Beioveii brother. Brother! So do I still name you, after a separalion of fifteen ye-irs, and call yoii so here, thousands of miles distant from you. I used to think thai, in my loneli¬ ness, I, indeed,would call you, fortbe first lime, brother, in right earnest; that I would live with you as with a neighbor—as with a living one —bear you in my hoar:, as nearest j that your form, fnll of love, animation, and gladness, would greet me every morning, kindly as the I.yacinth, imparling to ine freshness and vigor —-that hyacinih, whose bulb I brought with me from your window, and which, by dint of care¬ ful nurture, contiiiutjs to be a blooming flowei* Bnt, alaa! my brother, influence is life! We only live fur those on whom wehave influence, and tlm&e alone who influence us are for us alive. Thus, millions of living beings surround ns on earth, yet oniy as the dead. It is, never¬ theless, comfofiing lo know lliey live and dwell ainong us—like us enjoy the blessedness of ex¬ istence, and behold the sun and moon, which, ehiniiig in their gardens, in their dwellings—yea, whose light sparkles in tiieir eyes—become doubly ours, and unspeakably more dear, pre¬ cious, hoju-fnl, and beauteous ! Tender human¬ ity, mysiericuis union of mortals, refreshing nearness of diatanco ! Vet for us men the dis¬ tant one lives not. His life ended, his heart became shut nii, his thoughts and actions un known to us, from that liour when, for thc last time, our eyes met his. Since we last wera runsaiou3 of )iis exisience by ihe warm grasp of his hand, his living, tangible form has become for us only a colored, whispering, sliadowy image. Thus am I now as tlie distant one to iliee—away, far away, and you beliind, me !— And I can but imagine how you live, what you do, how you sleep, or how you wake- I can only guess ; i know il not. Such ns yon were, in those days which passed away in childish games and youtliful wanderings, arc you now 10 me, and in ilint unchanging form ever must remain. As in a real world of dreams, I wake up your image, and speak, and live with it—in a dream. Thus, man belongs entirety to the day—to the present. For this reason, nature hides from him his earlier_existence, and buries in the innermost depihs the former beingof lhe newly-born, and there guards it. How much slumbers there I And yet a preseni smaller pleasure effaces all former greater joys, and a present grief swallows up all former sorrows. We shed fresh tears for the friend wc bury to¬ day, while the beloved one, on whose grave, now grass-grown, we stand, as if in a dream All this is good, and as it should be ; each feel iug demands and acquires its right, which must bt; paid, he this right compassion, ot be it par¬ ticipation in joy. To-day, I pray you, give me your compassion. A sad fate has befallen him who, along with you, one mother once embrac¬ ed. Adversity has touched the friend—the brother, who now feels the need of you.
Once, from Luneburg, you sent me a short, despairing Idler ; on the first page twelve Jmes, the rest all blank. How often have J turned it over in order to believe that you were not really foolish. Meanwhile, the twelve linea have been kept for twelve years. Vour Euro¬ pean condition is aged and world-known. W^e need only name Rome, London, Vienna, or Berlin, to become actjuainied with what goes on. On the contrary, you may havo thoughtof me as a cerlain indolgent patient thought of her son, when it was reported'he had died abroad. She excused him, saying, *'0h, no, my aon can¬ not have behaved so iP. He would, at least, have written and told me." I will likewise not behave ill, and write to you, as I am not dead. Yet surely, sinco the flood, so great a misery has not been on earth.
Alas ! nature can be eternally new in the terrihle as in tbo beautiful. You think all in her is in such good order that she will quietly die away like an aged mortal. But where would such events have happened except in the young world V for this is the Und of the new and great—the becoming, not the become and the perishing, as wiih you.
After tltat dissolving of lhe Napoleon charm lhe battle of Aspern, which was won by the never-iQ-be-sufficienily-vahied, brave, and he' roic Archduke Charles, our small courageous band of Brunswick hussars, as if burned by bad priming, gave the alartn aud signals of dis¬ tress in wet ixjwder; and before Germany had yet risen, or yet shaken jiself free, we, liko cherry-stones pressed between two fingers, aped through the country, were obliged, in¬ deed, alniost tu fly-—in order to reach the North Sea, tho ships, and England, where, wounded, I at last arrived j not, however, so ill aa to disable me from accepting a quiet milita¬ ry ]iosi. "Was il to consume, in vexation of spirit, in Canada, a pension of a hundred guin¬ eas, that I, with hundreds of others, had bled in vain, as it ihen seemed ? AVe had taken the warning of ihe clock of time for the noise of striking; we heard amis.s, and said—"His hour is come.*' That which was in its decided and determined, wc ihought at tho same time must be ready to bo shown iu ilie outer world. Na¬ ture, however, first listens in hear whether we really honestly will, and then, for a brief space, ahe suliers her children to havc their way—a brief space, as you now see ; for she again lis¬ tens to know wheiher advance is earnestly will¬ ed by all.
