Concludedfrom our last. , Soon alter sunset we stopped tor the night, and the men set about erecting a tyingam, while the wo- men kindled afire. One of our party had killed a small deer in the courseof ou'rxjourney, and he im- mediately proceeded to skin the animal, that a portion of it might be dreSsed tor supper. When the venison was ready, they all. sat down and partook of it, and a li- beral allowance was handed to me; but the same silence prevailed that had hitherto been observed among them. and the comforts of a plenti- ful repast after a long journey did not appear in the least degree to promote social communication. The meal being finished,the men filled their pipes with odorilerous herbs, and began to smoke in the most sedate manner, and the wo- men prepared beds by spreading skins upon the ground. The com- posed demeanour ol the party har- monised Well with the silence and gloomiuess ol the night; and it seemed that the awful solitude of the forests In which they lived. and I.he sublime and enduring forms under which nature continually presented herself to their eyes, had impressedthem with a sense of their own insignificance, and ofthe tran~ sitoriness of their daily occupations and enjoyments, and rendered them thoughtful, taciturn, and unsus- eeptiblc. l seated myself at the root of a large tree near the wig‘ wam, and continued observing its inmates, till overcome by fatigue, [ sank into a deep sleep. Pure as the Bllver wreath ofsnow That hes on yonder wintry hill, Are all the thoughts that peacetul flow, And with pure joy my bosom fill, Soft as the sweet spring’s wooing breath, 0r Summer’s zephyr, forth they roam, Until my bosom grows more kindy And dreams of thee and all at home. About midnight I was awakened by some one pulling my hand, and on looking up, I perceived the Indian who had Oppos- ed my accompanying them, and whose name was Outalisso, stand- ing beside me. He. put his finger on his lips, by way of enjoining silence, and motioned that I should rise and follow him. I obeyed, and he led me behind a large tree which grew at a little distance {mm the Wigwam, and said, in a low voice, ‘ Listen to me, my friendâ€"l told you that you would receive no harm from us; and shall I belie my words? ’l‘hakakaweren- te, who requested that you might be allowed to follow our steps, says that his father was murdered by a party of people under your command. about nine moons ago. This may be true. and you at the same time may be guiltless; for again. and if his father visits him a. third time during sleep, he will certainly kill A. you whenever he awakes. You must therefore has- ten away, if you wish to -Iive any lionger.’ ‘fiWhat canl do ?’ cried I ; ‘ death awaits me whether I re- we cannot always control those who are piaced under our authoriâ€" ty.

Outalisso motioned me to hurry away, and l departed with a pnlpi~ tating heart. and plunged into the recesses ol the forest, and regulated m course in the manner he direct- ec. The moon was rising. and I could see to a considerable distance around. The rustling ol'_ the dry leaves among,r my feet ofBen made me think that; some one walked close behind me, and l scarcely dared to look back. lest I should see an uplifted tomahawk descend ing upon' my head. I sometlmes fancied I observed Thakakaweren- 1e lurking among the brushwo‘o‘d, and stopped short till imagination conjured up his form in a diflerem part of the forest, and rendered mp irresolute which phantom I should endeavour to avoid. I sat down, and found the agita- tion gradually subside under the tranquillising influence of the scene. Not a breath of wind shook the trees. the leafless and delicately-fibreo' boughs of which, when viewed against-the cloudless sky, seemed like a sable network spread overhead. ' The nests wich the birds had made the preceding summer still remained among the branches, silent, deserted, and un- sheltered, making the lonliness of the forest. as it were, visible to the mind 3 while a withered leafdrop- ped slowly downâ€"a sad memoral of the departed glories ot the Vege- table world. A small rivulet ran within a short distance of me. but its course Was so Concealed bylong grass that I Would have been aware of its existence by the mar- murng of its waters only, had l not glittered dazzingly in the moon- shine at one spot, while flowing over a large smooth stone. When I looked into the recesses of the for- est, i saw te’e trees ranged before each other like c‘oldssal pillars. and gradually blending their stems t0< gelher, until they formed a dark and undefined mass. In some places, a scatched trunk, whitened with the moss of successive cen- turies, stood erect in spectralagran- deur, like a being whom immense age and associations, riveted to long pastimes, had isolated from the sympathies of his fellow mor- tals. v As the moon gradually rose on the atch of Heaven, her light tell at different angles, and the as- pect of the woods was continually changing. New and grander groups of trees came into view.and mighty oaks and chestnuts seemed to stalk forward, with majestlc slowness, from the surrounding obscurity, and after a time, to give place to a sucoession of others. by retiring amidst the darkness from which they had at first emerged.