And he prcrrclics every hour
\Vith a shrill fanatic voice,
And a Bi_g_ot"s fiery scorn :—
“flackwzmls ye pr-csuinptuous nations :

Born to tll‘tttl‘_{(', and sweat and suffcr——
Born to labor and to pray :

Sleek and slotliful in his look,
And his words, as from a book,

Stand ye still, yc restless nations,
And be happy as ye are.”
Migtlrtier is the younger prcaclror——
Ucuius flashes froni his eyes.
And the crowds who hear his voice,
Give him, wlrilst,tlic':r souls rejoice,

In the year 179.8, at Scatacook,
M.
on the
NORWALK. CT. WEDNESDAY. oc'ro13‘i3rr 7, -
thriving and healtlry appearance. Early
in the spring of the abovt: nanied year, a
yorrrig man from N. York, accompanied by
his sister, passed through -the , place, and
being pleased with its quiet and beautiful
situation, he immediately purchased a
piece ofgronnd, and in the course of the
surnuicr erected a su'i=ill, but ncat apd corn-
foriable cottage. 'l his he furni.-lied with
almost every luxury nlricli the country
could boast. Nothing was l-znowu corr-
cerning his"hirlli plilfft‘, or parentage, or
even the |)l.r(‘C‘ where he had formerly rc-
sidcd. He appeared to have no business
beyond that of amusement, yet neaer
seemed in want. of money, as his table
was spread with the richest viands wlii.h
corild be procured, and large sums were
expended in furnishing his cottage aiul
improving and ornamcntinr_r his grounds.
Until this was completed his usual ‘cm-,
ployrncnt consisted in overseering the’
work; afterward his time was spent in
angling in the river, or sporting in the,
forest, or rambling about with his sister,’
a fair, dark eyed girl, a year or two youn-
ger than himself. \\'l:cn tlrev woaried of
this, the large and (‘linicc ‘library wirlrl
which he had already supplied his cott-.i_«_w,’
afforded them amusement as well as in-'
strnction, and when even this was foundl
irksorne, the sister's guitar St‘n_l'. forth its!
sweetest sounds, accompanied by the still-
swtcter tones of her voice. Elcgarrt
drawings, the work of her owti lrands,,
adorned the walls; wlri e the chaste, yet
splendid appearance oftlie cottage outside,
and of the grounds around, gave evidence
that the taste of the own~"rs had been
highly and strcccssfully cultivated. Still,
though they were affable to all the villa_<_r-
crs whom they clrsrriced to meet, nothiifg
was known of them, save that their names
were Irldwartl and Susan '.\"I(ri‘le_\»'.
, One afternoon, some time in the last
days of summer, the two strangers were
sitting upon a large mos:-y roc.k tliatjntted
far out into the musical stream of the
Housatonic. A tall and wide spread elm
hung its graceful branches over their
heads, and a soft brcczc, laden with the
perfume of the wild flowers that grew in
rich profusion aborit, played through the
leaves, giving tlrcur life and motion; while-
the birds who lrad irot yet learned to fear
their destroyer, man, warblcd their sweet-
est songs, and flew about in Sportive chase,
their glowing pluuiage glistening in the
clear light of a summcr’s sun. Edward
was angling, and many a shining trout
glanced out froui beneath the dark shade
of the rock to bite at the delnsive fly, and
to be drawn out struggling and panting,
quickly to breathe away its existence.
Susan held a book, but every few moments
her attention was drawn from it that her
eycmiglit feast on the beauties of_ the
scene around, all fresh and glowing as
they came from the Crczitor’s hand.
\Vliile the brother and sister were thus
engaged, a canoe came gliding silently
along, unobserved by them until it was
nearly opposite. As lidward suddenly
perceived it, a low exclariiation of surprise
burst from him._
‘Heavens! Susan,’ said he, ‘saw you
ever such beauty! C-an that be a creature
of the earth, earthy’! Is it rossiblc that
mortal clay can be fashioned into a form
of suelr lovliness! And the coloring! ir
mrrst have been such a being that the poet
saw in his vision when he said-
“’T is beauty truly bleiit, whose. red and white
Natui'e’s own sweet. and cunning hand laid our.” ’
‘She does indeed appearlovely,’ replied
Susan, ‘but what can it be! Is she not an
Indian girl '1.’
‘It must be Mowehue’s daughter by his
English wife, of whom \\'e have so often
lrcord,’ answered Edward, his gaze still
rivited on one of the occupants of the
canoe.
There were two others besides the sub-
ject of the above dialogue. One was our
?chief.\Iowehue, the other his wife, Alpoo-
lrali, (the name she bore among the lndi-
ans.) Brit were it possible for me to de-
_'scribe adequately the creature who had so

