LFrom the Sp'artanburg Herald.] GLENNI PRING9 DIVERED; OR, THE LOST AMULET. PART III. (CONTINUED.) Leading me along the*banks of the stream, we soon rcmp, to a gentle eminence tvb4 h r r"harks of an ancient.lodge n'ow eqtirely gone. At the foot gf -the lill there burst out from the rocks a bold and pleasant spring, and we made preparatio'ns for the nigbt. After we bad taken our meal, and Canachugh had fillea his pipe with tobacco, with which he had sup plied himself on his ~visit tolthe frontier,tand neiil!K ~yer faittigrsource of comfort to the Indian as well a do-th~e whbite man, he resumed the conversa "Enoree," said he, "was a gr,eat comfort to *ehafter theleat#of her mother. She assistgn in the order iind arran'gement'of my lodge and the preparation of my medicine. She was my constant companion, and often have we trav'eled thbe trail v;hich :Ighave j st followed. 'Fiv e. stimmerk ago 5e were at the lodge, and at the med icine spring.. - sno, said he, intently gazing at the v,olyme of culieaintg frinhis pipe, uTtsymggmerseif upon my departure on a short hunting excursion. I took leave of her tenderly and dived into the woods where I had seen a noble buck grazing upon a neighboring bill. IHe was as cunning as a Muskogee, and it was a long time before I could get him. Finally I was successful, but I was gone longer than I intended. Placing him on my shoulder II started for the lodge and when I got there Enoree could no where be found. 1 called for her but no answer came back, but wheall of.the cowardly, wolf, Muskogeg!;Then night ca.me.mbrtl en o0xe an d in all probability, ]k.bad lost the opportunity of finding her. I did not know whether she had went towards the rising or the setting of the sun, and i c'ould do nothing until morning. Lang before the sun was up, I arose, and .com menced the,jearch at the door' of. the lodge, circling around4 it, making each circle wider and wider until 1 had passed over every foot of the ground, I con tinued the search until the even ing star appeared adTh~tlir~po diedc within me. i look'ed upon my Youoree as lost, anid I felt as if L wexfe a n olJd.Aee 90eh Abe clingirrg viae .had supported and upeld and was now ready to fall. I left the lodge for the frontier, and I was' only wait ing for tho great Sgirit to take me away. Bt I was still rest less, an&. yearned to see my home agajain, and w~hen I arrived 'at the place my lGst child was quietly watching for mre. LMas -,. -we-1d and fell upon her neck, The Great Spirit had guided me. Enoree was emacia ted, and pale, and trembled with emotion. and was-wellnigh over come, and for a long time hov ered between life and death, but the Great Spirit restored her and I was happy again. I did not ask her nor did she allude to her absenoc, I was too happy she had returned. But my happiness did notlast long. When four moonshad come and gone, and when the leaves were falling like the mist of the early morning she melted away again, and I could not tell where she had gone until I dis covered in the lodge this beauti ful amulet, which J have ever since worn next to my heart. No eyes but mine have ever seen it* since it was found, but I will show to the pale face brother the frozen life of his lost sister," at the same time holding out to me the pouch he had so constantly worn.. I took it from his hand and opened 'it, it was a beautiful piece of white coral, and in its whiteness and purity it looked, indeed, like the congealed breath of innocence. Handing it back to him to replace it upon its resting place he resumed his narrative. "I found it,": said he, "in the middle of the lodge, upon it was an arrow head of the Muskogeelb wolf! coward! robber ! and a full ripe muscadine. 