‘And is there no hope?’ lie shud
dered as if in despair.
‘There is every hope in keeping our
voluntary vows, but- none it: their viola
tion,’ was the firm response.
As she spoke, a rustling was beard in
the leafv undergrowth behind them, and
a strange Indian, emerging from its cov
er, presenting the young man a letter in
stantly disappeared. George tore otl
the envelope, and, glancing at the con
tents, gave a shout of joy.
‘ Here, Dahlia, is my l’cense; the
judge says he is satisfied with my last
examination : it must be the work of
your affectionate father.’
She cast herself into his arms, sob
bing as if her heart would break in its
wild paroxysm of love and pleasure.
* Let us hasten home and be wedded
at once,’ the young man suggested fond
ly.
She drew back, and gazing into his
eyes, as if she would search out the dark
est secrets in the abyss of his soul, gasp
ed, ill rough her tears ?
‘ And will you never grow weary or
ashamed of your dusky Indian wife?—
Shall I always share your moments of
pride as well as your hours of gloom and
sorrow ?’
‘ I swear it by the God that made us
both,’ he exclaimed, fervently: ‘and if I
ever love you less, may that God forget
me in my greatest need !’
‘It is well 1‘ she murmured; ‘for I
could uever bear the semblance of a slight
from yoU !’
At the instant, a small skiff was seen
rapidly descending the river, carrying
three persons visible in the fading light,
and a clear, ringing voice called out:
‘ Dahlia, stay, it is I!’
‘ My father!’ faltered the young girl;
‘ what can have brought you back so
soon ?’
In a minute, the father, brother, and a
stranger in the clerical garb, landed and
saluted the lovers kindly, but with an
aspect of unaccountable melancholy.
‘ What lias liappehed, dear father,
that you return so sad?’ inquired the
tenified maiden kissing the old chiefs
hand.
4 We have a country no more,’ said
the tall, magnificent man, in his cold,
metalic voice, and with feautures rigid
as marble.
‘ Who has dared to sell it ?’ she ejac
ulated fiercely, and her dark eyes flashed
lightning.
‘ 1!’ returned the young hero of a hun
dred battles, with proud impassability ;
‘ I am the glorious traitor!"
‘You!’ she cried, reeling as if tread
ing upon an earth quake.
* Curse me, daughter !’ responded the
chieftain, mournfully, ‘curse me as ten
thousand tongues will curse me to mor
row, though l have sacrificed my life for
them ail. as the only tneaus of salvation.

CHEROKEE STORIES.
TIIK BE AUTIFUL DAHLIA.
Near the close of a charming day, in
the year 1S28, a young Indian girl stood
on the left of the Hiwassec, gazing in-
pure spiritual cast ot countenance,sculp-
Irued as in marble on every feature, made
her rather resemble the chaste luintress
of the Olympian woods, ller dress was
the most costly fabric, though entirely
wtliout ornaments, save one splendid pin
that sparkled in a point of flame over
her bosom; for she was 1 lie only daugh
ter ot the wealthiest chief of the Ghero-
kees, and the sister of the greatest.
For, at that period mentioned, that
pait ofTennessee still remained the prop
erty of the aboi iginal possessors, to whom
it had descended as a free inheritance
from God and nature, through the un
broken succession of ages too distant for
record, or even the dim twinklings of
poetic tradition. But the once wide do
main of the martial Cherokees had been
compressed into a mere span by the in
vasions of ail empire of powerful States
that yet continued to assault it on every
side. There seemed nt> hope for the last
remains of the fading tribe, only a forced
exodus into the milder forests of the
West, there to find a transient home,
and then again to fly at the bidding of
the pitiless persecutors. Thus has it'
been, and will be, with a savage yet no
ble race. As the dew before the sun, as
the mountain snow before tbe singing
rains of summer, they melt and exhale
away at the torturing touch of civiliza
tion, they Hit like fairies from the
moonlight green, to return no more.
Was that the thought which sadden
ed the brow of the beautiful Indian girl
as her dark eyes rested mournfully on
the sparkling river ? Perhaps it might
be a feeling more personal than patriotic:'
suddenly her face kindled with theglow
like the sunset as a light, arrow-swift ca
noe, steered by one youthful rower, shot
out Iron; the other shore. It took but a
minute to cross the stream, as arms of
impetuous haste urged the flashing pad
dle. lie was a handsome man of medi
um siee; some twenty three years of age,
With a rather sallow complexion, an ele
vated intellectual forehead, and eyes of
the blackest light, vivid and piercing,
but tinged with a nameless expression
not altogether pleasing, though no one
could tell why. He wore the richest
clothing with as many jewels as good
taste might possibly allow and his entire
air betokened profound but chastised and
unobtrusive self esteem.
He leaped upon the bank and grasp
ing the tremulous hand of the young
Indian girl, carried it respectfully to his
lips, exclaiming in half feminine tones:
‘ Mv own sweet Dahlia,, forgive me
for being late; I was dying to see you,
but detained by accident.’
With lips of crimson, she murmured :
4 Dearest George.’
Intoxicated with the splendid flame
glowing in her dark eyes, he clasped
her to his bosom and covered the wat-m,
virgin mouth, with rapturous kisses.
She withdrew from the ardent em
brace, more beautiful than eVet ill her
blushes, but said, with the dignity of a
queen:
‘Touch me not again, or I leave you
forever!’
‘ Pardon, divine creature, the uncon
scious imprudence of love,’ he entreated
sadly ; 4 you know how gladly I would
perish sooner than harm you, even in
thought. And I do perish hourly with

