THE TRAVELLERS.
By the Aut/wr of KtawooJ.
Tho Idoa on which iho atory is built, is very
happily comxivod, easily uniting die imerest
of fictitious narrative with the description of.
real places and the memory of actual oven^j
A family is represented as ni ikiiq; “ihe gran a
tour of Niagara, ihe Lakn, Montreul, Quebec,
dec.” This 'affords an opportunity for des
cribing places and local habits, which lias In-. u
just sufficiently used. Some bcauiiful, though
short description of a na ornl scenery occur,
and a few romantic events; uod a great m my
moral reflections drop from the mouth ofind
mother fot the instruction of her children. Up
on the whole, it is a pleasant book—We will
just remark in passing, that tho author has some
time forgotten to keep hersolfdowu (o ihe lev
el of young people, and writes in an elevated
and poetical stram-—which belongs to the ruu-
dor 10 appreciate.
“A commandant of the fort (which was built'
by tho French to protect their traders against
the savages) married a young Iroquois who
was before or after the marriage convened to
the-Catholic faith.—She was the daughter of
a chieftain of her tribe, and great efforts were
made by her people to induce her to roiuro to
them. Her brother lurked in the neighbor
hood, and procured interviews with her; and
attempted to win her back by all the motives of
national pride and family affection; but all in
vain. The young Gnranga, or to call her,by
her baptisraul name, Marguerite, was bound by
a threefold, cord—her love to her husband, io
her son, and to her religion. Mecumeh find
ing persuasion ineffectual, had recourse to strat
agem. The commandant was in ihe habit of
going down the river on fishing excursions, and
when he returned, he would fire hts signal gnu,
and Marguerite and her boy would hasten to

ho had been gone longer
lian usual. Marguerite was filled with appro,
ensions, natural enough at atimo whan emini-
eut danger and huir breadih escapes were of
very uay occurrence. She had sat in the
uwerand watched lor the returning canoe till
he last beam of day had faded fiom ihe waters;
he deepening shadows'of wilighi played tricks
with her imagination. On^e she was startled
by the waier-lowl, which as il skimmed along .
ihe suilace of the water, imagined to her fancy
the light canoe impelled by her Susbaud’s vig
orous arm—again she heard the leap of the
heavy muskulongi, and the splashing water
sounded to her fancy like the fiist splash of the
oar. That passed away, and disappointment
and tears ibliowed. Her hoy was beside her,
daring deeds. Burn and bred in a fort, ha' was
an adept iu the use of the bow aud ofthe mus
ket, courage seemed to be his instinct, and
dauger bis element—and battles and wounds
were “household words” with him. He laugh-
cd at'his moilier’ii fears, but in spite of his boy
ish ridicule, they strengthened, till apprehen
sion seemed reality. Suddenly tho sound of
the signal gun broke upon tho stillness of the
night. Uotn moiliur and son sprang upon their
feet wall a cry of joy, and were pressing hand
in hand towards ihe outer gate, when a senti
nel stuppeu them to remind Marguerite it was
her husuand’s order that no one should venture
wnhuui tho walls after .sunset. She, however,
lusisted on passing, and lolling the soldier that
she would auswer lb the cuinniuudant for his .
breach ol orders—she passed the outer barrier.
Young Louis held up his bow and arrow before
lira sentinel saying gaily, “I am my mother’*
body guard you know.” Tradition ba* pre
served these sinktug circumstances, as tho e-
veins rli.it followed reuderud them memorable.
’The distauco,’ continued the stranger;‘from
the fort to the place where the commandant
moored hts canoe was trifling, and quickly
passed. Marguerite and Louts flew along the
foot path, reached the shore «nd ware in the
arms of——Mecumeh and his fierce com
panions. Emrea ie* and resistance were ofiko
vain. Resistance was made, with e manly
spirit, by youug Louis who drew a knife from
thegir ole of one of tffe Indians, and attempted
to plunge it in the bosom of Mecumeh, who
was roughly bmding his wampum belt over
Marguerite’s raouih, to deafen the sound of her
screams. The uncle wrested the knife from
him, and smiled proudly ou him, as if ho re.
cognised in rite brave toy a scion from his own.
stock.
'Lite Indians had two canoes, Marguerite
was conveyed to one, Louis to the other—and
both canoes were rowed into the OswegpScii o,
and up the stream as fust as it \va3 possible u>
impel them against the current of therivor.
‘Not a word nor cry escaped the boy; ho
seemed intent on some purpose, and when (he
canoe approached near the shore, he took off u
military cap, ho wore, and threw it so sktHlullyf 1
that it lodged where ho meant it should, ou thm

should return and remove tlie cup;, but after a,
moment, they again dashed their oars iVi diva

may suppose, had no mind to eat; but Long.,
