This is by no means a picture of all tho settlements of that early period, but that it is graphically true of many, none of the old settlers will deny. Hut to my narrative. Saturday nfiernoon in the ye3r 1S1G. a young nun was seen approaching 4vith a slow and weary steps, the house, 6r rather the distillery of Squire Crosby, 4 t Brent's Prairie, an obscure settlement Ji ttie Military Tract. As usual on that .day, n largs collection of people were amusing themselves et Crosby's, who 1 atoned the only distillery in that region I was a magistrate, and regarded by the settlers, as a rich, and consequently a I great man. The youth who now came up to the group was apparently about twenty-one ) years of age, slender form, fair and deli- ; cate complexion, with the air of one accustomed to good society. it was evident at a glance that he wa3 not inured Co the hardships of a frontier life, or la bor of any kind. But his dress bore i ' strange contrast with his appearance and manners. 'lie wore a hunting shirt of the Voarseet linsey-woolsey, a common straw hat, and a pair of deerskin moccasins. i ifS9 Pak completed his equipment i-urcKv one razed with curiosity on the new com.W In their eagerness to learn who he wae,"whcnco he came, and what was his business, the horse-swao was left unfinished the rifle was laid aside, and even the busy tin-cup had a tempo rary respite. The young man approached Squire Crosby, whom even a stranger could dis tinguish as the principal personage among them, and anxiously inquired for a house where he could be accommodated; saying that he was extremely ill, and felt all the symptoms of an approaching fever. Crosby tffd him keenly and syspiciously for a moment without uttering a jword.

The Squire, who prided himself on his sagacity in detecting villains, now found the Hse of his tongue. With a loud and eneering laugh, he said: "Stranger, you are barkinj up the wrong tree if you think for to catch me with that arr Yankee trick of yorrn." He proceeded in that inhuman strain, seconded by nearly every one preset, for the 'Squire' was powerful, and few dared displease him. The youth felt keenly his dessolate situation, and casting his eye around over the crowd, in a tone of deepjand despairing anxiety, 'is there no one here who will receive mc!' 'Yes, I will," cried a man among the rrowd; 'yea poor sick stranger.I will shelter you.' Then in a lower tone he added, "I know not whether you are deserving, but I know von "- A.UUVT b. ing, and in sickness and m want and for the sake of'tt? iV Sdty, sawe 1 wnl be v;n(j to it not, or young stranger.' 3'OU. y rrvvhf N termor! fnnVi r,,l .f i tie ni'M9 to the youth in the hour of i-.iV,.Ti fPas yimon Davis, an elderly i. : At an, "iiu rt-aiueu near Crosby, and to Mil t.ie latter was a deadly enemy. O'rtcle Simon, as he was called, never retaliated, and bore the many persecutions of his vindictive neighbor, without com plaint. His family consisted of himself snd daughter, his only child, an affectionate girl of seventeen. The youth heard the offer of Mr. Davis, but heard no more, for, overcome by his feelings and extreme illness, he fell insensible to the earth. He was conveyed to the house of his benefactor and a physician called. Long was the struggle between life and death. Though unconscious he called upon his mother and sister almost incessantly, to aid him. When the youth was laid upon his bed, and she heard him oMHng for his sister, Lucy I)iv: wept, zr.d said to him "pe?it ?iok young man, your sister is far distant and cannot hear you, but 1 will be to you a sister." Well did this dark eyed maid en keep her promise. Day and night did she watch over him, except during the short intervals when she yielded her post at his bed side to her father. At length the crisis of his disorder arrived the day that was to decide the question of life or death. Lucy bent over him with intense anxiety, watching evey expression of his features, hardly daring to breathe, so fearful was she of waking him from the onlv sound sleen he had enjoyed for nine long days and nights. At I t T a ientn ne awose and gazed up into the lace of Lucy Daws and faintly inquired "where am I?" There was intelligence in that look, i outh and a good constitution had obtained the mastery. Lucy ieu inai ne was spared, and bursting into a flood ot irrepressible irrateful tears. ruslied out of the room. It was two weeks more before he could sit up, even for a ehort time. He had already acauinted them with his name and residence but they had no curiosity to learn any thing further, and forbid his giving his story till he became stronger. His name was Charles Wilson, and his paternal home Boston. A few days afterwards, when Mr. Davis was absent from home, and Lucy engaged about her household affairs, Wilson saw at the head of his bed, his pack, recollecting something that he wanted, opened it. The first thing he saw was the identical pocket book, whose loss had excited so mauy bitter regrets. Ho recollected having placed it there the morning before he reached Brent's Prairie, but in the confusion of the moment, that circumstance was forgotten. He examined it, and found every thing as he left it. This discovery nearly restored him to health, but he resolved at present to confine the secret in his own bosom. It was gratifying to him to witness the entire confidence they reposed in the nonor and interity of a stranger, and the pleasure with which they bestowed favors upon one whom they supposed could make no return but thanks. Night came and Mr. Davis did not return. In the morning she M atched hour after hour for his coming, and when the sun-set approached and he was still absent, terrified at his long and unusual stay, she was setting out to procure a neighbor to go in search of him, when her parent came in sight. She ran to meet him, and was bestowing a thousand endearing expressions of affection, when his haggard, woe-begone countenance startled her. j He uttered not a word, and wf nt into his house and seated himself in silence. It was in vain that Lury attempted to cheer him After a lonrr pause, during which a powerful strufede was coin? on in his feelings, he arose took his daughter by the hand and led her into the room where William waa seated "You ehall

