One of the first settlers ia Westers New York wn Judge V , who esUbliahed hiinaelf in Wbitestcwn about tour miles from lTlica. lie brought his family with him, among whom wna a widowed daugh ter with an only child a fine boy about four, years old. Yoq. will recollect, the country around was an unbroken forest. and thta was tue domain of the aavsge tribes. Judce W saw the necessity of keep ing on good terms wian the JndiAas, for as be was nearly lne, he waa completely at their mercy. . Accordingly he lock every opportunity to asuure them of his kindly (eeliriga, nd to secure, tbeir goodwill ia retura. Several or tbe cbiets came to see him, and aUre,iprared pacific. But there waa one thing that troubled him; aa aged chief of the Unrtda trine, and one of, great 'notriee. . tw mideu at a dietaiw otaen mdes, hd not yet been to see . bim, m r could be ascertain the Tiewa aad feel ings of the sachem in respect to his settle ment ia that region. ' At last he sent him a message, and the answer was that tbe chief wuuld viail him on the morrow. True to bis appointment, tbe sachem came;- Jude W -received - him with marks of respect, ttnd introduced his wife, h' daughter andlittl b1y. The interview that followrd was interesting, t'pon its re sult the jujge was convinced his security miht depend, and he was therefor ei ceedingly anxious to. make a favoraUe im prrsion upon the di -tingiiinhed chief. He expressed his desire to settle in the country, li live on terms of amit) and good fellow ship with the Indians, and to be useful to ihem by ititroducing among them the arts of civil, znlion. " The chief hoard him out, and then said "Brother, you ask much. What pledge can you give of your faith Tlie white man's word mar be good to the white man, yet it is wind when spoken to the Indian." "I have put mj life in your hands," said the Judge; "is not that an evidence of my good intention.? 1 have plnced Confidence in the Indian, and w ill not believe that he will bus-ir betray the, trust that is thus reposed." v Vv :" ' ,v "So nrueh is well, replied the chief; "ibe Indian wnrrj'irt dencc; if you will trust bim he will Irust you. Let ih; liy go with me to my wig .wain I will bring him back in three days with my answer." . " U an arrow bn.d pierced the bosom of the moil.er, she cmld not have felt a deeper pnng thin went te her heart as the Indian made this proposal. She sprang forward, and running to the boy, who stood at the side of ibe sHchem; looking into his face with pleased wonder and admiration, abe encircled him in her arms, and, pressing him to her bosom, was about to fly from the room, A gloomy and ominous frown came over the sachem's brow, but he did not speak. " Bui not so with Judge W- He knew tbe success of their enterprise of the lives of his family depended on the decisiorr'of a moment. "Stay, stay, my daughter," he said. 'Bring back the boy, 1 beseech you. He is not more dear to you than to me. I would not risk a hair on hi head. But, my child, be must go with the chief. God will watch over him. Hey will be aa aafe in the sa chem's wigwam as beneath our own root." : Tbe agonized mother hesitated for a moment; she then slowly returned, placed the boy on the knee of the chief, and kneel ing at hia feet, burst into a flood of tears. The gloom passed from the sachem's brow, but be said not a word. He rose and de pal ted. . . , -j. We shall not attempt to describe the agony of the mother for the ensuing days. She was agitated by contending hopes and fears. In the night she awoke, from sleep, seeming to hear the screams of the child calling on ita mother for help. But the time-wore slowly away, and the third, day came. How slowly did ihe hours, pass! The morning waned away; noon arrived; yet the sachem came not. There waa S gloom over the whole household. The mother .was pale and silent .

