In the vear of the French liev lution, 1792, a young man' of good birth, fine education, and of good address, who was glad5 to escape with his life from those dreadful scenes oi carnage that, were being enacted in Paris, came to this coiin- tryl He was tall, lithe and hand some, with the mariners and the hands of an aristocrat. Finding nothing to do, for ho was prepared by education for ho labor whereby he could earn a livelihood, and the , i physical labor of the docks was so much belter done by the negroes, that he could not stand the compe titiop, he finally gave up in despair; and while he had money for the few implements needed, he started for the Oneida country, where he cut down a few saplings and built him- self a shelter from the weather. He endeavored to ' support himself by fibiing, shooting and trapping, but had made little progress "when he was stricken down with fever. His end seemed to have come ; nothing could be done. He was alone and helpless, and commending himsell ito the care of Heaven, he laid himself Uown to die. ' On the other side of the wood neaf which be had .built his hut, but hidden entirely from his view, there lay anr Indian village. One after noon an Indian maiden, out berry ing, espied the hut of the stranger, and naturally peered into it. Hear ing no noise, and seeing no one, she finally entered, and beheld a hand some man lying prone, very pale, and apparently dead.: Her woman's heart was touched 'with pity, and. glancing around the hut, she no tlced the want of all comforts. She saw too, that though insensible, he was still alive. ' The young girl paused not to think of his nation or his tribe. Her fleet feet took her back to heriwig- wam, whence she . returned with milk, rum, and a robe and blanket. With the atter she covereu mm, ft - ahd pouring a little rum uownjys tliroat, she pillowed his head upon her lap, and sat still and watched lum there. Presently he opened his fine eyes, and gave her a dim, wan dering, f wondering look. But he was faint ; he. saw, however, in ihe large, lustrous; black, deep-set. eyes of the squaw legibly written, "Thouf slialt hot be forsaken, stranger." j j She administered to him of , the restoratives she had brought, and signified to him as well as she could that he must sleep now,- and that she would return after a while and see him- He' saw in the kind, anx ious solicitude of his nurse, that. he was cared for hat God had sent an angei to him in answer to his rjrayer. - j In "a conjle of hours the Indian sxirl returns to her stranger patient ni'LL; N. C, SATUEDAY, ;J A with food and medicines for the ntght.She.. finds-1 him very weak and feeble, but much better: she makes him eat something, and gives him to umkirstand, by eye and pan tomime, that he must sleep, and she will see him as early: as possible next morning; she then makes him k as comfortable as she can. and with a happy smile and a cheerful heart - trips back to her wigwam. in the morning the Indian girl tells her mother about thest.rahger. At nrst she- is doubtful ami susui- cious, but she goes' with her daugh- ter to see the stranger--when' her heart' wanns to the handsome andu young, but very ; sick pale;face, and, vith true womanly feeling, : she busies herself about the sick man, who, shejinds, has a great deal of fever, and is really ill. She leaves her daughter to watch by him,! and goes to seek her husband, jwlio: comes to him. The old warrior pities the pale face, and thev remove i - ; him to their own wigwam for better nursing, where he leaves him to the women to make him well. ' In three weeks . good nursing brought him round, and he was a man again in all but strength. The patient endurance of the Cqunt, with his quiet, graceful manners, had won upon the little community, ancrNanita herself found a uan'g in her heart and a sigh on her, lip's at the mention of his departure. She had taught him somewhat of their language. , He felt grateful to his nurse and benefactress; while she Why is it, O woman! that the bird ... tnat we nurse is the bud that we love 'though she knew ' it not as j - ' j yet, loved hi ml . . lhe" old warrior, after bieakfasWj .i one morning, said i ''Stranger, the time has come when you should no longer be a stranger to us. Vou have a nathe in your ow n country , w hat may it be r .- " -j ; - : . . "Arthur De Lille they call me in my. own country." ' That name fell '.'on one hearty eli graven as w ith air iron pen upon! a rock- forever.- j ; "Then, Arthur De Lille," said the chieftain, ''stay with our people an other mqon. Hunt with us, fish with us, -go' to ' our ' council . fires, smoke with us, then go to your own country' Or. if yru Hike the red mairs life, and will- cast your; lot with us, we will atrout you into our tribe. .You shall be my son ; you 1 . . shall "be a Adopt our hunter, laud a w arrior, citotns and- our cos tumes, and e will give you a wile fiom our tribe." Nanita explained what he did; not understand to He Lille, who, turn ing to the chieftain, said : 1 Tit is well said, O chieftain. It shall be so;' and oft'ered his hand. They smoked a pipe together. And the understanding was conv piete.. ' :'!' Arthur De Lille grew from! conva lescence to robust health .rapidly. He walked, he wrestled. he -ran, with the. young Indians, where his great height was of much advantage to him. His eduation in the school of the athletes, and in fencing and shooting in Paris, now became of great service to him. With return ing health he developed great phys ical power ; the Indians w ere proud of him ; he was their equal in all sports, their