TxzE REPOSITORY.
FROM THE PORT FOLIO.
THE INDIAN BOY.
CONCLUDED.

The next morning found our travellers at Sack
ett's Harbour; the steam boat was lying at the
wharf, and as she was to remain an hour or two,
the passengers went ashore to look about them
Our gallant Engshman, of course, attended the
ladies in their visit to the garrison, and the
nous ship destined one day Or another to thunder
the voice of havock the peaceful waters of the
lale-but now harmlessly reposing on the Stocks
object of curiosity to the idle traveller.-Dur-
ing all this time his arm was devoted to the sup
port of the fair vocalist and he strobe proudly for
ward his faithful satellite, the little Indian follow
ing hard at his heels. This whimsical unit of train
at length striking gallant being rather ridicu
lous he motioned the boy back but the little fell
low again in sulky, scowling mood, and did
not choose to understands So finding it to be in vain
to shake off his annoying little henchman, he
fam to let the urchin follow his own fancy.
On returning again to the steamboat, our Eng
lishman was not little astounded at being accosted
by sturdy looking farmer, who demanded his
daughter from him in voice choaking with rage.
It was easy for calm observer to that the good
natured Englishman totally innocent Of the abb
duction charged upon him but the bereaved
father was not calm,-and the vessel got under way
in the midst of his invectves. Nor was it until they
had cleared the harbor and the islands at the en-
trance, and had advanced far into the open waters
of the lake, that the poor man became pacied I'M
der the conviction that he was indeed mistaken
"What then had become of his child ;" and the I'M
fortunate fathers mind was bewldered in vain
lectures. He could not be mistaken in the identity
of the Englishman-assuredly, he was the same
stranger who had lately passed some weeks in the
pretty little village, at the outlet of small lake,
which formed the western boundary of his farm -
he had met him an hundred times as he rambied
about the woods with his gun, and had seen him
angling for hours in the shade Of the huge naples

Sunday, had made his pretty little Dorothy's eyes
dance and sparkle like fre-fies in the summer twi-
light, and with whom she boosted of dancing, as
surely as the night came round on which the village
dancing master held his public. And he was as as
suredly pretty Dorothys sweetheart too, for had he
not himself watched him by the bright light of the
harvest moon, gently row his light canoe right OPP
posite his own dwelling, and there lnger till mid
night more, playing on his flute with nothing to
keep company with him but the frogs and the
whip poor-wills9 Our Englshman confessed to all
this but without having any particular design up
on pretty Dorothy Pierson. He man of lei
sure, and could afford to while away a few weeks
in rural amusements ;-he had fingered at the vii
lage of -, because he liked its situation, and
its envrons promised to afford him ample sport in
shooting and fishing he had attended the dane
ing masters weekly balls because he very fond
of dancing, and enjoyed extremely little Irritation
with the rustic bellies who usually attended to be
sure, the sweet little Dorothy Pierson, with her dim
pied smiles, the prettest of these and with
her of course he danced the oftenest, but of any
thing farther he thought not He had also rowed
about the lake by moonlight, and had by moonlight
PLAYED on the flute but he denied the particularly
of his serenade-and babe the father recollect that
the tiny lakelet being nearly circular in its shape,
and he in its centre, the gaantry of the thing might
have applied equally to all the fair dwellers its
margin. All this might be So the parent admitted,
but it very strange-Dorothy had confessed to
one of her young companions passion for the
handsome stranger, and had avowed to her an III
tenton of following him, when he left the neigh
borhood to pursue his route to Niagara Some girl
sh offence, taken at the circumstances Of her prtl-
dent friend, had prevented her from telling more
but he had traced her on board canal packet for
Rochester, and from the time of her absence he had
thought it safest to proceed directly north to Sack
etts Harbour, and thus intercept her in her flight.
For, as the Enghshman's purpose was well known,
of proceeding down the Lake and the ST Lawrence
to Montreal, he did not doubt that with him he
should find his poor infatuated child
There few who did not sympathize with
the distressed parent, but alas for the utter selfish
of human nature the fathers grief was soon
forgotten in individual suffering,-for the gale was
up and the CLASSY lake was now brokennto waves.
And there they were on the broad Ontario-their
steady vessel pursuing unaterably her majestic
march over the bounding waves-and the breeze
was bland and fair-and the radiant sunbeams spar
killed. on the blue burrows of the deep. These things
were all so,-but reckless of all the splendid cir
cumstances Of the scene, the voyagers were for the
most part pale and fainting victims Of sea-sickness.
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-04-02

The ladies did not leave their births and even
the poor little Indian remained during all those
weary hours in the spot where he had passed the
night completely enveloped in the rug with his
head resting on his patrons vaise. The English
man, who accustomed to the sea, was not
among the sufferers and there was nothing to pre-
vent him from enjoying the passing hour but his
own reflections; these were certainly not exactly
such to increase lis enjoyment, for he possessed
good and feeling heart and the fate of little Doro
thy Pierson, and the grief of her honest father,
touched him with some conjunction. Here
gentle loving girl led away by his unmeaning gallan
tries, wanderer among strangers, exposed proba-
bly, to rudeness, and hardship, and contemplated
worthy and once happy parent overwhelmed with
shame and grief at his daughters flight, and dis
tracted with apprehensions for her fate. This day
he also passed the hours in perambulating the deck,
but oh how different were his feelings The
poor father sat at the bow of the vessel looking in
tently the waves that dashed against her side,
and every and then brushing hastily away the
tear that gathered in his eye.
So passed the hours until the setting sun bur-
nished the broad expanse of the lake. The wild
ing toward the thousand islands that crowd the
entrance Of the ST. Lawrence, and the calm that en-
sued seemed like the footstep of spirit over the
bosom of the waters. The poor suffering voyagers
now found their death-like sickness cease and
they gladly left their cabins to nhale the pure air.
and drink in fresh spirits and enjoyment from the
noble view on deck.
The river was divided into maze intricate be-
yond conception, by those myriads of islands-so
wild and savage-that reared their fractured ruins
of granite rock, thinly clothed with few trees and
shrubs, above the unruffied and exquistely limpid
water. No human habitation appeared, to break
the spell of solitude and silence amid this eternal
desoation They were alore in this vast waste
on every hand there was still the sparkling water
and the clustering slands-and as they continued
onward, the opening prospect still disclosed island
beyond island, in interminable succession.
The long twilight expended while yet the
vessel was pursuing her lonely course through this
liquid labyrinth, and the cautious Captain judgedit
expedient to delay his voyage until the rising of the
moon should afford him sufficient light for this diff
cult navigation.
After the supper, which had served to beguile
some time, whilst they were lying thus idly at ana
Choir, the passengers were inhaling the night
breeze on deck, bright light was observed on one
of the more distant isles which threw slender
shaft of fire adown the vista of islands in 'front.'
This the Captain explained to be the beacon light
