Az ISDr4s LEeEND-0ut of pine in the Iro-
ground, is growing up with the tree rams
head, with the horns still attached to it; and 90
fixed and imbedded is it in the tree, that Il must
have grown ~ -ith H. Almost re Whole OF
one Of the horns, and more than one-half Of the
head is buried in the tree, but most Of the other
horn and part Of the head protrudes out at least
foot. We examined both, and found the tree
scarcely two feet in diameter. Here We put up
at an early hour, and called the place Rams
Horn EncaEpment. Our Flat-head Indians re-
lated to Us a rather strange story about this
rams head. Indian legend relates that one Of
the first Flat-head Indians who passed this way,
attacked a mountain ram as large and stout as
a common horse; that, on being wounded, the
fierce animal turned round upon his pursuer, who
taking shelter behind the tree, the ram came
against it with all his force, so that he drove his
horn through it; but before he could get il ex-
treated again, the Indian killed him and took
of the body, leaving the head as a memento Of
the adventure. All Indians reverence the cele-
brated tree, which, they say, by the circumstance
related, conferred on them the power Of master
ing and killing all animals; hundreds, therefore.
in passing this way, sacrifice something to the
rams head; and one Of the Iroquois, not to in
cur the displeasure Of the God of hunters, hung
a bit of tobacco on the horn. to make his hHnt-

LOANS IN PRINTING OFErcEs.-The compos-
ing room of a printing Office is not the place TO
tell long stories, or argue abstruse points in met
aphysies. Read, ye loungers, and be advised
"a printing Office is Ike school; Il can have
no interiopers, hangers-on, or twsidlers, without
serious inconvenience, to say nothing Of loss
Of time, which Is just as much as gold to the
printer as though it metallicaIly glstened in his
hand. What would be thought Of man who
would enter a school, and twaddle, first with the
teacher, and then with the seholars-intefTupt-
ing the studies of one, and the discipline Of the
Otherl And yet this is the precise effect Of the
loafer in the printing Office. He seriously inter
feres with the course Of business, distracts the
fixed attention which is necessary to the good
printer. No gentleman will ever enter it, and
presume to act loafer. He will feel above il,
for no real man ever sacrifices interests or inter
feres with the duties Of others. The loafer does
both. Let him think, If he ever has, that the
last place he should efsr insiRuate his worthless
and mweleome presence, is in the printing Of
fee"

Let Ne Die Quietly.

4" Be s;in-make nose-let me die quietly. "-ryiee
President KING.
"Be still" The hour of the souls depar.
ture is at hand; Earth is fading from its vision:
Time is gliding from its presence! Hopes that
cluster around young life, that swell in the bo-
som of manhood, have fallen from around Il like
the forest leaves, when the frosts of Autumn
have chilled them unto death. Ambition with
its hollow promises, and pride, with its lofty
looks have vanished away. The world, with its
deeeitfuness; pleasure, with its gilded tempta-
items, are gone; and alone, in utter destitution
of all that time promised it, must start on its
solemn journey across the valley of the shadow
of death!
snake no noise.' Let the tumult of life
cease. Let no sound break the souls commu-
MON with itself ere it starts on its returnless
fight. Trouble it not with the accents of sor-
row. Let the tear stand still on the cheek of
affection; and let not the wailing of grief break
the solemn silence of the death scene. Let 1t
gather the accents that come from within the
dark shadows of eternity, saying to it, come
home. A far of music comes floating to It on
the air. IT'S the sound Of the heavenly harps
touched by viewless fngers-mar not the har-
mony BY the discsrd of earth.
"Let me die quietly" The connections of
life, the struggles of ambition, the strife and
warning with human destiny are over. Wealth
accumulated must be scattered; honors won
must be resigned; and all the triumphs that
come within the range Of human achievements
must be thrown away. The past, with its trials,
its transgressions, its ACCOMPLISHING responsible
tiles, its clinging memories, its vanished hopes,
is rendering up to the future account-distsrb
not the quiet of that awful reckoning. Speak
not Of fading memories, Of affections whose OBJ
jects perish in their loneliness, like the flowers
of Spring, or wither in slow decay. Talk not
of an earthly home where loved ones linger,
where a seat will soon be vacant, a cherished
voice hushed forever, or Of the desolation that
will seat itself by the hearthstone. The soul is
at peace with God; let it pass calmly away
Heaven is opening upon its vision The bright
turets, the tall spires, the holy domes of the
Eternal City, are emerging from the spectral
darkness, and the glsry of the Most High is
dawning around them. The white,throne is glis-
tening in the distance, and the white robed an
gelsare beckOning the weary spirit to its everlast-
Ing home. What is life that it should be chung
to longerl What the joys of the world that
they should be regretted What has earth to
place before the spirit of man to tempt its stay
or turn it from its eternal restl-Al5any R,Sis-
ter.

A Beautiful Thought.

1t was night. jerusalem slept as quietly amid
her hills as a child upon the breast of its moth
er. The noiseless sentinel stood like statue
at his post, and the philosophers lamp burnt
dimly in the recessof his chamber.
But o, dark night was aew sbrosd upsa the
earth. A moral darkness involved the nations
| in its tenighted shadows. Reason shed faint
glimmering over the minds of men, Ike the cold
inefficient shining of distant star. Theimmo-
rality of mans spiritual nature was unknown,
his relations to heaven undiseol cred, and his
future destiny ObscuFed in cloud of mystery.
1t was at this period, two forms Of ethereal
mould lowered over the land of Gods people.
They seemed ike sister angels sent to the earth
on some embassy of love. The one was Of ma
jestic stature, and in the well formed limbs
which her snOSy drapery hardly concealed, in
an impressive gesture upwards, where night ap-
peared to have placed her darkest pavilion, while
on her left reposed her delicate companion, in
form and countenance the contrast of the other,
for she was dropping like flower when moisten-
ed by refreshing dews, ard her bright but tFou-
bled eyes scansed the air with ardent but vary
ing glances. Suddenly light like the sun fash
ed out from the Heaven, anu Faith and Hope
hailed with exuIting songs the ascending Star
of Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, and a stranger was seen
in Jerusalem. He was a meek, unassuming man,
whose happiness seemed to consist in acts Of be-
nevolence to the human race. There were deep
traces of sorrow on his countenance, though no
one knew why he grieved, for he lived in the
practice of every virtue, ard was loved by all
the good and wise. By and by it was rumored
that the stranger worked miracles! That the
blind saw, the dumb spoke, and the dead leaped
to life at his touch. That when he command
ed, the ocean moderated its chatting tide, and
the very thunders articulated he IS the Son Of
God. Envy assailed him with the charge of sor-
Gerry, and the voice Of impious judges condemn
ed him to death. Slowly and thickly guarded
he assembled the hill of Calvary. A heavy cross
bent him 10 the earth. But Faith leaned upon
his arm, and Hope dipping her piniOns in his
blood, mounted to the skies.
