Indin Religion and Morality.
i writer, wlio resided some time among
ihe FaltHeadlndians and studied with
much interest their character and cus
toms, describes this tribe as believing
of a food and evil spirit.
aiid consequently in a future state of
reward and punisnmentes. ne &iy&
they -held that after death, the good
Indian goes to a country in which there
will be perpetual summer; that, he
will meethis wife and childern; that the
rivers will abound with Pfish, and the
plains with the muchlovedbunalo; and
that he will spend Ms time in hunting
andfishing, free from the terrors of war
or theapprehensionsof cold or famine.
The bad man, they believe, will go to
a place coverd with eternal snow, will
always be shivering with cold, and
will see fires at a distance which he
cannot enjoy, water which he, cannot
procure to quench his thirst; andbuf
falo and deer, which he cannot kill to
appease his hunger. An impenetra
ble wood, full of evolves, panthers and
serpents, separates these " shrinking
slaves of winter" from then fortunate
brethfei&njhe "meadows of ease."
Thehvpunishnient is not however e
ternal, and according to the different
shades of their crimes, they are sooner
or later emancipatd, and permitted to
join their friends in the Elysian fields.
The code of morality adopted by the
Flat Heads, although short, is descri
bed as equally comprehensive, . They
hold thathonesty,bravery ,love of truth
attention to.parents, obedience to their
chiefs, and affection for their wivS and
children are the principal virtues which
entitle them to the place of happiness ;
while the opposite vices condemn them
to that of misery.
A Husband's Duty. When a man's
circumstances are embarrassed, his
conduct in his domestic relations, is of
great importance. As "the prudent
manforseetlithe evil and ludeth him
self," so should he always be careful
that the partner of his worldly fortunes,
who should he his steadfast friend, is
frequently reniinded in prosperity that
misfortune may come. When they do
come, he will not withhold fromher the
fullest confidence. We need not the
unanimous consent of poets and orators
to assure us that the virtue of wnman
shines out in the greatest luster in the
hour of adversity. Then it is that
true affection is tried. Then it is 'that
man finds Mmself possessed of a trea
sure lie knew not of. The tender and
delicate being whom he neverpermit-
ted 'the winds of heaven to visit
roughly." suddenly displays a strength
of character an unyielding spirit of
endurance anaperseveranee, 01 which
no one could have supposed her capa
hle. A woman who truly loves her hus
band, regards his affection and his hon
or as, her dearest eartly treasures.
For the presentation of these she
will endure privation, bear any re
verse, encounter any labor.
Such being the fact, it become a
husband's duty when cares press and
dangers threaten, to make full disclo
sures tpjhis wife respecting themand
also,to take care that no pressure of
outward ills be allowed to disturb the
serenity of home. Let the sun of reli.
giousiliope,. and the dews of pure
affection fall gently on that dear sanc
tity, while the storm-threatens abroad
and when at last the winds & thunders
come, it will afford a secure ratreat
-If the defeated king could proudly
say in his captivity, "all is lost but
honor." the husband who has thus" ad-
ted-wisely, ma- say in Ins adversity,
alibis lost but my honor and my home.'
S-Elie peace and affection which he
has thus preserved .unimpaierd, com-
preueild all Mat is most essential in
the-grandsoiace,pfthevounfled spirit,

Alwaj-s mind yonr dots in writing.
A Maine Congressman on arriving at
Washington, wrote to his wife that he
had "formed a connection with a ve
ry agreeable Mess, and expected to
spend the winter very pleasantly."
Unfortunately, and greatly to the sur
prise and mortification of his'goodlady,
he inadvertently dotted the e in the
word Mess. This circumstance came
well nigh severing two fond hearts.
The times are said to be so hard
that they would make good mill
stones. They certainly are rather
grinding.
