In the year of the French Revo 1 iuti0u. 1792. a voune man of eood "M'Ha.vuuugman 01 goou birth, fine education and ot good address, who was glad to escape from Paris with bis life, came to this country. He waa tall and baud some, with the manners of an arisi toorat. Finding nothing to do (for the physical labor of the docks was so much better done by the negroes, that he could not stand the competition) he finally gave up in despair , and while he had money for the few implement? needed, started for the Oneida eouutry, where he cut a few saplings and built himself a shelter from the weather. Be endeavored to sup port himself by fishing, shooting ond trapping, but had made little progress, when he was stricken down with fever, ills end seemed coming. He was alone and helpless, and com mending himself to the care of Heaven, he lay down to die. On the other side of the wood near which he had bnilt his hut, but hidden entirely from bis view, there lay an Indian village. One after- noon, an Indian girl, named Nanita, out) berrying, espied the hut of the stranger, and naturally peered into it. Hearing no noise, and seeing . r. . . j uo oue, sue nuauy euiereu, auu held a handsome man lying prone, . . annftrentiv dead a . verv Pd,e ana apparently aeaa. tier woman's heart was touched with it sh t tfa r . th h L J ' ' to iDfceUSlble, the man was Still alive. , . . i""S Ki pauacu uoi iu f ClT' I "k ber back to her wigwam.wbence 3he returned with milk, rum and a .lanb.ttfr Wltv tha ,at., al. nnxri -dred him, and pouring a little rum 3own fala tnroat sbe plowed his aead uP0a her laP and 8at 8til! and watched him.

She signified to him as well .is she could that he must sleep now, and that she would return af- , ter a while and see him. : In a couple of hoors the Indian tjirl returned to her patient with food and medicines for the night Sbe fonnd him still very feeble, but much better'; she made him eat, and gave him to understand, by eye and pantomime, that he must sleep and she would see him as early as possi ble the hext morning. In the morniug the Indian girl told her mother abont the stranger. At first the tquaw was suspicious, but she went with her daughter to see the stranger, when her heart warmed to the young pale face; and, with true womanly feeling, she bus. led herself about the sick man. The women removed him to their own wigwam for better nursing. Three weeks' good nursing brooght him round, and he was a man again in all but strength. The patience of the count, witn his quiet, graceful manners, won the little commuuity, aud all fonnd a pang in their hearts at the mention of his departure. The old warrior, one morniug, said : ''Stranger, the time has come when you should no longer be a stranger. You have a name in your own country. Whatis?' "Arthur De Lille, they call me in my own country." "Then, Arthur De Lille," said the chief, "stay with oor people ano'h er mooo. ttuut with us, fish with us, go to our councibfires, smoke with us, and then go back to your own country. Or, if yon like the red man's life and will cast your lot with us, wo will adopt you into our tribe. You shall be my son ; you shall be a hunter and a warrior. Adopt our customs and our cot umes, and we will give you a wife from our tribe.' Nanita explained what he did not understand to De Lille, who,turniDg ! to the chief, said : "It is well Kt'd. It shall be so' and offered his baod. They smoked a pipe together and the understanding was complete. Arthur De Lille rapidly grew from convalescence to robust health. He walked, wrestled arid ran with the young braves, his great height bj ing of much advantage to him. His education in Ibe school ot the ath letes and in fencing and shooting in Paris now became of great service fo him. With returning health be developed great physical power ; the Indians were proud of him, he was their equal in most sports, their su perior in many things. As the time approached for his decision, Da Lille went to the old warrior and said : "De Lille wauta to go into retreat for three days to consider his deeia ioo. He wants to be alone, to con sider the future, to consult the Great Spirit." kDe Lille speaks wisely. It shall be so. No one shall speak to thee, to ask anything of thee, for three days." It was so ordered. He took his gnn and went to the top of a moun tain, aud there considered his situ ation. He reviewed the civilized savages ot France, destroying eve rything that was good. Then he turned to the peaceful civilization of the savages going on around him, aud thought of what he should lose, nay, had lost, in France; then of the life of toil and labor before him; then of its freedom the joyous, wild life of tne Indian. He thought bow he had been matched from death at home, how he bad suffered in New York aud i.ince; how now, by this Indian wo- ,oan be had been brought from leath t0 lU QDd h6 l0ked UP t0 ,be Great Spirit and prayed : "Di j ect me iu all my doings with thv . . . most gracious favor, and further me with thy continual help." Then he laid him down to rest and think. For three days he continued the meditations that were to fix a lite, and at length rose from the ground rejoicing in a psalm of praise: ''I :hq an Indian," he Said- "I thank Thee, Father, tor this revelation of r;iiy will." The mind thus made up is fixed ; lor ever, and it was so with De Lille. ;ie now sought theaccomplishment ,f his purpose with avidity. On his vay home he spoke to every one he met : and meeting the old warrior. 