A DOLLAR OR TWO.

With cautious step. as we tread our way through
This intricate world, as ether folks do,
May we still on our journey be able to view
The benevolent face of dollar or two.
No friend is SO true as a dollar or two,
Through country or town. as We tread up and
a down,
No prospect 30 good as dollar or two
Would you read yourself out of the bachelors
crew,
And the hand of pretty young female sue?
You must always be ready the handsome to do,
Although it would cost you a dollar or two.
Loves arrows are tipped with dollar or two,
And affections are gained with dollar or two
The best aid you can meet, in advancing your
suit,
Is the eloquent chink Of dollar or two.
Would you wish your existence with faith to
imbue,
And enroll in the ranks of the sanctifed few
To enjoy good name and well-cushioned
You must freely come down with dollar or two.
The gospel is preached for dollar or two,
And salvation is reached by dollar or two
You may sin sometimes, but the worst of all
crimes
IL to find yourself short of a dollar or two.

We cannot but suggest TO our readers
the importance and advantage of combin-
ing with the usual duties Of the farm such
experiments as may easily be conducted
without any interruption of the work, and
yet will often lead to the most decisive
results. If one is to plant an aero of po-
tatoes, for instance, divide tinto quarters,
and each quarter into eighths if needed,
and plant one part with small seed, anoth-
er with large. another cut. and another
whole manure one part in the hill, anoth-
er outside, On one quarter try salt to
prevent the rot, on another lime, another
ashes, DC. No man can do this without
soon increasing his knowledge of agricul.
.ure. as soon after his wealth. - Granite

TO

Brother, farewell our Father smile upon thee,
And guide thee safe, where'er thy footsteps roam;
Scatter the shadows that may gather round thee,
Till thou in safety reach thy heavenly home.
o, oft I've looked upon thee, friend and brother,
And known thy spirit longing after fame,
known thee impatient, restless to discover
Earth's mysteries, and win her highest, noblcst
name.
Thy heart is well attuned to Nature; thou could It
linger
Amid her walks, and hold communion dear
With unseen spirits, or clearly trace the finger
OfHim, who rules in justice every rolling sphere
I've read within thy heart, since first met thee
These lofty aspirations after fame,
And oft have asked our Father to direct thee,
That all thy acts might glorify His name.
And shouldst thou take thy seat in halls Of learn
ing,
Forget not thou our Fathers claims to meet;
Should'st thou win aurcls, with thy keen dis
cerning,
o. lay thy trophies at the Saviour feet

The Indians Passing Away.

Col. A. Fl. Red6eld. Indian Agent for
the Upper Missouri, has just transmitted
to the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs his
annual report. From it we learn that
several of the tribes in that region have
suffered terrible from the small pox during
the last year. The Gros Venties and
Mandans (uniled in one tribe J and the
Yanctons and Rickarees, have lost one
fourth of their number by this disease
The Assiniboines have suffered even more
severely. More than one-fourth of their
whole number have perished. Col. Red
field found thirty deserted lodges near
Fort William, the owners of which had
pershed by Small pox. Contrary to the
custom of the Indians, the dead bodies
were left exposed. a few years since the
Mandems themselves numbered over 500
lodges now they cannot count over DO
or 80. The rayages Of this fearful disease
have been terrible.
The Gros VentreS and the Mandems,
like the Bickarees. live in permanent
habitations, and cultivate corn, vines and
vegetables to considerable extent. and
Col Redfeld expresses the opinion that
with proper assistance and instruction,
these Indians, together with the lanc.ons
and Rickarees, might make rapid progress
towards civilization in a few years. we
should be glad to believe thai such for
tune was in store for these Indians but
alas civilization seems to be fatal to them
as to the rest of the race. They readily
learn to copy the vices of the white men
without profting by their virtues and
small pox and its equally fatal ally " fire
water, both gifts of civilization-are
driving them rapidly toward annihilation.
We may, nay, we must deplore their fate,
but it is inevitable. They never would,
under the most favorable circumstances,
WELD to civilized influences. Of the nu-
merous powerful tribes scattered over the
whole continent when the whites landed
upon it, how few now remain Ii is
reckoned that they now number five hun
dred thousand in North America, OF
whom probably not five hundred will re-
main at the end of the present century
