How 10 put out a fre.-A gentleman
of our acquaintance was lately alarmed
by the outcry of sire" in his neighbor-
hood. On looking out of the window
he perceived people gathering in front
of his own house, and he soon ascertain
ed that the fire was issuing from the top
of his own chimney, which had only
few days previously been swept He
had but short time before read in the
newspapers, those perennial sources Of
valuable truths, that when a chimney
was on fire, little Of the flour of sui
phur thrown on the hearth and burnt,
would efl'cctnally check thas burning IL
hove. He laid lis hand al once on IL
bout pound of excellent sulphur, as
ceuded To Tie TOP of The chimney. and
poured down the whole of the iaiiarIan
connection and anxious TO see how
such dose would operate, he put his
face over the flue ofihc chimney i~ look
down upon the conquered enemy, when
there flashed up broad blaze Of yellow
and blue fire, withssuch an o'erpower-
ing sulphurous gas, that lie was thrown
flat and helpless on the roof cf the house
and when he "came to-" he resolved the
next time he administered a dose of sui
phur for such an inhammatory COM
plant, not to go to the top of the Chin
ney, but to let the medicine operate in
Its own way.-PMiadeL y. s. Caz.

SINGULAR ORNAMENTS AMONG THE In
DIAHs.-Their females have singular mode
of ornamenting themselves. They bore
hole through the upper lip, as low down TO.
wards The chin as possible, and stick several
long thongs in the aperture, with tho
points projecting outwards. Observing
that several Of the tribe had decorated their
lips with common pins, ! gave one Of the
squaws few that happened to have in my
possession. She Immediately called 10 her
girl of about twelve years old, (apparently
heI daughter) who had not, rs yet beeh dis
tinguished by this ornament, pierced her lip
with equal Indifference and dexterity, with a
sharp instrumen, made ofan aligator's tooth
and placed the pins in the orifce. The poor
girl bore this operation with great patience,
and appearedto be perfectly consoled by
the possession ofhcr new acquired ornament
for the pain it must have given her, Cam.

country where lived brave men never
allowed their Squaws to frigh,en them
with their foolish whims and stories /;
they all Immediately arose shook me by
the hand, and dressed themselves for their
pictures. There was no difficulty after
that about sittings, all were ready to sit
the Squaws we're silent, and my paint
ing room was continual resort for them,
where they waite d with impatience to see
the completion of each picture that they
could laugh, sing a new song. &c. &c.
l was .hen often taken by the arm by the
Chiefs and led to their lodge, where a
feast was prepared for me in their best
style. In this manner was taken from
one lodge to another, and treated in the
most cordial manner. There Is an uni
versal disposition In the Indian charac-
:er to admire curious works of ant, and
particularly for paintings, for which they
seem to have the greatest passion, il is
not, therefore, to be wondered at that
they were astonished at an operation so
novel and unthought of by them, and
that should, for once in my life, have
been considered great man and great
painter.

A SCENE OF WONDER.

Mr.. Geo. Catlin, an American painter,
of some eminence, spent part of the last
summer with the Mandans, tribe of
Indians on the Upper Missouri. He
commenced taking portraits of their
chiefs, Says he -
Perhaps nothing ever more completely
astonished these people than the opera
tions of my brush. Soon after arriving
in their village, invited and painted the
two principal Chiefs in few minutes
after having exhibited them, it seemed as
if the whole village was crowding upon
me to see them. l was obliged to stop
painting, and place them high in con-
spicuous place, where all could see them.
The likenesses were recognised, and
some commenced yelling, some singing
others crying. The next curiosity was
to see me, and so great was the rush up
on me tha: was in danger of suffocating.
The eager curiosity and expression Of
as!onishment with which they gazed up
on me, plainly showed that they consid-
cred me some strange being. They
soon resolved that l was the greatest
"medicine" man in the world, for they
said had made living beings--they said
they could see them laugh, and il they
could laugh they could speak, &C., and
must be alive. The Squaws soon raised
a cry against me in the village, saying
that | was dangerous man, that ] could
make living persons by looking at them,
! could kill them when l pleased, and
that some bad luck would happen to
those whom painted. In this way they
excited fears in the minds Of number
of Chiefs who had agreed to sit my opc-
rations were, of course completely at "A
stand. finally had an interview with a
number of them, and assured them that
was but man like themselves that my
art had no medicine or mystery about il,
but could be learned by any Of them if
they would practice as long as had.

The Quaker passed on from land to land,
With the lowly heart, and the open hand,
OF one who felt where he soon must stan d
And his final account give in,
For long had he made up his sober mind,
That he could not depart, fully resigned
With the ample fields Of the earth behind,
No better than he had been.
And brigh, was the spot where the Quaker
came,
To leave it his hat, his drab, and his name,
That will sweetly sound from the trump ol
Fame,
Till its final blast shall die.
The city he reared from the sylvan shade,
His beautiful monument now is made
And long have the rivers their pride dis
played
In the scenes they are rolling by.

From the New York Standard i.
SMALL CHANGE.


As through the city, every day,
In mournful mood range,
Each object that meet, find,
Has undergone change.
The lady Of my love, a.LAss,
Has provd to mo unkind:
She says that am sadly chang'd,
And she, has changd her-mind.
Said you've chang'd your mind to catch
My ugly, rich, friend Will,
But people every day change notes.
Said she, "rll not change Bill"
So I suspect that waat Of change
Is all the change in me,
For though to me, that wants no change,
1t changes all see.
lfIhave chang'd, from want of change,
'Tis plain I've chang'd from want,
And yet, "your change you have from me"
Said she, "and so avaunt"
My fortune is so disarrangd,
neer can it arrange,
And though the changes may sing,
ne'er can sing tho change.

From the American Mercury.
FORGET THEE!

Forget thee bid the earth forget
Its viewless track around the sun
Bid Natures energies remit
Winds cease to blow or waters run.
Forget thee BID the swelling sea
Forget to heave beneath the moon;
Or bid all being cease to be,
And they shall heed thy words as soon.
Bid yon bright stars that have their birth
Far in immensely ofblue,
That nightly smile on sleeping earth
And light up diamonds in the dew.
Yea, bid them all, in darkness set,
Cease evermore the world to bless,
But tell not me may forget
hate that word-forgegatness.

to which the President expresses his reli-
ance ON the disposition Of each depart
ment of the government to perform its
duty. Whilst forbearing spirit may,
and he trusts will, be exercised towards
the errors Of our brethren in a particular
quarter, duty to the rest of the Union
(says the President,) demands that open

not be executed with impunity. He
