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 ing toward the East. A little rose wood coffin mutely but eloquently told the story of the death of some body’s baby—somebody's blue-eyed darling—and the story that a moth er’s tears were falling thick and fast and thal a father’s heart was wrung with agony. The burial case con taining the little body once animated by the soul which has already heard the soft music of the welcome, “Suf fer little children to come unto me,” was guarded by six maidens clothed in virgin while. They were the pall-bearers, and three walked on each side of the bier, which was garlanded with flowers. The pro cession followed on—bow far? only up to the portal of the tomb. Mor tal feet could not follow the shining steps of the little one on the golden shore.—Patriot. ed to time and the sun were thrown upon the tops of justice of public opinion.” Some girls will never learn to re strain the natural impulses of their nature. A minister was baptizing a girl at Ripon, Wis., and when he had submerged her and came out of the water, he asked her how she felt in her mind. Her answer was, ‘All hunky, only a little wet.’ There were manufactured in the United States last year over a half million sewing machines.
