to remind her of the days of her early
love, as yet the most delightful of her ex-

LEVON, = = = - - - P. E.T.\istence. “ While the younger Mahtoree, so
June 27, 1867. named from his grandfather, was growing

up to manhood, the elder was sinking into
old age; and when the son had reached
maturity his venerable ancestor had gone
| down into the grave. :

Few, who had scen Rohana in the days
of her girlish innocerce and beauty, would
have recognized her in the moody, quiet
being, whose heart had been so chastened
by sorrow, and broken by early disap-
pointment. But the feelings which once
controlled her spirit had suffered a terrible
revulsion,

The rage of the lion may be quelled;
the winds of heaven may be controlled;
even the lightening may be wielded by a
vod; but the heart that has onee been
crushed and-broken, once won and neg-
lected, will, unless subdued by divin
grace, seck out for itsclf a just and terrible
retribution.

She, who, in the earliest pariod of her
desertion, had looked with fond expecta-
tion for the return of her lover, now de-
red his coming only that she might seek,
what she deemed a just revenge ; and when
the first paroxysms of her grief had sub-
sided, her love was displaced by the most
deep and bitter hatred,

Mahtoree soon became the pride of his
mother and the solace of her lonely hours,
He had heard of the exterminating wars
which the pale face was wuging in the
land of his fathers, and he longed to join
the ranks of the Miamis, who were march-
ing to liberty or death; bat a glance from
the mild eye of Rohana would recall him
home, and subdue his spirit ik 5
For her he roamed the forests in
of game, or guided his fishing boat about
the quiet bays of Lake Evie; and for her
he quelled his spirit of wild adventure
and duving heroism, lingering about the
pexceful shores of the lake, dreaming of
the day when he might enroll his name
among the bravest of the Miamis.

The mother looked with pride upon her
son, and gradually, ashe rese to manhood,
unfolded to him the mystery of his birth,
her early love, and the treachery of her
lover, ‘Then it was that his eye would
kindle with passion, as he vowed unre-
lenting venge: inst the race of him
who had stolen, like a viper into that quiet
wigwain, and left his mother’s heart a
wreck,

More than twenty years had passed since
that eventful day when the vessel that bore
away the heart of Rohana, had disappear-
ed from the beach. ‘The mother and son
were sitting in the door of the wigwam,
eahnly contemplating the swelling billows
ot the lake. Rohana had the air of a being
whose carly lile had been unfortunate,
upon whose heart sorrow had left an_in-
delible impress; while Mahtoree, with a
striking resemblance to his parent, leoked
like a youth whose fiery spirit had been
restrained by domestic ties, but who still
longed for more active duties than were
allotted to him on the shores of the lake.
* * * % *

* *
The sun had set ifloom ; the lightning
gleamed from the gg west; the even-
ing wind swept in Wul gusts across the
| stormy waters of Lake Erie; while on the
|heights ot the er which arose in the
distance, the rocking pines, dimly visible
inthe darkness, were swayed wildly to
and fro by the blast, The Indian woman
and her son looked upon the wild scene
without any extraordinary emotions, for
the same phenomena had been witneseed
from that spot a hundred times before.
But a strange sail was visible through
jthe gathering mists, driving before the
nd ata furious rate. As the vessel hove
rht, Rohana and Mahtoree started to
| fect, and cast involuntary exclama-
tions to Manito to preserve the hapless
voyagers from the fury of the storm, ‘The
wind arose in its strength, and was i
lulled to repose, and as the waves dit
wildly against the shore, the vessel was
stripped of its rigging, and left to the fury
of the blast.
‘‘Look there, mother! can we help
}them ?” exclaimed the youth, starting to
jhis feet as a fresh squall struck the boat.

‘* Tlist, Mahtoree !” said the other, quiet-
ly surveying the wr ‘The treacher-
| ous pale-fuces! let the wrath of Manito
| fall upon them. Many years ago, your
j fther came in a storm like this—it is
jenough! let the will of Manito be done!”
|were her hurried exclamations, as she
bowed her head upon her breast, and
| thought of the past.
| For a moment Mahtoree was silent, but
fy eye kindled as he exclaimed, taunting-
ve

“Your lover—my father—may be
there!"

of Rohana. and she replied,—

“Yes, yes—why should they perish ?’
and her eye piercing through the gleom,
descried the ill-fated vessel as it dashed
upon the rocks.

The boat! the boat!” cried the Indian
woman, as she bounded from the wigwam
and hurried toward the beach; but Mah-
toree, anticipating her wishes, had Jaunch-
ed his borat on the lake, and bore his
mother boldly and fearlessly above the
billows towards the wreck, The waves
dashed in their fury over the Indians, while
the lightning glared brightly on the two
forms that sprang from the wreck into the
water, aud buffeted the waves. Swilt as
theught, the Indian mother and her son
leaped from their little boat und grasped
them as they sank.

