HOW INDIAN CAN DIE.

A touching instance OF this character
istic trait occurred at the late engagement
between small war party of Sioux near
Cedar Island Lake. The Chippewas, who
were en- route for scalplng foray upon
the Sioux villages on the Minnesota, here
fell into an ambuscade, and the first no.
tice of danger which saluted their ears,
was discharge of fire arms from a
thicket Four of their number fell dead
in their tracks Another, named the
War Cloud leading brave had leg
broken by bullet His comrades were
10th to leave him, and whilst their as
sailants were reloading their guns, at
tempted to carry him along with them to
where they could gain the shelter of a
thicket, a short distance IN the rear. But
he commanded them to leave him, telling
them that he would show his enemies how
they seated him on log with his back
leaning against tree He then com
menced painting his face and singing his
death song. As his enemies approached
him he only sung louder aud a livolier
strain, and when several had gathered
around him fourishing their scalping
knives. and screeching forth their demon
lac yell of exultation, not look or ges-
ture manifested that be was even aware
of their presence. At length they seized
him and tore his scalp from his head. Still
seated witt. his back against large tree
they commenced shooting their arrows in
to the trunk around his head, grazing his
ears, neck, sc, until they literally pinned
him fast, without having once touched a
vital part. Yet our hero remained the
same imperturbable stole, continuing to
chant his defiant strain, and although one
of the number fourished his reeking
scalp before his eyes-still not a single
expression of his countenance could be
observed to change. At last one of the
number approached him with tonahawk
which after few unheeded hourishes he
buried in the captive's skull, who sank in
death with the song still upon his lips,
He had indeed succeeded well in teaching
his enemies chow a Chippewa could die. y
A few days afterwards they were taught
how a ChippeWa could be dye2re1L

THE MOTHERLESS.

G7i help and shield the motherless,
The stricken, bleeding dove
For whom there gushes no rich fount
Ofdeep ard deathless love!
The saddest title grief confers-
For who so lone as they,
Tn0n whose path a mothers love
s eds not its holy rays.
10 gentle form above them bends
To sooch the couch of pain
No voice 50 fond as hers, essays
To calm the teyerish brain,
Oh. other tongues may whisper love,
IN accents soft and mild;
Bat none on earth so pure as that
A mother bears her child
Judge kindly of the motherless-
4 weary lot is theirs,
And Oft the heart the gayest seems,
A load Of sorrow bears,
No faithful voice directs their steps,
Or bids them onward press,
aAad if they gang a keEuin wrang,"
God help the motheriess
And when tae sinful and the frail,
Tue tempted and the tried,
Tuspotted one shall cross thy path,
04 spurn them not aside.
Thou kuowest not what thou hadst been
With trials even less
A1i ahea thy lips would vent reproach,
Think, THEY ARE MoTHERLEss
blessing on the motherless,
Naere er they dwell on earth,
NEau the home OF childhood,
Ug al the strangers : hearth
E.le bs the sky above their heads,
And bright the sun within,

Aad keep them free from sin!

Process OF MAKING SHor--The editor
of the St. Louis Herald has been taking
an observation by elevating himself to the
top of kennett 4 Simond's shot tower. of
that city lie attained an altitude of $50
feet. From his high position he tells US
how shot are made:
" The pig lead is carried to the top of
the tower BY windlass and chain.and work.
ed by steam it is then put in furnace
kept constantly burning night and day,
and attended by two sets of men, one for
the fire and two to pour the melted lead
in tin strainers. After passing through
the strainer it falls distance of 80 feet
the passing through the air giving the
shot their shape or form they fall into
large tub or basin of water; here a man
is engaged iu dipping them oct with
ladle and throwing them on an inclined
plane, down which they run to drum
heated by steam, and worked by machin-
cry so as to dry the shct; when dry they
are passed into revolving drum which
stops by action Of machinery every five
minutes, for polishing them from this
drum they are thrown into a hopper, pass
over series of inclined planes where the
defective shot are carried off, and then
through sieves into drawers, where they
are assorted by action Of machinery on
the sieves then into the large boxes from
which they are taken and put in sacks,
weighed and are ready for use"

and few hens, yet he and his wife always
appear cheerful and contcnted, and pre-
serve respectable appearance on their

/ We know of a man in New York who
expcuds $4,000 per annum for his house
hold expenses. He pays for gas light
more than the whole income of the Michi-
gan man. He makes annual holiday pres
ents to more than the whole amount of
property of the Michigan man 1t costs
him sum six times as large as the whole
income Of our philosopher to support

We know them both very we'll and We
