The Indian legend relative to the spirit-home
Of Washington, is extracted from Morgans
League of the Iroquis. tits curious as showing
the estimation in which the Father of his Coun-
try was held by this singular people, and their
idea of future felicity:
"Among the modern beliefs engrafted upon
The ancient faith Of the Iroquis, there is one
which is worthy OF particular notice. According
To their present belief, white man ever
reached the Indian Heaven. Not having been
created by the Great Spirit, no provision was
made for him in their scheme of theology. He
was excluded both from Heaven and the place
of punishment. But an exception was made in
favor oil Washington. Because OF his justice
aud benevolence to the Indian. he stood pre-
ethiueut above all other while men. When, by
tue peace of l7S3. the Indians were abandoned
by the British allies, aud left to make their own
terms with the American government, the lro-
uuls We're more exposed TO severe measures
than uief tribes in the alliance At this critical
moment Washington interfered in their behalf
IL. the protector of Indian rights, and the advo-
cate Of policy towards them OF the most en-
lighened justice and humanity. After his death
he was mourned by the Iroquis as benefactor
os their race, and his memory was cherished
with reverence and affection. belief was
spread among them that the Great Spirit had
received him into a celestial residence upon the
plains of Heaven, the only white man whose
deeds entitled him to this heavenly favor. Just

please cultivated taste, had been gathered in
the blooming Eden, to render IL most delight

The faithful Indian, as he enters Heaven passes
The enclosure. He sees and recognizes the H.
iusri"us inmate as he walks TO and fro in quiet
meditarinn. But no word passes his lips

WALKING LEAVES OF AUsTRALIA.--Almost
everybody has heard OF the wonderful walking
leaves OF Australia. For long time after the
discovery of that Island many people really be-
lieved that the leaves of certain tree, which
flourishes there, could walk about the ground
The story arose in this way :-Some English
sailors landed upon the coast one day, and after
roaming about until they were tired, they sat
down under a tree to rest themselves. A puff
OF wind came along and blew off shower of
leaves, which, alter turning over and over in the
air, as leaves generally do, finally rested ON the
ground. AS it was midsummer and everything
appeard quite green. the circumstance puzzled
the sailors considerably. But their surprise
was much greater, you may well suppose,
when, after short time they the leaves
crawling along the ground towards the trunk of
the tree. They at ono for their vessel, with
out stopping 10 examine into the matter at all,
and set sail from the land where everything
seemed TO be bewitched. One of the men said
that be expected every moment to see the trees
set to and dance jig.
Subsequent explorations of Australia have
taught Us that these walking leaves are insects.
They live upon The trees. Their bodies are very
thin aud tIat, their wings forming large leai-like
organs. When they are disturbed. their legs
are 'lded away under their bodies. leaving the
shape exactly like ii leaf. with It's stem all COM

ton. When shaken from the tree, they lie ior
few minutes upon the ground, as though they
were dead but presently they begin To crawl
along towards the tree, which they ascend gain.
They rarely use their wings. although they are
pretty well supplied in this respect.

A FAIR REToRT.-A correspondent of the

the discontinue of beau, in attempt to get
