When lola Lafirets recovered her
consciousness, she found herself sup
ported in the arms of Vandcrver, who
was laving her face with water,
and gazing with a sort of wonder
upon her beauty. Never before had
he been permitted to touch even the
hand of one so lovely, much less to
hold her person as he now held lola

that his rough heart beat faster, and

I CARE NOT TO BE THERE.

An Eastern friend, whom we requested t
come Westward, responds to the invitation b
sending the following:
Oh tell me not of brighter lands,
Or sunny, sunny climes away, -
Where morning winds breathe low as lutes,
And zephyrs ever play;
Where streamlets murmur pleasantly
And all is gay and fair,
Oh tell me not of brighter lands,
1 care not to be there.
They sing Of homes in vcrdant isles,
Beside a tranquil sea,
Where sylph-likc forms at even dance,
Beneath the citron tree; .-.-
Nh6fe dark-eyed beauties whisper love,
And soothe the brow of care,
And life is like a marriage FEAST
| care not to be there.
oh tell me not of brighter lands,
Where summer sunsets glow,
Where perfume floats on every breeze,
And fountains tinkle low
The bulbul warbles to its mate,
Beside the starlit streams,
And love smiles on us all the day,
And whispers in our dreams.
Oh tell me not of brighter lands
Though houries from the skies
Should charm us there to soft repose,
Beneath their lovelit eyes;
Or WOO US in their eden bowers
To linger by their side,
Breathing their VOWS like fairy songs,
Upon the moonlit tide.
Oh tell me not of brighter lands,
have one brighter still,
And dear to me is every wood,
And every vale and hill.
But dearer far the smiling home
Where still love to be,
Where kindred, friends, and parents dear
Arc all the world to me-

FArrH-When Philip Henry, father
of the commentator on the Bible, sought
the hand of the only daughter Of Mrs.
Mathew in marriage, an objection was
made by her father, who admitted that
he was gentleman, scholar, and an
excellent preacher, but ne was a stran-
ger. y" True" said the daughter, who
had we'll weighed the excellent quail
ties and graces of the stranger, but |
know where he is going, and | would
like to go with him" and they walked
life's pilgrimage together.

The Christian does not serve God for
happiness, but God by sublime neces-
sity has attached happiness to his SER
vice. Along the ranks. of his army
goes the command to.ejoice-above it
floats the banner of love. Felicity is
the light which rests over it all. From
the helmets Of the seraphim that light
is flashed back in full unclouded blaze !;

Taylor says beautifully, seem to stand
almost on the extreme confines of hap

DEATH OF CHILD.-lt was bright
morning when we followed her to her
rest, but we brought back with us only
darkness. The home which she sun
ned and made musical, was as gloomy
as cavern, and so it remains. 4 few
days ago it seemed like heaven, but
now the stars have faded out, and the
lark that sang at the gate has fallen
with an arrow in its breast. And when
the night came on, how it brought a
new measure-fully heaped--of lonely
agony! How we sought to sleep. and
were awakened by her blessed voice
her pattering footfalls-hcr thrilling
touch 1t did indeed seem as if she
were there. But when we looked
around and saw not; then the truth re-
turned, like a sudden blow, and We
sank again into the troubled waters,
She lies in her little coffin. There are
lrosebuds in her hand, and wreath Oh
myrtle encircles her brow of alabaster.
The leaves fall solemnly, the wind
moaned like chained beast about her
dismal bed. It is hard to leave her
Ithere--it seems SO cold and dfeary iol
the child and yet we know 1t must be-
and because it must be, it is.

asked by an eminent writer Is.
there to be found a gift of Heaven more
precious, more worthy our most ardent
gratitude, than that of possessing u
family, a home, where virtue, kindness

thoughts are lively and enlightened,
where friends, not only by words but by
actions, say to each other, Thy joy,
thy sorrow, thy hopes thy prayer is

CHAPTER II.

