INDIAN NOTION OF A FUTURE STATE.

Our people all believe that the spirit lIves m a future state that it has great distance to travel after death towards the west that it has to cross a dreadful, deep and rapid stream, which ishemmed
 in on both sides by high and rugged hills; over the stream, from hill to hill there lies long slippery pine log, with the bark peeled off. over which the dead have to pass to the delightful hunting grounds. On the other side of the stream there six per- sons of the good hunting grounds, with rocks in l their hands, which they throw at them all when they on the middle of the log. The good walk on safely to the good hunting grounds, where there is one continual day, where the trees are always green, where the sky has no clouds, where there are continual 6ne and cooling breezes, where there is one continual scene of feasling, dancing and re-
 jocing. where there is no pain trouble, and peo
 pie never grow old, but forever live young and en-
 joy the youthful pleasures The wicked see the stones coming and try to dodge, by which they fall from the log and go down thousands of feet to the water. which is dashing over the rocks, anG is stinking with dead fish and animals, where they are carried round and brought back to the same place in whrlrools, where the trees are all dead and the waters are full oftoads, Hazards and snakes; where the dead are always hungry, and have noth- ing to eat, are always sick and never die; where the sun never shine and where the wicked are con- tinually climbing up by thousands on the side of the Eigh rock, from which they can overlook the beautiful country of the good hunting grounds, the place ofthe happy, but never can reach 1t.

THE VILLAGE CHURCHYARD.

THE VILLAGE CHURCHYARD. A beautiful and interesting lady of eighteen, was buried more than twenty years ago, in thevillage of M, in Connecticut From the awful de- velopments referred to in the last stanZa, no doubt remained of her having been buried alive It is we'll known to the writer, who was present at her funeral, that, in digging another grave many years afterward, in consequence of acciden- tally striking so near as to discover her body turned in peculiar position, the fears which had been entertained were entirely confirmed Twas an autumnal eve twilight's soft gleam Had faded-and the murmuring Zephyr sighed When by the glitter of the moons pale beam, saw shadowy form before me glide! It vanishes and the low-whispering breeze
 Waits the faint cadence of dying sigh: Surely among these glooms, oerarched with trees, Some disemboded spirit hovers nigh. Lo! other phantom forms are now arrayed,
 Like Deaths dread messengers, alorg the vale; Slow they dissolve, and disappear in shade,
 Where dngy curtains overhang the dale. o Fancy dar'st thou finger o'er the scene,
 Or tempt the gloom with an adventurous tread? 1? Or view those forms of superhuman mein,
 That wander OCT the City of the Dead? Full oft in boyhood, on yon moonlit glade,
 My foolish fancy heard some fearful yell; But ah ye SolltudeS of ghostly shade,
 Who shall your mystic village legend tell! Say do dream? no such unearthly sound
 Or sight disturbed these solemn shades before, Till SHE was laid beneath this lonely mound, In besuty's prime, in distressful hour. saw the rosy tinge on her fair cheek,
 As though the Autt'ring spirit hover'd near; The spell-bound voice was dumb-she could mol
 speak:
 Ilook'd and listen'd-life nor voice was there Nought couldevoke her from the slumbering spell And now her spirit sighs the fearful tale, As, wak'd by hollow chimes, the village bell
 Filings its wild echo on the midnight gale! Lo now I stand beside the sunken mound.
 With twenty summers grassy turf o'ergrown, Since, round this sepulchre of gloom profound, I heard the struggling sigh, the stifled groan. heard the tumbling clay. o drsary sound Earth fell to earth, and sprinkling dust to dust They laid her form beneath the cheerless ground, To wait the resurrection of the just. Long years have rolri since by that sainted dust, A mothers grave was open'd near her side: fl n,oulcter'd cofin, faithiess to its trust.
 RsueaPd, that in this naTro,o house she died

OLD TIMES.

Rev. Mr. Fox, of Newburyport, in an old paper written in 1928 to friend, gave familiar sketch of the manners and habits of the good people oi Boston, nearly a century ago. The following IS that part which describes the dress of couple as they were arranged for marriage:
 'To begin with the lady her long locks were strained upward over an immense cushion that sat like an incubus on her head, and then plastered o. yer with pomatum, and sprinkled over with shower of white powder. The height Of this tow. CT was somewhat over foot. One single white rosebud lay upon it's summit like an eagle on haystack Over her neck and bosom was folded lace handkerchief, fastened in front by bosom pin rather larger than dollar consisting of your grand fathers miniature set in virgin gold. Her airy form was braced up in a satin dress, the sleeves tight as the natural skin to the arm, with waist formed by bodice, worn outside, from whence the skirt flowed off, and was distended at the ancles by an ample hoop. Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes, and heels of two or three inches elevatlon enclosed her feet, and gittered with spangles, as her little pedal members peeped curiousy out Now for the swain. Your grandfather slept in an arm chair the night before his wedding, lest the arrangements of his perricranium, which had been under the hands of barber the whole afternoon, should be disturb. His hair was sleeked back and plentifully behowered, while his cue projected like the handle of skillet. His coat was of sky blue silk, lined with yellow; his long vest of white sat- ir embroidered with gold lace his brooches of the same material. and tied at the knee with pink rlb- bon. White silk stockings and pumps, with CLOCKS and ties of the same hue, completed the haoinen's of his neither limbs. Lace rufiies clustered aIoon" his wrist and portentous frill worked m correS- Dondence. and bearing the miniature "f ms oeloV' ed. finished his truly genteel appearance.
