Agues, the Indian Girl.
An Indian girl! " said Helen Dick
son, with a littje scream. "Dear me !
I never expected to see anything like
this, even m the Far West
It was a spacious, roomy kitchen, fur
nished with an odd intermingling of lux
ury, privation and make-shift At one
end a large fire of. walnut and pine logs
roared up the great cavernous chimney ;
at the other, twoor three girls sat around
a table, working worsteds by the light
of a solar lamp, while Ralph Davenant,
? the farmer, lay fast asleep on the chintz-
' cushioned lounge, lulled by the continu
ous rushing sound of the great western
river that bounded one extremity of his
domains. ; j
Guy Davenant sat near the girls a
a tall, splendidly moulded young Apollo
of the forest, with shady hazel eyes, and
hair curling in black, silky rings all over
his head. He looked up quickly as Miss
JJickson spoke. -
'J Agnes. Oacawanda V he exclaimed.
"In the outer kitchen 1 Why don't the
women tell her to come ml
"Guy?" reproved his sister. "An In
dian interpreter's daughter 1 "
"Helen- ought to see her," urged Guy,
"bhe s as beautiful as a statue.
"But she is old Oscawanda's daughter,
and she lives down by the falls.
"What then 1 She is as intelligent
and cultivated as nine out of ten of the
girls around here. Call her in I say,
I'll go out there myself."
or
Julia Davenant rose with a curl to her
lip, and opening the kitchen door, beck
oned haughtuyto atall,sbght figurestand-
ing by the fire beyond.
"Come in, Agnes," cheerfully calletl
out Gay as. if to atone for his sister's
evident lack of courtesy, and Agnes Os
cawanda entered, moving .with the slow,
VJ.;ii.i c v, j: j
She was dark, but not darker than
many 4 brunette of unblemished Saxon
lineage, Vith liquid, velvety soft eyes,
raven blackhair, looped in heavy braids
at the back of her head, and a delicate.
oval face, wiyi features straight and
pure as the outlines, of a' Greek model.
Her 'dress was W some dark worsted
stuff, with a scamet shawl folded across
her shoulders, and a silk scarf was
twisted about her hair. She
hung her
head with evident embarrassment at
: Helena Dicksou's bold stare.
"I only camf to bring Mr. Davenant
the baskets he1 ordered of iny father,"
Bne said, in a w voice.
"J3ut sit down and rest a few min-
r fife you have walked' a
long distance. V
Agnes Oscawajnda hesitated. Had
Guy Davenant's sifters confirmed the re-
quest, . she would gauly nave rested a
little, : But Julia and Clara sewed on,
without looking up, amd Helenas super
cilious clance called tha red blood to her
dark cheek. Vv :,:"
. No," she said q uietly a"! must go."
"Then I will walk a part of the way
with you, ' said Guy, jumping up for his
hat
"I don't think Agnes has accustomed
herself to an escort through these
woods," said Julia, rudely.
"Indeed I am not afraid," said the in
terpreter's daughter,
"Afraid ! It isn't a question of fear,"
. said Guy. "Its a lovely starlight night,
and I would like the walk.
The three girls eyed each other as the
door closed behind the Indian girl and
her companion.
"Very polite to rush off and leave
Helena in that sort of way," said Clara,
"the first night of her visit here."
"Oh I don't care," said Helena, gig-
cling. A . mere matter oi taste 1 am
sure."
"It's just like Guy," said Julia. "Ag
nes Oscawanda ia well enough, I dare
say, but she is only an Indian girl, and
,it is foolish to get her into the notion of
.expecting the same attentions that we
.receive.'?'.' -
Meanwhile Mr. Guy was walking
along the dreary forest paths with the
beautiful young daughter of the Indian
"Not that I care for Agnes, though
-she is pretty enough to turn any man's
head," thought the willful young man,
"but IH teach those girls to treat her a
little more civilly. What right have
they to bully and insult herl I won't
have it" "
And so, although Miss Dickson had
been invited to make a visit to the West
era wildernesses, specially to carry out
a darling design of Julia and Clara
Davenant, that a " match" should be
struck up or, perhaps, "ignited" would
be the proper term between her and
their brother Guy, the young gentleman
persisted in treating her with nothing
more than. regulation civility. 1
"It's too mean," said Clara, pouting.
