'Ill ritiiMtsofa tnotbcVe fondneta. and a father'

The evil of bonaekeeping in tho vvooda now
cams upon m, 'jne of the rervont I brouqbt with
me died of a btlioti fever, and the other vowed r-he
would not etar among beant and aarage. She
married a pedlar who tame along one day and Icfti
IM with no help except the Indian, who eateemed
9Vy thing they did m a great favor. Wu both
of oa vvorkud harder than we ever did iu our Uvea
before. HtiU we were happy, but it ie wondcrlul lo
ee how romance will tly before the every day pet-
j trouble of hie. And then In relation torineii

over lounging about the houe, begging fin icatcr
and tobacco, or teazing Greenville to head thoirex
peditiun (iint other tribe or tho white men, and
when he refuted, the.r furtoiit look frightened me
to death. We alto felt the want of aocicty, of tho
literature of the day, of the bustle mid utir of tho
Atlantic Stale. Whoti my child n born, oh,
how bitterly did I repent leaving the comfort, the
necceearie of home. In fact, uflcr aoino tiir.o, wo
como to the coiicli.fion wc had tnadu rv great, mis

In the inidal of nil thia Serena was immoveable.
Nothing milled the cronily ,f her eoul. 'i'o w ork,
totlnrve, wan of no importance to her, could tho
contribute to tho happiness of llioeo around her.
She went about ntnonj; tho Indiana, and the Hiiuol

and were hovering over tho lire congratula

had bnen deluging the country with rain lor seve
ral daya pt, when an Indian opened the door nnd
a..kjl for the 'good lady,' as Soienn wsa dcsignateil
among them. She stepped forward, and he told
her a long unintelligible tale of mUcrj nnd death
in the log cabin below u. 1 luid my baud on Se
rena' nnn imploringly, but the word of remons
trance died on n.y tip as Bhe turned to mo, and
raid in her own aw'eet but decided manner 'sister,
it is my duty ; and my happiness to go.'
I helped her to put on hor Indian moccaesinn,
cloak nnd wrapper, and filled a basket of provis
ions and medicine, which fhe handed tho limn nnd
departed. I looked after her and sighed a I bo
held her ploughing through novv and mud and w it.d,
following a rude Indian through a wildernes.
She, t ho delicate, the lovely formed to be cher

tender hand of love. Hut abe ta happy, and after
all, what are oxternal circuintance. II the heart
be right all olae is of minor importance. The log
but to w hich be wa going, had been tenanted for
aumo months lack by a very singular family.
They avoided all inicreouiae with thoe nroond

lady unutcd to liA a finger to help herself. The
children had evidently been brougtit up w tcoaer-

a deolste and unfitting situation was a mystery,

i Two dear little children were huddled together in a
