CHAPTER III.

The feelings of Frederick on reading
the letter, after he had retired TO his room,
may be better imagined than described.
He sat long, his eyes fixed upon the pa.
per yet seeing it not his mind wander
ing dIsractedly over past events, now
shooting far forward into the future, and
now conjuring up before his fancy, the
form of his fond mother, spurned from the
door Of some rich mans splendid mansion,
even morsal Of bread denied her, when
starving for the want Of it. Then he be-.
held her pale and cold, borne to lone
grave, with none to mourn her death.
But this picture was too much for linn,
and, oyerpowered by his emotions, he
sank half fanting upon his bed. At the
waichman's cry of eleven he was first
reused to a consciousness of existence.
Springing suddenly 10 the floor, he ex-
claimed, Z" My mother is not dead feel
it, know it, shall yet meet her on earth
and she will be happy. She was before
me so plain; was in some richly fur.
nished house, and on a costly sofa sat a
silver haired cid man, "a, his feet knelt a
lavely woman in rags. twas my mother,
| know it " as,--he raised her, and clas-
ped her in his arms and wept. Oh it
was a joyful sight. The old man then
called me 10 him and embraced me ten
derby. Oh. why did that noisy watch
man rouse me when was so happy 7
But | shall see my mother, know shall"
Collecting his scattered senses. he un-
dressed himself and sunk into a gentle
and refreshing sleep.
Poor, youth! II was The first trouble
he had ever known. But his mind was
strong, and after The first shock was over,
il SCARED above it's usual limit and took a
station commensurate with the object that
was TO be accomplished.
He awoke in the morning refreshed,
and as be took out his watch. his eye
caught the seal and he thought Of the
words upon it, Industry and perseve-
rance move mountains" "Yes" he
exclaimed, ",his shall be my motto, aud

A Escnu,ifnI Speech.

The Natchez Free Trader contains report Of
speech of Col Cobb, the celebrated halfbreed
chief Of the Choctaws, made in reply to J. J. Nc.
Rae. Esq, the agent fer enrolling and emigrating
the Indians to the west Of the Mississippi, who
had made speech to the Indians, about one thou
sand in rumber, assembled at Hopahka, informing
them tina, "their council fires could no more 10
kindled here !" that 'their warriors can have no
field for their glory and that their spirits win de-
cay within them;" and that, il they should etake
the hand of thergrea father, the president which
is now offered them TO lead them to their western
homes, then will their hopes be highcr-theif
destnies brighter"
The Natchez Courier appropriately says Of this
bit Of elcquencc that, for comprehensiveness and
brevity, for beauty of dcion and force, for affect
ing sublimity and propTie,y Of sentiment, we have
never seen any production to excecdit. Wepub-
lish it as composition worthy to be preserved.

would scorn to boast Of aught but their
own actions. as emitting them TO psss-
port into good company.
The employer Of Frederick, Mr.. E.,
was wdower. with one married daugh-
ter. who was his only child. His som
in-law was man, in every sense Of The
word; but as our object in bringing him
into notice, is TO allow him the honor Of
introducing his sister, we shall say but
little about him.

SPRING.

d" There's charm in Spring when ev'ry thing
Is bursting from the ground
When pleasant showers bring forth the flow
And all is life around.
In Sum@er day the fragrant hay
Most sweetly scents the breeze.
And all is still, save murm'ring rill,
Or sound of humming bees.

In quest of birds we roam;
Unerring aim, we mark the game,
And proua'- '...-- i a....:s::.-.; 49,

Well warmed to bed we go;
A Winters day, were blithe and gay,
Snipe shooting in the now.
A country life, without the strife
And noisy din of town,
Is all need,-I take no heed
Of splendor or renown;
And when die, oh, let me lie
Where trees above me wave;
Let wild plants bloom around my tomb,
My quiet country grave

ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, MAY 10. l843.

-
becoming a partner of Mr.. Wilson, he
had became acquainted with several young
men OF disso!ute habits, who had led him
into bad company; that be had taken to
gambling and lost all he was worth, and
had then commenced by taking small sums
at time and making false entries TO hide
it, but had kept on increasing as the de-
mand for it increased, until a few months
before, he, with another, formed a plan TO
raise large amounts of money and then
leave the country, as it would be lmpossi'
bic TO remain much longer and escape sus-
picion. Notes to the amount Of twenty
five thousand dollars were drawn, payable
at short dates, and the name of the firm
signed TO them by Howard. Forged en-
dorsements were then placed upon them,
of some ofhe best men in Charleston and
New York, by the accomplice of Howard,
who sold them to brokers in New York
a few days before they became due, took
the money and met Howard at an'appoin-
ted place where they divided the spoils.
The letter of this arch villain concluded
thus 1.-THE money ! took from the
bank, was clear windfall for me, as did
not expect it. My love for your daugh-
ter was all feigned for effect. Bad com
pany has ruined me. and | have ruined
you; for you are not worth one hundred
dollars in the world. Advise Frederick
to keep clear of bad company. For
though am rascal now, would rather
be an honest man. always hated Free
derrick, for feared he would find me ont,
but l wish him well Notwithstanding. At
first intended to make up the money
took from you, but found it impossible,
and soon became reckless. 1t is no use
to attemptto pursue me, for shall be safe
before you see this letter"
Thus was Mr.. Wilson made fully con-
scious of his situation in the above heart
less manner, and "stung by the viper he
had warmed" With sad hearts and in
silence did the trio partake of their evening
meal. After supper Mr. Wilson called
Frederick to him, and told him what until
that time he was unconscious of, viz !:
"that he was not his son." 81 have
purposely kept you ignorant of this"
said he, " thinking it was best, as in
tended to make you my heir and treat you
as my own child. You are now nearly
nineteen years Of age, and are capable of
Judging for yourself; therefore believe
it is best that you should know your real
situation. You are of respectable birth,
as this letter which was left you will show.
AS for me, tomorrow shall make an as
signment Of all my property, for the bene-
fiji of my creditors, then remove to some
convenient and cheap lodgings, and endea-
vor to procure some business by which
can support myself and daughter; and
shall also do all in my power to assist
you. Go now my son, Qor call you
nothing else.) read your mothers letter,
and tell me in the morning what you wish
to do