I went to the New World as a capiain of mil¬ itia of a parish in Lower Canada. Theso kind of villages arc called lust; that is, as if a child of Micromegas, wandering through tho bound- lesr forest, had, by degrees, lost ont of Ins open hox,churcIiC3, houses, and fences. Tho houses stand all alone, each with its garden, its fields and meadows; each about a thousand steps from its neighbor, divided by woods, and only uniied by some river or road, like a few pearls by some poor maiden, strung on a silken thread, far apart. Except my dog, there was not a single kind look lo greet me when I en¬ tered my house. A thousand things were awaniing, aioruing, noon and night; most of all in the evenings. The present was awani¬ ing ; the future was so, too. In shorl, I want¬ ed a'wife, a child, or children, were I to re" main there, and wished to be happy.
It itf CLTiaiuly absolute folly to desire in a wife  everything like ourselvea—one with tho
Bame mind, eJi-caiion, knowledge, and aims	
By the very nature of man, the fulfilmentof such a wish is rendered impossible, and seeks ils end in men, in friends. A wife should be everylhing a man Is not—sliould possess every¬ lhing whioh a man has mil; sn ilim ti,e two combined make a perfect une! Such a con¬ trast to myseif I mighl have found among our angels in Luneburg; but these angels were not here. At the sarae time, in entering the mar ried state, it is desirable that there should ex¬ ist an inward union between busbad andn wife —that they should have the same senlimenis, and similar alma—that a correspondiog harmo¬ ny of mind should exist, produced hy the same previous modes of ihought or life. I would much rather have obtained for my life onewho, like myself, had lorn herself from her native land, and was here castaway. But, fortunate¬ ly for her, no snch unhapy odd was to be found here. Tbe next best seemed to be a danghter of one of the primitive races of the aoil, one who promised to give healih and atrength to our children. To this opinion, a young girl of seventeen, of the dying out tribe of the Algon- <juinB, brought me. She lived in our house, and was called Zoe. Without being exantly a slave, she perfotmed almost the tasks bf one; for those abofigineso, little attached to the land by the few fields of maize which here and there they cultivated, lived chiefly in the end- less foreats by hunting ; and sometimes moth¬ ers, driven by anxiety for food, gave, with a
knew lhe faiher of Zoe, having once been sent as deputy to the free Indians, to give them, by order ot the British government, variou* arti- ctes-^such as woolen covers, arms knives, scis- ' •OM, looking-glasses, kettles, some crockery ware and rum-w indulge them to keep on I friendly terms. In consequence of this, the ! aimple children of the wilds avoided ns, aa if they had deceived us. The charms and amia- bility of Zoe had no small share in aiding my soliloquy and deliberation on the matrimonial project. ' Before all oiher qualificationa, 1 must have in a wife,* aaifl I to myself, 'health ;' for if a wife is heaUhy, then is she cheerful, al¬ ways in good humor, and atrong to auflfer aor¬ row or feel joy, and, moreover, promiaes stabil¬ ity to lhe new condition. Without health, all other gifts are nothing, and Zoe is haalihy.— Secondly, a wife must be depended upon in ev¬ ery way and in every thing; for all her good qualities may bs transformed into evil if they do not wholly belong to us; but with the be¬ ing who loves, there is gentleness, patience and certainty. And whoever Zoe loves, she wil! love faithfully until death. Thirdly, she mnst feci and know what is necessary and appropri¬ ate ill a house, and mnst be willing lo put eve¬ rylhing in its right place, and do everything at tho right time. She must see that every one has what he wants, from the dear child in the cradli', to the dog in its chain. And ^oe is the 'eye and the soul of the house. Fourthly, she may have no riches of her own, save the ' three afure-menliuned posseafiions. And my reason was, Zoe is now just as rich as Eve was iti Par¬ adise. Fifthly, and lastly, she may be, for my sake, also beauiiful; that would nol prevent rno marrying. But this fifth is included in the rtrsi, namely, in heahh, which is ths symmetry of being; and tbe most beauiiftd countenance, il iniiat be confessed, is, after 365 days, only an everyday one to the husband ; perhaps, lo oihers not.' And Zoe was beautiful. So I built a house, and Zoo became my kind, gen¬ tle, and lender wife.
