THE PIONEERS.
During the five or six minutes that
before the youth ami Major
reapeared, Judge Temple ami the
Sheriir, together with most of the vol
unteers, neenIeil to the terrace, where
the latter Ix-gau to express their con
jecture of tlie result, and to recount
their individual services in the coiitlict.
l!ut the sight of the peaee-niakera, as
cending the ravine, shut ever- mouth.
On a rude chair, covered with un
dressed doer-skins, they supportd a
human beine, w hom they seated care
fully and respect fully in the midtat of
the assembly. His head was covered
by long, smooth locks, of the color of
snow. His dress, which was studious
ly neat and clean, was composed of
such fabrics as none but the wealthiest
classes wear, but was threadbare and
patched ; and on his feet were placed
a pair of moccasins, ornamented in
the best manner of Indian ingenuity.
The outlines of his face were grave
and dignficd, though his vacant eye,
which opened and turned slowly to the
faces of those around him in unmean
ing looks, too surely announced that
the period had arrived, when age
brings the mental imbecility of child
hood. Natty bad followed the supporters
of this unexpected object to the top
of the cave, and took his station at a
little distance behind him, leaning on
his rille, in the midst of his pursuers,
with a fearlessness which showed that
heavier interests than those w hich af
fected himself were to be decided.
Major Hartniann placed himself beside
the aged man, uncovered, with his
whole soul beaming through those eyes
which so commonly danced with frolic
and humor. Edwards rested with one
hand familiarly, but affectionately, on
the chair, though his heart was swell
ing with emotions that denied him ut
torance. All eyes were gazing intently , but each
tongue continued mute. At length the
decrepit stranger, turning his vacant
looks from face to face, made a feeble
attempt to rise, while a faint smile
rosod iiis wasted face, like an habit
Mai effort at courtesy, as he said, in a
liollow, tremulous voice
"He pleased to be seated, gentlemen.
The council will open immediately.
Each one who loves a good and virtu
ous king, will wish to sec these colo
nies continue loyal. Be seated I
pray you, be seated, gentlemen. The
troops shall halt for the night."
'This is the wandering of insanity !"
naid Marmaduke ; "who will explain
this scene?"
"No, sir," said Edwards, firmly,
" 'tis only the decay of nature ; who
is answerable for its pitiful condition,
remains to be shown."
"Will the gentlemen dine with us,
wy sou ?" said the old stranger, turn
ing to a voice that he both knew and
loved. "Order a repast suitable for
his Majesty's olliccrs. You know we
have the best of game always at our
Command."
"Who is this man?" asked Marma
duke, in a hurried voice, in which the
dawnings of conjecture united with
interest to put the question.
"This man!" returned Edwards
calmly, his voice, however, gradually
rising as he proceeded ; "thismnn, sir,
whom you behold hid in caverns, and
deprived of everything that can make
life desirable, was once the companion
and counsellor of those who ruled your
country, and, Judge Temple, he was
rightful proprietor of this very soil on
which we stand. This man was tho
father of"
"This, then," cried Marmaduke,
with powerful emotion, "this, then, is
the lost Major Ellingham !"
"Emphatically so," said the youth,
fixing a piercing eye on the other.
"And you! and you!" continued
tho Judge, articulating with difficulty.
"I am his grandson."
A minute passed in profound silence.
All eyes were fixed on the speakers,
and even the old German appeared to
wait the issue in deep anxiety. But
the moment of agitation soou passed.
Marmaduke raised his head from his
bosom, where it had sunk, not in
.shame, but in devout mental thanks
givings, and, as large tears fell over
his fine manly face, he grasped the
hand of the youth warmly, and said
"Oliver, I forgive till thy harshness
all thy suspicions. I now eo it all.
I forgive thee evervthtnsr, but suffer
ing this aged man to dwell in such a
place, when not only my habitation,
but my fortune, were at his command."
"He's true as ter steel I" shouted
Major Hartraann ; "titn't I tell'tyou,
lat, dat Marmatuke Temple vast a
frient dat woult never fail in ter dime
as of neet?"
"It is true, Judge Temple, that my
opinions of your conduct have been
staggered by what this worthy gentle
man has told mo. When I found it
impossible to convey my grandfather
back whence the enduring love of this
old man brought him, without detec
tion and exposure, I went to tho Mo
hawk in quest of one of his former
comrades, in whose justice I had de
pendence. He is your friend, Judge
'Temple, but if what ho says be true,
both my father and myself may have
Judged you harshly."
"You name your father!" said Mar
maduke, tenderly "Was he, indeed,
lost in the packet ?"
