On the eontrary, Moredoik was an example of something apparently Self-Cuntra liclinir, certainly curious, but, at the same time, undeniable namely, that nearly all Indian liateia have at bottom loving hearts, il anything, more generous than the average. Certain, it i that to the degree in which he mingled in the lite of Rltlt-ments, Moredoek showed himself not ithout humane No eold husband or colder father, lie; and, though often and long away from his household, lie bore its need, in tuind, and provided fur them. He could be very convivial told a (food slary (though never of bis own private exploit), and fung a capital song.

Hospitable, not bsckward to help a neighbor bv report, benevolent as retributive, in secret; while, in a general manner, though sometimes grave as is not unu-oial with men of his complexion, sultry and tragical brown yet with nobody, Indians exceptid, otherwise than courteous in a manly fashion a moccasined gentleman, admired and beloved. In fact, no one was more popular, as an incident to follow may prove. His bravery, whether in Indian fight or any other, Was unquestionable. An olbcer iu the ranging service, during the war of 1812, he au-quitted himself with more than credit. Of his soldierly character, this anecdote is told Not long after Hull's dubious surrender at Detroit, Moredoek, with some uf his rangers, rode up at night to log house, there rest till morning The horses being attended to, supper over, and sleeping places assigned to the troop, the host showed the Colonel his best bed, not on the ground like the rest, but a bed that itood on legs, liut oat of delicacy, the guest declined to monopolize it, or indeed, to occupy it at all; when to increase the inducement as the host thought, he was told that a general uflicer had slept in that bed.

'Who prny asked the Colonel. 'General 'Then you must not take offence, said the Colonel, hultouing up his coit, 'but, really, no coward's bed for me, however According he took up with valor's bod a cold one on the ground. 'At one time the Colonel was a member of tlie territorial council of Illinois, and at the formation of the Slate Ciovernment at pres-ed to be-mine a candidate for Governor, but begged to be excused. And, though he declined to give his reasons for deulining, yet by those who knew li i in the ciiue was not wholly unsurmis-ed. In his oflieiul capacity he might be called upon to enter into friendly treaties with Indiun tribes, a thing not to be thought of And even did no such contingency urise, yet lie lelt there would be an impropriety in the Governor of Illinois stealing out, now and then, during re-Cets of the legislative bodies, for a few days' shooting at human bdngs, within ti lircili of his puternal chief magistracy.

If the governor ship offered large honors, from Moteilock it demanded larger sacrifices. These were incompatible. In short, hi) was not unaware that to be a consistent indiiin huter involves the renunciation of ambition with its objects the pomps and glories of the A Cunning Baboon. Many are the anecdotes related of the baboon. An Indian chief possessed a tame bubooo, which, in common with all the monkey race, entertained a dread of snakes; its master, from iiirio wantonness, forcibly entwined a dcud Miuke ronud the baboou's neck, when the animal sut motionless for upwards ol an hour, stupefied with fcur, and, on the snake being remuved, stole timidly into the hut of the chief.

After a ehoit time, thd babouu was, no-cording to custom, called on by his master to scratch bis head but although summoned several times in an angry voice, it refused to move. The chief rose and struck it with a stick, and immediately the enraged and aggrieved nnivial sprang upon him; the neighbors hearing the foulll, ran to see what wus the matter, but could disiinguish nothing through the dust rais ed in tlie interior ol the hut, except hot cinders which were kicked about iu nil directions from a tire in the centre of the abode. The screams of the man and baboon were, intermingled, till at length the latter d.ishtd out through the by standees, and es aped to the mountains. The and spirits daily improved, yet in the mil si of all this flow ing tide of new lire, Estelle astonished her friends by suddenly, in the height of the Loudon season, retiring to tier father's country teat, where she remained in strict seclusion from the world for eighteen months. At the end of this priod.

