an Indian scout, and carried to Canada. When he
arrived at the principal settlement of the tribe on
the southern border of the ST. Lawrence was pro.
posed by some of the captors that he should be put
to death. During the consultation, an old Indian
woman demanded that he should be given up to her,
that she might adopt him in the place of her son,
whom she had lost in the war. He was accordingly
given to her and lived through the succeeding win
ter in her family; experiencing the customary
effects of savage hospitality. The following sum-
mer, as he at work in the forest alone, an un-
known Indian came up to him, and asked him to
meet him at place which he pointed out, upon a
given day. The prisoner agreed to the proposal
but not without some approximations that mischief
was intended him. During the interval, these ap-
prehensions increased to such degree, as to dis.
suade him, effectually from fulfilling his engage.

again; and very gravely reproved him for his nor
performing his promise. The man apologized
awkwardly enough, but in the bes manner in his
power. The Indian told him that he should be
satisfied if he would meet Rim at the same place
on future day; which he named. The man
promised TO meet him, and fulfilled his premise.
When he arrived at the spot, he found the Indian
provided with two muskets; ammunition for them,
and two knapsacks The Indian ordered him to
take one of each, and follow him The direction of
their march was to the south. The man followed,
without the least knowledge of what he was to do,
or whittier he going; but concluded, that il the
Indian intended him harm, he would have dispatch

was as safe where he was, as he could be in any
other place. Within short time, therefore, his
fears subsidized although the Indian observed pro.

EPITAPH ON AN UNFORTUNATE LADY.

lingering struggle Of misfortune past,
Here patient yrtuefound repose at last;
Unpraised, unknown, with cheerful step she strayed
Through lfes bleak wds and fortunes darkest shade
Nor courted fame to lend one friendly ray,
To gild the darkening horrors of the way.
When fired with hope, or eager for applause,
The hero suffers in public cause,
Unfelt, UNDECIDED, falls misortune's dart,
And flames sweet echoes cheer the dropping heart
The Patriots tolls immortal laurels yield,
And death itself is enyied in the field.
Hers the humber, yet severer fate,
To pine unnoticed in private state;
Hers were the sufferings which no Iaurels bring,
The generous labors which no muses. sing,
The cares that haunt the Parent and the Wife,
Andt the still sorrows Of domestic life.
What though no pageant DER her humble earth,
Proclaim the empty honors of her birth1
What though around no sculptured columns rise,
No verse records the conquests of her eyes?
Yet here shall flow the Poor's unbidden tear,
And feeble age shall shed his blessings here.
Here shall the virtues which her soul possessed,
With sweet remembrance soethe husbands breast:
And here in silent grief, shall oft repair
The helpless objects of her latest care,
Recall her worth, their adverse fate bemoan,
And in Mothers woes forget their own.

INDIAN GRATITUDE.

Not many years after the county Of Litch6eld,
Comm began to be settled by the English, strange
Indian came one day into an inn in the town of
Litchfied, in the dusk of evening, and requested
the hostess to furnish him with some drink and
a supper at the same time, he observed that he
could pay for neither, as he had no success 10 hun
ting, but promised payment as he should
meet with better fortune.--The hostess refused
him both the drink and the supper, called him a
lazy, good for nothing fellow, and told him that
she did not work so hard herself TO throw away her
earnings upon such creatures as he was. A man
who sat by, and observed that the Indian, then tur-
ming about to leave SO inhospitabe place. showed by
his countenance that he suffering very severely
from want end wearinees, directed the hostess TO
supply him with what he wished, s. engaged to
pay the bill himself.-She did When the In

factor, thanked him, and assured him that he should
remember his kindness, and, whenever he was able
would faithfully recompense it. For the present.
he observed, he could only reward him with sto-
ry. which if the hostess would give him leave, he
wished to tell. The hostess, whose complacency
had been recalled bv the prospect of payment con-
scented The Indian, addressing himself to his be.

hundreds and hundreds of children and youth,
and others, collected to listen TO the words of love
and wisdom that fell from his lips, were these go-
lrous words first proclaimed" From this happy
he proceeded to unfold to his inter-
estng young audience, the infinite importance of
an early attention to the precepts and doctrines Of
that Saviour, whose title and character they had
seen thus set forth; and concluded with solemn
and general expostulation to all, of all ages and
characters, assembled around him. hymn was
then sung by the audience and the meeting closed.