replied, ‘and I know there will be noth

he swore he would not. I am afraid lie
will spend all his money for whiskey,
and then we shall have nothing to eat

‘ Where do you live ?’
4 In that alley down there, across the
canal.’
4 What does your father do ?’
‘lie works at laboring work.’
* Have you nothing to eat in the

4 Only one loaf of bread, which was

‘No, no-, for when lie gets drhi.fi lie

4 Don’t he bring all his money home

‘No, no. I wish he did. He used to,
and then we were all happy. Mother
was comfortable, and we always had e-

alii we are miserable.’

4 God bless you, in* little man. I will

He Walked a Way, and there was a tear

It is only two weeks since we had
the gratification of recording’ tho mag
nificent gift nf ¥25,000 to the American
Colonization Society by David Hunt,
I>q., of Mississippi. We have now the
pleasure to announce an additional
splendid donation from the same noble
hearted philanthropist of $20,000, A

by the T reasurer of the Society day be

And so their bridal loVe was piighted
there beneath the purple shadows of the
evening, tinder the darkening leaves of
the forest, by the silver singing ViVer, as
one sweetly tinkling star, the first to
walk otit on the azure battlements of the
western heavens, looked down with its
diamond eye of flame as a celestial wit
ness.
Major Ridge and his son John liuried
otl to the settlement of the Cherokees,
beyond the Mississippi; and in a short
time George, with liis young wife, her
mother, and the family of the junior
chieftain, with several bundled slaves
followed after.
The lawyer and his accomplished
companion made their home on the A-
mericati side of the Cherokee line. Stim
ulated by her energetic and lofty spirit,
he engaged ardently in the practice of
bis profession, achieved fame and riches,
and finally reached the distinguished
honor of Justice on the Supreme bench
of Arkansas; while half a dozen of love
ly children cafoe to make music around
tin ir hearthstone. But after the murder
of Dahlia's kiudred, as will he related in
ahotltcr story, the Judge and his still
beautiflll wife, feeling unsafe as near the
Indian nation, emigrated to the city of
Galveston in Texas.
The once indigent and friendless stu
dent of BIackstone,was now wealthy and
famous with a still more brilliant career
opening in prospect, when in au evil
hour, lie iliade a winter visit to the gay
capital of the South, in attendance on a
lady friend of tho trusting Dahlia, and
with the entile approbation of the lat
ter.
In New Orleans, he met with a very
celebrated belle, from Washington, one
who might boast of crazing more heads
and hearts than any other bewildered
woman s : nce Heleu of classic memory ;
she smiled on the vain Texan Judge,
and he instantly iost his senses. Then
followed interviews, boxes in the theatre,
drafts on the banker, drives by moon
light on the shell road, and endless per
fumery of sigh breathing notes besides I
know not what other forms of folly.
The lady friend of Dahlia said noth
ing, yet managed somehow to get pos
session of the sweet correspondence be
tween the unlawful lovers; and with
this she steamed off to Galveston. The
next day after her arrival, the Judge’s
wife instituted a suit for divorce.
As soon as the false husband heard of
the proceeding he hastened home in an
agony of terror and despair, to heal, if
pessible, the wound he had inflicted ;—
but the indignant woman he had wrong
ed, refused utterly even to see him, and
returned all his letters unejienod.
The day of trial came, the amatory
notes were read to the infinite delight of
the Galveston quidnuncs, the lady friend
testified through her tears, and the di