I was happy with this child of nature ; In¬ deed, I felt a species of veneration for her, akin lo what I felt for nature itself. I had formerly thought that cultivation alone made man or woman what they were—ihat education gave lhem ihcir worth, and made them something; hut here it was awanting, and yet Zoe was ev¬ erything lo me whicii could be desired in a wife. The more I felt the influence of her love, the more conscious I became that an inex¬ haustible treasure, a strength, an unused mirje of that wealth lay hidden in her heart, which, in our calmly-gliding life nnd fixed position, could not be needed—as, from an inexhaustible lake, only a tiny, qulai slream flows down through the verdant fields, nourishing the flow¬ ers where It runs, while the fulness of ils wa¬ ters, covered with a silver mirror, shine and rc' pose in iranquil conientmcni. This knowledgo pleased me well; but 1 earnestly hoped and prayed to heaven, that the hidden treasure might never be touched—that no calamity might bring it forth.
CHAPTER  II.
Tho blessings of marraige followed. We were given a little girl, who was called Alaska, after the inolher of Zoe. Judge me kindly— ' Whoever comes here from Europo brings with him immeasurable wishes. Ho feels wilh dis- ust, .sorrow, and vexation, almost with shame, the many spiritual and physical wants which are to him as indispensable- Before his eyes, life, with all its adornments and perfections, stands out as a finished afTair; while here ail is yet to be unfolded—to be done—if God also here rulesoverhiscreaturos. And he doesrule. Tho exile is miserable in having been obliged 10 leave hia country, even wero there nothing else to make him so. He wonld not have fied had he possessed sufficient riches to have ena¬ bled him to laugh at misery, tohave enjoyed dom¬ estic freedom, and to havo established a kind of home life. He comes here, and his first strong-, est desire (leading him, perhaps, almost nncon- [ sciously) is to acquire riches and greal posses¬ sions, inthe beleif that, ho willbe enabled to fonnd a family and assure ita continuance. Ho will not be the last of the old, but ihe ;first of the new—a grain of corn which has found at last its 'true climate for perpetual increase. There lived about three days' journey distant from us a Frenchman of the name of St. Real —a friend, whose child I once, when on a visii to him, saved from the water, into which she had fallen asshe was trying to catch some swim- minglilios which grew near to the bank. He pos¬ aessed a splendid mansion, large garden full of fruit-trees, rich plains round his dwelling for mites, woods and lakes ; in short, a principaliiy —a misuse oC thc word here, hut not of the thing meant. His daughter, however, died a short time afterwards, and to divert his grief, he came to pay us a visit. Onr Utile girl Alas¬ ka ran to meet our friend. Ho took her in his arms, pressed her lo his heart, sat down wjih her on n seal and burst into tears. As he look¬ ed at her he continued to weep. The child was touched, dried his tears, sighed deeply, and clasped its little arms round his neck. Zoe felt the tenderest sympathy with him. She ihoughi of what my feelings would be, had we lost our child, and raising her beautiful eyes upwards; seemed to thank heaven who had permitted us the happiness of siill possessing it. Our freind took a hand of Zoe and one of mine in each of
•ad Pleaaure." their children 49r that their live* might be
his, and entreated that tho child might live with him. * My wife is also dead,'he said. What wero we to answer ? Tho words,' My wife is likewise dead,' threw Zoe into profound grief for me, as if I had lost her, and then transfer¬ red il to lho friend, whose sad, pale counte¬ nance bore such traces of sufTering.
During the visit of Monsieur St. Real, Zoe presented me wilh a son, and the whole of her motherly tenderness and aflection seemed to descend now on tlio newly-born Infanij us at times we behold the whole power of the sun's raya stream from the narrow opening in a cloud. Her entire care and attention were so needful, it appeared as if all her love vere now wanted for the little stranger alone, while Alaska was, were, declared of age. As she had before been taken from her mother's breast, so was she now driven from her knee ; and the little thing sadly perplexed, indeed jealous, at being thrust so carelessly aside, took shelter with me, or i; the arms of her new father, who appeared to find again In her his former happiness, or, a^ least, to enjoy tha dream of it. Our new joy made him sorrowful- He wii?hed to return home, and he pressed me hard lo sufTer him to take Alaska with him. Oli, that I had regard¬ ed not this devotion of Zoe to her newly-born, this seeming lessening affection for her Alaska, and that I had not parted with my child 1 I surprised her with the request. She changed color, said * No,^ and, trembling, shook her head. But at ihat moment tho little Okki opene.i his eyes and demanded his morning meal. She pressed him closely with her left arm, while she threw her righl arm around poor Alaska, who, already dressed for travelling* nestled beside her, and knew not what .she was doing when she kissed her mother's hand, nor what was happening to her, when Zoe, as if in displeasure that she could leave ber, passed her hand over her forehead. And thus the tender, unconscious child parted from her mother—only for a short time, as she supposed, allured by a boundless curiosily to see the lambs ofher new father.
