Our days pass by with frequent change Borne bright, some dark and gloomy, A few we give to making friends, And more to making money. A few are happy, Joyous days, But these are much too rare, When we In childish, trusting faith Build castles in the air. And there are days to mcm'ry dear, Though cast with shadows o'er, When we retire within ourselves, And softly shut the door. A lock of hair ; some faded lines ; From fr.cnds no longer here, Will often change- to thoughtful days, Our pleasant days of cheer. And there are days oh 1 listen not, Sweet Bpirlts up above When passions rankle in our breasts, And not a drop of love. When all our steps are downward turned, And sinful all our ways j And theso wc call, and well we may, Our dark and evil days. Sometimes we have our blessed days. The sweetest of ull given, The days of love and peace and joy, Ruled o'er by Holy Heaven. O, may our future days like those, By Heay'nly love bo blest, Until oft yonder golden shore, Wo find our duy of rest. A Story of the Frontier. T MIE first white settlers of West Vir ginia experienced u dark and troub lesome time in effecting a permanent lodgement on the banks of the Ohio. The Indians being subsidized by the English were hostile, und conflicts were inevitable whenever a colonist met a na tive. To protect the pioneers of this then far remote region, a stockade was erected at Wheeling, somewhere about tho close of the Revolutionary war, and a hiii ul 1 garrisou put with in it, which was more than once unsuccessfully besieged by the northern tribe of red men. Game of various kinds, particularly wild turkeys, abounded in tho viciuity of tho fort, and was sometimes hunted by tho soldiers to relieve the tedium of their monotonous life, and vary their ordinary rations. On one occasion tho seeming cull of one of theso birds l'roni a rocky ledge, not i'ar to the rear of tho stockade, prompted a soldier to go out in search, who, ut the expiration of his leave of ab sence, had not returned. Tho autumnal sun declined and set in the hazy forests beyond tho Ohio, and still his quarters in the fort were vacant, nor did ho over again fill them. Known to be of a rest less disposition, it was surmised that, wearied of his coufiued garrison life, ho had taken this opportunity to desert. A day, or two afterward, thesamo bird cull from tho same direction invited a more trusty soldier to solicit permission to go out uud hunt. The report of a rifle was heard anon in tho direction ho had gone and his companions began to look for his return, successful or otherwise, lint he, too, cumo not, nor was ho ever seen alive. These disappearances were accounted very singular, and parties were sent out to search for the missing, in vain. Ref'oro tho excitement occasioned thereby hud subsided, a squad of recruits to make good tho places of men whose en listments hud expired, arrived froni Penn sylvania. Among them was one Lewis Wctzell, a veteran Indian huuter, acquainted with all tho subtleties of ludian strategy, and a boldness equalled only by his success. Learning tho recent mysterious occur rences, ho quietly remarked that ho could solve them if the like invitation to hunt should happen and leave to do so bo given him. Fortunately he had not long to wait for it. One foggy niorning the same sound echoed through tho eastern forest und Wetzell stole forth on his per ilous expedition. An hour passed on Bufticiently tedious to his inteusely ex cited comrades in tho fort and thou the sharp crack of ariflo broke tho stillness of tho woods. "That's Wetzel's gun 1" exclaimed tho newcomers. ' We should know it among a thousand." Shortly tho long lithe figure of its owner stalked out of tho forest into tho clearing, and as it drew near a bloody scalp was seen dangling by its siugle grey lock of hair from tho muzzle of his rifle. A rousing cheer welcomed his return through tho sallyport, and tho tale was told on this wise : Ever suspicious of Indian deviltry, and fertile in his inventions to meet it, ho went out believing that tho ominous bird call issued from a wary biped without and was uttered to bring somo unsuspect ing victim within reach of his deadly tomahawk. A repetition of it having enabled him to fix more definitely its direction and distance ho elung his gun over his shoul der and climbed a tall pino, which gave a view of the ledge of rock from which tho sound seemed to proceed. Shortly, from between the branches of his lofty perch, he espied the gray scalp-lock of an old Indian warrior, csconced behind a largo rock, over which ho was cautiously peering to watch tho result of his craft. Instantly covering tho mark with his un erring riflo Wetzel drew trigger, when the head dropped behind tho rock and disappeared. lie had obtained too sure au aim to distrust tho success of his bul let, and waiting only a few minutes to as certain whether tho enemy were single or not, he descended and taking a circuit so as to bring him above tho rock, got an observation into a kind of cavern belaud it, where lay the wild turkey with a per forated brain. Hastening down ho se cured tho rifle and other weapons of his foe, and found attached to his belt, the scalps of the two missing hunters, to which he immediately added that of their murderer and returned to the fort. Wetzel's subsequent exploits along the border rank him with Daniel Boouo in daring and success. The Indians con sidered him invulnerable, and from his ability to load his gun on the run thought tho great Spirit had endowed him with an ever ready weapon. They stood in great fear of him and were never able to harm him, for