A SINGULAR LAKE.-There is a lake COW
ering nineteen hundred acres in Wright
county, Iowa, about one hundred and fifty
miles west of dubuque, which is surrounded
by a regular stone wall, FIVE feet wide at the
top and in some places, where the water
would be likely to overflow the prairie, ten
feet high. As the pioneers found the wall
there, the question arises, who built it gu
Another remarkable fact is that the lake has
no visible feeder or outlet.

THE INDEPENDENT.

The AR1sToCRAcy OF MoNEY.-With all
our boosted democracy, monev exercises a
moro undue influence in the United States,
than any other country on the globe. From
infancy We are taught to belive It the source
OF every earthly good. The excessive hon.
age which it exacts, in the parent Of unnum-
bered social political evils-for it too often
everrides talent and virtue and with a man
he broader than charity, it covers every SIN.
When kept by higher and purer influences
within legitimate limits, it is the nurse Of
economy and independence and adds springs
TO industry and enterprise, but let ii once
break over these bounds it then pcrmea,cs
and corrodes the social system.
Few persons understand the true use OF
money, hence its possession is as often a
curse as a blessing. Men will sacrifice health,
happiness and honor to acquire that, which
when acquired, can afford no solid s~atisfac-
tion. II it adds to the rational enjoyment of
hfe-if it enables struggling genius to sur
mount'the stepso of poverty-ifit administers
to the sick, clothes the naked and feeds the
hungry, then, 1t is a blessing, but if it only
increases our pride, extravaganza aud dis
sipat;on, it is then, the greatest Of curses.
Our real wants are few-our imaginary,
are as numberlcss as the sands of the sea
shore. The most wretched creature we ever
saw, was an old miser, surrounded by his bags
of money, coined from the tears OF widows
and orphans-the happiest man we know
is our friend Tom Parish the shoemaker. Tom
owns a wife, ~severel 1axenheaded children
and a fiddle. When not engaged in Mending
his W soul and the soles of his customers,
he tortures out of his fiddle, songs Of love
and war. He says when his thread of life is
clipped by the fatal shears and he is asked
to beg out" that he expects to obey the
SURVIVORS,
mot like the galley slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon
But like one, who wraps around, the dapcry on his
coach.
And lies dow to pleasant Dreams"
Tom is a philosopher and we hope in these
hard times that many Of our readers will pro-
fit by his example. Such men alone, in these
days of broken banks and wrecked fortunes

Sir Colin C%AMpBELL's EscApE.-The Rev.
DIR. Duff, in his last letter from India, men
tions the following remarkable escape Of Sir
Colin Campbell on lis march to the relief of
Lucknow:
Sir Colin'and his staff, unaccompanicd by
any escort, in the neighborhood of the river.
Soon, came suddenly upon two companies of
the mutinied 32d, who had recently killed
their own officers. They were then in the act
Of crossing the trunk road with fourteen ele-
plants, two guns and a small body of sewers
or irregular native cavalry. Sir Collins garry,
Of travelling carriage, was ahead of all the
Others; and although the native coachman
warned him Of his danger, he still pushed on
till an aid-de-camp directed his attention to
the mutineers crossing the road at a distance
Of not more than five hunded yards. At first
the chief would not 60 back, but got on the
top Of his garry with a glass; and only when
he saw some cavalry sent to cut off his re-
treat, did he think it proper to stop. Had
they been a few hundred yards further or, the
whole party must have been cut of to a man,
since, having no escort, the odds opposed to
them was SO tremendous as to render affec-
tual resistance impossible.
As it was, their coming up, with such APP
parent holiness, so very near to the rebels,
evidently soon impressed the latter with the
conviction that Sir Colin and bis party form
ed the advance guard on an avenging column;
and SO, after a little hesitation, they made off
as fast as they could, elephants, guns and all,
while SIR Colin and his staff instantly turn
ed back and retraced their steps for ten
miles, till they up with a bullock-train party
Of soldiers. What a narrow escape! What
providential interpos;tion /! A few minutes
sooner, and the brave Sir Colin, with his
whole staff, would have been ANONYMOUSLY
butchered. What, then, of poor distracted
British India! Who can venture to estimate
the extent of calamity which might result
from the announcement throughout all the
rebel hosts Of the capture of such a prize +!
May we not, then hail a personal escape so
remarkable, as the token Of an overruling
Providence; that he who was thus marvel
eusry delivered himself is destined to be the
Instrument Of signal deliverauce to others,
and the agent, the hand of a gracious God,
for restoring order and tranquility to this
sadly c~onvulsed and sorely scourged land!

Our people, mean the majority, very well sat.

hesitate TO say that they will vote for any conservative
man of any party North who is opposed to the ruling

spoken of as one likely TO be before the Opposition
Convention as a candidate for the Presidency. We
have very few souRder men in the country than he,
