be expected from them, in consideration Of
their success and their independent character.
The medium Of communication was the argon
in common use in Oregon and Washington
territories, and consequently explanation was
slow and imperfect. All the Indians con.
cerned in the war were present at the treaty,
except the Taylor Indians and Tupsu Tybee's
band. The former have only been warred
upon in the manner related-they have not re.
taliated. The latter are Shasta Indians, and
they were the ones who committed the first
depredations. AlE
General Lane having finally concluded this
treaty, set out in search of Tupsu Tybee. Con-
fiding in the honesty and truth Of these 1ndi-

Of Applegate creek, he found them, near the

HOW TO LIVE

Live for thyself! let each successive morn
Rouse thee to plans of self-indulgent ease;
And every hour some new caprice be born,
Til all be thrown aside that does net please;
So shalt thou learn how shallow is the fount
Whose glittering waves all wholesome thirst
destroy,
And heart-sick, even in youth, begin to count
Springs without hope, and summers blank ofjoy!
Live for thy fellow-men! let all thy soul
Be given to serve and aid to cheer and love;
Make sacrifice of self and still control
All meaner motives which the heart might
move.
The sting of disappointment shall be thine;
The need of base ingratitude be won:
Rare veins of gold illume the labored mine
And toll and sadness cloud thy setting sun!
Live for thy God! Thine anchor shall be cast
Where no false quicksands shift its hold away;
Through the clear future, from the sunrise, past,
CLOVIS the calm light along the even way.
The loss of human hopes shall vex no more
Than quick with ring of earth common flowers,
For well thou know'st when pain and death is
DER,
Eternal spring shall glad the heavenly bowers.

When Alexander of Macedon was seek
ing realms to conquer, he met with people
who lived in a very remote and obscure cor
ner, who had never heard of war or con-
querers, and who enjoyed their humble cot
tages in profound peace. They met the
Macedonian king, and conducted him to the
dwelling of their ruler, who received him
Hospitality, and set before him, as a feast,
dates, FIGS, and other fruits, made of gold.
"What do you eat gold here?" asked
Alexander
"No; but I imagined thou hadst food
enough to eat in thine own country?'

Alexander; "but desired to learn your Gus

Even so; then abide among us as long as

While the ruler and the Grecian were
conversing, two men Of the tribe came in, to
appeal to the rulers Judgment The COM
plainant spoke:

man, and when | was digging it | found

The ruler took time to understand the
case clearly, and then asked one of the par

He enquired of the other:
''IIast thou daughter?''
"Yea"

Alexander betrayed some emotion.
'Is not my Judgment just?' inquired the
ruler.
"Perfectly just" returned Alexander
''but it surprises me-

To own the truth" said Alexander,
'both the men would have been taken in
custody, and the treasure seized for the

''For the king" said the ruler, full of
astonishment; "does the sun shine in that

"Surely?"
"Does the rain fall?''
''Of course

THE ALEPPo BUTTON A SINGULAR

ulcer, which attacks every person born in
the city, and every stranger who spends
more than month there 1t can neither
be prevented nor cured, and always lasts a
year. The inhabitants almost invariably
have it on the face-either on the cheek,
forehead, or tip of the nose-wherc it often
leaves an indelble and disiguring scar
Strangers, on the contray, have it on one Of
the joints, either the elbow, wrist, knee or
ankle So strictly is its visitation confined
to the city proper, that in none Of the neigh
boring villages nor even in the distant su-
burbs it is known. Physicians have vainly
attempted to prevent it by inocculation. and
are at loss to what cause to abscribe it
We are liable to have it, even after five days
stay, but hope it will postpone its appear

BAROMETER AND SToRa PoINTER-A
correspondent in the Scientific American
gives the following:
Put two drachms of pure nitre and a
half drachm of chloride of amonia, reduced
to powder, into two ounces of pure alcohol,
and place this mixture in glass tube, of
about ten inches long and proportionate d.
ameter, the upper extremity of which must
be covered with piece of skin or bladder,
pierced with small holes. If the weather
is to be fine the solid matters remain at the
bottom of the tube, and the alcohol is as
transparent as usual If rain is to fall in a
short time, some of the solid particles rise
and fall in the alcohol which becomes some
what thick and troubled When a storm,
tempest or even a squall is about to come
on, all the solid matters rise from the bottom
of the tube, and form crust on the surface
of the alcohol, which appears in a state of
fermentation. These appearances take place
twenty-four hours before the tempest ensues:
and the point of the horizon from which it
is to blow. is indicated by the particles gath
erine most on the side of the tube opposite

The following sketch of country doctor,
from the February number of the "Knick-

When men are sick. they want to be cured,
cost what it may, but when they are on their
feet at their business again, they do not want
to pay. especially if the bill be little one.
The poor doctor is called from his bed on
a stormy night with the stirring summons
"Doctor-want you to come right straight
away off to Banks. His child's dead"
Then why do you Gomez"
"He's pizened. They gin him laud mum
for paregoriky.
'EIow much have they given him.
'Don't know A great deal. Think he
won't get over it."
The doctor pushes off through the storm,
meets with divers mishaps by the way, and
at length arrives at the house Of his poison
ed patient. He finds all closed-not a light
to be seeen.
Il knocked at the door, but no answer.
| knocked filriously and at last a night-cap
appeared from the chamber window, and a

better. We got a little kind o skcercd.
Gin him landnum and he slept kind o sound,
but he's woke up now
"How much laudanum did he swallow
"Only two drops. 'Taint hurt him none
Wonderful bad storm tonight"
The doctor turns away, buttoning up his
overcoat under his throat, to seek his home
again, and tries to whistle away his mortif-