he died at an old age in his bed. Bf" A tall, long-legged Yuukeo from up the country, distinguished by a littlo head perched on a crane's neck, accoutred with a swallow-tailed coat and pantaloons that refused to be coaxed down to his ankles, boots shiuiug with tallow, and hat that scorned over a half inch of brim, stalked into a city hotel to get what he called a " fancy dinner." Reing seated at tho table, and asked by a servant what ho would have : " Wall, I swan, I didn't know," said he, casting his eyes down the long nrray of fricaddcaux, cotellcttes, ragouts, alto gether, " kickshaws" on the bill of fare which confounded him with their variety while despared of grappling with them all, " what would you take squire, if you were in my place? I can't cat all if I never was to havo another local of vittles from now till the snow flies." " Wouldn't you like somo soup'" said tho waiter. "Wall, squire you're 'bout right, I reckon ; bring on your soup, and then I'll pitch into your biled vittles. You tax all tho same they say, and its hard choos in', so I'll jist try one plato thrmujh the lot 1 will if 1 busi! BQy- A young sport, gifted with a melo dious voice became acquainted with a lovely female in a country town, and the evening following tto) introduction went to her residence where his voico was aired in serenading the house, for the lady chanced to bo absent. lie sang until he was hoarse patiently awaitiug the looked for lace at the window. Disheartened, ho went home, but returned tho next, and renewed tho sereuado commencing with tho song, " "lis Years Since Lust We Met.' He had just uttered theso words when a window was raised and a gruff voico shouted, " Hold ou, young man ; I think there's some mistake. It isn't long since last wo met'" for you wero hero last night. " Now git," and tho old man hastened tho serenadcr's departure by a shower of old boots aud crockery. Tito young man has not sinco attempted to utter his musical notes in that neigh borhood. Jfc-jyGray, tho celebrated poet, greatly dreaded fire, and kept a ladder of ropo in his bed-room, so that ho might the moro readily escape, should tho houso take fire at night. Some mischievous young men at Cambridgo knowing this, roused him in tho middle of a dark night with the cry of fire. Up went tho window, and down came Gray on his rope ladder as fast as ho could, plump into a tub of wa ter, which was placed thero to receive hi in. S&" " It is only by labor that thought is made healthy; it is only by thought that labor is niado happy." This maxim of Rusk in is traveling in all tho news papers, and will stick in the head of every worthy man who reads it. ttST The town of Wheelock, Vt., passed tho following vote in 1797: " Voted, That tho town bo at tho cxpenso of rum for venduing off tho new mccting-houso pews." A Night on a Battle-field. rTMIE Prussian Captain Furstenbcrg, jl wno was wounueu una lett tor dead at Gravelottc, gives a frightful picture of what ho witnessed alter darkness hud lallcn upon "tho ensanguined plain." Recovering from a faititimr fit. lm wna surprised to observe human figures flit- l! 1 Ail ., n i i , uug uoous mo neaps ot ueaa ana dying uurhim: and mine- to his nlhow lm could detect quite plainly tho white mo nastic design of the Knights of St. John upon tho armlet oftho nearest mail.

One of tho threo woro tho garb of an ordinary field-priest, the two others appeared to bo monk knights of St. John ; and to his unspeak able horror the stricken cuptaiu presently discovered that they were both robbing aud murdering. Reaching a group of tho fallen, they commenced cutting open tho uniform of each at the breasts with knives and scissors j if a body gave signs of life, it was deliberately choked to death; pockets wero emptied; rings were dragged, or even cut from fingers ; aud tho pretended priests pocketed the hor ribly stolen valuables. Having given the captain time to understand their awful business, these human hyenas at length approached the spot where ho lay, with an evident intention to strangle him, but his cries brought assistance und his life was saved. Grave Humbug. Some time ago, us a gentleman was quietly passing along ouo of the streets of Jioston, his attention was attracted to a woman just opposite, who appeared to bo in great distress. He stopped and in quired what troubled her so much. She replied in a piteous tone, "My hus band is dead, and I have no money to bury liuu. I lie gentleman hesitated but she repeated her story. " If you do not believe me, come and see. He lol- lowed her into'tho house, aud there, sure enough, her husband was lying in the comn ready lor burial, lho gentlemen pitying her distress, removed his gloves and gave her money sufficient to bury her husband, bade her good-morning and departed. He had gone but a few steps when he missed his gloves, and on return ing for them, entered without ceremony, and found the supposed dead man quietly sitting up in his cotliu,countiug tho money he had given the woman a few min utes before. lis took his gloves and re marked to the man that ho need not trouble himself to count the money, as it was all right, and departed a wiser man. Living Without Money. Hundreds of Moruion farmers, living in reasonably couifortablo circumstances, and having large families to clothe and educate, will tiot seo a dollar in money for years. Such a farmer wishes to pur chase a pair of shoes for his wife, he con sults the shoemaker who avers his willing uess to f urnish tho satno for a load of wood. Ho has no wood, but sells a calf for a quantity of adobr, tho adobe for an order on the