an arch smile playing about her pretty lips;
till finding that his success for that day,
at least, was over, she inquired of him if
it was not time to return Ironic. Edward
wound up his lines, and unconsciously
drawirlg " lleep slab, turned from the rock.
‘lleigho,’ said Susan, ‘\v.iat shall I do,
brother, when you get a new house keep-
er’! I suppose i shall be uristrcss of our
parlor no ioiiger, El; '1 brother!’
‘And why not, my sweet sis I’ said lie,.
in some surprise; but tioticing the mi.-.
chievous smile that was §_"ll.\I(‘lIlIIn' in her

Srisan,’coutinned be, ‘since you suspect
me alre:2dy, it is useless to deny the truth.
Nature will have its way, oppose it as we
will; and I confess that since I saw llrat
girl I have experienced emotions new and |
strange. In short, I believe tlrat—-that—’
"flrat you love her I’
‘Tliat is it precis<:l_y, though it seemed
so odd I corrhl not say it.’
‘How many times have you told me,
brother, that you could never love :1 wo-
man who was not perfect in beauty, in-
tellect, and accomplislimcnts'!’
‘Have I thongli‘! .-\h—-wcll—l did not
mean to say that I really lzzved this beau-
tiful creature, nor should I have said so if
you had not lclpcd me on‘; but that l
roulrl love her if she had enjoyed the some
opportunities for improvement that you
have, forl am certain she would H0‘i.‘l.i1\'(‘
enjoyed them in vain.’
‘But what will you do as she is 7!’
‘I shall visit her and see if she is as bar-
barous as the rest of her people about l.ci'e.
But I know she. is not. Did you mark
with whit grace she returned my salnta-_
tion? It absolutely made me aslramed of
my own manners. Perhaps her English
mother is lnlelll__";'C'l'1l, and his edricaited
the girl herself. Ah—thnt must be the
case. It could not be otlicrwise.’
‘Ah! Edward, and is it possible that
you can think of disgracin_r: your proud
relatives, and your family, of such pure
and :inc.ient blood as it is, by marr_ving a
child of the forest-—an Indian?’
‘What care I for relatives!’ replied he,
rvitli vehcmcnce. ‘Have we not left them
and the-irland forever! Have they any
claims, think you, on my affection and cs-
tccm '! Pure and ancient blood '! Do you
forget so soon that our mother was low
born, and did that cause us to love her the
less’! \Vas she not iucvcry other respect
superior to any daughter of any line in the
.iu,r_rdom'! Do you forgct——’
‘I forget nothing, Edward. I was only
trying to discover how deep a hold this
‘new and strange emotion’ of yours had
taken upon you. I thought not that you
would be so earnest in advocating the
cause of my prctt_v sister that I am to have.
But when do you intend to make your first
visit?’
‘This very evening, that is if I can man-
age to effect an acquaintance. I shall
sleep none to night irulcss l do.’
‘And I fear not very mncli if you do, bro-
ther. But see, we are at Ironic, and I will
have tea despzitclied as soon as pos.sible—
for fear your impatience should become
intolerable. And, besides, I confess my-
self almost as anxious to see the termina-
tion of this affair as you can possibly be,’
and so saying they entered the cottage.
Here we leave them awhile to follow the
corirse of i\Io\vt.hue and his family down
the river.
A short distance below the spot where
they passed Edivarrl and his sister, there
is a rift or rapid—througlr which, in times
of freshet, the water runs with great ve
locity. This rapid is nearly equally divi-
ded by a large rock, on either side of
which is a foaming eddy, where the water
sweeps rorrnd in a perpetual circle, and
then bounds and rnslres along, as if vexed
at the momentary delay, toward the
smooth, deep flood beyond. Neither of
these passes was considered very dange-
rous bv the Indians, brit when the river
was lriizli, as was now the case, canoes
-were frequently upset, especially on the
western side. Moweliue had so often

