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. skirted the shores of the lake. days since, in one of my solitary rambles T beheld a strange vessel approaching th shore. My heart bounded as I saw swelling in io glittoring in th e sunshine, I met the cap A dark frown passed over the features Stealing out, vory often when the sentries were asleep, 1 would roam at pleasure through the deep forests that A few C) it sight, with its broad sails 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 erag, and the only mourner was. the off- 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, ely a murmur was heard in all that ) » How quickly did he anticipate 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 nore pure. [t was a pilgrimage ot filial love over pathless waters, confiding its all to the honor and protection of a heart that would haye emulated Scipio's, 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 Fort Detroit. It was a bright moment in ¢ € ¢ r 3 the lite of that bewutiful girl, when she 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 come and dwell with us.” ‘* No, it is all mine!” said the noble youth, ‘This lake and these forests were once my fathers’, and they shall yet be redeemed |” 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 was palsied, buta thought of all that he and his fathers had endured, came over his heart, and waving bis hand in «last adieu, his boat glided down the current. The girl in frantic haste bounded off to the fort, and tearing herselt from the embraces of her triends, she sought the highest bat ment, and there watched his retiring he until shooting like su arrow ap viel river, it disappeared: forere” sight. et Mahtoree pursued Leet rg and never saw his 20 oa sought the wards} but, leapifore sen 7. if plunging inten fo rescue ae Ae encampr ele of the invader. eprore oo makiog,eae 7 land ? y acres of land; yah.