"He was. He had left me, after
. several years of fruitless application
and comparative poverty, in Nova-
Scotia, to obtain the compensation for
his losses, which the British commis
sioner, had at length awarded. After
spending a year in England, he was
returning to Halifax, on his way to a
government, to which ho had been ap
pointed, in the West-Indies, . intend
ing to go to the place whore my grand-
father hac sojourned during and since
tho war, and take him with us.
"But, thou !" said Marmaduke,
with powerful interest ; "I had thought
r1hat thou hart perished with him.
,A flush passed over the cheeks of
the young man, who gazed nlout him
at the wondering faces of the volun
teers, and continued silent. Marma
duke turned to the veteran captain,
who just then rejoined his command,
and said
"March thy soldiers back again,
and dismiss them ; the zeal of the
sheriir has much mistaken his duty.
Dr. Todd, I will thank you to attend
to the injury which Hiram Doolittle
has received in this untoward affair.
Uichard, you will oblige me by send
ing up the carriage to the top of the
hill. Benjamin, return to your duty
in my family."
Unwelcome as these orders were to
most of the auditors, the suspicion
that they had somewhat exceeded the
wholesome restraints of the law, and
the habitual respect with which all the
commands of the Judge were received,
induced a prompt compliance.
When they were gone, and the rock
was left to the parties most interested
in an explanation, Marmaduke, point
ing to the aged Major Ellingham, said
to his grandson
"Had we not better remove thy pa
rent from this open place, until my
carriage can arrive ?"
"Pardon me, sir, the air does him
good, and he has taken it whenever
there was no dread ef a discovery. I
know not how to net, Judge Temple ;
ought I, can I, suffer Major Effingham
to become an inmate of your family?"
"Thou shalt be thyself the judge,"
said Marmaduke. "Thy father was
my early friend. lie intrusted his for
tune to "my care. When we separated,
he had such confidence in me, that he
wished no security, no evidence of the
trust, even had there been timeorcon
venience for exacting it. This thou
hast heard?"
"Most truly, sir," said Edwards, or
rather Efllnghain, as we must now
call him, with a bitter smile.
"We divided in politics. If the
cause of this country W?.a successiui,
the trust was sacred with me, 101 none
knew of thy father's interest. If the
crown still held its sway, it would be
easy to restore the property of so
loyal a subject as Colonel Ellingham.
Is not this plain?"
"The premises arc good, sir," con
tinued the youth, with the same in
credulous look as before.
"Listen listen, poy," said the
German. "Dero is not a hair as of
ter rogue in tor hot of ter Tchooge."
"We all know the issue of the
struggle," continued Marmaduke, dis
regarding both. "Thy grandfather
was left in Connecticut, regularly sup
plied by thy father with the means of
such a subsistence as suited his wants.
This I well knew, though I never had
intercourse with him, even in our hap
piest days. Thy father retired with
the troops to prosecute his claims on
England. At all events Ins Josses
must be great, for Ins real estates
were sold, oud 1 became the lawful
purchaser. It was not unnatural to
wish that her might have no bar to ins
just recovery?"
"There was none, but the uilllcuity
of providing for so many claimants."
"But there would have been one,
and an insuperable one, had I an
nounced to the world that I held
these estates, multiplied, by the times
and my industry, a hundred fold in
value, only as bis trustee. Thou
knowest that 1 supplied him with con
siderable sums, immediately after the
war."
"You did, until"
"My letters were returned unopen
ed. Thy father bad much of thy own
spirit, Oliver ; he was sometimes hasty
and rash." The Judge continued, in
a self-condemning manner "Perhaps
my fault lies the other way ; I may
possibly look too far ahead, and cal
culate too deeply. It certainly was a
severe trial to allow the man whom I
most loved to think ill of me for seven
years, in order that he might honestly
apply for his just remunerations. But
had he opened my last letters, thou
wouldst have learned the whole truth.
Those I sent him to England, by what
my agent writes me, he did read, lie
died, Oliver, knowing all. He died
my friend, and 1 thought thou hadst
died with him."
"Our poverty would not permit us
to pay for two passages," said the
youth, with the extraordinary emotion
with which he ever alluded to the de
graded state of his family; "I was
left in the Province to wait for his re
turn, and when the sad news of his
loss reached mc I was nearly penni
less."
"And what didst thou, boy," asked
Marmadukej in a faltering voice.
"I took my passage here in search
of my grandfather ; for I well knew
that his resources were gone, with the
half pay of my father. On reaching
his abode I learnt that ho had left it
in secret ; though the reluctant hire
ling, who deserted him in his poverty,
owned, to my earnest entreaties, that
he believed that he had been carried
away by an old man, who had formor
ly been his servant. I knew at once
it was Natty, for my father often "
"Was Natty a'servant to thy grand-
iatnerf exclaimed the Judge.
