A wild assent rang from the assembled
warriors, and the young chieftain, with an
air of pride and majesty, led the beautiful
Julia from the presence of the Council,
and placed her in charge of her former In.
dian maiden.
Ten years past away, and the tide of
white population rolled like foam-capped
bllow over the west, causing ''the wilder
ness to blossom like the rose,' and ''ma-
king the solitary places glad"
AT the close Of long summers day, as
more adventurous emigrant and his FAM
lily had penetrated far beyond the frontier,
and approached the Ohio river, they beheld
as the sun was setting in all its gorgeous
splendor behind the western forests, a beau.
tlful cottage surrounded by shrubbery and
fields, under high state of cultivation. A
group of well dressed children were play
ing in the lawn, and man and woman IN
the usual custome of settlers in the woods,
were setting upon the rude portico before
their door, evidently witnessing with sat-
lsfacton the sports of their children.
AS the emigrants drew near, the hus-
band and wife approached the cavalcade
and welcomed the new corners to heir
cottage; but nothing could exceed the
establishment of the emigrants, as they cast
their eyes over the cleared land around
them, and then rested them upon the in
mates of the cottage. They were salts
he'd that the man was of Indian extraction,
but the wife and children had the blue eve
and the light hair of the Saxon race, and
the latter little BROWNIES of complexion,
which might have beer The effects of the
summer sun. For some time they were
left in doubt. At last, when the morning
come, and the emigrants were getting
ready to depart, their kind hosts. with their
children by their sides, drew near to them,
and carrying them to a beautiful arbor,
formed of the vine of the wild grape sup
ported by sappngs, on the banks of the
broad Ohio, related in turn the preceding
incidents and when they had reached the
period where we left them. the wife drew
from her bosom the eagles plume tipped
with blood, and throwing herself upon hel
husbands neck, said Ny countrymen
this is WankInco, and these" pointing tc
her children, "are the pledges of his love
stay then with US, and settle in this lovely
spot"
The emigrant looked up stream anC
f down stream, and then at his wife anC
children, and then took up piece Of wood
and commenced furious whiting.