St. Real hastened away aa if he had robbed me ; while Zoe and I, stunned like the Chi¬ nese, whose robbers smoke opium from the roof, until those m the room are ao stupified and intoxicated, that, though they see their best treeaiires taken from before their eyea, they have not power to move. So we stirred not, and our treasure was taken in haste from us.
I have confejssed the motives which led mo not to withstand the entreaty ot my friend, namely, to see my child a wealthy heireaa—to see her -well-educated ; for^St. Real wo* learn¬ ed, noble, and virtuona. He was to execato a will in favor of Alaak^i he was already ad¬ vaneed in years, and his health not good. I saw all thia. for I had the eyes of the wicked, or.rather, of the Ught-minded;'I perceived it as if in asleep; I did not. wish to, think of it, In short, man-^-even a father—becomes through to strangers, in ox- his'deaires^hatefal^Vbntradicts his'best' aims frewived;   I and thrgw« awfiy. hi? .highest "Jmppiness,
will see the conseqoencoa of this contradiction ofnature.
Our daughter was gone; and, as if for a punishment, our liitle Okki died—our guardian spirit, such was tbe signification of his name. With hia losa, Zoe's aSbction became broken, and, from his little grave, ahe turned towarda her remaining child, for whom her heart now moat anxiously yearned; but it was- gone.— She waa cliildlesa, and through me. In her de¬ sire for her daughter, grief for her son became less bluer, into whose blue eyes she had had but a few glances, beheld him but fOr a few moons, and around whom but a few threads of love had been wound. The blow was to me aniooked for. On the life of my aon, I had counted in my reckoning. I couid not lake back my words. My best comfort was that not far from us a father was happy—happy through our child; and we might expect, from our youth, to be greeted by another little guar¬ dian spirit of domestic happiness. Bul I ex¬ pected this gift in vain ; for Zoe was penetrated wilh sadness, and wished no longer for a child, to sustain, perhaps, only a fresh loss. Ard thus we lived seven loug years. I avoided lak¬ ing my wife into a house where there were children, and, from love to me, she appeared likewise loshun going, for the sight of chjldre'h, even of one, made her unhappy, and gave her pain. I advised my old friend not to visit ns widi Alaska, neither did we go to visit him.— Zoe never made me sufier by any remarks ; at most, she only said—'Ah, ifour Okki had lived ;* on the contrary, she always endeavor¬ ed anxiously not to feel, thai she might appear cheerful and contented in my presence, even when she was alone. Such beings we call savages,* hut everywhere woman is capable of love, and everywhere love educates her.
Heaven at last rewarded us with a new guar¬ dian spirii. The boy was again called Okki, as if he were ihe flrst sent Ijack to us. With tears he was welcomed; to our joy he grew up. Ho was two years old, when Zoe could no lon¬ ger endure the thought of him not seeing his Bister, the sister noi seeing her dear brolher.— So we took a journey through the old virgin forest.
Al the same time Zoe punished me aeverely— too severely ; yet from kindness and good feel¬ ing, I doubled not. She obtained permission from me, just before entering the courtyard, not to make our daughter acquainted with our relationship to her- It was with a faltering voice, and eyes dim wiih tears, she made the request that she was not lo be known as her mother, I not as her father. We were, indeed, going only lo see our child, to pay her a visit ; ahe was not to return home with us, not to be laken back to her father's houso. And would she remain behind, if she knew us to be her real parents 7—willingly remain, if memories of her childhood should come over the poor mai¬ den, like silent, sacred stars breaking ihrough clouds, making dark those years which had passed away, from the hour she had left her home, until shc again found herself in her fath¬ er's, in her mother's arms—years that had been spent in happiness, now only to be remembered as worlhy of tears ? Or, should wc, should pa¬ rents, regard their children merely as property* as slaves from a foreign land, and have no con¬ sideration for their gentle, confiding natures, their childish feelings and inclinations ?—and if I, if Zoe, saw our daughter's love, could we sufler her p remain behiud ?
