Exciting Incident among the Rocky
Mountains.

On one occasion, while ]. w. Jones, with few
of his artist companions, stopping in the rear
of their main company, for the purpose Of daguer-
reotyping for his Pantescope some remarkably
strange rocks, war party of Indians suddenly
sprang from behind the rock, and, giving fright
ful yell, advanced with lances poised, ready for
battle, when the artist, with great coolness turn
ed upon them his " camera" and, somewhat mys-
tically waving over the instrument the black
cloths in which his pictures were enwraped, held
his lighted cigar in somewhat frightful proximity
to the instrument. The savages had heard strange
stories of" thunder on wheels" which had in one
terrific burst swept away whole parties of red
skins. Panic-stricken, they paused moment,
then veered to the right, with eyes fixed upon the
dreaded instrument ~
| But the strange mortar followed them; its dam
gerous point ever keeping them in direct line
Pop pop! pop! went revolver from beneath
the instrument! This was but the prelude of the
death-waging storm about to burst upon them.
| Strange, terrific sounds were reverberated thro'
the mountain gorges and echoed back by the cav
ernous rocks-yells and shrieks and rumbling
thunders. The smoke cleared away, and the art
lists were alone No time was lost in rejoining
the caravan; and the danger being over, 1t became
often the subject of merriment around the camp

GA new temperance reform party is starting
in New York. 1t is proposed to allow the free
that every drnker should procure license be-
fore he can legally purchase. The Baltimore
Sun thinks that this plan will do provided that the
license be costly enough 1t is suggested, how
ever, that women should give the license to drink,
and that it should be necessary for man to show
a "permit'' from his wife and minor children be-
fore he can take his glass We think this last
suggestion would prove more effectual, generally,
in suppressng the evils of intemperance, than
any other means that could be adopted, and the
ladies will doubtless coincide with us in this opin-
ion

THE BACHELoR's BRIDAL.

Not laugh washeard, nor joyous note,
sS For our friend to the bridal we hurried.
Nesa wit discharged his farewell shot,
g al te bAeheior Just 20 be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
ourheada from the sad sight turning,
.aAn6Ms aished:as stood BY the lamps dim light.
To hins that ns ivas no more discsEning,
To think that bachelor free and BRIGHT
And ahy Of the girls we found him,
Lshouid here BIZ the altar, at dead of night,
Be caught by the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though we heartily ate of the cake,
1hsn escorting him homo from that scene Of dread,
And thought, how awfulls he'll shake
Wethonght, as we followed his owly bed
OF the birch, the beach, and the willow,
How the shovel and broosck would break bis bead
s And The tears he would shed on his pillow. ss
Says he "They ltalk of their friend who has gone,
And every Old Bach will upbraid me,
But nothing III reck, fthey let me sleepon,
Meath the coyerlet just as they have laid me.''
But half Of our heavy task was done,
sErefhe clock toled the hour for the other;
And Jeff, with the hope that the fate he had won
WouldneT or be won by another.
Slowly and sadly we march down,
From the top or the uppermost story,
And we never have heard from, the poor man,
Whom We left, not alone, In his glory.

Reautifui Extract.

The following beautiful language is from the
lecture of Thomas F. Meagher, the Irish Patriot.
on Grattan and the Irish volunteers of l782:"
"The Parliament of Ireland is no more. The
last of the Volunteers has been borne to his grave.
so, too, their successors and their betters-the
men of '9S-the men who had keener sagacity,
sharper swords, and better style of action, though
less easy fortune than the soldiers of DUNCAN
non. The streets of Dublin are silent now. The
hoofs that paved the pavement on that day vex
the dull stones no more. The beauty that shone
as the hues of the morning through the vision of
freedom, has vanished as the night that came up
on the land-the throbbing heart has grown still
beneath the shroud-the white arms that bore
those chains of crusted gold have withered like
the leaves of the lily, have been strewn upon the
earth, have become the sport of the wind and the
spoil of the worm.
"In silent hall, into the desolate seclusion OF
which no busy or inquisitive foot intrudes, and
where the dust falling from the cornices might
steal langud sound from the marble slab be-
meath, $50 deep the repose that dwells there by
night and day-in this silent hall stands the stat
ne of Henry Grattan--erected, as the inscription
in foreign tongue with plaintive modesty re-
Iates, by a country not ungrateful."
"Thus has passed away all that was perishable
of that day. Yes! all that was perishable-all
that had not been stepped in the living waters,
and with their virtue made vital and inyulnerable
Not so the lessons which made that day, more
than the pageantry that illumined it, the bright
est in our annals"

'sWhat would my wife say if she knew that
was one of those who condemned her young friend
from appearances 90 was his not very agreeable
reflection, as the young man advanced, and de-
lyered the note of introduction.
Overcoming momentary feeling of irritation
caused by this discovery, MIR. Campbell addressed
the applicant with kind frankness.
"Iwas to blame in repulsing you SO unceremo-
niously this morning, my young friend" he said.
"My thoughts were much occupied, and I gave
you but momentary glance. From what my
wife has told me, am inclined to think that you
will supply the vacancy in my office perfectly
we'll. But little conversation will enable me to
Judge betterof your qualifications"
Encouraged by this kindness, the sensitive
young cerk forgot his difidence and by his intel
lgent answers, soon convinced the merchant that
he had not been overrated. A satisfactory arrang-
ment was made, and youn, Boardman returned to
his mother with the joyful tidings that his duties
would commence on the following day.
ssIhave little confession to make to you,'' said
Mr.. Campbell to his wife as they seated them
selves in their little quiet parlor to enjoy their
ming chat.
ga confession What can it be =" was the
surprised reply.
81 am convinced, that like the rest of the world
l. am in the habit of judging from appearances,
and indeed have become of your opinion, that it
is impossible to help it.. The great error which
we must avoid, is that of hastily condemning.''
'tYes, that is exactly what I have always be-
leved," replied the wife; "but what can have
wrought SO sudden change in your sentiments!"
"Experence, that stern teacher, Mary. Listen,
and will relate the two little incidents which
have opened my eyes to my own frailty, and given
me truer insight into human nature
Mrs. Campbell listened with much interest and
cordially responded to her husbands closing re-
marks, that in future, although they might Judge
they would never condemn from mere appearan-
ces.

A Startling Discovery.

During the late trial of Archibald Seaman and
Walter Barnes, on charge of Burglary, in the
Lorain County Common Pleas, the existence Of
Secret Society was disclosed, the designs and ten
dency ofwhich one or two extracts from its pre-
amble and Constitution will sufficiently explain
In the first "pledge," the member binds himself
to secrecy under a pledge of his goods and
chattels, lands and tenements, and his LIFE and
BODY" The Preamble recites that Z" Whereas
all Governments are instituted and controlled for
the sole purpose to aid the learned against the un.
learned, the strong against the weak" &C., &c.
"Pledge the Second' contains the following
clause: " will disregard all State or National
Lap that has tendency or will even permit the
designing knave to rob the honest and unsuspect-
ing, and as my influence shall be against the
wealth of the arstocrat, it shall be in favor Of
the laboring poor" A pamphlet copy of the Con-
stituton of this dabolical confederation was tax
