sailors had been hired by the manager h rep
resent the IlngliHh an'! French forces, but they
utterly refused to I e Frenchmen; they would
not jiut on the enemy's jackets at any price;,
so that the manager had to procure landsmen
to represent Napoleon's army. In oiie part
of the play the English forces were to run f rom
the French, but instead of this they s col their
gicund, and actually pitched all the French
army into the orchestra, among the fiddlers!

site us was some six or eight land-lubbers, a
h.icting the Mounseers. The .skipper' of the"
siiow-folks told us after we'd sq nibbed ofl our
muskets over the Mounseers' heads, to turn
and run away from the French. In course,
this here was hard work for Jack tars as had
sirved their country for twenty year, 1 5 bo
told to run away, from half a dozen land-lub-bcrs,
pretending to be French. . -
"Well, it warn't no use o'kickin' up a row
then, (this was at a reiiearsal,) but at night

you retreat ?' :

The vast hunting region of which the far
known Pawnee Rock is the centre, was for
years the dark and bloodv scene of Indian
warfar?. '
' Defeated, and in in every war h:. rubied, the
Pawnees' became emasculate and panic-stricken,
taking game" by fsteaTt.i, and flying from
the shadow of pursuit. It is related by Sage
that on one occasion, being out with his friend
Grin, in search of a fertile st impede at which
to recrrtit their teams, the' dial wandered
some' miles out of sight of the c iravan, whciT,
descending the ri d?e or a.mdund into the hol
low beyond, they were summarily confronted
by a Injdy of Pawnees. Without pausing to
reflect, the traders turned their horses' heads
and galloped hack the way they had come.
The redskins gave rapid - chase," and r their ar
rows began to whistle on the still air. . !': '

THUS IS LIFE.
' If we rUe to-d.iy, the sun will shine as brigfct
ly, and the birds sing 'as sweetly to-morrow
Business will not be suspended a moment, and
the great mass will not bestow a thought upoo
our memories. "Is he dead I" will be the
solmn inquiry of a few, as they pass to their
work. But no one will miss us exce:t our
immediate connections, and in a short timo
they will forget us, and laugh as merrily ai
when we sat beside them. Thus shall we all,'
now active in life, pass away. Our children
crowd close behind us, and they will soon bo
gone. In a few years, not a living being cut

age, and did business with those' Mho slumber
in the tomb. Thus is life. . How rapidly' it