I could only conclude that ihe lovely girl who came out to receive (he strangers, and kindly welcomed them, was—our child. I had imagined I would find again a child of three years of age, and saw with surprise, indeed, wilh admiration, an elegant yonng person of thirteen, beautifully dressed, and slightly bluah ing, stand before me. What had I not lost bow many swesi transitions Trom childhood to yonth I I looked at Zoo, who aeemed to be aware of what pasaed wiihin me, but she saw and looked at her child only. Sbe was agitaied drew long breaths, evidently struggling to keep silence, which, however, sho did keep.
Thus I was obliged to enter tho bouse, and .witneas^how the m.oiher eniiyiained by her own daughter, as if obe were a stranger—how Okki was taken  on her knee,   without loving  him more than just as a child.   I was obliged to see how tall she had become wiihoui us.   Zoe had found in a cupboard aome old broken dolla wilh which her daughier had played. She was alone. I slipped quietly behind her, and observed how the  unruly tears  stole  over  her face, ae she seemed  lo follow, in her  mind, every  step of her child's progress, and to perform for her all the kind offices of a mother.    One day, as her daughter was kneeling besido the litilo Okki, who was playing in the grass, her hair became undone ; her tnother stooped down, arranged ii for her, and, fastening it up, kiased her cheek. As the sun suddenly bursting forth from amidst a veil of clouds, so tbis warm kiss of motherly afl'eciion seemed to cause a new tie of friend¬ ship suddenly to spring up from hidden and un¬ known love, which rapidly ripened and bloomed, overpowering me by its mysterious fragrance and beauiy.    Thus I was  shown, against my will, that love may be preserved wiihout being, exercised ; that mothers, not from compulsion, but from a pure innate feeling, love, care for, imd walch over lheir childreu ; thai auch careS; such watchings constitute their happiness.    If a rich mother gives her child to strangers to be educated in a distant nursery, she robs herself of the heat of a mother's happiness, in order to be—free, empiy, hollow;   and exchanges  for such freedom what the poorest but real mother would not, indeed could not, do without.    And j whoever scorns such pleasures, which are giv-1 en as holy to him as a being of nature, what others can find in all the rich world except those which make him neither happy nor  good—in¬ deed, which make him ceriainly worse.    I was made to feci, thai he who leaves his child lo another is the robber of hia own children, and a destrojer of   aflection.    For,   although  be, from blindness, may be enabled to live unloved, dare  he  rob  Ids  children or  child of love 7 Whatever may be learned or acquired in  the house of a stranger, it is affection only which most cerloinly, piously, and tenderly educate?. It is affection that imparts strength to endure the sorrows of life, and animates and heightens every joy ;  it Is the most precious and best pos¬ session of man.    And who ought to place such lovo  in the heart of a child but its   parents 7 Oihers may teach, but to fill the heart with love, to impenetrate it with  affcction^ihat eiheral osonce, more divine than warmth and sunshine —Is more than a mere teacher can do, because he does nol so love.    Ho cultivates the mind, the understanding—not the heart and the soul. Lovo only can pour love into the  hearl; and parents only are so rich therein, that hourly, daily, unweariedly, they  fan  the  flame, and seek to imparl it in the morning prayer or In the evening hymn.    Even a iliief as a parent, a sinful one as a mother, have a thousand ad¬ vantages for children.    They will the more earj, nesily warn and leach, because they are parents, what they ihemEclves suffer.    Sin and misery their children musl not endure; no, they must be pure, and'remain happy.    And should lho poor children anspect the lives of tfaeir parents, they weep for them, bnt still love them.    What then is so necessary to  havo in our hearts as love ? By it, true obedience ia planted ; endu¬ rance of the hardest fate, sometimes without j type or living example.   What keeps millions, of men ao calm and quiet 7   What keeps tho poor woodcutter in the forest from slaying the rich man who rides paat him with silver atur- rups, flouriahing his switch ? Wbiat keeps the poor servant honest, who works hard, close, it may be, to the silver cheat ? or the daily labor¬ er, wbo, with hia few pence in hia hand,haatens from the palace, delighted to bring His wages to his wife and children ? What makes him con¬ tented, bnt love to his family, which as a child he learned—that honesty towards them, now extended to all the world, on which he looks, with the same eyes as he regards bis wife and children,, aa tho eyes of; his parent .looked oii him7 AVhat makes him hBppy,exceptthe knowl¬ edge of  thia   internal   good—this gentleness which has been exeicised for years—xhe.blessr cd weight of love which makes man adore €iod, thegiverofall blossedness-antj'of .which nq rnan can deprive his fellow ? - i ' ¦.
