"The fairest monument of ancient and chi
valrotm splendor which remains uninjured by
time."—Sir WALTZ& &ores atiosion to War
wick Castle.
At the Stratford Station, a special
train, as I noticed, ivas advertised
for the Fair then being held at Bin-
EURY : the memory of which place, as
"Banbury Cross," is embalmed in
the familiar nursery rhymes of child-
hood. My curiosity to 'witness one
of the English country fairs would
perhaps have led me thither; but on
inquiry I learned that they now lack
ed most of the interesting features of
former times, when so large a por
tion of the population, intent on buy
ing, selling, and having tv- good time
generally, were accustomed to be
present They are said now to be
frequented, mostly by farmers and
laborers, to make engagements for
hiring. The introduction of railways
has changed materially the ancient
current of traffic; and the good old
VICAR OF WAKEFIELD, were he - living
in these times, would hardly think of
sending 3losts to the Country fair, to
achieve a splendid bargain by ex
changing his colt for a gross of green
spectacles.
:Darkness came on before the arri
val train at the Warwick Sta-
tion ; and although under the igni
dance of an old citizen, I found the
route thence, to the town itself suffi
ciently obscure and difficult. Upon
the declivity of a hill which we as
cended, stand the ruins of the old
Priory, built by the first Norman
Earl of Warwick, and suppressed
with many other similar establish
ments, by a royal edict, - during the
reign of Henry Eighth.
The west gate of the city, through
which we , entered, is an arched pass
age directly beneath the tower of the'
Chapel of St. James : an entrance
certainly of not very favorable omen,
having once been known as the
"Hong,yn Gate.;" near, which as
seems probable, was fbrmerly the
place of public executions. A. little
ways further, on High -Street, the
'main thoroughfare of Warwick, I ar
rived at the " Warwick Arms," a ho
tetwith a hospitable name, 'and af
fording very comfortable, though not
ostentatious accommodations.
In addition to the beaptiful scene
ry in its 'vicinity, the town *resents
numerous objects of interest in its
monuments of the past and. historic
associations. Among other charac
teristic customs .of the olden times
still preserved there, as I was,told, is
that of • occasionally roasting an or.
entire.. It is sometimes recommend
ed to adopt the usages of those with
whom one chances to. sojourn : but
on the whole, while I' remained, I
preferred- to have my beef cooked in
smaller quantities.
The most attractive and admirable
feature of the city, is of course, its
paid old Castle. Comparatively un
wired by the lapse of time, it has
recently suffered by the ravages of
fire; which while destroying some of
its finest apartments, fortunately
spared most of the • treasures of art
which they contained, the loss 'of
which would have been wholly irre
parable. In regard to the old feudal
edifice, and in addition to the remark
of Sir. Walter Scott, before quoted, I
Will give a few words from another
distinguished writer : 'lt is a rare
consolation for the lover of his coun
try's monuments to turn from castles
made into prisons, a and. abbeys into
stables, to such a glorious relic of old
England as Wanwrcz Currin. Who
can forget the first sight of that beau
tiful pile, little touched by time, not
vulgarized by ignorance ? As the
visitor enters the portal, through
which GAVESTON was ledto execution,
and the KISGILLEIM marched in. and
out tis uphold in turn, a Yorkist or a
Lancastrian pretender to the crown,
he feels that he is treading upon
ground almost hallowed in its 11880d
ationa"
It was on a lovely autumn morn
ing that in company with some other
visitors, I entered the outer gateway
of the Castle, at the Porter's
Lodge.
Here are kept various relics of the
renowned "Guy of Warwick." His
sword, straight, double-edged and
two-handed, is of the weight. of .20
the helmet 7, shileld 32 and
breastplate 52; making the warrior's
entire outfit, when armed cap-a-pie,
111 lbs, and arguing well for the
strength of knight as well as steed,
in entering mortal embat under
such a pressure. Certainly, it looks
like sacrificing a considerable share
of muscular. power to theimpose

