A FOREST FOUNDLING. i Adverse as we are to the practice of seizins on "any little local incident and rendering it the subject of embellished detail, yet we occasionally hear of occurrences so touching and paihotic in their na- . ture d awaken our sympathies, and interest us in their narration. Of such a nature is that which we now present to the reader. Mr. Charles Bearghan left the north east part of this province a short time ago, and took "what is called tho upper road from Frederickton to St. Siephens, on his way to the United States. On tiie 5th August ho passed the thriving village at Hart's Mill's, on the Rushagonis, very early in the rnorning, and expected to reach Trew's tavern, at the Piskahagan, by night. Properly equipped for the vocd, furnished with suitable provisions, his bhnleer, his axe slung behind and his gun on his shoul- J der, he trudged gaily along until he arrived at Shin . creek, which is unbndged, and was at that time much swolen with rams. A woodsman seldom hesitates at such obstacles: he proceeded up the bank of the stream, and set about falling a tree across it to serve as a temporary bridge; it swung aside in falling, and launching into deep water, it moved nway majestically down the stream. Our traveller "looked and looked and wist net what to do." He was not inclined to resume the axe; and therefore resolved to go up stream, in hopes of finding a favorable place for crossing. At length he arrived nt one of those placid-looking pools which form deep stretches in our rivers, and are generally termed still water places. Here he made a kind of a raft sufficient to bear up his clothes and gun, and keep them dry, while he swam over and drew them after him. lie was soon busily engaged in rehaLiling his limbs, and refreshing himself with a bit ofbuiscuit, seated on the flowery margin of a natu- " nl meadow, which extended along the banks of the stream, when his car was startled by a whining jiois.3 resembling the sound frequently uttered by young bears. He instantly seized his gun. examined the touch-hole and re-primed, then clapping a ball into the barrel, "with look intent, "And eye and ear attentive bent," stole cautiously toward the spot whence the sounds issued. They were no longer uttered, but ho now and then heard a cracking among the un- i ' derbrush, and perceived a twitching motion of the twigs and spray, but could not discover what caused them. Convinced, however, that he had some animal to encounter, his gun was at his shoulder and his finger on the trigger. He then silentlv reasoned with himself whether cr not he should flro at random, but experience cautioned him against so rash an action, for no animal is more furious than a wounded bear. As thus he mused, his eyes became suddenly dilated, his heartthrobbed violently, he raised himself erect, and let the butt of his gun drop quickly to the ground! What did he see? What did he gaze at? Behold! among the raspberry bushes and seen through the interstices of their many twinklmgfieavcs ofdewey green behold! he sees a beautiful infantile arm fitfully stretched out, and little taper lingers plucking the rich, ripe, crimson fruit. After he had experienced the first flush of the mingled emotion of surprise at the extraordinary sight of horror at the bare idea of his gun and his intended act and of pleasure in tho expectation of meeting society in these deep and solemn solitudes, our traveller advanced, and he beheld a little girl about seven years old, scdously engaged in pulling and eating of the abundant wild berries which were spread in great variety over that naturally rich and verdant spot. She appeared to be an interesting child; her clothes had a respectable look, albietthey were most wofully rent and worn; her fair hair played in discorded ringlets over her cheek, which was begrimed and pale, and her soft blue eyes were red with weeping. She burst out into wild hysteric wailings, which sunk suddenly into convulsive sobs. Tho traveller was almost in utter amazement, and hemmed aloud, to attract the child's attention. Alarmed, in her turn, at his appearance, half habited as he was, she screamed fled a few steps fell, and covered her face with her hands. He was quickly by her side, and used the kindest and most soothing expressions to gain her confidence and calm her fears. She had fid len more from bodily weakness than from fear, although siie had been greatly alarmed at the unexpected appearance of the stranger. At length she ventured to look up, and, with a sweet and languid smile, said, slowly and faintly, "O now I am sure you won't hurt me ! O I am very sure you will not kill me." "Kill you God forbid," was the full hearted reply. -4Q lam very tired rve been very, very hungry; "but I got plenty raspberries here I only cat the goody ones; I never take them as have tho spiders on "em; mother bid me not to.' k Where is your mother, my dear child V eagerly inquired the traveller; and he was answered, with the greatest simplicity, "she's at home, sir, I guess but mam don't know where I be I can't find out the way i.ome, ever so long." "Why! my child, have you strayed, and are lost? Come to'that flowery knell with me. God has sent mo to preserve your life. Come, I will give you some nice biscuit, and a bit .of meat. You are weak and worn, but I will take care of you." The poor innocent's soul burst forth In a flood of grateful tears, not attended with that hysteric affection which she had lately suffered. She derived great relief from weeping and prepared to follow her benefactor, but the excitement phehad just experienced, acting on her sensitive, delicate, and exhausted frame, had shaken every nerve,- and completely prostrated her strength. She was unable to walk, but the kind and generous Bearghan carried her to the bank of the river, where he had left his little store, and judiciously regaled her with spare and gradual portions of food. As soon as she was moderately refreshed, her artless answers to his inquiries informed him that hernimc was Lydia Harper; her parents lived near Heart's Mills; she had been sent with dinner to her father, who was making shingles a little way in the woods, but missed the right track, got bewildered and wandered estray. "When I knew I was lost," she said,fO I was very frightened I screamed, and ran about, and threw away father's dinner." It appears that she walked the first night until she ' mnk down, nearly stupified with fatigue. The tra

