(original pitta}: TO THE REV’D. JAS. BOYD. By M. E. DaEGraR. Art then going, dear friend, going From our village now to dwell: Must the ties of friendship sever, V Must we say to thee farewell? ' Yes, farewell, but still unsevered, I Shall affection e’er remain, For distance ne’er shall break asunder ’Friendship’s true and lasting chain. But We’ll miss thee and regret thee, Daily miss thy presence here ; -Miss»thy wise sagacious counsel, Thy learned teaching with such care. Miss thy charitable bounty. ' To the needy and the poor; Thy soothing friendship toothe friendless, Thy outstretched hand and open door. We willmiss thee by the sick bed Where thou wast ever wont to be. Administering peace and comfort With pious words of sympathy ; And we’ll miss thy kind endeavours To promote our every good, Both by precept and example, Teaching us the way to God. In what instances we’ll miss thee, ’ To rehearse them words Were vain ; There never. was thine equal here, And ne’er will be again. But we know the church has missed thee. Sadly missed thy tender care ; Thy progress and thy earnest preaching, Have been missed since thou cam’st here. And convinced that Christ directed, We will say God speed to thee ; Well assured, where’er thou goest That thy works will follow thee.

Thar’s no other chance.â€" If we’re seen crossing the open ground. we may jest as well turn tail to them, an’ take .the backâ€"track home again.’ .,TO the counsels of tho alligator- hunter there was no dissenting voice: all acknowledch their wis- dom, and he was leftâ€" to carrv out his desrgn without opposition. ' He and his companion. once more dismounted from their horses : and, leaving us halted among the trees, advanced stealthily to; wards the edge of the opening. It was a considerable time beâ€" fore they came back; and the other men were growing impatient. Many believed we were only los- ing time by this tardy reconnais- sance. and the Indians would be getting further away. Some ad- vised that the pursuit should be continued at once, and that seen or not, we ought to ride directly along the trail. ’ . “However consonant with my OWn feelingsâ€"burning as I was for a conflict with the hated foeâ€"I knew it would not be a prudent course to pursue. The guides were right. ' These returned at length, and delivered their report. There was a savanna, and the Indians had crossed it. They had got into the timber on its opposite side, and neither man nor horse was to be seen; They could scarcely have been out of sight before the guides arrived upon its nearer edge, and Hickman a'verred he had seen the tail'of a horse disappearing among the bushes. ‘During their absence, the cun- ning trackers had learned more. From the sign, they had gathered another important factâ€"that there- was' no longer a trail for us to fol. low! . , On entering the savanna, the Indians had scatteredâ€"the routes they had taken across the grassy meadow were as numerous as their horses. As the hunters word- ed i't, the trail ‘war split up into fifty pieces.’ They had ascertained this by crawling out among the long grass, and noting the tracks. ‘ ‘ One in particular had Occupied their attention: it was not made by _.the,. hoof-prints of horses, *Mm_mâ€"-â€"_â€"._f_ â€"_._‘._. ‘ skilled ALEX. SCOTT, Proprietor. Vol. I. ,.__~ though some of these appeared alongside it, but by the feet of men. They were naked feet; and a su- perficial observer might have fan- Cied that but one pair of them had passed over the ground. The trackers, however, knew this to be a ruse. The prints were large, and mis-shapen, and . too deeply indented in the soil to have been produced by a single individual. The long heel, and scarcely concave instepâ€"the huge balls, and broad prints of the toes, were all signs that the hunters . easily understood. They knew that '-it was the. trail of the negro cap- tives, who, doubtless, had proceeded thus by the direction of their guards. This unexpected ruse On the part of the retreating savages-created chagrin as well as astonishment.â€" For the moment, all felt outwitted; we believed that the enemy «was lost; we should be cheated of our revenge. Some men talked of the idle- ness of carrying the pursuit fur- ther; a few counselled us to go back; and it became necessary to appeal to their hatred for the sav- age fooâ€"with most Of them 21 here- g ditary passionâ€"once more to in- voke their vengeance. At this crisis, Old Hickman cheered the men 'with fresh hope. I was glad to hear him speak. ‘ We can’t get at them to-night, hoys,’ said he, after much talk had been spent; ‘we dascnt ’a cross over-this hyar clarin’ by daylight, an’ it’s too big to git round it. It would take a twenty-mile ride to cir- cumvent thc darned thing. Ne’cr a mind! Let us halt hyar till the dark comes on.

