Washington.

Among the modern chiefs engrafted up
on the ancient faith Of the Iroquois, there is
one which is worthy of particular notice.
1t relates to Washington. According to
their present belief no white man ever
reached the Indian Heaven. Not having
been created by the Great Spirit, no pro-
vision was made for Kim in their scheme of
theology He was excluded both from
Heaven and from the place of punishment.
But an exception was made in favor of
Washington because of his justice and be-
nevolence to the Indian, he stood pre-emi-
nent above all ether white men. When, by
the peace of 1888, the Indians were aban-
doned by their English allies, and left to
make their own terms with the American
Government, the lroquois were more ex-
posed to severe measures than the other
tribes in their alliance. At this critical
moment Washington interfered i'll their be-
half as the protector of Indian rights, and
the advocate of policy towards them OF
the most enlightened justice and humanity.
After his death be was mourned by the lr.
oquois as a bencfactor of their race, and his
memory was cherished with reverence and
affection A belief was spread abroad
among them that the Great Spirit had re-
ceived him into celestial residence upon
the plains of Heaven, the only white man
whose noble deeds had entitled him to this
heavenly favor. Just by the entrance Of
Heaven is walled enclosure, the ample
grounds within which are laid out with ave-
nues and shaded walks. Within is spa
cious mansion, constructed in the fashion of
a fort. Every object in nature which could
please cultivated taste had been gathered
in his blooming Eden to render it delight
full dwelling place for the immortal Wash
ington. The faithful Indian, as he enters
Heaven, passes this enclosure, sees and
recognizes the illustrious inmate as he walks
to and fro in quiet meditation. But no
word ever passes his lips. Dressed in his
uniform, and in a state of perfect felicity,
he is destined to remain through eternity in
the solitary enjoyment of the celestial resi-
dence prepared for him by the Great Spirit

Hamlet.

The European correspondent of the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican, writing from Eli
sineur, Denmark, says:
"Here is shown Hamlet's grave, evident
ly of rather modern date Of this Ger
man writer says: "A more striking hon.
age has probably never been paid to the
genius OF poet than when particular burial
places are assigned even to the creations of
his imagination; while an English writer.
who regards the matter from more histori-
cal point of view, says: amy heap of
stones with, Runic inscriptions on them,
and said to denote Hamlet's grave, will be
in vain searched for here. even if they ever
existed. In fact, Hamlet's Identification
with this enchanting spot. is at best but
Shakspearian fiction. Hamlet's country
was not Zealand, but Jutland Here the
name was pronounced Amlet, signifying
madman. According to the Danish history
of old Saxo-Grammaticus, (he wrote about
the commencement of the 18th century,
Hamlet was not the son of Danish king,
but of the famous pirate chief, who was gov
ernOr of Jutland in conjunction with his
brother. Hamlet's father married the
daughter of the Danish king, and the issue
of that marriage was Hamlet.
Hamlet's father was subsequently MUIR
dered by his brother, who married the wild
ow and succeeded to the government of the
whole of Jutland. AS Pagan, it was
Hamlet's first duty to avenge his father
The better to conceal his purpose be feign-
ed madness His uncle suspecting it to be
feigned, sent him to England, with request
to the king that he would put Hamlet to
death. He was accompanied by two crea-
lures of his uncle whose letter to the Eng
lish king was carved upon wood, according
to the custom of that period. This, Ham,
let during the voyage, contrived to get pos
session of, and so altered the characters as
to make it request that his two companions
should be slain, which was accordingly done
on their arrival in England. He afterwards
married the daughter of the English king,
but subsequently returned to Jutland, and,
still feigning madness, cOntrived to surprise
and slay his uncle, after upbraiding him
with his various crimes. Hamlet then be-
came Governor of Jutland, was married a
second time to Queen of Scotland, and was
eventually killed in battle.
The whole history Of Hamlet is carefully
and minutely detailed; but these are the
leading historical features upon which Shak-
speare founded his beautiful tragedy; and
rude and disgusting as many Of the incidents
in Hamlet's life were, the mode in which
Shakespeare has treated them is one of the
creates proofs of his splendid genius. Ac-
cording to Saxo, Hamlet lived about four
centuries before Christ"

TO PREVENT PIrTING BY THE SMALL
Pox-Mr. Scion Robinson, III communi-
cation in the Plough. Loom and Anvil -
recommends the following to prevent pitting
by the small pox: Get from the apothe-
cary little vial of stuff called liquid cuti
icle,' and as the pustules are fully formed,
apply little of the liquid with a little brush
or feather to each one. AS fast as they get
ripe remove the scab and wipe away the
matter clean, and apply the liquid again.
If any of them gil second time, you must
remove the covering and repeat the process.
1t will smart like fun for a moment, but
my word for it, when you recover you shall
not find mark upon that pretty face of
yours to prove you ever had the disease. l
am told the article is made of gun-cotton,
dissolved in chloroform. 1t forms an arti6-
cial skin over the wound just as good as
the real one.'

Going. but not where swords
Are flashing in the sun.
And the clarion's cang. and the drums tattoo
Proclaim the fight begun,
Not where the hearts best blood
Is poured like crimson wine,
And patriot lives are offered up
At Freedoms holy shrine!
But from the tented field
And the fierce campaign of life,
Where discOrd's trump, and Sins tattoo
Are calling hosts to strife;
Up to the King whose might
The victory hath won,
go to lay my laureis down
Sit near me. oh my son!
Near me, for would tell
My deathless love and high,
For our fair land, whose mountains pierce
The secrets of the sky;
Whose rushing rivers dash
1mpetuous to the sea,
Whose hearts are mighty fortresses
Of cherished Liberty!
Nearer, my son! 1 dream
AS on thy face gaze,
OF her who bore thee, whose deep love
Hath cheered my stormy days.
Oh! that her aged face
Might greet me ere tread
The silent pathway leading through
The valley of the dead!
1t may not be, but free
AS own proud streams 60
To the tranquil seas of heaven, where
There is no ebb and flow!
Draw near-the world recedes-
Beneath the crumbling arch
OF deaths dark gateway swift pass
Upon my upward march!
Then through the golden gates
That open to the skies,
The white-pumed angels borne him on

And singing p9n swelled
Through the arcades vast and high,
AS they crowned him with the deathless bays
