ings. One cannot look at these Indian tribes with
ont feeling deep interest. Going onward to
Boston we pass the scene of the Iabors of Brainer
and are then carried toward Philadelphia, where
Elliot and others labored. These tribes are now
melted away from the homes of their fathers, like
the snow in thaw; but beyond the Mississippi
there are $4,000 Of them that have been neceSsari-
y removed thither. Hitherto it had been the poll
cy OF the United States to pension off these tribes
and they were passing away before the advances of
the white man. But now it is delightful 10 know
there are several societies and churches engaged in
the Discrimination of these tribes and the gov
ernment now regards it as national policy 10
help them IN doing So (Applause.) They are
doing it with noble end-an end worthy Of the
United States. There is bill pending before
Congress and strongly recommended by the Indian
Committee, providing that each family should get
$40 acres of land beyond the Mississippi, the re
mainder to be sold, and the proceeds to be given
over to the Indian tribes or funded for them ZAP

Hints to Little Folks.

When your parents tell you TO do thing, do
not whimper, and say you don't want to" or you
'' will in minute" but do it Immediately and
eheerfully for when your dear parents are laid in
the grave, the recolections Of your disobedience
will reproaeh you.
When your parents dress you nicely on Sabbath,
and bid you 60 to Sabbath-schooI, do not run
away and play, for some day a mothers voice will
chide you from the cold gloom of the tomb.
Don't fret and murmur when you are sent to
school, but look around at the many little boys and
girls who are forced to beg. or work for living
and believe that you possess peculiar advantages
and that they must be improved.
When your parents reprove you do not reply in
anger but know that it is for your good, and that
some day the gentle hand that now seeks to guide
your little steps Alright, viii be stiff meath the val
leys sod
If you are told to keep out of the streets, or to
relinquish the company of an associate, do not
think it hard but believe that in an evil hour you
may forsake the path of rectitude and be hurled
away in the stream of destruction
Avoid bad habits Do not think it manly 10
drink, smoke or chew-that is a mistaken idea
they only indicate bad family governments, or a
tickle, unstable disposition.
Be kind to one another. There is nothing that
reproaches one so bitterly as an unkind word in a
moment Of passion When your little sister lies
cold in death the little causes of displeasure which
you have given her will cluster around your heart
and wiring many bitter tear. In your Journey
through life, there viii be nothing so grateful to
your thoughts, as the pleasing conviction Of your
obedience to your parents while they lived. o!
obey them then, little friends while they are with
you think that you can never doenough for them
have been an orphan for nearly twelve years, and
/ have often thought that ifmy parents could once
more be restored to me, they would never again be
panied with my little faults. o, triAe not with
mothers heart; there is a stream Of affection
within q mothers breast that however i'll you use
her, however often you may cause her bitter tears
to flow, will ever continue to nOurish and protect
the wayward fancy, and recall every wish to step
aside from mothers influence.

Memory held up beauteous pictures to her; the han
py Sundays of child and girlhood, and of early
married life, were lived over again, and indeed i
was truly golden age. a
Then in the vile contrast came up the Sundays
of the two or three last years, and then spake con
science in terrible voice, and uttered the eause
and tears hot and many rolled down her cheeks
The only day of the week which her husband could
spend with his family was despoiIed of comfort by
neiseii she was bringing her children up to dread
ana nate even the day sacred TO worship and home s
purest Joy;She was learning herself 10 look upon
1t as day Of trial, a day Of toll, and whvg Be
cause mostly of a little more sleep and Iittle
more slumber.'
No words passed between husband and wife TIL
they rose to retire. Then taking her hand. he said
half seriously, half jocosely, Suppose, Julia. We
turn over new leaf This is the last Sunday in
the year. Shall we begin anew and right on the
first of the next?' - l-r
"WeH try" was the brief answer, in voice chok-
ed with emotion.
And she did try Let US see the result. 1t is a
beauteous Sunday morning, smile upon heaven
and earth, and a smile on the countenance Of each
member Of the family, as they gather at half past
around the neat breakfast table covered with
cloth riyaling the snow in whteness, and set with
Shakerlike precision. And the yiands, not costly
are they, and yet king might relish them-stealls
broiled to turn potatoes bursting into fakes, cof-
fee clear as rare old wine, and-paneakes as light
az feather.
And what a beautiful group discuss the meal,
father in his Sunday suit, in the best of humor,
mother in a neat morning dress, every braid in
place, and children with plated and cured tresses,
and white forehead open TO view, and all in church
dress, tOO-ah, it is home picture, beautiful to
the eye and cheering to the heart.
The day was well begun and half the race was
run. Everything went easy, for there was plenty
of time, and every one was good natured IN the
use of it. The mother did get out in the morning
and had the pleasure of listening to an eminent
preacher she had long yearned to hear but enjoyed
the devotions with heart in its right place. The
old friends long absent from the place, were met
and cordially invited home, and TO a seat beside
her table, spread ere she had left for church The
tea-table was joyous place, end the time spent in
the sitting room with the husband and little ones,
was in truth as fOretaste Of heaven, while the
quiet evening was full of bliss. my cup is full"
was her language as she pressed her pillow, "this
has been indeed u blessed day; thank God that
He gave me strength of will to turn over a new
leaf"

Henry and bis Half Dollar.

Henry was the son of an Industrious farmer in
v. lie was prompt and active at play when
he could get recreation.
One day, when he was about thirteen, he was at
mill in his fathers neighborhood, and an old man
who lives few miles up the river, came to get
small quantity Of -four on credit. The old man
said his aged wife was sick, and wanted little
-four to make her something she could eat but
had no money to pay for it, aud was obliged to ask
a credit for few weeks.
The miller positively refused to let him have the
-four, and the poor man, dispirited and sad turned
towards his home He knew not what to do
dsliked to go to his neighbors and reg for bread
and he feared if he asked for credit he might
meet with the same repulse the miller had giytn
him.
Young Henry heard all that passed between the
miller and the old man and he saw him leave the
mill for his home, without flour to make cake even
a cake for his sick wife. He saw his sOrrowful
face aod his fearful eye, and the boys heart was
touched. As soon as tine old man was gone,
Henry went to the miller and begged him TO send
the old man some -four; but he would not. Then, -
said the generous hearted boy, here is half dol
Iar-it is the only money / have in the wOrd-give
me its worth in flour, and will give it to that
poor mans wife.
The miller measured up the -four, and Henry
took it on his shoulder, and away he went. He
got tired and sat down and rested, and then be
arose and pushed on, painting and tugging along
with his load at length he reached the pooI
mans cabin upon the bank Of the mill creek, Just
as the old man had got home and told mis- tale to
his sick wife He was sitting in the corner in deep
detection of spirits but she, with humble conf
dence in God, had just said, The Lord will pro-
vide" She did not murm1r OF complain, but told
her husband TO be of good courage, and not de-
spond- just at that moment Henry entered with
his bag Of -four and gave it to the old man. The
| sick woman blessed him and prayed for him; the
old man was to full to say word. but shed tears