Not seeing as arter ’em any more, they’ll be fcclin’ as safe as a barin a bee-treeâ€"and that‘sjcst the time to take thcm.’ ' All appeared to agree to the pro- posal of the hunter. 1! was adopted as-“a plan ; and, dismounting from our jaded horses, we awaited the setting of the sun. CROSSING THE SAVANNA. I now suffered the very acme Of misery. While riding in hot haste along the trail, there was an excitement, alvuost continuous, that precluded the possibility of, in- tense reflcction, and kept my mind from dwelling too minutely upon the calamity that had befallen me. The prospect Of retribution, ayc appearing near at handâ€"at every step nearerâ€"«all but cancel- lcd my emotions of grief; and mo- tion itselfâ€"knowing it to be for- ward, and towards the object of vengeanceâ€"had a certain effect in soothing my troubled soul. Now that the pursuit was sus- pended, and I was free to reflect on the events of the morning, my soul was plunged into the deepest misery. My fancy distressed me with dire images. Before me appeared the corpse‘ of my murdered mother-.â€" her arms outstretched, waving the on to vengeance. My sister, too, wan, tearful, dishevelled ! No wonder that, with painful impatience, I awaited the gomg down of the sun; I thought I had‘ never seen that grand orb sink so slowly. The delay tortured me al- most. to distraction. The sun’s disc was blood-red, from a- thick haze'that hung over the'woods. The heaven-s appeared lowering and angry ; they had “the hue of my Own spirit. At length there Came tWilight.â€"â€" Short it wasâ€"as is usual in south- ern latitudesâ€"though, on that eve, to me it appeared long and tardy in- passing away. , Darkness followed; and once more springing to our saddles, I found relief in motion. Emerging from the timber, we rode out upon the open savanna. The two hunters conducted us across in a direct line. There was no attempt made to follow any of the numerous trails. In the dark- ness, it would have been impossible; but even had there been light enough to lift them, the guides would have pursued a different course. Hickman’s conjecture was, that, on reaching the opposite side, the marauding party 'WOuld come together againat some "rendezvoiJs previously agreed upon. The trail of any ,one, therefore, wOuld be sufficient for our purpose; and, in 'we resolved to ride SCARBORO’, YORK, MARKHAM, VAUGHAN, RICHMOND 1/ . :1 vi a .v. KING. (AND TERMS: $1 50 In Advance.