Lord Montressor, who had never left England, or lost trace of his beloved Stella, and who was now staying at his castle in Doretsliire, was one e'ay seated at breakfast when the morning mail was hroucht him. Among a score of letters the first that attracted bis attention was a dainty white envelope superscribed iu a delicate handwriting. He look thatMip first and opened it it contained but one word The liiht of an ineffable joy broke over bis face! Oil I he had waited, patiently, hopefully, years, fur that word, and at but he received it Thanks In heaven in the first instance and then pushing all the other letters'unopened aside, he sprung up rang for his valet, and ordered his valise packed end horses put to the carriage. In twenty more minutes he bad reached the railway station just as the cars were about to start, and in three hours ho was nt Hvdi Hall and standi in the presence of Estelle she looking so beautiful and happy 1 With the old chivibic enthusiasm of devotion, be dropped, at once, upon his knee, and raised her band to his, saying 'For four years I have hoped and waited for one word from you, aud at last, beloved, you have written and I am at your feet, as I said, with an unchanged heart 1' 'But she said, deeply blushine, while she held both bunds to raise lino, 'I, my lord, have not nn unchanged heart for longer than four years I have loved you more than woman's tongue may teil and never more, ihan at Ihe hour in which we bade farewell, as I bought, forever 'I know it, beloved! knew it then knew it always! 1 never doubted ill Could I deceived in Ihe dear hert of the woman I loved No nnd that was the secrcct of my patience he replied, taking his sent on the Sufa by her side 'And yet you never inquired nnd do not even now inquire, why, without explanation and without hope, I sent you from my presence, and why now, without apparent reason, I summon you back she said, as a shade of the old sad ness I' ll upon her beautiful face. 'Your motives, dearest, were, and fire your own.

Not until your spirit moves you to do so, shall you give them lo rue! 1 have full confidence In you, beautiful 'Confidence! oh my God she excluimed in a low, deep, thrilling voice. 'Whv, what is the matter, dearest She iooked up suddenly' smile of worshipping love, breaking like suullght over her dark face, nnd said 'Nothing, nothing, my lord but that nil your thoughts and feelings are so elevated beyond your poor Exile's I And yet she would almost choose it su for could she be au angel, she would wish you to be something far higher a gudl' 'Sweet en thu si nut! moderate your aspiration, nr the world and its people, will disappoint you! 1j not nn idolater; worship only God, my Stella. Such was their meeting Yet, occasionally, throughout Iho interview, a Hidden shadow lilie the recurrence of a painful thought, would full upon her bright face aud then pass as it came, They were engaged, nnd within few days the marriage was announced to tuke place on the first of May. But it was observed by Ihe nearest friends of the bride, that from the day of her betrothal, her epirits bad been marked by the strangest fluctuations. Sometimes with her beautiful dark luce illumined with a deep, still, almost re-lig-'ous joy, she moved about, as It were, on 'winged or sat brooding iu a happy trance.

At other times she fell into deep gloom and anxiety, a9 inexplicable as it was alarming to her friends, who greatly feared her relapse into the deep melancholy that had so long overshadowed her, and that, they had growu to dread, as a serious constitutional malady. But they hoped everything from her approaching mar-ringowilh Ihe man she loved. Lord Moutressur observed with the deepest interest Ihe uncertain moods of his betrothed but with Ihe high toned sentiments that distinguish 1 liiin. refraiued from inquiring, and awaited her voluntary rev-elutions. At lust the first of May, the marriage day, upon wbfch I have presented the parties lo the render, arrived, and all the hiut ton, ns 1 said, were gathered at the Hail or at the Church to do honor tu the solemnities.

And the expectant, bride, in her bridnl robe and veil, wuitel within her boudoir the errivul of the bridegroom, whom she had summoned to a private interview before they should proceed to Ihe church. She id ni long to wait. He fill, quiet, unostentatious manner, she engaged in works of benevolence among the villagers and the tenantry. And ber father, Imping much from this employment, her full lilierty of action, and smiled to see that she seemed lest pensive than before. At the beginning of the parliamentarfterm, the family went up lo London.

And it wns here in her second season in town that Estelle formed the acquaintance of Lord Montressor, a youni nobleman but lately acced fd to his titles and estates, but already known as a man of the must high toned moral and intellectual excellence, as a righteous, as well as a rising statesman, and as one, who in the event of a change of ministry would be likely te fill a high official position ia His majesty's cabinet. Aside fioin the glare of rank aud wealth and power, Charles Montressor wai a glorious sped men of the Creator's workmanship. Above the average standard of height among his coun'ry-inen, broad shouldered and deep chested, with a noble head, and a face full of wisdom and goodness, his appearance truly indicated the warm benevolence, clear intelligence, and pure spirit of Ihe man. His presence soon inspired Estells with any other that approached her. He drew nearer to her than any other had been permitted to come he crossed the magic circle of her Isolation, and conversed with her asnootherhad been allowed to do.

