George Cornish a native Of London, was
brought up to the sea After making several
VOYAGES to the East Indies in the capacity of
mate, he obtained the command of ship in the
country trade there, and passed many years of
his life in sailing from one port to another of the
company's different settlements, and residing at
intervals on shore with the superintendent Of
their commercial concerns, Having by these
means acquired a moderate fortune and being
now beyond the meridian of life, he felt strong
desire of returning to his native country, and
seeing his family and friends. concerning whom
he had received no tdings for long period
He realised his property, settled his affairs, and
taking his passage for England, arrived in the
Downs after an absence of sixteen years
He Immediately repaired to London, and went
TO the house Of an only brother, whom he had
left possessed of genteel place in public of
fee. He found that his brother was dead and
the family broken up, and he was directed to
the house of one of his nieces, who had married
and settled at small distance from the town
On making himself known, he was received with
great respect and affection by the married niece,
and single sister who resided with her: to
which good reception, the idea of his bringing

FACT.


The following interesting fact OF d
Young Indian Chief, of the Pawnee ma
ton. at the foot Of the Rocky Noun
tains, who was on a visit to Washing
ton IN the winter Of 1924, is extracted
from a letter Of the Rev. Richd. Reece,
to the editor of the London Wesleyan
Methodist Magazine:
"This young warrior, OF ii ne size,
figure and ~ceuntenance, is nov about
% years old. Atthe age of 81, his he
roic deeds had acquired for him in his
nation. the rank Of "the 6rarest OF the
6ravs." The savage practice Of tor
turing and burning to death their prl-
soners, existed in this nation. An un-
fortunate female taken in war with the
Peduca nation was destined to this
horrible death. The fatal hour had
arrived, and the trembling victim Tar
from her home and her friends was fas-
tened to a stake; the whole tribe was
assembled on the surrounding plain, to
witness the awful scene. Just when
the wood was about to be kindled, and
The spectators were on the tiptoe o TEX
recitation, this young warrior, who sat
composedly among the chiefs, having
before prepared Two feet horses, with
the necessary provisions, sprans from
his seat, rushed through the crowd
Ioosed the victim, seized her in hi
arms, placed her on n Of the horses,
mounted the other himself, and made
the utmost speed toward the nation and
friends Of the captive. The multitude,
dumb and ~nerveless with amazement
at the daring deed, made no effort to
rescue their victim from her deliyerer.
They viewed it as the act Of the Great
Shirt, submitted to it without a muir
muir, and quietly retired to their VII
LACE. The released captive was &C.
companied through the wilderness to-
ward her home, till she was out OF
danger. He then gave her the horse
ON which she rode, with the necessary
provisions for the remainder OF her
Journey, and they parted. On his re-
turn to the village, such was the res
nect entertained for him, that no inqui-
~ was made into his conduct; no cen
sure was passed on it; and since this
transaction, no human sacrifice has
been offered in this or any other OF the
pawnee tribes. Of what influence 1:
one bold act in a good cause!

A sailor who had been many years
absent from his mother who lived in
an inland town in England, returned to
his native village, after a variety OF
voyages to different parts Of the globe,
and was welcomed by the good old
woman, who had considered him as
lost. Soon after his arrival, the old
lady became inquisitive, and DESTROYS

the officers Of Engineers and Artillery, who,
remarked, were q distinct body from the Of

military etiquette in intercourse.
There was a frank poEteness among these
officers which made their society very agreea-

decoration of that of the Bourbons, since. In

AFFECTING STORY.

Some time ago, a young man took
up his residence in a Scottish vii
lage, much celebrated for its delightful
situation and mineral waters. During
his stay he succeeding in gaining the
affections of a very amiable young girl,
daughter Of the person with whom he
lodged. He told her he was a younger
branch of a most respectable family in
the north of Scotland, and that owing
to some domestic misfortunes, he was
then in a kind of exile from his ia
theirs house. BY this representation,
he had the address to draw money, toa
considerable amount, from the affec-
tionate and trusting girl. At length,
pretending business, he took leave, So
lemnly pledging to return in a few
weeks, and make her his wife. About
three months after his departure, a let
ter was delivered 10 her, dated from q
Jail in the south of Scotland. II prov

a short time after leaving her, he had,
from necessity, contracted a triaing

valued his regard, to relieve him from
a situation SO unworthy. The faithful
girl, listening only to the dictates of
her love, Sc, off Immediately, with a

POETRY.

From the Wheeling Gazette.
THE EYE OF GREY.
Poets have praised the eye ofblack,
And eulogised the melting blues
Have laid their fancy on the rack,
To celebrate each varied hue;
But no, one single word they say,
About the pleasing eye ofgrey'
like the mild grey eye-the faces
Imost have loved, had eyes Of grey
And if each glance emits not blazes'
As those of black, know that they
Possess a charm that can subdue
Hearts that withstood both black and blue
The fair is fair, with eyes of black
With eyes of grey, is still more fair;
For what the last in life may lack,
Is made up by the softer air,
I-r~-..I IN the lovely faces,
That grey and blue so often graces.
The black may pierce the gazer through,
And make the lighted spirits dance
Our souls may melt before the blue,
Or die away in pleasures trance
Butt will stin my homage pay,
To the enchanting eye of grey,
The eye that kindly beams on me,
Shall always meet like return
And will bend the ready knee,
where'er those glances melt or burn;
And idolize the lovely hue.

Turks, when they, at a distant day, assaulted
Naples. The celestial costume, and that or
the turbanned Mahometans, form a singular
contrast.
The priest showed q tomb of most superb
and rich workmanship, where repose the
bones ofthis Saint. He added that the church

and delight of true believers.
