Saturday evening.
They were righted, however. in an hour or
two, and then we got the news in hne style

rators, who worked hard and cheerully 10 get

From Ihe ST. LOUIS ReveiIle,
THE INDIAN GAMESTERS.
BY JOHN BRowN.)

In former times the NABAJo InGians on
the borders of New Mexico, and the PuE
BIO Indians in the country, were at war,
and the deadly hatred Ofthe races for each
other extended to individuals.
One autumn day Nabajo Indian had
gone out hunting, but had not been at
all successful, and towards night became
very weary. To add to his misery, as
evening drew near, furious storm was
seen approaching. His anticipations were
gloomy in the extreme for in order to
facilitate his hunting he had brought but
small piece of blanket over his shout
ders, and he knew that TO lie out such a
night, with his body more than half naked,
would be little short Of death itself.
The Indian had remained in this frame
of mind for some time, he observed a par.
ticular rock which hung out from the side
OF the mountain, and was by that sudden.
Iy reminded that there was a small cave
in the neighborhood, and this he was al
length fortunate enough 10 discover.
The aperture Of the cave was very
small, but he squeezed his body in, and
was soon at the extrame end of the cham.

with rock for pillow.
On the same evening a Pueblo Indian,
the mortal enemy of the Nabajo, was sim.
ilarly situated. Having had poor success
in his hunt, he too, was without blan.
ket; and weary, be, too, was 10th to spend
the night in the storm; and he had thought
Of the cave which he was diligently seek

and crawled in. He did not 60 as far

down near the middle Of the chamber
The Nabijo. in sound sluUber, was un'
conscious Of his entrance, and the fafieued
Pueblo was 50 soon asleep, that he did
not hear the breathing ofhis enemy.
In the morning the NabijO, having slept
longest, waa earliest awake, and rose

FIFTY YEARS AGO.
BR WIN. G. GALLAGHER.

A song of the early times out west,
And our green old forest home,
Whose pleasant memories freshly yet
Across the bosom come!
song for the free and gIadsom life
In those early days we led,
With teeming soil beneath our feet,
And smiling heaven o'erhead!
Oh, the waves Of life danced merriIy,
And had joyous flow,
In the DAYS when we were Pioneers.
Fifty years ego!
The hunt, the shot, the glorious chase,
The captured elk or deer;
The camp, the big bright fire, and then
The rich and wholesome cheer;
The sweet, sound sleep, at dead of night,
By our campfire blazing high
Unbroken by the VOLTS long howl,
And the panther springing by,
Oh, merrily passed the time despite
Our willy Indian foe,
In the days when we were pioneers,
Fifty years ago. ...
We shunn'd not labor when twas DUE
We wrought with right good will;
And for the homes we won for them,
Our children bless US still,
We lived not hermit lives, but off
In social converse met;
And fires of love were kindled then,
That burn on warmly yet.
Oh. pleasantly the stream of life
Pursued its constant flow,
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
We felt that we were fellow men,
We felt we were band,
Sustained here in the wilderness,
BY heavens uphOlding hand.
And when the solumn Sabbath came,
We gathered in the wood,
And lifted up our hearts in prayer
To God the only good.
Our temples then were earth and sky
None others did we know,
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
Our forest life was rough and rude.
And dangers closed US round;
But here amid the green old trees,
We freedom sought and found.
OFT through our dwellings wintry blasts
Would rush with shrek and moan:
We cared not though they were but frail,
We felt they were our own!
Oh, free and manly lives we led,
Mid verdure or md snow,
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
But now our course oflife is Short
And as from day to day
We'er walking OIL with haIting step,
And fainting by the way,
Another land more bright than this
10 our dim sight appears;
And on our way to it we'll soon
gain be Pioneers;
Yet, while we linger we may all
A backward glance still throw.
To the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
