Mr.. Shuffleton Pope once more set off for

What might have happened-whether
Mr.. Shuffleton Pope was correct in his

been this time successful, it is impossible
to say. He set off 10 London on foot, for

INDIAN GIVING,

The following extract from Mr. Irving's
new work will give the reader some idea
ofa cunning western savage's notions Of
generosity and friendship:
Captain Bonneville slept in the lodge of
venerable patriarch Of the Nez Perces,
who had evidently conceiveda a most disin-
terested affection for him, as was shown
on the following morning.
The travellers invigorated by good
supper, and fresh from the bath of re-
pose, We're about to resume their Journey,
when this afectionate old chief took the
captain aside, to let him know how very
much he loved him. AS proof Of his
regard he had determined to give him a
fine horse, which would go further than
words, and put his good will beyond all
question.
So osaying, he made signal, and forth
with beautiful young horse, of brown
color, was led prancing and snorting to the
place. Captain Bonneville was suitably
affected by this mark Of friendship, but his
experience in what is proverbialy called
Indian giving made him aware that a
parting pledge was reciprocated. He ac-
cordinglv placed handsome rifle in the
hands of the venerable. chief, whose be-
nevoIent heart was evidently touched and
gratifed by this outward and visible sign
ofsamity.
The worthy captain having now, as he
thought, balanced his little account of
friendship, was about to shift his saddle
to this noble gift horse, when the afec-
tionate patriarch pIucked him by the
sleeve and introduced HIM to whimper-
ing, whining, leathern-skinned old squaw,
that might have passed as an Egyptian
mummy, without drying.
"This,' said he, is my wife, she is
good wile-I love her very much. She
loves the horse-she loves him a great
deal she will cry very much at losing
him. | do not know how | shall COM
fort her-and that makes my heart very
sore"
What could the worthy captain do to
console the tender hearted old Squaw,
and, peradventure to save the venerable
patriarch from curtain lecture? He !
bethought himself of pair Of earbobs, it |
was true the patriarch's better half was
of an age and appearance that seemed to
put personal vanity out of the question:
but whenis personal vanity extinct? The
moment he produced the glittering ear
bobs, the whimpering and whining of the
sempiternal beldame was at an end. She
eagerly placed the precious baubles in her
ears, and, though as ugly as the witch
of Endor, went off with sideling gait,
and coquettisl air, as though she had
been perfect Semiramis.
The Captain had now saddled his new.
" acquired steed, and his foot was in the
stirrup when the affectionate patriarch
,gain stepped forward, and presented to
lim young pierced nose who had pc
,uliary sulky look
"This " said the venerable chief, s'is
ny son. he is very good. great horseman
he always took care OF this very fine
lofse--be brought him up from colt,
md made him what he is- He is very
ond of this fine horse-he loves him like
broiher-hs heart will be very heavy

TIDES. According to recent and ac-
curate observation, the tide-wave travels
from the Cape Of Good Hope 10 Gibraltar,
a distance of nearlysfve thousand miles in
the incredibly shor period oftwelve hours.
which is at the rate ofabove four hundred
miles an hour. The same wave requires
twelve hours toreach Edingburgh from
Gibralter, a distance of about nineteen
hundred miles, and proceeds with velo-
city of one hundred and sixty miles an
hour; whereas, that from Edingburgh to
London, only five hundred miles, requires
the same time of twelve hours, and goes
at the rate of forty two miles an hcur.
These retardations in the rate of veoci.
ty of the tide wave are occasioned by the
obstruction it receives from the coast it
comes in contact with. AT Liverpool, it
is found that fall of one-tenlh Of an inch
10 the barometer raises the tide one inch,
which is beautiful illustration of the law
of gravitation. .-.Athenaeum

A NEW STORY.
THE HISTORY OF A GENIUS.
BY CAPT. MARRY YATT.
T Concluded from our last.


Il have been a great fool!' thought
Shulleton Pope, as he sat outside Of the
coach on his way back but that does
not prove that am not a genius. This
was the wisest remark ever made by Mr..
Shufleton Pope.
Il am glad to see you back, nephew,
said his uncle, shaking him warmly by
the hand, ,-sand now hope you have
had enough of London, and mean to set
tie down and turn farmer, as proposed
you should before
Farmer, uncle! but I've no farm
I've spent it all in London replied Shut
feton Pope, looking very foolish.
mot quite so bad as that, nephew re-
piled the old man. 'Tho people came
down here to look at the farm, and |
found out what they were after, so ar
ranged to lend you the money out Of my
savings Here are your mortgages, and
now you are free man again.
sMy dear uncle said Shuffleton Pope,
Il am very much obliged to you, and |
certainly will turn farmer
'As your fathers have always been be-
fore you; and nephew, if you think of
taking wifeto help you, Louisa is still
at your service-thc girl has fondness
for you. By-thc.by, ought to tell you
before YOU see her, that she is not the
handsome girl that she was; she went
away on visit and took the smallpox,
which has Scared her like vengeance,
but she is just as good a girl as ever she
was. 1t is pity-but if you had marri-
ed her when first proposed, she wbuld
not have gone junketting, and would
not have caught the disease
Nevertheless, will marry her, and
thank you too,' replied Shuffleton Pope.
Il ought to say that | cannot give her
the money that | intended, my good fell
low, for all my savings have been urjcd up
in these mortgages; but you know you
cannot spend your money and have it
too
Il will marry Louisa, live with you,
sir, and work under you on the farm
- why then you will be happy man,
and that's better than being ger.irs.'
Shulfleton Pope was in earliest. He
saw Louisa, and although her face was
scanned, and one of her eyes had dropped
down in corner and had not Strength
enough to get up again, still he adhered
to his resolutions; and the poor gIrl who
had always vearned towards him W aenshe
was handsome, was so grati6ed, so timmed
from knowledge Of her disadvantages,
and so intense in her admiration oil him,
that he could not but feel pleased with her.
He put on high-lows and trudged over
the stiff clay of the farm with his upcle
during the day time, and at night he sat
with Louisa; and, as she never proposed
candles, poor thing, and he did not par
ticuarly wish for them to look at her face,
he passed his hours away listening 20 the
soft music Of her voice, responding to her
fond endearments, and thought that he
should be happy; and so he would have
been had he not also thought that he was

II Shlce Of the Romantic. The Balti-
more Monument" relates that lawyer
from the West married few days since
in this State lady with whom he had
fallen in love some twenty years ago, and
whom he had never since seen until the
time of the marriage. The gentleman
would have married her at the time he
was seized with the tender passion, but
the declaration which she one day play
fully made, that she would "never mar
ry poor man." Determined 10 remove
this objection to him. he pushed for the
West, and after twenty years of hard
toll, and when the lady had forgotten
him, he had massed sufficient wealth to
encou' age him to renew the proposal
The lady, luckily. had remained single,
his proposal was accepted; they were
married, and on Wednesday morning last
they left this city for his home in the
West.