"Of that, too, were you ignorant?"
saut tno youth, an evident surpriso
"How should I know it? I never
met the Major, nor was tho name of
Bumppo ever mentioned to me.
knew him only as a man of the woods,
and one who lived by hunting. Such
men are too common to excite sur
prise." "He was reared in the family of my
grandfather; served him for many
years during their campaigns at the
west, where ho became attached to
the woods, and ho was left here as a
kind of locum tenons on the lands that
old Mohegan (whose life my grandfa
ther once saved) induced tho Dela
wares to grant him, when they admit
ted hiin as an honorary member of
their tribe."
"This, then, is thy Indian blood?"
"I have no other," said Edwards,
smiling ;"but to go on with my tale
I l'ol lowed to the lake where I had so
often K-cn told that Natty dwelt, mid
found him maintaining his old master in
secret ; for even he could not bear to
exhibit to the world, in his poverty
and dotage, a man whom a whole jm-o-ple
once looked up to with respect."
"Ami what did you?"
"What did I! I spoilt my last
money in purchasing a rille, clad my
self in a coarse garb, and learned to
Ik n hunter by the side of Leather
stocking. You know the rest, Judge
Temple."
"Ant vere vast olt Fritz Hartniann !"
saidlheGerman, reproachfully ; "didst
never hear a name us of old Fritz
Hai-tinanii from ter niout of ter fader,
lat !"
"I may have leen mistaken, gentle
men, returned the youth ; "but I had
pride, nnd could not submit to such an
exposure as this day even has reluc
tantly brought to light."
The w heels of Judge Temple's car
riage were soon heard clattering up
the side of the mountain, and the party
were transferred to the mansion.
Until his parent was placed comfort
ably in bod, with Natty seated by his
side, Ellingham did not quit him. lie
then obeyed the summons to the libra
ry of the Judge, where he found the
latter, with Major Hartniann, waiting
for him.
Head this paper, Oliver," said Mar
maduke to him, as he entered, "and
thou wilt find that, so far from intend
ing thy family wrong during life, it has
been my care to provide that justice
should be done nt even a later day."
The youth took the paper, which
his first glance told him was the will
of the Judge. Hurried and agitated
as he was, he discovered that the date
corresponded with the time of the un
usual depression of Marmaduke. As
he proceeded, his eyes began to moist
en, ami the hand which held the in
strument shook violently.
The will commenced with the usual
forms, spun out by the ingenuity of
M r. Van der School ; but after this
subject was fairly exhausted, the pen
of Marmaduke became plainly visible.
in clear, dhTLmct, manly, and even elo
quent language, he recounted his obli
gations to Ellingham, the nature of
their connect ion, and the circumstances
in which thev separated. He then pro
ceeded to relate the motives for his
long silence, mentioning, however,
large sums that he had forwarded to
his "friend, which had been returned,
with the letters opened. After this,
he spoke of his search for the grand
father, who had unaccountably disap
peared, and his fears that the direct
ieir of the trust was buried in the
ocean with his father.
After, in short, recounting in a
clear narrative, the events which our
reiidcrs must now be able to connect,
he proceeded to make a fair and exact
statement of Hie sums left in his care
by Colonel Ellingham. A devise of
his whole estate to certain responsible
trustees followed ; to hold the same
for the benefit, in equal moieties, of
his daughter, on one part, and of Oli
ver Ellinglmm, formerly a major in
the army of Great Britain, and ot Ins
son Edward Efllnghain, and of his swi
Edward Oliver Ellingham, or to the
survivor of them, and the descendants
of such survivor, for ever, on the other
part.
The tears fell from the eyes ot tlie
young man, as he read this undeniable
testimony of the good faith of Marma
duke, and his bewildered gaze was
still fastened on the paper, when a
sweet voice, that thrilled in every nerve,
spoke, near him, saying,
"Do you yet doubt us, Oliver t
"1 have never doubted you 1" cried
the youth, recovering his recollection
and his voice, as he sprung to seize
the hand of Elizabeth : "no, not one
moment has my faith in you wavered."
"And my father"
"God bless him!"
"I thank thee, my son," said the
Judge, exchanging a warm pressure
ol the haiwilh tho youth ; "but we
have both erred ; thou hast been too
hasty, and I have been too slow. One
half of my estates shall be thine as
soon as they can be conveyed to thee ;
and if what my suspicions tell mo be
true, 1 suppose the other must follow
speedily." He took the hand which he
held, and united it with that of his
daughter, and motioned towards the
door to the Major.
