rude habitation, his face partly concealed in his hand, on which his head was resting. His

wife was beside! him, her delicate arm white

in the twilight as the silvery bark 'of the lofty

poplar trees which surrounded their cabin gently wreathed around his neck, and her

sweet voice conversing with him in a low

soothing tone, as if desirous to dispel the me

mories that were thronging through his mind.

The sister of William w as at a little distance

from him engaged in teaching the younger of

the bovs, while the elder, just beyond the en

in my enumeration.

"Look yonder, look yonder, aunt Suran !'

cried the merrv urchin who w as romping in

recognized, by her tall person, dignified de

the general and strong resemblance of her countenance, as the sister of the Squatter. Of the children, the elder, about seven year of nge, partook in a large degree of his father's characterises; and the younger, not

fertile prairies in Illinois, and in the midst of a grove of Btately locust trees, the foliage of which, in the summer season almost hid it from the sight, there stood a few years ago, (and it stands there still, no doubt, unless the prairie fires have reached it. and consumed its perishab.e walls) a little log-cabin, so humble and lowly in its outward arrearance, that it scarce

of the forest, the lofty and leafv branches of

which, as soon as the sun attained the meridi an, cast over it a deep and ajreeable shade.

Behind the cottage at the distance of about a hundred vards. a rivulet meandered in many

curious windings through the level bottom

land of the woods, denominated, not uiiAptly,

from the glittering translucence of its current,

Silver Stream. Unlike most of the brooks and rivers of that savanna country, which are

usually stagnant during the warmest months

of the year, the limpid tide of this one contin

sultry afternoons of summer a delightful richness, and gratifying the ear with its melodious flow. In front of the cottage, an immense prairie extended itself as far as the eye could reach, its surface smooth and unbroken as

of its "appearance; but as the season varied

made in vain; and that those very flowers

which smile away their btief existence in un

man, are wisely intended to counteract or di

causes of the dreadful epidemics which some

times spread disease and death through that

luxurious region.

The cabin itself was rudely constructed of

ur.hewn logs, Jthe interstices between were

filled with small blocks of wood and mortar

The roof was of rough oaken shingles, and in

stead of being secured with nails; long poles placed upon it at regular intervals, and lengthwise of the building, served to keep them in their places. The house had but one door and window, the latter furnished, (an uncommon thing in that wilderness country) with panes of glass. A small inclosure in front of the humble edifice was cultivated as a flower garden; and the neatness with which it was kept, and the taste displayed in the arrangement of buds, and disposing to the -best advantage the few varieties of flowers and shrubs it contained, evinced it was the work of woman's dtlicate hand. There were no out houses, nor was there need for any; for the dweller in that secluded and lowly abode had neither oxen, nor hones, nor lands, nor earthly riches of any kind unless indeed we may class under that head a wife and two fine and promising boys. If thesa be, treasures, he was indeed rich, for never was husband blessed with a more lovely or loving wife, and never did the prayer of a father ascend to heaven in behalf of a more filial offspring. But besides these he had nothing absolutely nothing. He was what is denominated in the language of the territory in which he resided, a Squatter; or in other words, one who, without permission resided on and cultivated lands belonging to lhe United States. The Squatter was a tall, well formed man, apparently about twenty-two or three years of age. His countenance indicated manliness and intelligence; and though a shade of sadness and care dwelt almost always upon it, there were times when his dark blue eyesbeeanat lighted op Uh uneemftten vivacity. 1

pensate for the deficiency of longitude in the nasal member, expanded themselves for a good

inch beyond the usual proportion, till the lower one, of its own weight, curled over on the

chin, presenting to view a row of substantial

teeth, as white as driven snow. The form of

glance in the direction pointed out by the boy

succeeded by a deeper tinge of crimson on her

face, as she perceived that there was indeed a

traveller on the prairie, who had left the road

a prying and pettifogging lawyer who resided

in the same village, and who with a degree of

impertinent curiositv peculiar to the lowest

members of his profession, had several times endeavored to penetrate the mystery which

shrouded the circumstances of the Squatter.

