TRUSTING AN INDIAN CHIEF ; ' -OR,- Confidence Returned.---A Fact. One of the first settlers in western New York was tludge W., who established himself Whitestown, about four miles from Utica. Ile brought his family with him, among whom was a widowed daughter with an only child, a fine boy of about four years old. You will recollect that the country,around was an un broken forest, and this was the domain of the savage tribes. Judge W. saw the necessity of keeping on good terms with the Indians, for as he was nearly alone, he was completely at their mer cy. Accordingly, he took every opportunity to assure them of his kindly feelings, and to secure their good will in return. Several of the chiefs came to see him, and all appeared pacific. But there was one thing that troub led him; an aged chief of the Seneca Tribe, and one of great influence, who resided at a distance of about six miles, had not yet been to see him; nor could he by any means ascer tain the feelings and Views of the Sachem, in respect to his settlement in that region.— At last he sent him a message, and the an swer was, that the chief would visit him on the morrow. 2 25 5 57 True to his appointment; the Sachem came, Judge W. received him with marks of re spect, and introduced his wife, his daughter, and the little boy. The interview that follow ed, was deeply interesting. trpon its results, the Judge conceived his security might de pend, and he was, therefore, exceedingly anx ious to make a favorable impression upon the distinguished chief. He_ expressed to him his desire to settle in the country, to live on terms of amity and good fellowship with the Indians; to be useful to them by introducing among them the - arts of -civilization. The chief. heard him out, and then said, "Brother, you ask much and you promise much; what pledge can you give of your faith ?" 24 SO 1 G 6 7 10 21 36 "The honor of a man that never knew de ception," was the reply. "The white man's word may be good to the white man, yet it is but wind when spo ken to the Indian," said the Sachem. "I have put my life in your hands," said the Judge; "is not this an evidence of my good intentions ? I have - placed confidence in the Indian, and I will not believe he will abuse or betray the trust that is thus reposed." " So much is well," replied the chief; "the Indian will repay confidence ; if you trust him, ho will trust you. But I must have a pledge. Let this boy go with me to my wig wam ; I will bring. him back in three days with my answer. If an arrow had pierced the bosom of the mother, she could not have felt a deeper pang than went to her heart, as the Indian made this proposal. She sprang from her seat, and rushing to the boy who stood at the side of the Sachem, looking into his face with pleas ed wonder and admiration; she encircled him in her arms, and pressing him close to her bosom, was about to fly from the room. A gloomy and ominous frown came over the Sa chem's brow, but he did not speak. , 'Bat not so with. Judge W. He knew that the success of the enterprize, the very lives of the family depended on the decision of the moment. " Stay, stay, my daughter !" said he. "Bring back the boy,l beseech you.— / would not risk whair of his Bead. He is \ • not more dear to you than me. But, .my child, ho must go with the chief. God will watch over him. He will be as safe in the Sachem's wigwam "as beneath our roof and in your arms. I shall not attempt to describe the agony of the mother for the three ensuing days.— She was agitated by contending hopes and fears. In the night she awoke from her sleep, seeming to hear the screams of her child call ing upon its mother for help! But the time wore away—and the third day came. How slowly did the hours pass I The morning wa ned away ; noon arrived, and the afternoon was far advanced ; yet the sachem came not. There was gloom over the whole household. The mother was pale and silent, as if despair was settling coldly around her heart. Judge W. walked - to -and fro, - going every few min utes to the door, and looking through the opening in the forest,, towards the Sachem's abode. • At last, as the rays of the setting sun were thrown upon the tops of the forest around, the eagle feathers of the-chieftain were seen dancing above the bushes in the distance.— He advanced rapidly, and, the little boy was at his side. He was gaily attired as a young chief—his feet being dressed in moccasins ; a fine beaver skin was over his shoulders, and eagle's feathers were stuck in his hair. He was in excellent spirits, and so proud was he of his honors, that he seemed two inches taller than before. He was soon in his mo ther's arms ; and in that brief minute,. 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 the Indian; he will repay you with confidence and friendship." He was as good as his word, and Jugge W. lived there many years, laying the founda tion of a flourishing and prosperous commu nity. Contrast between a Monarchy and a Republic. The arrival of the President's Message in London has called forth the following obser vations from a democratic journal, the Peo ple's Paper, . edited by Ernest Jones. The contrast between the English monarchy and the American republic must strike with force the most superficial reader: "Here we have an old monarchy with a German Royal family costing one million pounds per annum; a national debt of eight hundred million pounds sterling, costing twenty-eight millions per annum; and entail ed by that German royal . family, through 'German wars, for German interests ; a he reditary landed aristocracy, drawing a rent al of one hundred millions yearly from the people; a state church, robbing the same people of eleven millions more every year ; poors-rate equal to the revenue, and a pau per population equal to the inhabitants of some continental kingdoms—and debt, royal extravagances, pauperism, poors-rates, .taxa tion and laud-rental increasing constantly: This is what we have here. L .;.