, but the travelers found compensation in the stimulus of novelty, as well as in the charms of the lovely scenes presented by the new found lands, already bearing a semblance of civilisation from the numerous forts and settlements which appeared. Will, having arrived on the borders of the Liek ing river, deposited there his family, with a pow erful guard in camp as their defence, while be, careful to secure further supplies, pressed on to meet hie friend Boone at a given spot. Six days only he was absent., six eventful, memorable days. Doubly long seemed the sepaiation to Will's loving heart, for it was the first since his marriage. He hurriedly sought the spot where all that was precious on earth to him remained; consecrated as home by one blessed presence Ho perceived with astonishment the camp brok en up, and the few remaining emigrants retreat ing Hastening after them, be sternly demanded his wife and children of these whom he had constituted their guardian.. " Yon will find them where you left them; ask the Shawnees; they can tell you the rest," was the reply " Traitors," exclaimed Smith, " you have neglected your trust; they are murdered!" Then with a sudden Spring at the throat of the hunter who bad spoken, he burled him to the ground, and without turning to see the result, the wretched man turned to the camp He was found there stretched on the fie* beside the life less remaids of his Mattie and his children, whom he alternmecly embraced. lie then rose, and silently and with at awful solemnity proceeded to work for hours, until a grave was formed, large and deep, in which he placed ski* tr, side his treasures.

A simple sarcophagus, such as Is CoIIIMOU in Ken tucky, marks the resting place of the '' silent hunter," whose Ningular and tr clancholy history has more than once lent its romantic interest to fiction Destiny—The Emperor of the French. At the present moment when the .birth of an heir to the French Empire, and the rejoicings in peace are en fully before the public, the follow ing extract from Alliaon'A ' Ili-tory of England' wtll be found singularly interesting: The idea of a destiny and his having a mission to perform was throughout a fixed one in Louis Napoleon's mind. No disaster shook his con& deece in his star or his belief in the ultimate fulfillment of his destiny This is well known to all those who were intimate with him in this country after he returned from America in 1837. Among other noble houses, the hospitality of which he shared, was that of the Duke of Mon trose, at Buchanan, near Lochlornond, and the Duke of Hamilton at' Brodick Castle, in the Island of Arran. His manner in both was grave and taciturn; he was wrapt in the contemplation of the future, and indifferent to the present. In 1839, the present Earl of W—, then Lord B—, came to visit the author, after having been some days Louis Napoleon, at Buchanan Houee. One of the first things be said was 'Only think of that young man Louis Napoleon. Nothing can persuade him he is not to be Em peror of France. The Strasbourg affair has not in the least shaken him; he is thinking continually of what be is to do when on the throne.' The Duke of N—, also said to the author in 1884, 'several years ago, before the Hi:Volu tion of 1848, I met Louis Napoleon often at Brodick Castle, in Arran. We frequently went out to shoot together; neither cared much for the sport, and we soon sat down on a heathery brow of Goatfell, and began to speak seriously. He always opened these oonferences by duteous ing on what he should do when he was Emperor of France. Among other things he said be would obtain a grant from the Chambers to drain the marshes of Brio, which, you know, once fully cultivated, became flooded, when the inhabitants, who were chiefly Protestants, left the country on the r4ooation of the edict of Nantes; and, what is very carious, I see in the newspapers of the day, That he has got a grant of two millions of francs from the Chambers to begin the draining of these very marshes.' All that belongs to Louis Napoleon is now public property, and these noble persons will forgive the author if ho endeavors to rescue from oblivion, anecdotes so illustrative of the . fixity of pllrpdle which is the most remarkable feature in that very eminent man's character. This idea I of destiny, of a star, or a minion, which are only different words for the same thing, will be found to have been a fixed belief in most men who at tain to ultimate greatness. Whether it is that the disposition of the mind which leads to such a belief win* out its own accomplishment, by the energy nod perseverence which it infuses into the character, and which enables its possess or to rise superior to all the storms of fate, or that Providence darkly reveals to the chosen in s nts of great things—'vessele of honor,' to w t M at themorkint of its purpose in human affairs is entrost uough of the future to se cure its accomplishments, will forever remain a mystery in this world.

This proposition being unanimously acceded to and somewhat enthusiastically by the stout individual, who folio.] himself very dry, not- withstanding he had just been wet, the party mounted the stairs and entered the saloon The proprietor of the premises bustled about with unusual activity, seeing at a glance that the party were unlike his usual run of customers, which to tell the truth was rather a small rot,, his establishment beink nearly run out by a rival saloon not far distant. flaying destroyed four gleaming tumblers of at—woe t— the party adjourned thunder peals with the sound of vitae balls and falling pins which their vigorous arms prostrated as fast as two youthful 11 iberaians could set them up.

" Pory good everything," said the short and stout man, his speech rather thick, perhaps from having talked too much " Yes," said the hungry man, "the drink was good, the bowling was fair, but that apple pie was glorious I was only sorry there wasn't more of it." " Apple pie ? mince yuu mean," acid th apothecary, "mince, and poor stuff at that." " No Pact) thing," said the companion of the hungry man, " 'twas apple pie, and a country made me too '!!
