And never more shall battled pines Their solemn triumph sound for me, Nor morning fringo tho mountain lints, Xor sunset fhuh tho hoary sea; But Night and Winter fill tho sky, And load with frost tho shivering air, Till every gust that hurries by. Chimes wilder with my own despair. The leaden twilight, eold and long, Is slowly settling o'er tho wave; No wandering blast awakes a song In naked boughs above thy grave, The frozen air is still and dark; The numb air lies rn icy rest; And all is dead rnvo this ono spark Of burning grief within my breast. Life's darkened orb shall wheel no more To Love's rejoicing Summer back; My spirit walks a wintry shore, With not a ftar t light Its track.

While this crave ouestlon was undecided. young Kcdfield ono morning took his rille. and went up the Kennebec tu hunt for mooso. A moose is a large species of deer. If my renders never saw one they havo to imagine a round fat horse, cut his tail ofT short and leaio him no tail, put an ass' head on him, with immense horns sometimes weighing ninety pounds give him long deer's legs and hoofs, and you havo a pretty good moose. They weigh as much, and often more than a huric, mid stand up much higher from tho ground. Daniel went up the river, butnight came and ho did not return. This gave no uneasiness. llat nTter ho bad been gone two, thrcoand lour days, the mother s heart began to grow alarmed. Thcro had been 11 great rain, and il alivo and well, why had he not como back ? She caught old Shag and went down to con sult Jlr. Ordway. He at first thought tho young man had been unsuccessful, and had determined to bunt till ho bad got a moose. Susan affected to laugh, nnd said " ho un doubtedly had found mooso enough, but probably had thrown a book at them instead ol shooting ; for her part, sho had no doubt 110 was looKing up me nooks which bo had fast throuch the nlmni.t intiTin m.iiiln Cinnli. that lay in that direction. He had left the parade-ground, nnd was making his way to J.Ti' j 1 wlcn n nnna DccKonca him "ennui uiu ungioui ine wall. no want see you. it no nro you Jt is si dark I cannot sec you." "Mo knOW VOU Ifnnw s-nnr mnll..,. know Shag know brick house, know Susan. now long luro door shut up?" "Perhaps twenty minutes perhaps (if. teen." "Good.