` On the other side of the Atlantic there is a, ye,apag republic, with a native president, who costs only five thousands pounds per an num ; a national debt of only seven millions pounds, which might be paid off in one year, without the revenue of the country feeling any material drain ; an income so large that the executive seeks to reduce it by ten mil lion dollars; no hereditary aristocracy draw int, the life-blood from the people's veins; no state church 'spoiling' the people as the Is raelites were told to spoil the Egyptians, we are informed, but for a far less excusable motive; no paupers and no .pbors-rates worth mentioning ; no foreign interests predomi nant in legislation ; no war undertaken for the interests of an alien-descended family; no decay, no decline, no threatened ruin ; but, on the contrary, prosperity, wealth, economy, happiness and contentment, That is what they have there. "Why is this difference? Because in the one country there is a franchise restricted to one-seventh of the population, one-half of which seventh returns seven-tenths of the representation ; combined with that useless, mischievous and ridiculous institution called `monarchy.' Because in that country there is universal suffrage and a republic. That is the difference between the two institutions, as shown in their results. Could there be a more striking comment on the relative value of the two ? "President Pierce's last message, just given to the world, presents a picture of prosperity andgood government such as no other country in the world can show. . "Similar prosperity might exist here under a similar government. The resources of America are, it is true, greater than our own, but the resources of Great Britain and Ireland are more than great enough to pro duce identical results. " The cause of the dif ference lies in the difference between the in stitutions of the two nations. "Take a case in point. Holland was once a republic ;it is now a monarchy. When it was a republic it was rich, prosperous and happy. Its commerce filled the world ; its fleets swept the seas; it had no debt; its - treasury was filled to overflowing, and its people were the envy and admiration of the world. It became a monarchy, and its com merce decayed; its fleets vanished; its pros perity disappeared, and it has sunk as low as once it rose pre-eminent. You may say the rivalry of England produced those re sults; but, in the face of that rivalry the United States . rose from small beginnin,gs under a republic, while under a monarchy Holland sunk from consummated great ness." . A Sharp roungster.—A little boy on his return from Sunday: School; addressed his mother as. follows: "Mamma 1" "Well my dear." "Ma, the teacher says people are all made of dust." "Yes my dear, so the Bible says." "Well, ma, are white people made of dust?" "Yes." "Well then, I suppose colored people are made of coal duet, ain't they?" Editor and Proprietor. NO. 36.

Dodging a Dun. Some can scent a dun at any distance and can dodge him effectively. It is a knack ac quired by long experience. If the dun; how- , ever, by his experience becomes eXpert, the dunned stands a slim dance of escape. We heard a story the other day (says an exchange) of old Dr: G., of Portsmouth which is to the point as regards amateur dunning—for there is a, wide difference be tween the amateur and the professional. Dr. G. was a man of great integrity and worth and his business habits were on a square, exacting everything that was his own and paying every man his due. He held a note against a gentleman of Hampton for some considerable amount, and wherever he met him the Doctor was ready, note in hand, for the payment of an instalment. It became at last an agonizing dread with the debtor about meeting the Doctor, particular ly at the time when troubled with a disease known in the financial parlance as "shorts." But whenever he met him, the Doctor's dun would be anticipated by his debtor's Move ment for his pocket-book, and - frequent pay ments were made without seeing the note at all. He knew that the Docto'r was honest ; and that it would be all right, and several payments were thus blindly made. A great dearth of funds, however, made him more shy of meeting the Doctor ; and as he passed through the town, his eyes wan: dered in all directions to catch a glimpse' of his dread and avoid him if possible. He succeded fort while, and out-general= ed the old man for a time, but fate does not always favor the brave, and the Doctor from a distant position saw his victim tie his horse to a post and enter a store. Ile made all the haste he could, and entered the store just as his debtor dodged behind a cask. "Didn't I seeAlr. hS come in here?" asked the Doctor. "He did come in here, sir," said the shop keeper; "but he has gone some-'here now. The Doctor said he was not in a hurryand could wait as well as not; he saw his horse at the door, and thought he would be back before long: The man remained hid, and. the old Doctor waited a long time. At last he went out: Shortly after, Mr. M—himself went out, and was just stepping upon his wagon when the Doctor darted at him from a doorway. "Well, Mr. M,--" said he, "you need not dodge any more: That note has been paid up these six. months, and have been trying to see you that I might pay you back $2.0 you overpaid me." The Love of Rothe It is only shallow minded pretenders who either make distinguished origin .. a matter of personal merit, or obscure origin a Matter of personal reproach. Taunt and scoffing at the humble condition of early life affects no body in America but those who are foolish enough to indulge in them, and theyrare generally sufficiently punished by rebuke. A man who is not ashamed of himself need not be asham ed of his early condition. It did happen to me to be' born in a log cabin, raised among the snow-drifts of New Hampshire ' at a pe riod so early, that'when the smoke first, rose from its rude chimney, and curled, over its frozen hills, there was no similar ovidence of white man's" habitation between it tho settlements on the , rivers of Canada. Its re mains still exist ; I make it an annual frisit. I carry my children to it, and teach them the hardships endured by theeneration gone before them. I love to dwell on the tender recollections, the kindred ties, the early affec tions, and the narrations and incidents which mingle with all I know ,of this primitive family abode ; I weep to 'think that 'none of those who inhabited it are now among the living ; and if ever I fail in affectionate ven oration for him: who raised it, and defended it from savage violence and destruction, ished all domestic comforts beneath its roof, and through the igi fire and blood of seven years' revolutionary war, shrunk from no toil, nd service, to serve his country, and to raise his children to a condition better than his own, may my name and that of . my posterity be blotted forever from the memory of mankind. —Daniel Webster.
