WESTERN MOJJNDS

stThe size Of many Mounds in the west en-
trely forbid the superstition of their being the
work of man. Yet their shape and appearance IN

A SINGULAR ADVENTURE.

Once upon time, a traveller slept into q post
coach. He was young man just starting in life
lie found six passengers about him, all of them
grey headed and extremely aged men. The Young.
est appeared to have at least eighty winters
Our young traveller was struck with the singularIv
mild and happy aspect which distinguished his
fellow passengers, and determined to ascertain the
secret of long life, and the art Of making old age
comfortable. lie first addressed the one who was
apparently the Oldest, who told HIM he always led
regular and abstemious life, eating vegetables and
drinking water. The young was rather daun-
ted at this, iuasmueh as he loved the good things
OF this life. Tie addressed the second, who astcn-
ished HIM by saying, he always roast beef, and
had gone TO bed regularly fuddIed for seventy
years. adding that all depends upon regularity
The third had prolonged his days by never seeking
or accepting ofice--the fourth by absolutely abs.
tanning from political ligous contro ersies-
and the fifth by going to bed at sunse, and rising
at dawn The sixth was apparently much youn-
ger than the other hve-his hair less grey and
there was more ofit-a placid smile, denotipg g,
perfectly easy conscience, mantled his face, and
his voice was jocund and strong
They were all surprised to learn that he was
ten years the Oldest man in the coach How
exclaimed our young traveller, show is i: that you
have thus preserved the freshness of ife-where,
there is one wrinkle on your brow there are fifteen
on that of each of your juniors tell mel pray your
secret of life! cts no mystery, said the old man..
q have drank water, and drank wine-I have eat
meat, and have eat vegetables-f have held pub,
lie ofiice-I have dabbed in politics, and have
written religious pamphles-I have sometimes
gone to bed at sunset, and sometimes at midnight
got up at sunrise and at noon-but, ai,oays I'd
promptly for my neacspaper.'

CERTAIN CURE FOR FOUNDER IN HoRsEs-Take
large kettle of water and make it boil. Lead the
horse to the kettle, if he he able 10 walk, if not
take the water to the stable. Commence with
swab and wash the left felock, behind, then wash
the legs in thessame manner, and the shoulder and
body rub the horse dry,and he will be well in few
hours There is no danger of scaldng the horse, if
the above directions be pursued. This remedy is on
the authority ofone Of the best farriers in this place.

mounds are stupendous concal elevations, 200
eet in height, level on top, and contain from two
to five acres OF table land, while their sides are
SO steep as to be inaccessible except in one or two
places. These mounds range in a line, from one
10 two miles apart, over vast prairie for ten or
twelve miles.
From these facts we learn:
]. That when natural mound was not at hand
the Indians made artificial one on which they
erected the house of their chiefs.
2. That in instances on The bottom lands
OF the Mississippi river, they raised mounds pro.
fect the whole village from tho floods
B. That the Indians tribes formed cemeteries over
which they cree, ted mounds OF earth These facts,
we think are sufficient account for all the arti.

The Washington correspondent of the NY STAN
dard thus notices the appearance in the House OF
Represen laves OF the venerable John Quincy
Adams:
"ln casting my eye over The body, was attrac-
ted by what appeared to me 20 be new and strange
fgure-some old monk perhaps--but soon found
that it John Quincy Adams, with black cap
on his head, surmounted by tassel or top knot.
1t had so much altered his appearance, by conceal
ing his bald crown, his long forehead, and few
white locks, that few knew him at first sight,
However, he soon made the black cap familiar 20

"Two noighbors met, one of whom was exceed-
ngly rich, andshe other in moderate circumstances
The latter began to congratulate the former on his
great possessions, and the happiness which no

own condition. "My friend" said the rich man,
'let me ask you one question Would you be wills
ling TO take my property and take the whole care
oft foryonr board and cIothing3" "No, indeed"
"Well that is all GET"