"I tell you vat, gal !" said the old
German, good humoredly ; "if I vast,
ast I vast ven 1 servit mit his grant
fader on ter lakes, ter lazy tog shouln't
via ter prize as for nottiu."
"Come, come, old Fritz," cried the
Judge ; "you are seventy, not seven
teen ; Richard waits for you with a
bowl of egg-nog, in tho hall."
"Eichart! thenuyvel!" exclaimed
the other hastening out of tho room ;
"he makes tor nog agf for ter horse.
I vilt show ter sheriff mit my own
hants! Ter duyvel! I polieve ho
sweetens mit ter yankeo molasses 1"
Marmaduke smiled and nodded af
fectionately at tho young couple, and
closed the door after them. If any of
our readers expect that we are going
to open it again, for their gratification,
they will soou find themselves in a
mistake.
The events of our tale carry us
through tho summer ; and, after mak
ing nearly the circle of the year, we
must conclude our labors in the delight
ful month of October. Many impor
tant incidents had, however, occurred
in the intervening period ; a few of
which it may bo necessary to recount
The two principal were, tho marriage
of Oliver and Elizaboth, and the death
of Major Ellingham. The day suc
ceeding the discovery at the cave, Nat
ty nnd Benjamin re-entered tho jail
peaceably, where they continued, well
fed and comfortable, until tho return
of an express to Albany, who brought
tho Governor s pardon to the Leather-
stocking. In the meantime, proper
means were employed to satisfy Hiram
for the assoults on his person ; and on
tho same day, tho two comrades issued
together into society again, with their
characters not at all affected by their
imprisonment.
Monsieur Le Juoi, who has Ih-oii in
troduced to our readers, ln-cmiso no
picture of that country would be faith
ful without such a Gaul, returned to
his bureau, in Paris ; where lie after
wards issued yearly bulletin of his
happiness, ami of his gratitude to his
friends in America.
Judge Temple procured a call for
Sir. Grant to one of the towns on the
Hudson, where he could live more nt
his case than in journeying through
woods ; where he could spend the
evening of his life in comfort ami quiet ;
and where his daughter might meet
with such society, and from such con
nection, s would Ik? proer for one of
her years and character.
On the little spot of level ground,
where the cabin of the Leather-stoking
had so long stood, was reared a
headstone, of white marble, surroun
ded by a circle of mason-work. By
the side of this stone, which was a
simple slab at the head of a grave,
stood a rich monument, decorated with
an urn, and ornamented tastefully w ith
the chisel. One marked the resting
place of Mohegan, and the other, that
of Major Ellingham.
The last seen of the Leather-Stocking
and his hounds, they were depart
ing together toward the setting huh,
where tho -simple but noble hearted
hunter became foremost in that bund
of Pioneers, who are opening the way
for the march of our nation ncross the
continent.
THE KM'.
Moit a i. CiiARACTKit. There is noth
ing which adds so much to the beauty
and power of man as a good moral
character. It is his wealth his in
fluence his life. It dignifies him in
every station, exalts him in every
condition, nnd glorifies him at every
period of life. Such a character is
more to be desired than everything
else on earth. It makes a man free
and independent. No servile tool
croaking sycophant no treacherous
honor-seeker ever bore such a charac
ter. The pure joys of truth and
righteousness never spring in such a
person. If young men but knew how
much a good character would dignify
and exalt them, how glorious it would
make their prospects, even in this
life; never should we find them yield
ing to the groveling and base-born
purposes of human nature.
Ji:tioi:i:NALT. The power of the
pendent root of the Banyan has been
lately exhibited in the celebrated tem
ple ol Juggernaut. 1 he sacred edihee,
which for seven centuries defied the
elements and encroachments of age,
is now found to be on the brink of de
struction. The seeds of the Banyan
tree have trot under the foundations,
and the whole fabric has been loosen
ed. The ruin was first indicated b
the falling of some large stones, just
after the idol had left tlie temple on
the last car festival. This catastro
phe has, as may be imagined, caused
great consternation, and is likely to
have a disastrous effect on the pres
tige of Juggernaut. It is a curious
coincidence that the most celebrated
Hindoo temple should thus be under
mined by trees held sacred, if not di
vine, by the whole Hindoo nation.
A Biiave Max. The late General
Bartlett lost early in the war his left
leg. At the assault on Port Hudson
he went into the battle on a white
pony, leaping over fallen trees, hihI
pushing through thiol: underbrush.
