Whose hearts are kind and true ;
For tue heaven that smiles above me,
And await S-my spirit too
For all human ties that hind me—
For the {ask by God assigned me—
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the gobd that I can do.
I live to leamtheir story,
Who’ve bufftired for my s&ko—
To emulate their glory,
Aod.follow Ju their wake.
Banin, patriot*, martyrs, sage*,
The noble of all apes.
Whose deeds crowd history’s page*,
And Time’s great volume make.
I live to hold
M ith all that is divine—
To feel there i h a uuiou
’Twixt Nature's heart and mine—
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from field*, of fiction,
Grow winur fiom con nation*
And fulfill each great design.
I live to bail tiiaf ieaaon
By gift'd minds foretold :
When men shall live ty reuaoS
And not alone by gold—
' When man toman united.
And evt.-ry wrong thing righted.
The whole vroHd shall be lighted
As £<U*n was of aM.
I live for tho*e who love Di?^
For those who know me true —
For the Ucaveii that ©miles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For the cause that lacks cazittance*
For the wrong; that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

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

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.

| TRACING A PEDIGREE.
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. Ail felt “ that the time had
come
Moving sufficiently close to the speaker, the
chief raised his hand, and carefully taking a
cock oi the young man's hair between his finger
and thumb, gently rubbed it between them for
a moment. 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.

REWARD OF WONESTY.
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. St. Louis Republican.
Home and Wife.
Happy is the man who has a little home, end
a little cngel in it, of a Saturday night. A
house, no matter how little, provided it will
bold two or so—no matter bow hurqbly furnish

blow—close the curtains.
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.
Then wheel the sofa round before ths fire; no
matter if the sofa is n settee, nncushioncd at
that, if-so be it ia just long enough for two and
a half in it How sweetly the mask of silver
bells from the time to come falls on th? listen

chimes of “ the days that are no more.”
Under such eirontnstances, and at a
time one can get at least sixty-nine and a half
statute miles nearer “ kingdom come'" than any
other point in this world laid down in “ Malta

a secret between us,, vir: it is a copy of a pic
