l could have shouted for joyl I hardly
thought of poor Mr.. Fifeld at all. Char
ley and Clint had found Lettie in the
timber, four or fve rods from the old
stub where had first seen the Indian.
The red skins had tied her toalittle iron
wood tree. She had cried out to the
boys on hearing their voices, and they
had found her. ,ea, ',' ~: !. a. :, tsf e..
sssHAs she was coming along to school,
past the e'slew," an Indian jumped out Of
the alders and seized her, and, before she
had time to scream, he put one OF his big
hands over her face, while two other saw
ages tied her arms, They then took her
along with them, through the wood, near:
ly to the schoolhouse. a. x.rE b..
All three of these redskins spoke
broken English, Lettie said. When they
tied her to the little ironwood, they, told
her they would tomahawk her it she cried
out or made. the least noise. OF course
she was frightened nearly to death. .ad'l

been for poor Mr.. Fifeld's indiscretion in

A LITTLE GIRLS WONDER.

What do the birds say, I wonder, wonder.
With their chitter and chatter? 1t isn't all
play. -
Do they scold, do they fret at some boggle or
blunder, i"
AS we fret, as we scold, day after day?
Do their hearts ever ache, Iwonder, I wonder,
Atanything else than the danger that comes
When some enemy threatens them over or
The great lsafy boughs of their great. 1eafy
Do they VOW to be friends, wonder, wonder
With promises fair, and promises sweet
Then, quick as q wink, at word fall asunder,
AS human friends do, in moment of heat!
But day after day may wonder and wonder,
And ask them no end of such questions as
With chitter, and chatter, now over, now
under,
The big, leafy boughs of the big, leafy trees.
They dart and they skim, with their bills full
of plumber,
But never word of an answer they give.
And never word shallI get, though 1 wonder
From morning till night, as long as live
Nora Ferry, in st. Nicholas for May.

SONG OF THE WRECK.

High DER the beach the shattered hulk, .-..
With storm-wrenched timbers stern and
Mars, ' Win it's grim, unsightly bulk.
The brightness Of ~ the golden day. II
While tossed on high each gnarled beam,
Clear cut against the amber sky,
Like wrestling giant arms might seem
Flung out IN helpless agony. -s,.,-.y- -
And fancy counts the winters gone e =
Since, bowed beneath the tempest's hate,
The hapless vessel, drifting on,
Came grooming, shuddering to her fate.
And gallant lives of stalwart men,
Borne upward on the raging air,
Went out mid terror, night and pain,'
In one fierce pang of wild despair.
Now while on shore and sea the sun
Its purple mantle gently lays
And far-seen islands, one by one.
Melt in the rosy glimmering haze
While yelling up through beach and seam,>,
The sun-tipped wavelets pulsing tiow,s. / :
Telling the beach their summer dream
In seal blown murmurs faint and low
Fair, gentle girls!with eyes like stars,
And ripping laughter crisp and sweet
Cluster around the gray old spars,
The brigat foam dancing to their feet.
Till when the sunset glories fade.
And twilight deepens into night
When, keenly flashing through the shade
Flames DER the sea the beacon light.
Their parting voices wane and faint
To stiffness all unknown before
Save where the night wind means its plant
Round wreck and tower, on wave and
shore.
Courage, sad heart! Though dark and chill
The storm wrecked life in ruins lie.
Though wailing ghosts its chambers fill,
And strength and hope and impulse die.
Still young and love some tender CLEANS, r
Some jolly light, DER thy gloom shall cast
Stirring to transient happy dreams. " sSs@
The old sweet yearnings of the past.
And when the darkness falls again,
Stand, like the watch tower, strong and
sure;
In patience bide thy lonely pain,
Steadfast abe,-and endured

The windows Of the schoolhouse we're
small, and so high that could not look
out from my seat But behind me there
was a chink between the logs, from
which some Of the children had pulled
the Eastwood bark which had been stuffed
into it. It was a little crevice not halt
an inch wide. All the time we were read
ing in the Testament kept peeping out
at this crevice, for it was on the back
side, and could sec the road along
which Lettie had to come, and out into
the timber above the road.
She was nowhere in sight.

