The Legeud Of Naucoochee.
In the upper part of our beloved
Etate of Gt og?a,t here is a i egion of coun
try celebrated for is beautiful scenery.
There the little mountain stream Tal
lulah forces for itself a passage length
wise of the mountain, and dashes foam
ing, by successive leaps, through the
gorge, forming falls and cascades ol
wildest and most magnficent beauty.
Here the beautiful Tuccoa precipita
tes itself over a ledge of rocks so high,
that long ere the stream has reached
the basin below, it lias broken into a
shower of drops like great pearls, mak
ingene feel that surely the fairies are
at play above / while not many miles
distant lies the Valley of. Naucoochee
sunningf sclf between ranges of high
hills; while Mount Yoouh, towering
up at the end, closes up the valley, and
seems like a citadel, overlooking and
guarding the whole.
Here the young maiden Naucoochee
first saw the lighr,—here grew in beau
tv, like oneot the wild flowers of her
native hills, until the name ‘Nuucoo-
chee,’ Star of the Evening,’given her
6v the fond love of the chief her fath
er, became to the whole tribe a reality.
She was their star, the* light of their
eyes, the desire of their hearts. They
gloried in her beauty and grace; to
these untutored sons of the 5 rest she
was more than a queen, more than hu
man; they deified her, they wors! iped
her as divine; her wish expres^d o
even imagined, sent many a y oung war
rior forth to deeds of valor, and her
Drayer disarmed the w rath of mmy
older chief who, at her bidding, gave
his captives to her mercy.
Tl e choicest spoils ot the hunt were
laid at her wigwarm and when, with
the fitful grace of girlhood, she would
twine the - wild clematis in' her hair,
arid, tricking herself out in the soft doe-
skiris, and the eagles’ feathers, and ali
the ornaments he had brought her from
his last tiaffie with the white traders,
dance before her father.—At first with
the slow measured movement which
btfilled an Indiau princess, and then
exciting herself to faster, and faster,
and faster movements, until the little
moccasined feet seemed like flying
fairies, and her bright eyes sparkleo
like twin stars,—even the old chief,
Indian and stern as he was, .could not
r press a grunt of delight, and Ml that
e spot s fiorn a hundred hostile tubes
ic Id hot make up to him the less oi
his b. loved, daughter.
But now the tune drew near when
all the friendly tribes should meet iu
council in the Valley of Yonah. Nev
er had such preparations been made,
never such anxiety shown by the
young braves, for the fame of Nauooo-
cbee’s'beauty had spread far and wide,
and even tribes hitherto hostile now
resolved to seud ambassadors, and ask
admission to the league* such was the
charm which she exercised, such the
power she wielded.
In the golden month of the year, the
lorious October, the league was to as
stmbie,—but one more mooa. should
fill, and the time would have come,—
when a fearful pestilence suddenly
broke out among the people. Day by
day they sickened anti died, day by day
the old, the young people, and chiefs,
men and woman, dropped, and stretch
ed themselves out never io rise again.
Every lace paled with fear every heart
grew faint with dread. Offerings of eve
ry kind were made to appease the angry
God: By night and by day the watch
fires burned, where, wiih never ceas
ing cries and prayers, the prophets met
the Great Spirit. Then altars were
built, and humau sacrifices offered, ho
ming vainly that the blOod of the cap
tive victim would atone for the hidden
sin (whatever it might be) for which
they were being thus grievously afflict
ed. Stiil tie wing of the death angel
swept over the devoted valley.
Now the prophets proclaimed a rig-
ed fast, anil called upon the braves to
humble themselves around the Sacred
Cave, into which t'fny would retire, to
seek an answer from the. Most High;
to beseech Hun to let them know what
their sin had been, aud how they must
atone for it—how appease his vengence.
For three days and nights they prayed
and fasted ; witii bloodshot eyes, with
patching lips, with shrieks and wail
ings, they scourged themselves, they
cut themselves with knives', until the
worn-out, fainting frames fell prone
upon the ground.
A deep, deep silence, a hush, as if of
expectationpuhi then a rushing mighty
wiud, which shook the tail pines, and
bowed them to ; the ground as reeds;
and then the -U>u‘l roiling^thuhder leapt
from crag locaag, flour; mountain to
mountain, and the fierce lightening
flashed, almost bliuding the eyes Ait
those who dared to raise them. The
gentle Tallulah, swollen with the resist
less rain, rushed from.its mountain bed,
and forced, its way in- maddening cas
cades through, the whole mountain's
leugth, forminggorgis-and defile ..
Another huah 1 and then, with mat
ted hair and gleaming eyes and bleed
ing flesh,. the Prophet stood before
them.
‘O lost and eri ing children, here the
message which tue Great Spirit sends
through me tp you.:
‘Ye have loved, the human and the
beautiful more.than the Divine; and
naught can expiate the sin, and drive
aw-ay the avenger, but- the free-will
offering of your most precious, your
most beautilul!’
A silence as of death .followed the
Tbet* O w hat a wail

