C' ClIAl'Tr.K I. ^ "Conic, haste to the wedding!'' a! On the 3d of .February, 1809, an act ofCon- w gross was passed, defining the boundaries of Si Illinois, and establishing the "First Grade" at of Territorial Government. The popula- I' tion ol'the whole territory did not then ex- 15 ceed twelve thousaud ; and, with the excep- in tion of Chicago, and a few .settlements on pi the \Vabash, was confined to a narrow strip tii of Ciuutry along the Mississippi. Hut, up- at on the organization of the new government, in (under Governor Kdwards.) the current of emigration received an impulse in this di- w reel ion ; and the fertile prairies, lying near- tb cr to the ceutrc of the state, began to at- so tract mote attention. Knskaskia was the la seat of territorial authority, as well as the in uuclcus of population ; and it was north- al ward, along the banks of the river of that b; name, that the stream of emigrants natural- tn ly took its way. of Among those who pusliod adventurously p; forward in tint direction, wa3 a certain gi Thomas Fielding, who migrated from Vir- hi ginia in the autuutn of 1811; his family st consisting of a wife, two sons and otic ti daughter, l'assing by the settlements in si St. (.'lair countv. be Dressed on across the al prairies, with a world of fertile acres spread ?1< before hint, until he reached the banks of ti Shoal Crock, in the county of liond. A T few utiles south-west of the point where the d; town of (ireenville has since been built, he it found a tract of land which combined all c the advantages of which ho was in search, tl A prairie, several miles in width, was buun- w ded by high and valuable timber along the g creek, and stretched away toward the north and west, in all the rich, unbroken beauty o ot primeval nature. Klevatcd, but well a watered, undulating, though not rugged ; s that portion of which, with the freedom of v the wilderness, ho took immediate posses- t sion, was easily converted into a beautiful o and productive litrui. .1 u.at withiu the skirt t of the timber, protected by a grove of state- i ly oaks, he erected a spacious, though prim ?itive maustiou ; and here, in the grand sol- a itudc of wood and plain, he prepared, with : his family, to spend the rcm.aiudor of his \ life. t It was chiefly with a view to the welfare t of that family that he had left the older and t wore thickly-peopled state of Virginia, to t Seek a homo in the Far \\ cat. lie was , growing old; his sons were approaching i iiiuiiimjuu uiki, unci assisting int'ir iniikt i in providing for his age, it was natural that i they should bo solicitous about tinir own i future. Each, accordingly, with the con- I currcnco of the father, selected for himself 1 a sufficient domain ; and such was the ciier- v gy with which they prosecuted their "im- v proveuicDts," that, by the spring ol 1813, a there were three separate farms, immediately h contiguous, under active cultivation. a Uoth the sons were married iu the Course II of the following summer?for other etni- d grants had followed Fielding's 'trail," untd, <? at this time, there were, perhaps, twenty e families within a circle of ten miles diauic- i> tor. dane, the daughter, still remained with o her parents j but the frequent visits of a i> certain .John Edgar, who lived some eight tniles down the liver, Seemed to give color ti to the rumor, now rite in the selll ineiit, ii that she was soon to exeharge her maiden t name, for that of the \uung Hanger (.'at - d tain. v f' And, without implying any license to t: ispute about tastes?which, from tiuie iin- w tentorial, have been considered out ot the si ale ot controversy?Edgar's choice was t< roll justified by her qualities, both of miud n ml person. She was considerably above 1 he medium height, with the lree carriage, ri rhich health aud elastic spirits always give, e Jveu uow, though nearly forty years have tl asscd, aud she has borne and .nurtured a s uuterous family, her bearing is mure erect J nd graceful than that of many a girl with- p t her 'teens.