Instinetively Rohana eame to the sup-
port of the man, while young Mahtoree
clasped the woman to his breast. There
was a wild ery of horrer, as the Indian
woman tore the mariner from the being
whom he supported, clutched his throat
in her nervous grasp, and plunged be-
neath the wayes,

Meanwhile, Mahtoree, sustaining his
tender burden with one arm, and with the
other struggled bravely with the billows,
and approached the shore. Ie looked
wildly back, he listened for the yoice of
his mother, but he heard naught but the
sullen roar of the rolling waves. Wave
after wave swept over him. The delicate
form in his arms had swooned, and her
heart beat faintly to his own, while the
lightning glared upon her face, displaying
a beautiful white girl, pale as death, with
her raven tresses playing wildly with the
surf, IH[e leaped upon the beach. — he
called upon the girl, but she sank in his
arins—he called upon Rohana, but all was
still, He pressed his burden to his bosom,
and hurried to the wigwam. For hours
he employed every simple method which
his skill could devise to restore her to
sensition; and the morning sun was high
in the heavens ere she opened her eyclids,
and gazed wildly around her,

“Where am 1?”

Mahtoree was startled by the low,sweet
tones of a voiee like that he had heard in
his dreams,

“You are safe, lady; the storm is past ;
the Indian has sayed you.”

And, as he spoke, the girl gazed in ad-
niration at his tall, manly form,

“The boat—the storm—that wild rude
man—where wre they all?”

‘All gone, lady. ‘Lhe vessel has gone
down, the storm is over, and you alone
are saved, My mother
“ave you a mother, sir? are you not
alone?” were the simple questions of the
beautiful girl, as she arose from her reel-
ing posture, and gazed earnestly at Mah-
toree.

‘Thad a mother, lady. She ventured
with me into the lake; andasshe grasped
«min by the throat, there was a wild,
thrilling shriek; they sank, and I heard
no more.”

The thoughts of the beautiful pale-face
seemed to wander, She pressed her hand
to her brow, and muttered,—

“Yes, it must be the very same; thank
God for such a deliverance!” and a flood
of tears, which Mahtoree could seareely
aecount for, suffused her cheeks.

With an inate delicacy of feeling, the
Indian left her alone with her tears, and
strolled out on the beach. He looked

De
P

-}on the lake, but its waters were as cuim

as at creation’s dawn, No trace was_ left
of the storm, but a few brokenspars float-
ing on the waters. As he looked in quiet
contemplation on the scene before him,
musing on the strange adventure of the
preceeding night, he beheld two corpses
lying on theshore, ‘There lay his mother,
with her hand clutched tightly around the
throat of the dead mariner, who seemed
to have struggled madly in her embrace.
He bent down and pressed his hand upon
her heart, but there was no pulsation to
tell of life within, and a stern smile of
sitistaction had settled on her stiffened
brow. United as they were by a strength
which he could not sever, he bore the dead
bodies in his arms to the wigwam, and
placed them on a couch,

‘The loss of his mother, the only being
whom he had ever known and loved, was
too much for his Indian’ stoicism. Ie
threw himself wildly beside the corpse ot
Rohana, For a moment his breast heaved
like a heaving billow, and then all was
still, He was too proud to weep, and his
sorrow was too deep for tears.

** Lady,” he said, turning to the being
who thus strangely had been thrown into
his protection, ‘she was my mother,and L
an only son.”

** Your father, where is he?”

“«T never siw him, lady.”

That is he! said the girl, pointing to
the form of the dead mariner.

« Tlow, lady! speak; do you not jest?”
said Mahtoree, throwing himself at her
feet.

“WIuve you never heard how, many
years ago, # sailor lad rescued your mo-
ther from a watery grave, tarried a few
days in this wigwam, and vhen deserted
her?”

‘Who are you, lady ?” exclaimed Mah-
toree, looking with superstitious awe on
the beautiful being who had so nearly
corroborated his mother’s story of his
birth.

‘Listen! Far away from this spot, be-
yond many miles of lake and river, stands
Port Deiroit. It has passed successively
from the French to the British colonies,
and thence to the Americans. My father
is now commander of that fort, and, as I
was an only daughter, I was willing to
meet the perils of the wilderness that I
might be near him. ‘The fort is erected in
the bosom of aheavy forest, and by the
margin of a beautiful river, By degrees I
became attached to the romantic life of
western pioneers; I soon came to love the
hills and the woods, and the beautilul
river that wandered by,

‘*Too often, indeed, I became weary of
confinement, for guards were placed by
all the gates, and I conld only see the dis-
tant world from behind tho walls of the
fort.

tain on the beach, and he decoyed me into
his boat, with the promise of a delightful
excursion and a speedy return. Scarcely
had I placed my foot on board, when the
sails were again hoisted, and as the vessel
bounded over the waves, and the air of
the lake blew softly around me, I forgot
that my father would expect my return,
until the topmost spire of the fort had dis-
appeared. By nightfall, when the novelty
of the adventure had subsided, I turned to
look for the distant shore, and saw naught
but a waste ot waters. I begged the cap-
tain to return, but he delayed my request ;
I threw myself at his fect, but he was in-
exorable.