old chief bowed his head, and rocked
himself in agony; no tear might stain
his cheek, but his heart wept blood,
for every eye turned straight upon
Naucoochee.
She had risen at the announcement^
and stood as one transfixed with bor*-
ror; then starting forward, knelt, and
laid her head upon her father’s knee,
and only said, ‘My father, I am here.*'
At the entrance to the valley, upon
a beautiful mound, grew a tall, straight
pine. There Naucoochee chose to
die, there, whence she could see all tbo
beauty of her lovely valley. Never
had the skies been so blue, never the
mountains so brilliant in their October
druse of crin son and gold; never tbe
air so clear, never the song of the birds
so sweet, and never had Naucoochee
been so surpassingly beautifal, as ou
that next morning, when, in all her
bridal trickery, she stood at the foot of
the green pine—to die. Gifts, as if
for her marriage, bad been made her,
and were heaped at h«r feet The bri
dal song had been sung, the death:
dance finished ; but though the women
around her wept and watled, no tear
moistened her eye. Life, beautifal life,
was very dear to her, bat she was
y ielding it up a willing sacrifice for the’
good of her people; and withjthe rapt
look of a seraph she calmly awaited
death.
Now the end was near. Closing
around her, the death dance over, each
warrior waited with bended bow the
signal from the chief. Calmly she
looked up- n them all; then loosing
the girdle from her slender waist, beck
oned young Oceola, and bade him
keep it till in the gardens of the blest
they met again.
One more loving, fingering look
adown her beautiful valley, as it lay
laughing in the sun-light; one more
loving glance at the companions, of her
childhood ; then, turning to her father,
she sire ched forth her arms to him

O my father, send me home I’
And as she feP, the plague was stay
ed. The death angel, satisfied, carried
her g!<5”ified;$pirit to tiie gardens of the*
blest, and returned no more to tbe val

her name.

her. A mound of stones heaped above

The Poor Parson.
‘I pity the poor parson/ quoth- my
uncle Toby. But did uncle Toby ever
-read the following story, which the
Christian Witness, by one of its contri
butors, vouches for:
The former pastor of a country churcft
meets with his successor and makes in-
quiry:
‘Mr. is still living?’
‘On, yes; one of the best men in the
parish; not liberal, but a good man
and vety ricbJ
‘What does he do for your support T
‘Well, not much; but he pays his
pew-rent.’
‘Does he sell vinegar?’
‘Oh! yes; be has one of the largest
orchards in tbe par.sh, and is so con
scientious his cider i3 all made into-vin
egar.
‘Does he give you any of his vinegar?’
‘Not he.’
‘So it was in my day. HU vinegar
was made to sell. When his daughter
sickened and died I went there almost
every day, five miles off. When she
died she had a great funeral, and I sat
up most of the night to write a funeral
sermon. I called tho next day.. Then*
a few days after I wen', and thought I
•would carry my vinegar jug which just
tiien happened to be empty. The jug
was filled. L did not like to take it
away wi bout offering to pay,, andsqj
sa.d meekly :: ‘What shali I pay you?’
‘Well,’ said my good parishioner, T
generally charge twenty-five cents a
gallon, but aee-iug as how you have
been kind to me iu trouble, etc.’ I
won’t charge you but twenty cents.’
At this time I had eleven children and
was living on a salary of six hundred
per year.’