,"When Helena has such a nice little
property of her own, too," added Julia.
And "Helena, herself, who was getting
into the sere and yellow leaf of maiden
hood, curled her hair and anointed her
cheeks with Rose-bloom " more vigor
ously than ever, for Guy Davenant was
a husband well worth angling for.

"But you'll ask Agnes Oscawanda to
your picnic party, girls VV ;
"Indeed we shall not!" Julia Dave
nant answered, with a toss of her haughty
head. "An Indian girl ! " What would
people say?"- t
"Then I shan't come to it ! " said Guy, .
independently.
- Julia burst into tears.
"Guy, you are too hateful for any
thing ! And Helena thinks so much of
the picnic." '-. ,.
"Not enough, it seems, to treat a
harmless, pretty girl with ordinary de
cency," said Guy, angrily. "She passed
Agnes, yesterday, in the road without
even speaking to her."- .
"Do you expect us to receive her on
gm equality vita ourselves 1 "
"I do not know why you should not,"
was the brusque reply.
"I believe Agnes Oscawanda has be
witched you with some of her father's
outlandish Indian charms," flashed out
Julia.
Perhaps she has," said Guy, laugh
ing; "her father's or her own." ' ;
"Guy, it is no jesting matter.
"Did I say it was, Miss Spitfire 1 Do
leave me in peace a little while now."
"But Helena wants you to go with
her and gather flowers and autumn
leaves." '.
"I shall do nothing of the sort," said
Guy ; and he adhered resolutely to his
resolution.
The day of the much-anticipated pic
nic came ; nut Uuy, instead ot escorting
Miss Dickson down to the slope of ; vel
vet grass, shaded by superbl forest trees,
wnicn naa oeen selected as tne site oi
the merry-making, took his gun and
started off into the woods.
"I won't be deafened by the cackle of
these girls, quoth he to himself.
"Dead ! Oh, father, father, he is not
dead!"
Old Oscawanda, the -swart-browed In
dian interpreter, listened witn las ear
against the stalwart chest of the fallen
hunter, who lay among the yellow au
tumn leaves, where Agnes had found
him, bathed in his own blood. There
had been some imperfection xn the lock
of the new rifle what or where no one
ever knew, but it was blown in pieces,
andGuy Davenant lay like a dead man
beside it
They carried him to the little cabin
beside the rushing Falls of the Matar-
casca, and laid him on the rude couch of
the old Indian, and then he struggled
his way. back again to lira -1 v
"Who bound up these wounds?" he
asked with a slight shudder, as : he
glanced downward at bandages and wrap
pings, and began to comprehend the full
extent of the peril from which he had so
miraculously escaped.
"I did," Agne3 Oscawanda answered.
"You!" His eyes rested admiringly
on her. calm, beautiful face. "There isn't
one woman in a thousand who would
have had such pluck as that I should
like to have Helena Dickson see blood
without fainting away, and as for Clara
and Julia pooh!
"Just their maneuvering !" said Julia,
when she had sobbed and shrieked away
her first terror at the frightful news of
the accident that had happened to her
brother. "Of course Agnes and her
scheming bid. father expect to make
profitable speculation out of it Why
couldn't they just as well have brought
you home i
"They might have done so," said Guy,
calmly, "but a corpse would have been
all that was borne across the threshold.
Oscawanda and his daughter have saved
my life, and I shall never cease to -be
grateful to them for what they have
done.".. :
liuty iispea Helena, "mayn t we
come down and nurse you, dear Mr,
Guy? I am sure it w6uldbe a pleasure,
and these good people, although wel
meaning, I dare say, cannot understand
the refinements an invalid so much
needs."
