A GAME DUSKER. Shortly after the war with Great Britain, an j aristocratic English gentleman built a residence : in the vicinity of ; Fort George, on the Niagara ‘ frontier, and, in accordance with the old conn- j try idea exclusiveness,' he enclosed his grounds i with a high tight fence. Here be lived like an I old English Gentleman— one of tfc olden time —with the exception that none but the elite of the province and the officers of the neighboring garrisons, were permitted to pass his gate.— j There was a very good understanding between ) the A met loan officers at Fort George, and Lite j men were permitted occasionally to visit back and forth. Among the American soldiers was a j queer chap, stuttered terribly, was very ! fond of hunting; and was always getting into mischief. One day this chap took the small boat lay moored at the foot of the walls of the fort, and crossed oyer‘to the Canadian shore to have a hunt. Jle wandered over several, miles in the rear of Fort Gcorige without meeting any game, and hia return seeing a crow on a tree within the inclosure of the aristocratic Englishman, he sealed the high fence, fired, and brought down his game. Colonel;, or whatever his title may have been—we will call him Colonel, any how witnessed the transaction and advanced while our soldier was reloading. He was very angry, but seeing the Yankee standing cooly with a loaded gun in his hands, he gulped down his anger for a moment, and merely asked him if he had killed the crow. The soldier replied he did. “I am sorry,V ,sald the Colonel, •' for he was a pet. By tpe by, that is a' pretty gun— will you be so kind as to let me look at it ?’’— The soldier complied with the request. The Englishman took the gun and stepped back a few paces, and then broke forth in a tirade of abuse, concluding with an order to stoop down and take a bite of the crow or he would blow out his brains. The soldier explained apologi zed, and entreated. It was of no use. The Col onel kept his fingers on* the trigger, and sternly repeated bis command. There was a shot in the Englishman’s eye ; there was no help for it, and the stuttering sol dier stooped down, and took p bite of the crow, but swallow it he could not. Up came his breakfast, and it appeared os if he would throw up his toe nails. The Englishman gloated at the'inisery of bis victim, and smiled complacent ly at every additional heave. When he had got through vomiting and wiped his eyes, the Colo nel handed him his gun, with the remark. “ Now, you rascal, that will teach you how to poach on a gentleman’s enclosure.” The Yankee soldier took his gun, and the Colpnel might have seen the devil in his eye if be had looked close. Stepping back, be took deliberate aim at the hgart of bis host and or dered him instantly to finish the crow. Angry expostulation, prayers and entreaties, were use less things. There was shoot in the American eye then as there had been in the English eye before. There was no help at hand, and he took a bite of the crow. One bite was enough to send all the good dinner be had lately eaten on the same journey with the garrison fare of the soldier,' ani while the Englishman was in jan agony of sickness, Jonathan escaped to the American .shore. - The,next morning, early, the commandant of Niagara was sitting in his quarters, when Colo* nel- was announced. “Sir,” said Colonel ——, “ I come to demand the punishment of one of your men who yesterday entered my premisses, and committed a great outrage.” “We hare three hundred men here, and it dt’t tr<i ’ [iJTDEPKNDIKT IN £¥X£TTHXN6.] r : would be difficult for me to know who it is you mean,” said the officer. The Englishman described him as a long, dangling, stuttering, stoop shouldered devil.— “ Ah ! I know who you mean,” said the officer ; “he is always getting into mischief. Orderly call Torn.’' v ' In a few moments Tom entered and stood at tention, as straight aa N his natural build would allow, while not a trace of emotion was visible in his countenance “Tom,” taid the officer, “’do you know this gentleman ?” “ Ye-yc-yc-yes, sir ?” “ Where did you ever set him before ?” “I-I-I,” said Tom stuttering awfully, bat re taining the grave expression natural to his face, “ I didl-di-dined wi-h him yesterday.” W? believe Tom was not punished. —lndiana Senthd. DO.VT BE AFRAID. In c.-.r every day anxieties and cures, tbqre is a great amount of fearfulness connected with and engendering from the many little annoyan ces incident thereto. In each and every pur suit of life, much is to be found that Linders freedom of sentiment and action. Independence of character is professedly a ruling passion with many, and yet how sadly wanting iu all ; for those having the most are still capable of receiv ing more of this priceless treasure. A great many are afraid they are not acting as becomes honesty and rectitude ; this #iass are to be pit ied and encouraged to do tbMfest they can with the aid of God. But a great"” many more are (tfraid if they do not act thus and so they will be talked about, and so they get on one si !e of principle, in order to appear of great merit in the eyes of other people, basely crushing purity of heart into hypocritical nothingness ; afraid of doing right, such individuals may be heard to whisper, “ They'll say,' 1 I would visit that poor sick fami-y over there, but • • they'll say.' 1 1 would take them a few little necessary articles which they rfever dream of possessing through disease and poverty ; it may be the means of re storing the widowed mother to health so that she may nourish and direct her little ones ; cr. that boy may yet get up and be able to work ; and, while it costs me nothing but picking up a few bits of what wiil be wasted, I will go.