Unspotted from the world!—A child in spirit— A TPonian's heart, an ansel'e peacefol smile—
What more from heaven can tills girl Inherit Than hearen hath laylibed on her all the while 1
Uaspotled from the worldl—Tet care and sorrow She felt, for daUy bread ia hardly won—
Care for to-day—while hath the dark to-morrow Its loads nnllghtened, and Its tasks undone.

Which she hath worn for all—and Is alono.

Unspotted from the world !—Her brow is placid, Ear sweet eyes shine undimmed by earthly tear.*,
Her lips smllo ever—sofJly—und efaced By the grave lines that bitter sorrow wears.

BEATTTY OUT WEST; Or, How Tbree Fasbionable Tonng La¬ dles Spent a Tearln the'Wildernesa.
ny   METTA  VICTORIA  FDLLER.
CHAPTER I. " This is better tlian Newport or Saratoga, fatber," said Maggie Satlierland, turning her beautiful eyes from the anrronnding scenery to her parent's face.
'Yon are hasty in your judgment; you will weary of this before the end of amonlh.' remarked Louise, gravely.
'Never!' said Maggie. '
'Never—no, never I it is delicious 1' cried Blanche, jumping up and down two or three times upon the elastic turf. ' I am positively obliged to you, papa, for becoming poor, since it has compelled us to live here. Wlio wonld have thonght' Out West' was such a nice place, so romantic, and to have to live in a log-house!'
The hour, the scene, and the group were admirable. It was five o'clock in the after¬ uoon of a fair June day. A broad, bright river rolled away into the sunny distance her fore the eyes of the four persons standing upon its banks; behind them a thick wood broke the gold of the slant sunlight into em¬ erald arches, over which the countless leaves kept np a murmurous whisper.
The boat wliich had left this party upon the shore was fading out of sight against the northern sky, as she swept on with speed to¬ wards the Sault St. Marie. Beneath a clus¬ ter of elms which grew upon the gently slo¬ ping banks in advance of a boundless forest of pines, stood a log-hut; and hy the empty furniture-boxes which were scattered around, and the blue smoke curling out of the stick chimney, it seemed already somewhat pre¬ pared for its expected occupants. The own¬ er of the hut with his three daughters stood upon the bank. He was a man of cultiva¬ tion and society, whose wealth had been swept from him suddenly by speculation, leaving him only this possession in the west¬ em wildemes3,out of his once immense estates. He had never troubled himself to inquire into its beauties or capabilities while he had country honses on the Hudson, and marble palaces iu the city; but when he ibund him¬ self without palrtoe or oonntry hont'e, he be* thonght him to search out this hidden comer and, if it was habitable, lo retire to it for the present, from the commi.s era tion of friends and the triumph of enemies. So that when, a few weeks previous to the time of his present arrival, the steamer had dropped him upon this bit of heautifal earth, ha was as much deliglited as surprised to find it so in¬ viting, and hegan already to imagine himself again rich upon the prospects of its future value.
' My daughters are sensible girls,' he so¬ liloquized as he gazed arouud ; * they can make for themselves sources of amusement and live for a. while without society. As for me, I am tired of it I'
He forgot that his children were youug, and curious to taste ofthe pleasures of whioh he had. grown weary; and was almost dis¬ pleased with the dismay they expressed, when, upon his return, he announced to them that as soon as they could prepare themselves, they must accompany him into the wilderness.
' It is barbarous !'said Blanche, weeping, 'and I shall be so afraid of the Indians.'
' There are no Indians lo be afraid of, I suppose,' murmured Maggie, ' but we can never go out to gather wild-flowers or ber¬ ries, for fear of the terrible rattlesnakes.'
' The rattlesnakes are as few as the In¬ dians,' said the more gentle and older Louise. 'We shall bave nothing to fear hut ourselves. If we are resolved to be miserble, we will be. I, for one, am ready to do as our father thinks best.'
'You are a brave girl,' replied Mr. Suther- erland, kissing her; and as the othera were ambitious lo merit his approval also, they made prodigious attempts to be cheerful— Blanche murmuring, soito voce—
' Was there ever, ever a young girl, before me, tom from the anticipations of Newport, from the home of her childhood, from her youthful associations, from her beautiful, beautiful walks through the avenue, and those loves of things to see at Stewart's and the Dusseldorf Gallery, and her best friends, andthe opera, and the confectionera, and doomed to be imprisoned in a hateful log- house among the savages ? never, • never, never!' and sho stifled a quiet little sob, which had crept into her throat and broken her last sentence.
So here they were upon their new domains, Louise sat npon a heap of baggage, sedate and dignified iu her tr-iveling-dress, looking with something like regret at tha fading boat, whose merry party had jnst bidden them farewell. She was twenty, fair and noble to look upon, and distinguished by an elegant and somewhat cold demeanor. She had been three seasons in society; yet, for some reason concealed in her own bosom, was as yet neither married nor engaged.
Maggie had tom off her hat and veil, and thrown them at her feet, her large dark eyes, the only really beautiful feature she pos¬ sessed, dilating and shining with enthusiasm. She was eighteen, and, we are almost afraid to write it, a bit of a poet; though, aa no one out of the family suspected it, it did not pre¬ vent her brilliant spirits, quick sympathy, and graceful manners from making her a fa¬ vorite.