IIUU illU 1, Tlio Indian shuffled off. savine- ulntirl "lunkeo 111 in mad, say whip me, ho catch mo, mo get canoe, and ho no find mo." S ho had the nppearntico of following him in hot resentment. Down the hill bo went faster and fat-tor, till ho reached thoSt. Law rence, where lay n canoe. In it stepped the Indian, barely noititiii! to another. w-M,.l. lay near it, and pushed off. '1 he young man leaped in tho other, and pushed niter him as if in a race. Down tho river they went n littlo way, and landed beyond Point Levy. They leaned ashoro iust as thev be.ird tl... alarm founded from tho height across the river, signifying the ccapo of a prisoner or of a Holdior. Tho Indian paused u moment, nud listened and said, "Wliitomen too much noise too much nar.ule lns.i tr.iil ul.ll . I. drum." Ho led the way among tho bushes ns fast as the young man could follow. How far they went that night, tho prisoner knew not. When morning came, they were by tho sido of a river, just below somo beautiful falls. For more than a mile they had waded in tho river's edge, sons to conceal their foptstcrs. Here, iust under the falls, was nn opening from tho water which led into tllO cave. Thev crawled nn. nnd wen. cum thus thrown nwny !" At tho same the samo ?n platfoim, high and dry, with a suflic timo tho poor girl stopped her sewing, her 'ncy of light. The young man was ex fingers trembled so ! Mr. Ordway procured hausted.and lay down, leaning upon bis cl an old hunter, nnd they scoured the forest in Tho Indian eat down before him, bis scroll lliey tound Ins trail and followed it Iect curled up under him, (podibus intortN), up to Mooschcad Lake, whero tho Kennebec bolt upriirht. His head was shairv. with breaks out so wildly and unexpectedly from I"4''' long, coarse, and turning gray, like the that majestic lake. Tliero they found his mane ol n horso His only clothing was a hunting knifo, as if drnppod care'lessly ; but dingy red shirt, and trousers of untanncd no farther could thev traco him. Tho elm deerskin. His mocassins wero tho skin nf of the wild lako was stony, and no marks of n mooso's hind' leg, cut offa littlo below the ino icei could no seen. In vain thoy shouted, joint, sewed up nt ono end, and drawn on kindled fires, and fired their rifles: the echoes and fitted to tho foot while irroen. His teeth camo down from far up tho lake, butnooth- wero mostly gone, and ho looked, as ho was, er response Jlad he lallcn into tho rapid rner.' they could hnd no traces of him. Alter lingering nnd soarchit.g a couple of days, they returned towards home, occasion ally firing their rifles, each in miick succes sion tho hunter's signal hoping, though faintly, that ho had ro.ichcd home. Hut no, ho was not thcro. It was a profound mystery. Tlio widowed mother was almost crushed by the misfortune. Mr. Oidway 6cnt all tho way to the army, to seo if by any possibility his sons had seen or heard from young Keel field, but they bad not. They had expected ho would havo jjincd them before this. So it continued to bo a prolound mystery. Tho mother mado up her mind that he had fallen into tno river somewhere, and w.vs drowned. a tough, short, powerful creature, afraid of nothing, having nothing to inako or lose, They g.ued at each other in silenco a while ; at length the young man said : "I havo fol lowed ou all ninht. I havo nut mv lifn in your bands ; i.ow who aro you, and what do you want ol mo 7" " ion 'Irani ol mot "Xo. If I had been. I should nnt lmrn followed you," and now ii you nint the evil spirit, who aro you ? ' 'riposo wo meet Loretto Indians : they no hurt you. Mo run, then you no can say who Indian bo?" " So you want to run if wo nro in danger, and Itavo mo to my fate, nnd that, too, so uia you ran i do Known i" Ordway nearly coincided with her in opinion. The Indian looked fierco for a moment, AsfurSusan, sho didn't, and sho wouldn't ana" c'row "Ut his hunting-knife. Tlio young believe, weak as ho was, but that ho knew man kept his cyo carefully on him. From enough to keep out of the wnter, or at " bottom of tho sheath, tliero rolled out a least to rise up alter ho was dead, and floitl pieco of paper, which ho handed to tho What her theory was, she never told ; but young man. Ho unrolled it nnd read ; " Should this ever meet tho cyos of D. R., let him know that the bearer is trust-worthy. Fullow him implicitly. Si-ban O." inung ueuiieni sprang up, und cauht tho Indian by tho hand, and nlmust 6houtcd question upon question. Ilo was ready to go, felt strong, could travel all day, nnd then fell hack exhausted. Tho Indian gavo bim somo wnter, and then somo driest venison Irora his wallet, nnd bado him lie down and sleep till night, if heionld. Kedlielddidsn, hut his bniln whlr.ed. In n troubled sleep, he now dreamed ol home, and then of his prison, then of Susan Ordway, then hu heaid tho alarm bell, and tho voices of men pursu ing nnd the haying of bloodhounds hard aft;r him, nnd then hu would awnko and find it was tho roar of the mils near dim ! So ho Hnent tho day. At night they c.uno out ol their cave, followed tho course nl the beaut -full Cbiudlcro River, up towards its bead waters. This charming valley was already occupied by the French population, inn they wero compelled to travel by night, and llo by during tho day. Their progress was nccesan ly slow. On tho fourth day the Indian crept out of their covert, and saw sureial bond men coining towards them. Ho knew in stantly that thoy wero liritish soldiers in pursuit. They wcru on a hill about half a inilo distant, und hnd to descend into ajjvnl loy, nnd rise another hill licforo tliey reached lum. Ho gazed at them earnestly, till they descended tho bill, nnd then ho sprang up liko a ent. Ho mado tho prisoner run to the roadsido and climb up into a thick evergreen far up out ot sight, llo then took, oil his moocaiini t-od bid them ; then ho turned his though slio fcltoad cnouzh. it was not that choking grief which tho certain death of nur friends always brings. Tlio old hunter aver red that thcro wa a mighty spirit by the namoof Kinneo, who owned that lake, and who 6ometimei destroyed people who camo to his lake alone. His homo was on a moun tain in tho middlo of the lako, (now called Mount Kinneo), where ho carried hi victims and ate them half roasted ! And ho consoled tho mourners w ith tho nssuranco that bo bad no doubt but that they could find some of tho young man's bones tho next 6eason, thrown down tho mountain ! Young Redficld had boon lost, not forgotten, nbout two years, when a suitor, every way prepossessing, presented himself at tho " brick Iiouso," and in tho most proper way possible, offered his heart und hand toSusau. I'o tho surpriso of all, sho civilly declined both. Tho young man besought her parents to intercede for him. They did no, nnd to no inirrioso. Ho then sought tho aid f tho Widow Kcdfield, and sho had a talk with MissSusun. To her surprise tho girl would talk of nothing but her sun Daniel, his hab its, his ability to swim, bis power to tako of himself, f0 her own amazement, positive Susan didn't and wouldn't Micvo ho was dead, or ever had been, Tho Widow almost orgot hor errand, and went homo blaming herself for Indulging hopes on tho whim ol u spoiled child. But eho went to work in right good earnest to find Capeeno, nn Indian who camo in those- parts. After great search Capeeno was found, and told that Mis Susan wanted to ico him vry much, rounded him with pistols In hand "Move a foot you dog of nn Indian nnd you aro dead. Shoot him If ho moves.

"The great question re gards tho future; the past cannot bo recalled, nor remedied.

As our forests have rlis appeared, this 60urco ol deterioration must bo cut oil', but n serious injury bus been in flicted, which nothing can euro but tho re furnishing of the potash to the soil.