The Confederate officers so admired
the cool courage of the General that
they ordered their men not to lire at
him. But, nevertheless, he was hit
twice; and Dr. Briekett tells this
story of liia brave, generous spirit :
Soon after the beginning of the as
sault General Bartlett was brought
out on a stretcher to the surgeon's
headquarters. "Ah, General, sorry
to see you in this condition. Where
are you wounded?" "I have got a
bullet through my wrist, and a llesh
wound in my right leg. I don't know
whether the other leg (the wooden
one) is wounded or not ; you will have
to take that olf and exumine it."
OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
To the Editor of the Xetct:
New York, August 24, 1877.
I am not astronomer enough to
know whether your readers wen- treat
ed to the same show or not, but we of
New York have Uvn indulged iu an
eclipse this last week. Of course we
admit that it was in the highest de
gree unmannerly for the earth to get
in the moon' way in that style, and
perhaps it whs our duty to get out the
tom-toms and tin pans, as the Asiatic
heathen do under like circumstances,
ami scare it out of its improper iom
tion. If the silver goddess is at all
inclined to hushfulncsst she must have
sullered, for the number of telescopes
nnd opera glasses directed at her from
the metropolis alone was enough to
disconcert Lydia Thompson herself.
The Chinaman is getting to be an
object of attention. About a dozen
of him were up this week before the
U. S. Commissioner for selling un
stamped cigars. No description could
convey an idea of the blaudness and
chihllikcness of their yellow faces when
nrrai'Mied to answer. It seemed as if
butter wouldn't melt in their mouths
when they indicated that they under
stood nothing of the charge or of the
language, nor when, finding that that
wouldn't work, they set up the some
what startling defense that their cigars
being entirely made of cabbage leaves,
did not conic under the tobacco laws.
Altogether, they proved too much for
the Commissioner who, unable to make
anything of them, finally discharged
the whole lot alter u severe reprimand
which of course rolled off them like
water off a duck's back
They are by no means such fools as
they look, these serene wooden-shoed
rascals. Not long ago, one of them,
whom I will call Ah Sam, procured
from another, who shall be designated
as Ah Ling, about $120 in money,
which the oblging Ah Sam told his
compatriot ought to be deposited to
the hitter's credit. So the two went
together and made the deposit, taking
n receipt lor it in Ah Ling s name.
I his receipt Ah-Sani retained, sayim
that he would keep it safe till Ah Ling
should want it. Next day the perfidi
ous Sain returned to the place of de
posit alone, assumed the identity of
Ah Ling, produced the receipt and
said he wanted his money. One of
these heathens looks so much like all
the rest that the cashier, naturally sus
pecting nothing, counted out tho $120,
but said he must have the signature of
Ah Ling to the receipt. Sain readily
acceded to this, and made on the pa
per n tea chest character which he as
sured the conlubng stainp-slingcr was
Asiatic for that name. Shortly after
ward the genuine Ah Ling discovered
the ways that were dark of his be
nightcd brother and tore his pigtail in
an equal mixture of wrath and an
guish. He rushed to the cashier, ex
plained the circumstances and received
tho advice to have Ah Sam arrested
for forging his name to the receipt.
This counsel was acted upon nnd Sam
was hauled before the bur of Justice.
He was observed to smile sweetly
when the charge was preferred, but
said nothing. The cashier produced
the receipt, and handed it to Ah
Ling for identification. No sooner
had the latter fixed his slantindicular
gaze upon the signature than he gave
vent to what was probably a Mongoli
an expletive, and began to sputter to
the interpreter, who at once announced
the unexpected development that the
signature was not Ah Lingbut Ah Sam.
Cf course the latter had committed no
forgery in signing bis own name, nnd
therefore, t the dense bewilderment
and indignation of the Wronged" Ah
Ling, the charge was dismissed. The
wily Sain, who throughout had sat with
the same half-closed eyes and innocent
smile, glided peacefully out, whisper
ing softly as ho went, "Melican man
ho ttnkce he damsiuartec ; nllcc same
Chiny man tcachce he ono tree four
niece trick." Kadix.
Industhy. If industry is no more
than a habit, it is nt least an excel
lent one. If you ask nie which is the
real hereditary sin of human nature,
do. not imagine that 1 shall answer
pride, luxury, or egotism. No, I
shall say indolence. Who conquers
indolence shall conquer all the rest
indeed. All good principles must
stagnate without mental activity.
Don't condemn the drunkards.
They don't need that, for they condemn
themselves more than any one else
could ; they are to be pitied, nnd not
condemned. What we want is to go
to them full of love and tell them that
there is power in the gospel of the
Saviour, When ho comes to their
hearts ho will give them victory over
their appetites.
