The stem command proved that: there wi‘re strong‘doubts about the fealty of the yellow chief, and the warriors of Oceola appeared to share the suspicious of their leader. The patriot party had suffered from defections of late. Some of the smaller clans, wearied of fight- ing, and wasted by a long season of famine, had-followed the example of the tribe Omatla, and delivered themselves up at the fort. Though, in the battles .liitl‘ierto fought, the Indians had generally been suc- cessful, they knew that their white foemen far outnumbered them, and that in the (ilgtl the latter must triâ€" umph. The spirit of revenge, for wrongs long endured, had Stimu: latcd them at the first. ; but they had obtained full measure of vengeance, and were content. Love of country â€"-at achmcnt to their old homesâ€"- mere patriotism was now balanced against the dread of almost complete annihilation. The latter weighed heaviest in the, scale. The War-spirit was no longer in the ascendant. Perhaps, at this time, had overtures of peace been made, the Indians would have, laid down their arms, and consented to the removal. Even Oceola could scarcely have prevented their ac? ceptani-e ot' the conditions; and it was doubtful whether he would have made the attempt. Gifted with genius, Willi full knowledge of the strength and Character ofthe enemy, he must have foreseen the disasters that were yet to befall his followers and his nation, It could not he olhcrwise. Was it a gloomy forecast of the future that imparted to him that melancholy air, now so observable both in his words and acts? Was it this, or was there a still deeper sor- rowâ€"the anguish of a hopeless pas- sion-â€" the drum heart longing for a love he might never hope to obtainl To me, it was a moment of strong emotion, as the young chief approached tlicspot where my sister was seated. Even then was I the' victim of unhappy suspicions ; and Willi eager scrutiny, I scanned the countenances of both as they met. Surely, I was wronging both. On neither couldl detect a trace of ought that should give me uneasi- ness. The bearing of the chief was simply gallant and respectful.

Oceola at once recognised the document ; it was the title-deeds of his patrimonial estate. "Thanl... thanks i’ he replied, while a sad smile played upon his lips. ‘It is indeed an act of disin- terested friendship; Alzzsl it has come *too late.

We were seated near the edge of the little opening where we had encampedâ€"a pretty parterre, fragrant with the perfume of a thou- sand flowers. The moon was shed- ding down a flood of silvery light, and objects around us appeared al- most as distinctly as by day. The leaves of the tall palms, the waxen flowers of the magnolias, the yellow blossoms of the zanthoxylon trees, could all be distinguished in the clear moonbeams. The four of us were seated to. getherâ€"brothers and sisrersâ€"conA versing freely as in the olden time ; and the scene vividly recalled the past to us all. ' .'

Oceola, held by two men, stood in the midst of his pale-faced foesâ€"a prisoner. His followers were also secured ; and the soldiers fell back into a more extended lineâ€"enclosing the captives in their midst. At this moment a man ap- peared in front of the ranks, and near to where the prisoners were standing. He was in conversation with the officer who commanded. His dress bespoke him an Indian; but his yellow face contradicted the supposition. His head was tur- baned. and three black plumes droop- ed over his brow. There was no mistaking the man. The sight was maddenino‘t It restorel all his fierce energy to the Seminole chief; and, flinging aside the soldiers as if they had been chil- dren, he sprang forth from their grasp, and bounded towards the yellow man. Fortunate for the latter. Oceola was unarmed. He had no weapon left himâ€"neither pistol nor knife; and, while wringing his bayonet from the gun of a soldier, the trailer found time to escape. The chief uttered a groan, as he saw the miscreant, pass through the serried line, and stand secure beyond the reach of his vengeance. It was but a fancied security on the part of the renegade. His death had heen decreed. though it reached him from an unexpected quarter. ’As he stood outside, and fac:~ ing towards the captives, a dark form was seen gliding up from be- hind. It was that of a womanâ€"a majestic womanâ€"whose g‘rand beauty was VlSlble even in' the moonlight, though no one saw eilher her or her beatity. The prisoners alone were fronting towards her, and observed her approach. ‘ ' i It was a scene of only‘ a few seconds’ duration. The woman stole slose up to the mulalto, and for a moment her arms appeared entwined around his neck. There was the'sheen of some object that in the moonlight gleamed like metal. It was a living weaponâ€"it was the dread crotalus. ' The rattle could be hegrd dis- tinctly; and close following rose a Wild cry of terror as its victim felt the cold contact of the reptile around his neck, and its sharp fangs entering his flesh. The woman was seen suddenly to withdraw the serpent; and holding its glistening body over hep head, she cried aloud : ' ‘Grie‘ve not, Oceolaâ€"thou art ayenged! avenged! the chittamico has alienated you.’ Saying this, the woman glided rapidly away; and before the astqnished listehers could cut off her retreat, she had entered among lhe bushes, and disappeared. ‘ The horror-struck muldtto stag~ ger'ed over the ground,‘pale and terrified. his eyes almost starting from their sockets.

END OF ocsonn. Miss MARTINEAU ON DIET.-- The greatest amount or nourishment of poth kinds is contained in flour,‘ meat, potatoes, and pease ; milk, l cheese, rice, and qther grains, andl sugar ; while tea, coffee and cocoa are of great value in their way. Such are the materials; but they may be so treated {ii the cooking as to waste what is most valuable, and preserve what is ofthe least conse- quence. It is possible to manage the making ol :1 stew, so as to wash away the best qualities ofthe meat, and leave the vegetables hard, and drain away the thickening, causing: a predominant taste of smoke andl salt. When Miss Nightingale and her assistants undertook to cook in the Eastern hospitals. they made a pint of thick arrowroot from one ounce of the powder. while in the general kitchen it took two ounces to make a pint of thin arrowroot. It was the proper boiling of the wa- ter that made the; difference here. Again, two ounces of rice were sav-l ed on every four puddings when the nurses made the puddings. Such incidents show that it is not enough to have the best materials for near; ishment ; they must be husbanded in the preparation.
