“RitflK Smart of Hears.”
ON the link of a l>i£ Mississippi steamboat
stood an ago.lSouthern planter. Indica
ting hy a sweepof his arm the waters the boat
was passing over, he said to a passriif'tT from
th North: “When I was twelve years old 1
kild my first hear on a now plantation my
> father was then cutting out or a forest that
. grew directly over the waters of this bond.
ITiat was a mighty pawl plantation, anf
there was right smart of (wars there, too. lint
that one thousand acres of laud went into the
Mississippi years ago.”
it is putting no strain upon the figure tosa?
that great forests of youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly stredgth are swept in the
same wav every year into the great, turbid
torrent of disease and death. Yet it should
- not he so. That it is so is a disgrace as well as
a loss. I’eople are largely too careless or too
stupid to defend their own interests—-themost
• precious of which is health. That gone, all is
gone. Disease is simple, I Hit to recklessness
or ignorance the simplest thing might as well
he complex as a proposition in Conic Sections.
As the huge Western rivers, which so often
Mood the cities along their shores, arise in a
i few mountain springs, so all our ailments can
he traced to impure blood and a small group
of disordered organs.
The most elfeclive ami inclusive remedy for
disease is PAKKKH'S TOMC. It goes to
the sources of na in and weakness. In response
to its action the liver, kidneys, stomach and
I heart begin their work afresh, and disease is
driven out. The Tonic is not, however, an
intoxicant, hut cures a desire tor strong drink.

which have refused to yield to other agents?

Weary Man in Mimjihla,

T homas, of No. 5'J Madison street, Memphis,
Tenn. “This was an old experience, and life
became dull music. I was tired all over, with
pain in tin* lower limbs, and a habit of laying
awake of nights. Recently 1 tried one of
1 BIONHON’S CAIVINE DOROI’S BLASTERS
i and was decidedly relieved within twenty-four
hours. It may have been Providence that did
1 the work, hut I give the credit to Henson's
i Borons Blaster.” Mr. Thomas’ reverential ;
I idea does him credit, hut Providence works hy
1 agents, and among them Benson's Plaster