â€" Tremors of awe began to pervade my frame and [almost expected that the tones of some superhuman voice would break the appalin silence that prevailed in the WM - erness around me. I reached the tree sooner than 1 expected ; it lay along the ground, and its immense roots projected from the trunk, at right angles, to the heiuht of twelve or fourteen feet, their interstices being so fitted with earth that it was impossible to see through them. main here or fly {fifle Thakaka- werenle. It is itnpoéS‘ible for me to reach home alone.’ ‘Be patient,” returned Outalisso, ‘and I will try to save you. Not far from hence. the roots of a large 0843, which has been blown down by the wind, stretch high into the air. and may be seen at a great dis- tance. You must go there and wait till I come to you. Keep the mossy side of the trees on you? left hand, and you will find the place without any difliculty.’ My mind. by degrees, by (18-: grees, became so calm thatI drop-i ped into a half slumber, during whichl had a distinct perception where l was, but totally forgot the circumstances Connected with my situation. A slight noise at length startled me, and l awalred lull of terror, but could not conceive why 1 should feel such alarm. untit. re- collection made the form of'I‘hak- akwerente, flash upon my mind. I saw a number of indistinct forms‘ moving backwards and forwards a‘ little way from me. and heard‘ something beating gently upon the ground. A small cloud floated be- fore the moon, andl waited with breathless patience till it passed away, and allowed her full radiance to reach the earth. I tlten discov- that five deer had come to drink at the rivulet; {and that the noise of Iwaitcd impatiently far the ap: pearance of Outalisso, who had not informed me at what honrl might expect to see him. The stars now twinkled feebly amidst the faint glow oi dawn that began to light the eastern horizon, and the setting moon appeared be hind some pines. and threw a rich yellow ra-‘ diance upon their dark green‘ boughs. Gentle rustlings among‘1 the trees, and low chirping‘s, an- nounced that the birds began to leel the influence oi approaching day; and I sometimes observed a solitary wolf stealing cautiously along in the distance; While en- gagediw contemplating.-1lie scene, I suddenly thought] saw an Indian a little way ofl‘, I ‘could not ascer- tain whether or not it was Ontaliss‘o but, tearing it might be Thaltaka- werente, whom I dreaded to en- counter in my unarmed state, Ire~ tired from the root of the tree, and concealed myself among some brush wood. Whenl surveyed the Heavens, l perceived by the alteration which had taken place in their appearance that I had slept a considerable time. The moon had begun to descend towards the horizon ; a new succession of stars glittered upon the sky ; .the respective posi- tions of the different constellations were changed; and one of the planets which had been conspicu- ous from its dazzling lustre. a few hours before, had set, and was no longer distinguishable. It was overpowering to think that all these changes had been effected without noise, tumult or confusion, and that worlds - performed their revolutions, and travelled through the boundlessness of space, with a silenCe too profound to awaken an echo in the noiseless depths of the forest, ordisturb the slu'moers of a feeble human being. I remained there for some time, but did not perceive any one near, and thinking that I had been de- ceived by fancy, I resolved to re- turn to‘ my former station, and ac cordingly set ottt towards the great ‘ tree, but shortly became alarmed! at neither reaching it or seeing it sol soon as I expected. I turned back in much agitation, and endeaVOui-g ed to retrace m} steps to the brush- wood, but all in void. I examined the most rer‘narliable trees around me, without being able to recol'ect of having seen one of them before. I perceived that I had lost myself. The moment I became aware of this, my iaculties and percr-ptions seemed to desert me one after an- other, and to last I was conscious of being in existence only by the feel- ing of chaotic and insuporta'ole hopelessness which remained ; but after a little time, all my intel- lectual powers returned with in- creased vigor and acuteness, and appeared to vie with each other in giving me a vivid sense of the hor- rors of my situation. My soul seemed incapable of aliording play to the tumultous crowd of feelings that struggled to manifest them- selves. l hurried wiidly from one place to another. calling on Outa- lisso and Thaltaltwerente by turns. The horrible silence that prevailed was more distracting than a thous- and dealening noises would have been. I staggered about in a