track of Wesleys.
| told them that many years before |
had read an account of the murder Of
child by its aunt Eunice Gregory assist
ed by her lover Bob Harmon, for the
purpose of obtaining the possession ol
her neice's fortune In that account it
was stated that Harmon, at the time of The
murder, had fallen down an area and
gashed his forehead horribly, which alter
wards healed over and left a peculiar
scar, which was described. The hints
| received from Helen's story, and the
old bit of letter signed Eunice Gregory,
had set my memory to work, aud when
met Wesley and observed the peculiar
scar or his forehead, the whole thing
flashed upon me, and | then determined
to make bold push to expose them, and
not only to defend Helen against the
charge of larceny, but wrench from her
unnatural aunt that patrimony which had
been withheld from her. a
"And gentlemen" said |, "you have
seen the result" My explanation was
received with much applause, and a
movement was sci on foot to have the
Wesleys indicted for perjury. But it
was never carried out, as they disappear
ed from that part of the country, and, we
all thought it best not to bring them back
for any purpose whatever. Is - .
In conclusion, | may state that He

For all Golconda's treasure;

Sealed closely let my future be,

One short year since, had / have

That those l once thought friende

Enough for me that sovereign love

And shall at length salvation prove

A Thrilling Indian Tragedy.

The following graphic sketch of the
death of The brave Fontanelle, chief OF
Omahas, in a single handed conflict with
a band of Sioux, we copy from the MIS-
souri, Democrat. 1t is the more interes-
ting on account of having occurred very
recently. ....
Logan Fontanele, the chief of the
Omabas, has ust been slain and scalped
at Loup Fork, by band of Sioux
Logan was a noble fellow, and in this
last mortal conflict he dispatched several
of the enemy 10 the spirit land before,
to herald the coming Of his own soul.
He fought long, desperately, and with
great effect, but numbers finally over
came him, and his life departed through
hundred wounds. He died martyr
to his people, aud his name should be
carved upon flames brightest tablet.
He was on his annual hunt with his
people. A number ol his lodges were
pitched upon the plains near Loup Fork,
AS a young warrior one day rode round
the adjacent hills, he espied large body
of Sioux encamped along stream in a
sequestered vale. He FASTENED 10 in
form Logan of the proximity and pow
er of their natural foe. Logan ordered
his people 10 60 back in straigh! line,
with all speed Tor home, while he would
remain behind and divert the Sioux by
false camp fires and other devices, from
direct pursuit Of them. This was
about twilight. The people got under
way as quick as possible, but not too
soon for scarcely had they turned a
highland when several Sioux warriors
came in sight and discovered the place of
their recent encampment. They exam
Lined it and found that the Omahas had
been there and then returned to their
chief to notify him and bring an ade-
quate force 10 pursue and slaughter
them. q e.
Logan, from hiding place, saw all,
and knew that no time was to be lost in
drawing their attention from the trail,
which they would soon discover and fol-
low, and mounting his horse he DASH
ed away across the prarie, at right angles
with the course his tribethad taken, ant
struck fire on an eminence, about
eight miles distant, where the Sioux
could distinctly see it. He had scarcely
done SO before powerful band were OF
the spot he and his people had just lef
and without stopping TO distinguish the
trail, started for the FIRE which they saw
rising against the clear blue sky, ant
where in another moment they expected
to imbrue their hands in the gore o
their unguarded victims. But Lcgar
had not been unwary. As soon as th'
fire was lighted, Logan mounted and rod'
only eight or len miles further, and kin
died another fire just as they reached
the first. This rather bewildered then
They dismounted and examined th'
ground. Logan anticipating this, hat

If your foot is pretty, showit
No matter where nor when;
Let all fair maideus know it,
The foot takes ali the men.

But ii the foot is homely,

If your foot i. pretty, show it,
When you trip along the street;
For it will catch the eager eye
OF every man you meet.
Don't toss your glossy ringlets,
Nor pout your lips SO sweet;
But gently lift your pctticoats,
And show your handsome feet.
If your foot is pretty, show it,
At concert, ball and fair;
For that small pedal index,
Tells chere your grdces are.
The figure may deceive me,
Ali hooped and padded DER;
But let my eyes survey thy feet,

If your foot is pretty, show it,
If you want to catch the beaux,
No longer hide that tell-talc charm
Beneath SO many clothes.
A graceful foot betrays form
OF rare and taultiess grace;
Full, rounded limbs it doth reveal.
For fancy'S eye to trace.
If your foot is pretty, show it,
Yes show it when you can
Twill help your other lovely charms,
To win some nice young man.

Man is never wrong while he lives for
others; the philosopher who contemplates
from the rock is a less noble image than
the sailor who struggles with the storm.

the cpigram:

MIR. CANTwELL's LECTURE-The citizens of Char.

evening last the occasion of Mr.. Cantwe's lecture
before the Mecklenburg Atheneum. A cultivated
and intelligent audience of ladies and gentlemen
manifested their pleasure and appreciation by fire.
quent applause during the delivery of the lecture,
and afterwards by the bestowment of the highest
encomiums upon the effort.
The subject was" l84S-Progress and Education"
The lecturer commenced with review of the con-
dition of the country in 1s48, especially North Caro-
lina and compared it with the present advanced
state of progresson-elucidatng valuable statiscal
information and showing by facts and figures what
progress the Old North State had made in nine years.
In 1848 she had but $50 miles of railroad in opera.
ton now she has twice that amOunt-then she had
but few Colleges and Schools; now they have in
creased four old-hen her citizens were leaving and
seeking homes elsewhere; now they returning
to their old homes with hearts and stronger
admiration for their native State and with the de-
termination that in North Carolina their lives shall
De spent and in her soil their bones shall repose
We will not attempt synopsis of the lecture,
knowing full we'll that we cannot do the speaker
justice.
The compositions was chaste and elegant pro-
duction, indicating Mr.. Cantwers superior literary
ability, and interspersed with the most profound
thought, and research, together with many humor-
GUS and happy illustrations of the subject The
lecturers advice to young men, and his good-natured
hints to young ladies, struck as being peculiarly
appropriate and well-timed.
After the Lecture, the Rev. Mr.. Hewitt of the
Episcopal Church, arose and moved vote of thanks
to the speaker, which tendered by reclamation.