in a human bosom. It was in the spring season of the year that my story commences. The brief winter of the delightful climate in that part of our country in which I place my scene, .had passed away, and the first glance of the genial sunbeams had waked inanimate nature from its chilly torpor. The silvery waters of the little stream, which glided at a short distance behind the log-cabin I have partially described, had

cast off their chain of ice, and once more went gurgling and singing on their way through the forest. The stately trees the oak, the sycamore, the cotton tree, and all the thousand varieties which mingle their many hued foilage in one immense mass of verdure in our western woods seemed swelling with conscious, life as the south wind dallied around them; and all nature began to assume an appear nice of bloom, like the cheek of a young maiden, when the interval of anxious suspense is past, and she hears the amatory declarations of her lover. Before the cottage, the prairie still wore its wintry appearance; for the tall grass that clothed it had escaped the fires

which usually kindled either by accident or design spread over their surface during the autumn, destroying whatever they encounter

in their progress. The withered herbage rus

tled as thebree.ee passed over it, and presented a vast sea of wavy undulations, not unlike those which agitated the bosom of the ocean. The forest which fringed the opposite side, was scarcely risible from its distance; and seemed to a fanciful view, like the dim green

outline which the weary mariner rejoices to descry upon the verge of the deep, because it

speaks of a termination of his wanderings, and is rife with a thousand heart-hoarded associations. In the little enclosure that surrounded the cottage of our Squatter, the forward flowers and plants already began to reward the assiduous and delicate hand that nurtured them; and the opening buds as they expanded their leaves to greet the morning sun, effused a delightful odour on the breeze, a if in grateful return for the care they had received. Such ws the Mate of things on the evening of the delightful spring day on which we commence our narativc. The sun had set in cloudless majesty behind the extensive forest.

on the edge of which was situated the cabin of

William Wilson, (the name by which the Squatter was designated) and the lengthened shadows of the lofty trees reached far above the prairie like the thoughts of age "repinitig towards the past." The family group w as assemble! around the door of their humble dwelling, conversing in a tone that seemed to

partake somewhat of the twilight softness of

the hour. The mind of the Squatter, like the shadow of his own person, as a straggling gleam of the setting sun fell on it, stretched itself far back towards the morning of life, and his brow wore au expression which plainly told that tht tnbjset of his meditations was

The object of the Squatter's biting remark

had by this time drawn near to the enclosure

He was a short, thin man, of rather a cadat er

ous complexion, with blue eyes which turned

aside with a quirk and restless expression.

His face was lean and wrinkled, his nose Ion

and sharp, and his hair of a reddish cast, close

lv shaven, and combed down with the utmost

precision. In form he was muscular, hi

shoulders were broad and square, and his leg

which were clad in pantaloons that fitted tigh

ly to the flesh, were long, bony anddispropor

tinned. On his head he wore a hat which had

evidently seen much service, for it had been in

constant use until net a fibre of the nap was

left, and had acquired, from long exposure t

wind and weather, a hue almost is red as the

hair which it covered. He was dressed in

a suit of course apparel, which seemed scarcely more modern than the beaver, exhibiting as it did in every seam, and indeed in every part of the threadbare surface, the ravages of the brush. As soon as he succeceed in checking the speed of his horse, and breaking him into a gait that allowed him the use of his lungs, he cried out in a tone meant to be conciliatory, "How d'do, how d'do neighbor Wilson. Glad to see you. Stopped this way to have a little pleasant chat, and hear what news are stirring. Hope your family is all well." "My family is well," replied William Wilson, "and as for newt, I have none to communicate that would make it worth your while to dismount." "Must alight must alight," said the talkative lawyer, at the same time getting down from the saddle, and throwing the bridle over one of the stakes of the enclosure. "Have rode my animal hard and must rest awhile. Can't stay long, going to the upper country to court. Full of business always busy. Any thing to do in my line, happy to .attend to it. Charges moderate." "I have no occasion for your advice at the present time," responded the Squatter as he led the way into the house, evidently displeased at being forced to act the part of host whether he would or not. The lawyer followed him, with a short quick step, casting a furtive glance around on every article in the apartment he was entering; actuated by that intense and restless curiosity w hich was one of his strongest characteristics. Snug cabin you have got here, Mr.Williams very snug cabin for a Sqvatter." A blush to the forehead of William Wilson at being thus uncourtuouly addressed by the appellation whiehhe Icnew was generally applied, in the language of the country, to per

