CHAPTER II.

Ours is a sketch of events, and not a tale of
romance, therefore the loves of Wequash and
Sapphina must be anticipated, imagined, not
painted-how they met, how the savage won
The maiden must remain untold, unuttered.
He won her.-About month after the arri-
val of the fleet, already mentioned, Wequash
was on his way to Plymouth, where another
portion of tribe was placed to protect the inte-
rior part of the country, from further spoila-
ton by the whites. His departure from Boston,
caused other complaints than those arising
from loss of cattle, and household goods
which the curiosity of the natives appropria-
ted without leave, to themselves.
The knight of Jerusalem, Sir Christopher
Gardiner, was observed in great agitation to
enter the house of the governor, of whom he
demanded instant audance. Astonshment
was depicted on the countenance of the COVER
nor, when he heard the knights story.-ssY our
daughter stolen by Wequash! impossible! she
may have strayed into the woods and
eNo!'' exclaimed the knight-ssNo, my
friend, would to Heaven she had, my account
is true-a recreant Indian is even now here to
prove it, he says that she was seized by four
chiefs, and carried to the mountains"
ssAnd one of them ?''-
"Was Wequash-give me fifty men and will
hunt this savage through his native wilds!''
ssBut sir knight, you are not acquainted
with his mode of warfare, and this Wequash
is a wary and mighty warrior" -
ssMy wrongs will teach me them, and my
injuries sustain me in the conflict, these are
the best tactics in war;
The governor Immediately issued proclama-
tion promising large rewards to those who
should apprehend the ravisher, and restore the
maiden to the colony. Many of the Pequots,
actuated by the promised reward, love of ad-
venture, and spirit of revenge, willingly join
ed those who started in pursuit. Sir Christie
phar headed his fifty selected men, among
them several Indians, whom he took as spies,
and to act as guides. : They Immediately took
the route which they ascertained had been ta-
ken by Wequash. r~t,-es-.t
On the heights of Plymouth, Wequash had
encamped, and it was suggested to the exaspe.
rated knight, to save unnecessary shedding o
blood, that a messenger should be dispatched

THE JEW ESS.
a Tradition OF THE RABRIs,

The celebrated teacher, Rabbi Mer, sat du-
ring the whole of the Sabbath day in the pub
lie school, instructing the people. During his
| absence from the house his two sons died,
both of them of uncommon beauty, and en-
| lightened in the law. His wife bore them to
the bed chamber, laid them upon the marriage
| bed, and spread white covering over their
bodies. In the evening the Rabbi Meir ca,no
home.
''Where are my two sons,'' he asked, ..that
| may give them my blessing? L repeatedly
looked round the school, and did not see them
there
She reached him goblet. IIc praised tho
| Lord at the going out Of the Sabbath, drank
and again asked
s'Where are my sons: that they too msy
| drink of the cup of blessing?''
''They viii not be far off, she said, and
placed food before him, that he might eat
He was in gladstone and genial mood; and
when he had said grace after tho meal, she
thus addressed him:
'<Rabbi, with thy permission, would fain
propose to thee one question:
'sAsk it thou, my lovc!'' he replied.
"a lew dtyS ago, person entrusted somo
jewels to my custody, and now he demands
them again; should give them up?,'
'sThis is question: said Rabbi Melt,
e.which my wife should not have thought i.
necessary to ask.-What, wouldst thou hest
tate or be reluctant to restore to every ono
his own?'' ass
ssNo,'' she replied, "but yet thought il
best not to restore them without acquainting
thee herewith .s -
She led him to the chamber, and stepping
to the bed, took the white covering from the
dead bodies. a- 80. fs-r.
ssAhl my sons, my sons.'' thus loudly Ia
mented the father; seiny sonsl the light of my
eyes and the light of my understanding FL

the law.
The mother turned away and wept bitterly
and said
s'Rabbi did'st thou not teach me that we
must not be reluctant to restore that which
was entrusted to our keepinga See; the Lord
gave, the Lord has taken away, and blessed
be the name of the Lord 20
s'Blessed be the name of the Lord!'' echoed
Rabbi Meir, ssand blessed be his name for thy
sake too; for well it is written, ssWhosoever
hath found virtuous wife, hath q greater
treasure than costly pearls; she openeth her
mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the
law of Kindness

