fixed their residences. on opposite Side
of the lake, at the, N'araaws„ whe;e it i
,only one mile„ wide, had been the mos
bitter enemies for years, taking, up, th
hatchet after a long period of the mos
Patin -late and friendly relations.' Neje
Toppleton had built .the • Lake ,Sher
Railroad as a -plaything, for the stadeht
of the Institute ,established on his .sil
of the lake, in erder to give them
thorough and practical isnowleidge
railway business. The Idea had. gabwn
on his hands till the road had become a
veeyiniportant channel of travel. Bay
ing up the stook ,of the old.'steansers el
the lake, he had obtained the eoutrol
them, and ran them in eminection with
the railroad. • This 'movement' "-gave
Middlepert, on the major's side of the
lake, a very great advantage over Con
treport, where Colo* Wimpletea ,resi-
deci.
Then the two great men became Civ
als for the business of the lake; and
the colonel built a large- and
steamer, to run in 'opposition ..to the
railroad, which, by its great speedand
elegant accomaiodatimia, carried the
day against the railroad. The students
of the Wimpleton Institute'were formed!
into a companyo and man-
aged the affairs of the Steamer, thus
obtaining an insight into the methodof
conducting businessin steak conipitii-
les: . I had' been. a kind of shuttlecock
between the aival magnates, and had
been successively employed and dils-
charaecl by 'each.The war between
the two sides of the lake had extended
to the families of the principal parties;
and the inhabitants of the large towns
in which they lived. The two eons of
the great men had been particularly
hostile; but, having 'made& their ways,
and, from vicious overbearingotyianni-
cal young meta, liecomingkind,•gentle,
and noble; they buried the hatchet, and
their relations Were pleasant and friend-
ly. By their -indirect efforts, with some
help from me; the feud between the fa-
thers had. been healed, and they -Were
now warm Personal friends. The rail-
road. and steamboat lines had beeu uni-
ed, and were now running ii bounce -
ion with each other.
I am not -disposed to say mach about
my ONVIi agency in bainging: about this -
happy state of things, though I had
abared • patiently and persistently for
ears to accomplish the result. ',I was
appy in the achieveMent, and not M-
ilted to apportion the :credit -of it
mong those who had brought it about,
xcept to.award a Very large share of it
o the sons of the two magnates: The

four hundred dollars for her.

Money out eller, and. now I get back

the Belle to sell her for fifty dollars ?"
laughed Tom.
," If she does not complain, you need
not." - , • .
"Wolf, I don't feel exactly right
about it. I have a kind of =idea that
you have taken pity on me, for a poor
miserable fellow as I am, and given me

"No such thine. Tom 1" I protested.
"Didn't I say there was a man in

Horatio Hale, of Clinton, Ontario and
therefore reet n eXcellent authority.
.Mr, Hale, in a visit to' the reserve pf
thoSix, Nations,' near Brantford, pro-
cured a, list of the le -tinders of the cele-
brated Iroquois 'Confederacy, in which
he found to his malaise,'" the name of
Hiawatha, the -Indian hero, 'made fa -
Mous by the genius of Longfellow," but
in ,foinaeo• diaguiaedetbat he did. , not at
first recognize it. :Written according to
the Mohawk pronun.ciation, on the re-
serve, the name is " Ayughwata " ; but
taking the words as usually written : if
-we' give to the first a slightly nasal
sound like that of the French an or en,
and separate the g and the h, we shall
approach very closely to the correct
pronunciation, The meaning of the
word is : " He who seeks the wampum.
belt," It appears from Mr. Hale'in-
vestigations that IliftWathil, Was not a
myth but a veritable personage, "as
authentic as King Alfred or General
Washington." tHejgappears to have
lived in the latter part of the fifteenth
century,. - That part of his life of which
the fullest acc.ount has been obtniaed
has some romantic traits, not unlike
Lorigfellotv'e hero. It was he who -first
conceived the idea of unitingthe -vari-
ous tribes ha the confederacy, and with
the aid of an influential Mohawk chief,
named Teltattawita (sometimes written
Dackauftweeda) succeeded in carrying
it out. They held. .a convention, and
planned.'a system of Government some-
what in the style of the founders of our
Repnblic. The names of those who
took, part in the convention are 'remem-
bered, aud even some recollections of
their speeches' ire preserved by tradi-
tion. The Motives of the leaders were
much thesame as those which actuated
the, framers of our Constitution, and
their plan was a remarkably compret
hensive one. Their purpose was no -
to confine the melon to the *tribes of
their own stook,' but to. embrace in all
the tribes or " nations't known to them
so as to bring about a general and pert
raanent peace. It will seem almos-
ineredible," Mr. Hale remarks, "that
a convention of Indian sages and states -
meta actuated by these views, was held
four centuries ago in Northern NOW
Yoak, and yet the evidence is very
strong."; There are still extant some of
the songs composed at that time. - They
are held in recollection by Means of
strings of wampum, each string varying
from the others in the collection of the
beads, and every string recalling a
verse. The versus are in an archaix
dialect, which differs from that of the
present ditY about ad much as the lan-
guage'of Chancer differs from modern
English. • These songs are in praise of
the. confederacy, andare still chanted