S : THE -MAKING U1V 1 "I wish I had'nt said id Dear me! what would I eive if I could only recall it?" mur mured Mrs. Leeds, as she leaned her face down on the arm she had rested on the breakfast table, while the thick tears aob- bed up in ber blue eyes. She was a pretty little woman, this wife of a year, (hough tears dimmed her face, and the trouble at her heart abut off the rosea from ber cheeks, that cbeerlesa- NoW vember morning, with the dull-brownish clouds piled low about tbe sky, and the noarse wind cracking and crumbling through trie trees outside. "To think, too," continued the lady, rais ing her bead once more, and abstractedly lilting tbe cover off the chioa tea-pot "he should have spoken so crosstr and sharolv to roe, just because I said I should like that oe w velvet carpet at Mver's. WelL 1 don't believe, for my part, there was ever such a thing ark woman satisfied with what she baa rot.- I think it was real unkind of hurt, any war: and sothins in the world could have made me believe, before I mar ried Henry Leeds, that he would have us ed that tone of words in spesking to me. uut l cuess 1 waa more to blame than be. alter all i Kir I said a good many satirical things.' I almost wish any tongue had been eut off before they paaned my lips; but somehow my temper cot the better of me. and he went off without one kind ward, or even si'"? ma F. Htw waa aawthaw wit break of tears. . "He won't be home till nlchf, and how can I ever get through this itmg. dreary, dismal day, Knowing all the time llais an gry with me ; he who has been such a true, trenvrous, loving husband I How I wish I could see him, just a minute, and forgetting an my prnie. win a my arms aoout nisneCK and say, ' Hal, I'm really sorry ; won't you forgive me this once ?' and I will too. " The pretty lady Fprurig from the. table, a new determination heightening the faint color in her cheeks, and bringing back the sparkle to her blue eyes. I'll take the omnibus, and go right down ta the office, and male up with bim ; see ifldoVL" The young merchant was leaning, with a weary, half-dejected sort of expression, over hia desk, about which were scattered hills, drafts, letters, in endless confusion. Sonmhing had gone wrong, ilia clerks knew this when he came into his store that roorniii,s"jj(Hmy and retirent, so through ly unlike his usual brisk, energetic, jovial manner, that always onrried sunshine into the d;trk wardrooms. Even lite porter felt something of this, fur he stood at a respect ful distance from his employer,, and didn't indulge in any of his old stitle jokes. . Suddenly the merchant iiwiked up. and saw his wife making her wav through the store; -"Straight tit his deskr How pretty she looked that mornifig, in the little tasteful velvet hat, with its crimson trimmings about her cheeks, that were so charmingly be coming, and that hnlf smile dimpling the rosy, ttmall mouth, that he could hardly be lieve had said such very unkind things to him only a few hours before. Now Harry Leeds was very proud of hi wife, andVif, thee videotadmjration which her occasional advent at the store always excited. He'rose up to meet her, tbe sur prise in hia face half chasing the cloud therefrom. She came close to him. Harry," whispered the soft, eager, tim id voice, " Fm so verrv sorry I said those cross thing to you this mora ing ; 1 was greatly to blame, and they've made me un happy ever since ; ao I've come clear down here to make up, and hear you say once more that you love me." The cloud waa all gone. There was a world of fond tenderness that lookeddown from those dark eyea on the lady. Why, bless you, Adeline I you haven't come clear off here for that f I was more ta blame than you, a great deal, but some business matters were troubling me, and I'm a touchy fellow, I guess, apy how." , "No; you re not; 1 felt all the time that iron were displeased with me. .But yon do ove me just aa well as ever 7 r That smile, that glance, would have sat isfied an v wife. -She is a jewel, any. how," murmured Harry Leeds to himself, after she had lett, as he. arranged his disordered desk, with a face as changed and bright as the sky outside, for the sun had suddenly plung ed through the clouds.' " If we ha ve pretty good sales this week, I'll just get her that carpet for a Christmas present see if I don't." ' : : r .

This position of body is a favorite wiih thei, in the simple promenade in the garden or gal lery, in attending ladies along a crowded street,in standing on the street, or in public worship. Many persons spend a large por tion of their wuking existence in a sitting po sition.

And we see no reason why children should not be taught from tbe 'vjegirming to write and sew and knit, in a posiiioa requiring the lower sortion of the bud v And tbe boul ders to touch tbe back of the chair all thu time. A Very common position in sitting, esneeiallv ainonar men. is with tha shoulders against the chairback with a space pf sever al inches between Jba ehairnack and the lower portion of the spine, givirfg tlie body the shape of a half hoop ; it is the instants neous, instinctive and almost ODiversal po sition assumed by any consumptive on sit ing down unless counteracted by an effort of the will ; hence parents s!uld regard such a positron in their children with ppr hemion, and should rectify it at once. The best position after eating a regular meal ia to nave the bands behind tbe back, the bead erect, in moderate locorrtotion. and in the open air. if the weather is not chilly. Half an hour spent ia this way after meals, at least after breakfast and dinner, would add health and length of days to wonoen in edsv life, and. to sedentary men. It is a VhaUAik - which ncuij utcnn tiicmiua. . . ; 'a a . WHICH IS THE ILAPPIEST SEASON. At affestal party of old ami young, tbe question was asked, " which season, of life is the happiest?" After being freely dis cussed by lh guests, it wss referred for answer to tbe host, fjpon whom was the burdeu of forescpre years. He1 asked if they had noticed a grove of trees before the dwelling, and said, " When the spring comes, and in tbe soft air the bud are breaking on tlie trees, and they are cover ed with bloasoms, 1 think. How beautifnl is spring ! And when the summer comes, and covers the trees with its heavy foliage. and singing birds are among the branches. I think, Mow beautuul is summer! When the autumn loads them with golden fruit, and tbeir leaves bear tbe gorgeous touch of tbe frott, I think, Uow beautiful ia au- utmn! And when it is senr winter, and there is neither foliage nor fruit, then I look up through the leaflets branches, aa I never could till now, and see the' stars'shine." . -.

The pit was eight or ten feet, deep and tbe sides were perpendicular.' Great was' the astonishment of llie tnan, and greater yet was hia embarrassment, at finding himself " in that position; and it was not until after having lor soniS time c&UmI in vain ttr'- help that he resolved to wait patiently for ' day light, and meanwhile make himself comfortable as possible But hardly had he taken thia resolution when be felt a heavy weight fall on I his shoulders. This was a woll, which, attracted bv the bait had also been Caught by tbe trap. You -can easily' imagine tbe fright of tbe nnfor- - tunate man. indeed, the terror of tbe lour legged animal waa not less, for it retreated at once and laid itself down in one .corner " and did. not move during tluA night.

The owner of the trap came early to see What he bad caught, and found . his neighbor in the pit. He drew out the unfortunate man more dead than alive ; but be was less generous toward the wolf, w hicly he killed notwithstanding his exemplary conduct through the night.
