The place where he suffered, and his tomb, arc still pointed out and lnneh reve.'onced by tlie Christians in Smyrna. Though Smyrna has fallen from its former splendour, it i.s still in a better rendition than tlie other churches. " It is a belter built town than Constantinople," says l)r.

About ton w:?rs sinco, as I sat in an auti- j quat???l pionoor lint, Minuted in one of tlit? iiium iviii'iic M'uiviucnis ot .\ebrnski., parta- | king <>f a scanty hoard of provisions, a pour, I famished Indian made his appearance at tlm ! door and begged for something to eat. The i generosity of lev nature was moved In (he story of his privations and wrongs, to all of wliieli his weariness gave evidence. lie stated, in tolerable g<>od Knglish, tliat lie had been for two days on a fruitless excursion for game ; that he had an aired mother at homo u-lw.*.. comfort and oxistonoo depended on his skill r.s a hunter, ami worst of all that he had killed mi game, that ho oouhl not hear the idea of letting his poor old mother perish from hunger, although at present he did not know how ho oouhl remedy tin- matter. ' New r mind, brother." I said, in the kindest manner, possible, " though inv hoard is not very plenteous, whit 1 have you shall willingly share, and after you have hoen sat isliod, wo will then cons'nior what is best to do for the relief of the famishing mother at lionie." A flush of gratification overcast the features of the savage as he drew near the table and sat down. lie ate with an eagerness which proved to me that his was no sham complaint. " White man not all devil," said the Indi- ' an, after a tew moment's silciu e, and he looke i r.t me with a tear in his eye. I saw that the espro.-siuii came from his heart. " What di vnu moan L av\vd, "Viy such an unreasonable express'"jv., ' lie then informed me that ho lr .l slopped at (lie but (if a white man on'y a Sew miles north of me, ami 11a< 1 bci/^ed fov something to eat. but was refused, an 1 ur?t only refused, but was insulted ninl ul.'V<sed by the unfeeling occupant. lie' des^iibvd him so well that I knew it was my nearest neighbor, Flint, with whom I had but little dealings on account of his unsociability.

" In.lootl/* said f, ' tho.ro arc tno many who, surrounded by the blessings and luxuries of life forget to administer to the necessities dt* those, who may have been less favored by high heaven, and consequently are in want, j lUit, brother, wo should remember, that though blessed to-day, to-morrow we may be destitute, and dependent upon the charity of | others; ami above all, we should never forget or refuse to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, j and lift him up that is fallen." " White man talks right," said the Indian, j i while a look of satisfaction lieamcd from his j eye : " good actions never forgot.?-never die. j We do goo 1, |.l 10 (! re.it Spirit sends us good ; ' we do bad, (treat Spirit sends us bad.'' j Thus reasoned the poor wild savage, and I , thought that his reasoning.-! were sound, and ! I wished that all white men thought just as I lit; did, and acted upon the same principles in their dealings toward one another. Act as if they thought that, hereafter, they would Ij< ; judged by their actions. How much but tor' j our worbl would bo ! i The meal having boon dispatched, I turnod . 1 the subject of conversation toward the faui- j . ishing mother at homo. 1 " Ah, yes 1" he said, springing to his fcot. j I " she must nut die, I must away ; but if I I should kill no game," ho said, mournfully, as he hastened towards the door, " then all is | over, and 1 could not live after that, for then evil ghosts Would haunt mo, and 1 would die . and go to the world of evil spirit--." " \\*e must uik.1i ii?nMiiliiM " T *,.,..1 | I .i.M.w.. .| .r'M.VP, I ^ "yesterday I had tho good fortune to snoot :i i fine deer, am! you can have the half of i! as , well as not, also a portion of corn, and we will set out immediately. I will go with you and help to carry the burden. i I then asked him where lie lived, when he informed me that his wanwani was situated on I the banks of the Platte, some fifteen miles I distant. I then tossed upon his back the j half of the deer before mentioned, and shoul; dering a sack of corn myself, we moved oil. I fad I been lucky enough to have po.sso.ssod a . team of horses it would have saved meat long ! and tiresome walk ; but the reader must recollect that on the wild prairies of the Wot, the ux-team i.s invariably used, becausc they | are caster maintained than horses. It is needless to enter into a detailed ac. count of the journey. It suffices to say, the assistance came in time, and that the atgod ! and famished mother was soon made happy and I cheerful. After some time spent with my j I savage, yet grateful friends, and after rcceiv- j ing manifold blessings and assurances of a , return for my goodness, 1 returned to my own j home, revolving in my mind as I did so, the 1 novelty of the d.<y's adventure, and to what it j ! llli'-ht hp.l'e.'iflcv ln;i<l \ n.l T draw a contrast between humanity and inhu-1 inanity, between in doing as we would wish to ; bo clone by, and doing as we, too frequently, I are done by. And I could not help thinking I that the pleasure I then enjoyed was more gratifying than that of my neighbor Flint, who had refused the poor savage even a morsel of food. Although my neighbor had accumulated wealth faster than 1 by means of bis avariciousncsd, yet 1 did not envy him ; a clear heart and a good conscience is a greater i blessing than them all. What little I have ' is .'i source of comfort to me and not of regret, as it would be had I come by it dishonestly, j We will now pass over a period of four ! years, during which time serious difficulties j arose betwcj.i the border settlers and the In- ! diana; in which ninny of the former lost their ' property as well as their lives. Nor did I escape the common fur)' of the savages, but with all my efleets I was hurried away to the hostile camp. Here I met my unfortunate neighbor Flint, and others who had fallen victims to the common rage; poor fellows ! lying ; about upon the ground, closcly fettered hand j and foot, and lashed fast to trees to keep them j still. Theirs was indeed a most pitiable con- i I intion j>ut i was not lett a great while to | pity tho miseries of others, ere I wab fcttored i ami left in the same uncomfortable eondition. j Ah, too feeble is the pen of the writer to even attempt a description of the tortures of such a moment. Tho air resounded with tho cries of tho poor wretches. As for tho comfort of my situation, the reader can imagine how he j would feel with a rope around his ancles, the ' other end of which was tied to tho branch of: | a tree overhead in such way as to elevate his feet far above his head. * The fancy can hardly ' I paint a more uneoinfortn'.ili! tin... this, ami in this predicament wo wore left for j tho night. I had nothing to cat for twenty- J four hours, ami the keen demands of appetite I almost rendered mo frantic.

