THE Itosnsra APPEAL
4, various methods are now resorted to,
to prevent the killing of innocent and useful
birds, we commend the following lines to the
attention of thoughtless boys:
0, kill me not!
Thou thoughtless boy,
While singing here
In all my joy ;
"Pis wicked thus
•
To harm me now—
Still let me hop
Front bough to bough.
0, kill me natl..
Life's dear to me
As 'tis to you,
So wild and free-- ,
Now posed in air,
Then sailin g low—
How full of glee
irc only know.
0, kill us not!
In yonder tree
My mate and I
llati•e nurselings three;
You would not, sure,
That these should die
For want of food,
Up there so high.
0, let us lire!
And day by day
We'll utter thanks
In our own way ;
We'll surely come •
Quite near your door,
And sweetest songs
Sing o'er and o'er.
THE DIFORISED GIRL
I=
The world is so mixed and mingled!
And there is such a variety of charac
ter in it! And no one knows what
part he may play in the drama of
existence, or how he shall die, or
when, or where his grave will be.
Neither can ho tell his origin, and de
fine the concerted causes that called
him out of the world of matter to a
conscious being. Man is alike igno
rant of his beginning and ending—dis
satisfied with the present, and doubt
ful of the future. There are feW real
philosophers among us. Jane Radley
was quite a philosopher in her way..
She was a little girl, cruelly deformed,
whom I used occasionally to meet
last summer during my walks. Jane
was ten years old, an orphan, and,
though so young, a miserable drudge
in a German family. Her face was
very expressive and interesting; but
her person pitifully ugly. She was
picking berries when I chanced to see
her for tho first time. My impres
sions were unfavorable. I involunta
rily shrunk from the unfortunate crea
ture. Stopping, I observed her at
tentively, asking myself whether life
was a curse or a blessing 'to such a
child. Who could love her; What
was she good . for? What would she
do for companionship? From what
unknown fountain would the waters
of her enjoyment flow!
'You ain't afraid of me, are you?'
she asked in a plaintive tone.
'Why do you ask such a question?'
'Because.l know I'm such a fright.'
'Why do you think sq?' I continued.
'Oh, it's very easy tolknow it. My
shadow in the glass, and in the water,
and on the wall tell me. People laugh
at me because I am so badly made.'
`Does that give you pain'?'
'lt makes'. rue feel as if(l wanted to
be alone. And sometimes 1 sit down
where nobody can see me, arid cry.'
am sorry there aro those so
thoughtless and cruel. Have you
parents living?'
'No; I wish I had, But you see
they took sick and died, when 1 wasn't
half so big as I am
.now. I don't
think they:laughed at me, do you?'
'Certainly not. You are very un
happy, I suppose?'
'Sometimes I think I am the most
miserable girl in the world, and I
want to die and be put out of sight.
tut I get over such dark spells and
think in a different way. I say. to
myself, I'm very ugly, and people
ain't to blame for not liking me. We
shouldn't like a flower, should we, if
it wasn't sweet and pretty? We love
to look at what is beautiful; it comes
natural 7 --we can't help it. I like to
look at you, ma'am, you are so nice,
and seem to know so much. And I
don't see anything bad or proud in

and for calling me hunchback, too.. •
Do you get good usage.where you
live 1'
I'm afraid not;- but perhaps I .don't
know what good usage-..is. They. tell
me I should be a beggar if it wasn't
for them. . So I work very_hard and
try to think I. deserve the blows I. get.'
Don't you find it hard to do:so.r
'Yes ; it comes dreadful hard solo&
times. Then Igo away and cry and
pray.'
'Pray!'
Yes, ma'am?
Who taught you?'
Nobody—it comes natural. I know
what I want and-ask. for it.'
Whom do you ask?'
The child gazed pleasantly into
my. face, and said 'Oh, you know,
ma'm. Such a - nice lady as you must
know a great deal better than I do.'
You are meanly dressed. Do you
get food enough?' •
'No—and then I go to bed hungry;
but I soon think myself to sleep and
dream all kinds of nice things. - When
I wake up I feel quite refreshed. '
Do you expect to exist in this way
as long as you live?'
'I hope not—but if I do I shall
make the best of it. Perhaps I shan't
live long.' •

'I think I should like to. If I do
the best I can, I shall be an angel.
And I shall be beautiful; for this
frightful body will stay behind.'
'How can you exist without a body?:
'I shall have oriel?
'Have one ?'
'Yes—the spiritual body that Paul
tells us about in • the Testament.—
You've read the Testament, havn't
you ?'
I said yes. •
'I wish I knew more about it, but
no one explained it to me. Older
people think I can't understand such
things. Oh, they don't know how my
soul has outgrown my body!'
Alas not,' I added with a sigh.
' I think a girl's soul may be older
than her body. Mine is. It seems to
me that I've lived a good while. Is
there such a thing as living fast'? if
there is, then I've lived fast. Think
ing does it—thinking, thinking, when
I'm alone—alone in the night time,
talking with myself, wondering how I
came to be—how the world, and the
moon, and the stars came to be. Do
you know that I get lost in a great
unknown region, without beginning
or end—a place full of life atid.trio
tien.l My spirit hears voices—voices
still .and_ small, talking to my -soul—
my soul is so full of mystery! . r n My
body is blind and dark, and hears
nothing, and I cannot go with my
thoughts to the bright world where
my happiness is. Do you know what
I mean, ma'am ? ••
' I believe so, child; go on.' •
' They call me stupid and dreamy,
not knowing the life I lead. I love
the stars and the. strange, still moon;
I think they know me and understand
me; so I talk with them and much
calmness comes .over me. De you
know that I imagine that God is - in
all of them? He must be; and in'the
wide sky, the sky so Serene on mild
evenings and ,starry nights—the sky
so high and so deep; the quiet, friendly
sky.'
The deformed girl paused. Clasp
ing, her hands, she looked up into the
depths with all the fervor of an en-
thusiast. Her
,eyes 'beamed with a
soft, saintly light. I looked at her
poor body, and saw only the soul
which had outgrown it. - Cut ofl - from
the v,-aim pulse of human - sympathy,
she had necessarily formed au ac
quaintance with the inner life—the
institutions—the ideal—the eternal... 1
What a lesson I learned frbm Janci !
How my pride and vanity and world
liness were rebuked. The'self-satis

