NUMBER 18.

There was a young lady staying with my mother at this time who dearly loved to flirt; I was quite ready to contribute to her amusement, 1 devoted myself to her the whole evening, and felt the sweetest pain I ever cxpe/icuccd when I saw, by Grace’s dear, changing, sensitive face, that she was deeply pained and wounded. When this foolery was carried to this height, I perceived Grace suddenly rise and stop through the open window, out on the piazza. In a fcwraomchts I followed her; she had rclifed to a.little distance from the window, and stood with her head leaning against the railing, weeping. Stealing sbftly behind her,'I passed my arm around her, and whispered. Ah/ dcaacst-Grace, do not deny: it!— yow few me! ’ i . >

watch should be divided equally among them, each man standing guard for two Jioors, ; the old trapper taking the first watch,the yonng man next, then Scar Check, and the man with the scowl following. ‘ It was n'bright, moonlight night, and over the barren waste of the prairie not a sound was hoard as the three lay sleeping on their blankets. The old trap per paced up and down, ran hia. eyes around the wild, waste, before him, and then.would stop and mutter to himself, '."It,cannot Ik be," he said half aloud; ''but time and that scar have disguised him. . That boy, too—it’s slrange l Teel drawn towards him—then that yillain with his scowl," and the old trapper’s face worked convulsively, which the moonbeams falliiignpon, disclosed, traces - of gone : by refinement. Tt®-trapper noiselessly approached the sleeping men,, and /kneeling down, gazed intently »ipon,the features of each, and scanned them , deeply. Walking off/,he inutterted to himself again, saying—'.Tt shall be," and,then, judging by the stars that bis wateh was up; he approached tW young man and woke-him, pressing hia finger upon his Tip to command silence at the lime, and motioned him to follow.' They walked off.somedisUnce, when the trapper, taking the young ; man .by the shoulder, turning his face to the* moon* light,'.and* after gazing at it wistfully, whispered in his ear—"Aro yon Perry. Ward?" . ’ . The young man started wildly, bat the trapper prevented his replying- by aaying: , "Enough, enough."/; ' He then told him iHal he was his uncle, and that the man with-the 7 scar was'the murderer of, hia father; and that he with the scowl had convicted him {the trapper) of forgery bjliis falsaoaUi...

Appeal to Naturalized citizens, t

fulfilment of political Imsfc If tha la. taliigent foreigner would listen to bis iwwoo, and not to his prejudicial iad.Rif passions, be would perceive tbit our ptK. tritioa is correct; he would acquit of of the charge of. insensate hostility towards him and bit -brethern, and would be speedily convinced (bat tha, fundamental; axiom. that Americans should govern America ia the utterance of wisdom, and the prompting of a just and well-grounded nationality

.Sojconstantlyand perseveringly has the charge of proscription, and persecution of naturalized citizens, been dinned into,their ears by the anti-American press that many of them believe the gross imposture, and absolutely look upon the American Party aa a ruthless, foe. AH adopted citizens do not think thus. Wa are happy, enough to* number among onr acquaintances and friends some of this clni, who-view the subject in a more rational and dispassionate manner, and who. can appreciate the far seeing and genuine patriotism of the American party. Such citizens deserve the highest praise, for they bayehad the wisdom to cast aside theabackles ofpreji/ dice; and to subject their cpflducf. to,the unbiased conclusions of their inteUqct, and the severe convictions of their duty.. And why—«the Nash villa Whig pertinently asks—why should not the priucibles of the American. party have,;the sanction of all enlightened citizens—whether ’natives or foreign born? Thrir fortunes and* the fortunes of their posterity for good’or ill, are hert —this is now - their country, as well as cure. What is our interest is their interest—and ’. if native-born Americans promote MeiV own safety , and welfare in managing the. Government, they will; of by, inevitable uecsssity, promote, the safety, and welfare, also; of their Tor* eign-bom fellow citizens. This cannot be denied, consistently with.(he supposition that the mass of- Ihe naturalized citizens claim only equal benefits with the mass .of the native-born. . .

Land for Aitl!