— But stop a moment, “ wbat will they say ?” Why, just this, “did you know Mrs.—■ — went to see that poor family over the way the other day, and took provision and clothing to them and they are getting better hud coming out, and of course will visit her in return! If she equalizes herself with such poor folks as they say they are, I'll have nothing to do with her, that's all.” And so, since 1 have thought about it. I'll not go, for I do not wish to lose an associate high up in society, for the sake of doing one act of charily, and with a “ May God help the poor, for I can't,” she abandons the thought, soliloquizing as she turns “ they'd say.' Now, to such people as those I'll say, I do not think you are in the path which was pointed out for us to walk in ; so long as wc care what thoy say, just so long we are swerving from principle True moral courage is the thing we need to in sure happiness, and to obtain this cowardice must got out with her skulking visage and give room for manly upright independence, for it is plain these two cannot exist together. Don't be afraid of what the world says, but persevere in the right and then you won t care, as right will reign despite abuse. Don't be afraid, des ponding one, when you have exerted every fac ulty iu your power to maintain your elution in life in honor. What though you are ready to sink in adver sity, what though friends forsake and foes in vade, though all worldly prospects are so dull and gloomy, do not give up; do your duty ; pro claim the'right upon the house-tops, not think ing'of what they'll say. If all would espouse tlm cause of moral independence of spirit and act thereon, I am persuaded that great good would be effected by it. When all would be true to each other, slanderers would get ashamed, they fay would be hushed, and nobody would listen to what nobody said about everybody, and thus throw i this notorious body into obscurity.— Don’t bu afraid, young man or lady, if you are not quite so conspicuous as others, remember ’tis not all gold that glitters. Do not fear, stu dent, if you are not always head in your class (though 1 would advise you always to try to be there,} for not always the quickest scholars make the most influential members of society. A great part of the greatest persons that the world has produced, had little or no advantages of ed ucation, but were self-made instruments of use fulness, and so can you be too, if you just press onward. It differs not how poor or how low down you are: if you just set the resolution to be some body, to abandon evil habits and rise in the world, you can do it. Bet a mark up high, and press toward it, let onward be your motto, up ward be your aim, and' march boldly forward ; and, above all, don’t be afraid of what they say, and then you’ll succeed.

I Some mea are Boastful of their ancestry, J while others are entirely devoid of all pridd of birth, and have no more respect for the geneol ogical table of their forefathers than they have for Poor Richard’s Almanac. The late John Randolph of Roanoke used to assert his belief that he was descended from the celebrated In dian Princess, Pocahontas, but it is not known that he established his claim to that distinction. Many years ago there lived in a near State a young gentleman who took it into his head that, like John Randolph, ho was of Indian descent, though, unlike John, he did not know exactly the tribe to which he belonged. The idea w*as a perfect monomania with him, notwithstanding the efforts of his fricuo-. »« r.f pretensions, to say nothing of tiro absurdity. The favorite notion, however, could not be eradicated from his miad, and he prom ised Lis friends that he would one day convince them that he was right in his claims! Having heard that a deputation of Indians wore at Washington, on a visit- to their great father, the President, he promptly repaired to the city, and arranging with the gentleman who sad them in charge, his friends in the city were I surprised to receive nn invitation to accompany him on a visit to the Red Men, before whom he proposed to verify bis favorite pretensions. The parlies met as requested, and found the Indians sitting on the floor smoking their pipus, and manifesting but little appreciation of the honor of the visit. v ■ . Haring arranged hia friends,at a respectful distance from the aged chief, who still regarded the visitors with stolid indifference, the yotmg ttiin stepped boldiy from the centre, and pre satuing that it would require some show of en ergy to arouse the chiefs from their apparent apathy, he placed his band on hia breast, and said with great fearlessness: “ -Me—ludian—long time ago " Iho chief, v h j w is not skilled in talking En glish, toon iii j nine from his month hut evinced no emotion whatever. The speakerithen think ing that a more violent gesture and a louder tone would be necessary, struck his hand upon ins breast with much force, and said; in a louder tone: ■; “ I es—me Indian long time ago.” Without moving a muscle of his face, the old cbiet slowly arose from his sitting posture, and turned his eagle eye upon the speaker. His friends say that the chief evidently understood or at least appeared to understand the meaning or itie speccti tuhjissscj to turn ; and they gazed intently on the Solemn proceeding. The young man bore the searching glance of the Indian without emotion.