CHAPTER XIX.
Tho Interior Of the cabin, with its earthen
floor, was remarkably neat and clean and con-
siderable taste was displayed in the arrange
ment of flowers, stuck in handfulls around the
rough walls. Two old, rickettyl coUches oc-
cupied the opposite corners. A broad, circu-
lar block of wood, with ones of smaller di-
rnensions, and lower, served for table and
chairs.
The whole occupied gentle eminence,
which sioped gradually into dark hollow
along which flowed stream of pure, fresh
water, its banks being lined with low, over
hanging ever greens, and wild flowers.
Imagine this spot, in the midst of a forest,
many miles in extent, and you have the place
before you.
Soon after the gfant-man, with coarse Draw
ny features, and bass voice, closed the door Of
the cabin behind him, the person who had
been asleep on the couch began to stir; and,
yawning or twice, soon had her eyes on
the pale, delicate Granger, in bewildered
amazement. Then, quickly rising, and throw
ing loose gown over the shoulders, stealthi-
ly crept toward the fire; when Vertitia, look
ing up, saw pair of black, wild eyes fixed
full upon her.
These eyes belonged to an exceedingly ro-
mantle creature--a young girl about fourteen
with long, jet-black hair, hanging down over
the neck and shoulders, in wondrous profu-
sion. Though, at a glance, plainly destitute
of much mental culture, yet nature had not
been sparing in some of her choicest gifts
CT
and kind, good-natured look, the girl made
. favorable impression on Vertitia though she
thought she had never before saw such queer,
wild-looking creature.
After her large, black eyes had sufficiently
satisfied their curiosity, the quizzical girl made
apretty graceful courtesy, and lit up her coun-
tenace with smile.
The old woman, in the mean time, had sat
close by Vertitia's side, looking stea'ily at
the fire, with thoughtful cast of countenance.
She was tall, lean woman, stopped, sallow
compie1ioned, easy and graceful in her man
ners, with tinge of melancholy settled about
the features. She was one of those, part of
whose history. at least. is written In the face,

the whole, while there was nothing repulsve
in either her looks or manners, like her wild,
romantic daughter. Letta, her countenanee
gave proofs of a disposition, at least, to be
Kind and good-natured.

MED them, and their chief, Sassacres, said
she 11as only one, god and nobody" which
means that he was under the protection of the
great Spirit. The Doctor remained with them
several days. His visit effected much good
towards establishing the safety of the colony.
The next summer several ships arrived, fill
! ed with passengers. Among them was Chris
| topher Gardiner, knight of Jerusalem, and
of the family of the famous bishop of that
name, in queen Mary's reign. He was Cos
mopolite, and had travelled over the greatest
! part of the known world. He had been at Je-
ruSalem the city of the world he had fought
the Saracen on his own ground, and gained
| honors and renOwn. He came to the new
country to spend the remainder of his days in
| retirement. He was accompanied by an only
daughter, beautiful girl Of twenty, whose
sylph-like form and sparkling eyes were cal
culated to brighten up the sombre looks of the
colonists, whose stern and unremitting cxer-
tions in the cause of Christianity and cviliza-
ton, had nearly dried up all those streams of
affection and love, which, in ssdays of yore''
were wont to Tighten the heart and shed the
of truth had gone out-fanaticism stirred its
ashes-the age had become insane on matters
of religion.-Poetry and romance were only to
be found among the Indians. They were
natures children! H-..a -
The sky was bright-the birds sung sweetly
in the grove, there was music in the land
The breeze breathed its Eolian strains over
the waters, and the howl of the far off wolf
was less harsh to the ear. 1t was a day of
loveliness, for beauty was abroad.
Wequash was standing at the waters edge,
when the noble vessel hove in sight. His eye
rested on the ship, and he scrutnized every
face as the passengers stepped, one by one, on
the shore of the new world Curiosity alone
attracted the stern, proud chief. Nc emotion
was visible on his manly countenance until the
beautcous Sapphina appeared. 1t was then the
chieftian's eyes became fixed; they rested on
the gem of the earth, lovely woman. Hers
in return fell upon the noble form of the Mar
raganset'a chief, for a moment there was
pause-Wequash made one step towards her
the father placed his hand on the handle of
his sword--the motion was involuntary, and
they passed on: s'Wompanoag-is she not
Spirit?'' asked the chief of a follower.
'.No, mighty chief-she is only white
rose, transplanted-she will fade.'' |
=. s'Never! Wompanoag-the bud of such
flower is immertal--it Will blossom--its leaves |
may fall, but that, the source of all, will still |
rcmain-like the bright sun, Wompanoag-it |

''Chief !"-s'W ompanoag a-do you follow

Support your County Panar

The following remark from the Southern
Watchman, is worthy of attention =
I'VE are satisfied that many persons are gov
erned by an erroneous view in regard to sus-
tanning their HOME papers-many of them be-
lieving that they contain little of interest,
while those from distance are brimful of
every thing good. Now the truth is, that
precisely the contrary is the fact. A home
paper is better than any one from a distance
possibly can be; because it contains all the
foreign and general news to be found in a dis
tant paper, and besides this, the local news,
advertisements, &C., which can never be found
in a distant one.. The man. therefore, who
takes but one paper, stands greatly in his light
If he does not take the one nearest his place of
residence--and no man can take so large a
mum ber of papers as to mako it desirable to
dispence with the reading of local sheet.