The world looked and said that the beautiful Stella hud last met her master aud was conquered. At this stage of affairs. Hie parliamentary term being over, Sir Parte Morrelle and bis family left London for Hyde Hall, Lord Montressor asked and received permission to follow them, and in less than a mouth availed himself ot the privilege to do so. Thus it was in the bom other ancestors, after bar ing obtuined the curdlul sanction her parents, and believing himself of the affections of their daughter. Lord Montressor offered his heart and hand to the lovely Estelle, and was to his profound astonishment instantly and firmly rejected! In thus rejecting his suit, she wept long and bitterly, praying Ins forgiveness that the happiness she bad experienced and exhibited in bis society should have betrayed him into making this declaration, and beseeching him never to renew his suit but to leave and forget her.

There was something in the tone of her refu sal which confirmed and deepened his previous conviction that even in rejecting him she loved But with his high toned sentiments be would not, in the least decree presume upon that knowledge. Taking her hand with deferential tenderness, he said Stella 1 a man never but once, in his wliule existence, loves a woman as I love you 1 1 will not inquire the causeof the rejection, which you have certainly a right to make without assigning any reason for the act. And after having received this repulse, I may not iu honor dis tt ess you by a renewal of my suit. But, this, in parting 1 must say to you thut, though I go hence, I shall not go out of the reach of your friends I shall never address another woman so if ever in tho course of future weeks, or months, or years, however long, you mny think proper to review the decision of this evening, Stella, I implore you to let me know I Write but one word, and I will return to lay an unchanged heart at your feel Estelle was weeping too bitterly to 'Stella! will you promise to do this 'Lord Montressor, best and dearest friend I do not seek to bind yourself to one who can give you nothing in return I Try to think of the melancholy girl you have pitied and loved only as a thudow thut fell for a moment across the sunshine of your path, and then passed away for ever and so forget her 1' have pledged my honor never lo renew this suit, unless yuu reverse in my favor the sentence you have pronounced upon it; but, inspired by the deep and deathless love I bear you, and hoping ogninst I feel impelled to implore before leaving you, that, iu the event of a favorable chungn of sentiment or purpose towards me, you will not hesitate to give me leave to return.

It was the first of May, tlto marriage day of the Viscount Moutressur of Mont rtssor Castle, Dorsetshire, and Estelle, only daughter and heiress of Sic-Parke Murelle, Hyde Hall, Devonshire. A glorious morning the cloudless blue sky smiled down upon the green hills and dewey vales and deep woods ol Devon and the park around the hall was all alive an I musical with the joyous songs of birds, and the merry iaugh-ter of young men and maidens gathering to celebrate their May-day festival, and to do honor to the marriage of their landlord's daughter. The elm shaded, winding avenue that led from the highway lo the bouse, was arched at each terminus by a mammoth wreath of flowers, and many were the carriages that pused under them on their way to assist at the wedding and these contained only the bridesmaids, and lite nearest fiiendi nnd relatives of the family, hose re laliouship or position gave them the light to attend the bride to church for a still more numerous party had been invited to meet her nt the altar. The villagers and tenants grouped about under the shade of the grand old trees, or wandering over thu greensward on either side the avenue, watched these equipages ns they rolled on, commenting as usual uu such occasions. 'Oh dear mel the weddijigers won't pass till nearly twelve I and here we are wait two mortal said ayoutig girl to the gamekeeper.

'Hush! my darling! look, here comes his Lordship's carriage, Itself, u-t assure as you're the prettiest lass in the country, It was Lord Montressor's carriage. Early that morning a note from his nfllinced bride had been put in his hn nils, summoning him to a private conference with her at the Hall, before they should proceed to the church, (Surprised and tilled with vague uneasiness, bis lurdihjp lost no time in obeying the behest. Wit- in the most secluded of her suite of richly furnished iipnrtmcnts nt the old Hull, half buried iu the depths of a eusliioiied chair, reclined tlie bride, expectant, in bridnl array. tdia was alone, her, attendants having, by her own desire, withdrawn. I Morelle or la belle Est Boau-tiful the- Midnight fctur' us, for her resplendent durk beauty, she wu9 poetically named was nt this time twenty-five yenrs of age, and more lovely than a poet's or un urtist's ideal.