Blanche was fluttering about like a bird • now peering into her father's face, or curi¬ ously towards the collage, Ihmstmg her small shoe into the faces of violets with a dainty sauciness, and tossing pebbles into the river. It did look strange to see her therel And yet what more beautiful surroundings could be fonnd for one so beautiful ? For Blanche, as yet not seventeen, was going to be the belle of the family. The lustre of her eye, the bloom of her cheek, the sweetness of her lip, the tones of berTOice, the motion of her step, had a oorrespondent and unspeakable loveliness, which was hers alone.
"I declare, papv she apoke again, sud¬ denly, "we shall all be oldmaidBlf we live here, wasting our sweetness o« tbe desert ^i   I had not thought of that before."
«Wo «b^ t*Te to people these flolitndes with Idftftl'men/and be content with them. I knctif- tJut^i;;o*t» ooDjure up a epxrit supe-
rior to those Nei\port idlers," replied Mag¬ gie, while Louise looked off upon the river with a sigh, and said nothing. "Wliat would Maud Arabesque think of it?" she continued. "She would die of absolute stagnation pf soul in less tban two weeks."
"Now, my dears, I should not wonder if something very tragic or romantic, or at leaat amuaing, shonld happen lo n», even in thi? out-of-the-way place," said Mr-Sutherland, "and my proposition is, that Maggie, who is so fond of paper and ink, ehall keep a faith¬ ful account of our adventures through the ensuing year, beginning from the present moment."
"Oh, papa, what a delightful man you are!" was the assent of the youngest to the proposal, and giving her literary sister a lit¬ tle hug aronnd her waist, she continued, "Don't you refuse, Passiou-Flower, (Fasaion- Flower was her prettiest name for Maggie, which she only gave her wheu in most excel¬ lent humor,) "will you ? It will be so admi¬ rable to read to Maud and the others, to make them open those magnificent eyes which were so languishing and liatly.";^ at the sea¬ side."
"Provided there should bo anything to make them open their eyes," suggested Lou¬ ise.
"Well, I am willing to make the attempt," said Maggie; "still, I apprehend that, after a few pages, recounting how we learned to got breakfast and wash dishes; how one night we heard a wolf howl in the forest and were dreadfully frightened; how we, have a bird concert every moming; and how a dirty old Indian put his head in at the door and grunt- a wish for 'fire-water'—our journal will waste away into a blank sheet for want of su.ste- nance."
"You must begin at all events," was llie unanimous conclusion of the party; and as Blanche began to complain of hunger, they were reminded that they had not yet taken a peep into their future home.
Maggie plucked a branch of wild-rose bush, and, running forward to the threshold, held it over the heads of the others as they en¬ tered, to symbolize the beauty, love, and sini- plicity which were to be the penales of the new household.
If Louise, who being the eldest felt the most responsibility resting upon her, had not been of a brave heart and substantial mind, she would have been discouraged at the first glance. There was but one main room, which ran the whole length of the house, leaving upon one side a row of small windows, and upou the opposite a row of doors, which doors opened into four little sleeping-rooms. A carpenter, whom Mr. Sutherland had enga¬ ged at the nearest village, had, however, erect¬ ed a rough shanty against the back end of the house, whicb was to serve during the warm weather for a kitchen. It waa out of the stick chimney of this addition tbat the smoke was curling; for the man, having been at work when the furniture arrived, had kindly set np the cook-stove, and such other articles as he felt at liberty to handle. Con¬ sequently there were chairs to set upon, and a table to receive tbeir outside traveling ap¬ parel. .
The girls looked around the great rude room, and then silently iuto each othera faces; a simultaneous (ind hearty burst of laughter relieved the apprehensiins of tbeir father, who was secretly trembling for the effect of this introduction.
"Well done, my children! lam glad to hear you laugh. I think I shall have cour¬ age to commence work with a good-will;" aud lie gave tliem each a kiss before he pas¬ sed out the backdoor to find his mau.
"Wa'al; so yon have arriv'?" asked the carpenter, who was just coming out of the forest with some dry sticks to,replenish the fire.
"Yon'll find the work you give me all done; the kitchen's up, yon see, aud the purtition through the bed-room, and the rufs mended so that it'll not leak tbia season. And I jist thought I'd put up tbe stove and the kittle over, and have a fire, so that you could be gat- tin'you something to eat; for it ain't like as it is in town, where you cau go to the grocery and buy things. I see you've got a barrel of flour and other things like to last a good while."
" Yes, I thought of the provisions," replied Mr. Sutherland, smiling. "lam mueh obli¬ ged to you for doing your work so promptly; and now, as it is towards evening, if you will assist me, we will unbox these beds and set them up, and move the rest of the furniture into the house."
"But first, father, will you not open the flour-barrel, and the tea-chest, and the sugar- barrel, and the crockery-crate, so that I can prepare supper?" asked Louise, coming out into the kitchen with an apron tied over her beautiful travelling-dress.
The carpenter, who had removed his hat with a genuine impulse of respect, and re¬ mained gazing while the young lady spoke, burst forth as aoon as she retired—
" Bless my heart, sir, yon ha'inl brought that young cretur' to live out here in the woods, have ye ? She don't look as if she could stand it; it'll be awful lonesome for her; she's a ra'al lady, no mistake."
" I have two other daughters to keep her company," was the reply. " They are good girls, and would be happy anywhere with each other."
Still the father sighed ; perhaps he doubt¬ ed what he asserted. Youthful spirits, how¬ ever elastic, will gradually lose their happy rebound after being long depressed by soli¬ tude.
Now all were busy. Mr. Sutherland, him¬ self a very indolent person, took life from tho animated manner in whicii those fair young beings entered into tbe spirit of the occasion. While the bedsteads were going up, Louise consulted her " cook-book," and Maggie and Blanche arranged the table.
