of the most darin? chinfi nnQ rY
Ono
whom we remember of having read, was
an Algonquin or Adirondack. This tribe
of Indians, at tho time of the first settle,
ment of Canada, wero found upon the
banks ol the St. Lawrence.
They were once a warlike and power
ful peoplo; but were finally conquered bv
tho Iroquois or Tive Nations, with whom
they were continuallyj.it war.
The Trois llivierc or Threo Rivers
was tho scene of a most signal defeat,
from which the Algonquins never rccov
crcd. 1 he clncltan to whom we havo alluded,
whoso namo was l'askaret, could never
forget the stain which tho victories of the
Iroquois had left upon his people, and
w ith four of his boldest warriors devoted
himself to what ho considered the sacred
duty of wiping tho stain from the najional
honor.
"Wc will become," s:iid Paskarct. ad
dressing his four warriors, "the avengers
of our race. We will learn tho Ircijuois!

to fear us. We will inert them in unex
pected places, and shy their best warriors
when they are (apparently) resting in
stfety in sight of the smoke of their own
lodges."
"What shall be done, great chieftnn ""
asked one of the avengers of the Adiron
dacks. "The Iroquois are n numerous
people, nnd wc are still smarting under
tho terrible wounds which our honor re
ceived nt the momoraLlo battle of Troiu
Riviere."
"When you speak of Trois Riviere,
you caue my cheeks to burn with shame,"
replied rasuarct, snaking ms tr-tig mi a
ouiverina finder towards the conutrv ol
the l'ivo Nations. l,h ii tin n:.:'.ti:ry of:

I will led you one plan which 1 have;
U I i,.,,. i
thought ot by winch to puni:i mo irj
quois. I have learned by one of my spits
that live canoes havo gor,3 up the Three
Rivers, nnd will probably return in n few
days nnd pass over the same spot where
we were defeated. Itch of the- canoes
contained ten of our enemies. Kow I
will reveal to you a wav in which vu can
destroy them all. There- arc five of us j
ono warrior to each canoe. .Let f -, pro
vido ourselves with mutkets thruo for
each man, nnd ammunition in abundance.
Threo muskets to each warrior, in cur
hands, w ill count the simc us fifteen arm
ed in the ordinary manner.
'Rut, avengers, this is not all; I have i
another iniporlant tmtter to make known,
I have discovered that by loading a mus-1
kct with two Wis, connecleJ by a chain ;
ten inrltcs in length, a bircheu canoe can j
Le cut to pieces in a moment. Look at
this niece of birch bark; I brought it hith-!

"ether. Algonquins, lint shot would have
sunk a birch canoe, loaded with our one
mies." An exultant shout arose from tho aven-
f the Adirondackks. Tho chief
r-
went on.
"Now you perceive tho benefit of a littlo
head-work, nnd the ndvntitago this con
trivance will give tn over tho Fivo Na
tions, when wo meet them at any odds, in
point of numbers With fifteen muskets,
loaded in this manner, wc shall be equal
to the fifty Iroquois warriors thalaro now
up tho Trois Riviere "
Anain tho four nvengers shouted with
-.'.i.Mnv. Tho Alcomiuins commencod
nctin" upon their plans at once. Pusknret
exerted himself to procuro muskets of tho
largest calibre, and of tho most approved
mnkc. He uld his favorito horse, nnd
ninny things most highly esteemed, to
provide iho necessary outfit for himself
and companions.
All was nt length in readiness. The
musket! were obtained nnd loaded with
two balls each, nnd in a manner highly
satisfactory to Paskarct.
Tho nvenndrs stepped into a canoo of
I largo dimen.-ions, nnd in excellent spirits
! paddled away up the Trois Riviere. A day
l.mi nu.li) Tvwsrd. and iho avengers saw
nothing of their enemies.
Eurly in tho morning, ihcy found them
selves near iho spot where Iho futal battlo
had been fought which had broken the
nrido of tho Algonquins, and mado the
Iroquois lords of tho country.
I'l'um (itf tinn'a tu
The nvengers rested on their raddles.
and looked seowlinyly on tho scene of the
coninci, which still presented evidence
that a battlo had been Ibu'dit there.
"This is tho spot where tho Altionouins
suffered everlasting shame," said ono of
tho avengers, in u low voice.
"JJo not speak of it," replied Paskarct,
in husky tones. "It covers mo with con
fusion. Hut who knows," ho added vehe
mently, his eyes flushing fire, "but wc
may wash out tho disgrace upon this very
spot, nnd win eternal renow n !"
The words of tho daring chieftnn seem
ed prophetic. Cefore iho echoes of his
voico rmd ceased, five canoes, containing
in nil fifty Iroquois, swept into sight by
turning an nbrupt bend in tho river.
"Imitate me," said Paskarct, in a low
voice, "and don't firo till I give the
word;" nnd iho wily chief commenced
singing his death-song, as though he had
resigned himself to inevitable death. His
warriors immediately followed his exam
ple, suffering the Iroquois to approach
without making n single effort to escape.
On swept the five canoes with loud and
horrible shouts ofsavaee exultation. They
beheld some of their most inveterate one-

In a siTuiii low n in on.' of tin. counties
tics of Ohio, a stranger rodo up to tho
door of a tavern, and having dismounted,
ordered a stall nnd oats for his lwrso. A
crowd of loafers that class of indepen
dent citizens who nro never equal to tho
decent men except on election day
swarmed tho Inr-rocm door and steps,
waiting to bo invited to the counter.
Among this crowd the stranger's business
was at onco a subject of impertinent specu
lation. Ono fellow moro impudc"t than,
the rest, made free to enquire of tho trav
eller what occupation ho followed ; lo
which the latter replied that his business
was a secret for the present, but that ho
would probably mako it known before leav
ing town.
Having spent n day or two locking
round, visiting tho places where whiskey
was sold and making enquiries as to tho
amount retailed, tho number of habitual
drunkards in tho pbco; tha number of
dogs kept by men, w hoso children never
went to school or had enough to cat uftor
in short, making a complete moral inven
tory of the town, ho concluded to leave,
and having mounted his horn was about
to bo off, when his inquisilivc friend urged
on by his associates, stepped upnd ra;d .
"Seo here, Captain, you promised to toll
us your business, beforo you left, and wo'd
like so Ipnr from von on that noint."
Well," said the stranger "I am r.n

A Dnop of Oil. Every man who livts
in a house, should oil all tho various parts
of it once in two or three month. Tiio
I house- will Inst much longer, and wnl be
mucn more quiet 10 live in. un tno locus,
bolts nnd hinges of tho street door, and it
will shut gently with luxurious ease, und
with tho use of a small amount of force.
A neglected lock requires great vio
lence lo cause it to shut, and with so much
violenco that tho wholo house, its doors,
its windows, its very floors and joists, ore
much shaken, and in tune they get out ol
repairs in all sorts of ways, to say nothing
ol the dust that is displaced every timo the
place is so shaken. The incessant bang
ing of doors, screeching of locks, creaking
and screaming of hinges, is a great dis
comfort. Even tne bell wiro cranks
should sometimes be oi!ul, and they will
net more certainly and with such gentle
force thnt there will Ixt little danger of
break;ng any part of them. The castors
of tables and chairs should bo sometimes
oiled, and they will move with such gen
tle impulse and s rpiietly that a flopping
child or old man is not awakened. A well