Jlir form wus of medium height, and very Blender, though well-rounded, with a graceful head, over which fell rich masses of jet-black silken ringlets, shading a face of pure, pule olive complexion with largo mournful dark eyes, habitually veiled by the long, drooping lashes, and delicate, though full, curved lips, ever patiently closed as in Bilent resignation. The prevailing expression of her durk, brilliant countenance, was a profound melancholy. The announcement of Miss Morelle's approaching marriage with the Viscount Mon-tressor hud created a profound sensation in the fashionable i nd aristocratic circles. A peerless beauty, the only child and heiress of the oldest, wealtllie and haughtiest baronet in tho West of England, lier heart had been as much ho object of aspiration to the youthful and ardent, us her hand and fortune had been the end of desire to the mercenary aud ambitious. At the early age of seven years, Estelle bud been placed at one of the first class female iu-elitutioiis ol learning at Paris, then as now, considered among the very best of their kind in the world, and there had been left to remain until her sixteenth year, when the sudden and calamitous breaking up of the institution, and her own severe illness, had occasioned her removal.

illnesa had been attended with marked changes in Ihe coiutitulioa and temperanunt vf the young girl. Estelle, previously the most careless, light hearted mid capiieious of children, left her chamber uf convalescence a subdued, thoughtful, melancholy woman 1 The laughing lips of gill-hood closed iu patient sadness; the sparkling eyes sheathed their beams under shadowy lashes, now seldom lilted; the silvery, elastic voice, sank into deep and thrilling torus; the free glad motions were measured and controlled She never entered another school, but completed her education under the best masters, at home. To dissipate what was considered a transient melancholy, her parents traveled with her over Kurope, pausing at each capital and chief town, to show her all that was interesting and instructive. But though their daughter repaid their attentions with the sweetest gratitude, aud obeyed them with the gentlest docility, she showed no interest in the passing scenes, Aud though everywhere her extreme beauty and sweetness of disposition, nut less than her fortune and position, drew around her many friends aud admirers, Estelle remained alone in her isolated thoughts and feelings, Every most distinguished physician in Europe had beeu consulted upon her cuse, aud the result uf their wisdom wus a decision that this melancholy was not the effect of ill-health, slill less of secret sorrow, but thnt it was a consiitullonr.l phase that would probably pass away with maturer years. They returned to England, presented- their daughter at court, and introduced her into all the gaieties of fashionable lite But with tio happy effect upon the spirits of Estelle, who remained profoundly unmoved amid the uvit that greeted her dtbut.

Her picturesque beauty was the theme of all (ungues her mournful glanco was fascinating her deep tones thrilling her touch magnetic; all felt her power, yet she who could move all other, remained unimpressed, bhe who sought no conquests, fur that very reason perhaps, made uiuny. A peer and two cuiutuoners, iu succession, laid their fortunes at her feet, and were in turn kindly and firmly rejected.

'I'lio Indian Hater. We copy the following account of Col. John Moredoek, the Indian lighter, from Herman Melville's latest woik, Tue Confidence just published by Din. Edwards Though John ws not an Indian hater par excellence, yet lie cherished a kind of sentiment towards the red man, and in that decree, end so acted out Ins sentiment us sutlieiently to merit (lie tribute rendered to his memory. John iredouk was the ion of a woman, married tliricH, and thrive svidowed liy toiuuhawk.

The three suueessive liubunds i thii woman bad been piunvern, and with Ihom the liml wandered from wilJni'ifSi to wildernea, always on the frontier. With nine children, she at last fuuud lierelf nt a clearing, alterwnrdi Vinceniiei, There she lined colony about to remove to the new country of Illinois. On the eaiti-rn lide were tlin no let-tleuiente; but oa the went tide, the shore of Ihe Musii'iippi, there were, near the mouth of Ke-kaxkia, iuiiii old hamlets of I'Veiicli. To the vicinity of those hiiinlets, very innocent and plea-caut a uew Arcadia, Mrs. Moreduuk's party was destined fur thereabouts, among the they meant to lellle.