superior in many things. . , ; i As the time approached for his decision,' De 'Lille went to the old warrior, and said : i ! . "De Lille wants to go into retreat for three days, to consider his decis ion, which is at handj- He wants to be alone, to consider the past and future, to consult the Great Spirit." "De Lille speaks'visely,,- said the chieftain. "It shall be so. No one sha 1 speak, to thee, for three days." And so it was ordered. Tie took his. gun and; went- to th'e top of a i ... s tnation. He reviewed the civilized t savages of France destrovinnr pvnrv- thing that was good. Then he - turned to the peaceful civilization of ihej savages going on around him, and thought of what he should lose, I nay, had lost, in France : tben ofthe lift of toil and labor before him : j then of its freedom the joyous, wild f life" of the Indian. He thought how he ltad been UnatcJied from death at home, how heisufiered in Now York, and since: hoiv now, by. this Indian wioman, he bad been brought -'from, death- to Htd ; and he lo9ked up to the Great i Spirit," and prayed, "Direct me in all niy doings with thy) most gracious favor, and furihi r me with thy. oii- tinual help." Then pie laid down to rest and. think. For threerdavs he continued the mlditations that were to fix a life,andat length rose from the ground reioieing in a psalm of w i - - prnise": 'T am an Indian.' he said r'l ihank thee, rather,. for this reye lattori of thy w ill.' ; The mind Alius made uj is fixed for ever, and it was so with De Lille. He now sought the accomplishment w ith avidity.! On his way home he sptjjke to every one he met, and meet- ng the old Warrior, he saH$ : 'II am an Indian ; embrace me." 'iWelcome, my son." And he em braced him. I)e Lille told him that HVhatever ceremonies were necessary,'1 he w'as ready for them. L "Til settle it at a council of the I . - t . i brave to-hight,' was the reply. ; Y ou promised me a wife, said - De Lill "Give me Nanita ? One motm; from iny' adoption into the - - triUe, I'll take her. Viv son, we must see what sue says to hat ; but jl'l I not objecti" iThev entered the wigwam, carry- iiig suLishine into it. .He strode up lb Nanita's hnother. and kissed her lei went up la Nanita and lsaid : '. 'Nanita, I am an Indian ! Help mej to be a good one." Her bright eyes danced in ecstacyl as Ishe threw herself on his bosom and wept there. He looked round ana the mother was weeping on the old man's bosom. Even the old warrior's eye was moist ;. but they welre blissful tears these people shed. . pe Lille was adopted into the tribe with the usual ceremonies, and . i . . . ' t ' j great rejoicing' .was there op the oc casion : ami at the feast of the sweets when the maple sugar ran, hje brought Nauita home to. his Wigwam as his wile. . She proved a good j wife ; al ways smiled upon him, and bore hi in many children? The, biessjng of jthc Great Spirit had come with De Lillebecame a great chieftain arpjong tie Indians. Hisj. superior edlication, his knowledge' of the French, English and Indian dialect became of great value with the tribes, nnfl he kent his own tribe at peace - r - wi h the whites, and he was much res pected by our government, lhus he lived twenty years. He visited New York, where he i learned so mucli of the tranquility ot France, as to restored beget I a hope that some of the broad lands he had left there might be restorecL to aim, and he vas not mistaken. lie sentbne of his sons to France to be edicated.

He was restored to his titles by Loiiis X VIII, when our squaw friend became the Countess De Lille. She visited Fi ance with her husband and was well received.

In femphis, when the( fever's deadly breath first, smote the city, a man, a stranger, offered his. services as a nurse. . They were accepted, and he began his duties in the hospital. life was skillful, attentive and unre j witting, in his care of the sufferers. It turned out hater that this man had but recently been released' from prison, where lie had " served out a sentence, of ten years. Some of the physicians upon learning this part of his history, regarded him a little suijpiciously, and hinted that his at tention to the sick was not without a c uestionable motive. They watch ed him sharply. Finally, from the funds ent by the- North, he was pa id for a month's service. It was eiough to have taken him out of the fever-striekeu country, had he chosen to go. lie was seen to go out ot th'e hospital on the day he received the money, and a colored pol i ce xri a,n fo 1 -lowed him. He hurried! along the streets until he came to the post office. There was a box- in Avhich to deposit contributiohs to the fever fund. The ex-convict dropped in every dollar he had received for the month, and then returned to his post at the hospital. -Two or three days laterj he was missed from his aooua-j tomed place, and it was not untjl thej next week that his body was found with that of an old negro, in a mis erable shanty. He had gone to nurse this negro,' who had been left to die alone, and so met his fate, being himself stricken with the fever. There was pone to offer- as much as a cup of cold water lo Ifim - . I who had tenderly cared for more than a. hundred of the feverWvic Urns. This mart had spent ten years behind prison-bars. V His crime is - 1 . not told.. Perhaps he was a thief, j)erhaps a lorger, possibly! a raur- dererJ But .however black his blots upon his life's- page, let it be said that his death- wiped them out. It living he trod only the paths of sin, his death at. least vfas divine for he died for others. ' ' -4 HISTORICAL BELLS.
