WAS IN the south AT MONDAY, ana the iuea
that took possession Of his young brain
was this 1.-THE sun is in the south and
ws must travel toward it to reach home"
Over and over to himself he conned this
lesson:
"rbe sun is in the south, and we must
travel toward it if we would reach home
AS certain as though his mother had
told him did he feel the truth OF these
words. Having them fully impressed up
ON his mind, he was calm and assured
1t must have been long past lnidnght
when he arrived Mt this state, but now ne
was content to sleep until morning, when
thew would set out on their homeward
way. Accordingly he replenished the hre'
then laid down and was soon lost IN
dreamless slumber
The sun was lighting the trees with its
earliest rays when he awoke. The hre
had burned low. and the air was cold and
frosty. He looked at his sleeping brother,
and nity made him hesitate for II r-oment
to wake him but not for long. Full OF the
hopeful thought that had filed his mind,
he was earer to communicate it to his
companion, so with n gentle touch he
aroused him. The boy awoke from
dreams of home, and looking around at
the dark forest, and at the ovcrhanging
rocks and as a realization of his present
state broke in upon him, the tears filed
his eyes and coursed down his cheeks.
"Don't cry" said Willie. 81 have
thought of plan by which we can get
home. You see the sun shining yonderf
Well the sun is always in the South, and
we have been travelling from it. Now, If
we go towards the sun, we shall, OF course
go towards home, so hurry, and let us be
oninp for we have M time to lose"

BY JENNIE JONES.

In the "American Sketch Book" Mrs.
Franch cives an incident. which is bv no
means solitary one except in this, that
few had a father or friend to help them in
their strait, but had to depend on their
own unaided exertions as best they might
"The first settlers were New York and
New England people, with an occasional
foreigner who at that early date had to
migrate over new and almost unsettled
country, on long journeys in covered
wagons, stopping when night overlook
them, by some spring by the mountain
side, or by some babbling brook that
would afford water for themselves, and
their cattle and horses, being weeks and
even months on the journey. They were
with few exceptions very poor, bringing
with them barely enough to feed and
clothe themselves until the first cabin
could be built and the first crop gathered
in. Industry and Economy have repaid
most Of these old pioneers with beautiful
homes, and surrounded them with nearly
all the Injuries of the east, they were
possessed with the determination that 9TH
ers had thus procured homes before them
and what others could do, they could and
would do also, and they did 30, as this
narrative will show before completed.
One example might illustrate the many
hardships that were endured by the first
to open up this beautiful country. One,
whose name will not mention, came from
Maine to seek home in the then far west,
and upon striking this country, made him
self claim in the shape of presumption,
and commenced improvements with moth
ing but his own hands with which to
labor Every furrow broken had to be
worked, for he had given hard labor to
some neighbor that would exchange with
him. After the land was broken, 1t be-
cane necessary to build fence, and nails
had to be got without team or wagon

ter the events narrated, he was arrested
and identified as being connected in the

thirty days Imprisonment in the county

within the limits Of the law. As soon as
the sentence was passed, tax was levied

was paid to his family during his impris-