1 read the his tory as clearly as the white man can the letters upon his pa per. Enoree had gone. to the Muskogee's wolf! cowards! rob bers! She bad deserted rbi coun try and her tribe. My chifd was forever lost to me. I searched for her no more. I kept this trinket about me as the life of my daugh. ter, and which 'I want buried with me, but I cast as far as I could send the arrow of the Mus kogee, wolf, coward, robber, and my beart was barren ntil 1 found my pale face son." Canachugh then relapsed into his accustomed regerie. Not wish ing to disturb him I stole away andihpin mny ro$e around me surrendered myself to sleep. In the morning I was awoke by him. He look edas if though he had not closed his eyes, but he said: S"Let CanachWgh show his pale face son the grave of his mother." He took me to a mound of stones near by and -after we had with conjugal and filial reverence placed upon it some additional stones we silently left to make prepara tion for continuing our journey. When we reached the lodge, we found that I had not been provi dent in s iiongan{e. as Cana c n~ rd lPn i h :Qn, and earlyte neemeroing be'*%nt out to the spring where the deer were in the habit of resorting to slake their thirst, and where many an antlered buck had fallen at his hands. He soon met with an opportunity. A magnificent monarch stealthily approached The spring. I h'eard the sharp crack of the rifle and on going to the place saw in thle distanee y2 struggl4e between the Ilndian and the deer. Tie was only wounded, and Canachugh had left his bunt ing knife and could .or.l.y worry without dispatching the buek. It .was a terrific struggle. When at bay, the buck is no mean antago nist, and it called into play all'the strength and agilityof thefodian. [At lenigth .L came to.his assistance and we dispatobed him, and Can a chugh placed hrim upon his shQul 'ers and cari-ied'hira to the lodge. As he thr.w himn down upon the ground I saw that the beautifuP amulet which he had so con stantly worn and of which he had given me the history was gone. I said to him: "My father has lost his -amulet," pointing to the place where it had hung. He placed his hands upon his breast to satis fy himself that it was gons, and immediately started to the theatre of the struggle with the deer, but failed to find it. The deer de manding our 'attention, weo re tuned to the lodge,., and after dressing it and placing its hams over a fire to dry, ,we again re sumed. our search for the lost treasure. -'The leaves were rapidly falling, and every moment lessened night approached we returned again to the lodge. In the morning Canachugh waked me up from my sleep and said: "Cana'chugh has had a vision." "He thought he was at the door of his - lodge, looking off to wards the Muskogee 'country. FEverything looked 4s -blck 4a night. Graduatly d' rhy -of -fight appeared in the direction in which he was looking, It became brigbter and, brighter, twhile on each side the darkness appeared the more profound. Far doivn in this vista he could see the'trees and the hill tops graduaily. Pecoming. more dis tinct., but as they bccame plain they .seemeq p ppt away as others far in ad=ac. came into view to melt away in their turn until he ebuld see far away in the distance, the edre of the sea. iHe looked with wandering and admiring gaze, on this stpIngp vision and it seemed as if he could even hear the roar of the ocean. While ho was looking he saw a woman standing upon the edge of the sea lookir.g far away into its bosom. she then turned siddenlyargund fa4ing th vista through which he was look ing and he recognized the form and features of his lost Enoree. The recognition was mutaal, and holding up in one of her hnds the lost coral, with the other she beckoned him toher, and in his struggle to go, he was 9,Wa kened and found himself standing upright in the middle of th6 Iddge with a -brigbt lightglowing from the rekindling of the sr4ouldering fire. The vision had fled but be could sle6rii m're'l Said he, "we must. go to the edge of the-sea and we iWll' nweev our Enorce." His impressions were so strong, and being myself nothing -averse to mingling again in civilized;f-e, I threw no, bMacle in hi?lwav." Packing up C.hotie again, we om menced our march, andlin due time without acci dents apart from the new and wonderful country through which we passed we reached the town of Charlestown There I found dispatches awaiting me which informed me tbat m father and brother were both dead, and that my affairs demand ed attention, answers to which had been returned*tbat I was sup posed to be dead or in the hands of the savages. No time there-' fore was to be lost, and while I was considering what I should do, Canachugh burst'into my apart ment leading by the hand a most beautiful Indian woman, and she was leading a little Indian boy ap parently about three or four years of=age, and behind them ivas a noble looking Muskogee, her hus band, and