About tho tlmo for ly Ing down,
She came and knelt. I was so small
There In my bed her curls did fall
All over mo light, gold and brown.
I fell asleep amid her prayers,
Her fair young face (tar off It seems,)
Iter girlish voice, her kisses Bwect,
Tho patter of her busy feet,
l'asscd mc Into charming dreams.
And when I nwoko at merry morn,
Through her gold hair I saw tho sun
Flame strong, shluo glad, and glorify
The great, good world, oh, ne er can I
Forget tho words : " Jly.darllng ono I"
Ah ! checkered years slnco then have crept
Past her and me, and wo havo known
Somo sorrow nnd much tempered Joy,
Fur Into manhood stands her boy,
And her gold hair snow-whlto Is flown.
The world has changed by slow degrees,
And as old day s rev Ivc, alas I
Ho much of trouble liavo tlio now,
Those rare far Joys grow dim, been through
Sad times as through a darkened glass.
Hut Just this morning, when I woko
How lovingly my Hps were kissed I
How chaste and clear tlio sunlight bhono

Athwart thin clouds of silver mist.

A Doomed Kate.
TIIU HISON OF Till! PLAINS HIS 1IABITH, UI.S
ENHMY AND HIS DOOM.
A correspondent writing from tlio Illnck
Hills gives tho following intorcsting facts
about the buffalo. The account reads like .1
fancy sketch, but any western man will testi
fy to its entire truthfulness:
Forty years ago the butTnlo ranged from
tho plains of Texas to beyond tho llritish
lines, from the Missouri nnd upper Missis
sippi to the eastern slopes of tho Kocky
mountains. Every portion of this immenso
area was either the permanent homo of great
numbers of buffalo, or might bo expected to
rive, each year, one or moro visits from mi
gratory thousands. Hunters' tradition says
that tho first great break in this regular ir-
cgularity occurred about the winter of 18-1 1-
15, in that portion of tho country known as
tho Laramio ' plains, That whole section
was visited by an extraordinary snow storm
Contrary to all precedent, there was 110 wind
and the snow covered tho surf.ieo evenly to
tho depth of nearly four feet.
Immediately after tho storm a bright sun
oftcned thesurf.ico which at night froze in
to a crust so firm that it was weeks before
any heavy animal could headway over it
The Laramio plains being entirely surround'
cd by mountain!), had alvvayH been 11 favor-
ito wintering: place for tho buffalo. Thous
ands were caught in this storm nnd perished
miserably bv starvation. Since that time
not a single buffalo has ever visited tho Lar
amio plains. When I crossed tho plains in
1808, tho whole country was dotted with
skulls of buffaloes, all in tlio last stages of
decomposition, nnd all apparently of the
atne age, giving somo foundation for tho
tradition. Indeed, it was in answer to my
request for explanation of tho numbers, uj
pcaranco and identity of ago of tho skulls
that tho tradition was related to mc by an
old hunter, who, however, could not himself
ouch for tho facts.
A curious fact illustrating the habits of
these monarehs of the plains is cited by our
author, as is a leaf from tho unwritten his
tory of the bull'.ilo, taken from the era when
the Pacific railways first spanned tho conti
nent. The winter of 1871-72 was unusually
scvero in Arkansas. Tho ponds and thu
pmaller streams of tlio north wero all frozen
solid, and tlio bull'alo wero forced to tho riv
ers for water.
The Atchison, Topcka and S.mta I'o rail
road was then in process of construction,
and nowhero could tho peculiarity of the
buffalo, of which I am speaking bo better
Btuddied than from its trains. If a herd was
on tho north sido of tho track it would stand
stupidly gazing and without symptom of
alarm, though tho locomotivo passed within
1 hundred yards. If on tho south hido o
tlio track, oven though at n dlstanco of ono
or two miles from it, tlio passage of 11 trail:
set tho wliolo herd in tho wildest commotion
At its full speed, and utterly icgardlcss o
consequence, it would mako for tho track
011 its lino of treat. If tho train happened
not to bo in its path it crossed tho track, and
stopped satisfied. If tho train was in tlio
way each individual bull'.ilo went at it witli
tho doiperation of despair, plunging against
or between locomotivo and car, just ns tho
blind madness chanced to tako them, Num
bcrs wero killed, but numbers still piessce
on to stop and staro ns soon ns tho obstacle
was passed.