"Your kindness is quite unnecessary,"
said liuy, coldly, "l nave every care
and attention here."
"The bold, sly thing?" said Clara,
biting her lip as the three girls walked
homeward again. "I saw her eyes flash
tuumph when he spoke.
Helena Dickson, however, resolved
not' to give up the battle at this early
stage 'of affairs. ; She determined to pro
long her visit into the Winter months.
when he recovers sufficiently, she
thought ; and in that case I can easily
bring him to the mark."
For Helena had unbounded confidence
in her own charms and powers of per
suasion.
It was a bright, frosty afternoon in
late November, when Guy Davenant
walked up to the door of the farmhouse,
leaning on the Indian girl's arm. Julia
rose to welcome him home.
"I will help him into the house now,"
she said, coldly staring the. beautiful
young girl in the face. "You need not
trouble yourself any further, Agnes Os
cawanda.
"Stop!" said Guy, sternly, asiis sister
would have motioned his supporter
away. "She has the best and only right
to be at my side now."
"Guy! what do you mean?" gasped
J ulia, scarcely understanding what sig
nificance his words were intended to
convey. ,
"I married her this evening," lie said,
with quiet, exulting pride. "As my
wife, she is your equal in all else in
finitely your superior. Agnes, my pearl
of the forest, welcome a" thousand times
to your new home." . ,
And with a sinking heart, Helena
Dickson saw Agnes Oscawanda, the In
dian interpreter's daughter, elevated to
the position she had so vainly tried to
occupy.
Hell Fire. The Manchester Ex

pey has resigned his office as General
Superintendent of the Wesley an Mis
sions in southeastern Africa. Some
time ago Mr. Impey wrote to the Mis
sion secretaries in JLondon exnressmg
his inability any longer to enforce on
his brethren, or on the Kaffir converts
of the Mission, the -"plain grammatical
sense" of the words in the Methodist
standards, which require it to be taught
that "hell is a dark and bottomless pit.
full of fire and brimstone, in which the
wicked will be punished for ever atA
ever, by having their bodies tormented
by the lire and their souls by a sense of
the wrath of God." At the request of
the secretaries he came to London and
conferred with them, and the result has
been that he was compelled to resign his
position. His connection with the Wes-
leyan Ministry has thus ceased after
serving as a Missionary for 40 years.

. A Hunter's Tarn. -One
day, a long time ago, about the
time when Jackson ran for President
the first time, perhaps, I was one day
nuntmg upon tne ridge tetween Meadow
Itun and Cucumber liun, which tumbles
off the rocks just across there.
1 had known for some time by the
signs that there was a nest of cub bears
somewhere in the" neighborhood, so on
that day I concluded to put m my time
finding them, as a party up in Union-
town wanted a pair to send over to
Baltimore, to a friend who was fond of
outlandish pets.
xou see it was along about the 1st of
September, and pretty warm J at that,
and after walking up and down the
ravines I began to get pretty tired. ., I
was not so heavy then as I am "now, and
did not weigh more than a couple of
hundred pounds. As I said, I was a lit
tle tired, and so on the top of the ridge
I sat down, by the side of a smooth
chestnut stump about twelve or fourteen
feet high. I hadn't sat there more than
a minute until I heard something inside
the stump, and soon made : out that it
was a couple of cub bears playing with
one another.
I looked on all sides of the stump to
find an opening, but none was to be
seen. Then I happened to notice the
marks of claws up the side of the stump,
and I understood it The hole went in
at the top. I set my gun against a bush,
up-ended the branch of a tree, and was
soon at the top of the stump, looking in
at the two cubs, which were about the
size of full grown rat dogs.
I was so excited that 1 jumped down
into the stump and grabbed the cubs.
They at first began to squeal then turned
on me for fight But they were small
enough to handle, and in a minute or so
I had their mouths tied so they could
not bite, and their feet fastened so that
they could not scratch.
