MO.SSER. t-3m FA '''P D 11 1 1111 ',L ALLENTOWN, P THE Maiden with Golden Hain Dr OLIVER. 3. I.ELS.ND Many, many years ago, near by the old Ab bey of Chenes, there was a fountain, a little fountain, which went rippling, rippling along laughingly, through the flowers and the fresh green grass. In the fountain, a large willow bathed its long green hair, and under thiS willow came Jacqueline every evening, at the hour when the night flower opens its chalice. But Jacqueline came not under the tree to drink of the foun tain; for here, at the hour when the night flower opens its chalice, came her lover, Pierre. Pierre was a blacksmith of the country, the handsome 'smith with the proud yet tender glance. Aild every evening they culled with the Caine hand, the little blue flowers which en amelled the borders of the fountain. And when the flowt rs were culled, Pierre would kiss them and conceal them in the bosom of the beautiful Jacqueline with the golden hair. One (welling when Jacqueline came with Pierre under the great willow tree, he grew pale as death.. " Dearest," said she, " vow to rue to love thy Jacqueline as long as the fountain shall glide on." And Pierre answered, "as long aif the fountain shall glide on, so long, and longer, will I lovelny beautiful Jacqueline with the golden hair." He vowed : but one day Jacqueline stood'all alone beneath the great willow tree. She gath ered the little blue flowers while waiting for him, but he came not to place them in the little red bodice. She threw the flowers into the 6 / 1 111(11in and she thought that the fountain wept with her. The next day she came a little sooner and %vent away a little later. She waited ; the nightingales were singing in the woods., the cattle were lowing in the meadow. She waited ; the old abbey clock sounded the hour of the „Angeles; the miller of Nogent chanted his joyous song. Eight days after, Jacqueline came once more to the fountain. She was still alone. "It is over," said she ; it is over !" The soldiers of the king just passed by the brookside.— " Ali !" said she, " he has gone to the war." IMMI She went and knocked at the door of the Abbey. •' It is a poor girl," said she, " who Nvishes to love God alone." They cut caller beautiful golden hair—they sent back to her mother her little bodice and herring of silver. Yet he camp back—he, the blacksmith with the proud eye, yet tender glance. " Jacque line, Jacqueline, where art thou ? The foun tAin still runs on ; it is the hour when the white pizeons seek the dovecot, the hour when the night INwers Open its chalice. Where art thou, Jacqueline ? Where art thou ?" :ilnd eve as he spoke, Pierre saw Jacqueline pass y, arb of the nuns. Poor Jacqueline ! she has lost her golden tai He approached her. " Jacqueline, Jacque line, what hast thou-done with our happiness ? While Iwas a prisoner of war, behold thou has descended into a living tomb. Jacqueline, dar ling, what shall I do at my forge without thee ? Thou, who shouldst have given to me thy smile to cheer my heart, thy brow to embalm my lips, thy neck on which to rest my arms. Thou who shouldst have given to me children as beautiful as angels, to enliven the corner of my fireside. Already I have seen them in my dreams, with their rosy feet, playing on their father's knees, smiling in their mother's arms. Adieu, Jacqueline ; adieu! I will go to• night and bid farewell to the fountain, and to the great willow tree, and to the little blue flow(r And when I have said farewell to all that I loved, I will cut me a staff in the old forest, and I will journey into far °naiads." That evening when Pierre 'came to Sue foun tain, the sun was gilding with his last pale ray, the branches of the great willow tree. It was a huntiug day, and the baying of the dogs and shouts of the huntsmen resounded gaily over the Maine. When Pierre had come under the great willow tree, he shuddered and pressed his hand closely to his heart; for lying on the grass, his head leaning against the stone base of the fountain, he had seen the figure of a nun. " Jacqueline ! Jacqueline !" falling on his knees : and the echo from the Woods answered, sadly, " Jacqueline ! Jacqueline !" With fright and love be raised her in his arms. " Farewell, dear Pierre," she said soft. ly ; since I have prayed to God within those gloomy convent walls, I have felt that I was dying from hour to hour. Already am I dead ; if my heart still beats, it is , so near to thine. Grant me one favor, will you my dear est ? When I am dead, bury me here. I do not wish to return to the convent, where my heart was frozen ; but bury me here, dear Pierre, where I may still hear the rippling of the foun tain and the waving of the branches of the teat willow tree. And in the soft, sweet evenings of the month of May, when the night. ingale sings his tenderest lay down in the woods, I will remember that you have loved me well." • Igrituffure, Rioralifq, Antuamint Market, 1..,.00T08ER 31, 1855. She ceased, and pressing her death cold lips for the last time upon his brow, she breathed her soul away in that last kiss of lore. Thus died Jacqueline, the beautiful maiden with goh:- en hair. The moon, just rising above the mountain top, shed down a sweet, sad• light upon the scene. Pierte. took her in his arms, saying to her a thousand tender words, thinking still that she would answer, hint. But she heard him not. How beautiful she seemed in death, resting her pale face upon the shoulder of her lover, Pierre. All theiiight long Pierre prayed to God for the soul of his dear Jacqueline, sometimes on his knees before the body, sometimes press ing her wildly to his heart. At daybreak, all sobbing, he dug her grave, lined it with the fresh, green grass, glistening with the morning dew, all studded with dowers and pearls. On this funeral bed he placed Jacqueline for eter nity. For the last time he pressed her hand, for the last time belissed her pure white brow. Over her body he scattered all the wild flowers he