" What was it about, Mr. Slocum." '•I'll read the 'count, wife, and then you will know all about it." li: this way we travelled on, until we camc to tlio La Vacn, where we purposed resting a day to rpcruit oijr horses. That night it fell to my lot to stand guard over them. The moon was shining brightly, and taking my gun in my hand, 1 sat down wiih my back against a fallen tree, in such a position as to command a " bird's eye view" of the camp and its vicinity. 1 know not how long I had been thus sealed when all at orce the moon became eclipsed, and the horses seemed to.increase i 1 size, until it appeared to me they formed but one huge shadowy animal. 1 remember trying to l-ecall to mind whether or not 1 had ever before seen such an eclipse, and also endeavoring to reason philosophically willi myself upon the strange phenomenon of the horses ; but the next mornjng when I awoke, not a single horse was to be seen. With secret misgivings, I hastened to the spot where we had staked them out, but all were gone, saving my poor mustang, who lay dead on the ground, with several arrows still sticking in his side. This explained all. The Indians, who had perhaps been waiting several days for an opportunity to steal our horses, had takrn advantage of the eclipse of the moon to do so; and as my mustang, no doubt, had refused to go any course except his own, (I had, myself, noticed at times this amiable little trait in his character,) his death was the consequence.

And Mr. Slocum contirtned his In the course of a few hours the committee returned, bringing with them a sufficient number of horses to remount our company ; but as most of them were vicious, half broken devils, just taken from the prairies, it was some time before we could bring them to terms. Fortunately for ine, the one that fell to my lot was rather less fractious than the resf, and 1 only received two kicks and a bite before I was fairly seated in the saddle. At soon as we had examined our arms, to make sure that all was right, we set off on a full gallop upon the trail of the Indians, which at first was plainly visible amidst Jj;e tall graj»s of the rich prairie bordering the river. Apparently much elated by this effort at castle building, he put spurs to his horse, nnd dashed off at so rapid a rata that I found considerable difficulty in keeping up with him. Gradually, however, as the excitement wore off, he slackened his pace ; and repeating the question I had asked a few moments before—why he bore such » hatred to the Indian raoe, he replied: " Stranger, they killed my father, mr mother, my brothers and my sister*, and they would haue murdered me, too, if I had not been preserved by Providence to revenge their deaths. I'll never forget that dny, stranger!

And now it was that the genius of my friend Nathan begon to show itself.
