It is a melancholy reflection that the thoughts of sadness are infrequent and transitory only in the bosoms of the young. The day of lite, unlike the natural day, is seldom obscured in its early morning by many clouds, but they gather as the sua progresses towards the me

ridian, and the evening is too often shrouded in storm. But let me not be considered as induing in reprehensible sadness; for these are musings that naturally crowd the mind of an old man in looking back to

....... ...... Urged by a natural impulse, the inmates of the cabin moved towards the door. The scene wnich presented itself was one of the utmost grandeur. It had been already observed that

the wind blew in fresh gust along the wide

prairie, causing ":the decayed gTass and herbage of the previous autumn to undulate like the billows of the ocean. Those only vho have witnessed the devastating fires which either in the fall or spring season of the year,

turned to retrace his steps. At this moment

he beheld his son. A cold chill thrilled through his heart. j 'Turn back!" he cried in frenzy, as he staggered along beneath his burden, "turn back! turn bark'." The boy, unheeding this monition, continued

to advance, and the foot of the father, his strencth unnerved by the terrible conflict of

his feelings, and his 6ten baffled by the ine-' about assenting to the proposition of the non

through the clouds, and life, after having ; been agitated by passiom, and shaded by afflictions, sets in brightness and peace at last. From a feverish and sleepless couch, Wilson arose with an aching head and throbbing heart. The seclusion of his abode had been penetrated; the dreadful secret, over which he had watched with dreadful anxiety, had been well nigh discovered; and the suspicions which were excited might yet lead to a catastrophe frosa which his miud reverted with horror. His gentle partner, who, by a strong effort.

had subdued her own emotions, that she might

the more effectually assist in calming the agi

tated teelmgs ol the 5s juatter, endeavored to turn his thoughts from the dark subjects on which they brooded; but he knew better than

she, the dangerous situation in which the cu

riosity of Facias had placed him, and shuddered as he contemplated the length to which the lawyer might be led by his awkward cupidity. Muujo, who had been absent during the occurrences of the previous evening, but who

saw, on his return, with the instinctive perspicacity of a well and lor.? tried attachment, the perilous situation of affairs, also manifested, by the deeper and duller hue which his countenance assumed, the more than usual protuberance of his nether lip, and the unwonted gravity of his general demeanor, his apprehension of the consequences which might ensue.

The frugal morning repast was spread as usual; but the .corn bread smoked upon the board, and the nutritious substitute for coffee

which Eleanor, with woman's ready skill and invention, ;had decocted from certain fruits

that she cultivated in her garden sent up its fragrant steam in jvain. Even the children seemed to partake of the general anxiety, and

their playmate Fompey walked about with

earth for a moment retarded their pro-

; ', they would pause for an instant, like a warrior in the midst of a hot pursuit, stooping from Lis charger to inflict a death-blow on

some cowering enemy. T ,ien, as if the pur

pose of delay had bjen accomplished, they

would sweep along again with the desolating fury, roaring and crackling like the triumphant exultation of an innumerable host, maddened

with victory and drunk with slaughter

Dense and pitchv volumes of smoke already

filled the air, completely obscuring the clear azure of the mornig skv. The sun looked

through these ascending and revoh ing clouds of vapor, very and red, and the air quivered,

like the cai iJi colore a volcano, with the in

tense heat which spread through it.

'Great God1." exclaimed Wiliiam, whose eyes and thoughts had been changed by the

terno.e magnificence of the scene, but who

new imagined that he saw, amid the red and

Kiekering mass, a small, black, moving object

"Great God'." exclaimed he, "yonder is a

I traveller spurring his steed with furious haste,

n the vain hope to escape the fiery element

He will be burnt to death."

1 1 see him! I see him!" cried Eleanor, in ag

ony, whose eves had followed her husband :

he is mounted on a goodly steed, but his

strength seems well nigh exhausted."

"And now the fires have reached the lugti

and dry spot by yonder point of woods, hi:

fate is certain," cried xer husband rushing

forth

"'Tis 'Squire Blandley!" exclaimed one of

the boys: "I know by i.is black horse 'tis

'Squire Blandley!"

Susan, who, till she learned that a travel

ler's life was endangered, had gazed upon the

flames as an ordinary occurrence, with a mind too much occupied by other events to permit

her fully enjoying the grandeur of the specta

gravity entirely different from his usual frolic cIe now shed forth Then the announcement

,:Be not so cast down, William;" said the excellent wife of the Squatter; "all will yet go well. Let your trust be in Him who has already rescued you from a more terrible danger, and who will not suffer the guiltless to peri?h." 'Eleanor, that I am guiltless heaven knows; but am I not branded as a murderer and a fugitive from the laws? What hope is there now, after so many years have elapsed, that I shall be able to untie the gordian knot of circumstances which have been fastened around me, when I failed to do so before, aided as I was. by a character well established, and by the prayers and co-operation of those who had known me from my childhood up?

