She might have been called vain—but
slightly so: for, indeed, she was a lovely
girl, nnd ’he pride of her native village.
She was possessed of many refined ac
complishments—around her twined all
the graces of form, blended with elegance
and urbanity of manners, and in the line
aments of her face, shone Iteauly, cins
tened by the modesty of her conversation,
and the courtesy of her demeanor. The
youth of the village bowed in flattering
submission to the shrine of her beautv; Ai
strangers, who visited the village dtirfng
the summer months, paid their transient
or passiiiff tribute lo her superiority. Rut
were there none to whom she had given
preference among so many? Were there
none worthy? Reuben Everton was con
have thought it? He was a droll uncouth
genius; heavy, and sloth till in appear
ance, with little ease of softness in his
manner, little influence by education had
beon attained over the natural qualities of
his mind—which, notwithstanding, was
none of (lie worst. It was ever finn and
undeviating in its purpose, and always ac
ted upon an honorable and unprejudiced
principle. Ella and Reuben were play
mates from their infancy. They Intel for
gotten the time, when they used to range
the hills together, and pluck the flowers
before the dew drop v.xts shaken front
their beads. Ella hud been addressed by
many a more eloquent tongue, and many
a more courteous hand had been proflVr
cd, but they were unheeded.—She loved
Reuben for his undaunted behavior on
many occasions—for the daring feats
which he performed lor her on the bills,
in gathering the flowers which were in
the most perilous situations, and in which
most dang T was risked in procuring.—
He was never known to act impetuously,
or upon the impulse of passion.
About this time, a stranger arrived at
the village—announced himself as Mr.
George Maltavin. He appeared to be
middle-aged—lit!!, and rather least—u
dark nnd sallow expression of counten
ance, which, to an experienced eye, deno
ted something more than his natural look
—it was lowering—a keen dark eye, hid
partially by long and heavy brows, con
tracted— pi sentitig, at times, a dark nnd
savage appearance. In a short time be
was introduced intif several famtlies,a
tnong whom vt’as that of Elhvs. lie al
most involuntarily conceived a passion for
lief—and after a short, but formal couit
sbip, proltcivd his hand Which was reject
ed.—Ella could never bear him? he be
came her daily dread. When lie would
approach iter, however kindly, site felt a
thrill of horror shoot across her frame, hi r
father insisted upon her accepting hts
hand, while her mother stood firmly in
opposition. Jirr father urged Iter to for
get Everton, who was then upon the
mount inns in a lengthy chase with sever
al of his village comrades. To him, time
aftertime, a secret foreboding preyed up
on hi» mind, and sickenedjvt bis heart, —
secined-to call him home; nnd so deeply
did it work upon bis imagination, and pic
ture some evil impending, that lie became
daily more and more restless One
night, as lie lay upon tin* cold earth, re
posing from the ihiv’s toils, the restless
spirit of his dreams soared back to bis da
tive spot—he scented ns if he wits reclin
ing beneath a large spreading water-oak.
that stood at tbe end of the grove which
run southwardly from the village, when a
'female figure approached hint,and l»y ges
ticulations, sighs, &c. intimated flint rite
was in distrers. For three successive
nights did this appaiition disturhlhe wea
ry shimlHTs of Reuben, nnd on tlie third
night she appeared pale nnd wttn—when
bun Itoihm s-piilchralAinto,„bemuttered,
;'‘lb maitx and on the third mght, Kil t
: will be no morel”
Quick as thought, Reuben was u|kiii
uis feci—“hat!” he exclaimed, “is this
reality or am 1 dtentunjg?” He looked
anxiously around, but all was still. Reu
ben awoke none <.r his companions till
mounting, when he told them that busi
ness of importance culled him home im
mediately, nnd that at some 'future time,
lie would relieve any anxiety which his
sudden departure might cause to arise—
and was, reluctantly, admitted to depart.
f"t’ h made them lonely to lose one so val
uable from he chase.
It wtts early when Reuben starts and the
words of the apparition still rang heavy
m his cars—“ Three day s, and Elia will
be no more!” If vyas tim e day’s hard
travelling to fctidt home, hy thortearest
mute, which was not tu cqsslLle by horse.
He strained every nerve—forward he
pressed, night and day, and on the even
ing of the third, he stood upon a high hill,
winch overlooked the village. It was a
lull to ths summit of which, Ella and him
self had often walked, to enjoy the morn
ing breeze—and he wished her oven now
by his side, that lie might pour into her
listening and attentive car, the many in
cidents relative to the chase. At this in
stant he was startled by the sound of voi
ces. On turning round he beheld the
stranger who had but lately arrived, en
gaged in close with a short,
stout, swarthy looking man, whose coun
tenance vied in its savage appearance with
that of bis complexion.—Reuben evaded
tin in, and unobserved, caught the conclu
sion of their discourse.—
“1 will hazard my men upon no other
conditions,” said the little man, who was
not observed till then, by Everton, to bear
arms: “At twelve, we’ll meet you at the
large oak at tlie end of the grove—cdnvev
Iter thither and she will he safe—other
wise, sir, the compact will he withdrawn.”