•, A paper way oiit in Kansas thus lays down the "squatter sovreignly” doctrine: -. "Fanners, old and young, yon that have land'and you that have not, and all. who feel any interest in the prosperity of Vopr descendants; or tha welfawot coming generations, remember -that this broad earth is spread out for the use of all the human race: that there is land enough; that every individual has as good a right to w much as bo can cultivate, as he has to life, or air’to support life; Remember that every government) every corporation, that claims wild lands, ia a thief, a pirate, a jobber;' that ’every individual who claims more than be can cultivate, while his brothers have none, is a robber. .Remember, that Moses says, ‘Tbe land shall not always- be sold;* remember that General Jackson recommended that no’more, sales of land should be madetospeculators, .bat that the land .should be re*, served for . actual settlers, that every man* might possess ia home. Remember, that the time Is coining when, if the wild lands are not made free to actual settlers, famine, misery and death will reign. * "R®tncmber these facts .when demts gogues and parties want your-votes; and if ypu will continue, to. vote.under,this hliserable government, vole for no man, fdr no party, that is not pledged to cie all-proper means to make the wild lands claimed, by government, free to actual settlers, and stop-the sale of. it to speculators entirely," .

There isVso much - originality about.(he manners pml habits of t hot rapper frontierman, that one is struck with their peculiar language or mode, of expressing themselves, os well as their singular costume. *. They are; in fact;os distinct and marked, a class as sailors, and have:many odd and quaint sayings.- , If is generally the ,coni morion of crime, sotuu di/appbijitinc 111 in life, or a native love of yid venture. and-, peril; that makes thiwe; men deleft’ the com torts of civilized society for the wilds aiid haunts .of the red men. , We can imagine the terrible reaction ; wInch.takes place when the storm of passion or wreck of disappointed-hopes sweeps Over the sensitive, so ulj and leaves a desolation—a ruin of tho* former man. It is misfortunes like , these which scorch and dry lip the finest’feelings-r-spme mortal tyhmg or injustice commilled by others'. towards -. them, in . revenging which tliey nave been ' compelled; to leave their homes apU;become .exiles’ m the Far WcbL' . • A >tory t is'told of an; extraordinary meet iug, udii an . act of re repge field to h a vo taken pi ace ihady long years since, on the fork of the Pawnee.,: A party of four who; had been roving for- many.years in the West, all strangers to each othej, were one day accidentally ’ thrown logethe.r, when a strange and bloody scene ensued. ?.. The men. presented - a striking co at fast in feature. ' The ’youngest 'was delicately made/ wit b long, J tght hair ahd blue eyes; his .exposure, had’ given him arich brown complexion. Ho was of .the mcdiiiiu stature/ mid made for strength and agility. There was a dark void over Ills featnres, which told (hat with; him the light of libpc had gone out. Ho was traya 1 mtilc, with hist rifle in'his gun learner at tho.bow of; saddle, when he Overtook; amah onfooti with a gun’ bn Lis shoulder, and pistols in lits belt, wUp was over six. feef; and had adeepi'witle scar on his right cheek. 1 - ■ As' the /day • was drawing to a close, they prepared- to caifip, and brought up at the head fork of the Pawnee. Shortly after they had encamped , a'man wasseea reconhohering theniwith a-rifle in liis,huad]and having satisfied himself that the signVas friendly, ho : eamc moodily into, the campPj-apd’af-ter .looking sternly at the two nicn/lvas isked by dear' Chock to "comc 'lo .the ground.’/ Hewas u stout, muscular raa*h, with a deep habitual scowl, long, black, matted hair, and very unprepossessing features.’ Some common-place remarks were made,'but no questions were asked by either party. It was near twilight, when the young man, who had gathered some chips to make & fire to cook with, suddenly perceived a man-approaching them on a mule. He came steadily aud fearlessly on to camp, and casting a look at the three, said "Look yo for Indians/* then glancing at the deerskin dress of the trio, he observed, “Old leathers—some time out, eh?" The man was about fifty years old, and his gray hairs contrasted strangely with his dark, bronzed features, upon which care and misfortune'were strongly stamped. He was only half clad by the miserable skins he wore, -and as he dismounted Scar Oheck asked: "Where from ?" . "From the Kaw/* (Kansas) he replied, throwing down a bundle of otter skins. After unsaddling and staking out his mule, he brought himself to the ground, and taking Im rifle, looked at the priming, and staking the powder in the pan, lie added a few mure grains to it; then placing a piece of thin dry akin bver'it, to keep, it from the damp*, lie shot .the .pan.-: The group watched the pjd trapper; who seemed not to notice them, while Scar Cheek became interested and showed a certain uneasiness. ' He, looked toward his’ own rifle, and once or twice loosened'the pistols in bis belt, as if they incommoded him. The-young-and-the stout man with a; scowl, exchanged glances,.but np words passed,.