Our tired steeds needed no taming downy The ground was favourableuâ€"a surface'of' soft grassy .turf, over'which our animals glided with noiseless tread. Our only .fears ~were that they should scent the horses of the Indians, and betray us by their neighing. _ Happily, our fears proved ground~ less; and, after hal‘f-an-hour’s si- lent marching, we reached the other side of thesavanna, and drew up under the shadowy trees. It was scarcely possible we could have been observed. If the Indians had left spies behind them, the darkness would have iconcealed us from their view. We had made nOnoisc by which our ap- gproach could have been discovered, unless their sentinels had been placed at the very point where we re-entered the woods. We saw no signs of any. and we conjectured that none of the band had lingered behind. in whispers; and in like manner deliberated on our future plan of proceeding. We were still in our saddles, with the intention to proceed fur~ ther, We should have dismounted upon the Spot, and waited for the light of morning to enable us to take up the trail, but circumstances forbade this : our horses were suffering with thirst, and their riders were no better bff. We had met with no water since before noon, and a few hours under the burning skies of Florida are suflici- ent to render thirst intolerable. Whole days in a colder climate would scarcely have an equal effect. But horse and man suffered acutelyâ€"we could neither sleep nor rest without relief . water must be reached before a halt could be made. We felt keen hunger as well, for carccly any provision had been made for the long march ; but the pangs of this appetite were easier to be endured. Water would satisfy us for the night, and forward in search of it. ‘ .‘In this dilemma, the experience of our two guides promised rc- lief. They had once made a hunt- ing excursion to the savanna we had crossed. It was in the times when the tribes Were friendly, and white men were permitted to pass freely through the reserve. They ,rEmembered a pond, at which, upon that occasion, they had made their temporary encampment. They believed it Was not far distant from the spot where we had halted. It might be difficult to find it in the darkness; but to sufferer search for it were our only alternatives. The latter of course was adopt- ed ; and once more allowing Hickman and Weatherford to pion- eer the fiv’vay’, the rest Of us rode si- lcntly after. ‘ [We moved in single file, each horse guided-by the one that im- mediately preceded him; in the darkness, no other mode of march could be adopted. Our party was thus strung out into a' long line, here and there curving with the sinuosi- ties of the path, and gliding like some monstrous serpent among the trees. . GROPING AMONG THE TIMBER. , At intervals the guides were at fault; and then the whole line was fOrced to bait and remain [llOliOtllCSS, : Several times both Hickman and? 'Weatherford were puzzled as ‘to the direction they should ltake : they had lost the points of the compass, and were bewildered. Had there been light, they could have recovered this know- ledge by observing thc bark of the treesâ€"a craft well known to the backwoods hunterâ€"but it was too dark to make snob a minute obser- vation. Even amidst the darkness, Hickman alledged, he could tell north and south by the ‘fecl’ of the bark; and for this purpose I. observed that he was ' , against the trunks.

Thirst was torturing all those who heard it. Hitherto trusting that the skill of the hunters would enable us to find water, we had sustained it with a degree Of patience. It was now felt more acutelyvthan ever. , Stay; , few! mements had elapsed t ‘ all’s not lost that’s in danger.

Gee up! o'le beeswax, an’ let’s see if you kin.’ Giving his ‘critter ’ a kick in the ribs, and at the same time full free- doom of the bridle, Hickman Once more started forward among the trees. We all followed as be- fore, building fresh hopes upon the instincts of the dum brute. We had not proceeded far when it became known that the horse had got scent of the water. His owner alleged that he "smelt’ it, and the latter knew this as well as if it had been his dogs taking up the trail of a deer. The horse exhibited signs of such an intelligence. His muzzle was protruded forward, and now and then he was heard ‘snifiing’ the air; in addition to this, he walked in a direct 'line, as if making for some desired Object. The news produced a cheering effect, and we were advancing in better spirits, when all at once Hick- man drew up and halted the line. I rode forward to him to ascer- tain the cause. I found him silent. and apparently reflective. ‘Why have you stopped 'l’I in- quired. ‘ ‘You must all 0’ ye stop'here' a bit.’ ‘ ’ ‘. Why must we i’ demanded se- veral, who had pasSed alongside.

If the redskins ain’t thar, We’ll soon be back, an’ then yez kin come on to it.’ This prudent course Was will- ingly agreed to; and the two hunt- ers once more dismounted, and stole forrad afoot.

We drew nearer and nearer, un~ til it was not safe to advance fur- ther. . y. We .had arrived at the edge of the timber that surrounded the opening; we could see jthe whole surfaceof the open ground ; there were horses picketed Over it, and dark forms recumbent under the fire-light..

' COMFORTS FOR CATTLE. From the American Agriculturist. Good stables, good food, and good water, are the prime, comforts for. cattle in Winter. For Summer, whatever else they may have, how, can theyget along without a scratch- ing-pole? Rev: Sidney Smith, of. England, was something of a farmer,_ and used to visit his cattle daily, and fed and pet them, until they knew his voice and welcomed his coming. He used to do all invhis power to, make them comfortable. 'I-Ie has, been heard to say :-â€"”I’am for all‘ cheapluxuries, even for animals; now, all animals have a passion fori scratching their back-bones ; they break down your gates and paling to effect this.
