Occupation for Children.

The habits Of children prove that occu :
patton is necessary with most of them
They love to be busy even about nothing,
still more to be usefully employed. With
some children it is 4 strongly developed
physical necessity, and If not turned
to good account will be productive of
positive evil, thus verifying the old adage
that sidleness is the mother of mischief.
Children should be encouraged, or if inde
pendently disclined into performing for
themselves every little office relative to
their toilet, while they are capable of per-
forming. They should also keep their
own clothes and other possessions Ia neat
order. and fetch for themselves whatever
they want; in short, they should learn to
be as independent of the services as posi-
bic, fitting them alike to make good use
of prosperity, and to meet with forttude
any reverse of fortune that may befal
them. know of no rank, however exalt
ed. in which such a system would no
prove beneficial.

a Female SWIMMING Match.

The dead-ahve remnant of fashion which
yet remains In Paris was aroused 10 as
much interest as could be compatible with
the state OF the thermometer by singular
wager which had been concocted by two
of our most fashionable Eon7aes This
was no other than swimming match be-
tween the renowned Madame C--and
the bold Marquise de b, who un-
dertook to accomplish the distance between
the Pont Neuf and the Pont Notre Dame
in given time, being allowed the use of
the left hand only, the other to be occupied
in holding green parasol, to screen the
visage of the fair swimmer from the rays
of the sun, which darted down upon the
waters like a furnace.
At the summons the fair Naiads plunged
most resolutely over either side of the boat
and were soon beheld gliding along as rap
idly as the stream. The ladies were both
attired in loose wide trou sers of fine CASH
mere, white striped with blue, the waist
bound with scarlet belt, shirt of the
finest cambria, with short sleeves. The
Marquise de B. is of dark moorish
complexion, and her jet black tresses were
confined by net Of scarlet silk, adorned
with braid and tassels while the golden
locks of he companion were secured upon
a roller, and shortened around her neck
la ganain de Paris. Neither of the fair
champions waxed faint or weary for sim
gle moment, but conducted themselves
most bravely-the winner being the dark
marquise, who won the victory but by an
arms length. After the match, the COM
pany interested therein, and which consis-
ted of all the nobilities of fashion and lit
erature yet spared, adjourned TO magnif-
icent entertainment given at the ladies'
swimming bath at the Hotel Lambert.
where dancing and lansqueraet were kept

Proud and Poor.

The family of Mrs. Brown, good
widow, and six daughters, had the misfor-
tune to be poor and proud. Above the
gross vulgarity of manual labor, though not
above its necessity, they lived in 'stuck
up idleness and dependent mainly on the
hard earnings of the mother for support.
Finally Maria, who was the youngest and
rather pretty, managed to win the heart
and hand of the village physician, and got
married. The alliance being considered
as decided "step up in the would by all
the family, the single sisters grew iazler
and prouder than ever, while the doctor

a strong band of Indians. They selected
a suitable spot, and built of logs and poles
a small hut to which they gave the name
of fort. Before it was finished the Indi-
ans made their appearance. They show
ed that they were determined to have their
scalps. Vale and his companions prepared
for desperate resistance. At the first fire
of the Indians, Young was shot through
the head. Vale and Cass retured the fire
and three Indians fell, at W which they raised
the war whoop. The unequal contest
lasted several hours, Cass loading the guns
while Vale with unerring aim, thinned
their ranks. Cass imprudently exposed
his face and received ball in lhe eye
Vale was now left alone to contend against
the Indians. He made the best of it, load
ed and fired in such rapid succession that
the Indians were on the point of retiring,
when he fell mortally wounded. The In
dians lament his death; they buried him
without scalping him, and honored him
with the name of Eagle Brave. Twenty
eight Indians were killed in the action
