cabin. Her whole history might be told in
a word. She lived with the Delawares who
carried her of, till grown up, and then mar
ried Delaware. He either died or ran a.
way, she then married Miami Indian, a
chief as believe. She has two daughters,
both Of whom are married and who live in
all the glory of an Indian cabin, deer-skin
clothes, and cow-skin head dresses. No

ny the new relatives, she whipped out, bri-
died her horse, and then ala Turk, noun
ted astrde and was off Atnlght she could
throw blanket around her, down upon the
floor and at once be asleep.
The brothers and sister tried to persuade
their lost sister TO return with them, and if
she desired it, bring her children. They
would transplant her again to the bank Of
the SusquChanna, and of their wealth make
her home happy. But no. She had al
ways lived with the Indians; they had al
ways been kind to her, and she had pro-
missed her late husband on his death bed,
that she would never leave the Indians
And there they left her and hers, wild and
darkened heathens, though sprung from a
pious race. You can hardly imagine how
much this brother is interested for her. He
says he intends this autumn to go again that

II Fragtnent'-Twas night, and such a
night as earth ne'er saw before. Murky
clouds veiled the fair face of heaven, and
gave to pitchy darkness still deeper dye
The moon had hed-the stars had closed
their eyes for deeds were doing they dare
not look upon The gods of the elements
were abroad. Eolus exulting led forth his
legions, bowling from their dark caverns:
Neptune. foaming with rage, roared madIy,
as he contcnded with his rock bound pri-
son. The incensed Thunder drawn BY
his winged steed,in his arial chariot, fash
ing lightning from his eyes, beloved fortn
his madness-aEd ever and anon the de-
monlac shout. Of Ate, and the fiendish
laughter Of Hecate and her crew were heard
above the tempest. For time the pure
streams turned stagnant and ceased to flow
the mountain trembled, and the forest drop
ped It's leaves, the flowers lost their frag-
rance and withered, and all nature became
desoiate. In glee serpants Kissed, harples
screamed, and satyrs revelled beneath the
branches of the Upas. Domestic beasts
crep near the abode of men. The lion re-
linquished his half eaten prey: the tiger,
forgetful of his fercsness, ran bowling 10
his lair; and even the hiena deserted his re
past Of dead mems bones. Man alone Of
all earth's creatures slept. But still he
slept as if;he bOding Ofsome halfunknown
calamity brooded over his mind. The as
piring youth muttersd of blasted hopes:
long cherished-young, fair and gifted
maidens would start, and trembling, weep
their injured innocence-and mothers, too
would half awake and while. they pressed
their little nurslings TO their breasts, would
breathe still another prayer for the protec-
tiOn. On such night-Hell yawned, and
gage to esrthl-.A Slanderer,

was brought to Jesus, which had dumb
spirit, which often cast him into the fire and
into the water to destroy him, and the faith
er OF the young man saith to Jesus, if thou
canst do anything, have compassion on us.
Jesus said, if thou canst believe, all things
are possible to him that believeth; and the

said, Lord believe. And immediately
Jesus cast out the foul spirit. Another--the

By these passages of scripture, anG many
more that might be quoted, we plainly see

all sin and iniquity-to cleanse the heart
from all vile affections, by the operations of
the Holy Spirit; and TO create within us en-
tlrely new feelings and affections, and to
fill the heart with all joy, peace, long-suf-

meekness, temperance. Jesus saith, except
man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom Of God and | believe it is as
much impossible for any person to become
child of God, without regeneration, as to
be child of man without generation. AS
we are born Gods enemies, we must be
newborn his sons, or remain enemies still.
The greatest reformation of lite that can be
attained to, without this new life wrought
In the soul, may procure our further delu-

or carnal mind is enmity against God,-
! therefore how can we expect the love or ia

might child expect The love, favor, and ap-
probation of parent, while he continues in
Wiiiul disobedience to him. If we wish &c

full enjoyment Of Jesus Christ, in this
world, we must give up ourselves entirels
