Sweet visiter of Beauy's sphere,
Oh, how love thy chrystal tear,
Thy cheek of blossomd hue admire;
'Tis loves most delicate attire.
The breeze, that DER thy bosom signs,
Bears up thy fragrance towards the skies;
The drops, that wash thy tiny leaves,
Form nectar for the humming bees.
Tell the, little, tender flower,
wv no gave to thee that secret power
Tha; calls the bushes to thy face
With such inimitable grace,
And gives sweetness to thy breath
That scents thy leaves when pale in death

ON its fatal errand, when the flash of a
Cun lii m the deem shadows Of the for.
est, followed bv sharp report--and
rifle ball whislled direct over the shout
der of the Scout. 4 dead, crushing sound
was heard-a smolhered shriek-and the
tall savage bounded high in the air and
fell headlong among the underbrush.
"Bravclv done, my boy :" shouted the
old man exuldnrly, as his gl,nce rested
for 4 moment on the dead Indian
"shouIdn't have been ashamed of that
myself! But there is other work for us
vet. How many Of the red devils are
there, Mabel ?" said he, turning quickly
around.
The scene that met his gaze checked
at once every feeling Of eXuI,aton. Ii
was his daughter darling down the de-
cliyitv and across the opening, and the
laierlv sleeping In1ian in full pursuit,
with the long hunting knife of the Scout
held threateninglv toward her. The
Scouts first impulse was to fly TO her res
cue, but moments thought convinced
him that before he could reach her it
would be too late to save her. A sec
ond glance also revealed to him the
Young man rushing to her assistance,
though the distance between the parties
was so great there was no hope of his
being able to reach the infatuated savage
in time to prevent the accomplishment
of his fatal purpose. Something, how
ever must be done, and that too shortly,
for the Indian was fast closing upon the
terrified maiden, who continued her flight
directly across the area.
Springing to the little hllock on which
he and his daughter had rested at the
time they met, the Scout caught up his
rifle and aimed it at the SAVAGE. He he
STATED, however, for the foe was direct
Nv in range with his daughter, and he
was fearful the same ball might carry
death to her as well as her pursucr. By
this time the Indian was within few
feet of the victim. Already his arm was
extended to seize her, when the Scout
= hastily lowered his rifle, and shouted
with a voice to which despair gave
strength
"Double on him, gal--turn this way,
for your lire!"
AS quick as a flash the painting maid
+ turned on her pursuer in the direction Of
her father. The movement was so sud.
den that she gained considerably on the
balilrd savage.
Once more the, Scout raised his rin,
, with deliberate aim, and taking adj
. vantage of the very moment when tn,
e sayare was on a slight rise, which bro
r his person boldly cut to view, while tn,
@ maiden. being in small hollow, was on
. of his rance, the trigger was drawn. i
= ever the Scou, prayed it was at that fear
\ full moment. His child's existence huny
: on the steadincss of his nerve. One ste.
u only had the Indian taken when til

Scout leading the way-stoppiug al shout
intervals to see if aught could be heard Of
the dreaded foe. But no sound broke
the deep silence save the faint rustic oc-
casioned by their passage through the
underbrush. Once only was it'disiurbed.
Far behind them, swelling family on the .
night air, was heard what at first sounded
like an Indian yell.
"Oh Sod" whispered the maiden in
tremuous tone, cold shudder running
through her frame, II hear them, They
will soon overtake US; they are bowling
over the slain !"
The Scout stopped short, moloniug
for silence, while he stood in the attitude
of one in,ently listening. 4 mnuia or
two elapsed when the same sound was
borne more loudly to their ears.
There, father, do you not hear them ?"
said the maiden in voice of increased
alarm.
"Aye," replied the Scout, in a low
tone, evidently of relief, II hear them
sure enough; they are bowling over the
dead-but cheer up, Mabel, they are not
Indians. The wolves, gal, are Teasing
on the varmnts; It's a dismal sound in
a lone forest, and I've known the time
when II has made me trcmhle as you do
at this moment. But we have nothing
TO fear from them now--the critlurs are
too busy over the dead to NEEDLE with