Other youn'aleu might have turned mourners; he turned avenger. His nerves were electrio wires sensitive but steel, lie was one who from self possession could be made neither to flimh nor pale. It it said when the tidings were (brought lii i he wus ashore, silting beneath a hemlock, eating bis dinner of venison and na the tidings were told him, alter the first start, lie kept on eating, but slowly and deliberately, chewing the wild newi with the wild meat, as it together turned to chyle, together should sinew linn to Ins intent. From that meal be rose an Indian hater. He rose, got his arms, prevailed upon tome comrades to join him, and without delay 8 til ted to discover who were the actual tranressorr.

They proved to belong to band of tweuly renegades from various tribes, outlaws even among Indians, and who bad formed themselves into a marauding crew. Ko opportunity for action being at the time presented, he dismissed his friends told them to go home, thanking thctn, and saying be would ask their aid at some future day. Fur upwurda oi a year, alone in the wilds, he watch-J the crew. Once, what he thought a favorable chance having ocourred it being mid winter and the savages encamped apparently to remain so bo anew mustered Ins friends and marched ngninst them but getting wind of his coming the enemy Ikd, and in such pnnio that everything was left behind but their weapons.

pens'l upon two subsequent occasions, 'the next year he sought them at the head of a party pledged to serve hnu for forty days. At last the hour caiiie. It was on the iborcs of the Mississippi. From their covert Mordock and his men dimly descried the gang ol Cains In the red dusk of the evening, paddling over to a jungle island in midstream, there the more securely to lodge, for Mordock's retributive spirit in the wilderness spoke even to their trepidations now like the voice calling through the gardeu. Waiting until dead of night, the whites swam the river, towing after them a raft laden with their arms On landing, Mordock cut the fastenings of the enemy's canoes, and turning them with his own raft adrift, resolved that there should be neither escape for the Indians nnrnfe-ty, except in victory, for the- Victorious tlie whites were, but three of the Indians saved themselves by tuking to the stream.

Mordock's band lost nut a man, Three of the murderers survived. lie knew their uames and persons. In the ceurse of three yeurs each successively fell by his own bund. All were now dead, But this did not suffice. He made no avowal, but to kill Indians had become his passion.

As an athletic, he had few equals us it shot none In single uvmbnt, not to be beaten. Master of that, woodland emining enabling the adept to subsist where the tyro would perish, and expert in all those arts by which an enemy is pursued for weeks, perhaps months, without once suspecting it, he kept to lie forest, The solitary Indian that met him died, When murder was described, he would either secretly pursue their track for some chance to strike at least one blow or if while thus engaged, himself was discovered, he would elude I hem by superior skill. Many years he spent thus and though after a time he was, in ft degree, restored to the ordinary life of the egion, and period, yet it is believed that John Muredock never let pats an opportunity I)f quenching an Indian. Sins of commission in that kind may bare been his, but lie had none of omission. It were to err to suppose that this gentleman was naturally ferocious, or peculiarly possessed of those qualities which uuhelped by provoca COUHT, KINDS Woodward rcainat Sunme! Whitney, Patikk O'Dunnell and Ilridvct his wife, and others.

The Skcret of Eloqiiknck.

In this country and in this age, public speaking is more in requisition than ever before, or iu any other country end on a far greater variety of topics. There is pleading nt the bar, which requires one kind of eloquence, and preaching in the pulpit, that needs another. There is stump fpeaking often the most immediately e'fective of any, and sci entitle lecturing, which ought to be cold and clear without addressing tlie passions. In nil of these and many other pursuits, while much will depend on what is said, almost if not q' lte as much will turn upon Aois it is said. Proper words and a good delivery is often worth thousands a yenr to a man.

And yet, in nine cases out of ten, Ihe most successful orators are made by nature without the aid ef training. Often study spoils a delivery instead of improving il. Why is this I There wus Patrick Henry. The accounts of his successes and their effects are almost fabulous. There is et this monunt a young man named Spurgeon, not twtuty five years of age, who draws the largest crowds in London aiuue White-field.

He wus an usher in a country school, and without any culture for his profession, He has nothing to recommend him in his person. It is said lie is ignorant and funulical, but sincere; and his published sermons have uo originality of thought The same may Lie said of those of Whitttield. But say what we please that is eloquence which curries its point. The man who diuws lurge crowils'and interests them in sermons, so thiit thirty thousand respectable people rush together on the announcement that lie is going to txpound a text, which Ihcy mny huve heard preached from twenty times before, that niHii must have eloquence of some kind, must touch the heart of nuu in many places.