The lirst that the ; <1 jighborhood Icarus in those modest times, : I ' a matrimonial union, is the stealthy do- j irture of a close carriage, in which the j a tilty parties are privately withdrawing, to u ido their culprit faces among carol-ss 1 rangers. The public feeding of the oldou 1 mo was soin*;what different. The con- t unination, in fact, of an union which was c ready complete in affection, was then \ joined an occasion of social congratula- L on, and sometimes of noisy enjoyment.? t lie neighbors?husbands, wives, sons, and i i tugbtors?wore all called in, to take part j i i the hilarity ; and each felt that, if the t rent was, as it should be, a happy one to ic parties directly interested, it would be 1 rung to detract from that happiness, by loom, reserve, or ceremony. t The pioneers cared little for scented notes ] f invitation, embossed cards, or emblem- : tie tin tie-doves, no more than for the un- : ! ulstautial trickeries whieh now make up a 1 11* 1' I .1 1 11 1 remiing icasi. .\s uio nay approacncu, i hough yet perhaps a week remained, the I hihlrcti ol' the bride's iainily were scut i orth to warn the neighbors in,'' or, not I inl'reijuontly, tin; parties took advantage of oine other merrymaking, to annonnee the j in pieions event, and deliver iuvitati< ns ; j nut, without other formality. all who lived vithin a day's ride ol the place, considered I heinselvcs invited, and arrange d their af airs accordingly. S >mc incortvenieuco to i ho host and hostess might result from the i inet rtaiuty about the number of their i tiifsts; hut the art of providing uiaihemat- i eally for the precise number expected, was 1 lot then cultivated; if there was cnuitrjh, i t was not material how much more there ( night be?for that meanness which com- t ines a sordid calculation with the rites of I n spitality, was not one of the pioneer's ( ices. Preparation was made to receive all ,-ho ware near enough to reach the place; j profusion of substantial things, such as j earty men and natural women liked, domed the rude tables; and no grand s ourishes of whitenproned waiters, no sham t ignity of form or ceremony, encumbered r r oppns-ed the least. And, though the 1 arly back woodsman might not be the most s olished of hosts, yet, tried by the standard f genuine hospitality, be was the most n orleit ol gentlemen. \ Thomas Fielding was a tine re present a- ( ive ol his class; and those who have been s i the \\ c-t will need no I'uither descrip* t ion. 1' ir two weeks before the appointed ay, he had invited everybody lie met to . 1 ntih the marriage of bis daughter, and It ike part in the rejoicings; aud by those hoiu he saw, he had sent notice to others i that nt least a week before ihe eventfu jnth, every ono within tweuty utiles wat ot only notified, but asked to attend.?

Who that loves beauty would no ve in a variable cliuie? But it was little that the wedding-guest ared for the giories of September. Th un had scarcely began to deeliuc to war lie west, ere they first were seen approach ig. From all directions along the narrot oadj over prairie pathways, emerging frou no timber, or riding slowly along its oui kirts, the whole country seemed in motioi; lionias Fielding, with his two sous, all ii heir holyday suits, stood at the gate, air rclcouicd all comers with a hearty shake c lie baud; while at the front door th ouuger matrons, with their smiliug moth r, received the females of each party. Th ride-elect was tot yet visible; the ccrcnio y was not to take place till evening. Th ridegrooin had appointed a rendezvous lb is company of rangers ; and it \jas at th cad of these trust)' guardians of the set Icnicut, that he was to approach the seen f his happiness. In the meantime, th nests employed the vacant hours, each ac orditig to his fancy, the men in talk in vcr the prospects of the couutry, the dan ;er of Indian incursions, the plenty of th rops, etc.; while the women were cither a.