Alter having trains ditched tvrico in 0110
week, conductors learned to havo a very do
cided respect for tho idiosyncntclcs of tho
bull'.ilo, and when thero was a possibility 0:
striking a herd "011 tho rampago" for tho
north sido of tho track, tho train was slowed
up and sometimes stopped entirely, Lato in
tho summer of 18117 a herd of probably -1,000
bull'.ilo attempted to cross tho Southern
Platto near Plum t'roek, 1 ho river was rap
idly subsiding, being nowhero over a foot or
two in depth, and tho channels wero filling
witli looso quicksand, Tho buffalo in front
wero hopelessly stuck, Those immediately
behind, urged 011 by tho horns and pressuro
of those yet further in tho rear, trample
over their struggling companions to bo
themselves engulfed in tho devouring Band
This wiu continued until the bed of the river
nearly half n, ratio broad, was covered with
dead nnd dying bulTalo. Only n compara
tive few crossed tlio river, nnd these were
soon driven back by hunters. It was esti
mated that considerably moro than half tho
herd, or over 2,000 buffalo, paid for tills nt
tempt with their lives.
There Is n very marked nnd curious (llfler
enco between buffaloes nnd domestic cattle.
Tho cow seems lo possess scarcely n trnco of
maternal instinct, and when frightened will
abandon her calf without tho slightest hesi
tation. Tho duty of protecting tlio calf de
volves entirely upon tho bulls.
I havo seen evidences of this many times,
but tho most remarkable instauco I havo
ever heard of was related to ino by an nrmy
surgeon, who was an cyo witness. Ho was
ono evening rcturnitm to camp after a day's
hunt, when his attention vras attracted by
ic ciinou action of n llttlo knot of six or
eight bull'alucs. Approaching sulllcicntly
near to boo clearly, ho discovered that this
llttlo knot wero all bulls, standing in n close
rclo with their heads outward, whllo in a
concentric circlo at somo twelve or fifteen
ct distant sat licking their chops in im
patient expectancy at least n dozen largo
gray wolves, excepting man, tho most dan
gerous enemy of the bufi'alo.
The doctor determined to watch tho per
formance. After a few moments the knot
broke up, still keeping in .1 compact mass,
nd started on a trot for tho main herd, somo
half a mile off. To his very great astonish-1
mcnt tho doctor now saw that tho central
and controlling figure of tho mass was .1
poor littlo calf, so newly born as scarcely to
bo able to walk. After going -fifty or n hun
dred yards tho calf laid down. Tho bulls
isposed themselves in n circleas before, and
the wolves who had trotted along on cacli
unk of their retreating supper, sat down
and licked their chops again. This was re-
catcd time and again, atul although tho
doctor did not see tho finale, it being late
and the camp distant, ho had no doubt that
the noblo fathers did their wliolo duty by
their oll'spritig and carried it safely to tho
herd.
When feeding, tho herd is moro or less
icattcrcd, but on the approach of danger it
closes and rounds into a tolerably compact
circular mass. Although there is not .1 par
ticle of danger in approaching such a herd,
in it a novice requires an extraordinary
amount of nerve. When ho gets within 800
yards, Iho bulls on that side, with head erect
tail cocked in air, nostrils expanded, and
eyes that seem to flash liro even to that dis
tance, walk uneasily to and fro, menacing
the intruder by pawing tho earth and tossing
their hugehcads. Tho enemy still approacU-
ng, some bull will face him, lower his head
and start on a most furious charge. Hut,
alas for brute courage 1 when he has cone
twenty or thirty yards Mr. Hull thinks bet
ter of it, stopj, stares an instant, and then
trots back to the herd. Another and another
will try tho same game, witli tlio same result
and if in spite of these ferocious demonstra
tions tlio hunter still approaches, tho wholo
ierd will take incontinently to its heels.
This bullying proclivity combined with his
natural indisposition to get out of tho way,
has been tho cause of tho death of thous
ands at tho hands of men to whom bull'alo
killing was no novelty, who needed no meat,
and would not havo gono fifty yards out of
their way to kill ; but in whom opportunity
so roused that spirit of murder which is in
herent in every sportsman's breast, that the
temptation was too strong to bo resisted.
