THE INDIAirS REVENGE.
AN INCIDENT OF MISSOUEL
BY ANNE R. WHITE.
The lofty oaks swayed in the fierce
West wind like reeds, while their
moss-grown branches cracked and
snapped, with the tempest's might.
The birds flew round in circles, be
wildered and tempest driven, while
bo living tliiug else was visible in the
wild fbrest around. Just ahead was
a little clear, where a log house
showed its rough gray sides, the only
token of human skill or human life
the lonely spot held. From its rude
chimney, - ' built of clay and sticks,
thrown up against the north side of
the rude cabin, the smoke poured
forth iu fitful puffs, us if it shared the
general tumult.
Within its walls was warmth and
cheer. A hardy old backwoodsman,
o’er whose sturdy shoulders the gtay
hair hung iu a mass, was jiolisbing a
rifle whose barrel shone like silver,
while a young girl sat near the bla
zing fireplace, dreamily watching him
and now and again casting a longing
look towards the door.
“ Father, thejmys will say jour
rifle is rather too bright to have seen
much service,” she ventured, with a
sly laugh at the old uiau’s rising
color.
“ And there’s not one ’o them but
knows 1 can use it,” he replied, start
ing up, as a loud tap sounded on the
stout oaken door.
“ If ye arc friends, enter!"
The door was pushed open, and a
young Indian of remarkable presence
entered, who crossed the cabin with
haughty tread, and placed his gun
upright in a corner, as he threw him
self iqmii a pile of skins which lay
ncar by.
“The night has fallen; the storm
has driven the birds to their nets;
darkness and danger are abroad," he
said, in clear, low tones, as he turned
his stern, dark eyes «po» the young
girl with a meaning glance. She had
sprung up at his entrance, and was at
the foot of the rough stops which led
to the low loft above, hut the chiefs
words drew her back to her father’s
side.
“I know it, and the signs point
stiong for an awful rough day fol
lowing this night’s work,” and the
tra|i|ier shook his head anxiously as
lie looked at his daughter.
The Indian’s gaze, too, rested on
her pale features, and us the firelight
shone on his proud supple figure and
handsome face, it was lit by an ex
pression one might fancy portended
revengeful satisfaction, h#t for a mo
ment only. It faded away, and left
a shade of scornful sadness on the
fine, olive-tinted features.
“ I wish I knew where the boys
were. They surely would not try to
ford the river in Inis storm. They
know it’s a mighty treacherous and
uncertain stream.”
“ Oh, father, is there danger ? Why
the river where they arc camped is
but a thread ; and once over on this
shore they could not lose their way,”
Janet rcsiKindcd eagerly.
“ The waters are giants; the
strength ofthe young warriors would
be as the doe when the hunter is upon
her.”
“Cheer up, Janet girl,” said the
bluff old man. Henry and Tom arc
not babes. They have seen worso
storms than this; ay, and fought
them too.”
Not a word further escaped the lips
of Janet Turner. Whatever her
heart felt of dread and anxiety for
the absent, or impaticuee at the
presence 4>f Abe red man, she showed
it not- She was proud as the Indian
iliimself; and would not have him read
her thoughts, and deem her full of
boyish fancies.
Her father retunned to his rifle in
gloomy silence, while the Indian rose,
and approached Janet.
“The I>ovc likes not to hear the
tongue of her red brother plead with
her. ner heart is as the icc on the
river's bosom. The horns of the deer
hang up in the wigwam, but he goes
no more to the chase. His heart's
heavy, for the Deve flutters aw»y.”
“ Letaki knows the Dove loves him
not. Her heart has gone forth ta
another,” Janet murmured, as her
head drooped low over her work.
The old trapper *as oblivious of
anything passing, aa having finished
bis task, he walked back and forth
through the apartment, pansing now
and then to brighten up the logs
which glowed rnddily- on the hearth,
sending a sudden shower of sparks
into the room, which fell and turned
black where they lay.
Janet started up in eager haste, aa
she heard the sharp hoofs of an ap
proaching horse, and long ere the
echo of his steps had ceased, she had
flung * the door open, and stood
trembling with anticipation on the
threshold.
A dismounted, and the
light from the cabin played over bis
drenched figure, as he asked permis
