LIFE,
May's life is but a tule of grief,
OF disappointments, tials, care,
His joys, though many, are concualed
Amidst the sorrows he must bear,
From childhood’s years to mantiood’s grave
He learns to stragyle with his fate;
Mopes ne'er fulfilled teach him thie truth,
The tyvoubles of his life are great.

The visions which in youth he dreamed
Of power gained, of Jife begun,
Are never realized to hin—
Though often sought, they're never won,
And when, at lenuth, gray with old age,
Te traces o'er the years gone by,
Tle sea that life is bat a place
Wherein to rest till be must die.

And when the tino of death does come,
With all its awfal majesty,
He fears it not; atllictions great
Have made him luny this hour to see.
Whiy should he dread to leave this earth,
The sceve of his unhappiness,
To goto be where trials end,
Where there is vanght but joy and bliss?

BY IZAAK INKLE,

Tne history of the West is richly inter-
spersed with povtry and romance. Aside
from the broad current of uational events
Which have occupied the pens of gry
historians, there areathousand unexplored
chinnels of lesser note, whose sources
have never been traged by the literary ad-
ventiyer, Amid the records of or
events, there are tales of peace and love.

While above every ¢ and chil inal this

in the wilderness,

More than tity years ago a solitary In-
dian Wigwam stood ou tie Western shove

Detroit. Tt was surroanded by scenery

atthe loot ol a gentle declivity, the wa

and it was bounded in every quarter by a
Gul, rugged cli which arose at eqaidis
tint points along the shove, and ascended
With Its garniture of every US ithmost to

amon the tree tops, as far as the UNu
could sec, arose from that lonely wig wath ;

. Phe only tenants of the hut were an In-
dian father and his daughter. In early
lile Mahtoree had been a distinguished
Warrior of ig Miamis. ladeed, his whole
tile had been spept in the service, and the
tvongth of his aru and the wisdom of his
coansels had long been a terror to the
ebemics of bis tribe, Bat now he had
srown old and powerless, Tis sons had
ven shin in battle, aud his daughters had
boon Ted into captivity; only the youngest
and dearest was lett to beguile his sulitude
and throw a lustre around his declining
yes. Resigniog voluntanly at the hon-
ors and offices with which his) services
tad been rewarded, he wandered far trom
the Indian vi sot the Miamis, and on
the lonely shove of Lake Evie he erected
his wigwain, Though wearied with the
tibots of war, Mahtoree did not relinquish
the pleasures of the chase, and while his
rile and arrows were renowned through
out the forest, his skill as a fisherman wis
vo less distinguished, Rohuna, the child
of his bosom, and the solace ot his age,
assisted him ii all his labors, aud returned
iis love with all the love ot filial idolatry.
he girl was young and beautital; and the
veteran chiel, who once had dreamed of
oattle and renown, now cherished as an
absorbing passion the affections of his
only daughter. Thus guarded trom obser-
vatton by the pathless Juke on the one
side, hin on the other by an almost im

passable barrier of rock, they were secure
irom the intrusion ot the Indi huntsmen,
and the adventurous white triders, who,
even at that envly period had introduced
their trinkets into the most hidden recess

es of the American forests,

We have written that Rohana was beau-
tila. She knew none of the arts of civil:
ized lile. She had been reared in a wil-
derness, Where her horizon was bounded
by the neighboring hills and the bays ot
the lake; and she knew not that beyond
the bounds of the futhesi lorest there was
a world ot civilized beings, where millions
of hearts beat happily, replete with life
and love and ¢njoyment. She had heard
uo music but that of birds and winds and
waves. The trees, and the clouds,
the hills, and the flowers were her t
ers; and her,heart had derived all its im-
pulses (rom the beautitul objects: whieu
the Great Spirit had thrown around ber
path, Separated ag she was trom the
world about her, she seomed, indeed, like
a tluwer, born iu some hidden recess of
the lorest, aud springing into loveliness
beneath the dews and sunshine of heaven,
without an eye to mark ils growth, or vee

joice iu its beauty.

Morning found her roaming tho hills
around her father’s wigwai, and the even-
ing sun saw her gliding in her litle boat
about the quiet bays ot Lake Erie, She
delighted to greet the rising sun, to watel

delightad to watch the deeras they bound

to pursue them from valley to valley, a-
wild, and free, and happy as they; to. sit

declined, and the evening air stole around
her with its sweetest murmurs. and the
seiting sun described a path of glory above
the wave, ‘To her father she was the very
sunlight of existence. Sha delishted to
accompany him in his fishing excursions
on the lake, and to alora her person with
accomplishinents which becume the daugh-
ter of an Indian chief. Very ulten, when
the evening sun was low, she might be
seen sentedin her boat, alone, and far
from shore, rejoicing in the delightful
breezes that wandered over the like, and

wherewith to deck her fathers wigwam

ed over the waters, she would dart nwaly
like ae arrow, aud guide her boat safely
into the little bay before the door of the
hut. So vapid and. spivit-tike were her
movements, that the superstitions might
have regarded her as a gentle being com-
missioned by the Great Spivit to guard his
favorite Jake; and the Indian wariiors
whe, while haunting over the neighboring
hills, caught distant gleams of her airy
form, called her, in the embleamatie | ng
uage of their country, *¢ The Bird of Brie.”
The cloud, the star, the morning dew
the flower of the valley, the golden hues
of sunset—these are not more truly beau
tifal than) the character thas allied to ro
manee, thus imbued with that holiest. of
all creeds—the religion of nature. Poetry

pressions of gratitude to the Author ot all

of a inan, avoso on the waters; adim light
appeared, gleaming through the mist;
and a strange form was seen gliding over

outlines of a strange vessel were dimly

There was a moment of silent and awful

suspense, While the wild winds revelled
above the billows. The Indian girl had
already gone down, when the brave mar

iner grasped her dripping treeses, and
bore her in triumph to the vessel.

tore, beating the waves in despair,

* Here, you lan | lubber, here she is,”
said the mariner, as he was drawn inte
the vessel with the Indian girl in his em-
braee; and in another moment, the father
was on board, bending with emotions of
gratitude and anxtety above the beautiful
though senseless form of Rohana. For