‘* Night came down upon the waters,
but it was not so dark as the gloom that
brooded oyermy heart. Suddenly, a dark
suspicion of his villany flashed across my
brain. ‘'wice did I look from my birth to
the dark waves that rolled beneath me,
and fancy that I would rather trust to their
embrace than yield to dishonor; but I
hoped that his heart might yet relent, and
induce him to restore the only daughter
to the disconsolate father.

“Trose onthe next morning from a
sleepless repose, when the captain ap-
prouched me with the smile of a demon.
and told me that I was his. I looked at
the far distant shores, just visible in the
horizon, and I knew that every breath of
wind, every stroke of the oars, bore me
farther from home, Then it was that he
told me how, more than twenty years ago,
he had deceived an Indian girl on the
border of this very lake, and that such
should be my fate. Last night we were
to have been marricd, but thanks to the
storm and to you, the priest has found a
watery grave, and the ruffian has met a
ruflian’s fate at last. Your mother, after
the lupse of so many years, knew him still,
for we can never forget the object of an
early attachment; and she has had a most
terrible revenge !”

The maiden ceased to speak, while
Mahtoree looked in wild astonishment on
the forms of his parents.

“Lady, I believe you,"he said. ‘In
early life they were one, andin death they
were united; they shall not be divided
now. In one grave shall they repose; and
I! the offspring of treachery and crime,
what shall be my fate 2”

With a heavy heatt the young Indian
made a grave in the sands of the beach,
and there placed the bodies of his parents,
with a solitary stone to mark the spot.
The pomp and parade of civic funerals
would have added nothing to the wild
sublimity of the scene. No bell was tolled,
no knell was rung, no prayer was said,
no voice was heard in wailing; buta soli-
tary eagle screaned from the topmost

spring of the dead, whose requiem was
heard in the sound of the waves, as they
rolled in sullen grandeur beside their
lonely graye.

Lhe next morning saw two beings. an
Tadian youth und a white maiden, embark-
ing in a small fishing boat, on the bosona
of Lake Eric. Mahtoree had proffered to
restore the being whom he had saved to
the bosom of her father; and, after laying
in a supply of provisions suflicient for the
voyage, he turned the prow of his little
boat in the direction of Fort Detroit.
While the y still lingered within sight
of the shore, he looked back from time to
time to the hills and the hut where he had
been reared trom a boy; but when the
topmost cliff, endeared by past memories,
had sunk into the hevizon, he turned hur-
riedly away, and nerved his arm to the
accustomed task with renewed vigor.
Thus journeyed the manly Indian and
the beautiful e-face, with tho sky above,
and a wide of Waters around them,
By imperceptible degrees she learned to
wield the paddle with great dexterity.
‘The Indian seemed to regard her as a be-
ing of superior intelligence, and he would
have worshipped her as such, or loved her
with all the ardor ofa first and impassioned
love, but he had no heart for such an at-
tachment. Scarcely a werd was spoken,

every wish before it was half expressed,
and how tenderly did he wateh while she
slumbered, so that even thedewsof heayen
might not harm her innocent pillow!
There was no eye to mark their pathless
vourse, no ew to hear the soft dip of the
pars. And yet the stars never looked up-
ma scene, on land or lake, with a light

love over pathless waters, confiding its all
to the honor and protection of a heart that

Day after day thus passed by. They
entered the mouth of the river, and coast-
ing in the shadows of the evergreens on
the shore, they urged their boat in sightof

bounded once more onthe shore, She

turned and beekoned to her preserver to
follow her, but his little boat shot out into
the current.
“Come! my father will reward you for
your kindness,” she said eagerly .
“No! I must away !?
“He will give you man

‘* No, it is all mine!” said the noble
youth, ‘This lake and these forests were

And another stroke of his oar boro him
still farther down the carrent. ‘The girl
stood for amomentin wild bewilderment,
and then running along the shore, that
her voice might be heard, she made wv last
appeal.
** Comeand be mine, then, brave Indian !
I will love thee forever!”
Mahtoree turned and gazed tenderly
upon her. Fora single moment his arm

and his fathers had endured, came over his