Tlio Language of Signs.
A Spanim ambassador, of princely birth,
accredited to tho Court of St. James, dining
with King James tho First, of England, ex
pressed his ideas to tho King that ho was
always of tlio opinion that somo codo of
signs might be established whereby n uni
versal understanding could bo obtained
among nations of different languages. Tho
King, a vain monarch, and anxious to dis-
lay to tho ambassador tlio resources nf his
kingdom, immediately answered that ho had
limself given this subject much attention,
that ho had instituted a chair of language in
one of his northern universities. Tho am
bassador,,in ecstasies, insisted that ho should
set out immediately, and realize tlio visions
of his youth. The remonstrance of tho King
as to tho perils and distance of tho journey,
Ac, was of no avail, and tho ambassador
started on his journey. Although tho King
was a notorious boaster, lie did not wish
that foreign courts should loso respect for
urn, and started couriers post liasto to ap
prise tlio city, and promised his favor to gel
him out 0 the scrape. It so happened that
there was n butcher in tlio city who had only
0110 eye, but brass enough for a dozen. The
provost and magistrates accordingly in sol
emn council assembled, after tho arrival of
tlio king's message, summoned tho butcher
to their pieciico and oll'ercd him a rich re
ward if ho would go by their directions. Ho
was accordingly initiated into tlio mysteries,
which was to bo silent, whatever was spok
en ; .ami the second to get acciistomwi to
milking a bow in a professor's regimentals.
Tlio ambassador a hist arrived, and was
received with great honors. According to
his desiie, ho was immediately ushered into
tlio hall where tho great professor was in
waiting. Tlio ambassador, 011 cntering.bow
cd tho professor bowed; tho ambassador
held 1111 0110 finger tlio professor held up
two fingers j tho ambassador held up thrco
tho professor closed his fist; tho ambassador
took an orange out ot his pocket tlio pro
fessor took somo oat-nical crumbles out of
his pocket ; the ambassador then bowed and
retired to tho council, who wero anxiously
waiting tlio result of tlio interview.
They inquired, with somo trepidation, tho
result of tho interview. "Oh, it was grand,"
replied tho ambassador. "When I entered
I bowed, by which I meant to say, I respect
your learning, 1110 proiessor uovveu 111s
thanks to mo. I held up 0110 linger, to
say lucre is ono Wod, lio held up two,
meaning, You havo forgotten tho Son,
held up threo lingers, to acknowledge tho
Holy Trinity, Ho held up his lut, meaning
they nro 0110. I showed him nil orange, to
show him tho production of my country.
Ho showed 1110 somo oat'iucal bread, to re
mind 1110 that nature was good to nil. Oh,
ho is n wonderful man 1"
The butcher said: "Tho fool camo into
tlio room and looked at his shoes, and I look
oil nt iiiliie. Ho held up 0110 finger, to tell
ino that I had but 0110 eye. I held up two
fingers, to let him know that my 0110 cyo
was as good m his two. Ho held up threo
fingers, to let mo know that wo had but thrco
eyes between us, I took that ns an insult
and shook my fist at him. Hq saw I was
angry, nnd oll'ercd 1110 an orange, but I told
him oat-meal bread was better,"
Restraint of Social Life.
It Is common supposition that wealth nnd
station bring with them n proportionate free
dom of action. Tho poor long for riches,
not merely for tho ako of tho increased
comforts and opportunities they offer, but al
so for the blessed privilege, which they think
they would then enjoy, of doing ns they
please. Something of this is undoubtedly
true, Plentiful means tako of tho grinding
necessity of continuous labor in ono direc
tion, although often the caro nnd anxiety
that are substituted prove ns heavy a burden
to bear. " Hut in many other points tlio drift
Is in exactly tho opposite direction. Tlio
order, dignity, ctiquctto and ceremony of tho
wealthy classes Impose checks and restraints
which would bo instipportablo to those un
accustomed to them. Probably 110 family
in nil. England do less "ns they please" than
the royal family. They aro bound by innu
merable forms, checked by tho most abso
lute laws, aud restrained within tho narrow
limits of court etiquette as to their most tri
vial actions. Of course, ns monarchy de
clines, these restraints bocomo less severe;
yet even in our own republican land they
aro by 110 means, wanting. Perhaps it is not
possible, nor advisable, that they should
over wholly cease. Wherever order reigns
these checks upon impulse must exist.