Last of the Mohicans.
BY

(Continued from last wcek.l
“If you mean the younger Dela
ware, he too is gone down with the
water.”
As there was nothing improbable
to an Indian in the manner of the
escape, .Magna admitted the truth of
what he had heard, with a readiness
that afforded additional evidence how
little he would prize such worthless
captives. With his companions,
however, the feeling was manifestly
different.
The llarons had awaited the re
sult of this short dialogue with char
acteristic patience, and with a silence
that increased until there was a gen
eral stillness in the katyd. When
Heyward ceased to speak, they turn
ed their eyes as one man on .Magna,
demanding, in this expressive man
ner, an explanation of what had been
said. Their interpreter pointed to
the river and made them acquainted
with the result, as much by the
action as by the few words he uttered.
When the fact was generally under
stood, the savages raised a frightful
yell, which declared the extent of
their disappointment.
• Hut, while Duncan resorted to
words of consolation to quiet the ap
prehensions of the sisters, he was not
so weak as to deceive himself. He
well knew that the authority of an
Indian chief was so little convention
al, that it was oftener maintained by :
physical superiority than by any
moral supremacy he might possess.
Danger was, therefore, magnified
exactly in proportion to the number
of the savage spirits by which they
were surrounded.
II is apprehensions were, however,
greatly relieved, when he saw that
the leader had summoned lus war
riors to himself in council. Their
deliberations were short, and it would
seem, by the silence of most of the j
party, the decision unanimous.
During this short conference, Hoy- j
ward, finding a respite from his;
greatest fears, had leisure to admire 1
the cautions manner in which the
llnrons had made their approaches, j
even when hostilities had ceased. j
1( has already been staled, that the
upper half of the island was a naked
rock, and destitute of any other de
fences than a few scattered logs of i
drift-wood. They had selected this
point to make their descent, having
borne the canoe through the wood
around the cataract for that purpose.
As soon as this change was made,
the leader made signs to the prisoners
to descend and enter.
As resistance was useless, Heyward
set the example of submission, by
leading the way into the canoe, where
he was soon seated with the sisters,
and the still w ondering David.
Here was held another short hnt
earnest consultation, during which
the horses, to whose panic their owners
ascribed their heaviest misfortune,
were led from the cover of the woods,
and brought to the sheltered spot.
The hand now divided.
Duncan had been fund of believing,
from the uncommon forbearance of
the savages, that he was reserved as
a prisoner to Montcalm.
All those busy and ingenious specu
lations were now annihilated by the j
conduct of his captors. That portion
of the hand who had followed the
huge warrior took the route towards
the foot of the Horican, and no other
expectation was left for himself and
companions, than that they were to
be retained as hopeless captives by
their savage conquerors. Anxious to
kifow the worst, and willing, in such
an emergancy, to try the potency ol
gold, he overcame his reluctance to
speak to Magna. Addressing himself
to nis former guide, who had how as
sumed the authority and manner of
one iho was to direct the future
movements of the party, he said, in
tones as friendly and confident us he
could assume, —
“I wotud speak to Ma c u.t, what is
fit only for so great a chief to hear.”
The Indian turned Ids eyes on the
young soldier scornfully, as he an
swered—
“ Spea k; trees have no ears!”
“lint the red Unions are not deaf;
1 and counsel that is fit for the great
| men of the nation would make the
I young warriors drunk. If Magna
i will not listen, the officer of the king
i knows how to keep silent.”
The savage spoke carelessly to his
comrades, who were busied, after their
awkward manner, in preparing the
horses for the reception of the sisters
and moved a little to one side,
whither, by a cautions gesture, he
induced Heyward to follow.
“Now, speak,” he said, “if the
words are such as Magna should
hear.”
“Lo Kenard Subtil has proved
himself worthy of the honorable;
name given to him hy his Canada \
fathers,” commenced Heyward; “1
i see Ids wisdom and all that he has
I done for ns, and shall remember it,
when the hour to reward him arrives,
i Yes! Kenard lias proved that he is
not only a groat chief in council, but
I one who knows how to deceive his
enemies!”
“What has Kenard done ?” coldly
demanded the Indian.
“What! lias he not seen that the
woods were filled with outlying
parties of the enemies, and that the
j serpent could not steal through them j
without being seen? Then, did he I
not lose Ids path to blind the eyes of |
the llnrons? Did he not pretend to I
go back to his tribe, who had treated j
| him ill, and driven him from their |
I wigwams like a dog? Does not j
Kenard mean to turn like a fox on |
Ids footsteps, and carry to the rich |
and grayheuded Scotchman his ,
daughters? Yes, Magna, I see it I
| all. and I have already been thinking j
how so much wisdom and honesty ;
should he repaid. First, the chief of I
William Henry will give as a great
chief should for such a service. The
medal* of Magna will no longer be of
tin, but of beaten gold; his horn will
run over with powder; dollars will bo
as plenty in Ids pouch as the pebbles
on the shores of (lie Horican ; and the
deer will lick his hand, for they will
know it to he vain to fly from the
; rifle he will carry! As for myself, 1
know not how to exceed the gratitude
of the Scotchman, but I—yes, I —”
“What will the young chief, who
I comes from towards the sun give?”
demanded the Huron, observing that
Heyward hesitated in his desire to
| end the enumeration of benefits with
that which might form the climax of
1 an Indian’s wishes.
“He will make the fire-water from
the Islands in the salt lake (low be
fore (he wigwam of Magna, until the
heart of the Indian shall he lighter
than the leathers of the humming
bird, and his breath sweeter than the
wild honeysuckle,”
Le Kenard had listened gravely as
Heyward slowly proceeded in this
subtle speech. When the young man
mentioned the artifice lie supposed
the Indian to have practiced on his
own nation, the countenance of the
listener was veiled in an expression
of cautions gravity.
The Huron mused a few moments,
and then, laying his hand on the
rude bandages of his wounded
shoulder, lie said,with some energy,—
“Do friends make such marks ?”
“Would ‘La longue Carabine’ cut
one so light on an enemy ?”
“Do the Delawares crawl upon
those they love like snakes, twisting
themselves to strike ?”
“Would ‘Le gros Serpent’ have
been heard by the cars of one he wish
ed to be deaf?”
“Does the white chief burn his
powder in the faces of his brothers?”
“Does he over miss his aim, when
seriously bent to kill ?” returned
Duncan, smiling with well-acted sin
cerity.
Another long and deliberate pause
succeeded these sententious questions
and ready replies. Duncan saw that
the Indian hesitated. In order to
complete his victory, he was in the
act of recommencing the enumera
tion of the rewards, when Magna
made an expressive gesture and
said—
“ Enough; Le Kenard is a wise
chief, and what he does will he seen.
Z I( has lona been a practice with the whites
to conciliate the important men oi' the In
dians, by presenting medal i, which are worn
in the place of their own rude ornaments.
Those given hy the English generally hear
the impression of the reigning king, and
those given hy the Americans, that o. the
president.
$1.50 per annum—lN ADVANCE.
WHOLE NO. 636.
Go, and keep the mouth shut. When
Magna speaks, it will be the time to
answer.”
Heyward, perceiving that the 03-08
of his companion wore warily fasten*
od on the rest of the band, fell back
immediately, in order to avoid the
appearance of any suspicions confed
eracy with their leader. Magna ap
proached the horses, and affected to
bo well-pleased with the diligence
and ingenuity of his comrades. He
then signed to Heyward to assist the
sisters into the saddles, for he seldom
deigned to use the English tongue,
unless urged by some motive of more
’ than usual moment.
There was no longer any plausible
pretext for delay; and Duncan was
obliged, however reluctantly, to com
ply. As he performed the office, he
whispered his reviving hopes in the
ears of the trembling females, who,
through dread of encountering the
savage countenances of their captors,
seldom raised their eyes from the
ground. The mure of David had
been taken with the followers of the
large chief; in consequence, its own-
I er, as well as Duncan, were com
! polled to journey on foot.
When all were prepared, Magna
: made the signal to proceed, advancing
1 in front to lead the party in person

