recently been ON visit to the Otocs, have
returned. The Oloes presented them with
some sixty horses and other gifts. The
Southern SaCs are now on II visit to the
lowns, to have Il grand pow-wow and
smoke. In all probability, the lowas will
present them with all the horses they re-.
celved from the Otoes. When the Sacs
return home, they will no doubt be visited
10y some other tribe who will get the hor-
ses from them--perhapS the Otoes, who
will get their horses bnct. Such are the
ways Of the Indians. The pow.wow aud
smoke between the SdCs and lowas, is to
continue several days.
There have been an unusual number Of
Indians in town, for few days past, We

POETRY Y.
Youth is Gone.

walked once more In the meadows,
Where my feet in childhood strayed;
sit again in the shadows,
Where my youths companions played
The trees in accustomed places,
Like familiar forms appear,
But the once familiar faces
Are not hcre-they are not here.
The brook glides through the grasses,
Where it ran long years before,
And the song II sings as II passes, .
Is the song it murmured of yore
From the willow that is nearest,
Sings a we'll remembered bird; .....
Bat the voices that are dearest,
Are not heard--thcy are not heard.
The inspiring morn is glowing,
With the light of early days, ... ,
And her robes beauty are flowing,
Along all her 0owery ways;
But alas for all the sweet lcs,
All the beauty OF the dawn!
For, with more than fairy Aeetuess,
Youth is gone--ah, youth is gonei ..

SOME DoG.-A gentleman left llolyoke
on Friday afternoon for this city, in bug
gy, taking fuvorte dog with him. As
they progressed toward Williamsett, the
gentleman amused himself by plaguing
the dog, I'LL he had got the animal in n
complete worry. Presently the gentle
mans hat blew of, and he went back af-
ter it, leaving his horse and buggy stand
ing in the road; then the dog took ndvan-
tage Of his masters absence to Jump into
the buggy and start the animal, who trdt-
ted galy toward the river followed by tho
gentleman, yelling whoa to no purpose.
His faithful dog now took position upon
the seat, where he could keep all eye OH
the master and another on the steed, to
see fair play in the race They approach
ed the Connecticut river, into which tho
woggish brute drove, and, keeping his
seat, iloatcd out behind the horse, who
swan, after getting beyond his depth
They were seen, At this juncture, by per-
sons on the south shore, who put of in n
boat aud got them safely TO land--the dog
IN high glee at his successful experiment

owner, who will no doubt leave that dog
behind the next time he goes to ride. The

Climbing Vesuyius at Might.


He who climbs Vesuvius at night, stun.
bling over the heaps Of cinder, bruislng
his shins, and soaring his hands agains,
the ragged edges, would demand some
higher compensation than TO look on the
dark side of crator-cone. He will
rarely find it, however, unless he wait ill
dawn, or the night be bright and starry.
We did. Scarcely had we set down TO
rest at the foot of the. small cone, when we
observed a great excitement amongst our
guides, who, by violent geSticulaton and
voclfcration indicated that they observed
something unusual in the aspect of the
mountain, and vehemently urged a rapid
descent. The very idea, however, of be-
holding even "a partial eruption, at such a
time and place, fixed us TO the spot. Twas
a fit night for such scene. The air was
heavy and ulphurous; the sky dark and
murly, not a star shone forth in it, and
the moonlight fell with faint twilight
gleam on the waters of the bay. There
were soon signs and portents of move.
ment within Heavngs and loud rum
bling were heard, as though thunder
cloud were pent in the bosom of the NOUN
tam. The lava stream grew live and tur-
bid. The little wreaths, which hang over
round the edges Of the crater, grew and
gathered into one huge mass, winch roared
and tossed as it rose aud rolled swiftly on,
like the brealhings of a spirit of evil
spreading darkness and gloom around
Fiery swords of flame flashed through and
through the smoke cloud, slreaking but not
Lighting it aud these again were soon alb.
sorbed IN one large fire, which rushed,
strong and fierce from the craler's mouth,
raging in wild bursts and wralhful gusts,
Coursing after the smoke, and making the
heavens lurid with that strange, fearful
glare which the soul associates with fire
and COON. The roar within deepcned,
and the fire grew fiercer every r,oment,
the smoke blacker and thicker; ant then
there was sound as Of mighty wind
the sweeping of tornado, and forth from
the mountains depths there surged floods
Of fame and storms of fiery balls, which
shot meleor.like into the air, and then fell
and rolled around us with all the force of
red-hot shot, Ever and anon there would
be "A lull, smouldering; and then again
the volcano would send up its eruptions of
FIRE and smoke and ashes. Atnid the
grand and terrible features of the scene
was one which had much of beauty in its
effect. Ever a. the mountain worked, the
lava-stream sweled and glowed, rushing
from its outlet, aud running in burning
rills down the mountain side. 1t has often
been described as snaLe-like, No word
images it so truly. Its glowing colors
have the same brilliant beauty which at.
tracts and repels, its motion is so gliding,
and yet so swift; and there is serpant
fascination in ii, too, which riyets the gaze,
though the eyeballs grow hot, and the brain
burns from contact with the molten hues.