On the morning of out departure/ZgeiTyhoif
at a jhort distance, mado^her daifgUier under¬ stand that aha waa her mother. < My child ¦' ube exclaimed, while she pressed her hearl wilh her hand.' *
Alaska, trembling, and with unceriain ateps, attempted to fdltdw her';' 1)ar'fer''feEffefi1sed' their office. She becarhepalo as marble, and, with outatreiched arms, fell on the ground.
Zoe's eyes glanced fire.. * Away 1' ahe cried, * let ns begone!* while she haatily tried to push forward. The little Okki'bad, rheanwhUe, stretched out bis hands towards Alaska ; and Zoe,'too weak to hold hira, let Mtri faU from her arms. He ran towards-his.sister. The moiber stood still. Alaska raised herself up from among the flowers where she had fallen and aaid, with a aigh, ' You are surely not my moiher V
Okki had put his tittle arms round his sister's neck. Zee could resist no longer, and flew in¬ wards her children, tenderly embracing them ; while I likewise hasieried lo them, and pressed them to my heart. We remained with Alaska May.
CHAPTER nr.
The spring waa beautiful. The lovely pink blossoms of tha peach, and ihoae of the apple-trees, brilliant as rubies, filled out or¬ chard with luxuriant promise. Our bees were busy, even when night fell; they had not far to go, for tho budding pines from whence they drew their sweets bounded our field vvith their waving lopp, like a high caatle wall of verdant greeu. We dwelt in a boundless park of na¬ ture's making, covered as it were with an in¬ terminable roof of waving wood. Branch with branch were so interwoven, thdt a squirrel needed not to make the slightest spring, bot could run along this sea of green, aa a spider over a thickly-woven field of clover. And whai a mystery was even a single tree ! Shot np from lhe fruitful earth as a flame of green; high as a tower, and full of branches, from the gronnd lo the highest point, while every branch sparkled with blossoms- An airy, fragrant pal' ace for a pair of birds^nay roomy enough for a whole family. No king could dwell so pleas¬ antly, as the parrot in these thousand shady halls. Let no one tell me that man can exhausi all the enjoyments of the earih—tliat nature has not other families for whom it preserves pecu¬ liar undreamt of delights—for whom it conse¬ crates oiher fountains of pleasure noi under¬ standable to man, mysteriously sacred, close to him and around him—in ihe sea, in the river, in the forest, in the rose—yea, in a drop of wa- ter 1 Thinking thus, I beheld with astoniah- ment lhe forms of the clouds, as in procesaion they tolled on. I heard wilh silent delight the crackling of the burniug wood, as it flamed on , the hearth—I held the shining feather of a dove with admiration towards thc sun, as still iu the presence of the feather of tho eagle it seemed to quiver. The winged seed atom of the sugar- maple, the fructifying dust of flower-blossoms, the elastic needle of the fir-iree—all filled me with awe ; and now the mighty forest appeared as a charmed palace full of mystery—a miracle of fairy natnre, full of her own power und splendor. Thus lo imagine, thus to dream was my—was human enjoyment. And yet nainre was about todestroy this fairy kingdom —perhaps for the good of man. How could I think otherwise? Only by thought could the fiery deluge be mastered-that is to sny, if the mind, like the body, did not become hurt and blinded like the outward eye.
To Noah, angels came and announced to him the coming destruction of every Uving thing, that he might save himself. Who came to us in the desolation of the forest—no one V Yes, the messengers from heaven were sent also to ua—a comet, a second, a tbird ; but we meu understood lhem not. It was summer ; there was a dry, withering, suffoca'ing heat. My peach-trees, my applc-trces, had blossomed vain—in vain, the whole kingly forest. Yet how beauiiful it was, even to the last! Who shall ever ace it here again 7 Perhaps not even the sun, although he closes not his eyes like men, as the whole human race perchance musi do. We couid only think over tho calamity with our god given reason, which ceriainly re aembles an angel who is ever, present, llvinj with us, seeing for us,, and leading us. Thus every man had his own.