" Where is the silver, Louise ? I want some knives and spoons, and the cake-bas¬ ket," cried Blanche, after she had carefully disinterred the tea-set from the straw in which it had been packed, washed it^ and placed it upon the table.
" It is in my smallest trunk, doar; but I think that you will hava to dispense with the basket until I get time and eggs to bake some cake for it."
" Not I," laughed the young giri ; " did not I go to onr baker's almost the last thing, and buy a plum-cake large enough to last us half a year ?"
"Blanche was bom with a • sugar-tooth,'" said Maggie; "trust her to remember the sweets. You have got a streak of flour down the side of your cheek, Louise."
" And you've torn your dress on the nails in that box, my dear Maggie,
plea, my^ pretty siater; hut I think that I have seen the haughty blood, bum in your cheeka at the approach of some coarser clay to your 'ermiued pride.' "
"Ah I vice, or fllth, or sensuality, ormobo- oracy is dreadful, Louise, is it not ? bnt no¬ thing else is to be despised;" and as she flitted aroand, flniahing the arrangements of the table, she tung to herself—
" What right can you have God's other works to scorm desplsQ—rerile them Id the gross, as mere men, broadly—not as noble men. forsooth— But as Pariahs of the outer world, forbidden to osaail thom. Id IUb hope of liring, dying, near that fiweetness of yonr month."
So^n the tinkling of the little bell announ¬ ced tea. The carpenter went down to the river and washed hia face and hands therein; took a wooden comb from hia pocket and smoothed his hair, put on his jacket, and joined the company around the board. lion¬ ise had laid aside her aprou; a flush of plea¬ sing pride kindled in her cheek as ahe saw the gratified glance her father cast upon hor as she handed him his tea. " This, at least, looks like home," he said, A plate of light white biscuits warm from the oven liad rewarded the care she took in making tbem; there was a dish of West India .sweetmeats, and the basket of cake which Blanche had provided. A roll of but¬ ter and a pitcher of milk they had purchased from tlie steward of the boat.
" Wbat will we do for milk when this is. gone ?" w^B a question which suddenly oc¬ curred to Maggie.
"We must have a cow, I suppose," replied the head of the family, "Do you know where I can purchase a good cow, Mr. Hig¬ gins ?"
"Yes. I've got a fust-rute one that I've about made up my mind to sell. Can't fiud a better cow no where in this part of the country !"
" Ob, papa, don't buy * the cow that gives buttermilk," cried Blanche, laughiuglv; "I detest sour milk."
Mr. Higgins stared in her mischievous face a moment, and then burst into a loud laugh which shook the table.
" I thought, may be, you was in arnest," he remarked.
"But who will milk the cow?" was the question suggested by the practical Louise.
"Sure enough!" ejaculated Mr. Suther- l.ind.
" rn larn ye, in welcome," said the good- natured carpenter. " You can larn in three minits."
"If I must, I must," sighed the gentleman. Just then, looking up and catching Blanche's eyes renting upon him full of amusement, he colored.
"It is nothing to washing dishes, papa," she said.
And so, to avoid being shamed by the su¬ perior courage of bis children, he was obliged to put a cheerful countenance upou the matter.
After tea Mr. Higgins started for home—a walk of nine miles, as he lived just a mile nearer than tbe nearest village—promising to return the next forenoon with the cow, and .also to get some articles in town which Mr. Sutherland, with all his forethoubgt.bad forgotten to provide, aa well as a few which were of his own suggestion—milk-pans and a churn. " For," he said, " the young ladies would bev to make butter, or, most probable, go without, a good part of the time, as he judged thoir father wouldn't care to walk to Smitbfield often; though, for his part, he didn't thiuk nothing of ten miles and back." The dishes were washed up by the two older girls, wbo declared that Blanche, having snch a horror of that operation, should be freed from performing it for the present at least. )
" Keep your fingers as dainty white as you please," said Maggie, " Poor papa is such a lover of beautiful things that he will need something to be as pretty and delicate as possible in the midst of our plainness, and it shall be yon, Blanche. Yea tbat shall be your duty—to be .as elegant, as sweet, as lovely as you can be, that he may have something to love and admire."
"Now, Maggie dear, how cau you be so foolish about me ? I shall share the priva¬ tions and the toil, of course;" and tears came into Blanche's innocent eyes
A weary family it was which slept that night for tbe first time uuder the roof of a log-house: too weary to think much of the novelties or inconveniences of their new sit¬ uation, but reaping the first reward of mod¬ erate and cheerful labor, in a sluinber deep and refreshing. So that the morning found them buoyant and undismayed, though sur¬ rounded by tasks that they knew but poorly how to peafonn.
"Our one apartment is too large; let us proceed to divide it up into such room.^ as we have need of," said Louise, and laughed at tlie inquiring looks of her companions.— " First," she continued, " we will divide off tbe upper portion for our parlor ; the middle shall be sitting-room and library, the lower end our dining-room. It is true that the wall which divide them will be Intangible, but tbey will exist in our minds, and, being only in imagination, will be all the more cool and stately this warm weather. Quite a magnificent suit, if we only fancy the folding- doors thrown open."
The very oddity of tbe arrangement gave them an impulse to perform wonders; and though their limbs ached, and their cheeks were as flushed as though they had been standing all night througli a fashionable party, yet they hardly thought of their fa¬ tigue.
