AN INDIAN WEDDlNG-The Nebraska City
News of the 9rd.. inst, contains long account
of the marriage of Pawnee chief to blood
rova souaw of the Otoe tribe. The bridegroom

der a checked apron, a summer kilt buffalo robe
and q white felt hat. Her jewels were magn
fcent. From either auricuar depended bright
ornaments of brass, tin and copper.
We must not omit To mention that Miss Wah-
,nusb. e.shnga also wore a 'red petticoal," EN-
brodered according to a design OF her own,
with porcupine quils, representing desperate
dog 6ght Her entire wardrobe and jeweiry
c,nld not have cost less than six thousand dol
lars in Fontenelle money. The bridegroom was
attired in all the magniicence which his rank
and wealth demanded. He wore standing shirt
cnllar q medal of President Pierce, blue straight
cnllared soldier coat, with brass buttons and an
elegant pair of Spanish spurs, while his stalwart
loins were admirably clothed in an ancient COT

high sphere in lie.

THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS. The Philadelphia

The REVIVAL OF BUSINESS. ss.-The Philadelphia
Ledger notes the fact that the newspapers furn-
sh the best evidence that business has revived.
A month ago the columns of the principal busi-
ness newspapers in Philadelphia, Baltimore, N.
York and Boston were filed with news para
graphs, editorial comments correspondence and
selections Now they are almost
entirely filled with advertisements; news and
correspondence are condensed TO the smallest
space, and business excludes labored editorial
essays to a more propitious season. These are
good signs for the public. 9.

trated in his lose. 1t is good sign to see an

NOVEL WAY TO SETTLE SUTT.-Several days
since a case involving the possession OF goose
was tried before Justice Showacre. One Geo.
Bockhultz brought suit against Lydia Spencer
for the recovery of the feathered biped. Some
fourteen witnesses were examined, and from
the evidence adduced, both the complainant and
defendant were proven to be, undoubtedly, the
righttul owner of the goUse. Both had their
"reminiscences of its youth. One cured it of the
gapes, when gosling, and the other saved Its
Joints from the carving knife on Christmas
The magistrate deliberated long, and was as
sorely puzzled how to decide the case as Solo
mon of old was when the two women appeared
before him with the child each claiming TO be
its mother. He at last hit upon plan, which.
if not as wise as Solomon's, proved as eitectual.
He decided that the goose should he taken I"

cisiop, and sworn to show no partiallty, Sat

the parties appeared upon the ground, with sew
eral hundred others, attracted by the novelty OF
the case The goose was produced and placed
upon the ground, but instead Of running in the
direction its affection would prompt it, squatted
close to the ground and refused to stir. The
complainant approached to caress, but the goose
would not notice him but upon rhe defendant
coming up the goose stretched out its long neck
and kissed her-it is said. At this token OF
recognition the defendant was loudly proclaim
ed the owner, and the goose was borne of the
ground Baltimore Sun.

POETR Y.
To a Dying Infant.
Sleep, little baby sleep!
Not on thy cradle bed,
Not on thy mothers breast
Henceforth shall be thy rest,
But with the quiet dead.
Yes, with the quiet dead,
Baby, thy rest shall be,
Oh many weary heart,
Weary of life's dull part,
Would fain lie down with thee.
Flee, little tender nursing
Flee to thy grassy nest;
There the first flowers shall blow,
The first pure fakes of snow
Shall fall upon thy breast.
Peace! peace the little bosom
I.abors with shortning breath,
Peace! peace that trembling sigh
Speaks his departure nigh,
These are the damps of death.
I've seen thee in thy beauty
A thing oil life and glee;
But never then vert thou
So beautiful, as now
Baby, thou seem'st to me.
Thine upturned eye glazed over,
Like harebells wet with dew,
Already yelled and hid,
By the convulsed lid,
Their pupils darkly blue.
The little mouth half open,
The soft lip quivering
AS if Qike summer air
Ruffling the rose leaves) there
Thy soul was futterng.
Mount up, immortal essence!
Young spirit! haste! depart
And is this death Dread thing
If such thy visiting
How beautiful thou art
Oh! could gaze forever
Upon that waxen face,
So passionless! so pure!
The little shrine was sure
An angels dwelling place!
Thou weepest childless mother
Aye, weep, twill ease thine heart.
He was thy first born on,
Thy first! thine only one,
IT'S hard from hi to part
IT'S hard to lay thy darli ng
Deep in the damp, cold earth
His empty crib to see,
His silent nursery
Once gladstone with his mirth.
To meet again in slumber
His small mouths rosy kiss,
Then, wakened with start
By thine own throbbing heart,
His twining arms to miss
To feel (half conscious WHY
A dull heart-sinkipg weight,
Till memory on thy soul
Flashes the painful whole
That thou art desolate
And then to lie and weep
And think the livelong night,
Feeding thine own distress
With accurate greediness)
OF every past delight;
Of all his winning ways,
His pretty playful smiles,
His JOY at sight of thee.
His tricks. his mimicry,
And all his little wies
Oh! these are recollectons
Round mothers hearts that C ling,
That mingle with the tears
And smiles of after years,
With oft awakening.
But thou wilt then, fond mother,
In after years look back,
Time brings such wondrous easing)
With sadness not unpleasing,
Fen on this gloomy track.
Thoult say, "my pride my BILE ssing

When thou vert forced to go,
And yet for thee, know

He won the victory,
And thou art sancti fed

To thy departure then.

Now, (like dew drop shrintd

Thou'rt safe in heaven, my dove!
Safe with the source of Love,

From flesh that sets me free,
Thy spirit may await,
