TIE INDIAN CHEF.

Within wild deserted wood
 Through which river rolled, in indian Chieftafn fearless stood With saddened look, yet bold; And breeding OCT his conntry's woes His grief 10 indignation rose. Is this the land-is this the land
 Which gave my fathers birth! Which nature formed with cunning hand A chosen spot of earth? Oh no, ais not the chosen place, Its beauty withered with my race. Those hearts of fire, too proud to die, Remain not now the same; That tameless look, and eagle eye, Have changed for brow of shame. For happiness and glory fled ABefore the white man $ withering tread. The flower which blossoms in the shade, Would wither in the summer air; And nature has the Indian made
 To bloom and flourish there. But when our wilds and groves decay, Our race like spring flowers pass away. Our council fires nolonger shine,
 Our minds no longer sing; That leafess and that branchless pine, Scathed by the lightnings wing, Is proper emblem of the-race Who have no home, no resting place. What binds me to existence now! Can ] revenge my country's wrongs! Or shall my eagle spirit bowl
 No! life but misery prolongs. He spolke--and plunging in the wave, Within it's bosom found grave.

 Tue tar Penitent.--lt was evening. The last rays of the setting sun fell up on the richly painted windows of the Abbey, and threw a"dimr religious light upon the marble floor beneath, and the fretted pillars that rose on all sides. 4 young female dressed in virgin white, advanced inthe isle, with slow and ire gular steps, her eyes timidly bent upon the ground, and her lovely locks half shading a countenanee in which health and innocence seemed to vie with each s-other, which should add most beauty to features, the form of which were beau y itself.
 She stopped for moment as she reached the open portal of the chapel that formed d recess on none side of the aisle, aud then turned into the re- cess. entered Confessional, and fell up- on her knees.
 What @ignorant sins could this sweet one have committed, that required ab- solution at the hands of her holy father confessor?
 We shall sec.
 Having first pronounced her accus- toned prayer with timid voice, she seemed 10 gain confidence by this act, and proceeded 10 relate, first, her little acts ot eontamaey towards her school mistress, (for, though bordering on wo- manhood, she had not yet left the Con. vent School;) then her httlc sins of ac- tual commissions; reserving the gravest to the last. At length, though she hac evidently not concluded her confession she ma'ie full stop, as if reluctant tc proceed farther.

 The priest said nothing to encourage her; bur the pretty penitent still hesi. tated and as she covered her sweet face with her two hands, as if ashamed to have it seen, the tears made their way between her pretty fingers.
 ssCome--come,. said the holy father s'this must not be. l must interrogate you. What is itthat thus troubles you Have you done any thing to injure ol offend your good parents?"

 "Have you been reading in wicked books?''

 The good priest began seriously to be alarmed; yet he did not know how to frame his questions so as avoid sugges. tons, which If he should prove wrong Tn his suspiclons) might render the rem edy more mischievous than the disease.
 At last, the young beauty, as if by desperate effort, relieved him from his embarrassment. 'sFather,' said he, with a trembling voice, q will tell yon all, if Heaven will give me strength to speak. But, pray be indulgent, good father. It was the first time-and Tam sure that never tho't that so much harm would come of it. Besides, it was not all my own fault--it was partly his.-- And he is so very handsome tool [The good priest trembied.] .And so fond of me-he used 10 follow me about wherever went-he seemed to think and care about nobody but me. .n--[ She paused moment-then continued. -- NWeli, father, one night, after had re-
