bited in his late Presidential message.

Iy. For instance, he tells US ltat "all re-
cognition OF the rightfulness of slaveholding
and all national sanction OF the practice was
carefully excluded from that instrument" --
alluding to the Federal Constitution. He says
this in the face of the fact that the Consti'

THE TWO SISTERS.
By ALICE CAREY.

In a poor little house that stood almost
within the shadow of great mountain there
lived once two sisters named Agnes and FL
thea. Orphans they were, and heirs OF no
thing but an honest name and the trade of
their parents, which was that Of weaving.
The elder, Agnes, had black hair, pale
face, hands that were never idle, and a
tongue that was always still, except when it
repeated prayers, Or when the volubility of
Elthca provoked it to speech.
s'AIirth i'll becomes us, good sister," she
sometimes said in her severe piety. ''Do
not the bones of our parents moulder in the
darkness that will never give them up till
the judgment, and is not our bread to be
miserably earned by our weaving, and if
we take time to laugh, what will become Of
the work?'
''You are very wise, Agnes, and [ am
very weak for though | know our parents
are dead, and we are poor girls who must
weave from morning till night, can hard
ly suppress my wicked inclination to laugh
and to sing" So Elthea would reply, and
trying to separate the smiles from her rosy
mouth, she would weave very demurely for
five minutes, then, unawares, break into
mockery of the bird at the door-side, or ask
Agnes how it was that so often at night her
cloth measured the longer.
"Giddy SOUL" Agnes would answer, with
never smile, ''know you not that the devil
helps his own?'
| This was dreadful thought, and, pom
dering it, Elthea would remain silent a
whole half-hour sometimes but in the end
laugh again, and reply, eff it be as you say,
good sister, will sing while may, for the
breath use in singing would not last me
to cool the fires of thousand years hence. "
80 my poor sister," Agnes would sigh,
moistening the thread of her weaving with
her tears; and thus from day to day they
sat at their looms, roses blooming in the
cheeks of one, and wrinkles and palor max
ing the face Of the other old before its time.
At twilight Elthea went with their woven
cloth to the neighboring convent, where it
was embroidered by the sisters in patterns
fine and beautiful enough for queens to
wear. If it were summer, she plucked flow
ers on the way and made crowns for her
golden hair, which she wished might be ad-
Imired by eyes besides her own, as she bent
down her head over the little still places "a
long the brook.
If Agnes could have seen how nicely she
disposed the flowers, and with what vanity
she broadened the golden bands Of her hair,
she would have frowned, even at her pray
ers; but Elthea never wore home the flow
ers. She gave them to the brook, whose
bright waters carried them lovingly away,
est dimensions before crossing the thresh-
hold of the gloomy house where, till her re-
turn, the freight seemed afraid to shine.
One night, as she was spreading the table
with bread and grapes and milk, singing a
song so low that it hardly came out of her
heart, song that was half thanksgiving
and half prayer, the great bell of the mon
astery began to toll so solemnly that for a

shared with him her bread and her freside;
was henceforth to share with him his broad
and beautiful palace, and for the shelter she
had given him from one storm he would
shelter her from all the storms of life.
And Elthea was loved and honored by
all her people as long as she lived, and ma
ny was the real minstrel that blessed her
name, and sang songs in her praise; and
many was the embroidered train she wore
that was made of the cloth she had woven
when poor girl, and the cloudy days and
stormy days were always brightest with the
blessing Of memory. And to the end Of
her life Agnes wore coarse frocks, and wove
cloth to make embroideries that she never
saw, fretting and scolding at her sisters
good fortune all the while. and spelling be-
fore its time the beauty Of face that ght
have rivaled her sisters if she had suffered
her heart to shine through it the same.

We might notice numerous instances to
show that the Indian, though savage enc
my, is more susceptible of kindness and
more completely under the influence of the
highest and noblest feelings ofthe human soul
than any other people; and the strictest
principles Of integrity and honesty was ever
manifested on their part, till the oppres-
sion of the whites had driven them to des-
peration.
Their wars were wars Of self-defence
they were fighting for their country, for
their hunting grounds, for their homes,
and for the graves of their fathers But in
all their savage deeds of cruelty they were
never known to molest the Quakers, being
taught to reverence them; and in many
instances, during the Indian wars, have the
houses occupied by these peaceful Friends
been left unmolested, while every house in
the settlement was plundered and burned.
But the Indians have been overpowered by
superior force, yet their magnanimous minds
have never been made to yield in slavery to
their oppressors and conquerors. They will
face death with as much fortitude as the
Christian martyrs, but their religion and
their manly feelings alike defy the bonds OF
slavery Their honor is like the bow that
would brake but not bend. But they are
fast passing away. That proud indepen-
dence which formed the main pillar of In
dian virtue, has shaken down, and that no.
bic spirit and native courage has been made
to cover under the superior knowledge and
power of their enlightened neighbors, and
the noble characteristics Of these Indian
tribes are becoming forgotten by the mass
of the people. It is even now scarcely re-
membered that there was time when their
forefathers owned this great land, when their
seats extended from the rising to the sitting
sun, when all these now fertile fields were
their hunting grounds. 1t is true, that
now and then a man of genius touches the
subject with graceful pen and awakens a
transitory feeling in behalf Of their now
fading race.

