In 1830, having (vvlived at voars of manUood, without a fortuuo or other appliances promising successful competition with business niou in my native State, 1 determined to tarn my thoughts toward tlio far west and south, as furnishing a moro appropriato field lor young atul enterprising ino'n, who might possess the strength and courage to withstand the luvrdshins and toils incident to a pioneer life. Up'o .1 conference with three other young men in similar circumstances, we determined to wond our way to tho nn .Ids of Texas, and Immediately sot about preparing for our journey for that thou foreign land ; for Texas twenty years ago, was thought to be n long ways t'rom Louisville. AYo met at Ltfuisvillo on the first day of Ju ij, wnuru wc wore uotnmo.d some tlwoo dftys waiting for a boat. On tlio evening of tuO third day, a small, li"ht craft made her appearance, hound for New Orleans; and knowing tlio larger class of boats could not then navigate the Ohio, we lost no time in .securing borths. Though small and unoomfortahlo, th ?1) >at was very much crowded with cabin a.id d?ok passengers, bound for different poi.its on the Ohio and Mississippi, tolre.thor vit.li nri-r o ? ..^iu .iimumi u.\|miriate themselves and take up thoir fthodo in tin; land of promifco to which wo were bouud. Nothing-of much interest oceuml after leaving LSnisvillo, until we landed at Smithland, except that our boat formed a familiar a?K(uaintanco with tho iiutnorous shoals and Hand bam with which the Ohio is well supplied, ' veil to vator iah mity 1o?t." At Sinithland several passengers came on board, and among tho number a very digniiiod and genteel-looking lady, apparontly aboufc forty years old, and her daughter some oighteon or ninoteen. Tho latter was pn ho.m tiful and tfowitehingly interesting iu appcaranco that, for my part, I ould not realize tho fact that her homo was upon this broad earth, as connected with tho cnildren of men; and yet, to tho astonishment of all, thoaa two interesting beings took a dock passage, bound for tho mouth of Red River. Ou tho following morning the clerk, as usual, went below to eolloct the passage money. The cuicr may nuormcJ hiiu that sho had about iw much monwy as would moot his demand but if ho took that, she and her daughter would bo place 1 on shore among strangers, ponnile?s. The gohtlomaniy clerk dociined aecftpHng the irtOney until ho could state tho facta to tfio captain and receive his orders.? The captain, on hearing his statement, dosired the clerk to delist, promising to call on tho ladies himself; and in a few hours did, spent soino time very agcooahly in their company, and took occasious to repeat his call several times during tho day. Flic day following, ho also continued his calls, and made, on ono occasion, some advancos toward the young lady, which led her to believe his in tontrons trore tiot. of the moat !>on'oral,>lo kind Fooling keenly tho insult, and fofteoljng upon her dependent position, siio was, tor nn instant, embarrassed. and uncertain what opurao lp pursiio; but being possessed of strong mind and quick peremption, who soon recovered sclf-cunitty}, and gavo the captain a signal of distress from a certain degree masonic, sometimes given to the wives and daughters of Maxtor Masons. The captain recognized the signal, stepped back as if olec trifloil, nil J with uplifted hands, beseechingly itiaiured, " In tho name of hoaren, "whore did you obtain that?" 8 ho answered with k. sweot-toned voice, ftnd with nil tho innocence of an angpl, "from my husbaud, father, iitifl brothor." This unexpected answer ncemed to confuse tbo captain tho inori); for he certainly had not auppoaod showas a married wflmfin. Upon inquiry he lqarnod that Iwth horsolf and niotlier were wives of Mastor Mi won s? Soon after tho clerk was seen gallanting the two ladies into the cabin, and the portrt. following with tlieir baggage. The best state-rooms were assigned them, and if tbo captain bad been tho brother or sop, he could not have been inoro devoted to their . comfort and liappine.se.

Tho old lady soon recognised and sent for mo. Up to this period I had not spoken to her; hut from the intimacy which sho had observed between the captain of tho other boat and mysolf, she said she had told mo certain things and especially if T was, she supposed a Mason adding, "if you arc l(?f. ?i?P Irnniw if. fVVr I Vi?i'? m ^ v .. u i*J*.A.nou ?%/ mnnv favor* from f lint source unasked, that I desire to know all Masons with whom I may meet." .1 informed her that I was a young Mason?had never done any good as such?and assured her that 1 claimed no credit for the favors she intimated she had rcccived from the oaptiin; but that whatever those favors, were, the. captain had rendered them .is all good Masons would do, with no other nope of reward than a consciousness of having discharged his duty. "I presume sir," said she, "the captain informed you of his generous and magnaui inous conduct, on taking leave of us at the uvoutli of tho l iver (i No, madam," 1 replied, "T heard the captain speak in the most respectful terms of yourself and daughter, but in no way did he allude to favors done to either of you." u And did he not tell you, sir of our free passage dowu, and his noble generosity in urging us to accept tho means of defraying our expenses for the balance of our journey f" " No, madam," I answered, "the captain intimated nothing of the kind to me; and f l uiu very certain more was not a passenger on board who did not suppose you paid your passage; nor did one auspcct the captain of having given you aid in any way." She then attempted to give me a detail of events, but her feelings overcame her, and bursting into tears, she retired to licj state-room. Our passage up the river was a protracted one, in consequence of tho low stage ol water, and [ occasionally enjoyed tho socio t.y of the ladies, Had often spent an hour very pleasantly, but no further allusion was made to the captain. At Alexandria I was informed that the boat could not ascend the river any furthor, and we were all forced to take our chancer by land conveyance.
