and bands Of small bells tied round their knees.

They looked strangely enough, and felt SO no
doubt yet time was when their fathers trod this

sick when think of The wrongs heaped upon
The Indians BY the white man, and, gaZed
upon these warrior chleftalns, decked out with
gewgaws and delighted with them, we could. not
but feel how different would have been their lot
had we done our whole duty towards them
Their forms and figures and features bespeak
energy enough but the heart Is yet untouched
by christian feeling, or It's cvilizng Influence

Two men were watching at The bedside of dy-

were sure did not proceed from the sick man,
whereupon they turned round and bohcld tho
room lighted up with a strange, uneartbly glare,
and saw the apparItIon Of a mln-but they can't
say rhether he had hat or not-so they
swear. The sic, man, OF course was most terri
bly, frightened, and a, made a revelation Of
his being an accessory in the murder Of the man
whose ghost pad him visit IN his d ying hour.
Having done this, he died-so swear his watchers.

PROSPECTUS.

Under the above title the subscribers will pub
sh on the ist Of April, 1912. and on the Ist of
each succeeding month, Magazine of Facts, Al
guments Statistics, Speeches, Editorials, &c. &c,
Cevoted exclusively TO the advocacy and defence
of the policy of Protection to American Labor
against the selfish and graspng policy of Foreign
Nations, especially OF those with which we chiefly
made, which shut out OF their ports the great bulk
Of our Products, and especially those of our Free
Labor, while they glut our markets, bankrupt our
Merchants, depreclate our currency and lamiSh our
Laborers and Artisans by pouring in upon Us the
products of their skill and Industry, On the easy
terms proffered them by our low and non Prc;ec-
tive Duties. This Magazine will inhex5ly and
ardently advocate the true American Policy of
c0unerraiing these gross exactions Of Great Brit
ain and other Nations by asysiem ofdirect, avow-
ed Protection TO our Home Industry which shall be
thorough and efficient.

the policy Of encouraging and foster ng by wise
legislation the establishment and growth in our
country OF uew vet feeble branches of Industry,
such the Culture OF Silk, the Manufacture of
whatever fabrics OF Wool, Cotton, Iron. &c, may
be necessary for the supply Of our own wants and
to secure and perfect our independence 1t will
demonstrate that the true and permanent interests
of all, but especially Of the Agricultural and Work
ing Glasses universally, will be nfably and sign
ally promoted by adopting and carrying out the
Protective Policy, and that the Wages of Labor,
the average price ofits Produce, and the aggregate
Product Of the National Industry, will be surely
ard largely enhanced thereby. In short, ths work
is intended TO form complete textbook for the
friends OF Protection and thorough refutations at
every point, of the pernicous fallaces put forth
by the foreign and misguided American apologists
for the policy Of Cne-slded Free Trade.
The american Ld5orer will be published monthly
in large octave form, each number contain ing
30 nrge double-column pages Of closely printed
matter. Each number will coEtan one great
! Speech, Report, or o,her convincing document.

1t will be deemed vanity at my age to
say that at twenty-five | was possessed Of IA
full share Of il!c ordinary personal charms of
youth. within IA little Of the Chesterfield
dian standard Of height, five feet ten, with
locks black and glossy as the ravens wing,

the red tide of youth and health, and poses

good sense and education for all the pracli-
cal purposes Of fife, it may be thought that
my experience in matters Of the heart ought
TO have proved an exception to the rule tina,
'tlle course Of true love never did run
smooth" But, alas ! not so! 1t was my
fortune to become acquainted with a young
lady possessed Of so many charms, mental.
moral and personal, and SO s%upcr-eminent in
each, that it was indeed impossible for me
to avoid falling, as | did, desperately in love
with her.
As far as %glances Of the eye, .,rcmors of
the voice, and occasional inucndocs might

impariing to her a knowledge Of the state Of
my heart; and ! will not presume upon
your patience SO much as to detail the ex,a-
cy of JOY with which | first discovered,
through d similar media, a reciprocit, Of
feeling on the part OF the young lady. Let
it suffice 10 say that this WAS the case, and
thai the time came when it was incumbent
on me to make a distinct avowal of my love.
This, after long and pcrplexins mental de-
bate, | resolved to do by letter and after
writing some Prerequisites On as many sheets
Of gilded paper, | finally succeeded in form

essence of every thing that could or ought
