Near the flourishing village of St. Charles rears one of these majestic bluf% whichl so frequently are found onl the banks of Fox river, and which aid so iiuach to the beaity an2(d seenm cry of its silver waters. I, is sitiated a little soith or. east of the villhge. Aling its summit are several :anieiat iaaounaads; which havel probably, for lges, beet the burial places of the niatives, aand onte recently has been chosent is the resting Cplace for t he dead of' lais village and iiamediate vi einity. The cast and south side are wa-aed by a small broo1k. called the Cedar or Illuf'ru::; while, .1aong its base, at, the west, rolls the river in it,-s lig iad silen at ganuadear, its sha'ores still nitouched by the hand of civ ilized aaian; oil the east alnd souath east, rises the IctautifuIlly rolling pra irie, dotted here and there with the fie-hls of the emaligriant settlea. The beautty of the sCenlery from this pouit is suchI I hat the travellers w ho have gazed with ,delight at other blulTs and polit,. oaa the river, are struck with uncII lomo interest' ol beholding this spot; and, on leaving it, often turn and liaigea still, as if ciehanted. to gaze at its beauties. It is called the "Spirit Bldf," aand a tide is told of it ofso nuch iliterest, that. many a heaat is made sad at its recital. For it number of years no liadian las beeii seCn to Iass over its suamrit; but, by a Cir euitois path, all g'o round it, for a lark eyed liadiani in.1id, they say. is seei to h.ver aouid it.-Some for ty-live Years ago, there was, in the Iatai6n Lot the P1ottowaitmics. an aged chief, w% h0se 11:1aim was Wavish kee, and who4) was, in 18"t1, sti;l reniember ed by lie old iadian traders at. Chica g, aand other points on that beauti hal lake. It was- iai the time11 of this Chief ,that one of the iost nelaa choly transact ions that. ever ocecurred tiianljlg tILe '(attowatamv mition took place ia ar this blull.' Ononibidga, the only dataghter of- \Vatyishke.-, was dear to her parents and the boaast of her tribe. uontrary to tile wishes of her family she ftramed an aident at tta:himent to a yotig hunter of her tribe, and oane whom(111 she knaew to be stronaagly attached to her. But. when a-ked ih marilaga e of her par Cts, he was refused, and likewise to learn that her daughter was intended by them fur another, a young brave of distinction. The latter had acquired at Imic by deeds of valor rendered his ation, :and the imy captive w hites he had tokenm :loing thu saores of' Ltike Erie, and even amlong the nuationr of the Saenceas. At tie tmetntion of the yong hunter wishing Ononibdga in matrriage, her family pressed the brave to urge his suit withi her, whicha he did with ardor aand unaceasinag as siduityv, but she refissed himt and persisted int her prefereance for the fyouang hlunter. . I the comm aendations of her fuiends in farm (of thle brave, she replied that she had choseni one after' her owna mind--one who wonl spenmd his life with her; and by his profession, wvouldh provide for' her suabsistencee, anid secuare her comiifoat and hapipintess; hut, if' she aecepted the bavae, lie would be constantly bent on soame deed of daring exploit, he woutld be absent, froam her, exposing himaself to dzangeir, and perhaaps death, on sonic distatt battle field, leaving~ her a wid ow, to tread atlonte the paith of' this uinfeelinig wvorld. Ononibidga's ex. poistuiltains wer'e oif no avail with her fiamtily or friends. They, at lengthI, by stratagem and some other means, succeeded in driving the y'oung hunter to somet distantt land, from which lie never returned; or att least, w~as never more sceen among his tribe; nad then, by harsh mieans, beganU to compel ner to aecept for her husband the brave, whom they had chosen. But, to ali her expostulationts and -assertions that she could never love any othier buat hor young hunter, and, that rather' than have the bravo whom she so mnucht dis liked, she would live alone in the depths of the solitary forest, they paid no re gard. Ononiibidga, to this time, had been the joy and delight, of her famm ily, and been indulged more tihan was ustual for the females of'her tribe. 11er brother had expressed a wish that she might, if possible, be persuaded, rath er than comrpelled to-aiccept thep brave r r a hlnlmsd. In oi der to remove some of her objectiois, they took measures to make some provisionI for her future maintainance arid presented to the brave all that in their simple Mode of living, an lIndian could desirc. At about this time at party was foimed to go to the Red Pipe Stone, on the slires of the Mississippi, above the fills of St. A ltholny, to procure some of the ebarmed stone for their pipes. The parents and brothers of Onoti bidga were of the party, and she her self was also one with them. It was ol theii assembI'Rng t this blu, pre vious to their departure. that they of ferred their presents to t lie brave. En courged by these, lie again renewed his suit, but was, as helretofore, unsue. censil.-I ler family and friends, allgry at 'what they supposed unjus tifiable (bstinacy on her part, reimon strated severely, and even used threats to coipel her to obedience. "W ell, then," said Onlonididiga, "you have left. mne no hope. I told You I did nt love him. and that, I woull not live witi him. I now with to re.