The grain was prematurely ripe, and without body ; the water-springs   wero sealed up, the' brooks quite dry, the rivers shallow, the waters in tho ponds shrunk from  their edges to their centffrs.     Nature  ihirsted   and   languished.— Even the heavy dew which used to fall during the night like rain, and  in   the  morning  drop from the  leaves   of  the  iree.-*, as if there had been  a   thunder  shower, no longer  refreshed, them.    The stems and Irunks were hot—warm oven to the touch at dawn ; the branches were wiihout strengih ; the  pointed  needles of  the pines, pale and   withered ; while  ihe  foliage, discolored as  in auiumn, drooping and sucred, fell   to   the  gronnd without a breath  fiiirring it—unshaken   hy  any  siorm.     The   fir-trees, larches, and pines, sweated black drops as if in agony; honey streamed from the high, natural hives, and the  tall graas, when stirred by the slightest wind, rustled like straw.    A  fiash  of lightning might sel thc wbsle forest in a blaze. Was it right quietly to remain  in the fond be¬ lief *ihat  no  evil   would  befall   ns,'we who wero more particularly the 'children of God,' aa  many a  pious  wife  said (find mine also,) when a  tempest came, and unr next neighbor was killed, who had  said   the same, und who was also a child of God 7    Ought   we  to trust our lives lo the conceit thai no breaih of wind from heaven would blow 7 for upon the mere breath—the burning coal of an Indian—huug our lives—the lives of all the inhabitants of the woods—who  through him  might speedily   be converted into shadows—into dust.   But man, dependant every moment on the protection of Heaveu,  assured  in   his  accustomed  repose, trusts, although warned, up to the lasl mornent- Before we could see anything, it came.    We were conscious, during the night, of a pleasant smell spreading around ns.    Afier a few days, it became too strong, too bitter 7 and at last we smelt burning.    Our eyes became heavy ; some persona   laughed, others  wepi,  wiihout  well knowing why.    Innumerable flocks of pigeons fiew over us, darkening the sky, and casthig ns it were a whirring flying shadow on the ground. Formerly, ihey came to our fields in harvest- time when our  crops  were   ripe.   * Wliere is their pigeon-house V asked Okki, who saw them for the ftrst time.   Wild turkeys followed them ; these were so weaned, they fell close to ns, and were caught.    They bent their heads and long black necks to the earih, and when hands were thrust out  to catch  lhem, they  merely drew their while eyelids o^ver their eyes.    Their was now   perceptible  in   the  west  a smoko as of brushwood burning, which, in the morning sun, threw   out  a  fearful   heat—long,  long  white wreaths of it glided like streams into the val¬ leys.    At first, a thin amoke, becoming by de¬ grees dense  and more dense, veiled the whole heavens ;   the   sun  appeared  blood-red,   ihen dark, then dim, and finally disappeared.    The amoke, heavier  and denser, sank deeper  and deeper, until at last, like a mist, it filled everY Bpacei and enveloped all.   Life stood still.— Every one ceased to work'.
'And I was the man to whom the care of this scattered villago had hoen entriistcd; butthe most experienced inhabitants comforted me.— Might it not be that new settlers were effecting a clearing? a thing which happens every year. Might they not bo buming in order to make space for houses, gardens, -and.fields; and should the flames havo spread raiher fnrther than they intended, what did it signify 7 Tbo flames would at length reach tlie treeless sa¬ vannahs, the lakes, rivers, or niountain rocks; or rain and frost would at last extinguish them 1 Thus every one bore bis neighbor's burden.
Wben, bowever, not only hares and deer, like shadows flew past us, even during the day, through the veil of amoke, but likewiae wild oxen and buffaloes; when bears roared, and wolves howled; when even the sly fox came, then we felt .assured-, tbo. conflagration .could not be far from us, altbough, as yet, wa saw JIO fire. Bat .when, an elk from the northern woods showed Jtadlf^ wbpa from those in tho south'a tiger-fBt hod been seen, then we:knew the bornhig^^mtaft lie great;; When men came from a-iemotQ viUege^Jituated in the n^est,
along with others whose habitations, were still moro distant;' and when these were met by the inhabitants'of a village in the east, who like¬ wise had fled—ihen, indeed, it seemed as if we were surrounded by the devouring ej»mpnt.
A council was beld. The alarm Was soumf- ed. We met In the open spaco before the church. The strangers aat down and rested, without even taking their burdens from their ; ahoulders or .untying their bundles. Our wifes and children distributed food amongst them.— Noue said »I thank yoa,* it seemed then so natural to give and receive. Some of those wanderers slipped into the open church tooff?r up their prayers ; and aa they knelt, worn ohl with fatigue, they aank back exhausted, and fell fast asleep.
' We cannot go into the burning wood,* aaid one. 'Only an eagle eould show where the fire was oot.'
Oh, there musi be   a  hundred  ways out,' cried a second.
• Perhaps ; but we know them nt»t, and might misa them.'