her little boy Osceola. The thought flashed into my mind that they should go with me to England, I broke it to Can cbugb and aftei'some-eonference with his new found family, it was agreed. to, and in a short time we all, with little Chotio, w th bosom of the ocean o - the, old world. During the voyage' I learned froi the Indians that Oscbolah ei usband, had captnred her in one of his marauding expedlitionis ~among ::the Cherokees and being so profoundly impressed with her b olvlie, ~ Ive(4if possible to make her his wife. Escaping blI danger of reeapture e arried4her to his tribie and his home on the coast of Florida. He had to conteond-against prejudice of tribb,1 ande bereditary emty, but the sameTd story of the one wooing and the other, repelling occurred betw~ een them. it was over again the case of Hunch back and his cousin Annie, ab orrence, tolerande and love, a se quence not uncommon or unnat ural. "Vice is a monster ofeso frightful mien, As, to be hated, needs butjto be seen, Yet seen too oft, we become familiar with her, face We first endur@, then pity, then ernrce.~ Tihis was the consulmmation., But after a time Enoree sickened and pined to see her home,-and drink from the spring of her childhood. Osceola accompanied her as far as he dared, and mak ahoals on the .Bsnoree at the full moon, when the leaves were fall? ing, he left her to find her way to her native lodge. The subsequent events Canachugh has detailed. And now I have but little else to tell. We reached England af ter a charming voyage. I built a .lodge for i,y Indians in the deep recesses of a beautifnl parkon my estate, as their iode of life re quired. In the course of time both Enoree and Os~eola had died leaving my young friend Osceolia all aloae.,, As .timeapkssed the Great pirit .sunmoned the medicine man, wii he saw, that his end was nigh.hoicalled Osceol_t%,his bedside, and waving all others from the lodge, he ws, alone Witl him for a long time and.wben Osceola left him his great spirit had departed. What occurred between the two no one ever knew, but from the restles 4esirp pf Osceola -to ret4q 'q the new world I supposed this was the subject of their conference. Fail ing to prevail upon Oceola.to re ruain in England and adopt the hab its ofcivilization, I filledd,him with arms and other necessitips of Jn 4i4n lji and presenting him wit h Chotie sent them to Charlestown. When the vessel returned, my correspoadent informed me, that in a few hours after he reached thp pity, drp hadopped the habili ments of civilized life and was on his way with a party of Musko. gees to their nation, and I beard from him no more. LANoASTER. In the year 18$7, the present improvements at Glenn 'Spriigs were'commenced, and in the nekt year this celebrated watering place was thsown open to the pub lie, and hundreds and hundreds, have availed the-dsetves of its healing waters, ttas fulfilling.the predictions of Lanachugh, the medicine man .of the preceed.ing narrative 'e :Du-rig the san'ie time that the busy ~ lum of preparation at Glenn Springs, a frightful India;n war was raging in Florida. A brave and gallant indian Chief ad defied all the effoi-ts of the government, of the United States for the purpose of re moving his little band beyond the Mississippi. He resolved not to leave the homes of his fathers. After all .efforts were exhausted by the officer in command he sent to the chief a flag of truce to sum mon him to a conference. He met the United States by its offic.ers in council, undw' a flag of truce, and while une its folds henwas most treacherously captured and sent t&oit Moultrie in Charles ton harbor, and there confined. His proud spirit chafed at this treachery and confinement and it wore his life away. Near a sally port in th.e rear of the Fort is a simple marble slab enclosed with a neat iron railing bearing the following inscription. The re'aders of"this narrative will recognize the great-grand.son of Canachugh the .juedicine man of the Cherokees as the patriotic warrior : OSCEOL A; PATRtOT AND WARRIOR, DIED AT FORT MOULTitIE Janary 30thb, 1838. -(THE END.

