The Indian Chief
The following beautiful story is
old, but literally true, and was first
published in a lectuie delivered by
William Tracy, Esq., of Uiica, N.
Y., on the early history of Oneida
count}’ :
One of the first settlers in Western
New York was Judge W , who
established himself at Whitestown,
about four miles from Uiica. He
brought his family with him, among
whom was a widowed daughter with
only one child—a fine boy about four
years old. You will recollect, the
country around was an unbroken for
est, and this was the domain of the
savage tribes.
Judge W saw the necessity
of keeping on good terms with the
Indians, lor, as he was nearly alone,
he was completely at their mercy.
Accordingly he took every opportu
nity to assure them of his kindly
feelings, and to secure iheir good
will in return. Several of the chiefs
came lo see him, and all appearetl
pacific. Bui there was one thing
that troubled him; an aged chief of
the Oneida tribe, and one of great
influence, who resided at a distance
of a dozen miles, and had not yet
been to see him, nor could he ascer-
tain the views and feelings of lhe sa
chem in respect to his settlement in
that region. Al last he sent in a
message, and the answer was thal
the chief would visit him on the
morrow.
True to his appointment, the sa-
chem came ; Judge W recciv-
eel him with marks of respect, and
introduced his wife, his daughtei,
and little boy. The interview that
followed was interesting. Upon its
result the Judge was convinced that
his security might depend, and he
was therefore exceedingly anxious to
make a favorable impression upon
the distinguished chief. He ex
pressed his desire to settle in the
country, to live on terms of amity
and good fellowship with the Indiv
ans, and to be useful to them by in
troducing among them the arts ol
civilization.
The chief heard him out, and then
said : “Brother, you ask much and
you promise much. W hat pledge
can you give of your faith ? The
white man’s word may lie good to
the white man, yet it is but wind
when spoken to the Indian.”
“I have put my life in your hands,”
said the Judge, “is not that an evi
dence of my good intention ? I have
placed confidence in the Indian, and
will not believe that lie will abuse
or betray the tiust that is thus re*
posed.”
“So much is well,” replied the
chief, “the Indian will repay confi
dence with confidence; if you will
trust him he will trust you. Let
this boy go to my wigwam—I will
bring him back in three days with
my answer!”
If an arrow had pierced the bo-
som ot the mother, she could not
have felt a deeper p?ng than went
to her heart as the Indian made this
proposal. She sprang forward and
running to the boy, who stood at
the side of the Sachem, looking into
his face with pleased wonder and
admiration, she encircled him in her
arms, and pressing him lo her bo
som, was about toHy from the room.
A gloomy ominous frown came over
the Sachem’s brow, but he did not
speak.
But not so with Judge W . He
knew thal the success of their enter
prise, the lives of his family depend
ed on the decision of a moment.
“Stay, stay, my daughter,” he
said, “bring back the boy, I beseech
you. He is not more lo you than to
me. I would not risk a hair of his
head. But my child he must go with
the chief. God will watch over him !
He will be as safe in the Sachem’s
wigwam as beneath our own roof.”
The agonized mother hesitated lor
a moment and then slowly returned,
placing the boy on the knee ol the
chief, and kneeling at his feet burst
into a flood of tears. The gloom
passed from the Sacheiu’s brow. He
arose and departed.
I shall not attempt to describe the
agony of the mother for the ensuing
days. She was agitated by contend
ing hopes and fears. In the night
she awoke from sleep; seeming to
hear the screams ol her child calling
on its mother lor help. But time
wore slowly away—-and the third
day came. How slowly did the
hours pass. The morning waned
away, noon arrived; yet the Sa-
SKIRTS, chem came not. There was a gloom
WRAPPERS, over the whole household. The
mother was pale and silent. Judge
W ■ — walked the floor to and fro,
going every few minutes to the door,
and looking through the opening in
the forest towards the Sachem’s
abode.
At last, as the rays of the setting
the trees around, the eagle feathers
of the chief were seen dancing above
the bushes in the distance. He ad
vanced rapidly—and the little boy
was at his side. He was gaily at
tired as a young chief—Iiis feet be
ing dressed in moccasins, a fine bea
ver skin was on his shoulders, and
eagle feathers were stuck in his hair.
He was in excellent spirits, and so
proud was he of his honors, thal he
seemed two inches taller than he
was before. He was soon in his
mother’s arms, and in that brief min
ute she seemed to pass from death to
life. It was a happy meeting—too
happy for me to describe. The
white man has conquered,’ said the
Sachem; ‘hereafter let us be friends.
You have trusted au Indian, he will
repay you with confidence and
friendship.’
He was as good as his word; and
Judge W lived for many }'ears
in peace with the Indian tribes, and
succeeded in laying the foundation
of a flourishing and prosperous com
munity.—Providence (R. I.) Herald.
A Wonderful Burning Well.
The Louisville Courier Journal
gives an account of a wonderful
burning well in Lincoln county, in
that State, some six miles east of
Crab Orchard, at the base of the
Cumberland mountains,on the hanks
of a small stream called Dix river.
The water in this well is in a con
stant state of ebullition, and regu
larly every day, between four and
five o’clock in the afternoon over
flows. A large quantity of gas is
liberated, said to be carbueretted
hydrogen gas, to which a light be
ing applied, a flame, sometimes ten
or fifteen feet in height, results.
