INDIAN DENTIsTRY.-SOme tribes Of our Apseri-
can Indians cure an inveterate tOothache by placing
the head of patient upon fiat stone a rusty nail
is then applied to the offending tooth, and blow
from another stone drives it from its position. Some
years since the surgeon Of one of our Western mill
tary posts, where the writer of this article was a
visiter having extracted the tooth Of an Indian by
more scientific process, the operator was at once
recognized as a ChemOcOmOn chief, and the instru-
ment which he used was forthwith proclaimed by
the Indians to be little Medicine Tor enchanter.)
Nor did the affair end here. A few days afterwards
the doctor was invited to a cOnvocation Of his red
brethren on the plain near the fort The occasion
seemed formal and the locality was remarkable +;
for there is no more beautiful scene in the world
than that which the children Of the wilderness had
chosen for this mornings ceremony-there where
the castellated bluffs of the Wisconsin seem, in per-
spective, to joint on those of the Mississippi, and
wall in the broad meadow, the green islets and
bright waters which tremble along the grassy mar
gin of the nearer side. There sat the grim warriors
drawn up in circle-a ring of red paint and feath-
ers upon the bosom of the green prairie. What
could those mute people Of the wilds, sitting there
so mute and statuelike in the sunshine what could
they want of the worthy surgeon who was butnOw
formally introduced among them! Why, each
Indian seated there has gravely insisted upon enjoy
ing the piOus luxury Of offering up tooth to the
little medicine which the white Okimaw carried in
his pocket! IN Y. Literary World.

SOCIETY OF THE FRIENDS OF PEACE.-The pre-
paratory meeting of the Congress of the Friends of
Peace was held on the 10Th ult., at Brussels. The
meeting was to prepare for the public meeting IN
that city on the Doth. About fifty persons were
present, among whom were M. Vissehers, who pre-
sided, Messrs. Elihu Burritt, of the United States
John Scoble, of London, Van Horebeek, Represent
tative in the Belgian Parliament, etc. M. Visschers
addressed the assembly, and read letter which
Messrs Burritt, Scoble, and George Bradshaw had
sent to the Minister of the Interior, to inform him
with regard the three points which the attention
of the Assembly would be especially directed.
These were, severally, the Importance of introdu-
cling into treaties clause providing for settling
national disputes by arbitration; the advantage OF
Congress of Nations and the possibility of par
tally or generally disarming nations, by mutual
consent. A business committee was appointed to
prepare for the Doth NJ. Francis Bouvet, Of the
French Assembly, asked leave of absence on tie
18th, because he had been appointed Vice-Pre'dent
of the Society, 4" an honor which he could not re-
fuse" Leave was granted

THE AsHANTEEs.-The laws of the Ashantees
are very severe. To be convicted of cowardice, is
punished with death. In almost all cases of trea-
son. the life of the accuser is at risk, well as that
of the accused and is forfeited on the acquittal of
the latter Those accused of witchcraft, of being
possessed with devil, are tortured to death. A
person accidentally killing another, pays five ounces
of gold to the family, and defrays the burial ex-
penses In the case of murderiti twenty ounces OF
gold and a slave, or he and his family become the
slaves Of the family of the deceased.
No man is punished for killing his own slave, but
he is for the murder of his wife child If he
kills the slave of another, he must pay his value. If
great man kills his equal in rank, he is generally
allowed to die by his own hands the death of an
inferior is generally compensated by fine to the
family equal to seven slaves.
A captain is allowed to put his wife to death for
nidelity but instead of this it is expected that he
will accept liberal offer ofgold from the family for
her redemption.
Trifing thefts are generally punished by the ex-
posture of the party in various parts of the town,
whilst the act is published but the more serious
thefs cannot be visited the guilty by any but his
family, who are bound to compensate the accuser,
and punish their relative not as they think fit !;
they may put him or her to death, if the injury
is serious, or the crime repeated or habitual.
If any subject picks up gold dropped in the mar
ketpace, it is death, being collected only by order
of the government on emergencies.

THE POWER OF 10Y

THE POWER OF JOY.....BY CoLERIDGE.
Oh, pure of heart thou need'st not ask ofme
What this strong music in the soul may be
What and wherein it doth exist,
This light this glory, this fair luminous mist,
This beautiful and beauty making power.
Joy, virtuous lady Joy that ne er was given
Save to the pure, and in their puTest hour
Life and lifes efluence, clouds at once and shower
Joy, lady, is the spirit and the power
Which welded nature to US gives in dover,
A new earth and new heaven
Undreamt of by the sensual and the proud.
Joy is the sweet voice, Joy the luminous cloud
We in ourselves rejoice
And thence flows all that charms our ear or sight ;
All melodies the echoes of that voice,
All colOH a suffusiOn from that light.