All stood breathless. Quietly with drawing his hand, the chief uttered the slight peculiar Indian grunt, and said “ Nig.” This altogether unexpected denouement, ended ,the interview, and the discomfitted descendant of tiie Tommyhawks retired with his friends, the latter roaring with laughter, and the former fil led with a most sovereign contempt for hia de generated Indian relations. Wily do Children Die. The reason why children die, says Eal Vi. Journal 0/ Hc-dih, is because they are noi taken care of. From the day of birth they are stuffed with food, choked with physic, sloshed with water, eudocated in hot rooms, steamed in ned clothes. So much for iu doers. permit ted to brgtthe a breath of pure air opce k ireek in summer, and once or twice daring the cold est months, only the nose is permitted to peep into daylight. A little later they are sent out with no clothes at all, as to the parts of the body that most need protection. Bare legs, bare arms, bare necks, girded middlemost,.with an inverted umbrella to collect the ait and chill the other parts of the body. A stout, strong man goes out on a cold day with gloves and overcoat, woolen stockings and thick double soled boots with cork between and rubbers over. The same day a child of three years old, on jn fant in flesh and blood and bone‘and constitu tion, goes out with os thin as paper, cotton socks, legs uncovered to the knees, neck bare, an exposure which would disable the nurse, kill the mother in a fortnight, add make the father an invalid for weeks. And why ?—To harden them to a mole of dress which they arc never expected to practice. They accustom them to exposure which a dozen years later- would be considered downright foolery. To rear children thus for the slaughter pen, and then lay it to the Lord, is too bad. We don’t think the Al mighty has any hand in it. Ami to draw com fort from the presumption that he an agency' in the death of a child, is a presumption and- a profanation.

Johny Moor is the came of a hrighUyed, jol ly faced lad, twelve or fourteen years of age, whose invalid and widowed nether, living oa Morgan street, he helps, to snpport by the sale of newspapers and such errands ss be may chance to fall in with. Yesterday morning he chanced to stumble against a large pocket* book, which he picked up and found to contain a large number of bank -notes and papers. While he was meditating on the sudden rich es he had amassed, and which he had slid into a capacious pocket, or perhaps racking Us youthful mind whether to seek for the owner or conceal his good fortune, a gentl Oman rushed by wmcif looking for something, and he thought he knew what, “ Have you lost anything t” asked Johnney. “ Ves, my pocket-book,” was the gentleman’s answer, “have you seen it?” The little fetlow “expected” he had; he didn’t know, though. What kind of a pocket-book was it ? “ This led. to an adjournment to a neighboring store; where the flushed and almost breathless individual “ of the first part” proceeded to say that the pocket book was a black one, contain* ing $ 1 ,£OO in bank bila and some accounts, strip of red morocco binding underneath the flap being inscribed “ Robert Thomas, Coving* ton, Kj.” The description tallied, and John* ney’s eves snapped with cheerfulness as he placed the-treasure jest as. he had found it into the stranger’s hand ; and we opine there was a greater jo; in that one act than $lO,OOO could have purchased at the expense of a guilty con science. Mr. Thomas hardly seemed to know which to feel most relief on : thp recovery of his money and papers, or gratitude to the lad and admira* tiou of his honesty. Taking Johnny by the hand, whose bounding heart (he knew not why) had by this time “ splashed tears into bis eyes,” the gentleman took him to a clothing store and dressed him out from top to toe, in a bran new suit Then proceeding to a jeweler store he purchased a good silver watch, upon which he directed to be engraved these words; “Rob ert Thomas to Little Johnny Moot. St Louis, September 3, 1809. Honesty is the beat of pol icy.” Not even content with this, the generous stranger placed in a. neat bead purse fire twen* ty-dollar gold pieces which he directed the la 4 to give bis mother.

What if they are calico, or plain white bor der, tassels, or any such thing? Let the rains come down; heap up the fire. No matter if you hav’nt a candle to bless yourself with, for what a beautiful light glowing coal makes, rendering clouding, shedding a sunset through the room ; just enough to talk by, not loud, os in the high ways ; nor rapid, as in the hurrying world, hut softly, slowly, whisperingly, with pauses be tween, far the storm without'and the thoughts within to fill up.
