Oh! gaze him now a. he pescefuny hes
with the white shroud enfong his calm dreamess breas
And the pale lids enveiling his dim asure eyss-
Tread lightly, ave lightly, around his last rest
oh (, gaze on that bosom now throbless and stil,
And weep for the light that forever hath ned
Behind the dim awning Of Deaths icy chilli
That wreaths its damp mist o'er his Numbering head
oh gaze on those eyes that shall never more break
From the veil Of the dropping and ssep-laden lid,
And weep for the calm of the beauteous lake
OF once-beaming lustre for evermore hidI
That warn heavng bosom, those bright bsamng eyes,
Have faded and gone to the bosom of Godi
Oh! gaze on him now as he peacefully lies
.sThe strong staff is broke and the beautiful rodP'
He rose bold hero Of grandeur and might,
The pride Of a Nations nlustrious case,
WORLDS admiration-a soft golden light,
That steadily burned through LIES varying ways.
He faded withers the towering oak,
That silently moulders and sinks to decay,
life-founain driedby the tempests wild stroke,
All mournfuly, peacefully passing away
ne fell lin the vines Of affection that bound him
Amid the heart-moan Of q sorrowing world,
And sweetly sleeps with It's iove-nks around him,
And the banner Of heavenly triumph unfurledl
OH gaze on him he peacefully lies,
And dream OF the glory and gladness Of yore;
That cold, shrouded bosom, those dimly veiled eyes
Shall thrill thee and breaA on the spirit no more
No more, mid the praises Of patriot pride,
No more, in land where thy triumphs have trod;
But DER the dark waters Of Deaths narrow tide,
Again-EvER MORE, in the palace Of God!
His life is a story Of honor and fame;
His death the wild sweep Of the hurricanes blast,
His memory, the marble that tablets his name
Unsullied, undying, and loved to the last

DR.. Magoon recently, in lecture on ssMipd
Your Business" }" tells the following good one -
A young man went from New York city to The
West, where he commenced business on his own
account, and married. His friends in the city
were interested in his welfare, and when q mer.
chant was about to journey TO the place whore
the young man had located, hs was requested 20
visit the emigrant, and ascertain how he lived.
what sort OF wife he had chosen, his prospects.
&c. Accordingly the New Yorker ascsrtained the
residence OF his young friend, and called upon
him quite early in the morning. He found him
in small neat cottage and just taking his break
fast. The introduction Of the New Yorker to his
wife waa quite off hand and unceremonious, and
he was requested to bs seated and partake Of the
morning meal. The young wife had prepared the
steak, biscuit and coffee with her own hands, and
for table had used her kneading board, OVER
which napkin was spread, and the sboard' pla-
ced on her lap. The New Yorker declined seat
at the table and took his leave. In making biz
report to his New York friends as to how he found
bis young friend living, he described the style as
magnificent P-and for explanation of the super
lative he said, that were he the owner of that
young mans furniture, he would not take ten
thousand dollars for the legs Of his table.

Summary Of Indian Affairs.

'sWe cannot obtain the least evidence, worthy
of belief, that single settler has been killed
within eighty miles of Mankato."-Fioneer.
eMr. Foley's residence is nearly b alf way from
Mankato to Spirit Lake, the scene of the first
trouble. His understanding is that only foe or
sir Ohi.es were murdered at that place by the In.
dians. ."-Minnesotian.
"Slocum's home, tventy miles from Mankato,
was Immediately surrounded by $50 warriors. A
messenger who has just arrived brings the above
information, which is correct."-Lstter in the
Pioneer.
"Well-perhaps-yes-don't know-may be-
guess few have been kilied-can't say-don't
believe it-think after all some whites haze been
kiled-all humbug !"-Advertiser.
"The information we give carries with it its
own responsibility. The names of those who fa-
ther the report are familiar to all of us, aud
until we have further evidence to the contrsry,
we shall give them the credit for yeracity due
them."-T Times.

The Arctic dog brought home by DR.. Kane has
strayed away off in Allegheny. He has become
the property of James WArthur, timber dealer
in Oramel. The recent intense cold weather has
kept this large, black, shaggy animal in high
spirits. When they take him into the forest
among the timber hewers, where he can do no
of pranks, seeking the deepest drifts, and actual
ly buryipg himself for delight; you can see the
dry snow move, but no resemblance to dog, till
on sudden out he pops, giving his hairy fleece a
tremendous shake, and away he runs for another
dive. Mr.. MArthur calls him s'Es-ki-mo," not a
very smooth name, but very characteristic. To
look sEsk' fair in the face, you see almost the
likeness of black bear, though his eyes are
is nearly equal in bulk to his body. When left
to run at large in the village, he wears muzzle
to prevent his destroying the pigs and chickens

The BEEcHER FAMnY.-Lyman Beccher, D.

children, ten of whom are now living, and one is
not. Taking them in the order of their ages the

VIM. Henry Beecher, Reading. Mass, Rev. Ed

Foolish RumOrS. .

We can't see what object the Pioneer can b ave
in publishing such ridiculous rumors as the fol
lowing, which appears in its Sundays issue:-v
"On Sunday and Monday last, We are informed
"teen hundred persons, residing within circ uit
" of ten miles, sought refuge in the town. Ev-
"ery hotel, store-house and private dwelling was
"crowded.'' "
Why didn't the Pioneer give the names of the
ssgentlemen?" Who are they2 Don't hide be-
hind anonymous intelligence to give circulation
to rumors so admirably calculated to retard en-
igration to this Territory. Two families just ar
rived in this city, on perusing the above para
graph, packed up their "duds" and left on the
boat for below, yesterday. Such stories are a.
suicidal to the interests of Minnesota as six Glen
coe fricasees!

The VERY LATEST,
8 Two-Thirds or IA!
HoSTILITIES CEASEDi

We learn that through the intsrpostion Of
cold Bess," the difficulties existing between the
two eminent chiefs alluded to, have cen adjust
ed, and the calumet of peace smoked. The ad-
mission of Owens that Q was two-th irds of IA
brought about the desired reconciliatio ou.
By the way, We are informed by Mr.. Isalcombs,
that no excitement whatever exists in tn Minne-
sofa Valley-no Indians have been seen in that
neighborhood, nor have any whites been killed
Every thing published in the city and Territorial
papers is false. Not an Indian can be SO en- with
in 100 miles of Mankato. Having come directly
from the scene of action, he gives the informa-
tion as "reliable."