The Horseshoe Nail.
IRON THE GERMAN OF MN. GRIMM


A farmer once went to market, and, meeting with
good luck he sold all his corn and lined his purse
with silver and gold. Then he thought it time to
return, in order to reach home before nightfall so
he packed his money bags upon his horses back
and set on; on his journey. At noon he stopped in
a village to rest and when he was starting again
the hoser, as he led out the horse, said, Please
you sir, the left shoe behind has lost a nail g Let
it co. answered the farmer; the shoe will hold
fast enough for the twenty miles that have still to
travel I'm in haste' So saying, he journeyed on.
In the afternoon, the farmer stopped again to
bait his horse and he sitting in the inn the
stabe-boy came and said, 80 Sir, your horse has
lost a nail in his left shoe behind shall take him
to the smithy!' " Let him alone" answered the
farmer; % Eve only six miles further to go, and the
the horse will travel well enough that distance
I've no time to lose"
Away rode the farmer but he had not gone far
before the horse began to limp; it had not limped
far, ere it began to stumble; and it had not STUN
bled long, before it fell down and broke leg Then
the farmer was obliged TO leave the horse lying in
the road, to unsrap his bags, throw them over his
shoulder and make his way home on foot as well as
he could where he did not arrive till late at night.
." All my ill-luck," said the farmer to himself,
comes from neglect of horseshoe nail! )"

THE DREAM. ...BY N. L. FARRIs.
In dreams last night my fancy wandered home;
saw the blue mists O. er the hills arise
saw the village church and the bright dome
Glsening in sunlight Of my native skies.
Alas ] knew too well, with glad surprise,
By the brook side, the eaty pOpars tall
The orchard, meadow, dove-cOe, barn, and all
That kissed the infant lids Of my young eyes
o how my heart pines for her JOY to tell
As real what in sleep she pictured so well.
Then came a troop Of glad ones-young and gay
Shouting and tTisking eT the messy green
Another geneTatOn-these were they
Who would have laughed though had never been
And they were full of life and JOY ween,
As though the earth had nothing else but bloom
NoCares-nO sickness-nO Insatlate tomb!
All, let them play be earth the messy screen
To hide from their young eyes the bitter cares
The blasted hOpes-the deah-the he'll Of after years
An aged mother too, with sightless eyes,
Did yearn to clasp her long lost, waywaTd son,
Til my full heart ran with surprise
To mark the little harm which Time had done;
Sisters and brothers crowded one by one,
Filling each pause with dellTOus JOY
And beaming faces Time cannot destroy,
Quenchless as stars, and Tadient as the
Til the dead weight of fifteen years did roll
Back from my heart and gave up all my boylsh SOUL
And they all clustered round and listened there
Intent at what told of other Clime
OF antries vast and deserts idle" where
The death-beU daily dOes out funeral chimes
Where murder holds low rank with darker crimes;
OF lakes, lagOOns, large rivers, forests boar;
Old halls and churches filled with antique lore,
Of names all Incompatible with rhymes =

o. The New York Journal of Commerce has an
article on Eloquence, and the different standards of
it which individuals have adopted. 1t describes
these as follows
Thus we have Mr. Webster, whose calm and de-
lberate style of OratOry most fOrcby iliustra-
ted in a remark we heard made some days since
g Mr.. Webster has but to state point to argue It, "
And as a complete contrast, yet with scarcely less
power over the minds Ofan audience, we may men
ton Mr.. Corwin, whose vehement style is univer-
sally known. The same distinctions prevail at the
bar and it is worth ones time to pass from court
to court in the City Hall, and note the different
methods which counsel adopt to influence the minds
of iurymen. The defence sums up in speech OF
passionate eloquence, in which all the beauties Of
rhetoric are aided by the graces ofelegant delivery,
and the twelve judges pro tenn are impressed with
the earnestness, and at length carried away by the
force Of the orator.
The plaintiff, Tor the prosecution, as the case
may be,) knows very well that the jury have had
enough of that kind of eloquence, and coolly and
cautiously makes what appears to be matter OF
fact speech, continually aiming to convey the idea
that the case is so clear as to require none OF the
aids of rhetoric or oratory while at the same time
he brings both to bear in perfection: The jury,
after having been led offby the forcibly eloquen
appeal of the one are apt be at least led back to
medium ground by the equally powerful calmness
of the other.
