Another young minister of similar character
paid him visit, and Matthew Observed he sport
ed what he though, very indecent numper Of
watch seals lie eyed them for some time, as il
scruiinizing the material Of which they were
maIo, and then said, with a terrible sarcastic
air;
II seems 10 me you've got great many
seals TO your ministry, considering how young
you are
lie was once preaching on some public occa-
sion, when there were no, less Than fifty persons
in the congregation takiag notes Of his sermon.
~ length he stopped suddenly for a minute.
and the stenographers having nothing to do, all
looked up, and were gazing at him with aston
ishment.
Behold . said he, 4 have confounded the
scribes.
On one occasion, as he was on his way 10
meeting Of ministers, he go, caugh, in show
er in the place Of Billingsgate. where there we're
a large number Of women dealing In fish, who
were using mos, profane and vulgar language.
As he stopped under a shed in the midsi Of
them, he felt called upon to give at least his
testimonial against their wickedness.
Don't you think said he, speaking with the
creates, delberaiion and solemniiy, don't you
think shall appear as n swift witness against
you, in the day Of Judgment
4 presume so,' said one, for the biggest
rogue always turns States evidence, ?
Matthew, when he got to the meeting, rela-
ted the incident.
And what did you say in reply, Mr. Wilkes =
What could = was the Characteristic reply.

iance, bu, go thai they would shine full upon
him.
And now commenced the orges-ihey dranl,
10 inioxication--ihey danced ind sung in their
wild Indian manner, chanting the dirge Of tho
recreaut brave. The arrow was itted to the
bowslfinR, and ever and anon with its shril
iwang II sent missile into the quivefing flesh
Of the homicide and TO heighten his misery
they cut on his ears and nose.
Alternately drinking, dancing, beating their
rude drums, and shooting their arrows into the
victim, the night passed.
The next day was spent in sleeping and eat
ing, the victim meanwhile still bound 10 the
tree. What his reflections were, we Of course
cannot tell, hut he bore bis punishment as
warrior should.
When night was closed around, il brought
the execu,ioners to their work again. The
scene Of the first night was re-enacied, and so
!, was the next night, and the next, and the
next, and 80 on for week. Seven long and
weary days did he stand there tortured with
the most cruel torture, before his proud head
dropped upon his breast, and his spirit left iis
clayey tenement for the hunting grounds Of the
Great Spirit. And when il did ihoy took the
body, wrapped it in a new clean blanket and
placed it in tho log coffin he had helped to hol-
low.
They put his hunting knife by his side tina,
he might have something TO defend himself on
the way, his whisky bottle that he might cheer
his spirits with draught now and then, and
his tobacco and pipe that he might smoke
Then they put on the cover, drove down stakes
each side Of the log, and filed up between
them with logs and brush. The murdered
squaw was avenged. Tho camp was broken
up and The old stiffness and quiet once more
reigned over the forest spot where was consum.
mated this signal act Of retrbuiive justice.
Our informant has visited the spot often sincs
.hen-ihe log is still there with its cover aud
beneath may still be seen the skeleton Of tho
victim.

WATCH. MoTuEni


Motherl watch the little feet
Climbing ger the garden wall.
Rounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall.
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time It costs;
Little feet will go astray,
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Motherl watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
''Why 10 me this weary task 2"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers Of light and love.
Motherl watch the little tongue
Prating eloquent and wild,
What is said and what is sung,
By the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before tits broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in a Sayiour's name.
Motherl watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true.
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripening for eternity.

EVENING THOUGHTS.

BY the easement sit | watching,
Watching for the evening star
Comes 1t now, in peerless beauty,
Radiant in its home afarl
BY the easement sit musing,
Musing on the days long past,
Coming over by-gone pleasures,
Vainly wishing they might last.
By the easement sit dreaming,
Dreaming of a twilight hour.
When loves first, soft, trem'lous brcathings,
Der my spirit came with power
Kneeling at my evening vespers,
Plead | now with Heaven above,
For the spirits gracious influence,
For trusting heart Of love.
Father, at Thy footstool bending,
|, apenitent have come,
Give Thy hayward child a blessing,
Fit me for Thy Heavenly home.

AN INDIAN EXECUTION.

In different parts of Central Michigan there
are two tribes Of Indians, the oltawas and
Chippewas. They are friendly TO each other,
and during the hunting season frequently encamp
near each other. In the fall OF 1853 party
of one tribe built their cabins on the banks of
the Maple river, and party Of the other tribe,
about eight in number, encamped in what is
now the town OF Dallas. il is unnecessary to
speak of their life in these camps; suffice il TO
say, that the days were spent 10 hunting, and
the lights in drinking "fire water and carous-
ing. In one Of the reyels at the camp on Ma
pie river, an Indian, maddened by liquor, killed
his squaw, and to conceal the deed threw the
body into the fire.
Recovering from the stupor Of The revel he
saw the signs of his guilt before him, and fear
ing the wrath Of The tribe, he fed toward the
other encampment.
His absence was noticed, The charred remains
of the poor squaw were found, and the cry for
blood was raised. The avengers were soon up
on his track-they pursued him to the encamp-
ment Of their neighbors-he was found, appre-
hended, and 10 sole mn council doomed TO the
death which in the stern old Indian code 10 re-
served for those only who shed the blood Of
their kin. j was a slow, tortnring, cruel
death. A hatchet was placed in the victims
hands, he was led to large log that was hol-
low, and made 10 assist in fixing it for his cof-
fin. This was done by cutting il some dis
tance on the top, in two places about the length
of man apart, then slabbing off and digging
the hollow larger; 50 as to admit his body
This dona he vvaa faken hack and tiad faat N

RIVAL BEAuTIEs OF NEwPoRT.-A lively
correspondent, describing a scene at Newport,
says
"The New York ladies took the palm for
style the Bosionians for reserve, selfposses-
sion, and intellectual features the Baltimoreans
for girlish beauty the Philadelphians for quiet,
good taste and gentiliiy the Southerners for
reposo Of manner and warmth Of eye while
remarkable group of refined and winning fair
ones proclaimed the careful education and
charms which flourish in comparative obseuriiy
in the prosperous minor towns Of the land. A
good sprinkling Of foreigners added to the pr
quancy Of the scene. Occasions like this are
the Towering time of the social world at New
pori-when roses, lilies, vioets, the suPerb,
the delicate, and the modest daughters of Eve,
the exotic and the wild flowers, bloom in their
freshest charms and in brilliant combination,
with here and there gaudy dahia or peony,
typical Of vulgar pretrensons, and a thistle,
the symbol of tartar, 70 enhance the ehec,
OF the whole by contrast"

Connecticut, from the "Wesiern Reserve" to

revolutionary struggle, more particularly at
New London, Norsalk and Fairfield, All

title 10 the lands was not evea extinguished,
and the first settlers experienced great difficulties
arising from this fact The red man and the
beasts of the field eontended with the pale face
for the possession Of the soil, aud the new
coners found themselves isolated. as il were,
far from their friends and assistance, and obg-
ed TO fight their way to the ownership Of their
claim. Nor were these the greatest difficulties
against which they had 10 struggle. Disease,
that prolific source Of misery and destituiion,
stalked abroad in their midst, and for year or
two after locating. the sturdy pioneer and his
family were compelled TO undergo an acclimat-