j uully coming to a true sense of his
: true condition, as the effects of the
wound became less and loss apparent,

— Shj/lock,
The Indian had selected for camp
one of those steep, pyramidal hills,
which bear 11} strong resemblance to
artificial mounds, and which so fre
quently occur in the valleys of
America.
Notwithstanding the swiftness of
their flight, one of the Indians hud
found an opportunity to strike a
straggling fawn with an arrow, and
had borne the more preferable frag
ments of the victim patienth-, on his
shoulders, to the stopping-place.
Without any aid from the science of
cookery, he was immediately employ
ed, in common with his fellows, in
gorging himself with this digestible
sustenance.
This abstinence, so remarkable in
an Indian when he posse ss :d the
means of satisfying hunger, at length
attracted the notice of Heyward.
“Has not Magna kept the gun in
his face long enough to escape oil
danger from the Canadians and will
not the chief of William Henry be
better pleased to see his daughters
before another night may have hard
ened his heart to their loss, to make
him less liberal in'his reward:”
“Do the pale-faces love their chil
dren less in the morning than at
night?” asked the Indian coldly.
“By no means,” returned Hayward,
“the white man may, and does often,
forget the burial-place of hig fathers;
he sometimes ceases to remember
those he should love and has prom
ised to cherish ; but the affection of a
parent for his child is never permit
ted to die.”
“And is the heart of the white
headed chief soft, and will he think
of the babes his squaws have given
him ? He is hard to his warriors and
his eyes are made of stone!”
“He is severe to the idle and wick
ed, but to the sober and deserving ho
is a leader both Just and humane.
You have seen the gray-head in front
of his warriors, Magna; but I have
seen his e3 T es swimming in water when
he spoke of those children now in
your power.”
Heyward paused, for he knew not
how to construe the remarkable ex
pression that gleamed across the fea
tures of the Indian.
“Go,” said the Huron, “to the dark
haired daughter and say Magna waits
to speak. The father will remember
what the child promises.
Duncan reluctantly repaired to the
spot where (.'ora and Alice were rest
ing to communicate with the former.

Indian’s wishes, and must be prodi*