A rich carpet was laid dowu on the rough floor at tbe " parlor" end, and allowed to ex¬ tend through the central apartment, where it was met by the straw-matting which marked the boundaries of the dining-room. A few elegant pieces of furniture, which had seenied to them indispensable, had been brought from tbeir.-city home; aud their pictures, those which they had not I een obliged to part with, were hung upon the wall, their glittering frames contrasting strangely with the unhewn, unplastered logs against which they were suspended. But all disagreements of that kiud furnished sub¬ jects of merriment.
One thing the girls had insisted upon— that eveu though their jewels and bijouterie were disposed of, the hooks and the piano should go with them, to be the friends aud com¬ panions of their solitude. The sacrifice of neither had been necessary; their ornaments were still their own; to please their tastes or each other, they had the means of adorning themselves witb those costly trifles which had grown dear hy ownership and habit. Oh! what shall we do for a place to ar-
upon the shelves, and, in the course of the | aa he was coming home with  the birds, bat
And you have dipped your head into the   range our books ?" isked Maggie of her falh
crockery crate, lady Blanche, until your curia are most elegantly adorned with chop¬ ped atraw."
" At leaat there is no one lo admire our additional charms," said the pet, as she shook her bright curls gay ly, and tossed them back from her glowing face.
" Now, this is tny cake, girls, and if you are saucy to me, you ahall not bave any.— ShaU I pnt on a plate for the carpenter ?" she whispered to her older sister.
" He does not seem to be very uncouth, and he ia clean enough in his dresa. I suppose it ia tbe custom ont West, child, and we must conform to it."
" Not a very bad custom, either. I do not know what right we have to feel aversion or disgust for any brother human soul that is decently encased. We are servants now our- aelves, you know."
"Did my fastidious Blanche say that?" exclaimed Lonsie softly,* looking into that hluahing face with a grave amile.
"Weill Pve always been a republican, have I not?" " Very demooratio inisome of yonr prinoi-
er, when the box was  opened which  con¬ tained them.
"Mr. Higgins mnat make us some shelves thia afternoon ; no matter if they are of pine boards; he can plane them off a little, and Ihey will theu be more respectable than the walls."
"Can you and he set up the piano without other help?" asked Loui.se.
" I shall be almost afraid to tru.st him, be¬ cause he will be awkward about it; and it mnst not remain out another night. That is a dilemma."
"We have performed about eleven Hercu- leaji tasks to-day ; perhaps we could assist at a twelfth one." But Maggie's ambitious courage was much greater than her real strength.
So witb labor and mirth, sighs, momentary despair, and renewed laughter, the hours rolled on.
Mr. Higgins appeared punctually in a one- horse wagon, in which the cbum, a wash- tub, and sundries were stowed, and with the all-importaut cow tied with a rope to the latter part.   Ha aat to work expedltionaly
day, Mr. Sutherland reoeived his firat visit from his nearest neighbor, a squatter who had settled down ahout two milesfrom them, and who did away with the piano difficulty by lending the required aid. So that, at sun¬ set, the house was in tolerable order.
'^Oh, that wo could have this room da- guerreotyped and Sent to Maude Arabesque I" murmured Maggie, as she stood at thia side, and that, to obtain an effect of the whole up¬ on tbe camera of her mind.
An immense miror, which could just be crowded between tbe floor and the low ceil¬ ing, occupied tbe space between tbe front door and window, reflecting tbe velvet tapes¬ try below, andthe smoky beams above. A sculptured vase of antique marble stood be¬ fore it; the piano, with a " scene upon the Hudson," landscape, hung over it, set against the bed-room wall, and between the windows opposite an oval rosewood table covered with exquisite trifles. A small sofa of crimson brocatelle, and two old-fashioned carved ohairs which the girla ifould not part with, and a picture between eaoh window, completed the fnrnishlng of the "parlor" part. The "library" portion was continued in a range with the piano, the space between the two bed-room doors being filled with ahelves, down to a writing-desk wbioh held some beautiful writing materials, portfeuilles, and a bust of Shakapeare, Mr. Sutherland's es¬ pecial favorite. Over againat the book- shelvea, by a window which commanded a view of a lovely bond in the river, were the sewing-chairs, and pretty mother-of-pearl inlaid work-table of the young ladies. And then (alas that the necessities oflifesocrowd upon its beauties, and that tbe "addition" outside was so exposed to the weather !)came the dining apartment, in which were congre¬ gated not only the usual table and dresser, but more articles of uae and ugliness than we cau think of—the flour and sugar barrels, the tea-chest, a loug shelf covered with the etceteras of house-keeping, one trunk, one dressing-bureau which the bed-rooms were too small to accommodate, one large histor¬ ical painting, oue chest of linen, two little shelves serving aa store-room for sundry jars of pickles and sweetmeats and Blanche's fruit cakes, and a dozen things besides,
" Who could have dreamed that it would ever come to this!" sighed Louise; and as the reaction, after so much excitement, be¬ gan to unnerve ber, the tears dropped slowly down her cheeks.
" This ? I tell you I like it—I do, really!" said Maggie; "that is, for a little time. I should not like to live here always ; but only thiuk what a rich fund of experience we will have all the re^t of our days. Papa's pine- lands may some day soon turn into gold— immense sums of gold, too—and then we will return to our proper sphere, prepared to enjoy it a thousand times more than if we had never been banished from it. And we will kuow—oh, we will know so much—and such amusing things I We will make those indolent girls open their oyes at our stories. Why, darling, I would not go back now, if I could!"
" It's Maggie that's the philosopher now, Lady Louise ; you will lose your right to the title," laughed Blanche.
" I know that it is foolish of me. I think I must be very weary to indulge in such emo¬ tion ;" and Louise brushed away her tears with her old gentle smile.
