 break an old mans heart," said the land- lord, weeping.

 "Whew!" said the hunter; "IeOrs from you-they come like drops of blood from your heart"

 "Hunter," said Boniface, "T did you bad turn once but will do you good one now"

 "Ah, you are now too late with your good deeds. Bait in season, and with raal grain, when you would catch cartridges, but don't scatter it too far from your moose your daughter must go with me-" The landlord fndingall entrcaty in vain, called his daughter, who came wh"lly un- conscious of the part sine had yet in this tragedy. Upon entering, and learning the cause of her presence being required, she burst into tears; and throwing herself at the hunters fee, ,besought him to leave her behind but as she knelt beside him, these words, whispered in her car-Jones waits for you-reconciled her to the mode of jouIneying. The landlord, astonished at his daughters willingness to leave the warm shelter of his roof to wander through the dark forests, began to reproach her {; but whisper in his ear, that she was going out for the best, eased his mind little, and soon the two left, and were seen by the landlord to enter thicket to the left of the inn. He,atter bidding her God speed, threw himself upon his couch, and soon lost his sorrows in gentle slumbers.

 The two passing through the thick woods, now tracing the path through an almost impenetrable swamp, and then dri- wing off from their forward course,at length reached ravine; and, as they sat upon a log, resting their weary limbs, the report of musket was heard. On Eliza's looking at her companion, she saw him stretched out dead upon the snow! Fear then sei- zed upon her frame, but it was turned into joy when she saw the we'll known features of her lover, who upon learning from her father the foregoing circumstances, had tracked them. He looked long for an ex- plantation of her willingness to leave him. Upon hearing her story through, he ex. claimed, "cursed villany has been here J" -and upon examining the hupter's pocket, he found paper signed by a French offi- cer, agreeing to give him fifty guineas up- on the safe delivery of the landlords daughter into his hands.

 "The riddle is expounded," said the young man. "Eliza, we must seek your fathers house, ,and persuade him to remove to the village" They reuaced their steps, leaving the dead hunter welter:ng in his gore, and arrived in safety.

 The joy ofthe honest publican was com- plete, as he saw his Eliza welded to her generous preserver. Some days afterwards new sign was seen to grace the village of Schenectady, bearing the name of David Jones, in large gilt capitals. The old man for many years amused the frequent visi- tors of the inn with the particulars of his daughter's capture but when questioned who the hunter was, he stared wildly, and pronounced the name of TEcUMsEH.

 4 good sentiment, elegantly expressed. Pleasure is to woman what the sun is to the flower; if moderately enjoyed, it beau tifies, it refreshes, and it improves; if im- moderately, it withers, desolates, and de- stroys. But tho duties of domestic life, exercised as they must be in retirement, and calling forth the sensibilities "f the female, are perhaps as necessary to the full development of her charms, as the shade and the shower are to the rose, con- frming it's beauty and increasing its fra- grance.-Lacon. -

 Like worldly treasures, our best friends are sometimes deceitful for as riches and honor will flee, and leave man powerless -so those that arc apparently our friends, will often forsake us in times of danger and distress. When we choose friend we ought to select one upon whom we can rely in all situations of life. If wo are in affiuence, in our reverses of fortune he may relieve or oven comfort US. Liable to the tossing influence offortune, it seems to have been, in the beginning, ordained by Providence, that human nature should be supplied with staff to support him friend to relieve him in diversity, and comfort him in affliction. ...

 There is total inconsistency and great public evil in blghting the early fruits of education. after they have been cultivated by the spirit of our free institutions. We admire early talent, we almost worship gen. ius,-but woe be,ide the young man, who, in political life, shall exhibit them. Like inc Taruuin Brutus. he had better feign