"taiihtul JIi ngo," said the master of the

faithful domestic, "it was by your rea ly hand that I was before delivered from impendins

death, and circumstances fully authorize the fear that your kindly assistance, in a similar

way. may once more be required. But if I

should be apprehended of what avail would it

be to rescue me? since, without mnnev, and

without the means of commanding any facili

ties, I must surely be retaken, only to be more

strongly incarcerated. Oh Eleanor." continued he, "but for these dear children, I could

find it in my heart to wish that we miaht lie

reached her ear, her heart bursting with the

fearful interest which it excited. She cast a hurried glance along the broad front of the devouring flames, which, having reached the summit of the acclivity, were at this time raging with incredible fury, and sending revolving masses of flickering fire to the clouds.

Her orbs seemed almost starting from her

head as they glanced from one end of the ad

vancing wall of fire to the other; at length they

encountered an object; the person was too

much enveloped in the smoke to be recognized even by the quick eye of love; but she knew the prancing of the steed she staggered towards the door; but her limbs tottered beneath her. her senses reeled, and she sunk fainting into the arms of her sister. Mungo's soul was too much absorbed in

what was passing the prairie, to admit of be

ing moved by this occurrence. The elder boy had followed his father beyond the enclosure.

and was now running in his foot-steps towards

the traveller, whose horse seemed near to

dropping from the combined efforts of terror

and fatigue.

"Dev'll both be lost." cried he. while large

drops of sweat stood upon his ebony lace.

"Massa," roared he, in a voice meant to be very loud, but scarcely articulate from the excess of his motion "Massa, what for vou be

damn fool?" forfeiting respect in theextremi ty of the occasion "Come back! you too mas

si Charles. Dere!" continued he, as a shoot

ol flame ascended high through the air. with a

loud crackling noise, like a volley of musqiiC'

try fired in quick succession "Dere, I tol' you so; why you no come back? pray come

back, Massa. But the voice of Mungo, hoarse with agony, either did not reach the ears for which it was

intended, or otherwise was disregarded. By

this time, the traveller and the Squatter had approached within a hundred yards of each other, and the fire was roaring and raging, at

a much less distance than that, behind the for

mer, and advancing with a rapidity that seem

ed to preclude all hone. Poor Mungo, in the

anguish of his mind, bit this lips till the blood

flowed profuselv, and swung his long arms a

bout like a mad-man. But all at once he ceas

ed, and rushed into the cabin. A thought

seemed to have struck him; in less than an in

statu he darted out of the door again, with:

huge brand of fire in his hand, and rushing

into the woods'with a velocity greater than one would have believed possible, he was quickly

lost to sight.

In the meanwhile the fire continued to rage

with unabated furv, sometimes, as it reached

a place which .had been marked, during the preceding summer, with greater lertiliiy than

the rest, rising in the air as high as the mast of

a tall admiral; at others, when the wind blew a strong gust, sweeping the wide range with

a speed that defies description. The Squatter,

and completely hid the prostrate forms fiom

sight. The state of Eleanor, whose eyes were

riveted with frantic energy on the spot where

her husband had disappeared, may be better imagined than described. She did not shriek she din not faint; but leaning, in marble fixedness against the door, unable to move or

breathe, awaiting in awful suspension, for the volume of smoke to roll away. The flames

continued to drive on, their roar and crackling

sounding on her ear with an increased and ter

rible loudness. In vain, as her boy, with instinctive fear, clung to her garments, did her

eve endeavor to penetrate the lurid mass,

which now seemed to her agitated apprehen

sion, to have reached the spot where th de

voted bquatter fell. Again the wind lulled, and a fresh burst of vapor rolled along the

ground. At this crisis, a loud shout reached her through the suffocating canopy, sounding on her heart like the death-shriek of her part

ner. As if in confirmation of the agonizing

apprehension, the flames now shot up in sever

al places nearer to her, by many yards, as her

eye too surely knew, than the spot where he

fell. Nature could no longer endure the strug

gle of conflicting emotions; and she sunk.with-

out an audible exclamation, pale and breath

less to the earth.

But the event had been other than it seem

ed from the point of view which the anxious

wife had occupied. Mungo. wiih the 6agL:tj

of arou sed affection, had ruhed directly ir.tr

the forest with the flaming brand, with which, we lately saw him leave the cabin, and running along in the edge of the woods, where the moisture of the ground prevented the fire from penetrating; he at length emerged again into the prairie, a few feet in front of the rapidly advancing flames. His quick eye discerned his master just as he fell. Hastening towards him, and snatching up the boy in his progerss, he assisted him to'iecover his feet.

Without speaking a word, he then applied his brand, in many different places, to the grass before them, which was quickly enveloped in one wide sheet of fire. The flames behind came roaring on; but those before spread with

equal velocity. Lifting the still insensible

stranger on his shoulder, Mungo now led the

I boy, and treading cn the part of the soil left

bare and blackened by the flames, they close-

behind them a wide strip of naked earth to

protect them from that which was advancing. As the latter reached the place where Mungo's

conflagration began, and gradually, as the last

vestige of herbage was consumed, sunk dow n and smouldered away, the honest negro sent

op the shout .of exultation, which had been differently construed by the agonized Eleanor.

