And over this world and through,
Though drifted about,
And tossed about,
Why “paddle your own canoe.”
What though the sky is heavy with clouds.
Or shining a field of bliss ;
If the bleak wind blows,
Or the sunshine glows,
Still “paddle your own canoe.”
What if breakers rise up ahead,
With dark wave rushing through.
More steadily try,
With steadfast eye,
To “paddle your own canoe.”
If a hurricane rise in the midnight sky,
And the stars are lost to view.
Glide safely along,
With smile and song.
And “paddle your own canoe.”
Up iu this world, aud down in this world.
Over this world and through,
Though weary aud worn,
Bereft, forlorn,
Still “paddle your own canoe.”
Never give up when trials conic—
Never go sad and blue;
NeVer sit down
With a tear or frown.
But “paddle your own canoe.”
There are daisies springing along the shores,
Blooming and sweet for you ;
There are rose-lined dyes
In the autumn skies—
Then “paddle your own canoe.”

INDIAN CHARACTER.
The following interesting naralive is
from the Columbus Enquirer, anti
teaches us a lesson of the power ol
truth, justice and right, and the result
of wrong, oppression and falsehood.
Our Federal Government could learn
an important lesson from it and act ac
cordingly.
Editor Enquirer :—Permit me !o
offer you “my personal recollections,”
written years ago, of an humble and
consistent Christian, Rev. William Mi
zell, who has long since passed to the
spirit land. He was well know to
many persons in the Northern part of
lately Russell, now Lee county. I give
to you, only as an evidence of exempla
ry Christian character, in its influence
upon the savage mind-and conduct.
In the humble and retired walks of
life we often find men of exemplary
and consistent character whose memo
ry deserves a record of brighter page
than many who fill volumes in their
personal history. Such a man was
William Mizell, late of Russell, now
Lee county, Ala. My memory extends
back to more than fifty years, and then
he was the humble and diffident Chris
tian 1 hat he was twelve years ago,
when he silently passed away from
earth to the good spirit land.
His constant work in a long life,was
lo labor with his hands for six days in
the week, and on the Sabbath day to
preach lo his neighbors at some log
meeting house in the forest. His re-
ligious anti inoffensive character made
the white plaintiff offered to prove the
account by his oath as he was permit
ted by law to do. The young man saw
at once the fraud, and stepped up and
informed the court that he would de
fend the Indian chief, his neighbor,and
commenced interrogating the while
Christian plaintiff about the account,
and done it in such manner as convinc
ed every one present, and the court,
that it was a fraud. He then told the
plaintiff to swear to the account, but
warned him it he did, he would prose
cute him lbr perjury, and send him to
the Penitentiary, lie, (the plaintiff,)
refused to swear, arid the case was dis
missed. The old chief saw he had a
friend, but could not understand the
conversation, but when the case was
dismissed, bis white friend told him be
was clear. This was more than be
expected, fur in evciy case before a
pony or cow paid the penalty o! a jus
tice’s summons.
Jn a short time afterwards, and du
ring the evening, the old ohiet told his
friend be wauled lo see him away off’.
To the forest they went, and the old
Indian, in broken English, informed
him that six of their young men had
been sent to the Florida Seminoles ;
that they would return in a few days,
and that if they said “peace,” it would
be peace, but if they said “fight,” then
the Indians would kill all the white
people iu the new country. He told
him to say nothing about it, as he was
breaking the law in notifying him, but
he was friend lo Indian, Indian would
be friend to him, and said he would
tell him when the young warriors re
turned. This ‘was in the spring of
1S36.
About two weeks after this interview
one evening about three o’clock, the
old chief galloped up to the residence
| of his friend and told him,“Go to night.”
j At a moments warning, and under this
threatening exigency,there was no lime
lo save properly ; the wagon was bas-
lily fixed up, some few articles of pro
visions, and the family sealed, leaving
a negro woman, who had been raised
among the Indians, to take care of the
furniture, house and property. The
two families went about ten miles to-