"There, dear, that's right; cheer up, and let us go and see how papa gets along milk¬ ing the cow. I know he hates it;" and Blanche led the way out the back door. " Softly," she whispered, with her lily finger on her glowing lip ; " do not let him hear us." On tiptoe the three stole out to where Mr. Sutherland, with hia backi» the house, was attempting for the fir.'it timo to " milk the cow." A small, very small, stream of milk rewarded bis unskillful squeezing, and that liny as it was, chose usually all directions, except into the tin pairwbich sat between the experimenter's knees. Now it weut fizz, straight into his eyes; now iu a snowy mist over his black cloth pantaloons; and, anon, it would shoot over to the other side into the faces of a cluster of wild-roses that were blushing at the unpastoral performance.
"Gently there, gently. Get up I" mur¬ mured the operator, who, unlearned iu the dialect of cows, was talking to tbe auimal, who did not stand quite still over his inflic¬ tions, as he would have to his pair of black ponies.
The girls stuffed their handkercluefs into their mouths.
Tinkle,tinkle, iu tiu the pail. At last the thin white current, rightly guided, hegan to ring in the bucket until it drowned its music in frothy accumulations.
"Gently, I say,—whoa!" cried the milker ; but he spoke too late ; a sudden kick sent the pail aud its contents against hira.
Mr. Sutherland was a gentleman, and uever made usa of profane language, but a long word of some kind was coming to his lipS) when tbe merry shout of three sweet voices, immediately behind him caused him to start with dismay and confusion.
" Go right back into the house, all of you ! Are you not ashamed to come stealing out to laugh at my discomfiture !" he cried, turning very red, but joining in the merriment* " Take care, little oue; I may conclude to let the task devolve upon you."
" Well, if it were not for making my wrists enlarge, I should not care," exclaimed the young beauty, whose saucy eyes were more than her dignified parent could bear with composure. "But," holding out her soft small hands with their delicate dimpled wrists, you can see, papa—
•These litUe handH wore never made'"— " To milk the dun cow, which never offered to stir," concluded Maggie, for her.
"Let us take pity upon him, and leave father to conclude his performance in peace," said Louise, " while we walk down to the river's edge for a little while."
" This is beautiful; this rests me and re¬ freshes me," spoke the poet sister, as she flung herself down upon the bank, and rested her cheek in her band.
The rosy glow of sunset still lingered on the water, and softened and brightened the opposite shore. A balmy south wind, which had been blowing through the afternoon, had wafted two or three large vessels up the current, and, now dying away, left them idle here and there, their snowy sails tinged with crimson, and their tall masts standing against the purple beaven. I
" Place a villa here upon this swell aud j break the opposite shore into a more rude and lofty ledge, and I shonld think we were by our own dear Hudson."
"Ab, Louise, if wo only were! said the changeful Blanche; and, as a homesick pang struck through her hearl, she burst into tears, and hid her face in her sister's lap.
" We shall leam to love this, dear Blanche; see, how pure and clear the water is, and what fine white sand at tbe bottom. This is the very place to bathe; no one to disturb U.S, and snch a safe and pleasant place; it will be delicious, these warm evenings."
Blanche, who was very fond of bathing in the sea, and who had become quite a swim¬ mer under her father's instructions, bright¬ ened up at this, and was for trying the water tbat very night, but Louise thought their fatigue made it imprudent; and they re¬ turned to the house, to take care of tho small quantity of milk which had heen secured through great exertion, to talk a little over the future, to read a chapter iu the Bible, and to go, sleepy, to bed.
CHAPTER II. " Do you know," asked Maggie, about five o'clock the next afternoon, as Louise was beginning her preparations for tea, "that there are thonsands of small sweet etraw- berries growing in the edge of the wood,?— I saw them when I went ont to meet papa

The berries were in such profusion, that, having aa many as ahe deaired in a few mo¬ ments, ahe deserted them for the violets that were cluatered in little azure patches in the sunny spots. Maggie had always loved tbem; and here they grew, so blue, ao large, ao pure and serene-looking, that she held them in her hands and to ber bosom with positive delight. Tying tbem together with long, fine grass, she made a wreath, which she placed upon her head, swinging her hat npon her arm. She had never been in ao great and deep a forest before; abe grew grave but happy as abe wandered deeper into the ever¬ lasting shadows, the tall pine tops, so far above her, making a flne and reedy sound.
" I must return in time to prepare my ber¬ ries," she aaid to herself, aa the tangled vines and nnderbrash began to make her way difflcult, and, turning to retrace her steps, she saw a young man coming towards her out of the depths of the wildemeaa. Tbe moment tbeir eyes met, he fell flat upon his face before her, with bis arms extended straight down his sides.
" If that is Western gallantry, it Is more excessive than graceful," thought the yonng girl, her beautiful eyes dilating a little with astonlahment. While ahe was still hesita¬ ting in wbat manner to return this humble salute, the stranger sprang to hia feet.
" Do uot imagine," he said, bia face some¬ what suffuaed with embarrassment, bnt in a careless,self-possessed manner, "that it was owing te the sudden power of your beauty, madam, that I thus fell before you. I am a surveyor; this is my compass. If, iu stumb¬ ling against this vine, I had saved my?elf by throwing out my arm to preserve my balance, I should have broken my compass which I am obliged to carry thus. Howevei', as it was the sudden sight of you which diverted my attention from my path, I am glad that, since compelled to make so low a salaam, it was to one worthy of my most humble salu¬ tation."