There were dry tire-wceds and sprouts

distinctly. But it crawled along to the
blackened stub, of a, great yellow birch,
and Strengthened up behind it, as if about
I'd climb it,. Then I saw an Indians head
thrust stealthily out from one side of the
old stump, and the savage looked toward
the schoolhouse
cannot describe the feeling that the
sight gave me. It flashed into my mind
in an instant that it was an Indian that I
had seen down at the s'slew': and that he
had waylaid Lettic.
"George" cried Mr.. Fifeld, sharply,
"take your place in the class"
'Master," said 1 with very white
face, I suppose, there's an Indian out

"What?" exclaimed Mr.. Fifeld.

Religious Intelligence.

Rev. +, 5. LADD, formerly slave Mt the South,
has been engaged az pastor Of the church at West
Corinth for the coming year
The Methodist and Congregational churches In
Willamstown, thinking worship without the help
OF the sisters to be very imperfect, held their
Thanksgiving service in the evening with an I'M
usual attendance
The Congregational church and society Of Fair
Haven have extended a unanimous call TO the
Rev. William Rufus Cushman Flagg Of westford,
Massachusetts, to become their pastor. Mr. Flagg
Is native OF Vermont. "IIe possesses many
traits OF character" writes the correspondent who
sends us this information, (Which 80 distin-
guished his grandfather who was the beloved
pastor Of this church fifty years ago" Mr.. Flagg
accepts.
Mrs. HAMMOND concluded her four weeks la
Dor at Essex Junction November 2ist. Her meet
ings were held in the Union House. All the churches

In these meetings and worked in utter harmony
with Mrs. Hammond and each other The work
OF God has clearly been revived In connection with
these evangelistic labors and the whole com
munity quickened in religious life. From one
hundred and eighty to two hundred persons have
presented themselves in the inquiry room as in
quirers, and about ninety professed conversion.
Among these are several men in middle life, who
are heads Of families Entire families-father,
mother and children have been reclaimed from
sin and brought to Christ. The ages Of those
that have been reached vary from eight to seventy
years. Mrs. Henry Knowles, a Quakeress and

references from the phenomena of the sun, plan
cts and stars that the stereopticon threw upon
the canvas. Many Of the views were very beau
tiful and all Of them full of interest They were
pictures for the eye and cannot be put into words
for understanding. The protuberances Of the
sun or fiery streams shot up from It's body,
rose up, said the speaker, to the height Of forty
or fifty thousand miles and In one case they
reached two hundred thousand miles. Views OF
the moon and its landscapes were given with ex-
plantations Of Jupiter and Saturn, In regard 10
which recent observation gave ample grounds for
believing that the planet was still in state Of

SILVER WEDDING.-A fifty of the relatives
of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter d. Porter Of Fayston
thought it would be pleasant to have good
Thanksgiving dinner this year, but as that day
was followed by the twenty.ffth anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Porter's married life, they decided
to each contribute little towards a good dinner
and give the parties grand surprise. Accord
ingly they made the necessary preparation and as
sembled at this place on the 2Sth instant, at ten
O'Clock A. M, to the surprise Of both Mr.. and Mrs
Porter. They found him not talking lovingly
with his wife as most likely twenty-five years ago
would have found him, but down in his barn
threshing beans and his good wife hard at work
over her wash-tub. These things were in a short
time forsaken, and to the careful observer tears
could be seen starting from their eyes as they saw
at glance that they must surrender their happy
home and in a short time their house was filled
as never before. The pantry was soon filled with
the incest Of chickens, cakes, pies and puddings
and in another part Of the house table was laden
with tokens OF love and respect from their large
circle OF friends who had come in 80 surprisingly
upon them. Letters of good cheer and tokens of
remembrance were received from two brothers
and their families in New York After having
spent two full hours at Widespread tables, filled,
refilled and filled again, the party withdrew to
the large sitting-room, where, after singing by
the choir and prayer by Willard b. Porter, Esq,
the table laden with the numerous tokens of
friendship, was presented with few brief re-
marks and the best wishes Of all present. About
four o'clock the party broke up and the friends
took their.leave, hoping that this might long be
remembered as bright spot in their married life,
and that their future years may be filled with joy
and they at last be OF that number that shall be
called to the marriage supper Of the Lamb in the
kingdom of God, where joy will never cease, but
peace and perfect bliss reign forever and ever
