One charming afternoon in the beginning of Sep
TENDER, 1921, as the steamboat Ontario was about
quitting the dock ofthe little forest port on the Gen
nessee, called Carthage, and after the last convey
ance had arrived with the way passengers from Ro-
chester, and the most datory traveller had seen his
baggage safely slowed away and the startled echoes
of the wooded glen had ceased responding to the
bowman's bugle-call-a lad was seen running down
the long steep bank that oyerhangs the quay, max
ing at the same time, various signals to deain the
vessel at her moorng until he could reach the spot
His rbboned hat, and flowing blanket, bespoke him
an aboriginal son of the wilderness ;-and the cap
tain, supposing him to have been sent forward by
some tardy passengers to detain the boat for them
very good-humouredy ordered the men to hold on
but when the boy by signs minated design of en-
tering the vessel himself the captain shook his head
and turned away to give the necessary orders for
dropping down the stream. The poorl little Indian
seemed in an agony at this repuIse, and implored,
with SO many wild gestures of eloquent intreaty, to
be received board, that at length an Englishman
of prepossessng appearance, who had entered the
boat at the commencement Of her voyage from the
Niagara, stepped forward and interceded with the
captain for the youths admittance to which he
replied by many representations of the disorderly
intemperance of that debased and degenerate peo-
pie but the Engshman, who seemed willing to
amuse himself with every chance occurrence, was
earnest to have the boy on board, that to CRAFTY
him, the captain at length assented, and the little
fellow lightly along the plank that connected
the boat with the shore.
As If grateful for the good-natured EngIishman's
