attention or neglect of these points.

LcOnOra Brown.
A STORY OF A HEROIC GIRL.

On the border of Green Lake in
Minnesota, there lived a sturdy, white
haired frontiersman, named Walter
Brown. He was one of the adven-
turous spirits ever to be found in the
van of civilization, always courting the
free, wild air of the prairie and rejoc.
ing in the profound depths of unin-
habited forests.
But the country became more and
more thickly settled, and Walter Brown
became uneasy. His wife had borne
him a daughter the third or fourth
year of their residence at the head
waters of the st. Croix, whom he call
ed Leonora, She was a good girl,
and the idol of her father. He pur-
chased rife for her when she was
twelve years old, and took the utmost
pains in teaching her the use of it.
She was brave and steady of nerve,
and soon acquired wonderful skill as a
shot, and the number of prairie chick
ems, partridges, wild water fowls and
other small game she managed to shoot
every day, was really large.
Occasionally she would shoot deer,
and one evcntful morning, by lucky
shot through the eye into the brain,
she killed bear.
When she came home with the news,
her father could hardly credit her,
Knowing her perfectly truthful ma
ture, he danced about the room for
joy, and seizing the sturdy little maid,
he mounted her upon his shoulders and
insisted upon carrying her to the spot
where bruin lay.
Thicker and thicker flowed the tide
of emigration into Minnesota and Wis
consin, following the navigable rivers
as matter of course, and more uneasy
and crowded felt Walter Brown. At
length his wife died.
Leonora was then sixteen and was
engaged to be married to handsome
young trapper by the name of Wat.
son, who had joined her father in bust
ness.
The death Of the mother had made
it necessary to postpone the wedding,
and in the interval old Walter decid.
ed to move into Northwestern Mime
sofa.
Neighbors were getting too near,
and hunting and trapping were bad.
AS the young man had proved up
and pte-empted a quarter section of
land near Taylor's Falls, he did not
wish either to abandon or sell it just
then, and persuading Leonora to write
to him, he bade her an affectionate
goodbye.
Brown lived in Minnesota for three
or four years in peace and quiet, find
ing good trapping and hunting grounds,
when all at once young Watson arriv-
ed, and renewed the proposition of
marriage with Leonora. The old man
had about determined to move no
more, and had accordingly located and
pre-empted several thousand acres of
land about him, and learning from
Watson that he had enough to do like
wise, proposed that they should 60

the autumn to make little visit. /
was in old times, when the only mode
of conveyance for travellers was the
stage e-coach Among his fellow-pass
engers in the coach was young lady
of very agreeable person and manners
who first attracted his notice by her
kind consideration for an old woman
who was assisted into the coach at the
way-side inn. In the course of the
day the gentleman became pretty well
acquainted with the young lady, whose
name he ascertained was Mary W.
He began to feel strong interest in
her, and it would seem from the result
that the interest was in some degree
reciprocal. In the course of the con-
versation that they held together In
the stage, and also walking up certain
long hills, where such of the paesen-
gers as were so disposed got out to re-
lieve the horses, they learned mutual
ly many particulars of each others
parentage and history, so that as the
day passed on they began to feel some
what like old friends.
During the afternoon a rain-storm
came on. The roads became wet and
heavy, and the progress made was slow.
The sky was overcast, and darkness
supervened at very early hour, while
the stage was yet several miles from
the village where it was to stop. AS
the wheels went plowing through the
mud and ruts, the passengers became
uneasy, for the driver had no lights.
The young lady, however, evinced so
much calmness and composure as
greatly to increase the interest which
the student felt for her. The danger
was real, as socn proved, for just as
the coach reached the top of the hill
the wheels on one side went off the
edge of the road into ditch and the
coach overturned.
The student called out to the pass
engers to lie as still as possible, so as
to g. out quietly, one by one, from
the openings in the side of the coach
which was uppermost. He was him.
self near the door on that side, and
was the first to escape. He then as
sisted the others by feeling, for it was
so utterly dark that nothing could be
seen. The young lady came next but
one. The road was SO wet and mud
dy, he said that she could not step in
it, and she must let him carry her to
the bank on the other side. She con.
sented.
So he took her in his arms, and be-
gan to carry her across the muddy
road, feeling his way in the utter dark
ness, made more intense by the trees
of a forest that bordered the road.
She welded herself so readily to his
grasp, and reclined her head so confid-
ingly upon his Shoulder, that he was
encouraged to whisper in her ear,
Mary, are yon engaged to be married?"
She answered "No." "Are you willing
to be my wifep She answered "Yes."
He sealed the promise with usual little
