THE RED FEATHER.
An Indian Story.

BY lSiAC II LELLAN
| A century ago, the deep shadows of the
untrimmed wilderness oversprcad the
broad valleys and wild hills of western
New York. The sound of the sqatter's
axe had not then aroused the echoes of
those remote solitudes nor the smoke of
the frontiersman's cabin curled above the
tall branching oaks and the solemn hem
locks of the primeval forest. The plow-
share had not then turned the fertile globe,
nor the cattle broHsed upon the tender
herbage of that region, now so populous
and cultivated. The red stag there shook
his branching antlers, and bounded fear
lessly through the open glades OF the
woods, or led the dappled doe or fawn, at
the rosy dawn, or mellow eventide, 10
drink at the ice-cold water-course, or the
pellucid surface of the lake. The shaggy
bear prowled in the briery thicket. or fed
on the acorns that autumn shook down
from the oak and the tawny panther
ranged unlnolested in the rocky Businesses
of the hills, or lay in the leafy covert for
its prey. The Indian hunter was then
lord of the land. The Mohawk and the
Oneida held the region from the waters
of the Hudson to the shores where Erie
and Ontario rolled upon the beach and
the smoke of the wigwsm ascended by
many quiet stream and wood. The
| hunters rifle echoed among the hills,
and his arrow whistled in the glade
the war-dance and the attlesong re-
sounded in every valley and the sharp
canoe, urged by the flashing paddle. skim
med every stream and lake.
| Many years since, small band oi
marksmen of the Mohawk tribe, having
wandered far from their hunting ground.
were ambushed by war-party of OneI-
das, and their chief, Owaka, was slain in
the contest. Wauchee, or the Red Festh-
er, the only son of the old chief, and no"
the head of the nation of the Mohawks,
had been deeply distressed at his father S
! loss, and had sworn that he would take
the scalp of an Oneida, before the flowers
of another spring should bloom over his
fathers grave.
In the leafy month OF June, the young
chief wandered afar from the lovely valley
/ of his native river in pursuit OF smal
hunting party of the Oueidas who were
said to be prowling in the neigborhood
He had followed for many days the tral
of the fugitives, and had often come up
on their deserted camp-fres, but had no
! vet overtaken them. They were on thel
:. return TO their village, which was situated
on the shores of the Ontario, where th'
Niagara river, after its mighty plunge d
the Falls, empties into its frothy abyss
On pleasant evening of summer time
he paused 10 encamp for the night at
place where a transparent streamlet pour
ed its crystal tribute into the bosom OF tn
Geneses. A dense and lofty grove o
mines advanced their ranks to the Yer
edge of the stream, and afforded hm
faithful shelter from the dews and breeze

KEEP IN STEP.


6 Those who would walk together must k
l step."-OLD PRovERB.
Aye, the world keeps moving forward,
Like an army marching by;
Hear you not its heavy football,
That resoundeth to the skyl
Some bold spirits bear the banner
Souls of sweetness chant the song
Lips of energy and fervor
Make the timid-hearted strongi
Like brave soldiers we march forward
1fyou linger or turn back,
You must look to get jostling
While you stand upon our track.
Keep in step.
Ny good neighbor, Master ssandstill,
Gazes on it as he goes;
Not quite so sure but he is dreaming,
In his afternoons repose
Nothing good,'' he says, "can issue
From this endless moving on;
Ancient laws and institutions
Are decaying, or are gone;
We are rushing on to ruin,
With our mad new tangled ways"
While he speaks, thousand voices,
AS the heart of one man, says
Keep in step"
Gentle neighbor, will you join us,
Or return to =" GOOD OLD wAYs?'
Take again the fg-leaf apron
OF old Adams ancient days.
Or become hardy Indian
Beard the lion in his lair,
And lie down in dainty slunber
Wrapp'd in skins of shaggy bear,-
Rear the hut amid the forest,
Skim the wave in light canoe!
Ah, I see you do not like it.
Then If these % old ways" won't do,
Keep in step.
Be assured, good Master standstill,
All-wize Providence designed
Aspiration and progression,
For the yearning human mind.
Generations left their blessings,
In the relics of their skill
Generations yet arc longing
For greater glory still;
And the shades of our forefuthers
Are not Jealous of our deed
We but follow where they bcckon,
We but go where they do lead
Keep in step.
One detachment of our army
May encamp upon the hill,
While another in the valley
May enjoy its own sweet will:
This, may answer to one watehword,
That, may echo to another;
But in unity and concord,
They discern that each is brother
Breast to breast, they're marching onward
In q good and peaceful way;
You'll be josrled if you hindor,
So don't ofer let or stay
kespin step.

PrncticnI Qnestions.

Why is rain water soft because il
has not been impregnRted with earth and
other minerals.
Why is it more easy TO wash with soft
water than with hard ?-Becau.e soft wa
ter unites freely with soap. and dissolyes
it, instead of decomposing it as hard wa
ter does.
Why do wood ashes make hard water
soft list, because the carbonie acid of
wood ashes combines with the sulphate Of
lime in the hard water, and converts il
into chalk and, Cd, wood ashes. convert
some of the soluble salts of water into in
I soluble, and throw them down as sedi-
ment; by which the water remains more
pure.
Why has rain water such an unpleasant
smell, when il is collected in rain water
tub or tank Because it is impregns,ed
with decomposed organic matter. washed
from roofs, trees, or the eask in which il
is collected.
Why does water melt salt ?--BecRuse
very minute particles of water insinuRte
themselves into the pores of the salt. byI
capillary attraction, and force the chrySi
tails apart from each other.
How does blowing hot foods make them
cold ?-It causes the air which has been
heated by the food to change more rapid
ly, and give place to fresh cold air.
Why do ladies fan themselves in hot
weather ?-Thst fresh particles OF mir may
be brought in contact with their faces by
the action of the fan and as every fresh
particle of air absorbs some heat from the
skin, this constant change makes them
cool.
Does fan cool the air No; i. makes
tho air hotter, by impsrting 10 it the heat
of our face but it cools our face, By
transferring its heat 20 the air.
Why is there always a strong draught
under the door, and through the creYices
on each side ? Because the cold air rush
es from the hall to supply the void in the
room caused by the escape Of warm air
up the chimney, &c.

o The following case tried in the Quar-
ter Session Of Berks County, Pa, is thus re-
ported BY The Reading Gazette:
"A wife indicted her husband for assault
and battery, committed under the following
circumstances They were returning home
together in a wagon, from market-the hus-
band provided with pocket pistol well
loaded, from which he took sundry .swigs.'
until he became shot The wife remonstra-
ted earnestly against such conduct, which a.
reused the anger of her lord, and lie com
menced abusing her; whereupon she seized
the rum bottle, and threw it out into the road.
For this her brute of a husband beat her
Judge Jones charged the Jury that the wife's
act Of breaking the bottle did not Justify the
husband IN striking hers that although wife
had no right to destroy the goods and chatt!es
of a husband, rum bottle was an exception:
that wife was perfectly Justifable in seizing
her husbands rum bottle werever she could
lay hands on il and destroy IL, and that in this
instance the deteudent did no more than what
a sensible woman ought TO have done. The
jury rendered a verdict in accordance with
this sound opinion. Rum bottles, may, there
fore, from this date, be considered without the
pale OF the laws protection.