Berome's Great Bronze Statue-The Art Gal leries of the Exposition-Artist Life in Paris--The Grand Opera-An Artist's Fate. At. last the art. galleries of the main bui!ding may be said-to be substantially finished, but I regret to add that the grand.-palace of the Trocadero, from which so much was promised, is so far only a mon ument of that "vaulting ambition which overleaps itself and falls on the other side." One solitary worL of art graces the noble vestibule pf tha palace which, we all supposed, was to contain an exposition of the I Assewbled genius of the world The work I speak of is Waiting for the Signal, in bronze, by Gerome, and few nobler works of art are to be found in the entire Exposition, The scene is th *oian arena; a gladiator has fallen in the combat and his victorious adversary stands over him with uplifted sword to give the final blow; the one who has fallen raies -p his bead and hands with an imploring look of mortal agony and fear. The work is noble, and worthy of the great artist; but, as I said before, the artugalleries of the main buildipg are finished, and pow, from ~the banks of the Seine to the Ecole Militaire, it is one continued art iongress of nations. France oc cupies considerably more than one half - of the entire ground; and, on the whole, the exhibition (consider ing , the occasibn) is far from 2atis factory, while there are some works of superlative genius ; respectable mediocrity .prevails, and the pleas ure which the,,visitor would other.: wise experience, is mirred - by a gross vulgarity and indelicacy, as shocking as it is disgusting. I do. 'not now allude particularly to the gieat nu~mbers of nude figures that offend the eye at every turn, so much as the gross sensualism, which is calculated to brutalise and de grade instead of elevating and re fining ; some of the interpretations of French art are an invincible ar gument in the hands of those who believe 'in the doctrine of total de pravity. Old worn and hackneyed as I am ; forced, by the necessities of my profession, into frequent dis reputable associations, I confess I never -pass tIirough this portion of the Expositien without a feeling of humiliation and burning shame at the vulgar degradation of a noble art, which slmtid administer in its highest interpretation to the pu rest and holiest gratification known to the 'mins1 of man. I know that there are plenty of these traveled Solons and would be critics, male and female, who esteem it an es pecial merit that they have arrived at a condition of thorough and bru talized insensibility, and they talk le'arnedly about the necesiities of art ; but if you want to know what art is, in its highest, its noblest and holiest interpretation, go into the Austrian Department, which is one of the grandest and purest in the entire Exposition, there while there is%verything to inspire and'elevate, there is nothing t6 offend or de grade. The English, American and Italian departments als'o share this gener~al commendation. I shall re turn't?o this subject at an early day, but I now want to say a word about the character of this great training school, for no sketch of Paris can be perfect without a knowledge of its art life and the methods by which i.t is pursued. ' Paris is full of young men and young women wL o have entered the race for fame, some of whom.stake, not only their bodies, but their souls on the doubtful result of the contest. A place in the royal galleries of the Louvre, or in the splendid collec tion of the Palais de ITndustr-ie, are the tempting prizes that lure th1em on; or,'if they are singers, the plaudits of the Italians or the thun dering vivas of the Grand Opera. They comie e 'from lappy homes in England and America and~ countless numbers of them perish in the race. They study in Germany and Ita ly, but Paris is the final Mecca to which they turn, and not one in a hundred is ever heard of after. No wonder that the poor moths who seek- distinctior. -pn the--yrie ?tage ae lured'on t6 r T,hedazzling legor of the GrandLOpeii-as no gp&allel i the. Wr a fasionable -opera night.the& ule vard de lOpera, which stretches away tow-ards the1 ileries, is all o,ne bla.e of glory'; electric lights flash in every direction, turning night almost into day; mounted chasseurs guard every crossing and every avenue, and soldiera, in splendid -.piform ljne the-pages and stand sentinel at the doors.. The building, which is the most rIdg@ I 4ilPN rlnatic strytur i-fULrope0I meric~a, seen i*6in-OitffoatV exceeds the rpost extravagant anticipations.when