THF SYCAMORE BoUGH.

Upon an ancient syca,iore
A noble botgt there grew,
And fosered myriads of leaves
That hid itself from view.
When winter came with ahgry breath,
The bough was brown and bare;
Gone where tie summer-hearied leaves
That since were nurtuted there.
Thus with vain rnah. In summer days
The world around him clings;
II guiles his heart, and DER his faults
A leafy mantle hings;
Ii blinds hin, till the bitter day
OF pain and death comes on
And leaves him then 10 bear his woes;
Unaided and alone.
Not so the lowly man who walk:
The path that Jesus trod,-
Who daily learns to die; whose /" life
Is hid with Christ in God"
The world can ne'er between his soul
And Gods love intervene;
fn Joy or sorrows life or death;
His hope is ever green!

The frame Of the young chief was for a
moment convulsed, but in an instant his exa
preston changed to fixed calmness, as he
replied, The Medecin is right, let her go!'
Nahtourah had raised her eyes to the face
Of the speaker, But when she heard these
words of condemnation She sank down, as
If smitten by some sudden and overpower-
ing blow. She will die, Nahtourah will
die murmnred she ; 'Sharatack has sb1-
ken, she will die
The Medecin approached hef. Has

demanded he.
She has heard enoughp replied the girl:
She has heard the words of Sharatack;
and she will die!'
IT'S WELL replied the Medecin coldly;
{ the dead are waiting for her.
The Hawk Chief had drawn back as Me-
decin approached his victim. The form
and features of the young warrior were muf-
fled, except the upper part Of his face; bu.
from above his robe, his eyes were bentup-
on the Medecin like Goals of fire.
The priest gathered the long hair of the
girl in one hand, then thrusting the other
beneath his robe, he drew forth knife
With sudden jirk he threw back the head
Of the girl SO as to leave bare her bosom,
and raised the glittering blade. But at that
Instant yell, wild and uneatthly, rang
through the lodge. The Medecin lay gro.
Yelling on the ground, and Nahtourah was
raised high up on the breast Of Shara.
tack. He stood III the midst Of the coun.
Gil chamber, and glared upon the awed
crowd. In his hand he held his tortiahawk
his form swelled, and every feature was a.
live with passion.
Nahtourah shall not de- said he id
tones Of smothered fury.
'Lct the Medecin beware! Naht0urah is
the aCJe ofSharatack. The Hawk has Ia
lons.'
The priest rose from the ground; drew
back from the neighborhood of the warrior
who had leveled him, forced his way thro'
the crowd, and fled the lodge.
A short silence followed the departure of
the priest, who was rather feared than loved
by the savages; and they were therefore
more disposed to admire one, who disre:
garded power that oVerawed themselves!
At length an old Indian rose.
Nahtourah released the pale faced pris;
oners. She merits death. 'Tis clear:
But Sharatack has claimed her for his wife.
IT'S well! He is great warrior. Her
children will be warriors of the tribe. Are
my words good!' A murmur of assent ran
from mouth to mouth. Then one after a:
mother Of the warriors rose as if all business
were concluded, and quilted the council
chamber, leaving NahtOurah and Sharatack.
The young chief cut the bonds that bound
the girl, and holding her before him at arms
length, gazed steadily in her face.
'The old warrior spoke well, said he;
'Sharatack has taken an enemy to the Paw.

With glad cry the girl sprang forward;
threw her arms around his neck, and press