The little plantation of the Squatter was pro

tected from the devo iring element by a precaution which settlers in our prairie countries

usually take. A strip of gr:i, t urnunuimg the

fences had been previously dest roved, when he flames reached which, they could go no

farther in that direction, but the main body

continued its devasiating progress along the

prairie, till it at last was onlr seen as a distant

glimmering light on the verge of the horizon.

On the arrival of Wilson at his cottage, the

stranger wr.s placed on a couch, and consign

ed to the charge of Mungo, while the Squat

ter himself bent over his insensible wife, and

busie himself in restoring her suspedded ani

mation. When she at length opened her eyes and became aware that her husband and child

had not perished in the fl imrs, but were plan-

ding well and unharmed before her, the de

lighted consciousness was near proving too

much for her exhausted strength, agitated as

she had been during lhe few past hours wiih

such various and Irving emotion. At first she

I ilked wildly and incoherently, but the fever

ish flutter of her feelings at length subsided

into a lovous calm; and she poured out to

Heaven the thankfulness of her heart in un

worded praver, while the tears in the dark

eyes of Susan, now also recovered, told more

emphatically than words could have done, the

big and unspeakable emotions of her bosom.

But the joy which animated every breast,

on account of this unlooked for deliverance,

was destined to be of short "ontinnance. The

eventful day was 3 et to ' e marked with other trials. About noon two horsemen were seen

riding along the prairie in the direction of the

Squjwter's low ly abode, in one of w hom the

quick eyes of apprehension soon recognized

the lawyer, whose threatning visit Wilson

had so much reason to dread. They approach

ed the cabin, and dismounting from their hot -

ses, entered the apartment.

"How d' do, how d' do," said lhe lawyer,

whose customary salutation underwent no al

teration, whatever was his business. "You

didn't expect to see me so soon, I guess?"

"And pray, sir, what may be your business with me," demanded the Squatter, in answer

to the others interrogative.

"Fair and softly, Mr. Wilson, (as you are pleased to call yourself,) fair and softly go far

in a day."

"Mr. Buckhorn," said the Squatter again, turning to the companion of the lawyer, who

manner, evinced that he did not feel as bold as

Even the stranger, (w ho had received a se

vere contusion from the Tall from Ins horse, but who had at length been restored to sensibility, though still week and exhausted) seem

ed to participate in the emotion of the group, as was manifested by a low groan and some incoherent and feverish mutterings. Wilson himself, was the only one who exhibited no change. There was no twitching of the muscles, no involuntary trembling, no stiffening himself up, as if preparing for a trial.

He stood erect, calm, and composed. He had viewed tbe coming of the storm with apprehension and fear, hut it had now broke o his head, and he was determined to abide the issue with firmness whatever might betide. After first whWpering a few words to Eleanor to reassure her courage, he turned to his ac-

cysor.

"It is a heavy charge, Mr. Facia, that yon

have brought against me," said he, ' I trust that

you have pioeeeded upon sufficient grounds. May I ask the nature of your proofs?"

'Thev shall be forth-coming in due course

of the law " answered the other, in a brisk

pertinent manner, somewh t emboldened by

the uacific condnct of the Squatter. "This

warrant for your apprehension is my auihori

ty for w hat I do; and it has been granted up

on evidence which you will find difficult to

disprove."

"And whi'her will you that I go with you? '

"To Edgaiton."

"I left mv nag as I came along," said Buck

hom. "down ht Tom Ilavne's cabin to bail

that's tied to the fence, and I w ill w alk as for

engaged in it at all, only as 'Squire Facias was

deiermined on coming, I thougnl you might fall into worse hands." "I thank you for your kindness," replied the Squatter, taking Bnckhorn's offered hand. "It is an aw fill situation in which I stand, but supported by conscious innocence, I dare to meet the worst." My readers will excuse me if I do not dwell on this scene. No pen cau do adequate justice to the parting of WiUon from his w ife and family; and I fe-l lhat it is much safer to trust to the reader's imagi:. than tniy own feeble powers of descrii';on. Before the departure of the lawyer and Buckhorn with their prisoner, Mungo manifested by various acts a w ish to prevent their purpose; and when they at length rode off", the tears streamed down the face of the devoted negro, and his voice was scarcely audible from emotion, as he returned the farew ell salute of his master. The wounded stranger also exhibited much agitation, and once or twice he made feeble efforts to address Mr. Facias. His weakness, however, seemed to subdue him; and when they left the apartment, he sunk back exhausted oh the pillow. Mungo was directly after despatched to ihe nearest settlement to borrow a horse, (for the one which has been spoken of as having belonged to ihe Squatier on his arrival into the country, had long since been dead,) and on his return, set about preparing their humble vehicle to remove the family to Edgarton; that they might be present at the examination of Wilson. But a short time went by before the afflicted group issued from their cabin and set ont on their journey, the wounded stranger and twa children, having been entrusted to the charge of a neighboring matron, who with the hospitality characteristic of our Western inhabitants, had readily acquiesced in a request to thit effect TO BE COHTINfCD.