viewed from within. A broad mar ble staircase, white as the driven snow, leads to a magnificent vesti bule,. lined with immense looking glasses, set .in w%l and pillars of the Tkiest .porphyry and marble; the frescoes on the ceilings are beautiful beyond description, and on truning to the left or right you reach the passRge that leads to the Grand Foyer. The interior of this superb hal is all one blaze of gold, the shining walls of which flash and sparkle the rays of hundreds of bril liant lights. The ceilings are richly frescoed, a4d the floors of polished oak re waxed till they.shine like a mirror. . Here, between the acts, high and low, rich and poor, com mingle in perfect equality; the rich ly laced train and diamonds of the princess brushing the blouse and the calic of the ouvrier. -Entering the auditorium of ithe theatre, gold, gold,, gold is around you every where, relieved here and there by the rich silks and costly velvets of the boxes; the dresses of the ladies very frequently idicate the wild est and most lavish extravagance; the style called decollete generally p,revailing, which leaves, you, in doubt as you se4 their shoulders over the top of the boxes, if they are not in the,?ae delightful cos tume that distinguishes Power's Greek slave., Diamond.! rubies, emeralds, pearls, arethysts , and other. precious stones fas in, the brilliant lihts, and,thet ear is stunned wi,tl the jhum of strange and ingumerable fogues. Fonr strokes on the floor with a mighty hammer announce, the rising of the curtain, and in an instant all is hushed. The scenery is of daz zling splendor, and at once you are transpsorte.dinto Fairy and. Trans formations that exceed the. wildest dreams of. fiction amaze and be wilder you, and when the curtain falls and the lights are out, you wonder if it ha.s not been all a dream. This is the grand prize that lures the youthful singer, and which thousands die without ever clutching. Occasionally, one, like the young American girl Albani, succeeds, carrying the rich bloom of youth and beauty and virtue, en twined with transcendent genius and the golden wreath of triumph ; but the million fall by the wayside or sacrifice their hopes of heaven for the prospect of earthly success. The art galleries, too, are full. In the splendid halls of the Louvre palace, easels line the way on either sidem,and there pale-faced and earn est -young men..and women toil during the lsng hours of the day. God only knows the sacrifice it has cost many of them to reach this de ceitful go4l which they never leave alive. When 1 first came to Paris a couple of months ago, passing along the galleries of the Louvre,]I used frequently to stop before the easel of a fair-haired young English girl who was engaged on a work. oi rare and exquisite beauty. The young artist never seemed to notice any of the passers by, but bent in tently over her work, comnpletely absorbed in her task. Her-dress indicated poverty, and. her.features, which had once been beautiful, were now sharp and pinched.. her golder hair hung n'eglected down her back and her large blue, earnest eyes were deep sunken in. her head Occasionally a cough would racl her, ,and then she would stop an~ lean her head upon her hand. ne day T asked her if the pic. ture was for sale. She answered me in a low, husezy voice: "Not yet, not yet; I am painting it for the golden prize of the. Academy." In the early days of May I missed her; her chair was vacant and her easel was covered up. I went back day aftei day, but the palette was untouched and the picture was still shrouded.~ On Wednesday last as I was walking along the Faubourg St. Germain, on a bright and pleasant afternoon, I met a. funeral procession; the coffin and the hearse were draped in spotless white, and around it were troops of beam tiful young girls bearing wreaths and garlands of flowers, indicating that she whom they bore .to her last resting place was a maiden. In common with the rest of the l'ook ers on, 1 reverently raisd.y.hat as the inourning processionpassed by, and I inquired 6f a woman standing near me if -he kne* who it was, whom they followed. She told me her name ; it was th'at'of. my joung artist friend of - the Louvre., She had missed the gol den prize,of the Academy to win, I hope: and trust, a shnin'g and im moral crown.