sion to enter.
“ Ofetne In, and welcome. Old Js.
mie Turner would turn no man away
in such a storm as this. Tie your
horse under yonder shed. ’Tis a
sore night for the poor beast, but we
have no better quarters for him,
and he’ll be out of the driving
rain.”
The new comer was a man about
fifty—a stranger in those parts. He
looked careworn,"aud bore marks of
toil.
“ Come, girl, let’s see what wc can
find iu our hut for suppersaid her
old falhcr.
sprang blithely up, forget
ting for the nonce her disappoint
ment that the new arrival had proved
a stranger. Soon the yellow corn
cake steamed on the table, and the
rashers of bacon, flanked by the yel
low eggs, followed. As they gath
ered around the homely fare, the
stranger, under the genial influence of
a warm welcome, and the fragrant tea,
grew quite sociable. He told them
lie was from th»|jast. His name be
gave as Eden.
I lost my road, and but for your
friendly light, might have made a re
past for the wolves, or a target for
the red skins before morning. I
have come to these wilds to look for
a brother, who was always of a roam
ing turn. 11m got the Western fever
when a boy, and we've never seen him
since, though we heard through some
trappers, who took a trip down to
New York, Hint he was in high favoi
with the Indians—ha 1 married a
young squaw—Orramel, they called
her—one of the Cliippewns.
Letaki turned his gaze upon the
tqicakcr. An Indian never allows his
feelings to lie reflected in his face,
which is as impassable as marble.
“ The pale-face would know of Or
~amel and her chief f ”
“ Yes; can you tell mo anything
about her ?”
“ Orramel sleeps with her fathers.
The pale-faced chief who bore tier to
his wigwam, west to the happy bunt
ing grounds many moons’ since. Or
ratnel, the pride of the forest, lies
beside him. She was my mother.”
“ Then you are my nephew, and an
Indian I” he added, in tones in which
pleasure and disap|iointment strug
gled for the supremacy.
The fire flashed in Letaki’s eyes f
as he drew up his form in haughty
anger.
“ The white mm despise* that race
which once was mere than the stars
in the sky; its chiefs hare hunted
the elk and the deer for ages in these
forests, ere the white man came with
poisored breath to wither his red
brother! The Indian asks only to
dwell where his fathers went to the
chase, and when his eye gets dim,
and his arm weak, be will fade
away like the Autumn leaf, and fall
alone!"
Like a king he stood there, with
his lofty bearing, his head thrown
back, and the expression of outraged
pride shining through his features.
So felt Mr. Eden, who advancod to
wards him, saying: “You arc right.
I am proud of you, let us be friends.”
Letaki waved bis extended band
aside with gentle dignity, as he an
swered : “It isl well so.”
The wind suddenly reused round,
and with » fearless shriek died away
in the paths of that dim forest. With
a shook, a sound human wee was
; mingled; a sora« rtttto hMßgbt all
' to their feet, m weeder, aeve toe In
! dian, who, with the stolidity es his
race, remained silent and unmoved.
I *‘ Father, it is Henry’s xoiee! The
boys are in danger!” cried the fright-
ened girl, as toe attempted to rash
from the cabin.
The old father said nothing, bnt
quickly fastening on a hunting knife,
and grasping his trusty rifle, he
plunged into the woods, followed by
the Indian and the stranger. The
darkness was intense, but their
knowledge of wood-craft stood them
in ptaoe of light. They followed the
river bank until they came to where
the camp of the hunters should be on
the opposite shire. They knew the
bail came from Stem—the brother and
lover of this fair young girl, who a
lone in the log-house, listened with
beating heart for a sound *ts tell tier
whence came the danger which meu
need her deansues. Her foul thrill
ed with terror, as she listened to
catch some fleeting noise, for the
wind bad died away with that
mighty crash, and all Nature was as
still as a Summer’s day.
The three men hurried on ; paths
there were none, save such as these
hardy woodmen made for themselves,
beating down the bfolfcSk branches,
while the pools of water made the
earth slippery and insecure.
As they came upon the hank, they
saw two figures struggling in the
swollen current, while their horses
were last borne down the stream,
which dashed them hither and thither