state of dizzy perturbation. My ears began to ring with unearthly sounds and every object became distorted and terrific. The trees seemed to start from their places, and rush past each other, intermin- gling their branches with furious violence and herrible crashings, while the moon car‘éered along the sky, and the stars hurried back- wards and forwards with eddying and impetuous motions. them striking their forefeet against its bank had aroused me. They stood gazing at me with aspect so meek and beaulitui that they seem- ed almost to incorporate with the moonlight, but, after a little time, they started away, and disappeared among the mazes of the forest. I tried in vain for a tong time to cumpose myself, and to bring my fceiings under due subordination.â€" ’[‘he rcmembrsncn of the past was obliterated and renewed by fits and starts ; but at best, my recollection of anything that had nc'curred to me previous 10 the breaking up of the ice upon the lake, was shadowy dim and unsatisfactory, and I felt as if the former part of my life had been spent in another world. [ lay down among the witherpd leaves, H I soon began to make the woods resound with the name of Outalis- so; but in the course of the day a tempest of wind arose. and raged with so much noise that I could hardly- hear my own voice. ,A dense mist filled the air, and in- volved evervthing in such obscurity that the sphere of my vision did not extend beyond five or six yards. The fog was in‘ Continual agitation roliing along in volutnns,asecnding and descending, bursting open arid closing again, and assuming strang and transitory forms. Every time the blast rece‘iVed an accession of force, I heard a' conlused roaring and crashing at a distance, which gradually inereased in strength and distinctness, till it reached the part ofthe forest that stretched around me. Then the trees began to crealt and groan incessantly, their boughs were shattered against each other. fiibres of wood whirled through the air in every direction. and showers of withered leaves. caught up andvsxvept along by the wind, met and mingled with them, and rendered the confusion still more distracting. I stood still in one spot, looking fearfutly from side to slde, in the prospect of being crushed to death by some immense mass of falling timber, for the“ trees around me, _when viewed through the distorting me- dium of the lug, olten appeared to have lost their perpendicular-it), A and to be bending towards the earth, although they only waved in the wind. At last I crept under the trunk of an oak that lay along the ground, resolving to remain there until the tempest should abat. Ashort time before sunset the wind had ceased,.the n‘iists Were dissipated, and a portion of the blue sky appeared diretillv above me. Encouraged by these favour- able appearanbjés. I ventured from my plac‘c of refuge, and began to think of making another attempt to regdinthe great tree, when I heard the répert of a rifle. I was so petrified with joy and surprise that 1 had no power to call out till the firing was repeated. I then shouted ‘ Outalisso?’ sevdt‘al times, and goon saw him advancing to- Wards m8. ‘ Why are you not al the plab’c I appointed?’ (tried he; ‘ l f feared ybu liad lost yoursalf, and dis- charged my gun as a signal. But all danger is past. Thakakawmem 1e is deadâ€"I killed him.’ There was some blood on Outalisso's dress, but he looked so calm and car’eleSs that l hesitated to be- lieve what he told me. ‘ I do not deceive you ,' said he, ‘and I will teli you how Thakaâ€" \verente came by his death. He awaked soon after midnight, and not findtng you in the camp, sus- pected thatl had told you that he‘ intended to kill you. He taxed me with having done so, and l scorned to deny it. His anger made him forget the truth, and he said l liad betrayed my trust, and at the same time struck me on the face. Now. you know, an Indian never forgives a blow, or an accusation such as he uttered. l buried my tomal‘awk in his» head. His friends lay a steep in the Wigwam, and I dragg ed away his body to some distance and covered it with leaves, and then concealed myself till I saw them set out on their tourney, which they soon did, doubtless supposing that Thakakawerente and I had gone on before. I have been at the great tree since morn- ing. but the mist and the tempest prevented the {mm geeking you till now. Be satisfied, you shall see the corpse of Thakakawerehlc‘.

I gradually became quiet and resigned. Outaisso now began to proceed rapidly through the forest. and I walked behind him without ulter- ing a word. We soon reached the spot where the Indianshad slept the preceding night, and (band the wig- wam remaining. and likewise sev- eralembers of fire.

Outalisso now renamed to at; range the dress '0 the dead man. and likewise stuck the toifiéhawk id his girdle. He next went a little way inio the forest for the pur‘ pose of collecting some bark to put in’ the bottom ofthe grave, and l was left alone.