" None l;ut r??:;.st," replied the other, " unless you can break your letters during the nij?ht and escape bv that means." i " lint that is impossible," continued pour Mint, hopeless. " Thou hotter reconcile yourself to it, my friend," Haul the other, " and snflFor yourself not to he excited, assist mce 1 may come yet. i was once nearer than this to the stake, and still escaped to meet this danger, and I trust to outlive it also." llow vain sueh hopes! The night wore : away tediously, and not one, 1 d u e sa*\ or'a1' , those prisoners, slept a wink sit h-ast did not, and cries and compla1*.;.* v<\o heard from all around. Hut tcomplaints were soon to he husUcd; :;.,u those fears all quieted in . the <rrtiv. ''.e unauspieious morning began to dawn M tlic oa.-t, but no looked-for friends, no assistance came. The cries of discomfiture among the captives became heart rending as they began to despair, llut as for me, I had j endured and was still enduring all that it was | possible for poor human nature to bear, and I j cared but little how soon the tragedy was brought to a close. I had been guilty of noth nig worthy of punishment, had a clear heart and approving conscience, consequently the future appeared b'.'ight before me. Presently ! 1 ?? Indians made their appearance in considerable numbers, and unfettering | tin- ft ,-t of the captive;-, we were ail marched ' oil' to the banks of the IMatte, where a bright : lire was already seen blazing, and a large assemblage of Indians were gathered around it. Some of the captives were greatly ail'ectcd at the sight of wh;;t they rightly supposed to be their approaching dissolution ; while my poor unioriunaie. iH'iulil), r Mint was (juite overeiinic, and had to bo C. fried. " Never mind/' said one of tlio savaues in j broken Kn^lish, who had to assist at the task, j ' yon feci bcttoi- by-and-by." Soon on tlio border of a beautiful prairie, ^ tlio party cnuie to a bait. On one band was , tbo rivev, skirted with trees, ami oil tlio other j a vast extent of prairie, reaching as far as tlio eye could see, with the dim outlines of timber I away in the distance. I lore another pow wow j was held, at tbo conclusion of which we were , iii! unceremoniously lashed to trees, generally j four in :i place, with our backs to tlic tree, ami our hands still firmly bound. Wood was then placed around us, and I really began to feel that ni)' hour had ootne. However, 1 had resolved to meet it like a martyr, with christian meekness, resigniiiji myself to Him whoso power can save the spirit even after the body is consumed in ashes. The moments flew past rapidly. O, the anxiety and fearful excitement of that hour! The nccossary preparations were all made, the wood placed, and the victims at the stake. ' Salt petre can't save us," said he who on the previous evening had been our interpreter ; " for they are now only awaiting the arrival of another company who desire to witness our torment. It is all over with us ! nil over with us 1" ho repeated, in a despaiiing tone. " We must all perish here." "() (Jod ! () (!od !" echoed a chorus of voices all around, " have merry on us!"' Minutes now past, yet the expected company came not, and I perceived n spirit of impatience and uneasiness among those by whom we were surrounded. The savages began to murmur, and a serious contention arose among them, during which the torches were applied, and the flames began to circle up on all sides very rapidly. The smoke arose in dense volumes almost. from tin- beginning ami wellnigh sulVweated me. Meanwhile tlxt savages commenced dancing nround us, flourishing their tomahawks and shrieking a kind of doggerel or war song, the white at intervals thrusting sharp-pointed sticks into the flesh of their perishing victims as they writhed amid the tortures. The flames progressed rapidly, the lower portions of my body were already badly blistered, and the smoke circled nnund my head and singed my hair, and almost entirely obstructed my breathing. The pangs 1 then felt can be imagined better than described.? Its most excrutiating torture to depict I can lind no words that would give you the faintest idea of it. I discovered myself to be fast sinking into insensibility. There was gathered before my eyes what 1 can describe as no othtlinn ?!w. -c . i i - 1 * V I iiiuit niv/ oiuuuny KH I M fllK'll IU bo settling dow n into a half unconscious .slumber, which I thought was death, and from which I expocfcct never to awaken. Thc pang was over, and I felt that my scene of suffering was at an end. f seemed to en joy a kind of breathless being. My mind flashed back upon tlie past, and rays of (lie future seemed to break in upon my half unconseiou.sne.ss and tho thought occurred, "How shall I be received in the other world V T I<>/ .! <>v_ pericnciuga sense of disappointment that the j pangs of death should ho so brief; and I re- j member a sensation of pity felt for those who still dwelt upon the earth?how they tremble at tho thought of dissolution, when the suffering is in reality so quickly over. When I awoke from insousibility, T found j ni3'self lying on a soft, comfortable bed in my own little hut. But how I came there was a mystery. A venerable squaw was sitting by my side, and near the fireplace sat an Indian warrior smoking his pipe Observing the change of my countenance, who spoke to him, ol.AM l,? ? -..J * ? * " 1 r. uu (uusu una vuiiau uiwaru nie. vv lint was my astonismcut, when I recognized in him my old friend, who some four years before I had saved from starvation; and the old srjnaw was his mother.