Mlsrellanfuus,


When William Penn was about to sail
from England to Pennsylvania, he went to
take his leave of the king, and the following
conversation occurred:
''Well, friend William" said Charles, Il
have sold ;Enn <nnhle- province in North
America but still [ suppose you have no
thoughts Of going thither yourself"
Eyes I have" replied William, tsand I
am just come to bid thee farewell"
s'What venture yourself among the saw
ages of North America; why, man, what
security have you that you will not be in
foot on their shores"
'sThe best in the world replied Penn.
81 doubt that, friend William. [ have
no idea Of any security against those canni-
balls, but in regiment of good soldiers,
with their muskets and bayonets. And
mind, tell you before hand, that, with all
my good will for you and your family, to
whom am under obligations, I will not
send single soldier with you"
II want none of thy soldiers" answered
William. 81 depend on something better

The King wished to know aehot that ards
"Why, [ depend on themselves their
own moral sense-even on that grace ofGod
which bringeth salvation and which hath
appeared unto all men,
Il fear, friend William, that that grace
has never appeared to the Indians of North
America"
why not to them as well as all 9th
ersY'
eff it had appeared to them," said the
king, s'they would hardly have treated my
subjects SO barbarously as they have done. %
s'That is no proof to the contrary, friend
Charles. Thy subjects were the aggressors
When thy subjects first went to North A
merica, they found these poor people the
fondest and kindest creatures in the world
Every day they would watch for them to
come ashore, and hasten to meet them, and
feast them on the best fish and venison and
corn, which was all they had. In return
for this hospitality Of the sasages, as we call
them, thy subjects, termed Christians, seiz-
ed on their country and rich hunting
grounds for farms fer themselves! Now, is
it to be wondered at that these much injur-
ed people should have been driven to des-
peration by such injustice; and that burn
ing with revenge they should have commit
ted some excesses Y'
''Well, then, I hope, friend William,
you will not complain when they come to
treat you in the same manner"
Il am not afraid of it," said Penn.
''Aye! how will you avoid it? You
mean to get their hunting grounds too, I
suppose

them"
No, indeed! How then will you get their
lands %
II mean to buy their lands of them"

A CHILD AT PLAY.

A rosy child went forth to play,
In the first flush of hope and pride,
Where sands IN silver beauty lay,
Made smooth by the retreating tide;
And, kneeling on the trackless waste,
Whence ebbed the waters many a mile,
1t raised in hot and trembling haste,
Arch, wall, and tower-a goodly pile.
But when the shades of evening fell,
Yelling the blue and peaceful deep,
The tolling OF the vesper bell
Called that boy-builder home to sleep;
He passed long and restless night,
Dreaming Of structures tall and fair
He came with the returning light,
And 10 ! the faithless sands were bare.
Less wise than that unthinkIng child,
Are all that breathe of mortal birth,
Who grasp with strivlngs warm and wild,
The false and fading toys of Earth.
Gold, learning, glory--what are they
Without the faith that looks on high?
The sand-forts of child at play,
Which are not when the wave goes by.

GRAMMAR IN RHYME.-We advise every
little grammarian just entering on Murray,
Brown, or any Of thousand grammars in
use, to commit to memory the following
easy lines, and then they never need to mis-
take part of speech:
l. Three little words you often see
Are artlcle-a, an, and the.
2. A Nouns the name of anything,
AS school or garden, hoop or sring.
3. Adjectives tell the kind of Noun,
As gzsat, great, s,aa., pretty seltits Qr aragn~~
4. Instead of Nouus the pronouns stand
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
5. Verbs tell something being done
To read, count. sing, jump or run.
g. How things are done the Adverbs tell
As slo,cly. quickly, i'll or ,ceH
T. Conjunction join the words together
AS men and women, wind or weather.
8. The Proposition stands before
A Noun, as in or through door.
9. The Interjection shows surprise,
AS oh! how pretty; ah! how wise.
The whole are called Nine Parts of Speech.