1 e said : "I am an Indian ; embrace mc." "Welcome, my son." And the chief embraced him. De Lille said that he was ready for whatever ceremonies were nec essary. "I'll settle it at the council of the braves to-night," was the reply. "You promised me a wife," said De Lille, "Give me Nanita ? One moon from my adoption into the tribe I'll take her." "My son, we must see what she says to that ; but I'll not object." They entered the wigwam, carry ing sunshine into it. De Lille strode np to Nanita'a mother and kissed her. He went up to Nanita and said : "Nanita, I am an Indian I Help me to be a good one." Her bright eyes danced in ecsta sy, as she threw herself on his bos om and wept there. He looked round, and the mother was weeping on the old man's bosom. Even the old warrior's eye was moist. De Lille was adopted into the tribe with the usual ceremonies, and great rejoicing was there on the ocs casion ; aud, at the least ot the sweets, when the maple sugar ran. he brought Nanita home to his wig warn as his wife. She proved a good wife; always smiled npon him aud bore him many children. The blessing ot the Great Spirit bad come with her, De LiHe became a leading chief among the Indians. His superior education, bis knowledge of French, Eogliah aud the Iadiau dialect be came ot great value with the tribes; aud be kept his own tribe at peace with the whites, and be was mash respected by our government. Thus h lived twenty years. lie visited New York, where he 'learned so much of the restored. 'tm quility of Fiauce as to beget the iopu that some of l be broad laudw je left there might be restoied to jirn, and he was not mistaken. He ent one of his sons to France to be educated. Ho sent another to be educated in Columbia College, who ltterward became a prominent law yer In New York. He himself staed with his tribe. He was universally respected as a aithfol ally of our government, and mo continued to his death, in 1835. He was restored to his titles by Louis XVI II., and so Nanita be came the Countess De Lille. She once visited Fiance with her hus band and was well received. She returned fo this country, and spent her life in elegant luxury, on a large estate in the neighborhood of the spot whore H!ie first Haw her bus tand. His son and hers is a titled man i 3 France to-day. Thv Art of Lengthening JAte- l)r, Ebstfrin. of Goettingen, deliv ered a long discourse on this subject. from which we take the following: The question as to the natural du ration of life is first to be answered. According to the latest discoveries, the average length of life, in the i atural order ot things, is from sev enty to seventyfive years. Women 1 ye somewhat longer than men. The nortality among children, particu 1 irly less than a year old, is very j reat. From the age of puberty till 1 be fiftieth year the death rate is t mall ; from that time it becomes i reater each year. Too great an cid age is a questionable blessing, lecause a renewal of Youth can be reached in no way whatever. It is evident, therefore, tnat the normal I mit ct the age ot man is that which i ) attained without bitter breaking cown and suffering. The first coa c ition is a good foundation, a de. scent from parents physically and rientally healthy. Of further im portance is suitable maternal care cf the child. Then comes the school t nd military training for the in- crease of the powers of resistance.! In advancing life, a proper activity ' nust not b neglected. "An unused 1 fe is an early death." The correct cieaus toward reaching a good old 9 e were given by Moltke, wheu t -at question was going the rounds. T lese were"temperaDce and work." Not only temperance in regard to eiting and drinking, but the same a ust be practised iu every direction. A great number of deaths in the prime of life occur through accident oal wounds. (In business and inn dustrious lire and in war.) Another oirt on account ot soscalled consti jiitional illuesses, which are gener iiily the result of some innate phys ical defect of the human body. T jese can always be combated. A third part result from contagious d seases. The danger of infection c;,n generally be met by capable measures of defense. The art of lengthening human life has made it Ule 'advance up to the present lime. The ae ot man, in the avers age, has 'become no greater. Also tbe common principles of long life have been substantially the same in all times, only the relationships of culture and differing eras imply dif ferent occurrences and details. The speaker also insisted that the use of alcohol is entirely unnecessary, and that the danger of shortening human life is not to bo found in the greatness of intellectual work, but in its unsuitable organization.