The Journal tells the following
tory in connection with the well:
In the early part of the present
century, when Kentucky, and espe
cially the mountain districts, were
but sparsely settled, a man by the
name ot Shanks owned this portion
of Lincoln county in which the well
situated. At that lime all the
salt used in the Slate had to be
brought from Louisville or imported
from Virginia at a very large ex
pense, in tho^-e days of stage coach
es and covered wagons. Mr. Shanks
had evidence of salt on his land,
and determined upon trying wheth
er he might not find that commodity
by boring in the vicinity of his salt
licks. He sunk two or three shafts,
but unsuccessfully, when his neigh
bors began to laugh at “old Shanks’
folly.” He minded not a whit their
jeers, but swore that he would sink
one more shaft, if he bored clear
through into .
Sure enough, after boring to quite a
depth, his drill fell through, the drill
shaft was blown some distance into
the air by escaping gas, which ignit
ed Irom a fire near by, and even the
surface of the river itself formed one
broad sheet of flame. Oil flowed
out with the gas, which accounted
for the “river on fire,” but all this to
the spectators was incomprehensi
ble, and a general stampede from
the country round about resulted.
Old Shanks had been as good as his
word. He had bored clear through
into hell, and his neighbors fled
from the vicinity as from a pesti
lence, leaving growing crops, houses,
property of ali sorts behind in the
general terror. After a lapse of
years the vicinity was again settled,
but the well now inspires wonder
instead of the pristine fright.
Keep Straight Ahead.—Pay
no attention to slanderers or gossip-
mongers. Keep straight on your
course, and let their backbitings die
the death of neglect. What is the
use ot lying awake nights, brooding
over the remarksof some false friend,
that runs through your brain like
forked lightning ? What’s the use of
getting into a worry and fret over a
gossip that has been set afloat to
your disadvantage, by some med
dlesome busybody, who has more
lime than character ? These things
can’t possibly injure you, unless, in
deed, you take notice of them, and
in combatting them give them char
acter and standing. If what is said
about you is true, set yourself right
at once ; if it is false, let it go for
what it will fetch. If a bee sting
you, would you go to the hive aud
destroy it? Would not a thousand
come upon you ? It is wisdom to say
little respecting the injuries you
have received. We are generally
losers in the end, if we stop to re
fute all backbitings and gossipings
we may hear by the way. They
are annoying, it is true, but not dan
gerous, so long as we do not stop to
expostulate and scold. Our charac
ters are formed and sustained by
ourselves, and by our own actions
and purposes, and not by others.
Let us always bear in mind, that
“calumniators may usually be trust-
slow but steady
Light in the Sick Chamber.—The
quantity of light admitted into the
sick chamber is a matte* of immense
importance to its suffering occupant.
As light is an element of cheerful
ness, it is on that account desirable
that as much should be admitted as
the patient can hear without incon
venience. The light should be soft
and subdued and not glaiiug. Care
should be taken that blight, lustrous
objects, such as crystals and mirrors,
should be kept out of sight.
How to Rest.—The best mode
of resting when fatigued, depends
upon the cause '•> the fatigue, and
the condition of the person at the
time. There is one thing, however,
which will always rest a tired per
son, and that is a sponge or towel
bath over the entire surface of the
body, followed by a thorough rub
bing and friction of the surface. Of
course the temperature of the water
and the vigor and amount of tub
bing must be graduated to the
strength ot the pet son. When the
fatigue is mental, arising ftom over
exertion of the brain, jhe muscles
should be called into action, as by
walking, horseback riding, rowing,
playing ball, pitching quoits, gym
nastics, etc. General muscular fa
tigue is quickly relieved by lying on
the face and having some one rub
and percuss the back vigorously.
Also, but less readily, by lying flat
upon the back upon a hard couch or
bed, or upon the floor, with the
hands back of or under the head,
but the head not otherwise raised,
and taking full, deep breaths. Lo
cal muscular fatigue may be relieved
by changing position and bringing
oilier parts of the body in action.
Be Contented.—Bulwer says
that poverty is only an idea in nine
cases out ot ten. Some men with
$10,000 a year suffer more for want
of means than others with §500.
The reason is the richer man has his
artificial wants. His income is §10,-
000 a year, and he suffers enough by
being dunned for unpaid debts to
kill a sensitive man. A man who
earns a dollar a day and Joes not go
into debt is the happier of the two.
Very few people who have never
been rich will believe this, but it is
true. There are thousands and
thousands with princely incomes
w’ho never know a minute’s peace,
because they live beyond their
means. There is really more hap
piness among the workingmen in
the world than among those who are
called rich.—Scientific American.
There is hardly another sight in
the world, says Hawthorne in one
of his romances, so pretty as that of
company of young girls—almost
women grown—at play, and so giv
ing themselves up to their airy im
pulse that their tip-toes barely touch
the ground. Girls are so incompar
ably wilder and more effervescent
than boys, more untamable, and re
gardless of rule and limit, with an
evershifling variety breaking contin
ually into new inodes of fun, but
with a harmonious propriety through
all. Their steps, their voices ap
pear free as the wind, but keep con
sonance with a strain of music inau
dible to us. Young men and boys,
on the other hand, play according
to recognized law old traditionary
games, permitting no caprices of
fancy, but with scope enough for the
outbreak of savage instincts; tor,
young or old, in play or in earnest,
man is prone to be a brute.
A Beautiful Funeral.—Re
turning from the cemetery where so
many of the nation’s honored dead
repose,a funeral procession was met.
Slowly, and on foot, it was march
