UNwRITTEN PoETRY.-Far down
in the depths of the human heart there
is fountain of pure and hallowed
feeling from which, at times, swells
up tide of emotions which words are
powerless to express-which the soul
alone can appreciate. Full many
hearts overnowing with sublime tho'ts
and holy imaginings, need but the
''pen of fire" to hold enraptured thou
sands in its spell. The thoughts that
breathe" are there, but not the "words
that burn" Natures own inspira-
ton fills the heart with emotions too
deep for utterance, and with the poet
ry Of the heart lies forever conceal
ed in its own mysterious shrine.
Unwritten poetry! 1t is stamped
upon the broad blue sky, it wrinkles
in every star. 1t mingles in the
oceans surge, and glitters in the dew
drop gems the illy's bell. 1t glows
in thegorgeous colors of the west at the
decline Of day, and rests in the black
ened crest of the gathering storm
cloud. 1t is on the mountains heihtg
and in the cataract's roar in the
towering oak, and in the tiny flower.
Where we can see the hand of God,
there beauty finds her dwelling place.

How AN INDIAN BATTLE is FouGHr
The editor of the Omaha Nebraskian
is laboring to convince emigrants that
there is not the least danger to be ap-
pretended from the depredations of
the Indians in that territory. Since
its settlement but one white person
has been killed by them, and that one
by mistake. He was dark colored,
end the Sioux thought he was a half
breed Pawnee. There is now not the
slightest danger from this source
The writer gives graphic description
of an Indian battle:
Two War parties-generally two or
three hundred men, women and chill
dren, dogs and horses-come in sight
and halt at distance of from one-half
to a mile Of each other. The women,
children, dogs and horses are immedi-
ately coralled by the men surrounding
them, to prevent general stampede.
When this arrangement is completed,
the dusky warriors pitch in alterna-
lively, as follows:
The young aspirant for glory, horse
shoe vermillion on his eyebrows,
mounts war-steed, d,-generally a la
zy, scrubby pony-and, with spur and
whip, describes as swiftly as possible,
semi-circle in the direction Of the en-
emy's coral, keeping however out Of
the reach of arrows or bullets from the
bows or worthless fint-locks of the
main body of the Indians, but ready
to meet a straggler like himself from
the other camp. If the two curved
lines described by the warriors from
either camp do come within hundred
yards of eaah other, the warriors, at
full gallop, discharge their respective
weapons, be they bows or rusty fire
arms. After these champions return
safely to their respective camps, two
others, one from each party, with
whoop and yell more alarming than
their weapons, start out upon simi-
lar venture. In this way the battle is
carried on for hours, without a single
fatal shot from either party. After
giving to each other sufficient evidence
Of proves, the parties retire, and no
damrge is done unless some luckless or
hardy hunter is caught out alone,
when he is attacked by the whole un
friendly tribe. This is an Indian bat
tie, very poetic, indeed, but not so We
ry dangerous. after all.

A SoNG FOR SPRING.-There is no
prettier song of spring than that of
Soloman, which is worth publishing as
often as winter departs apd spring with
her sunshine smiles and drapery of

'Lo, the winter is past: the rain is
ouet and gone: the flowers appear on
the earth; the time of the singing Of
the birds is come, and the voice of the
turtle is heard in the land: the fig treo
putteth forth her green figs, and the
vines of the tender grapes give good
smell"

ORIGIu OF THE TURKISH CREs-
cENT.--When Philip of Mascedon ap-
preached by night with his troops to
scale the walls Of ,Byzantium, the
moon shone out and discovered his de-
sign to the besieged, who vigorously
repulsed him. The crescent was af-
terwards adopted as the badge of the
city. When the Turks took Byzanti-
um, they founnd the crescent in every
public place, and believing it to pos
sess some magical power, they adopted
it themselves.

gossip ought not to wonder if We

ed, "My son, did you ever do good
deed in your life p

Jew once"
''How was that?" inquired the con.

''You see," said Pat, "the long

-Artless Simplicity.

One OF the sweetest incidents which
we have noticed for many day, and
one which shows the effect of early
training assisted by pure and unde-
tiled imagination, has just fallen under
my observation. 1t is thus related:
A lady visited New York city and
saw on the sidewalk ragged, cold
and hungry little girl, gazing wistfully
at some of the cakes in a shop win
dow. She stopped, and taking the
little one by the hand, led her into the
store. Though she was aware that
bread might be better for the cold
child than cake, yet desiring to graft
ty the shivering and forlorn one, she
bought and gave her the cake she
wanted. She then took her to anoth
er place, where she procured her a
shawl and other articles of comfort
The grateful little creature looked the
benevolent lady full in the face, and
with artless simplicity said, care you
Gods wife % Did the most eloquent
speaker ever employ words to better
advantage.
