Brave Girl.

While on the Colorado, | was told by
"mine host Of an incident illustrative Of
the heroism Of Texan females, which oc.
Cured near this place not many years ago.
A party Of one hundred Indians had killed
two men working in field, and put a third
to flight. In these circumstances, a young
woman, scarcely sixteen years of age, un.
dertook to protect her family. Putting on
the Captains uniform, with cooked hat,
she courageously walked on, of her house
and beckoned to the Indians to come on, at
the same time making signs to those within
the house (only some women and children.
and one old mani to suppress their ardor
and keep still The Indians supposing
that the brave Captains company were
within, eager to charge, thought i, best to
withdraw from 50 dangerous a post, aud
they accordingly fed Certsinly the Tex.

Captains commission and pay for it,

Dying Testimony Of James Nayier, 1890.
There is spirit, which I feel, that de.
lights to do no evil. nor to revenge any
wrong but delights to endure ell things, in
the hope to enjoy its own in the end. Its
hope is to outlive all wrath and contention,
and to weary out all exaltation and cruelty,
OF whatever is Of q nature contrary to itself.
Il sees to the end Of all temptations. As
it bears no evil in itself, so il conceives
none in thoughts TO any other. II it be
betrayed, it bears it; for its ground and
spring is the mercies and forgiveness of
God. It's crown is meekness; It's life is
everlasting love unfsigned; it takes its
kingdom with entreaty, and not with con.
tention, and keeps it BY lowliness of mind.
In Ged alone it can rejoice, though none
else regard it, or can own its life. Il is
onceved in sorrow, and brought forth
without any to pity il; nor doth it murmur
at grief and oppression. 1t never reioiceth
but through sufsrings-for with the worlds
Joy it IS murdered. found it alone, being

them who lived in dens and desolate places
in the earth; who through death obtained

Freedom Of tine Mind


Free is the esgle's wing,
Cleaving the sun's warm ray
Free Is the mountain spring,
As IL rushes forth to-day:
But freer far the mind
Priceless its liberty;
No hand must dare to bind
God made IL TO be free!
You may chain thu eagles wing,
No more on the clouds TO soar
You may seal the mountain spring,
That II leap TO light no more:
But the mind let none dare chain
Better IL cease 10 be!
Born not TO serve, but reign
God made Il to be free.
Free Is the mountain breeze,
Floating from airy height
Free are the rushing meas,
And free heavens golden light:
But freer than light or air,
Der the overriding sea,
10 the mind beyond compare
God made IL 10 be free!
Then guard the gem divine,
Than gems or gold more rare;
Keep watch DER the sacred Shrine,
No foe must enter there:
Oh, let not error bInds
Nor passions reign Ger thee;
Keep the freedom Of the mind
God made il TO be free!

A Hene'eienr methed Of Serving Ones Self

A Eenereient Method OF Serving Ones Self
An Italian gentleman, with great sagaci-
ty, devised a productive pump, and kept it
in action at little expense. The garden
wall of his villa adjoined the great high
road Leading from one OF the capitals OF
northern Italy, from which it was distant
but few miles. Possessing within his gar
den fine spring Of water, he erected on
the outside Of the wall pump for public
use, and claiming to it small iron ladle
he placed near it some rude seats for the
weary traveller, and by a slight roof OF
climbing plants protected the whole from
the midday sun. In this delightful shade
the tired and thirsty travellers on that we'll.
beaten road ever and anon reposed and re-.
fIeshed themselves, and did not fail TO put
in requisition the services which the pump
so OPPORTUNITY presented to them. From
morning till night many dusty and way
worn pilgrim piled its handle, and went on
his way, blessing the liberal proprietor for
his kind consideration Of the passing stran-
ger. But the owner Of the villa was deep.
ly acquainted with human nature. He
knew that in that sultry climate the liquid
would be more valued from its scarcity,
and from the difficulty Of acquiring it. He
therefore, in order to enhance the value of
the gift, wisely arranged the pump, so that
its spout was Of rather contracted dimen.
sions. and the handle required moderate
application Of force to work il. .