Even tlio stated meals and tho general de
corum of a decent household impose a cer
tain restraint upon all its members, which
would not bo felt if tho loaf wero always
handy, and nothing intervened .between tho
sonso of want and its immediate satisfaction.
At tho timo when forks wero first invented,
certain protests wero made against them un
der tho pica that "God gave men good meat
and they wero become too proud to touch it
witli their fingers," when, no doubt, tho real
objection to them lay in thotri.il of patienco
which tlio new method imposed, and tlio de
lay to tho satisfaction of appetite which it
caused to tho uninitiated. Sucli simple re
finements uso has now changed from painful
restraints to necessary comforts; but from
them, up to the complicated etiquette of n
Chinese Court, which is said to roquire years
to learn, thero is a series of steps, each one
placing an additional check upon tho im.
pulses, and causing an increased delay in
tlio satisfaction of the desires. Every
thoughtful person, in whatever rank of life
ho moves, is conscious of these social re
straints in some degree, and thoso who live
in the humblest and simplest manner may
find a material com. ensation for their pri
vations 111 their freedom from tho many re
strictions which tho stylo and form of a
high station imposes.
It becomes, however, n serious quest!on,
which wo should fairly settle for ourselves,
how far it is wise and right to submit to
these social check, and at what point wc
should resist them. Of course no abstract
rules can guide us in this matter. What is
a troublesome luxury, or a needless form, in
one country or age, is a necessary comfort or
a gentle courtesy in another; different cir
cles nnd different positions demand a certain
degree of conformity to prevalent custom.
Yet, with every allovvanco for these differ
ences, there is still a wide margin for our
choice There is a certain degrco of con
ventional regulations which is simply rude,
and subverts social order without any good
result. To appear in company witli negli
gent attire, to omit small tokens of respect,
lo cat in a haty and uncouth manner, to in
dulgo in any habits offensive to tho feelings
of others, will simply render the offender an
intolerable nuisance, and shut him out from
tlio society which he thus insults.
There is, however, far more danger of tho
other extreme. We aro not so apt to be
dazzled by the glitter of a stylo of living be.
yond our own, that we aro willing to sacri
fice much real comfort, time, money,thouglit,
and even principle, to imitato it. In tho
one matter of dress, for example, it is as
tonishing to see how gladly mauy persous
will lay down their individuality, their ta-te,
their comfort, their health nnd their judg
ment at the shrino of fashion. Others, to
satisfy tho supposed claims of politeness,
will forfeit sincerity nnd truth ; or, to copy
the stylo in which tho wealthy live, they
will part witli their domestic freedom and
happy simplicity, and sometimes witli even
integrity itself. To gain admission to somo
coveted circle, or to retain their positions in
it, somo will sacrifice trno friendship and
good advice ; or, to avoid tlio sneer of an
evil companion, they will relinquish their
innocence and peace of mind. All such
checks upon our self-respect and purity, up
on our good scn.-o and comfort, and upon
our health nnd happiness, vo should resist
will all tho powers wo possess. No hocial
restraints should ever bo permitted to bind
our sense of duty, to fetter our generous im
pul-es, to curtail our domestic joys, or to in
terfere witli physical health nnd mental pro
gross, ihoso on tlio other mum that aro
purifying and elevating in their influence,
that check kclfishncss and curb evil passions,
wo should welcome as benefactors; whilo
thoso which are simply innocent and harm
less regulations nt social custom wo may
willingly observe, bcc.iuso they oil thowhcels
of social life and prevent unpleasant friction.
It will require all our judgment and diocro
tion wisely to discriminate between theso
various kinds of social restraints, and to de
cide tho limit of their authority over us;
but tho very effort to do this is in itself an
important culture, and will yield good fruits
in strengthening moral principlo and clcva
ting tho character.