know all," said he, "lam ruined I tim j

a beggar. In a few days I must quit this house this farm which I have so highly improved and thought my own. He pro ceeded to state that a few davs before, Crosby, in a moment of ungovernable malice, taunted him that he vs now in his power, and he would crush him under his feet. When Mr. Davis smiled at what lie regarded only as an impotent threat. Crosby, to convince him, told him that the patent to his farm was a forged one, and that he, Crosby, knew ttie real owner of the land had written to pur chase it and expected a deed in a few days. Davis immediately went home for his pat ent, and during hif-Hng absonce had visited the Und oifice. Crosby was right. 1 he raient, beyond all dispute, was a forged one and the claim of Davis to the farm not worth a farthing. It may be proper to observe that coun terfeiting soldier natenta was a regular business in some of the eastern cities, and hundreds have been thus duped. "It is not for myself" said the old man, "that I grieve at this misfortune. I am advanced in life, and it matters not how or where I pass the l'w remaining days of my existence. 1 hava a home above the star-, where your mother has) gone before fore me, where I longsince would have joined her had 1 not lived fo protect her child. my own affectionate I.'.icy The weeping gir!

J 1 A new scene followed ; wi,ici, 8nol,. or individual was the principal actor. 1 shall leave tho reader to form his oWn opinion of it, and Uarelv remark, that at the close, the old man took th bands of L.ucy and young Wilson, and joining them, said, "my dear children, I cheerfully consent to your union. Though poor", with a good conscience you be happy. I know Charles, that yon' will be kind to my daughter, for a few nights ago, when you thought no human ear could hear y ou, I heard you, fervently implore the blessing of Heaven upon my gray hairs; and that God would reward my child for all her kindness to you. Taking do.wn his family Bible, the venerable old man added, "it is a season of affliction but we are not forsaken, let us look for support to him who has promised to sustain us. He opened i;. e Look and read; "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labors of the olive shall fail and the fields shall yield to meat: the flock shall be cut off from the fold and there shall be no herd in the stall, yet will I rejoice in the Lord; I will joy in the God of my salvation." Charles and Lucy knelt down beside the venerable old man, and while he prayed, they wept tears of grateful emotion. It was a sleepless, but not an unhappy night to the three inhabitants of the neat and chcerfjl dwelling they were about to leave, and go they knew not where. It was then that young Wilson learned the real value of monoy. By means of it he could give a shelter to those who had kinJIy received him when every other do r was closed upon him. All night long he thought of the Forged Fatent. There were a few words droppe 1 by Mr. Davia which he could not dismiss from his mind that Crosby had written to the real owner of tho land and otained a deed. It is now time'for the reader to become m re Mly acquainted with the history of thy young stranger. His father, Charles Wilson, senior, wa a merchant of Boston, who had acquired an immense fortune. At the close of the last war, when the soldiers received from the government their bounty cf 1G0 acres of land, many of them offered their patents to Mr. Wilson for sale. Finding that they were resolved to sell tbem, ho concluded to save them from a sacrifice of their hard earnings, and purchased at a fair price all that were offered. In three years no small portion of the Military Tract came into hia pos session. On the day mat Charles became of age. he gave him a dlCed of the principal part ol this lar.o u Illinois, and insisted that he shou'u' go out to see it, and if he liked the country settle there. Wishing hirvi to become identified with the people, he recommended his eon on bis arrival in the State, to lay aside his broadcloth and dress like a backwoods man. In compliance with this suggestion the young man assumed a rude and rustic dress, so inappropriate to his appearance and manners, as to excite the suspicion that he had some motives for concealing Ins real character. On the morning of his son's departure, Mr. Wilson received a letter from a man in Illinois who had frequently written. He wished to purchase a certain quartersection, at Government price, which Mr. Wilson promised he should have on these terms, provided he forwarded a certificate from the Judge of the Circuit Court that the land was worth no more. The letter just received enclosed the certificate in question. Mr. Wilson had given the tract to Charles and puttins the letter into his hands, enjoined upon him to deed it to the writer agreeably lo promise upon his arrival in Illinois.

