who found it difficult to express his Chris
tian experience in words, cutting up a
piece of fat pine, built with it a small pen,
into which he put a worm, and then set it
on fire. The worm feeling the heat, tried
on every side in vain to escape, and then
curled itself up in the centre to die. At
this moment the Indian thrust in his hand
and gave him liberty, saying, ..That worm

Tax Tows* CHAPEL.—One of the most
eloquent passages in Macaulay's History,
is that in which he describes St. Peter's
Chapel in the Tower, where so many il
lustrious victims of English tyranny lie
buried. The paragraphs occur in the exe

*The head and body were placed in a
coffin covered with black velvet, and were
laid' privately under the communion table
of St. Peter's Chapel, in the Tower.—
'Within four years the pavement of that

INDIAN tIARBARITY.
The following. which •we copy from a
letterin the Virginia Free Press, written
on the 10th ult. from St. Joseph's, .Mis
soon, shows that, although the Indians on'
that frontier are so much with the whiter
and intelligent agents and pious Mission
arias do all they . can- to humanize and
Christiania, e them, yet they still seem to
retain all their savage instincts : •
"On the 18th of last month two gentle
men and q lady were returning from Fort
Kearney, bringing with them a beautiful
Pawnee girl some 16 years of age, between
whom and themselves a strong attachment
had grown. She was leaving her nation
and "a, life in the woods," to live with
them in the States. As they passed through
the nation of the Sacs and Foxes they
were met by , . Ta,cal-o-per, a . warrior of
those tribes, who desired to purchase the
Pawnee girl, and !offered his horse for her.
The 'offer was, of course, refused. 'He
turned and left them, as they supposed for
ever ; but riding at full speed lo the vil
lage, he hastened to the wigwam of Par.-
a-wab, the nephew of the chief Ne-saw-a
qnet, where he found Pac-a-wah and Alla
qua-sack, a fierce and powerful warrior,
quietly reposing. Ile aroused. thorn In
stantly. and told them of the beautiful
Pawnee girl, when all three sprung upon
their horses and dashed off in pursuit.—
The travellers were soon overtaken. Al
la-qua-sack rushed upon the party and tore
the Pawnee girl from her horse and bore
her off with the swiftness of an arrow,
while her screams rent the air and pene
trated with fearful distinctness far into the
recesses of the forest. The whites, though '
armed, made no resistance. }lid they
shown the slightest resistance, they might
I have saved her. She was taken to the
village. The warriors, squaws and child-1
ren, gathered around to see her. There
has been a deadly hostility existing be
tween those nations and the Pawnties, and
the poor girl had a presentiment of her
doom. Approaching Pac.a.wah, who is
a young warrior jtist in the morning of his
manhood, and who, we should suppose,
would be moved to gentler feeling by such!
appeals, she begged him to protect her,
offering to be his slave if he would spare
her life I - when instead of shielding her
front harm, ho deliberately raised his ri
fie and shot her through the heart. lie
then scalped her and severed her head '
fium her body. The bead was stuck up
on a Ole, around which they all assem
bled. The headless and bleeding body
was then thrown into their midst, when
they seized it and dismembered it, and
cut it into small pieces, every one, men,
women and children, holding palpitating
fragments, while they yelled and danced
with diabolical rejoicings around the ghast
ly monuments of their savage cruelty.
"They then bore the reeking head to
the lowa village, where they held a feast
and dance. The lowas were 'invited to
their village on the 10th to have a great
feast. On the morning of that day, Sace
Foxes and Towns, of all ages and sexes,
had met upon the praire preparitory to the
approaching festivity, and all were in
glee when they moved of in wild and con
fused procession to the scene of rejoicing.
"In the mean time information had been
conveyed to Col. Vaughen of what was
going on, and he had despatched a runner
to Fort Leavenworth for a detachment of
dregoons, who arrived-nn the morning of
the 19th, just as the wild concourse were
proceeding to the place of the feast. As
the Indians ascended one hill, they came
over the brow of nue opposite, and all ap
peared instantaneously, and unexpectedly
to the Indians, who, surprised ltd alarm
ed, scampered 'away in every possible di
rection. The dragoons pursued them to
the village and went to the wigwam of Ne
eaw-a-quet, and demanded the murderers.
He said he did not know who they were.
They th,pn seised Ne-saw-a-quet, atthe
instance of Col. Vaughan, to hold until the
murderers were given up. In a very short
time they were brought in by a party of
braves. and, bound and taken, off to the
fort."

