IOWA HURSDAY

my capital said the woocr, "is
three thousand dollars, and l want a
thousand more, and | must have it,"
II will give you a thousand with
the eldest girl"
"No; the charming Nelly and the
thousand, or I am off,"
| "That cannot be five hundred with
Nelly, if you like. The others are not
half so handsome, and must have a
fortune, or l shall never get them
off"
"No; my resolution is fixed,' said
the youth, "and l shall not alter it."
"Nor mine," said the parson," and
the affair is at an end but we will
be good friends, Notwithstanding"
The conversation, which each speak
er supposed to be strictly private, now
fell into another channel. The ladies
returned with the tea-urn, and chatted
unreservedly with the farmer. Even
ing came on. and toward sunset, the
girls having strolled into the garden,
the youth rose to take his leave. He
found his nag in the stable, and hav-
ing bade farewell to his host, took his
way through the shrubbery that led
into the road. He was about alight-
ing to open the gate, when the rosy
faced Nelly darted forward to save
him the trouble. AS she lifted the
latch, she looked archly up into his
face, and said: Cant you take my
fathers money!"
Yes, by Jove, will, if you wish
it,
"Then come over to church to-mor.
row and tell him SO after service >"
and the speaker vanished, like an cl-
fin sprite, among the greenery.
Musing on the proverb which says,
"walls have ears" the young farmer
rode slowly home. He did not fail
how could he of attending at the
church next morning, and, after the
sermon, declared to the parson his al.
tered resolution. He married the fair
Nelly three months aftcrward and
she brought him in due course of years
a goodly row of sons, than whom there
are few in the present hour wiser in
generation, or more worthy, or more
wealthy, in the whole land.

Speech Of Waubeka.

A celebrated Indian Chief, delivered
in Council, in the year 1880 to the U.
s. Commissioners, on the Bluffs above
the waters of Lake Michigan, where
the village of Port Washington now
stands, the following speech:
"Thc white man comes again to
claim our hunting grounds. Ear away
to sunrise once was the chief OF a
great nation fearless and free we
roamed through the forest. The earth,
the noble rivers and the chase sup
piled all our wants. We were con-
tented and happy. but a boat came
over the great water and landed the
pale face beside our cabin. He was
worn and detected by the cruelty and
oppression Of his brothers beyond the
great waters, he came to our land to
escape their wrongs, he told us his
story. The red mans heart was
moved with pity, we received him as
a brother, we gave him meat, he glad.
ly received our gifts and promised
to be our friend. The white man be.
came powerful, he forgot his promise.
and he forgot the friendship Of the red
man. He would be our master, but
the Indian would not be his slave
our braves resisted the wrong, but
by superior numbers he drove US
from our cabin, our hunting grounds
and the graves of our fathers. W.
iourncyed westward, but the white
man followed in our trail, our wal
riors fell in battle, our women AM
children perished in the wilderness
the white man builds his cabin In tn
place where our braves once assemble
| in council, and l, once the chief of
great nation, now solitary and alone
cannot even visit the graves OF M
fathers to pour forth my sorrow 10
the wrongs of my people. The whit
man is powerful, he has our huntln
grounds, his plow has leveled our pat
and the place where the bones OF OF
! fathers are laid his hatchet has CT
!, down our forest, now he bids us
: further west. He would gladly blt
us from memory, but his great roae
follow the red mans trail, his citie
! mountains and rivers bear our name
, and when the great spirit calls me
: the hunting grounds of my father
those names will teach his childre
e that the red man was here before hlI
Y and they will tell to the world that Il
Indian has been wronged."

as the best remedy ever yet discovered for every
variety of Pulmonary disease. So wide is the
field OF its usefulness and SO numerous the cases
of its cures. that almost every section Of the
country abounds in persons publicly known,
who have been restored from alarming and even
desperate diseases Of the lungs by its use
When once tried its superiority over every
other medicine Of It's kind is too apparent to es-
cane observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what an
tidote to employ for the distressing and dan
gerous affections of the pulmonary organs
which are incident to our climate. BY Its
timely use many, nay almost all attacks Of
disease upon the Lungs or throat, are arrested
and thus are saved many thousands every yeal

We gather them in-thc bright green leaves,
With our scythes and rakcs to-day,
And the NOV grows big as the rftcher hcavcs
His LII in the swet'ring. hay.
Oh, no q field for the mowers scythe,
Hath ring as destiny,
Sweeping the earth cf it, burthen 1.-the,
As 1t sung in wrathful glee.
We gather them in-the nodiing plumes
Ot the yellow and bearded gram,
And the fash OF our sickcs' light igmes
Our march DER the vanquished plain.
Anon, We come with the steed-drawn car
The cunning Of modern laws,
And acres stoop 10 its cianking jar,
As it rocks its hungry jaws.
We gather them in--,he mellow fruits
From the shrub the vine aad tree,
With their russet and golden and purple suits
10 garniSh our treasury.
And each has JUICY treasure stored,
All aneath Its tainted rind,
To cheer our guests at the social board,
When we leave our cares behind
We gather them in--in this goodly store,
But not with the mscrs gust,
For this Great Ali Father We adore,
Hath but given it in trust
And our work Of death Is but for life,
In the wintry days to come
Then blessing upon the reaper's strife,
And shout at this Harvest Home.

Mr. Stewart is now in Paris, and few days
ago the Emperor, learning his presence here

WELL SAID.-Mr. Dallas (savs the Washing

men at large for the strai ightforward way in
which he rebuked the prevailing tendency, in
some quarters Of the Union to toady England
in the matter Of protesting that our people
are altogether of and from her AS the phrase
goes, We are all "AngIo -Saxons"-whch is by
no means the truth. The occasion which
Mr.. Dallas picked the pubble to which we re-
fer, was in his speech delivered not long since
at Boston. England, rs the festival in honor of
the memory Of the Rev. John Cotton. when
and where he spoke as follows:
fThere are topics, confess. l should like
to touch on, but the advanced hour of tbe eve
ming forbids me. There is one, however,
must beg of you TO excuse me for introducing.
heard the distinguished gentleman on the
opposite side make mention of what is called
the Anglo-Saxon race. Well, that no doubt is
n very distinguished race.-It is entitled to
high praise, for it has accomplished wonders
But do not think that the United States of
America. as they now exist. can be considered
as confined to the Anglo-Saxon race. It is a
matter of far truth to say to you there is a
very large proportion of the citizens of the
United States who are Celts. not Anglo Saxons-
stand that their fellow-countrymen constitute
a very large proportion of what may be term
ed the character Of the United States Of Amer
ica.-Nay, to 90 a little further-one Of our
States are almost exclusively Spanish anoth-
er of our States is almost exclusively French
and the very State to which am proud to be-
long, State which is called the Keystone
State. has so many Of its population of the Ger
man dialect, that we are actually obliged to
publish our laws in that language to accom-
modate them. Now, all those races blended
together, constitute the national character Of
the United States of America. That country,
therefore, is not exclusively Anglo Saxon. I'm.
donbtedly some of its most distinguished
sources of origin are Anglo Saxon. but as now
orgnnized-as it is now fixed-hnaer its pres
ent constitution and present population, it is
government and a country composed of all
people and races. and not confined exclusive
ly to the Anglo Saxon.