< isling in the final preparations lor the feasi ?r readjusting their disordered dress?citl r gossiping with the mother, or teasing th laughter, who stil! kept her bridal chan >er. Four o'clock in the afternoon arrived ml now the happy captain, with his rai ;ors might soon be expected; when Jane icr preparations all complete, at last issue W?in her chamber, and announced her it ention to walk out upon the prairie an ;athcr some wild flowers. Several of th ounger girls proposed to accompany hei >ut with a smile and a blush she decline heir companionship. It was not prcsse ipou her, lor each had a suspicion of he ibject. The mothers called their daugl ers aside, and whispered? ".She is going to meet the captain?le icr go alone." And, in confirmation of the suspieiot be passed out to the southward and took path which led in the direction of the roa ilong which the captain was to come. somewhat more than half a mile from th Itousc stood a little grove. within which sli had often met Edgar on his visits to lie lather's, and from this point her pnrcni usually saw them approaching the holts together. It was to this grove that she wet ?by a circuitous route, however, so as t justify her excuse for leaving the house, h fathering a few late flowers. Hie had been absent from the house li lie more than an hour, when, rounding point'' of timber, which puts out from th :n.ek about two miles below the farm, avaleade of twenty horsemen was seen, an it once recognized as Edgar's company f rangers. Another body, about equal i number, was seen at the same lime seven niles to tlie west, hut all attention was no1 lirectcd toward the south, in cxpection r lie appearance of the rangers. The eldi adies smiled sedately, in memory of thei nvti youthful days, and prophesied?"'* ' He'll not come with the company? fou'll see Jt.no and him coming up tha path, after anhilo." And the event justified the predictionit least, in part; lor, on arriving opposit lie little grove Edgar turned off, and di ccting his companions to ride on, put hi torse to a gallop, and was goon within th hadows of the rendezvous. A vine and a fallen tree, together, forme i pleasant seat; and here, when the skic vcrc clear and the sunlight wnttn, he ha f'ten found her awaiting his approach. II ought the old place now, hut she was uc here ! "She must be out soon," he muttered t limscll ; and springing to the ground, h issumcd the scat which he had expected t 1 mi mtm ? i ! fiud occupied. He was disappointed, and both his lace and attitude betrayed it. Hd leaned his ritio against a tree aud threw himself back to wait, patiently as he wight * for whut was not likely to couio had he wailed till uioruing ! 11 is eyes wuudercd vacantly over the scene for soiuo minutes, when, suddenly springing up, he exclaimed? "She has been bore and gone away !" A uurrow strip of white uiusliu was hanging upon u thorn very near hiui?cvideutly torn from some article of female dress ! it I' could uot be usigual lor hiui; only accident , could have placed it there. She must have j retreated iu haste?aud why '{ Such wore [* the reasouings of the experienced rauger. lie reached forward aud took it oil the - briar; but, as he did so, his eye fell upou a i fur more ouiiujus object! The same bush i had retained a piece of rod calico, fringed I with green, aud Edgar at ouco observed t that it had conic from the cape of a buni ting-shirt such as the northern Indians wore! 1 It was enough ! Aud vet, with tha cool. i uess characteristic of his race, the ratigoi - stooped to the ground and ealuily examined . the records of a struggle. On each side ol t the rustic seat there was a single footstep, - deeply indented among the leaves, as if twe c uieu had spruug suddenly ftoui opposite di i rections to a coujuioii poiut. Then, in front c of the seat, the twigs were broken and the - ground was trampled?though but little, a: f if the struggle had been brief and feeble 1 "No man could have been overpowers s so soon," he said; "and it must have beet as I expected?she was alone." But even this conviction did not hurrj hint away. 11c carefully examined tin ground in the neighborhood, and then, re turning to the scene of the struggle, fol lowed the trail, by those slight indication: i- which uouc but a backwoodsman couli e have discovered, for several hundred yard e to the westward, lie thus nsccriaiuct i) these facts : That the actual captors wer< i- but two iu number; that they had coucealei their horses in a small thicket, some dis taucc above the grove where the captun t was made ; that they had retreated in grca haste, keeping within a ravine which drniuct t the prairie; and that, at or near the thicku they had rejoined the main body of marau s dcrs, consisting of half-a-scorc of horse c men. "Tlicy have becu frightcued away by tin * gathering at Fieldinirs." thought the ran v gcr. 11 lie hastened back to the grove, am '* springing upon his horse, galloped away to ' ward the house. He had still a lingerie; ? hope, though faint, that he might litid hi bride at home j but this vanished at onc< '! when ho rcue furiously to the gate aud wa 0 met by her father.
