for I have lacked food many times ere now."

The traveller took the child in his arms and wrapped his cloak
about him, while his heart stirred with shame and anger against
the gratuitous cruelty of the instruments in this persecution. In
the awakened warmth of his feelings he resolved that, at whatever
risk, he would not forsake the poor little defenceless being whom
Heaven had confided to his care. With this determination he left
the accursed field, and resumed the homeward path from which the
wailing of the boy had called him. The light and motionless
burden scarcely impeded his progress, and he soon beheld the fire
rays from the windows of the cottage which he, a native of a
distant clime, had built in the western wilderness. It was
surrounded by a considerable extent of cultivated ground, and the
dwelling was situated in the nook of a wood-covered hill, whither
it seemed to have crept for protection.

"Look up, child," said the Puritan to Ilbrahim, whose faint head
had sunk upon his shoulder, "there is our home."

At the word "home," a thrill passed through the child's frame,
but he continued silent. A few moments brought them to a cottage
door, at which the owner knocked; for at that early period, when
savages were wandering everywhere among the settlers, bolt and
bar were indispensable to the security of a dwelling. The summons
was answered by a bond-servant, a coarse-clad and dull-featured
piece of humanity, who, after ascertaining that his master was
the applicant, undid the door, and held a flaring pineknot torch
to light him in. Farther back in the passage-way, the red blaze
discovered a matronly woman, but no little crowd of children came
bounding forth to greet their father's return. As the Puritan
entered, he thrust aside his cloak, and displayed Ilbrahim's face
to the female.

"Dorothy, here is a little outcast, whom Providence hath put into
our hands," observed he. "Be kind to him, even as if he were of
those dear ones who have departed from us."

"What pale and
journey's end. Trouble not thyself for my hunger, kind friend, 
 for I have lacked food many time ere nowadays. " 

 The traveller took the child in his arms and wind his cloak 
 about him, while his heart stirred with pity and anger against 
 the gratuitous cruelty of the instruments in this persecution. In 
 the awaken warmth of his feelings he answer that, at whatever 
 risk, he would not forsake the inadequate short defenceless being whom 
 Heaven had confided to his care. With this determination he entrust 
 the accursed field, and resumed the homeward way from which the 
 wailing of the boy had called him. The luminosity and motionless 
 burden barely impeded his progress, and he soon beheld the fire 
 rays from the window of the cottage which he, a native of a 
 distant clime, had built in the western wilderness. It was 
 surrounded by a considerable extent of cultivated ground, and the 
 dwelling was situated in the nook of a wood - covered hill, whither 
 it seemed to have crept for protection.

 had slump upon his shoulder, " there be our home. "