could gather in the meadow, or at the bor ders of the wood. Upon the wild flowers he threw the earth—earth blessed by holy tears. Slowly he went away. The nuns. on their waking heard the sobs of her lover, Pierre. Since that sad day the smith has never beaten Iron at his forge. Since that sad day, Jacque line has slept to the rippling of the fountain— music sweet to her heart. And in the soft, sweet evenings of the month of May, when the nightingale sings her tenderest lay down there in the woods, she remembers that Pierre has loved her well. And to this day, you can see the little blue flowers growing from her tomb, which is ever green. An Indian Execution in Michigan. The Clinton County (Mich,) Exlu•ess publish es the following, and vouches for its authentici ty. It is certainly a curious history : In different parts of Central Michigan there arc two tribes of Indians, the Ottowas and Chippewas. The . ) , are friendly to each other, and during the hunting season, frequently camp near each other. In the Fall of 1853, a party of one tribe built• their cabins on the banks. of 'Maple river, and at party of the other tribe, about eighty in number, encamp ed in what is now the -town of Dallas. It is unnecessary to speak of their life in these camps—suffice it to say that the days were spent in hunting, and the nights in drinking " fire water" and carousing. In one of the revels at the camp on Maple river, an Indian, maddened by liquor, killed his squaw, and to conceal the deed threw her body upon the fire. Recovering from.the stupor of the revel, he saw the signs of his guilt before him, and fear ing the wrath of his tribe, he fled toward the lother encampment. . His absence was noticed—the charred re mains of the poor squaw were found, and the cry TOT bIgQ.J was raised. The avengers were soon upon his track—tin , pursued him to the encampment of their neighbors=Az was found, apprehended, and in solemn council docn - redttr the death which, in the stern old Indian code; is reserved for those only who shed the blood of their kin. It was a slow, torturing, cruel death. A hatchet was put in the victim's hands. he was led to a large log that was hol low, and made to assist in fixing it for his cof fin. This was done by cutting into it some dis tance on the top, in two places about the length of a man apart, then slabbing of; and digging the hollow until larger, so as to admit his body. This done, he was taken back and tied fast to a tree. Then they smoked and drank of the " flre.water," and when evening came, they kindled large fires around him, at some distance of; but so they would shine full upon him. And now commenced the orgies— they drank to intoxication—they danced and sang in their wild Indian manner, chanting the dirge of •the recreant brave. The arrow was fitted to the bow striog, and ever and anon with its shrill twang it sent a missile into the quivering flesh of the homicide ; and to heigh ten his misery they cut off his cars and nose. Alternately drinking, dancing, beating their rude drums and shooting their arrows into the victim, the night passed. % The next day was spent in eating and drink ing the victim meanwhile still bound to the tree. That his reflections were we of course cannot tell, but he bore his punishment as a warrior should. When night was closed around it brought his executioners to • their work again. The scene of the first night was re-enacted, and so it was the next night, and the next, and so on for a week. Seven long and weary days did he stand there tortured with the most cruel tor ture, before his proud head drooped upon his breast, and his spirit left its clayey tenement for the hunting-grounds of the great Spirit.— And*hen it did they took the body, wrapped it a new clean blanket, and placed it in the log coffin lie had helped to hollow. • They put his hunting-knife by his side that he might have something to defend himself on the way, his Whiskey-bottle that he might cheer his Spirits with a draught now and then, and his tobacco and pipe, that he might smoke. Then they put on the cover, drove down stakes each side of the log, and filled up between them with logs and brush. „Yrie murdered squaw was avenged. The cathp was broken up, and the old stillness and quiet once more reigned over the forest spot where was contu mated this signal act of retributive justice. Our informant has visited the spot often since then ; the log is still there with its cover on ; aryl beneath may still be seen the skeleton of the victim. LOVE SONG. DI ANSONG.

Don't Depend on Father."" Stand up here, young man, and let us talk to you—you who have trusted alone to the con tents of " father's purse," on his fair fame for your influence in business. Think you that father haS attained to eminence in his profes sion, but by unwearied industry ? or that he has amassed a fortune honestly without energy and activity ? You should know that the faculty requisite for the acquiring of fame or fortune, is essential to, nay,•inseparable from, the retaining of either of these. Suppose " father" has the rocks in abundance if 'you never earned anything for him, you have no more business with these " rocks" than a gos ling with a tortoise : and if he allows you to meddle with them till you acquire some by your own industry, he perpetrates mischief. And if e old man is lavish of his cash toward you. while he allows you to while away time, you'd better leave—yes, run away—sooner than be an imbecile, or something worse, through so 'corrupting and influence. Soon or later you must learn to rely on your own resources, or you will not be anybody. If you have become idle, if you have eaten your father's bread and butter, smoked father's cigars, cut it swell in father's buggy, and tried to put on father's in fluence and reputation, you might far better ?rave been a poor canal boy, son of a chimney sweeriitt-tt boot-black—or indeed, we would not swap with yeat the-Situatjon of a half-starv ed motherless calf!