He removed his torn atraw hat from his head, bowing with an expression deferential enough, but still as if careless whetber she replied or not. Maggie could not help laugh¬ ing. Her owu surprise, his comicgLfall, and his self-justifying excuse, together with a suppressed smile, which told that be, too, enjoyed this joke at his own expense, which played around tbe corners of his mouth, were too much for her equanimity. Theu, too, although he was roughly dressed, and his face covered with an untrimmed beard, while his hair hung in long locks about his neck, there was a frank beauty iu his eye, as It met hers full and freo, which banished all fear of any rudeness from him.
"I thank you," she replied, " for the honor whicii accident has obliged you to do me.— But you should not bave explained; then I should have gone away with the impression that the people iu these Western wildernes¬ ses were the politest in the world!" and re¬ turning his bow, she turned away from him. She did not part with him so soon, however, for, stepping aloug by her side, be spoke again—
" Allow me to inquire if you are Mias Sutherland ?"
" I am," was the brief and surprised reply- "Now you wonder as much ajrray know¬ ing your name as you did at my greeting ; and the explanation is as simple. Mr. Sutherland, as the owner of this valuable and extensive tract, is well known by name to those who own or survey property in tbis part of country. And hearing that he was coming to remain a while upou his lauds, I wished to make some business propositions to him, and waa on my way to call upou him. My name is Harrison Smith. Sly un¬ cle was the founder of Smithville, your near¬ est village."
" My father will be happy to sno you, Mr- Smith," said his companion, regarding him with curiosity. Tho contrast betweeu hi.« pleasant musical voice, And tho abruptness with which be spoke, was as muoh as be" tweeu his graceful, mu.scular form and the rough, almost savage look of his uncombed hair aud shabby dress.
" It cannot be posible that your father thinks of living in this lonely spot ?" ho in¬ quired ; with true American inquisitiveuess. " For a little while, perhaps always." "Well, you will learn to like it; I know by   the  conformation  of your   head.    You have ideality,   a taste for the romantic,  ab¬ surd, and picturesque"—^looking all tbe time into her face as freely as if tbey bad been old acquaintances—" and that simple wreath of violets shows that you already have begun to love and be interested in what is about you." "\'"ou are a phrenologist, are you?" asked Maggie, her red lip curling slightly.
" Yes; why do you look so scornful ? and the wild and majestic will become friends with you, even though it be blended with rude and unformed. Are these your berries. Miss Sutherland ?"
He took up the basket and carried it for ber.
"Excepting these delicious berries which I have, gathered now and then when I came upon them growing thickly, I have had no¬ thing to eat for a week but beans," he con¬ tinued—"beans without meat, salt, or bread, to give them a relish. Bnt they were excel¬ lent to a hungry man, working all day in tbe open air. Fork, hard bread, salt, and beans are the surveyor's fare out here in the pine¬ ries ; but I upset my boat againat a snag eight days ago, and I lost everything but one bag of beans. I lost those too, biit tbey caught in some drift-wood, and I recaptured tbem, else it might have gone rather bard witb me. How would you like that. Miss Sutherland? Camping out on hemlock boughs at night, not speaking to a human heing for days, making acquaintance with all the birds, plants, and animals, of a mighty for¬ est, sometimes in danger, always in good spirits, meeting with strange, startling, and beautiful things all the time—getting inti¬ mate with nature—none of your fiunified notions and die-away conventionalities ?"
" Really, Mr. Smith," laughed the fair girl, looking up with eyes as frauk, and meeting bis kindling glance, " I think I shall like it, all but the danger and the beans !"
" Oh, you would get used to both! You would thiuk broader thoughts and feel deep¬ er emotions than you ever did in a fantasti¬ cal crowd of dandles aud bedizened women, that"—
"You are harsh," interrupted Maggie, "and when a person is harsh or unjust I nover am influenced by what he say*"
" Excuse me, Mias Sutherland; I kuow that I am as rough as a buffalo. I take pride in being where I come in contact with your ultra-refined folks; bnt you, and a woman, too—why, a buffalo would be kind to a young, gentle, and bright-eyed woman, if she  did havo ou a fashionable silk!"
" The virgin and tha lion, you remember, remarked hia companion, laughing merrily, alike forgetting  that   she   was conversing with a stranger and a backwoodsman.
They were now upon the door-atep, and the family looked up surprised to bear Mag¬ gie chatting so gayly with aome one. Their surprise, though oonoealed by politeness, was not diminished, at seeing aucb a " bear¬ ish-looking man," as Blanche said after¬ wards, walking in witb a basket of straw¬ berries in his hand, and their sister ainiling by hia aide. "Mr. Smith, of Smithville, papg," said
The muffins will be spoiled before we can sumed, betweeu an actual earth aud contem- bull theae, if we do not hurry," said the lat- pUted elysium—that is, so far ag presamp- ter; and botb, witb snowy fingers soon stain-. tion dares assert, it maybe more of one ed a rosy red at the tips, busily transferred and less of the other. I dare not be certain, the prepared frait in a glowing heap into the ^ but either way, it mof;t certainly must be cut-glasa ceutrebowl which awaited it. j delightful.
"Is that a wild animal ? I shall ho afraid | Years ago, and it shames my niode.sty to to go to tea with him," whiapered Blanche, ; say it, I fancied I too, in common with Kve's stealing up, and pretending to help about daughters, possessed a lover.

"Our tablo iuoks very nice; wonld you dislike to spoil the effect by putting on the remainder of the bird-pie that we had for dinner?" asked Maggie, when all was ready.