sons who like himself had settled on the pub

lic lands; but he endeavored to suppress the emotion as he answered, . . "Yes, Mr. Facias, seven years of incessant toil have collected some few comforts around me, and enabled me to give some little appearance of snugnesj to the interior of my

the Governor has issued a proclamation, doub

ling the reward formerly offered for his apprehension. It is thought thst he cannot much;

longer elude the vigilance of the defeated law." The lawyer was here interrupted by a

shriek from Eleanor, who trembling in every limb, and pale as a statue, had fainted in the arms of the Squatter. From the time that he commenced reading,

her attention had been fastened on him with

ncreasing agitation, until her overwrought

mind could no longer endure the struggle of

er emotions, and she had sunk insensible on

the bosom of her husband. From some cause

or other, (probably anxiety occasioned by the

ituation of his partner,) William seemed also

laboring under deep emotion. The blood had

forsaken his lips, and drops of perspiration

tood upon his forehead. His sister, scarce

less agitated, had rushed into the apartment

when the faint scream of Eleanor reached her

ear, and as she cast a rapid glance around on

he different members of the group, an eye

skilled in the language of the countenance

might have detected the struggle of very complicated and contrary feelings. The whole

group presented a scene of confusion and dis

tress which words are not edequate correctly to describe.

"Bless me!" cried the astonished lawyer,

bustling about and gathering up his papers,

"bless met what have I done?"

"Nothing!" sternly responded the quivering

voice of the Squatter. "It is a complaint to

which my wife is sometimes liable; she will shortly recover."

Eleanor now opened her eves, and casting

them wildly around, muttered a few incoher

ent words, the purpqrt of which the lawyer s quick ears were not able to glean. Her senses,

however, seemed suddenly to return to her,

and rising from the recumbent posture into

which she had sunk, and assuming a languid

smile, she excused herself in a faint voice, to

Mr. Facias, on the plea of sudden indisposition, and retired from the apartment. The lawyer now rose to depart but not before he had again

unfolded the newspaper, and cast anolher

glance over the passage that had created such

a general sensation. His eyes wandered once

or twice from the paper to the person of the Squatter, and their little, blue, and ever mov

ing orbs gleamed with something like sinister expression, as if he were satisfied with the re

sult of his scrutiny

"Mr. Wilson,"said he, as the former followed him to thedoor,"you have been in this country, I believe, about seven years?" Yes, sir," responded the other, in a tone of voice meant to suppress further inquiry. "You have a negro man, named Mungo, who came to this country with you?" "Mr. Facias," said the Squatter, drawing up

his tall and handsome person to its full height. "I do not choose to be interrogated in relation to my private circumstances. From the sudden indisposition of my w ife, which you have witnessed, you must be aware thtt I have no time to devote to the gratification of idle curiosity; and if you have any thing of importance besides your inquiries, you must pursue them in a different channel. I bid you good evening, sir." The baflled lawyer mounted his horse, and turned his head towards the road by which he had lately arrived at the cabin. "I thought you were on yoir way to the upper settlement," said William, in a manner that betrayed considerable anxiety.

"I have changed my mind," was the brief

reply. "And do you mean to return to Edgarton tonight?" "Mr. Wilson has become the interrogator now," responded Facias with a sneer. "But I am more communicative than he, and answer that I do."