Thero is a good story of General Sheridan
in tills week's Independent. Tho ltev. Win
M. Hakcr says ; "Tlio papers cay that Gen
Sheridan is to bo married to-day. Perhaps
so ; but I am not so certain of it, remember
ing an anecdote in regard to tlio General
when I was for a few days, if not upon his
stall", assuredly within his circle. A youug
lady, it seems, was quito desirous tho bril
liant labreur, who was sojourning under tlio
same roof, should tako a walk with her, Ho
declined doing so upon tho pica of threaten
ing weather. A little while afterward de
tcctcd him stealing out of tho front door
alone. Upon charging him witli the incon
'slstency of ids conduct ho replied : 'Ym.
Mis, yes.' Tlio weather is too bad for two
of us, but I thought it might be good cnougl
for one."
Tlio abovo "good story," now going tho

For many years past thero has been yield
ed to New England n supremacy In educa
tional nnd other matters, for which thero is
no posslblo justification. In our geogra
phies wo are gravely informed that New
England ha; long been distinguished for tho
intelligence, iudustry and enterprise of her
citizens; and, in our School Histories, threo
times as much space li devoted to tlio Pil
grim Fathers, witchcraft, nnd her general
colonial history of her sister colonics. With
a persistency wo cannot help admiring her
claims for superior Intelligence nnd progress
havo been so much pressed, that ono igno
rant of tho facts of tho caso might well sup
pose that tho rest of tho States might consid
er it .1 high honor to revolve around New
England ns an cducationnl centre.
Hut facts nnd figures, it is said do not lie,
nnd statistics examined and compared, dem
onstrate conclusively the hollowness of her
prctenslous clnlms. To nsscrt that in Mns
sachusctU, the "Hanncr State," with Hoston, ,
tho "Hub," tho modern Athens, thero oxists
more pauperism in proportion to its popula
tion than any other State in tho Union,
more insufficient prisons, and more unsuita
ble lunatic asylums, might excito surprise,
but statistics provo that such is really the
case. Hut in this articlo wo desiro to speak
purely of her educational claims, nnd in
doing so, we shall tako tho benefit of somo
very interesting statistics furnished us in n
recent report of tlio United State Commis
sioner of Education. Our authority, it will
be observed, is unusually good, It is, as it
were, tlio month of New England herself, for
he is n man full fledged and thoroughly im
bued witli her peculiar ideas.
Now, wherever thero is a demand for high
er culture, wherever thero is a desiro for per
fection in education, colleges will flourish
and higher institutions of learning prevail.
Such institutions are tlio nntural out-crop-pings
nnd fiuils of progress, and yet Penn
sylvania claims thirty-four colleges, and nil
New England but eighteen. Hut universal
education is not tho fruit of .1 collegiate
course. The poor never enjoy tlio advant
ages of such trainiug nnd aro dependant for
tho little knowlcdgo they acquire upon the
tho ordinary low grade of schools. The abil-
ty to read and write among classes is the
best test of nn educated people. What are
the slatictics on this point? Now England
as a population of 3,487,444, Pennsylvania,
515,093. Yet New England has 87,000
ho cannot read nor write, and Pennsylva
nia lias but 75,000. Nor has New England
made any progress in this respect. In 1S40
New England had 14,000 who could not
read nor write, and Pennsylvania 38,000,yet
New England, witli less population, has in
creased tho number six times, whilo Penn
sylvania merely doubles. Maine, the land
lumber and ice, increases from throe
ousand to nine thousand.
Female education also demonstrates the
interest aud advancement of people in cdti-
itional matters. Civilization, progress nnd
refinement gohand-iu-hnudwith female cul
ture. Hut, what say the statistics on this
point? Take Massachusetts, for example.
She sent a multitude of "school inarms" to
educate tho suffering frcedmcn of tho South-
She has a population of 1,457,352, yet the
excess of uneducated women over the educa
ted women is 12,000, while in Pennsylvania,
ith nearly threo times its population, tlio
cxecss is but 17,000. In view of these statis-
ics wc can afford to say, "O, New England,
keep thy school inarms and educational mis
sionaries at home ; first pull out tho beam
hich is in thino own cyo, then shalt thou
seo clearly to pull out tho moto that is in thy
sister's eye." Xational Kducator.