roller asked if she was not afraid when it

grew dark, as she was all alone and lost in the woods: to w"c s'ie replied, "I was a kind of frightened a 'ie t'rn0; ,)Ut when I lay down I said my praycrs' ,'iat maift learnt me, then ! wan't frightened." "y" remember the prayer. uO 1 doe?, sir, it '?: 'av me down in peace, and take my rest: or lt s lno,J J-ord,onIy that makest me to dwell in safely, and into thy hands I recommend my spirit, m' sou" mv hody; for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth! Amen." Ir- Bearghan next began to consider how the cm"'d was to be brought along. lie was sixteen miles past her father's and his business would not a'"0V!r him to return, he was about twelve miles from Trcw's, and no house between. The child vva3 unable (o walk; lie rigged out a contrivance uv means of his blanket, and carried her forward on "''s hack. The delightful consciousness of performjina E00" action, buoyed up his spirits and nerved iiis iramc, ana lie beguiied the rigor oi Ins Jaooriou3 task by the prattle of his little foundling, who had now became more sprightly and free. As he journeyed along, he inquired if she had seen any wnu beasts in tuc woods; and sue an swered "No lidid'nt onlv once two black dos ! were comin to mc thev were not Mr. Burkes! was: l tiiougiit 1 was close to home, for I heard I could'nl sec no-1 i the beasts trampling about m.

. "v " send back immediate relief He struck a light,! partook of some refreshments with her, but found great clifliculty in getting her to consent to remain behind. After he had prepared a pretty comfurta ble bed for her, and placed her snugly in if, he sat down to watch until she would fail asleep. The moon had just risen, and before he started, he gently approached the child, to find if she was perfectly composed; he held the light towards her, she opened her blue eyes full upon bim, averted her head, and sobbed. "NoP exclaimed the traveller, "By all that's sacred, I swear I will not leave you behind!'' He forthwith slung his axe and his jjun, resumed his former equipment, raised little Lydia from her lonely couch, and carried her safely to the long-lookcd-for house ofentertainment. Although it was cite late, Capt. Josiah Trew was easily roused toadmitthc toil-worn traveller and his tittle companion, who now stood, beside him at the threshold ; for something told him it was more seemly that she should walk than be carried into the house. He had also tied a handkerchief under her chin, in the fashion of a gipsey head dress. They were soon placed by a comfortable fire in a good house, well stored, and blessed with a hearty and hospitable landlord. The females, as is the custom of the country, were speedily afoot, and busy preparing the required repast. Wc f .ncy wc can sec the mirth-lit countenance of facetious Josiah beaming with downwright exultation, as he issued his multifarious orders, for every viand the house could afford to comfort the wearied travel lers. Wc can also fancy that we see his features o'erclouded and his eye glislcnin" with genuine f feeling as he related that the whole counTrv side il y had been up in search of a child lost in the woods; that parlies had gone in all directions, but unhappily without success, and that one of the people deeply distressed on the occasion, was now in the house. Our traveller immediately exclaimed that providence had made bim the happy instrument of recovering that lost child, who now sat before them. Every one flew round the little girl, examined and fondled her, and vented exclamations of amazement and satisfaction. During this sudden bustle, a person from the adjoining chamber rushed wildly in among the company, snatched the hand of little Lydia, gazed on her for a moment, then clasped her to his bosom. It was her father. What a scene was here! what an overflowing of the finest feelings which adorn humanity! what a gratifying interchange of those pure affections which spring from sincerity and truth! But what tongue can tell, what pen portrav the varied emo tions which fleeted in rapid succession through the

From the Missouri Enqttircr. ROCKY MOUNTAIN CORRESPONDENCE. The following letter received by us may be in

teresting to a number of our readers. Mr. Ed wards (ihe author,) is a gentleman about 21 or2"2 years old, and well known to many of our rea ders as a young man of worth and promise. His object at the Rocky mountains was to civilize the Flat Head Indians. He was employed by and accompanied the Messrs. Lees, who were appointed by one of the Eastern Conferences to establish a mission among the above named Indians. We expect to hear from him again some time during the approaching Fall; when it may be expected that we shall have a more particular account of the country, and manners and customs of the natives.

A melinclio'y accident, involving the los ofscveral lives, occurred at Pitt? hurch on the tlih inslanf. ; by the explosion of a steam boiler. The Advocate (urni?nes the following recount of it: This morning, about five o'clock, just as we had stopped the omission of the city edition of our piper, intelligence was brought to us of tho explosion of the boilers of tho l'aglo Cotton Factory, in tho j borough of Alleghany, owned by Messrs.