Would yoU h&,-. me joyfiul when my hunter is fhariwayv?" Bit she could not reprds her passion even hert, and beftr,,'othe'rs could speak, she resumed: "What!

But soon 3 ou shall hav e eause to regret your cotrse.1 Sai3ng this, she wltadrew, anid while they were busy ill makinRg piepatrati -ns far the festival, (determined upon uniting her with tle brav e that (ay.) site wound her way to the top of tlhe blufi and cal ilig t o hor friends, addressed them thus: "Yua Iliouallght to compel me, but you shall see how certain I can def-at your phims."

"It is in vain. You are te oo late," she replied, as she pallsed a monjent on the brink of the precipice. Then, with a mighty bound, she plunged into the river; and before her frieids could reach the spot, its chrs-. tal waters had closed over her forever. Such was the story told me by an aged indian in 183t. And while tel ling it the stithiiers of his age ihorsook his Ilibs alnd the feeling of youth agalin. renewed his age, while the tears trick led downi his furrowed cheek. Anad lhe was the beloved youing hutiertci who haid on1ce moire and fihr his last timei, retutrtned to behol ad the spot where onice had trod the last steps of his Otnnibidga. A Short Story.

I heard the hitim( of a spinning wheel, anu another moment, one of the sweetest rosiest faces I ever beheld looked out the door. It *as Lucy Wallis, t'he pretty daughter of the Ugly Man! Saluting us modestly, she a..ked us in-and to be seated-and resumed her work. There are a few more lovely girls than Lucy. Ini her moist blue eves was a blended expres sion of mirthfuhiess andl(] something imre tender, that went into your hear- without ever asking leave Clad im a home-spun frock, coarse, but. tatefulness in its colors and adjust ment. And oh! how brilliant!y spot less-her lingers tipped with the blue of the indigo tub-her little feet in huek skin moccasins-she plied her task idtiustriously; now with Jin arch tWss, shaking into place her rich aub tirn hair; mal now, with a bound forward gracef'ully catching the thread tha had slipped from her lingers. Sweet voiced, too, was Lucy Wallis, as she stood at her wheel, spinnitg two threads. One oIfeePtton onl her spindle, and the other of gossip with my excel lent and ltqiiacious friend Dick M'Coy. Plague take the girl! She has made me forgot her ugly flther! Mr. Wal lis atid his wife were frtom honte when we got there-havitng been otn a vis. it to a sick neighbor-but in half an hour thev returned. "Thar they coime!" said Dick, as lie heard voices outside the cabin. "take a seat and don't be scared!' "You've never seen daddy, have you squire?" she asked, slightly cul. oring and pouting. "Never have-always had a curios ity," but tite wounded expression (f the girl stopped me, and in anoth ei mument the ugly man was be lihre mne.

His mouth-ruby red, looked as if it had been kicked very lately by a rough shod mule, after having been origilt ally made by goiging a hole in his hce with a iail grab! The tout en semlile was horrible, unaspeakable ugly. "So you've come to see the ugly man, have you Squire?" I've heard of you before. You're the man that took the sense of this couint ry, last. I was in Georgey, then. Well, you're tiiglty welcome. Old woman, fly round. g't something for the Squire and Dick to eat. Lu. y, hain't you lit) fresh aiggs aboit?"

Te old lady did "fly around" ond Lucy got the "aiggs," and betwe en 1 thiei they got an excellent supper.

After a whif or two, lie begait: "It's no tuse argif'yin in the matter -l nam the ugliest mnan now on top of the earth. Tfhar's niary nurther like mie! I am a crotwd by myself'. I allers was.

Lucy told her father h'e was "too bad, and that he knew it wa~s no such thing," but the old inan told her she was at "sassy wench, and to .hold her tongute." "Yes," ho continued, "it's s'>; rI'e not seen my face in forty years, but then'I knows how it looks," '.

"Its no use,'' put in Lucv, "to be running one's own self down that way, daddy, it ain't right." "Runnin down!

As he said this old Bill look ed at ine and sicceeded in covering the ball of his left eye, by way of ia wink. Lucy said no more. The old man continued: "Well hard as I tlbught it'ud be to get a wife, fust thing I knowed, I had Sally, here, and she is, or was, a. pretty as any of tnem." Old Mrs. Wallis knited convulsive ly and coughed slightly. "llowever, she never kissed me afore we was married and it was a long tine arter alre she did. The way of it was, we had an old one. horned cow, mighty unnery (ordina ry) lookin', old as tile north star, and poor as a black snake. One day I weit out to the lot--" "Daddy, I wouldn't tell that," said Lucy in a peisuasive tone. "ianied ef I don't though-it's true. and ef you don't keep still, I'll se*nd for liuzLnan to hold -you quict in the cmrner."
