We turned back within the lines of the camp, where the shots had also been heard, and in- terpreted as the advance of Clinch’s brigade attacking the Indian out- posts in the rear. We found the troops already mustered in battle- ‘array, and preparing to issue forth from the Stockade. Ina few mi- nutes, the order was given, and the army marched forth, extending it- self rapidly both right and left along the bank of the river. As soon as the formation ._was complete, the line advanced. 'The tr00ps were burning for re- venge.

Half-bewildered, I reined up my horse. I strained my eyes over the landscape-â€"-in vainâ€"no house. Had I taken the wrong road, or wasl looking in the wrong di- rection? Noâ€"-no. There stood the giant tulip-tree, that marked the emboucliure of the path. There stretched the savanna; beyond it the home-fields, of indigo and maize ; bcvond these the dark wood- knoll of the hammock ; but beyond this last there was nothing-riothing I could recognise. The whole landscape appeared to have undergone a change. From what Iliad already learn- ed, the spectacle was easy of com- prehension. It caused no new emo- tion either of surprise or pain. I was not capable of strilbr‘ing more. Again putting my horse to his speed, I gallode across the fields towards the scene of desolation. As I neared the spot, I could perceive the forms of men moving about through the smoke. "here appeared to be fifty or a hundred of them. Their motions did not betokon excitement. Only a few were moving at all, and these with leisurely gait, that told they were not in action. The rest stood a but littleiinigroups. in lounging attitudes, levrdently more spectators of the conflagration. They were making no attempt to extingmsh the flames, which I now observed mingling with the smoke. A few were rush- ing to and fr'oâ€"vmost of them on horsebackâ€"apparcritly in the en- deavour to catch some horses and cattle, that, having escaped from the burnt enclosure, were galloping over the fields neighing and lowing. One might have fancied that the men around the fire were those who had causcdit; and for a moment such an idea was in my mind. The messenger had said that the foray had just taken place-â€" that very morning at daybreak.~â€"â€" It was alll had heard, as I hurried away. It was yet earlyâ€"scarcely an hour after sunriseâ€"~for we had been travelling by night to avoid the hot hours. Were the savages still upon the groundl Were these men Indians? In the lurid light, amidst the smoke, chasing the cattle-was if With the intention of driving them offâ€"the conjecture was probable enough. Perhaps they had gone, and returned again to collect the booty, and fire the buildings? For an instant, such fancies were before my mind. Vengeance had made me mad. Even had I been certain that the dark forms before me were those of the murderers, I was determined to dash forward into their midst, and perish upon the body of a sav- age- I was not alone. The black was at my heels; and close be- hind, I could hear the clattering hoofs of the hunters’ horses. We gallopcd up to the selvidge of the smoke. The deception was at an end. . I pulled up by the fire. and dismounted from my horse: men gathered around me with looks of deep meaning. They were speech- lessâ€"«no one uttered a word. All saw that it was a tale that needed no telling. ' I was myself the first to speak. In a voice so husky as scarcely to be heard, I inquired : ‘ Where 1’ The interrogatory was under- stoodâ€"it was anticipated. One had already taken me by the hand, and was leading me gently around the fire. He said nothing, but pointed towards the h0mmock.~r- Unresistinglyl walked by his side. As we neared the pond, I ob- served a larger group than any I had yet seen. They were standing in a ring, with their faces turned inward, and their eyes bent upon the earth. I knew she was there. My poor mother! Those glassy eyes would never smile upon me againâ€"~those pale lips would nei- ther chide nor cheer me more. I could control my emotions no longer. I burs: into tears; and, falling upon the earth, flung {my arms around the corpse, and kissed the cold mute lips oflrer who had given me birth. TO THE TRAIL. It-was no time to indulge grief. Where was my sister? sprang to my feet, as I gave wild utterance to the intcrr'ogatory. It was answered only by signs. Those around me pointed to the forest. the savages had borne her away. Up to this hour I had. felt no hostility towards the red men; on the contrary, my sentiments had an opposite inclination. If not friendship for them, Ihad felt something akin to it. I was con- scious of the many wrongs they had endured, and were now endur- ing at the hands of our people.--- I knew that in the end they would be conquered, and must submit. I had felt sympathy for their unfortu-i hate condition. It was , gone. Tire sight of my murdered mother produced an instantaneous char) Ure in my age was supplanted by fierce hosti- lity. Her blood called aloud for vengeance, and my heart was eager to obey the summons. As I rose to my feet, I registered vows of vengeance. I stood not alone. Old chl - man and his fellow-hunter were at my back, and fifty others joined their voices in a promise to aid me in the pursuit. ‘Black Jake was fecr‘gs ; and sympathy for the sav- tion. He too had sustained his loss. Viola was nowhere to be found---she had been carried oil with the other domestics. Some may have gone voluntarily, but all were absentâ€"«all who were not dead. The plantation and its people had no longer an existence. I was homeless as well as mother,- less. Tlicre was no time to be wast- ed in idle sorrowing; immediate action was required, and determin- ed upon. the ground armed and ready, and a few minutes sufliced to prepare for the pursuit. A fresh horse was procured for myself; others for the compaâ€" nions of my late journey; and after snatching a breakfast hastily pre- pared, we mounted, and struck off upon the trail of the savages. It was easily followed, for the murderers had been mounted, and their horses’ tracks betrayed them. They had gone some distal: up the river before crossing, and II U then swam their horses over to the Indian side. did the some.

Do not speak of great virtues in another man's wife, to remind your own of a fault. Do not reproach your wife’s personal defects, for it she has sensi- bility, you inflict a wound difficult to heal.

If one would always have a sweet mouth and a clean tongue, he can secure them both by simply ceasing to overlzrx his stomacl‘i.