Among the Ancient. churches of

few hundred years ago, relics of a
wonderful character were here shown
for the admiration of the faithful.
Among them were, a part of the true

and even a phial of her milk; a thorn
from the Saviour's crown; the cloth

the town, or what became of them,
history does not relate. If, as some

to the readers of Scott's-Kenihvorth.
"Guy'fit Cliff," now the seat of
Lord Percy, is a beautiful locality, a
little ways out of the city. It takes
its name, of course, from the cele
brated Guy of Warwick, who is said
in his last days to have occupied
hermitage here. How can any one
doubt there ever having lived such a
personage, when his statues executed

considered as Guy himself, (or what
is left of him in a petrified state.
But HAwriroturc has written "About

things which others may well wish to

AN INDIAN GRAVE.
Our second day's march brought
us to the Saline river, wliere we en
camped for the night. From our
camp ground could see 'on a knoll
some two miles distance a platform
or a scaffold eroded, which resembled
in somewhat one of our war signs.
stations. Curious to discover its
purpose, I dterniined to visit it.,
Taking with me Comstock and a
soldiers, I soon reached the point,
and discovered that the object of my
'curiosity and surprise'-was An Indian
grave. The body, instead of being
consigned to mother earth, was placed
on top. of the platform. The latter
Was constructed of saplings, and was
about twenty feet in height. From
Cornstalk I termed that with some
of the- tribes this is the usual mode
of disposing of the body after death.
The preVailing belief of the' Indian is
that when done with Witt world the
spirit of the decemed .is transferred
to the " happy Thunting-ground,"
where lie is .permitted to engage in
the same plestctures and pursuits
which..he preferred while
. on the
earth. To thi% end it itt deemed es
sential that after death the departed
must be supplied with ' the sate
equipmeuta nd ornaments considered
necessary while in the flesh. In ac
cordande with this belief a complete
Indian outfit, depending in extent
upon. the rank and importance Of 'the
deceased, is prepared,.runl consigned'
with the body to the final resting- .
place.
The body found on this occasion
must have been. that of a son of some
important chief ; it was not full
grown, but accorniianied with all the
arms and adornments usuoly,owned
by a warrior. There was the bow
and quiver fall of steal pointed ar
rows, and the tomahawk and scalp
ing -knife, and . .a red clay pipe with a
small bag full of tobaco.. In order
that the departed spirit • should not
be wholy dependant upon friends af
ter his'arrival at the happy hunting
ground, he had - been supplied with
provisions, consisting of small parcel
contaning coffee,. sugar, and bread
aleapons of moderate structure had
'aso been, furnished him, a revolver
and rifle, with potvder and ball am
munition for each, and a saddle, bri
dle, lariat for his pony, Added to
these watt a supply of wearing ap
parel, el:Anteing every article known
in an Indian's toilet, not excepting
iris to be, nsed.. indecorating hmiself
for 'war. A. handsome buebdrin
scaliiing-pOcket, prOlosely ornamen
ted•with beads; completed the outfit.
But for fear woman

scalps might notbe readily obtained,
and, desireing no doubt to be recivcd
at once a warior, who in hiS own
'country at least was • not without re
nown; a white wonians scalp was also
eonsidered'as a . necessary accompa
niment, a letter of introduction to
the dusky warribrs and . chieftains
who had gone before. Aa the Indian
of the Plains is. himself only when on
horseback, provisions must be made
for mounting him properly in tha
Indian heaven. To accomplish this,
the favorite war piiny is lead beneath
the platform on which the body of
the warrior is placed at rest, and
strangled to death.—"My Life on the

Most boys wlici` "get into the
newspapers' are very remarkable
boys.`. -
Joe' had nothing about his looks
or actions or color that attracted
the particular attention of any
- A
When he first breathed the vital
air he was simply a baby-boy, with
two hands, two feet, two eyes, two
ears, one mouth and one nose. Ho
did not laugh, and .crow, and- - sit
upright, as young geniuses do in
their baby-hood,..but he slept and
waked and ate lbaby - food, of
course,) and cried like. any common
baby.
When he .grew older there was
no uncommon deVelopments, except
that he was fat and healthy and
heavy.
Nobody-congratulated the mother
on raising a future President, or
applauded the ,bright genius that
sparkled in the baby's eyes.- The
gosSipers looked wonderingly at
each other as the tender mother
watched over her baby bay, provi
bed for his comforts, and pressed
him to her warm bosom.
He'grew to boyhood, but lie was
- only a common boy. He :learned
his A B C with difficulty, and was
slow in. _learning 'to read. His
teacher thought he never would
".get through the multiplication ta
ble." But he never forget 4t.
When the boys. went a-flailing
Joe went too, but he, was slow in
getting - his hook and line ready.
The other boys were in and around
the lake befoie his hook was faiily
settled in the water. "Too slow to
move,".the boys woud say. ."He'll
sit there expecting the fish to come
to him." It was' even so : he re-:
mained stationary and fixed ; but
when night came somehow his bas
ket was always full while many of
the bright ; talking geniuses went
hem with the sad intelligence that
the fish "wouldn't bite."
When he grew to be -a tho
busting drive-aheads laughed . at his.
plodding:, but by some- deans
. he
seldom made a mistake, and though
he did not seem to accompliA as
much in a,week. as many others 'did
in a day, yet at tile end of the S.ear
there' was always something, tangi
ble in his results, while: the work

