Properly equipped lor ine ood, lurnistied with suitAb-e proviso innsMhis blanket, his axe slung behind, ;and His gun on his shoulder, he trudged IgaUylnlonguntil lie arrived at Shin creek nhicli is unbridged, and was at that time ucht4wQlrrSvith late rains. A woodman seldom liesitatea at such obstacles 5 he proceeded up the bank of fteistream, and set about felling a tree across it, to serve as a. temporary bridgej it swirtig aside in falling, and launching into fteep water, it rooved away majesticauy uown me Our traveller -Mooked and look- stream, ed, and wist no what to do." He was not fnc tlerefor ined tor resume the axe : and resolved to proceed up stream, in hopes of finding a favorable place for crossing- At letth he arrived at one of tVoet placid -looking pools , which form deep stretches in pur rivers, ana aregen irallilfe still-water places.' Here Be made a kintf oT" raft sufficient to bear up his clothes -anti gun,1 and keep them dry, while he swam over and drew them after Mm. . tie wis soon busily engaged in reiabiting his , limbs, and refreshing bimsejf with a bit of bujjjscuit, seated on a flowery margin of a natural meadow, ahicp extended: along the banks of a stream when hjs ear; was startled by a Shining noise resembling the sounds fre quently, uttered by young bears; He in stantly seized his gun, examined the Itouchhole and re-primed, then clapping a ball into the barrel, H 1 with look intent, "And eve and ear attentive bent." fte stole cautiously towards the spot from, AVhende the soupd issued. I hey were hb longer uttered but he now and(then heard a crackling noise among the under brush, ;and perceived a twitching motion of the twig and spray, 'but could pot dis cover! what caused them. 'Convinced, Jbowever. that h had some animal to en counter, tus gun was at his snouiaer, ana his finger on the; trigger1. He then silent ly reasonedjwith himself whether or not lie should fire at random, but experience cautioned him against so rash an action, for riQ animal is more furious than a founded "bear.; As thus he mused, his I eyes became suddenly dilated, his heart iihrobbed' violently, he raised . himself rect ano let the butt of his gun drop quickly to theground!' What did he see? What did he gaze at? Behold ! among ; the raspberry bushes and seen through the. iiterstices of their many twinkling )eaveof .dewy green- behold ! he sees a beat tifb I infantile arm fitfully stretched out, ajnd little taper fingers plucking the rich, tipe, crimson fruit. v After he had.experienced the first flush of thejmingled emotions of surprise at the extraordinary'sight of horror at the bare idea of his gujg and his intended actand v pleasure in uie exnetiaiion or meeting tsociety in jhese deep and solemn soli iudegi our traveller advanced, and be held 4-little girl about .seven years old, seduluslyngaged in pulling and eating ofthe abundant wijd berries wh!crrs;were spread in great variety over that natural y rich. and verdant soot. She appeared to be, had a most an? interesting child ; her clothes respectable look, albeit they were wolully rent and worn : her fair iair played in; disordered ringlets mpr ,j Li- r . . -. o : ' MU U lt Hicn was oetrrimetr and m p u I er sort b)ue eves were red with eepijng.

She had fallen more from bodily weak ness than from fear, al(htuirh she had been greatly alarmed at the. unexpected appearance oMthe stranger. At length she ventured to look up, and, with a sweet but languid smile, said, slowly and Taint Pfn VOnow I am sure you won't hurt- O I am very sure you will hot kill me." - Kill you : God forbid," was the ful l -hearted reply. O I- am very tried I've been very, very hungry but I got plenty raspberries ; here -I nlj eat the good ones ; I never take them as have the spiders on 'em; mother bid me not to." Where tis your mpthef, ray dear child?" eagerly: inquired the traveller ": and he was answered, with the greatest simpti-i city. ' she's at homesir, I guess but mam don't know where I be I can't find out the way home ever so long." --What! my child, have you strayed, -'and are lost? Come to that flowery knoll with me. God has sent joe to preserve vour life. Come and I wit! give you some nice biscuit, and a bit oltneat. You are weak and worn, out I win take care or 'ou. ' ij.e poor innocent's soul burst forth in a "flood ot grateful tears, not attendetLwilh that hys teric "a Recti on which she had lately suffer ed. She derived great relief from weep- ing, aodyrepared to folloiw her new ben- efactor, but the excitement she had just experienced, acting on her sensitive, del- icate, and exhausted frame-had shaken every nerve, and , completely prostratea her strength. She was unable to walk, - . ; but tne kind and gfenerous Bearghan car- ried her to the bank ot the river, where he had let t his little store, and iudicious-i ly regaled her with spare and gradual " . .. A . DOrtions of food. I As soon as she was moderately refresh-J ed, her artless answers to his inquiries informed him that her name was Lydia Harper : her parents live near Hartt's Mills ; she had been sent with dinner to her lather, who was making, shingles a little way in the woods, but missed the right track, got bewildered, and wand er ed astray. When I knew I Was lost," she said, .' O was very yl Tightened -1 screamed, and rati about, and threw away father's Wl inner." It appears that he walked the first night until she ank down, nearly stupefied with fatigue. The traveller asked if she was not afraid when it grew dark, as she was all alone and lost in the woods ; to which she replied, T was a kind of frightened all the time; but when I lay down I said my prayers, that mam learnt -me, and then I wan't friffhtened." Do vou remember the praverr" "O I does sir, it is : I will lay me down in peace, and take ray rest: for it is thou. Lord, only that makest mc to iiwell in safety : and into thy hands I re-lof commend my spirit, my soul, and my I bodv : for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth! Amen." ; j Mr. Refirh5in neTt he-an to consider how the child was to be brought along.: Heion- If the traveller had passed Hart's .:.tn.n m-.u. n,cik.r loir's mi vras i5iJkit-ii unites iiaoi nvi , . his busmess would not allow him to re turn; he was about twelve miles from Trew's, and no house between. .The chilli was unable to walk ; he rigged out a contrivance by means 01 his blanket, and carried her forward on his hack. The delightful consciousness of perform ing a good action buoyed up his spirit? and nerved his frame, and he beguiled the rigor of his laborious task by the hftattle of his" little foundling, who had now become more sprignuy and iree. MU journeyed along, he inquired if she had seen any wild beasts in the woods; and she answered " No, I did'nt-only Kio.i, i.r.ii.nmin.r ii dogs were coming to t Mr. Burne's do?s- me uey were pot jyjr. uurpes uogs- they stopt, and one stood up on its hind feet they did'nt bark, but run ned away again.' Our traveller smiled at the child's simnlicity, while she! continued in sv O sir. last nipht; 0 when I awoke in the middle of the night, Oliow n-i o .1 t a t i fWn.,i;r T wa rlnoff tn Lra r hoarri ihl lru tMmnlino- -u-... . ir -.i...i,i nu;nnr . rinna, f i,o,t KoHcn.l Wn T rolled Star and Bright, thev lav still.

(Havinff carried his helpless charge un - til daylight vvas'gone, his fatigue was in creased by thes" difficulty of walking on an almost trackless road 111 the dark, and the moon did" not rise until near, ten o'clock. At length he arrived at a deser ted log hut, within two miles of Trew's, and almost exhausted he determined to make a. short stoppage to rjeruit ; , Here he thought to Jeyetht'"idhiff,rarpjiecr in his blanket, hilst he Vhould hurry on, and -sejid back immediate ; relief. He sirjJIl light, partook of some refresh ments witMier, but found great difficulty in getting her to consent to remain be hind. After he had prepared a pretty comfortable bed for her, and placecrher snuelv inlt.Jie sat down to watch until j she should TirH tiskep. The xoon had just risen, and before he started, he gent ly approached the child, to find if she were perfectly composed ; he held the light towards her,, she opened $ef blue eyes full upon him, averted her, head, and sobbed. No!" exclaimed thelrav eUer, -By all tfilit's sacred, I yeaf' I will not leave you behind!'' He forth with slung hisn axe and his gnrt, resumed his former equipment, raised little Lydia from her lonely couch and carried .her safely to the Jong-looked-for house of en tertainment. Although it W2S quite late 1 uapt. Josiah 1 rew was easily roused to admit the toil-worn traveller and Iiih lit tle companion, whonoW stdou. beside him at the threshold : for sometliiriotold hhn s - - ; that it was more seemlv that she'hould walk than be carried into the house. Tie had also tied a handkerchief under her chin, in the fashion of a gipsey-head dress, I They were' soon placed bv a comforta ble fire in a eood house, well-stored, and blessed with a hearty and hospi table land lord. Tlie females, as isi the custom of - - - - - - -1 - - phe country, were speedily afoot, and busy preparing the" renuired repast. We lancv we can spp' the mirih-lit counte nanee of facetmus Josiah bearriing with downright exultation, as he issued his - multifarious orders for every viand the . . house could afford to comfort the weai travellers. We can also fancy that we see his features o'ercloude and his eye glistening with genuine feeling as he re- lated that the whole courltry side had to oeen up and in search ot a clurd Jost in the woods : that parties had gone in all r i- 1 Mirections, but unhappily without success and that one of the people deeply dis tressed on the occasion." was now in the house. Our traveller immediately ex claimed that Providence had made him the happy instrument of recovering" tfye lost child, who now sat before them. Evcrv one flew round the little srirl. ex- Umined aud fondled her, and vented ex clamations of amazement and satisfac nion During this sudden bustle, a per son from the adjoining chamber rushed wildly in among the conipanv, snatched the hand of little Lydia, gazed on her for a moment, then clasped her to his bosom. It was her father: What a scene was here ! what an over flowingof the finest feelings which adorn humanity! what a gratifying interchange of those pure affections which spring from sincerity and trujh I .JButwhatltongUe can llStptrio emotions which fleeted in rapid success ion through the minds of that painfully happy group! The half-frantic joy and hrratitude of the parent the wandering fits of the enfeebled little sufferer the conscious self-satisfaction of the deliver- er the officious but sincere gratulations the excited inmates must all be esti- mated by the susceptibility of the reader. The beautiful train, of circumstances which Providence. employed in this aftec H'ng story is worthy of serious considera- Mills when the people; were stirring . ... . . abroad : if Shin creek had been bridged. if the tree had fallen across ; if he had no gun when he thought aj bear was by if these facts had happened, the child might have perished. Standard. AN EXTRAORDINARY CRtMINAL TRIAL. From the J1agara Courier, of Sept. 3. At the Court of Oyer and Terminer, held in this village last wek, Judge Gar- ner V:J g",sv . ' r"" ' X 4 .
