Seeing her thus inAexible, the trader informed
her that she might remain there if she pleased, but
that the child should be Immediately sent down the
river to the settlements.
The affectionate mother had thus far sustained
herself during the interview with the hrmness of
conscious virtue, and successfully resisted the i'm
pulse OF her feeling, but nature now yielded, the
tears coursed rapidly over her cheeks, and bowling
her head, she burst into agony of grief, exclaim-
ing, "Why did the Wanconda hate me so much as
to induce me to put my child again into his power"
The feelings of the unhappy mother were, how
ever, soon relieved Mr.. Dougherty communicated
the circumstances of the case to Major O'FalIon,
who Immediately and peremptorily ordered the
toration of the child to its mother and informed the
trader that any further attempt to wrest it from her
should be at his PERIL

The agreement being concluded, the tradermade

he conducted his interesting prize to the house
The ensuing autumn she had the pleasure of see
ing him return, having now conceived for him the
most tender attachment. Upon his visit The follow

born during his absence, and whom she had nursed
with the fondest attention. With the infant in her
arms she daily seated herself on the bank the river,
md followed the downward course of the stream
with her eye, to gain the earliest notice OF his APP

the father greeted son, and obtained his squaw's
eeluctant consent to take their daughter with him
on his return voyage to the country of the white
people. Bat no sooner had he commenced his voy-
age, although she had another charge upon which

oyerpowered her, and she ran crying and screaming
along the river side in pursuit Of the boat, tearing
out her long flowing hair, and appearing to be al
most bereft of reason. On her return home, she
gave away every thing she possessed, cut off her
hair went in deep mourning, and remained incon-
solable. She would often say that she well knew
her daughter would be better treated than she could
be at home, but she could not avoid regarding her

One day in company with SIX other squaws, she

boy being secured to his crad]e-like board, which
she had recned against tree at short distance
They were discovered by a war party of the Sioux,
who rushed towards them with the expectation of
gratifying their vengeance by securing their scalps
An exclamation from her companions directed her
attention to the common enemy, and in her flight,
she fed precpitately but suddenly recolecting her
child, she swiftly returned full in the face of the

Four of the squaWs were tomahawked and the

1t was Saturday night and the widow of the Pine
Cottage sat by her blazing faggots with her five
tatered children at her side, endeavorng by listen
ing to the arlessness of their juvenile prattle to
disspate the heavy gloom that pressed upon her
mind For long year her own hands had provided
for her helpless family, for she had no supporter
she thought she had no friend in all the wide I'M
friendly world around That mysterious Provi-
dence, the wisdom of whose ways are above human
comprehension, had visited her with wasting sick
ness, and her little means had become exhausted.
1t was now midwinter, and the snow lay heavy and
deep through the surrounding forests, while storms
seemed gathering in the heavens, and the driving
wind roared through the bending pines and rocked
her puny mansion.
The last herring smoked upon the Goals before
her it was the only article of food she possessed
and no wonder if her desolate state brought up in
her lone bosom all the anxietes Of mother when
she looked upon her children; and no wonder, for
lorn as she was if she suffered the heart-swellinps
of despair to rise, though she knew that He
whose promise is to the widow, and to the orphan,
cannot forget bis word. Providence had many years
before taken from her an elder son, who went from
his forest home to try his fortune on the seas since
which she had heard no note or tidngs of him and
IN latter times she had been, by the hand Of DEATH
deprived Of companion and staff of support in
her husband. Yet to this hour she had been I'D
borne; she had been not only able to provide for
her little flock, but had never lost one opportunity
of mnistering to the wants of the miserable and
destitute.

the ability to gain sustenance remains The ndi.

in the presence of his wife, She was accordingly
sent of to the village in her nation, distance of 60
or 70 miles But she could not long remain there,
and soon returned with her little boy on her back,
and, accompanied by some friends, she encamped
near her husbands residence. She sent her son to
the trader, who treated him aftectionately On the
succeeding day, the trader sent for his squaw, and
after making her some presents, he directed her to
accompany her friends who were then on their way
to the hunting ground.
She departed without murmur, as it is not I'M
usual with the Omawhaws to send off one of their
wives, on some occasions, while they remain with
some favorlte one.
About two months afterwards, the trader recalled
her. Overjoyed with what she supposed to be her
good fortune, she lost time in presenting herself
before her husband, whom she tenderly loved. But
great was her disappointment, when her husband
demanded the surrender of her child, and renounc-
ed for the future any association with herself direct
ing her to return to her people, and to provide for
her future well being in any way she might choose.
Overpowered by her feelings on this demand and
reputation she ran from the house, and finding a
perouge on the river she padded over to the oppo-
site side and made her escape into the forest with
her child. The night was cold and attended with
fall of snow and hail. Rejecting upon her discon-
ISOLATE situation she resolved to return again in the
morning, and, with the feelings of wife and
mother to plead her cause before the arbiter of her
fate, and endeavour to mitigate the cruel sentence
Agreeably to this determination, she once more
approached him upon whom she had claims para
mount to those of any other individual. ''Here is
our child, (said she,) do not question your fond
ness for him, but he is still more dear to me- You
say you will keep him for yourself, and drive me
far from you. But no, will regain with him |

The trader then offered her considerable pre-
sent, desiring her at the same time to go and leave
the child. But she said :" Is my child dog, that
should sell him for merchandise You cannot
drive me away you may beat me, it is true. and
otherwise abuse me, but will remain When YOU