SOMETHING. TO DO.
To insure persons growing up in
correct tastes, they should have some
occupation When children—something
to do regularly and thoroughly, no
matter what it is. Especially should
they keep busily, employedin these
exhilarating spring days, when life
itself takes a new. lease of labor as
Wells pleasure. Not that they
should be taken sway= .from play ;-
but play grows wearisome, after a
time, and work ia needed as an an
tidote and an elixir. Many ways
can be found by thus filling the
lives of little ones with a yariety of
labor -and relaxation. that will pre
vent Jack—and Gill also--fiom be
coming either a " dull bey'l or " a
mere toy." If you would have the
children interested in hothe and its
surroundings, and also - have' them
grow up to lovework, and to:depend
upon .that for its happiness, give
,them personal' interest iii something.
One child may • have a' piece of
ground and be allowed to cultivate
it, appropriating the proceeds as he
pleases. Another may have.a few
fowls, and, taught to keep account of
their eggs and the_ cost of their
keeping. Even in teWris, something
of this kind' may he; planned ford
each little one, which will combine
profit with pleasure, and give them'
habits of industry. We -have been
informed of one lad -ten years old
who cultivated an acre of. ground
last year - planting it with corn, and
tending it : himself, -who - has now a
,goodly suni of money , invested
as its proceeds. Ile is "putting
in" still more - this year, with, a
.
zeal pleasant to witness, and taking
time from play to do it well. A
girl of twelve has alreedy made the
care of fowls a pleasure and has.sev
-eral 'choice varieties, bought with
her own earnings lin this line.. We
have heard of onewise father who,
who gave his little son .a stand of
bees, with the assurance that its
Proceeds should be invested for him
till he was 'of age, the thild..to study
the habits of the - bees and take all
necessary care of them. The-first
year's ,proceeds were unusually large
and the. little fellow' feels himself a
bee-keeper in reality. Ten years
will Mike him a rich man, for ho
will have habits of thought and ob
servation worth more by far than
the money s lue. of _ the bees. oth-'
er way* of interesting children will
present themselves -to parents and
frienda, and we are sure no one will
ever regret the attempt when they
fipd what a discipline it is , for the
growing children.-

SA. NA'itill OF THE CROSS.—The
mark which persons who ttre unable
to write are required to Imalit in- -
Stead of.their signatures, is sin the
form of a cross ; and practice,
having formerly been followed by
kings and nobles, is constantly
referred to as an instance of the
deplorable ignorance of ancient
tiMes. This signatnre is not,
however, invariably a proof of sneh
ignorance. Anciently the- use ef
the mark Was not confined to illit
erate persons; for among the Sa;-
ons the mark of the cross,
was an
attestation of the good faith, of the
persons signiria a , was required to be
altztehed to the signature_ of those
who costa write, as well as to stand
in the- place - of the signature of
those who could not write. In
those times, if-a man 'could write,
or even read, • his . knowledge wai
considered proof presumptive that
he was in holy orders. The deli
cus, or clerk, was.synonymous With
penman; and the laity, or people
who were not clorks,did not feel any
'argent necessity for the use of let
-ters. The ancient use of the cross
was therefore universal, ,alike by
those who could and those who
could not write;" :it was, indeed,
the symbol. of an oath, , from its
. stered assooiationskas well as , the
mark generally adopted. Hence
the origin of the expression,""God;
save theniark,"' as-a form of ejacu
lation approaching the character of
an'eath,
