Beautiful Legend.

~ Z. Willis writes from Idlewild :-nWher
Copway, our Ojibbeway friend was here, day
or two ago, he told the children an Indian lie.
gend of the water-llly, how it came to earth
heavenly flower that it is. One of our fail
nelghbors, who happened to be listener, thus
rendered the beautiful story into verse:
star looked down from its glowing throne
In the azure vaulted sky,
And said "I am weary here all alone.
Doing nought but throb and sigh.
Far down in the valleys of earth | see
The red mems children at play;
The innocent sound of their careless glee
Rises faint on the air all day."
II will speak to the brave at their council fire.
And ask them to let me dwell
Where earthly love may warm my heart
With human, holy spell"
So they told the star she might at night come
When the wood and wigwam were still
And sit on the mountain and throw her light.
Through the vale and along the hill.
She came trembling, but when the morn
Woke the birds and the children again
The star sat grieving and all forlorn,
For she knew that her hope was vain.
Not near enough yet can hear and see
The red mans children at play,
But they waste neither wish nor thought on me
From the morn till the close of day."
Then they bade her alight on the tree top old,
They lulled them asleep with its song
And she rocked and walled, shiver'd with cold,
Impatient the whole night long.
AT length the children awoke once more,
And they heard the pine-tree sigh,
But took no heed of the watching star.
Between them and the sky.
She saw them skimming in a light canoe,
Ger the lovely lake below,
But the longing, that hourly tenderer grew
How could she make them know.
She pondered another night away,
And at length when the morning broke,
She dropp'd from her height with a fearful
plunge
And sank in the silver lake.
The star was shivered! But every ray
Was caught by faithful wavel
Each scintallant beam grew a snow-fower,
Where she thought to find gravel
And when the red maiden, in her light canoe,
Seeks lilies for bosom and brow,
The star is content, for she softly says
"I haze conquered. They lope me now!t"

TERRIBLE INvEcTIvE UPON A TRAITc

TERRIBLE INvECTIvE UPON A TRAITOR
The following acrostic upon Benedict
Arnold, the traitor, is said to have been
composed, of-hand, by Oliver Arnold, a
cousin of Benedict, on being solicited by
dinner party of Englishmen to make an
exhibition of his talent for their amuse-
ment. The acrostic may be found in
the history of Norwhich, Connecticut:
Born for curse to virtue and mankind,
Earth's broadeSt realm ne'er knew so black a
mind,
Nights sable veil your crimes can never hide,
Each one SO great 'twould glut historic tide.
Defunct your cursed memory will live,
In all the glare that infamy can give,
Curses of ages will attend your name.
Traitors alone will glory in your shame,
Almighty vengeance sternly waits to roll,
Rivers of sulphur upon your guilty soul;
Nature looks shuddering back with conscious
dread
On such tarnished blot as she has made,
Let He'll receive you, rivited in chains,
Doomed to the hottest focus of its flames.

FATHER oFTHE SENATE.-The Nation
al .InteVigencer mentions that Mr.. Crit
tenden, of Kentucky, is now the father
of the Senate" having entered that dis
tinguished body on the fourth of March,

CoLD.-For every mile that we leave
the surface of the earth the temperature
falls five degrees. At forty-fye miles dis
tance from the globe we yet behold the
atmosphere and enter, strictly speaking, into
the regions Of space, whose temperature is
225 degrees belowzero; and here cold reigns
in allits power. Some idea of this intense
cold may be formed by stating that the
greatest cold observed in the arctic circle
is from 40 to 60 degrees below zero and
here many surprising facts are produced.
In the chemical laboratory, the greatest
cold that we can produce is about l5O de-
grees below zero. At this temperature
carbonic gas becomes a solid substance
like snow. If touched it produces just
the same effect on the skin as a red-hot
cinder; it blisters the finger like burn.
Quicksilver or mercury freezes 40 degrees
below zero; that is, II degrees below the
temperature at which water freezes. This
solid mercury may then be treated as other
metals, hammered into sheets or made into
spoons; such spoons would. however, melt In
water as cold as ice It is pretty certain
that every liquid and gas we are acquainted
with would become solid if exposed tothe
cold of the regions of space. The gas we
light our streets with would become wax ;
oil would be in reality as hard as rock ;
pure spirit, which we have never yet solid
fled, would appear like block of trans
parent crystal; hydrogen gas would be-
come quite solid, and resemble metal we
should be able to turn butter in lathe
like piece of ivory; and the fragrant
odor of the flowers would have to be hot
before they would yield perfume. These
are few of the astonishing effects of cold.