The stranger, after a short pause, in
which lie seemed deeply meditating, tnt
svvered—“Well, at twelve, all shall be
readv.—But, in case I fail!”
“Heath!—il’i ver these eves rest upon
you!” was-the stern replv, as the 1 parted
—the one was soon lost in the woods,
while the stranger bent bis Course rapidly
tov. arils the village, closely loHmved bv
Reuben, whose feelings ami iwaginut ous
are not easily to be described. Tic fe
male figure in the vision under tlie spread
ing oak, flashed across Ihs mind, “What
can it incan?” he wlii-sne-red «n. „
in |sa3Ken tne spot all looked natural—
“ Gan it be that Eila has proved untrue?—
If so. she may learn her fate, ur.d then re
pent.—No!—l will rescue her, or-any oth
er female, who shall call upon Reuben
Everton for assistance!” And while he
stood ruminating, the stranger disappear
ed, be knew not whither. At that instant,
tlie Church hell struck heavily upon tin*
ear—home lie hurried.—Night was just
spreading her deepest veil, vv lien lie rea
ched it—lie entered in haste, aud to the
surprise of all. They were joyed to see
him, but each stood fixed, looking upon
each other with fearful anxiety What?”
he exclaimed as he looked anxiously «-
round, “can none of yon speak?—Am I
not welcome to-inv home again?”
“Yes, Reuben, yes,” answered bis mo-,
thor with emotion, “but what brongh!
you home so sudden?—W hery are your
companions?”
“On the mountains, well, when I left
them What is it that r rets your atten
tion on each other so—what is the matter?
—Any deaths or ill news—let me have it,
for I utn weary from excessive exertion.
Three days since, the sun rose on me, i
while standing upon Bet 1 tub’s peak—to- ;
day, it left nte upon lbleq hill.— Is Elia
well!” I
No answer was tnacfe to the enquiry—
lie sprung up—“ Why do you weep?—i
What of her—-speak?”
Again the Church hell tolled 1 cavilv—'
tears afresh gushed fortlv—“Will none of
ye speak to me?” l.ejcried “will none of
vein pity ease my ttchifig heart, tie it
shall .set my frenzied brain on fire?—
Speak, I say, and tell me, good or ill, i
what relates to her?”
“ This night,” said his mother, struir- !
sling ti* compose herself, “she becomes j
the bride ” j
“Os whom?”
“The stranger, JTaltavin!"
“No! by heavens! not while tilt; ai,n dfc
heart of Reuben Everton has strength and
courage,,’ he exclaimed, and deliberately
advancing towards his ntle, muttered,
“I’ll meet the villain ere it’s twelve to-;
night!” then started for the door.- -They,
however, succeeded in wresting the fifle
from his grasp—but he smiled grimly up
on them, as he sain, drawing forth his
huntiiii! knife at the same instant, “then
this shall answer quite as good a purpose!”
And bounding with a-tiger’s rage, he soon
was lost sight of. Pursuit were vain—
dor he was swift usthe wingi and arrow. He
bent his course to the Church, for thither
he knew they would repair.
The parties had assembled early.—El
la was rind in a long, black robe—unusu
al at such a place, and particularly on
such an occasion: but she had it made ex
pressly—for she said, “1 am going near- J
er to my grove than my earthly happi
ness.” Her features were pale and death
like—her eyes wore upon of thah angelic
sweetness, w(licit was always ciiaracici'i*-
tir. She looked more like a statue than
a living object—she- showed no signs of

The Huron Country. —This is south
anil southwest of Take .Superior, west of
Lake Michigan, north oi Illinois umieust
of the Mississippi, ity the late treaties
with certain Indian tubes, the Indian ti- J
tic to 3,000,000 arcres of land situate with
in this territory Las been extumu shed.—
The great lead mines are on the south
part. These mines have, been worked
only about tlnee years, by comparatively
few persons, under every possilile disad
vantage, nail almost thirty millions of
pounds of lead have been made there.—
The mineral used by miners is a sulpjm
ret of lead yielding tiom 50 to b 7 percent,
of pure lead. It is found in veins im’a
lialdy i..lining fiom north to south, or
from east to west. There is one vein
twenty rods long and sixty feet wide, and
extending downwards to an uuknown
depth, which is tilled with ore that
nearly pure lead.
The lead ore occupies about one hun
dred mrfessquare of surliice, except about
twenty miles by lour or five of copper ore,
included within the aforesaid one hun
dred miles square. Thirty millions of
pounds of lead have Lieen made in the
mineral rcg.on, and not more than one
mile square of surface has been opened
-for ore. Without opening one new mine,
50,000,000 lbs. .more of lead might In
made ‘here.
The country, now ours, by the late
treaties, will former afford lead enough
for this nation, at ns low a rate as can be
desired.
A strip of land, 20 miles, in which
Mineral Point is situated,is filled with n.