A Fable. A young man once picked up a sovereign lyU'g in the road. Kver afterwards as he walked along he kept his eyes fixed steadily upon the grouud, in hopes to find another. And in the course of a long life he did pick up at different times, a goodly number of coins, gold and silver. Hut all these yesra, while lie wns looking for them, he saw not the heavons were bright above him, nnd nature beautilul around.

He never once his eyei to look up from the mud and filth in which besought the treasure; and when be died a null old-man lie only knew this fair earth of ours as a dir'y rosd in which to pick up money as yu walk slung) who quickly responded lo her slightel inclination, Immediately obeyed her cull. Yet when she heard his firm elastic step approaching, God have mercy on the prayed, and covered her ftee with her bunds. He entered, unannounced, end saying, 'My beautiful Stella! I am lieie, you perceive, by your commands She dropped he bunds, and revealing a face pale with misery, spoke in a thrilling, deep, itn passioned tone You nre here by my mpplicuiiuii, my lord, I have no iijht lo command 'We will waive that! What is your will, my dearest Stella 'My prayer, my lord is first, for your forgiven Korgivenett mj Stella Ay my dear lord you lee before you a penitent and a supplicant, who may suun be something (h more My Stella wlmt mean you Come to the window, Lord she said, rising nnd preceding him. 'Look she continued, putting aside tho rose colored hangings, and revealing a view of the park below, 1 i a with its restless multitude. 'What are these people waiting for, my lordi' What are they watting for, my Stella? fur that, for which I also wait, with how much nioro impatience' he answered while a deep flush of love and joy, for an instant, supplanted the anxiety on his face.

'They wait to sco bride pass, whore a bride umy novcr go she Raid iu a solemn voice. 'Stella! great Heaven! what say yon bo exclaimed, gazing on her with profound astonishment. That the bride (hey expect is unworthy to stand before God's holy ultur beside Lord wort by, Stella! Jfv.it unworthy, my lord she said, dropping her urms, and dropping her head in an attitudo of the deepest misery. I should have made this confession long bl'o, Lord Mont lessor; but I have deceived you 1 have deceived you 'in what respect, Stellaf My God It cannot be! No, it cannot be! thut Kilo betrothed to me, you do nut love lore you! Vh! my dear hrd? feho her smiling lips parted to speak when as if a sudden memory and warning had gripped her Viry heart she uttered a low, sharp cry, turned paler than before, and lliuo said no! my Lord! Stella cannot even give you that I She is poorer than tho poorest, in Ktftstoyonl She can only pray that you may forget her and be happy, llu looked profoundly disappointed and troubled. But soon mastering his despondency he said hopefully Well, dearest Stella, although you reject me without apparent reason, and refuse to give me the slightest promise or the most distant hope, yet I repeat should you in Iho long future, change your purpose, nnd write to me one word I will lia'teu to lay at your feet an unchanged heart (rood bye! God be with and raising her hand, he bowed over it, pressed it to his lips, turned and left the rnntii.

Soma moments after Lady Murelle, who came to seek and congratulate her daughter upon what she imagined tube the only possible result of the interview found Estelle lying in a swoon upon the floor I It was followed by a long und terrible illness, terminating in a tediously-protracted convalescence. The town sea son was at hand lefore Estelle was able to reenter society. They went up to London, and onoe more the 'star of beauty' arose upon its world, And though the cloud upon her life settled darker and heavier, duy by day, ihe was more followed, flattered and cuurted than before. Thus three years bad passed away, when one morning, while the farndy, then occupying their town home iu Berkely Square, were seated at a late breakfast, and Sir Parke was engaged in reading uloudfron Ihe Ttondon Timet, an account of the tuning of tlie F.eneh Snip he Vuo D' Anjou wrecked ihe coast of Algiert Estelle xitte ed a low cry and taijk fainting rum teat. This aliavk was not, as the other had been, followed by illnesi on the contrary, from that duy, the cloud seemed lilted from head, and even those who hud mast iidmired her face in its shadow, were enchanted to see how brilliant was her beauty in its moihioe! Her health.