I knew the old bear would be along
pretty soon and make it hot for me if
she found me in the nest, so I slung the
youngsters into my buckskin belt pre
paratory to getting out
Get out? Did I get out? Land of
loT?e! It makes me shiver to think of it
yet I could no more get out of that
stump than I. could fly, the hollow was
bell shaped larger at the bottom than at
the top so large, in fact, that I could
not put my back against one side and
my feet and hands against the other and
crawl up as rabbits and other animals
climb up inside of hollow trees.
In no way could I get up a foot.
lnere were no sticks inside to nelp me
up, and I made up my mind I had to die
certain. About the time I came to this
conclusion I heard the old bear climbing
up the outside of the stump. With only
my hunting knife as a means of defense,
and m sucn close quarters, you may
possibly imagine the state of my feelings.
The old bear was not more than half
a minute, at the outside, climbing up the
stump, but it seemed like a month at
least At last she reached the top, but
she didn't seem to suspect my presence
at all, as she deliberately turned round
and began slowly descending, tail fore
most
I felt as though my last hour had
come, and began seriously to think about
lying down and let the bear kill me, so
as to get out of my misery as quick as
possible. Suddenly an idea struck me.
and despair gave way to hope. I drew
out my hunting knife and stood on tip
toe. When the bear was about : seven
feet from the bottom of the hollow
fastened on her tail with my left hand
with a vice-like grip, and with my right
hand drove my huntmg-knife to the hilt
into her Launch, and at the same time
yelhng like a whole tribe of Indians.
"What did she do V chorused the
whole crowd, who had been holding their
breath. - -
What did she do? Well, you should
have seen the performance; She didn't
stop to reflect a moment, but shot out
at the top of the stump like a bullet out
of a gun. A hair s breadth to a minute.
I held on till we struck the ground,
some thirty feet from the stump. Then
the bear went like lightning into the
brush, and was out of sight in half
second. I was a little bruised by the
fall, but that was alL I took the two
cubs to Uniontown next day, and on ac
count of the adventure I got $5 a piece
for them, and in those times 5 was as
good as 50 now.
Jeuny Llnd's Childhood.
; There was once a poor plain little girl,
dwelling in a little room in Stockholm,
the capitol of Sweden. She was a poor
little girl, indeed, then; she was lonely
and neglected, and would have been
very unhappy, deprived of the kindness
and care so necessary to a child, if it
had not been for a peculiar gift The
little ; girl had a fine voice, and in her
loneliness, in trouble or sorrow, she con
soled herself by singing. In fact she
sung to everything she did, at her work,
at her play, running or resting, she
always sang. The woman who had her
in care went out to work during the day,
and used to lock in the little girl, who
had nothing to enliven her solitude but
the company of a cat The little girl
played1" with her cat and sang. Once
she sat by the open window and stroked
her cat and sang, when a lady passed by.
She hears the voice, and looked and saw
e little singer. She asked the child
several questions, went away, and came
back several days later, followed by an
old music master whose name was Cre-
lius. He tried the little girl's musical
ear and voice and was astonished. He
took her to the manager of the Royal
Opera at Stockhelm, then a Count Pehu,
whose truly generous and kind heart
was concealed by a rough speech and a
morbid temper. Crehus introduced his
little pupil to the Count, and asked him
to engage her as eleve for the opera.
'You ask a foolish thing,, said the
Count gruffly, looking disdainfully down
on the poor little girl. "What shall we
do with that thing? She will never be
presentable. No we cannot take her.
Away .with her !' ; The music master
insisted almost indignantly, "Well,";
exclaimed he at last, "if you will not
take her, poor as I am, I will take her
myself, and have ; her educated for the
scene; then such another ear as she has
for music is not to be found in the
world." The Count relented. The lit
tle girl was at last admitted into the
school for eleves at the" opera, and with
some dimculty a simple gown of black
bombazine was procured for her.