" What put the bird-pie into your thoughts, Maggie ?"
" Why, Mr. Smith says that he has lived upon beans for the past week, and so, I sup¬ pose, he must be hungry. I would rather be too hospitable than to starve him on our niceties."
" The barbamus !" intei"posed the beauty, with a shrug. " Horrid, coarse, savage crea¬ ture, to dare to be hungry!" mimicked Mag¬ gie, as she went after the pie.

W. GLt:iM. Secretary, July 7,18.JG.
THE SHETLAND PONY-
Egypt was the original country for horses; but aa they are now found in all parts of the world, they differ greatly, each kind of horse being adapted to tbe climate and productions of the country he inhabits. The Shetland pony ia just tbe animal required in Scotland, the Shetland Isles, from whioh its name ia derived, and Canada. Its diminutive size suits tbe scanty vegetation of theae coun¬ tries, which wonld not support large animals; but if they were as feeble as they are small, tliey would he of little service. They, how¬ ever, possess immense strength in proportion to their size, and are so tough aud healthy that they cau live among tbe mountains througk the long winters, and survive to a great age, even fifty or sixjy years.
In Scotland they are called Slielties, and as they have to take care of themselves, they run almost wild upou the mountains, and will climb up steep places, standing with ease on the very edge of most frightful preci¬ pices. On the Sabbath, they are always wauted to carry the families to church, and they most be caught on Saturday. Tba rogues know how to make this a difficult task. It is a pleasing sight on Sunday morn¬ ing, to see one or two women mounted upon one of tbese ponies, covering him so com' pletely with their large dresses, that nothing can bo seen of tbe pony but its droll little I head.
A middle-sized mau mnst ride with liia knees raised to.the animal's shoulders, to provont Ik's toes from touching the ground. It U surprising to see with what speed they will carry a heavy man over broken and zig¬ zag roada in their native mountains.
A gentleman some time ago, was presented witb one these handsome little animals, which waa no less docile than elegant, aud measur¬ ed only seven hands, or twenty-eight inches in height. He was ausious to convey him to hia present home as speedily as possible, but being at a considerable distance was at a loss how to do so most easily. Tbe friend said, ",can you not carry him in your chaise ?" He made the eiperimenl and the Shelty was lifted into it, covered up with tho apron, and aome bits of bread given to keep bim quiet. He lay peacefully till he reached his destina¬ tion thus exhibiting the novel spuctacle of a horse riding in a gig.
A gentleman had a white pony, which be¬ came extremely attached to a little white dog that lived withhim inthe stable; and whenever the horse was taken out, the dog always ran by hia side. One day, when the groom took out tho pony for exercise, accom¬ panied as usual by hia canine friend, they met a large dog whicb attacked tli'e diminu¬ tive cur, upon whicii the horse, to the aston¬ ishment of the bystanders, so effectually fought his friend's ballie with his fore-feet, that tbe aggressor found it to liis interest to scamper ofl' at full speed, and never again ventured to assail the small dog.
A little girl, the daughter of a gentleman in "Warwickshire, (Englaud,) playing on the banks of a canal wibch runs through hia grounds, had the misfortune to fall in, and would in all probability have beeu drown¬ ed, had not a little pony which had long been kept in the family, plunged into the stream and brought the child safely ashore, without the slightest injury.
A farmer in Canada had a large number of ponies, and among them a  very handsome and playful one, which was a great favorite with a little boy about ten years of age, the only child of tha farmer.   Oue day the boy was sent several miles on an errand for some money, with   a   warning to return   before night, as the country was infeated with rob, hers.    His visit was  so delightful that he forgot the command of his parents, and did not mount his pony to return nntil it was quite dark.   His  road lay through a thick forest and it was not long before a highway¬ man attacked and dragged him from   his horse, which ran swiftly homeward.    Mean¬ time, hia terrified parents sat trembliug by their fireside, awaiting their boy's return.— Thay were just preparing to go iu search of of him, when they beard  the  clattering o^ hoofs and soon after a loud kicking and pawing at the door.   On  opening it, they saw tbe pony in a atate of great excitement/ with his saddle and bridle dangling abow him.    He ran from them a short  distante, then frisked about, and seizing tha fathe:'s coat in bia leeth, pulled him along.   Tbe agonized parents followed the auimal,  vbo ran   ahead, constantly   turning   back   and neighing to urge them onward.    After travel¬ ing many miles  through the woods, tbey came to the place where the boy bai? been robbed, and fouud him tied to a tree, ssripped of bis money aud clotbea, and half dt^ad with fear and cold.    He was placed ou the pony's back who proudly bore him home, aud was ever after treated aa a true friond by  the boy whose life ho had saved.
We have somewhere read a curious story of a farmer who was in the habit rf riding little " Shelty" to an ale-house, some miles miles distant, where be squandered his hard earnings in drinking, and generally became ao intoxicated that be could hardly mount hia horse. Bnt the animal knew hia master'a failing, and usuaUy succeeded in bringing him safe to bis house. Bat one night, the man waa so drunk that he rolled off into the mud wben about half way home. The fall cut his head severely, and he lay with his foot In the stirrup, ao that tbe poor horse could not move witbont treading on him. After standing patiently for some time be became vexed with his beastly master, and, taming his head, gave Him'a hearty shaking, TUs Tonasd the m&n from his stnpor; bat his burt WAS so severe tbat ho ooold not rise
to," and addressed with a profusion of nour¬ ishes. The superscription wus nnmistaka- ble. All right without, how conld I dream that it was otherwise within ?