ORIGIN 'CI? inAtTlifOliiDAY
The folio wing account of the origin of
that interesting "day o. the Mender,"
known as "Blue Monday," or "Siint
Monday," as they call it in Ireland, we
find in in old English publication :--
A custom hid prevailed for a long time
in Germany for persons who were em
ployed in the lower kinds of trade to con
sider Monday a day set apart for idleness,
nor could any inducement prevail upon
them to apply themselves to work on that
day. This was not only the custom of
master-tradesmen, but they also indulged
their journeyman and other. servants its
the same priviledge. On these occasions
the common people had recourse to drink-I
ing and every species 01 debauchery.- 1
1
This injurious practise of keeping Blue!
Monday, as it was called, prevailed tol
such a degree, that this day was distin
guished by outrages, tumults, and riots of
every description. All means for restrain
ing such licentious behavior were ineffec
tual ; menaces of punishment were disre
garded, and the rioters took every oppor
tunity of abusing those who opposed
them. At length they dispersed the f01..'
lowing declaration throughout the princi
pal cities of the empire :
"Bstyrniesr:—We inform you that no
man who is a brave fellow (ein braver
ked) will ever work in any city or town
on the Blue M onday; if he does, he may
expect the consequences,and that soon.—
We have been under the necessity of a
dopting this measure, to preserve our
rights,"
This atrocious conduct excited so gen
eral an alarm, that the emperor, Joseph
the Sewed, the diet and the minor poten
tates of Germany, forseeing the baneful
and fatal conseqtiences it would of neces
sity produce in trade, published an edict,
by virtue of which, not only every-abuse
was remedied, but the custom of keeping
Blue Monday was entirely abolished.—
The punishment inflicted on the delinquent
was, six ye era in irons. and hard labor
during that time on the fortifications.
In some places the journeyman at first
paid no attention to this edict; the punish
ment, however, was immediately put in
execution, and more than twenty of the
ring-leaders experienced the force of it.—
The other trades-people, when the execu
tion of this rigorous but necessary law was
inflicted on their comrades, returned to or
der; and since that salutary measure took I
place, Blue Monday is hardly ever men
tioned or thought of.

WASHING DAY IN GERMANY
The Boston Traveller has extracts of a
letter from an American lady in Germany
to her mother, from which the following
account of the German washing day, or
washing weekoiscoppied :
It is one of the chief glories of Gernian
housewives to possess abundance of linen.
and for the purpose of displaying their
wealth they put off their washing till all
is used up—some three weeks, some six,
some half a yen, and those who are more
affluent have washing but once a year.
Every house contains a "Schwartz
waschkamer," where the dirty clothes arc
kept hung up on poles or lines in the air.
When the drawers and presses are nearly
empty. two or three washerwomen are
hired, who come in at two in the morning,
and take each a cup of coffee and some
hread, which is repeated at the usual break
fast time. In the fornenoon :hey have
again bread, with wine or cider ; dine at
twelve and at three or four they have a
gain a cup of coffee with bread. and then
trash till sapper, at eight. (What' would
our working women say to so many hours
incessant labor f] They wash in vary
large oval tubs, at which four or five can
stand at once. 8o it goes on for several
days, according to the windier of eicithes.,
The remaider of the week islpent in iron
ing—sheets, pillow-cures, and all the un
gathered clothes are mangled, and towels,
stockings, children.' handkerchiefs. dtc.,
are only folded. During the week no one
in the family can think of'anythiag bet The
wash. and by the end of it, some have sore
hands, (for they use lye) and olltreout of
humor. When I tell them how
less disturbance our week's wash Makes,
they acknowledge it is .a better, way, but
say they for people would think they.bad „
but two shirts apiece, if they were to wash
but once a week. And others answer that
if the A meriearts wash every 'week they,
can do nothing else, for on washing week
no one can think of any thing besides. It
made me think of the old lady who won.
dared how people could comb their heads
every day, when she could hardly bear to
comb her's on Thanksgiving 'day." 1*
