A Quaker who visited Cincinnati a few years
ago observed, on the bright morning of a business
day. that the doors and window-shutters of the
stores in one of the principal streets were closed
Curious to learn the cause of circumstance so
extraordinary, and noticing the front door of
shop standing aar, he entered, and was surprised
to see lamps burning and grocer dealing out ar
ticles to number of customers
''Friend,' asked the Quaker, "Can'st thou tell
me why the stores are all closed? Is there to be
public funeral, or what does it meahp'
Sir" said the grocer, show old are you?"
''Sixty," meekly replied the Quaker.

Indian Affairs.

The Hon. G. W. Hill, Indian Agent, passed
through this city eas route for San Antonio. He
left Fort Beknap about the 18th OF July He says
eight or ten ho ses were stolen from Stems rancho
on the Clear Fork of the Brazos few days be-
fore his departure. The trail of the robbers was
followed by 1t. Tree, guided by friendly Caddos
After proceeding one hundred miles up the Red
Fork OF the BraZos the trail became so intermin-
gled and confused by trails of Kickapoo hunters
that it was impossible to follow it further The
conclusion that Kickapoos committed the theft
was inevitable. Upon the return of Tree the
Kickapoos were sent for. The agent told them
to leave Texas at once for their own country
north of Red River, and that if they were caught
south of that stream they would be treated as en-
emies. This was plain and sensible talk.
The Northern or upper bands of Camanches
are unriendly. They foster a strong feeling of
hostility. The agent thinks war with them al
most unavoidable. He believes, to render con-
test secure and effective on our part any expedi-
ton into their country had best be DELAYED until
the small tribes of friendly Indians shall have
been settled by Neighbors and Marcy. Their
services can then be secured as guides, &C. The
Caddos, lonios, Anadarcos and their small con-
federate tribes could do the frontier a great deal
of damage. They occupy Businesses in the Palo
Pinto Mountains, from which it would be almost
impossible to expel them. An expedition against
the Indians at this time might impcate these
IrlOes. MdJoT NelSnDOrS ana capt. Marcy LETT
Fort Belknap on the same day Dr. Hill did
They have supplies for forty days expedition
The object of the expedition is to find locations
suitable for the friendly Indians; and to settle
them in accordance with the provisions of the
law passed last winter. As they go up, the val
leys of Big Wachita and Red Rivers will be ex-
amined. They will return by way OF tie Red
Fork of the Brazos
DIR. Hill is of opinion the number of troops at
Fort Belknap is inadequate. in case of war
with the Northern Camanches (which is almost
certain this part of the frontier will be in great
danger. Major Steen, the commandant at Fort
Belknap, is an active, efficient officer. He has,
at all times, co-operated cordially and effectively
with the Indian Agent. Without the proper
force, it is of course, out of his power to protect
the country adjacent to his post.
Dr. Hill says the two Klckapoos executed by
their tribe. were but half OF those implicated in
the murder of4stem and Seppleman. These two
were chased down by Lieut.. Tree, had no chance
of escape, and were in possession of articles with
the names of the murdered men marked upon
them. Making rather virtue of necessity their
Chief had them put to death. Two warriors and
boy that were present. aiding and abetting the
assassination running at large. The smaller
bands of Southern Camanches are disposed to re-
main friendly. They will be located by Neigh
bors and Marcy. Teas State Times, 18th

Is thy heart crushed with feeling all unspoken2
Trust thee; and know, There's balm In Gilead

Are there still ties that all unbidden bind thee
To earth whose pleasure brings thee but regret7
And blissful dreams whose wakings ever find thee
Unhappy still? There's balm in Gileae yet"

PARODY ON HoHENL1EDEN.

In seasons when our funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
And new supplies keep up the flow
OF dimes, departing rapidly,
But we shall see a sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn till night.
Commanding every siXpenee bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills are arrayed-
Each seal and signature displayed
The holders VOW they must be paid
With threats of law and Chancery.D
Then to despair we're almost driven
There's precious little use in livin',
When our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow
When interests added on below.
Length ming our chin foot or so,
While gazing at them hopelessly.
IT'S SO, that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun;
Before there comes some other one
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect darkens. "On ye brave,"
Who would our very bacon save!
Waive, Patrons! all your pretexts waive!
And pay the Printer cheerfully.
All! 'twould yield us pleasure sweet,
A few del,n quents now to meet,
Asking of US a clear receipt
For papers taken eg'larly.

The Philosophy of Rain.

To understand the philosophy of this beautiful
and often sublime phenomenon, so often witnessed
since the creation of the world. and so essential
to the very existence of plants and animals a few
facts derived from observation and long train of
experiments must be remembered
l. Were the atmosphere everywhere and at all
times of uniform temperature, should never
have rain, or hail, or snow The water absorbed
by it in evaporation from the sea and the earth's
surface would decend in an imperceptible vapor
or cease to be absorbed by the air when it was
once fully saturated.
?. The absorbing power of the atmosphere,
and consequently, its capacity to retain humidi-
ty is proportionably greater in warm than cold
air.
3, The air near the surface OF the earth is warm
er than it is in the region of the clouds The
higher ascend from the earth the colder do
we find the atmosphere. Hence the perpetual
snow on very high mountains in the hottest cli-
mates.
Now, when from continued evaporation the
air is slightly saturated with vapor, though it be
invisible and the sky coudless if its tempera ture
is suddenly reduced, by cold currents descending
from above or rushing from higher to a lower
latitude. or by the motion of warm saturated
air to a colder climate, its capacity to retain
moisture is diminished clouds are formed, ard
the result is ram. Air condenses as it cools and
like sponge filed with water and compressed
pours, out the water which its diminished capaci-
ty cannot hold. How singular, yet how simple
the philosophy of rain! What but Omniscience
could have devised such an admirable arrange
ment for watering the earth?