My foolish heart twittered a trifle, as my oyes devoured the fervent protestations of some smitten swain, and pride was flattered; for the writer dared not (only think of it!) tell his name nntil certain his suit was nol rejected. I wore tbat billet on my heart for days, (and if you'll believe it, the spot it covered is warm still with something of the aame emotion that imparted caloric in tbat sunny hour,) and longed for another of those same blissful confessions.
I need not say how anxiously I waited from day to day for another similar missive. It came—and another—and another, Ro¬ mance fed the flame, and curiosity fanned it to a perfect blaze. Watching tbe moon, (by nights, of course,) and wandering in shady groves and by murmuring rills, became fa¬ vorite occupations. Poetry, too, was vouch¬ safed to me, and had I but suffered a relapse, no doubt I should have deemed myself a poet born.
Inditing love sonnets became a pastime, and 'sighingliie a furnace' the only relief my pent up spirit experience 1, iu trying to cast off a portion of its burden of happiness.
Perfumed paper vanished from my portfo¬ lio, and bke ribbon rose in market value.
Ah! those were sunny days over which memory throws a halo, overspread now and then with a cloud, j'et never quite able to hide the ha'.o's brightness; and those bliss¬ ful dreams, how much they remind me of
 , but I mticipate.
My lovei preserved his incog., while 1 grew more lurioua iu my 'eternal devotion. Could I but see the hero of my dreams, the author of my billet-doux, the idol of my heart; could I but whisper his loved name to the winds and be certain they would bear it to his ecrs—but no ! his bashfulness could not ba overcome ; and poor I was doomed to wait man/" days, if not weeks—•with but a suspicion of who was my true knight.— Every gent, who had the good manners to blush inmy presence, became my Orlando— for the lime, andthe foe ns in which my af¬ fections concentrated. I sought by senti¬ mental sighs, and soft words designed for their sirs alone, to draw out thu secret, nnd provemyself too disinterested and generous to treit thoir love unkindly.
Bli, alas '. " Love's labor seemed lost" for the leason. Hope deferred made the heart sicl^ aud wan and pale; from midnight wotch- ingand lack of food, I became a. fine fancy skitch for Hamlet'a Ghost. My mother pre¬ pared herbs for her pining child, but with no a^ail, for herbs have no healing power for tie .spirit's ailment. I could not make lier ny confident—how could I ? It seemed so uilgar to bare my treasured secret to the q^'es of common mortals. So alone I sighed il secret and pined openly. Esculapius was ^pealed to in vain—another god understood ny case better—tbe shafts of Cupid had perced my heart, aud were rankling there. Tley needed tbe soft baud of the unknown tcpluck them thence, and wliy—^oh, why- slould he avoid me ?
4t length the day of trial and hope came. Tie secret was to be revealed. By appoint- moit we were to meet, and I was to prove m; sincerity by an elopement.
Iy dear old home^tbe mother that had nu'sed me, and the father who had nightly biased me, were to be forsaken. So com" ple;e wns my infatuation that these scarce cos me a sigh.
lever was creature so supremely blest.— Th' grove where I had wandered so frequent¬ ly ras designated as the place of meeting— anc the hour was the very one I had conse- craed to star-gazing. With a fluttering heirt but unfaltering step, 1 neared the ren- devous.
i. stately form cast its noble shadow inthe sil'er stream. My breath came heavily. One mdnent more and I should cast myself into tht arms of him who, not having seen, I had Ion; since learned lo love. W'e mel—one loot was enough—I recognized a rejectod suior, and he an old flame.
lie Captain—for it was, after all, only Ga]tain Smith—bowed, blushed, and apolo- gizd. It was not me he expected, but anothe^ ladr; my cousin, with whom he bad for some tins corresponded. By some confusion of ides, he had invariably addressed his notes to ne ; not dreaming that there was but the diftrence ofa single letter incur cognomens. Of ;ourse my love experienced a chill. We pldged ourselves to secrecy, kept the letters, ani cousin Fanny, sometime afterward, took tin Captain.

MeSTAL COSDITIQX    OF    'CUF.    HoiWE.—In   a
lery interesting essay on " Body and Mind," Al the last namher of the Edinburgh Review, it is stated that many of the mental condi¬ tions of the human being are also observable in some of the lower animals. They sleep, they dream, they become insane. They have variations in temper. Tbe horse will weep Uke his master, andthe big tears course as rapidly down his cheeks, from grief or pain. In the disease rabies, thtj mental char¬ acter of the horse is wonderfully changed.— If before the disease he was good-tempered and attached to his groom, he will recognize his former friend, aud seek his caresses during the intervals hetween the paroxysms of fury, and he will preaa his head against his bosom, and witha piteous look gaze upon him, ft3 if beseeching relief from the dread¬ ful malady. Yet iu an instant his whole conduct will change into furious madness and singular treachery. He labors under an intense feeling to destroy, and there appear.*? to be a desire for mischief for its own sake.
B. KAUFFMAN tf-2tj.
A man tried in Boston for stealing a horse and wagon, being called upon to speak for himself, said:—"I have nothing to say in particular. The fact is, when I get half or two-thirds drunk I thiuk everything belongs to me." Whereupon the Boston Post makea this parenthesis:—"There are some very so¬ ber people who act aa if they think just as Joe does when he is drunk."
The Fabmeb.—A beautiful thought this^ that we find in one of our exchanges:
"If there is a man who oan eat his bread in peace with Qod and man, it is the man who bas hroughtthAt hiead out of the eartH. It is c&ckered by no fr&ud; it is wat witb no teus I it is stainod with no blood."