' Had wa provisions enough,* said a thiid, ' we might seek the woods the Are has left.— You know the trunks of the trees stand after the flames have passed ; all the serpents, wild animals, and noxious insects are destroyed; and we have only the fulling of the acoiched leafless trees to dread, for their roots become as char¬ coal. But how are we to know or find those blackened woods 7'
' To the savannahs,' cried a von-e.
'Lead us,' exclaimed the rest.
* Could we but reach the LoreP-:o River; shouldbe safe,' said oihers.    T
'^an is too distant; and even the towit-,'/!/'' .01 secuie from the power of so fierce ar ftnent.'
Fresh helplessness—fresh lartJSts ! Hnman reason had become useless; humnn knowledge vain. Oracles had ceased ; aud therefore the agonized multitude followed each in his own delusion, his own belief. A small number, at¬ iracied by u gleam of light iu the sky, which, by the wind for a moment dispelSmg the smoke, waa rendered visible, went northwards. 'There it is not so dry,' was their comfort. They scarcely said farewell. No one looked after them. Others resolved to follow ihe direciion of the wild animals.
' But they meet each other,' interrupted some one.
' These are only the siupid oxen,' added a second.
So they too departed. The greater number followed an old man, merely because his name was Noah, as if he were leading bis sons and daughters, and all into the saving ark,... And yet no one smiled !
Now I have only to caro for myself, that iS; for my own. Zoe was sitting at home weeping for her daughter; but she quiikly made the preparations I advised—namely, lo dress our¬ selves us hunters, our dresses being mado na niuch as possible of leather, with hats to pre servo our e.yes. Ho.vv- wcre'.we to get on, if wc look with us much provapiler, and would we fiud water ? We resolved to lake only on milch ass, and quickly to lad« her with what was indispensable. Not a siiii»lo servant was (o be found in ihc house ; all were gone. One stepped up to the door, and told lis sho was go¬ ing away. * i\Iiiy God be widi you,' we re¬ plied. Zoe untied the catlle fiom their fasten¬ ings, gave the turkeys nnd pigeons their liberty, and put everylhing in the best order, as if, in¬ deed, some heavenly guest were expected.— When she had finished doing what she consid¬ ered her duty, sho brought, for our lasl meal, one of the large turkeys rnastod, whose red head still looked bright. Glad of ihe short re¬ spite, we were in silence, and teemed as if we would gladly have prolonged (if possible) that meal for years. Grief seemed'lo bid me enjoy and drain to the last drop my preseni pleasure, seated in my own home, surrounded by those I lovod—that peculiar happincsi of humanity.— But lhe hour of departure t-as come, Zoe, with tears, relurned a fervjni thanksgiving when our meal was finished. ISho fell on my neck, and said,'May God again re»ioro us to our home ; may we again si| here, as today, after we have passc(I""ihro"rigB*Blttrering.' Lit¬ tle Okki, loo, raised hia hands and wept, be-, cause he saw tears in our eyes ; and God looked in pity on them; but?«y prayer was not heard ; I had heen found wanting.
Wo are needed elsewhere,'siglied Zoe.— • That thought only drives mo away ; otherwise %ve might as well die hero. We might remain and nourish the old and help the sick, who must be left—left, alas ! with ihemselves and God alono.    But I—I must away.*
The 033 was laded wilh some blankets, a small bed for Okki, and a few other necesaary articles. Zoe was habited liko a huntsman, and seemed to take leave of herself; she saw herself in the glass, me behind her, and lob- served her eyes swam in tears. But compo¬ sure was neceasai-y. We looked around the room; nothing was forgotien. Okki was ile- hghled at tlie thoughts of riding ; and Zoe could not refuse the litile foal of an ass to follow its mother as it was In the custom of doing, as it now was able to pick up food for iiself. Never¬ theless lo run conld not save us.
As we were on the point cf starling, I slept up cIo50 to lho wiudow, and shading my eyes with my hands, glanced hastily round that room in which human beings had apent so many happy hours, lu the center, stoud lhe table of maple-wood, at iho fireside, the now forsaken arm-charm. There was Zoe's small work-iable i of muhogany, with the half-finished stocking lying on it, while the painted rocking-horse of Okki, standing iu a corner, assumed a gloomy appearance. A mocking spirit aeemed to look at me from the mirror; it was the silent reflection of myself. Oh the mysieriousncss of still life— of parling !    We departed.
Whither were wo to bend our steps in that labyrinth of wood ? Only according to circum¬ stances could I act; in vain had I a compass.— As the othera I mentioned followed thc old man called Noah, as wo now followed Ariadne, our dog, who fancied we were going again to visit our Alaska.
