hundred years shall roll away--
A. century beyond today;
But you, nor I, nor any one
Now living, shall behold that sun.
Not one—and all these millions gone
Before the lifting of that dawn I
These stars shall flash along the skies,
But not a gleam shall light our eyes.
There shall be armies, thrones and states,
With all their unpredieted fates
Yet none of millions now in power
6411 move the hand, or tongue, that hour
The sceptre, banner sword and pen,
Shall find the hands of other men;
And other tyrant heels shall tread
Upon the slave's uplifted head.
The wend'iing ships shall come and go,—
But manned by those we do not know;
The breeze, that wafts them o'er the waves
Shall bend the flowers upon our graves.
Along these streets shall move such crowds,
When these lie silent in their shrouds,
The same unending rounds of cares,
Which now aro ours, shall then he theirs.
The plough ehall turn the grassy plain—
The sickle reap the }olden plain ;
But those who now the valley till
Shall each lie slumbering on his hill.
Where now we sit in twilight bowers,
With music, kisses. love and flowers,
Shall others call the rising moon
To hear their vows—forgotten soon.
The Lyre that now through nations rings,
Shall voieeles lie with broken strings ;
But earth shall not be silent then,
For coming days shall bring their men.
Will all these millions thus be gone
Before the lifting of that dawn ?
The hords from mountains, plains and woods
Become Death's silent multitudes
Like shakiowe o'er the fields of Rasa,
This living century shall puss ;
And fading as a summer eve,
The earth, to those who follow, leave.
The Press, and Commerce, Church and state
Must gain from others future fate ;
For you —nor I—nor any one
Now living, shall behold that sun.

influences which every parent is capable
of exerting to greater or less advantage.—
We quote front an address detivered before
the State Normal school at Albany :

“Speaking, then, of things which 'are
ever and above the elementary instruction
you have to import, I would say to you
emphatically, that just in proportion as
you improve yourselves in all the respects
to which I have now referred, in just such
proportion will you contribute to the im

to recognize and admire what is admirable

teacher—which works upon the young.
drawing them into a resemblance to itself
and doing more to improve their minds,
their hearts, and their manners, than can
be effected by the most diligent inetruc-
Om in mere book knowledge.
Take the children and youth who are
often collected together in a rural school,
and not one of whom, perhaps, has ever
enjoyed the privilege of familiar comma•
ideation with a person of real refinement
and cal ivation ; and what a w e,. er it
must be to II ern, and what a blessing, to
find themselves daily looking upon, listen
ing to, conversing with a teacher who
seems a superior being ; a being -in 'sited
with a wonderful charm, fro% the gentle•
ness and dignity of his or her manners;
the elevation of sentiments; the swe etn,s
and gravity of his speech; and the wide
range of his thoughts!
They behold human character irk a
more engaging form than ever before ; and
while they admire, they learn to imitate.
They perceive that there is something
more excellent than their coarse manners
and slovenly speech ;, nod they hecotne
chastened and refined under the daily ex
ample, almost without thinking of it.—
The teacher reasons with caution and dis •
crimination in their presence ; in•
to admiration of Tone lofty trait of vir
tue ; or expresses horror at some instance
of meanness, cruelty or depravity ; or ex
ercises patience and tenderness towards
some infirm and wayward pupil; or potato
out something exquisit. ly beautiful in
thought and sentiment and character ; and
es they look on and listen they begin to
feel more deeply what is noble and what
is mean, they begin to perceive what it is
to reason accurately.
"The character and demeanor of the I
teacher is a new revelation of goodness
and wisdom, and they are glad to become
disciples ; their tntellectual and moral na
ture catches a glow, is put into a health
ful exercise. and they gain more by a kind
of infection, and transfusion from the one
superior character than they could acquire
from tho greatest amount of mere cold
and barren lessons. Accurate and vigor
ous instructions these must of course be—
without that it is mere folly and itnperti•
nence to pretend to the higher influences
of which I have been s, caking. Hut the
higher the culture of the teacher, the bet•
ter he will know how to make that instruc
tion pleasant and effective; and bow to
throw over it and around it beautiful and
touching lessons for the heart, the fancy
and the tnste.
...‘nd, if we conceive that in that rus
ti, school, to Which I have referred, there
may be some youthful heart pregnant with
celestial tire, some mind with slumbering
powers, only needing to be rightly touch•
ed, we can easily see that a thoughtful ge
nial teacher would be the one to call forth
such a spirit, and to teach it the exercise
of its faculties; while a mere mechanical
task-master would very likely stupefy it,
aad seal it up in everlasting torpor. fled
we a child of our own to confide tct the
care of a teacher, how much we should
desire that the teacher might be competent
for something more than mere dull routine
of verbal drilling—hir much we should
wish that he might have s unething reflec
tive about him—that he 'night know how
to assist the conceptions uf his pupil—that
he might be able to call attention to a beau
tiful thought, or a beautiful scene in na
ture, and so . to kindle the feeling and im
agination; to wake up the soul of the
young disciple *