Imagine man about six feet III
height, with features hardened by the
inclemency of many winters passed
in the wilds of the Rocky-Mountains,
and in whom are centered the worst
passions that deform poor human ma
ture. Do this and you have imagined
Lacy, the rich fur dealer of St. Louis.
From his youth every caprice had
been humored, every wish gratified,
and it was not to be wondered at
then that he had grown to manhood,
naughty, imperious, and impatient of
contradiction. Hepurchased his friend
ships with gold, and so might Satan
himself, should he think fit to visit
the world in his own proper person
He pondered deeply and bitterly upon
the coldness with which his addresses
had been received by lola Laffrets
and when Dunstan- apaearaa. and sss.r m !,
ceeded where he had so slgnai'y 1allea
he was stung to the quick. Ills
thoughts were now busily employed
for the means of retaliation.
It was not long before plan sug
!, cested itself which promised to graft
!, fy his thirst for revenge, and his pas
! sion az the same time. As we have
stated, Lacy had strong predllec

IN looked about him for those who wou

PICTURE OF LIFE.-In youth we seem
to be climbing hill, on whose top eter-
nal sunshine seems to rest. How ea-
gerly we pant to attain the summit /!
ferent is the prospect ON the other side!
We sigh as we contemplate the dreary
waste before us and look back with q
wistful eye upon the tlowery path we
have passed, but may never more re-
trace. Life is a portentous cloud,
fraught with thunder, storm and rain !;
but religion, like those streaming rays
of sunshine, will clothe it with hight as
with garment, and fringe its shadowy
skirts with gold.

make him understand that he was
going in the same direction.
This news was any thing but graf.
flying to our hero, but he could not
in common courtesy reject the com
panionship of his new friend, and
more he dare not. Although he doub.
ted the faith of the warrior Indian, he
was obliged to submit, and they CON
tinued their way together but not for
a moment did he lose sight of his
strange companion. With one hand
upon a pistol, he managed to watch,
unobserved, every movement, resolved
to shoot him upon the first appearance
of treachery. AS the darkness increas.
ed, he grew more vigilant, and cast
many uneasy glances at the long prai.
rie grass which was sufficiently high to
conceal lurking foe. The savage,
evidently was i'll at ease, and in return
threw many sidelong 'glanccs at the
side-arms of Dunstan, as though con-
scious that any suspicious movements
on his part would be attended with
danger. They had proceeded perhaps
a half.hour in this way, when he mag,
ined he perceived slight movement in
the grass produced by other cause
than tho wind straining his vision to
the utmost, to his alarm, he saw two
bright eyes piercing out upon him, and
presently he distinctly saw the head OF
an Indian eagerly watching his ap,
proach. Dmstan was about to turn
and fly, when the savage by his side
gave a shrill whoop, and endeavorcd
by dexterous movement to throw
himself from his horse. But he had
been anticipated, and before he could
effect his purpose, ball from Dun
STAINS pistol was lodged in his body
and instead of falling as lightly as he
intended, he rolled heavily and with a
groan of rage and pain to the earth
In an instant Bayard was upon his
speed, and as he darted like lightning
away, horrid yells arose from hun
dret tlIoars, anu a., many s,--,e.a>
sprang to their feet who had been snug
him. They were foilcd, and though
there was mounting in hot haste,
Dunstan was far in advance before The
chase fairly commenced. They pu
their horses upon their mettle, anC
whoopinG like tiends, followed, but il
vain. Discouraged they soon aban
doned the pursuit. Our hero pressed
on until morning, for he was we'll aware
that there could be no safety while tn,
Indians We're upon his trail. If ht
came to strcamlet or brook, instead
of crossing it directly, he caused hi
horse to so in its bed as far as practi
cable, invariably leaving it in plac'
where the banks were hard and un
yielding, in order that the imprints o
hoofs might not be left to assist his en-
emies in pursuit. He hoped by thes
precautions to throw them off the scent