The editor of the Washington Star,
writing from Salt Lake City,under date
of July ‘JOlh, says :
We had some curiosity to ascertain
flow ihe Mormons stood on the negro
question, and lhe following was the rc-
su It of the inquiries propounded :
Correspondent. “Are there negroes
in your Territory ?”
Brigham. “A few : there are a con
siderable number scattered through the
Territory.”
“Are they here as members of the
Mormon Church or as Gentiles ?”
Brigham,
the Church.”
Correspondent. “What is lluyr stat
us here in the Territory?”
Brigham. “We consider them and
treat them as what they are, the sous
of Cain.”
Correspondent. “Are they admit
ted to equal fellowship in your church?”
Brigham. “No distinction is made
against them as members oflhe church,
but they are not eligible to any office,
either civil or religious. A good many
of them were brought here by South
ern brethren when they came trom the
States. They are industrious and use
ful members of the community.”
Correspondent. “How many Indi
ans have you in the Territory.
Brigham. “1 have no idea. The
tribes are migratory. Those within
the Territory when we came, have all
died out.”
Correspondent. “Have you been dis
turbed as a people by the Indians ?”
Brigham. We have not. The prin
cipal difficulty with the Indians grew
out of depredations committed by pass
ing travellers. The Indians retaliated
upon Mormon settlers. If you will
wait a moment, I will relate a little in
cident, showing our mode of dealing
with the Indians. When our band of
143 pioneers came out lo locate a place
here for settlement, when we came to
the Pawnee country, through which
the emigrant travel passed, the Indi-
iaw—the gospel—but still followed the
Mosaic dispensation.
'[’he court after consulting Colonel
Jenkins the city Attorney, decided
that notwithstanding the facts, the stat
ute was general, and intended to em
brace every faith and every form of
religion. Dr. Bettleheimer then took
out bis license and gave the security

“I don’t know ; he doesn’t tell me

said General Grant. Mr. Phelps then

question added : “Tell him the Presi

immediately got upon his legs, threw
down the paper, and made a very

fury of the animal’s demonstrations,
one would teally have taken him for

locomotive off a bridge.
“Take that bull out of the way”
shouted Nash, as fie approached.
“Proceed with thy elephant” was the
reply. “ If you don’t take that bull a-

approaching, while the bull redoubled
his belligerent demonstrations. “Don’t

on with his uncouth, shambling gait:

have a feeling recollection of the troub

hitn respected by all his acquaintances, They went frequently to his house, so
and he never failed in his humble
teachings to find the heart and con
sciences of his hearers. His whole life
was a long and laborious one, but his
eternity ! what is it ? as happy as it
will be long.
But my object is to write down a
singular instance of the influence of his
life upon savage feelings. In 1833 ho
moved from Houston county, Ga.. to
Russell county, Ala., near what is now
known as Opelika, hut what was then
inhabited by the Creek Indians. Here,
having no white persons, or but very
few to whom he could preach, be fix
ed a pulpit and seats under the shade
of some large oaks near bis residence,
and invited the Indians to come up ev
ery Sabbath and worship, with hitn,
the Great Spirit. At first but very
few came, and with those he commu
nicated through an intelligent negro
man, who belonged to the nation, and
was a good interpreter. After the ser
vices, he distributed among them food
which he had prepared on the day pre
vious. His simple and kind manner
towards them, gained their confidence,
and his audience increased until the
Indians, for quite a dirtance around,
would assemble with him on the Sab
bath day to hear his remarkable and
simple tale of the plan of salvation.—
Whether they believed it or not, it is
certain they had great tespect for the
man “who talked with the Great Spir
it.”
In the settlement of the country a
great many evil and dissolute white
men settled among the Indians, more
for the purpose of stealing and pilfer
ing than for anything else.
As soon as the State ol Alabama
extended her laws over the country a
fine field was open to them to steal
from the Indians b\ T due process of law.
A mean white man—and there were
many of them—would make up an ac
count against an Indian, place it in the
hands of a justice of the peace for suit;
and on the day of trial would swear lo
it in presence of the poor Indian, who
could not comprehend the machinery
of the law, but whose understanding
would be enlightened a day or two
afterwards by a constable, who would
seize upon the Indian’s pony, or cow
or negro, in satisfaction of the judg
ment. A son-in-law of the old preach
er heard about the state of legal pro
ceedings in the district, and concluded
on a court day he would go and see
how the thing was done. When he
arrived, he heard a case called against
an old chief, who lived near him, and
to by them, and to let them know that
we think a little better or ourselves
than we do of them.”
The vim with whice Brigham gave
utterance to his views of the Indian
was in the habit of daily reciting six
hundred verses from different languag-
es. Sanderson, another mathematician
was able to repeat ail Horace’s odes,
and a great part of other Latin authors.
came down, breaking his neck and kill
ing him instantly. “Lin afraid your
bull has bent his neck a little,” shouted
Nash, as he passed on. “Bent the
devil,” cried old Shavey, with a
troubled look at bis defunct bull; “tbv

thee will not make so much out of the.
operation as thee supposes. 1 was

but I’ll see thee and thy show Mowed