merchant payable in goods, and tho order for a load of wood, und straightway tho matron is shod. Seven watermelons purchase a ticket for admission to the theatre. He pays for tho tuition of his children tweuty-fivo cabbages per quarter. Tho dressmaker receives for her servicos four squashes per day. He settles his church dues in sorghum molasses. Two loads of pumkins pay his annual subscription to the news paper. He buys a " Ireatiso on Celestial Marriage" for a load of gravel, and a bottle of soothing syrup for tho baby, for a bushel of string beans. In this primi tive method until the advent of tho rail road was ninc-tcnthd of the business of the territory conducted. And even now, in tho moro remote settlements, a major ity of all transactions uro of this charac ter. S&" A fascinating youth of Louisvillo wa, very badly " sold" by tho matron of tho Kentucky State prisou, iu whoso daughter ho seemed to evince a very strong interest while traveling iu a rail road car. Thinking the flirtation had continued long enough, she suddenly changed her seat to tho side of the young man, and whispered in his ear, " Sir, you aro a total stranger to mo ; but I think it may be my duty to warn you of impend ing evil. That young lady is just out of tho State prison." A passenger got off at tho next station. , SUNDAY BE AD IN Q. . Mothers Speak Kindly. Children catch cross words quicker than parrots, and it is a much more mis cievous habit. When mothers set tho ex ample, you will scarcely hear a pleasant word among the children in their plays with each other. Yet tho discipline of sucn a lamily is always weak and irregu lar. The children expect just so much scolding before they do anything they are uiu, winie in many a home, where tho low firm tone of tho mother or the decided look of her steady eye is law, they never think of disobedience, either in or out of sight. O, mother, it is worth a oront deal to cultivato that'cxcellent thing iu woman' low, sweet voice. If vou are ever so much tried bv the mischievous or wilful pranks of the little ones, speak low. It will bo a great help to you to even try to be patient and cheerful, if you caunot suc ceed. Anger makes you wretched, and your children also. Impatient words never did the heart good, but plenty of evil. Read what Solomon say of them, and remember ho wrote with an in spired pen. You cannot have tho excuse for them that they lighten your burdens any ; they make them only ten times heavier. lor your own as well as for Your children's sake, endeavor to learn to speak low. They will remember that tone when your head is under tho willows. So, too, will they remember a harsh and ancrv tone. Which lesracv will you leave to your childreu ? A Hirer In the Ocean. There is a river iu the ocean. In the severest drouths it never fails, and in the mightiest flood it never overflows. Its banks and its bottoms are of cold water, while its current is warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is the Arctic Seas. It is the Gulf Stream. There is in the world no other so majestic flow of water. Its current is more rapid than the Mississippi or tho Amazon, and its volumo moro than a thousand times greater. Its waters, as far out as Caro lina coasts, arc of indigo blue. They aro so distinctly marked that tho lino of junc tion with the common sea water may bo traced by the eye. Often one half of the vessel may be perceived floating in the Gulf Stream water, while the other half is in the common water of the sea, so sharp is the line and the want of affinity between theso waters; and such too, the reluctance, so to speak, on tho part of those of tho Gulf Stream, to minglo with the waters of the sea. In addition to this there is another peculiar fact. The fish ermen on the coast of Norway are sup plied with wood from tho tropics by tho Gulf Stream. Think of the Arctic fish ermen burning upon their hearths the palms of Ilayti, tho mahogany of Hondu ras and the precious woods of the Amazon aud Orinoco. JGtarA young native of the Sandwich Islands while in our country, was spend ing tho evening in a company where an Infidel lawyer tried to puzzle him with difficult questions. At length the native said, " 1 am a poor heathen boy. It is not strange that my blunders in Eng lish should amuse you. Rut soon there will bo a larger meeting than this. We shall all be thero. They will ask us one question, namely, 1 Do you love the Lord Jesus ChristJ" Now, sir, 1 think I can say yes. What will you say, sir ?" When ho had stopped, all present were silent. At length tho lawyer said, " that as tho evening was far gone, they had better conclude it with prayer ;" aud pro posed that tho youth should pray. lie did so ; and as no poured out his heart to God, the lawyer could not conceal Ms feelings. Tears started from his eyes, and he sobbed aloud. All present wept, too; and when they separated, tho words, " What will you say, sir '(" followed the lawyer homo, and did not leave him till he was brought to the Saviour." t&" Habits aro forming like masonry. Every thought seems small, as every brick seems small. And yet, I notice, in tho building that is going up behind my dwelling, that, small, as bricks are, one by one being set in mortar duy by day, and man by man. tho wall thickens, and rises, and solidifies, aud the huge structure is piled up at last. Now, a man's life is mudo up of little thoughts, any one of which is not much, but the multitude of which are like bricks in the bauds oftho builder, The walls of your character ure going up day by day. And you are building, not alone for timo, but for eternity.