on to the great river beyond. Death
stared the struggling men in the face,
for the little tributary which a lioy
could wade across in pleasant weath
er, had become a might} - torrent, and
they were exhausted by their efforts
and were sinking.
A host of emotions swept through
the young chiefs houl at the view.
His white rival was drowning. Khould
he try to resecuc him, or should lie
let him perish, Perhaps, were the
white bravo gone the Dove would
smile on him. A storm of passion
raged in the breast this wild son
of nature, lie made no pretense to
goodness ; undisciplined, the revenge
ful instincts of the savage breast were
all awake.
But n short time only. Nobler im
pulses triumphed. Springing into
the turbid waters, with strength born
only of free, wild life, he fought the
current, and pushed on to where the
worn men feebly sought to keep their
.heads above it. X'ot too soon; for
they had ceased too strive, and were
yielding to the cruel waves. He
seized one by the hair, and snatching
the licit from his waist, made a Insso,
which lie flung over the shoulders of
the other. The stranger and old Jantic
had found an ohl dug-out, which they
shoved overboard, and paddled with
superhuman strength against the tide,
to where the three men were. They
were iiel|ied in, and then they put for
shore.
Tom and Henry were loud in their
grateful thanks for Letaki’s aid, while
Mr. Eden could not praise this hero
ism enough. As they turned to retrace
their steps to the cabins, the chief
stood motionless.
“ Letaki cares not to go to the
tent of the white man. He will go
far away and hunt the buffalo.”
But you will gojback with us now,’
protested the young men. “Come
and smoke the pipe of friendship with
us.”
“The red man’s heart feels warm
towards you, but his steps go not that
way again.”
“Cstnc witli me then to the great
cities of the East. Come and share
my home,” implored the stranger.
A faint smile stole over his face,
but he shook his head in denial.
“Letaki cannot forsake the tents of
his tribe. lie will go back to them.
The white man will see him no
more.”
Vainly they urged him. None save
the old trapper knew that lie would
not go back, to see the Dove the
bride of another. So he entreated
him not, bat held his hand in one
prolonged iron grasp, and turned
away.
gMr. Eden was especially grieved.
He had come to the West to find some
.traces of his brother, only to learn ibe
was dead, and his child was an alien
to ties of blood; caring nought for
kirn, but refbsing to go to hia
home, to share his love. The other
knew it was useless to seek to shake
his resolve, so they uttered no words,
save of farewell.
Sadly they looked after him, as 1
they moved onward. A moment he
stood, and then bounded away into
the forest They never saw him
more.
Come to He, Darling.
BY FRANCIS 8. SMITH.
When the ml sun in Iho clear west is
glowing,
And the soft wind from tlic sweet south is
blowing.
When the day's trials are no longer near
me—
Come to me, darling, to sootho and to
cheer mo 1
Thou art the sun that dispels my sad
hours—
Sweeter thy breath than the odor of flow
ers—
Only thy smile enn my somber life brighten,
Come to me, skirling, my sad heart to
lighten!
Yon. when life's bitterness caused Ine to
languish,
Knee like a star on the night of my an
guish ;
Nothing in life like thy dear presence
blesses—
Come to me, durliug, and meet my caress
es!
Come joy or sorrow I’ll part from thee
never—
Close to iry tsworn I'll preess thee forev
er—
My heart is Jove's fountain laid before
tlicc—
Come lo me, darling, and let it flow o'er
thee.
Take It to Your Homes.

to convey information, and moral
truths and sentiments, in form of

a degree, that papers filled with sen
sational novels and exciting, trashy
stuff, have a wide circulation. To
tors tall tills taste, and supply some
thing better to the masses, the Pub

The Second Adventists are at it

the time for the total destruction of

1873.
Dr. Barbour who has prepared sev
eral charts from which he has
lectured extensively of late, at Boston
and Rochester, on the coming of
Christ in 1873, made a speech on
signs of the times, and cited articles
in the London Quarterly, the Edin

he said, 500,000 members in this
country and millions in Europe.
Wendell Phillips was a member, and
said in bis recent lecture in Music
Hall, Boston, that “Europe rested on
