Cease to love her, cease to mind her,

At the early age of six years, Lottie
Lincoln the beauty, gave unmistakable
evidences of being a decided flirt. She
had the peculiar snapof bright, spark
ling eyes, unpossessed and unimitable,
except by those. for whom, alas ! many
an unsuspecting. susceptible heart of

Though he was but eight and aLottie six
years Of age. still Charlie. with . pre-
cocious gallantry. led Miss Lottie by the
hand, every day through the forest glr--

her dinner basket. and placing stones,
or strips of bark, or poles of wood across
all the muddy places. that her dear little
feet might not become wet or soiled -

seemed fairy one indeed-nntil-we
stuck on a sandbar The suns heat
was intolerable. the ice was evanished-
the twenty-four hours lodgment seemed
interminable. 1t was no, fairy life then.
Even the fat lady's good nature gave
way. The entertaining disquisitions of
the long-nosed woman was interspersed

Of gentle or graceful. In short, gaiety
was turned to, gloom-delight to tor

at length shook us from the sand bar,
carried off all repinings also.
At St. Louis we took another boat,

more striking than the contrast between
the ."crew" in the lady s cabin, and the
elegant company in the splendid cabin

a party travelling for pleasure. Here
were toiling, industrial emigrants, each
with quantum sufcit of responsibilities,

was an elderly lady, the widow OF a
gallant Col. in the Mexican war, whose
death occurred soon after peace ensued
Three of her brave sons fell upon that
battle field. She spoke of them with a
quiver of the lips, but with emotion well
controlled. Her life had been passed

and mother of distinguished officers, IN
a petite little form, she yet held a
brave, but truly womanly spirit. She
was on her way to Fort Riply, to visit
her daughter, wife of the commandant.
whom she had not seen for many
years. We became much attached to
her and still preserve as remembrance
the little token Of her regard which she
presented at parting. She was the
only truly beautiful old lady that we ever
met
There was bride who had been a
widow, with black hair, black eyes. and

The sun was shining brightly when

LIFE IN THE WOODS.
No. 3.

To the emerald shores of the Green
river Of Kentucky we bade adieu with
regret. To the many friends, warm
and true, who had two years previously
given SO cordial a welcome to the
Northern bride," and who had never
failed in kindly courtesy and genial
friendship during our brief stay in their
midst-to each we gave trembling
hand, and spoke a fearful goodbye
Minnesota, to US cynosure, was to
them an Arctic region, the abode of
bears and savages. They could not un-
derstand wherein lie the unknown
charms impelling US from so delightful,
cosy, romantic little village, with all its
sociabiliiy, wealth. ease, to cold and
distant clime-with hardships and pri-
vations before us. And looking back
upon it now, we do not marvel at their
want Of perception. We should won :
der at ourselves if the memory of the
hopes and the enthusiasm which then
animated US, was not fresh with US still.
We have not forgotten the beautiful
dreamings that stretched away out into
the future. We remember, and with
what pleasure, the rambles up and
down the shores of the Green, or some
times away out through the magnificent
forests of grounds too beautiful ever to
have been s'dark and bloody"-the
theme of our thought and speech being
Minnesota-th promised land. The
soft and mellow sky, the balmy air, the
placid surface Of the river. still shadows
of ancient trees, the hum Of industry
from the village, the shout of Sambo
from the distant field-all inwoven with
our first dreams of Minnesota /! Pleas
ant is the memory in recurrence, for
beautiful and bright was life. Sorrow
was bnt name Death we had heard
of, but had not seen.
We came by stage to Louisville, one
hundred miles. A very hot day it was
in early September. The dust rolled
up in clouds, giving us anything but
fair compilations or unruffied tempers.
Our party consisted of four, including
q cniid Of dozen years. After spend
ing a few, days in the lively and elegant
Capitol of Kentucky. we took one OF
those superb packets for St. Louis, Of
which the Ohio may be truly proud. A
gay company was on board, and right
merry time we made Of it. The very
