A LEGEND.


ALEGEND.
An old man stood by river:
Weary and old, and grey, =,
And the moonbems pale, though a eiouoy 'e"'
On his matted locks did play,
And mournful wall, did his ear assaii'
As the night breeze blew that way:
On the banks Of that noble river
The weuy old Redman stood;
Behind him the scene-frssrlnt and green
A thousand miles Of wood
WASH by the CLEAN of the cold moonbeam,
Rejecting the Indian rude.
Naught broke the desolation,
Which seemed to triumph there;
Save little cot upon the spot,
With its rough-hewn timbers bare;
Save the little CIT upon that spot,
And the grim savage there.
lie liOodby The moving waters;
Trembling in every limb
His tomah1rk hung, and his rifle swung,
On the branch OF tree near him; ssrr
And the Wild woods ruug, with a hymn he sung
An Indian requiem.

And where the p-ie-face Is not found;
Where in gorgeous array, like garden in Nay,
The rich flowers cluster around.

Till the utterance stung his soul,
As though a knife, with anguish rife.
Had pierced his Iife's-biood goal;
As though the strife would cost his life,
Aud b eak the COLLIE bowl:
He started. He swore for revenge;
For death to the pale-face once more;
Aud with eyes blood red, he clutchd those dread
Those terrible weapons Of gore;
And eage.like sped to the faint light aheSh,
Which gIeam'd through the log cabin door.
Thrice tried he to raise his knife,
On murder and vengeance bent;
And thrice the might, OF his aim took hight,
The strength the Reiman was spent.
And strange dark night, had veil'd his sight,
For death to his bosom was sent.
With yell, and shrek Of despair,
The chiefain-the last Of his race;
Slid away like a spirit, in the pale moonlight,
And plunged in ohio's emhrae;
The water bright, was his shroud that night,
AMI the river his burialplace.

For the seat Of power, in future hour,
His cabin was destined to fill;
And IKEA flower, in an Eastern bower,

Rev. Mr.. Williamson suggests to thenew Gov.
ernor-(who, wetaks it, is not afraid of the sneers
Of our cotemporaries,) )-that band of Indian.
not white men, be employed to go in immediate
pursuit Of those savages who hold in captivity
four white females, former residents at Spirit
Lake. The reason why Indians should be chosen
instead Of white men, appears to US to be good
one, and we trust Gov. Medary will consider MIR.
Williamson's proposition a. worthy of notice.
We are glad to note in this connection, that
timely steps were taken in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday to provide means for rsscuing
the unfortunate women from their bondage Hon.
Joseph r. Brown, who has resided in the Terrific
~ for 30 years and who is familiar with the Indi
an character, introduced two resolutions yester-
day,which were unanimously passes, one of which
requests the Government to send forward imme-
diately United States troops in pursuit of those
Indians who had been numbering our citizens on
the frontier, and the other urging Mr.. Flandrau,
the Indian Agent, to remove all Indians in the
Territory, on to their respective reservations. In
case no action was taken, MIR. Brown gave notice
that he would to-day, or some future time ask
leave to introduce bill to authorize the Gov. of
the Territory to organize volunteer corps to be
despatched in pursuit of the Indians who muir
dered oar citizens on the Southern frontier, If
steps are not promptly taken by the proper au-
thorites to despatch United States troops on that
service, and to appropriate monty to pay the ex-
psnses of the expedition.
Decisive measures like these will tend to inspire
confidence not only in the settlers already here
but those who are to come, and we hope soon to
be able to chronicle the news Of the rescue of
the unfortunate captives.

The Cold and the Comets.

The fact that we-as well as the "old folks''
in the States are having an unprecedented 'cold
snap,' is we presume very evident all round, but
the cause of the severity may not be SO well
known. The following, from the Missouri Re-
publican, explains it, (?) and ''the possible coli-
sion" of the comet with our mother earth on the
eventful 'sl3 of june" shows the sagacity of
our citizens in having determined to have high
old time ut the Rail Road Celebration on the 10th
three days previous to the conaagration:
set is singular that the unprecented cold wealth
er which has prevailed over the whole country du-
ring the present month of April, should not have
attracted the attention of the press and the pub
lie to the probable cause. This is undoubtedly
the presence and rapid approach of the comet now
ysable in the evening sky, whose elements have
been calculated by the most celebrated astrono-
mers of Europe, and which it is predicted by GER
tain highly respectable mathematicians of Ger
many, will come in direct collision with the earth
on the 18th Of june proximo. This opinion has
been made light of by Pierce and other Ameri-
can astronomers, but whether probable or moi
there is no questioning the fact, that the comet
has entered the limits Of the solar system, and il
may be seen by the most casual observer, by no.
ticing its daily increase in size. There can be
little doubt that the extraordinary phenomens
witnessed in the weather during the month is at.
tributable to this cause. Similar changes of the
climate have been observed before, during the
passage Of comets near the earth. The comet ol
1856, is said to have brought with it dense and
unpleasant fog, which lasted for twenty -one days
that of 1926 was accompanied by heavy rainl
and consequent inundations, and every one mus
remember the unusually cold and severe weather
prevalent at the appearance of the brilliant com
ct of March 1S43. The comet now approaching
the earth, is that of Charles ", which first ap
peared in perhehon, in 1864. 1t may be seen il
clear evening near B. Sagittari. and is evident
ly nearing the earth with great rapidity. Its pas
sage across our orDrs. o. ,s pOeslD,s coson
changes. There can be no doubt that its meteor
ological effects are already becoming evident
This comet excited great alarm on its first an
second appearances, was the subject Of much at
| tion among the astronomers of that day.
