SOLID CHARMS.
"Whut tender signs and trickling tear,
Ionps for a thousand Mounds a year"

Longs for thousand pounds year." BUTLER.
"Upon my SOUL" exclaimed Ned Grumpton, as
he knelt before the Widow Wlmple, " / love the
very ground you stand upon"
This was in fact no exageration-no flattery.--
1t was literally true, for she happened to be stand
ing on her own ground, which was part and parcel
Of very valuable farm. The widow was pretty
old, and prodigious homely. Ned was young and
well looking. The Widow was rich, and Ned was
poor. He therefore spoke the truth, when he pro.
fessed an affection for the Widow land--which is
no more than every lover feels himself bound to
do.
al love the very ground you stand upon," said
he, selling her hand and kissing it with great
zeal.
al dare say it's my ground you love-" said the
Widow, Ieering kindly upon him, and graciously
permitting him to devour her wrnkled hand.
:" swear by"
"Tut tut" said the Widow pressing her hand
upon his mouth, "you mustn't swear"
By your bright eyes, was going to say" said
Ned.
"oh you fattering iogue!" exclaimed the old
lady, leegng still more kindly upon the ardent low
er-"you don't mean what you say, now you don't"
"Do you want me to swear il again! By hea.
vens, Madam, you have forty thousand charms!"
"Ah now you are thinking of dollars all the
time. That's the way with you men when you
talk of our charms, you think only of our money,
our houses, lands, goods and chattcls."

LIVES OF THE NDIANS-PoCAHONT
A very interesting work has recently been in
corporated by the Harpers into their Family Ll-
brsry, of which it constitutes two Volumes 1t is
t'Thacher's Indian Biography" and gives an his
torical account of all who have been distinguish
ed among the North American Indians, as wari-
ors, orators, statesmen, and other remarkable char
acters. 1t includes biographies OF Powhatan,
Pocahontas, Opechancanough Nemattanow, Mas
sasoit Alexander, Philip, Miantonimo, Uncas,
Tecumseh, Red Jacket, &c, and abounds with
episodes of deep and thrilling interest. The
whole history is one that should be familiar TO the
mind of every American reader; and, while il
cannot fail 10 entertain, it must also instruct The
children of the forest are rapidly passing away
from the face of the earth, and the wretched rel
les of their former powerful tribes that are occa

our towns and cities, can impart 10 the observer
no lust idea of the of the forest in his pristine
and natural character and before he was corrupted
and BETRAYED by the arts and immoralities of the
white man. A perusal Of this work will give {

AN OTTER. HINT.

The old otter killer stood beside us: the rush
ing of the stream prevented us from noticing his
approach. He had been examining his traps and
as the way was rugged, he was delayed till now.
The old mans appearance in this place and at that
hour, was picturesque. His dark dress, his long
white hair falling down his shoulders, the seaskin
wallet, the fish-spear, and the rough terrier, his
companion, all were in perfect keeping. SWELL,

wide expanse Of objects, the feeling was never

amphitheatre of forest and mountain was lighted
by fitful sunshine, momentarily obscured by
passing clouds.
While we stood sheltered by a corner of the
