LAST OF THE MOHICANs.

ing coward, and fell into snare.
The cunning beaver may be caught"
AS Uncas thus replied, he pointed
with his finger towards the solitary
Huron, but without deigning to be-
stow any notice on SO unworthy an
object. The words of the answer and
the air of the speaker produced a
strong sensation among his auditors.
The more aged chiefs, in the cen
tire, communed with each other in
short and broken sentences. Again
long and deeply solemn pause took
place. The silence was finally
broken by the aged warrior. He
arose and moving past the immovable
form ol Uncas, placed himself in a
dignified attitude before the offender.
At that moment, a withered squaw
moved into the circle holding a torch
and muttering indistinct words of
what might have been an incarnation.
Though her presence was altog ether
an intrusion, it was unheeded.
Approaching Uncas, she held the
blazing brand in such manner as to
cast its red glare on his person, and
to expose the slightest emotion of his
countenance. The Mohican main
tanned his naughty attitude; and his
eye dwelt on the distance. Satisfied
with her examination, she left him,
with slight expression of pleasure,
and proceeded to practise the same
trying experiment on her delinquent
countryman.
The young Huron was in his war
paint. The light rendered every
limb and joint discernible, and Dun
can turned away in horror, when he
saw they were writhing in inexpress-
lble agony. The woman was COM
mencing low and plaintive howl,
when the chiefput forth his hand and
gently pushed her aside.
"Reedthat-bends," he said address
sing the young culprit by name;
though the Great Spirit has made
you pleasant to the eyes, 1t would
have been better that you had not
been born. Your tongue is loud in
the village, but in battle it is still.
None of my young men strike the
tomahawk deeper into the war-post
none Of them so lightly on the
Yengeese. The enemy know the
shape of your back, but they have
never seen the color of your eyes.
Three times have they called on you
to come, and as often did you forget
to answer. Your name will never be
mentioned again in your tribe-it is
already forgotten"
AS the chief slowly uttered these
words, pausing impressively between
each sentence, the culprit raised his
face, in Difference to the others rank
and years. Shame, horror, and pride
struggled in its lineaments. He arose
to his feet, and barring his bosom,
looked on the glittering knife, that
was already upheld by his inexorable
judge. As the weapon passed slowly
into his heart he even smiled, as if
in joy at having found death less
dreadful than he had anticipated, and
fell heavily on his face, at the feet OF
the unyielding Uncas.
The squaw gave loud and plant
i've yell, dashed the torch to the earth,
and buried everything in darkness.

Thus spoke the sage: the kings without delay
Dissolve the council, and their chief obey.
-Pope's Hiad.
A single moment served to convince
the youth that he was not alone. A
hand was laid on his arm, and the low
voice of Uncas muttered in his cars
"The Hurons are dogs. The sight
Of coward's blood can never make q

OF the fact that a large number of able

thus been added to the edible wealth