wished for the angelic nature of the
,child.
And this miZed and mingled world
is heedless of intellect, unless templed
in a beautiful body. We cannot judge

THE "DIGGER'Y INDIANS
A friend, not long since returned
from the plains, gives an account of
the "Diggers"—the most degraded
and disgusting race on, the Western
Hemisphere. They occupy a region
of territory in and near the American
Desert, being driven from the neighbOP
ing sections by the other Indlia tribes,
who have the most utter contempt and
abhorrence of the race. They are
dwarfish in statute, being seldom above
five feet in height, dark in complexion,
lean, emaciated and shrivelled, with a
skin resembling leather, laying in folds
over the body,, and giving them a truly
hideous appearance. .They wander
about, often irfan entirely nude state,
and have no habitations of any descrip
tion.. Sometimes they burrow in the
sand for night's lodging. Roots and
herbs are their principal subsistence,
which they dig from the ground with
remarkable dispatch, hence receiving
the appellation of "Diggers." The
Diggers are a cannibal race, eating
human flesh whenever it cad be ob
tained. They also subsist on carrion
and indeed on anything that can un
dergo a digestive process.
Their weapons of warfare and de
fence are the tomahawk and the arrow:
They are a cowardly race, seldom,
making an attack, except for the pur
pose of procuring food, and then only
in case of a great superiority in num
bers. Their mode of attack is to
warily surround their victim, and
simultaneously rush upon him. As
soon as he fires at one of the party,
the others immediately transfix him
with a volly of arrows, when they di
rectly proceed to cut him .up, eating
what they desire, and carrying off the
residue ter future use. They seem
hardly to possess the characteristics of-,
human beings, and their identity as
men, is questioned by many trappers i
and hunters. Having the semblance
of the human form, they possess all
the. traits of brutes. They are re
markably tenacious oflife, and accounts
almost incredible are often related 'of
this peculiarity. The. truth . of the fol.
lowing incident is vouchedforon credi,
ble authority. .
An attack having been made on a
party of hunters _and traders crossing
the American Desert, and who were
reduced by starvation and thirst, the
Diggers were worsted and a number.
of them Shot. One of them, who had
received a rifle ball through his body ;
raised himself up to - a sitting posture,
aimed his tomahawk at one of the
whites, throwing it with suchprecision
as to Cut his hunting cap from his head..
The other,. in turn, walkedup to his
antagonist, and deliberately stint .him
through the head, and left him for
dead. Soon after, on turning around;
he preceived the Digger, _with a por
tion of his brains pramding from his
skull, taking aim at him with his knife.
Ho sprang aside, in time to avoid the
weapon, and then: riddled him with
balls. An hour afterivard 'he yet
breathe - di The Diggers are rapidly
diminishing in 'numbers, as is the case
with most other : lndian tribes.
EXTORTION seldom' pays in• the long
run. The .cazenovia Whig says:
Several 'farmers in this region had
large lots of hey which a few' weeks
ago they refused to sell for $2O per
toil, declining to sell for less thin $3O
per ton. ~Buyers would not submit to
the extortion, and the hay was not
sold. Prices. have. now fallen' to $l5
per ton, and, that' hay finds no pur

with great power and voluMe column

bent on outstripping the others..
ter I 'bad recovered in some degiee
from 'my first astonishment, r looked
round at the lent—how •-small, how
diminutive it seemed, compared to
those pillars of, water. , And yet it was
nearly twenty feet high: It was lying
rather lower, it is true, than the basin
of the Geiser, .but tent Mightihave
been piled on tent—yes, by my reck
oning, which,may not have been per
fectly accurate, hbweyer—five or six,
one above the other, would nut have
reached the elevation of these jets,
the largest of which I -think - .li'can
affirm, without any exaggeration,. to
have risen at least to the bight of a
hundred feet, and to have been three
or Tour feet in diameter:
Fortunately, I had looked at my
watch 'when the first •ruinbliug was
heard, for I should certainly have, tor-
gotten to do so during the explosion,
and by the calculation I made when it
wa's over, I thind that it lasted nearly
four minutes-the actual outbreak oc
cupying more than half that time.
When . this wonderful scene was
ended, the peasant went with me : ,to
examine the-basin and caldron. We
could approach very pear

nothing farther to be seen. The wa

basin, into which we entered,. and
walked clue up to the caldrup, where
they had. also sunk to the depth of
seven or eight feet, though they were
still boiling and - bubbling with great
violence.

.In order to ascertain how rOng it
would be before the basin and Caldron
were full again, I returned•to-the spot .
every thirty minutes, and found that
the first hour I could still stand within
the basin ; but, at my next visit, the.
caldron was completely' filled; and on
the point of running over. As long
as tile water remained in the caldron,
it boiled furiously,' but
. the 'ebullition
subsided as it flowed into "the basin,
and when the latter was full there was
only an ocCasionatbubble to be seen.