The remarks of Mr. Davis forcibly reminded young Wilson of this incident, and on the next morning after he became acquinted with tin design of Crosby, with

a trembling hand, examined the letter and certificate. It was written by Crosby, and the land he wished to purchase, was the identical farm of Davis. Astonished, that his friend, the Judge, should certify that the land was worth no more, Mr. Davis psked to see the certificate, and after a moment's examination unhesitatingly pronounced tho signature & forgery. . An explanation from the young man how became necessary, and catling Lucy and her fau'ier in the room, told them his history, en 3 lad before them a pile of patents and bank notes one after another, till the amount reached to thousand's. It was a day of thankful happiness to old Siraon Davis and hi3 daughtor, and not less so to young Wilson. Not long after this scene, Crosby entered. His air was of a man who has an en nny in his power and intends to trample upon him. He scarcely noticed Wilson except with a look of contempt.After pouring out all his maledictions upon the family, he advised them to leave immediately. The old man inquired if lie would give him nothing for the improvements he made. The anawer was, 'not a cent.' 'You cartainly would not,' said Wilson, 'drive out this old man and his Jaughter into the world penniless?' 'What is that to you,' replied Crosby, with a look of malice and contempt. '1 wil; answer you that question,' said Wilson, and he acquainted him with what the reader h, already learnt. Crosby, at first, was stupifio.l w"ith astonishment, but when he saw that all his scheme of villainy were defeated and proof of his having committed forgery could be established, his assurance forsook him, and he threw himself upon his knees and begged, first the old man, then of Lucy and Wilson to sp?re him. Hi entreaties for mercy were urged in the most moving term. Much as they pitied, it was impossible for them not to despite the abjsct mt.amess of his supplicatiflni. t . JtiI$on told him he deserved norriorcy. ThatH moment previous he would have driven the family of Davis from their home, without even the means of a temporary support. He would pay Crosby a fair ptiee Tor hi property, and furhftjir prosecuting him, on condition of his instantly q-iitting the country. Crosby accepted the offer. The writings were maie out that day, and before morning, he and his family were on their way to Texas. Why should I spin out my narrative. Lucy and Charles were married, and though a splendid mansion soon rose upon the farui of Mr. Davis, both loved far better the little room where she had so long and axiouIy watched over the sick bed of tho stranger. Mr. Wilson was rich, bu never forgot those who were in want. Cheered by the kind and affectionate attenlior of his children, old Simon Davis almost st-emod to have renewsd his existence. "He lived many years, and long thought to tell the bright-eyed son of Charles and Lucy, the story of the Forced Deed. And" when he told the listening boy, his father when poor and friendlees. was taken home and kindly treated and in turn became their benefactor, he'mpressed upon the mind of his grand i,hild, that 'even a cup of watei given from a pure motive shall not lose its reward.