a solitary hunting house, by Mowe-
bue, formerly a powerful sachcm of New
Milford. History assigns several reasons
why he chose to sepcrate himself from his
,tribe; but we have occasion to belicve
lthat the real cause can be found only in
‘tradition. The truth of the matter was
,this. l\Iowcliue had taken to himself a
wife of the pale faces ', and it was her
solicitation, added to his own love of soli-
tude, that led him to exclude himself from
the society of his kindred and friends.
»But his love of the river and the forest"
’could' not always keep entire control over
his ambitious spirit, and he soon began to
gather adherents from every side, and
especially from Cliekamek:i,in the province
of New York. His wife, having become
accustomed to the Indian mode of life,
was as well pleased as he at the idea of
power, so that in ten or;twclve years (at
the time when the present town of Kent
was settled by Europr-airs) lllowehrie could
inrister an hundred practised warriors, arid
the whole number of his tribe wa.snot less
‘than six hundred‘.
' It is necessary to pass over eighteen
years from the time of _Mowehue’s mar-
=riage and settlement at Scritacook. By
‘»i.he year 1746, the white population of
Kent was quite numerous. Settlers from
'.Colchestcr, Norwalk, and New Milford
;l‘|3(l removed thither in considerable num-
ljbers, and the town. presented quite a

sachem. Her complexion was like that of
her mother in her fairer and younger days;
while from her father she had inherited
the dark eyes and hair, and the well roun-
ded, yet sprightly and agile form peculiar.
to the maidens of his race. She was-
dressed partly after the Indian, with some-,
what of the English style, in precisely?
such a manner as to exhibit her elegant,
form to the best awivaritage. Iler long hair’
was skillfully wreathed ‘with wild flowers,:

‘V’Vell, Edward, what reception did you‘,
meet. with from your fair princess '!’ asked
Susan Morley of her brother, as he return-
ed rather late in the evening from the tent,
or rather house of Mowehue; ‘did she eti-
tertain you in a manner corresponding to
her raiik 1’ _ _
‘Ay—-that did s;he——ln it style {Iraf woulcf
be creditable to any princess of the East.
I found her, moreover, every thing I could
hope f0r—beyund my wildest expectation
of what I supposed Irer to be. You have’
witnessed her beauty———but that will bear
no comparison with the richness of her
sonl-——and as to lmovvleclge, she actually
put me to the blush nrore than once during
the evening! She conversed with the’
greatest apparent ease, and on any subject
—while her rcrnarks were evidently the
sentiments of her l.eart,- and chaste and
pure as the source froui which they’
s rung.’
‘W ll, brother, you astonish me. But
yesterday you were speaking‘ to me in
hearty dispraise of all women, excepting
indct-rd my cave." se f; and declaring ,that',r
i'riasin::c'li as it was‘ impossible‘ to find one
who even approached the standard of ex-
ccilciice you had created in your own
,mind-—one who united beauty with virtue,
and siinp'l‘i~'c‘ity wi-tli intellect and knowl-
edge-——yori were determined never ternar-
ry; to day you are fairly enchanted with’
an Indian girl—bcautiful enoughl grant
you-—but whom you never saw but twice
in your life, and know nothing at allaboiit‘
except from your brief conversation with
hertliis evening. Thi-s speaks‘ well for
your consistency.
‘But you inrrst consider the circumstan-
ces. Yesterday I had no hope ever to-
meet with one who would, in every partic-*
ular, please me; to day I have accidental-
ly discovered such a one—my determina-
tion, therefore, stands for nothing.’
‘And did you commence wooing imme-_
diatcly 'l’ , _ _
‘Ah! there's the trouble! I found’ 5
young Indian there who saved VVeenora’s
rlife down in the rift, where the canoe up-
set after they passed us this afternoon:
.I-le is a stranger, from some one of the
hills about, and Morvehue, us I fancy, has‘
in en a sudden likingto him ; and although
I was received as graciously as, consider-
ing the circumstances, could be expected,.
yet the thought that the old Chief might
compel her to marry that young Otho, as
ll'i(‘_V called him, made me the most un-
comfortable being alive.’ __
‘What, jealous already, Ned’! Indeed I
almost begin to pity VVecnoi'a now, in case
she should ever become your wife. Bod
do you think her mother would consent to’
her marriage with an Indian?’
‘And why not pray’! Is not Mowehne an
Indian, and her husband too’! This Ot-ho‘
may be brave, but I had mrieh rather’ be’
