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? W. 8.8 Select Hiterature, 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. as wellas of battle and bloodshed. Every valley has been conseerated by deeds oi womnly dovotion and manly heroism ; While above every ¢ and chil inal this geautital Land, harps are suspended, wait- ing patiently for the touch of the player bisa pleasing task to turn aside trou elds of blood and triumpas of valor, to aise Upon asinple tiule—a tale of love in the wilderness, More than tity years ago a solitary In- dian Wigwam stood ou tie Western shove ab bake durie, many miles south of Bort Detroit. Tt was surroanded by scenery the most wildand beautitul, On one sid’, atthe loot ol a gentle declivity, the wa ters of the huke gtittered in’ the: suntizit. 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 the clouds, Lhe ouly smoke that curled amon the tree tops, as far as the UNu could sec, arose from that lonely wig wath ; wand one but whermit or a poet would fave chosen for a habitation a spot so wild, so donely, and so beautiful ‘The cagle that Guilt his nest on the topmost erag, Unit moistened his pinious in the toraing dews, and kindled his eye with the eariicst beams, looked not Upon a spot wore fait, “Phe spectator who stood ou tie summit of that clit, might have wit aessed a scene of wild sublimity—the tovest, unmarred by civilized arts, way ing inthe Wind, the blue hills ascending like vouvous in the far horizon, and the beaut sal Hiv his tect, be wing like the ocean, withoutit single sail to mar its lonely tat deur, . 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 the evening star as it shone upon the hut St. John,N.B.

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.

The light approached, and the outlines of a strange vessel were dimly visible in the darkness, ‘The auperstiiious avd uttered n faint shrick of tefror, and even the father’s arm was paralyzed, while a will gust of winds anda wave like amoxntain, énysized the boat.