in almost any other way, that n•e con

A REMARKABLE NARRATIVE.
Mr. %%illiuw liuiley, f;iriner:y of Lynn.
ville, Ogle• County, in this State, called u,..
on us and related the following thrilling
and remarkable narrative. From his de
scription of places and things which he
saw, we are perfectly nudged that his
statement is correct imevery respect. k
g. Wit-man from this city, who tins travelled
over the country he describes, assured us
that 110 person who hail not visit, d these
places and witness, d what he describes,
could ever have related what he related
He converses in several different lactate
languages, and appears to have paid close
atta mom to what ho saw passing around
him, during his sojourn among the savages.
Ile lurked well and hearty, and with the
exception ui his bands being torn by some
wounds from a tom .bawk. he seems to
have suffered no damage. Ile left on the
cars last evening for Logan Cou n ty, where
his mother resides.
Mr. Bailey left here some eighteen
months ago ttith a party of nine persona
to engage is driving tennis from the Cu if of
Mexico to the Rio Grande. They landed
at Indianola and hired to a man !mined
Ross to drive team for hits, Thr y drote to
Nuces river, and camped there. While
asleep their mules were stolen by the In
dians. They prepared the next day to
follow them, and came up with them at
sunset. They saw six Indiana, fired and
killed them all, when they were attacked
by about three hundred, who were secreted
in the woods, and who immediately fired
upon the white men, all but Mr. Bai
ley, whom they took prisoner.. They then.
took hirn back to the wagons, which they
Plundered of all the era's and ammunition
in them. They took two boxes of Govern
ment Colt a revolver's and twenty kegs of
powder. The prisoner was stripped of 111
his clothing and bound hand and foot upon
a pony. They then started for their en
campment in the IVitchataw mountains,
which place they reached after eleven
dais' hard riding.
They remained in camp about a week,
and then starter' on a robbing expedition to
attack a train nn the Santa Fe ?cond. They
remained about five days waning when a
merchant train came along. They oroceed
ed to surprise the train, and killed every
person with it, took Ike goods and mules
belonging to the train and started for the
Kickupoo settlement, traded off the mules
for ponies and returned to the Witchataw
Mountains.
The prisoner was kept strictly confined
during the night with pieces of raw hide,
to a limb of a tree, us high up as he could
reach and stand on the ground. During
the day ho wns allowed to lie down anti
sleep a few hours. During the time Mr.
Bailey was with them they went on five
robbing expeditions, taking him always a
long with then]. The last merchant train
they robbed , they Souk two men prisoners
who had bravely defended themselves till
their weapons were all discharged, and
who had killed twelve of the red skins
These two were then taken tied to a stake
and skinned n ive. Mr. Bailey was pla
ced close to them and compelled to witness
this horrible scene. Every time he closed
his ayes they punched hint with spears
and bayonets until he opened them, and
looked on this Scotia of revolting horror.--
They then tools the skin reeking with warm
blood, and slapped him around the face
with It, covering hint with blood, and tel
ling him if he tried to escape this should
be his (air•.
One of these excursions was against the
United States mail wagons. They killed
the five men with them, tore open the let
ters, got out the money, and after cutting
out the pictures from the bank bills, threw
them away. They kept all the new§pe

fished.
For three nights after this they did not
tie hint up,liut„kitt :,:tord over him. The
third night they had a big war dunce. and
in the excitement forgot Mr. Bailey. While
dancing around their fire in front of the
tent, he crawled out under the back of the
tent, seized one of the ponies and escaped.
He was soon plisse'', and was followed for
five days. At the expiration of that time
they came so cl se on him that they fired
at him, which obliged him to leave his
horse and take to the mountains. For,u
nately, he found a small cave just large
enough to crawl into, in which place he
remained for a day and a half, the Indians
being so near him that he could hear their
footsteps as they searched for him.
He remained in this position until he
was assured his pursuers had left, when
he emerged front his concealment, and
made a straight shoot for the Kickai tie
settlement, about 600 miles distant. In
about a month he reached the longed-far
point, where he hoped to find friends and
assistance. Nor was he disappointed in
this. lle was kindly furnished food and
clothing by the Kickapoos. He had sub
silted fur the whole month previous to this
on birch roots, which he dug with his
hands on his lonely march. While with
the Comanches he was fed on raw horse
flesh. Not a very pleasant diet, truly
The Kickapoos treated him very kindly,
and showed hunt on his long journey to ci
vilization.
After leaving them, four days' journey
brought him to the Chicicatilw's camp,
front whence he proceeded to the Choctaw
nation, who treated him in the most hu
mane manner. He journeyed on to the
Shuwitee nation, whore he one welcomed
to the best they had in their lodges. Lea
ving them, he next reached the Cherokees,
and then made fur Missouri. which State
he made -nine ttventy wiles north of the
;Neosho. From thence he came to tit.
Louis, and then to this cat.; having trav
eled constantly and steadily on loot for
over two months.
As stated before, he left here last even.

To BALD HEADED MEN..--We were in
formed of a remedy, the other day, to
bring out the hair on bald heads, that will
most likely create a sensation among all
such individuals as are owners of but little
covering upon their cranium. Let them
try it; we'ill insure it to be infallible :
Take one pint of castor oil, half a pint of
turpentine, two ounces of bitumen, and a
gill of camphino. Shake them like blazes
rub it into the bald spot, and perfectly sat
urate what hair you have left. Plan of
operation—when the hair is perfectly
damp and stick with this compound, touch
it with a lighted candle. If this does not
fetch it out, then it is past feiching.
