A woman's Growing Old.

IL women could only believe it, there is a won
derful beauty even in growing old The charm OF
expression arising from softened temper or ripencd
intellect often amply atones for the loss OF form

could boast either OF these latter, years gives
much more than they take aw y, A sensitive per-
son often requires half lifetime to get thorough
ly used to this corporeal machine, 10 attain u
wholesome indifference both 10 its defects and per-

acquire from any teacher but experience that II is

Starved ROck---Thc Indian Legend

A few weeks since we visited Starved Rock.
located abodt seven miles from Peru, near the
loot of the rapids Of the illinois river. This
rock may justly be regarded Us quite natural
curiosity, aud is also deserving of peculiar in.
teresl from the thrilling incidents connected
with it, These incidents form an interesting
episode in aboriginal history.
Starved Rock is composed Of large mass o.
sandstone, rising from the waters edge to per
pendicular hight of nearly TWO hun,lrad Ieet.-
1t Is inaccessible from the p lint frontlug on Que
side. This appro ,ch is ragged anl narrow aud
could b, obsruclel with little labor.
The diam ter OF the surface Of the rock is
prob ihly QUE hund,el feet. It.is covered with
soil several feet in d'pth ia many places and
which has given growth to many small trees aud
vines.
The tradition connected with the rock is to
the effect that about the time OF the death of
Pontiac, the great chief, band of Illinois Indi-
ans were engaged in deadly strife with the
Pottawatamirs, who in great battle succeeded
in routing them. The discomfite band, in the II
flight, took refuge upon this desoate rock and
som made their positions impregnable to their
enemies. They repused all the assaults made
upon them, and would have remained masters
Of their rocky tower, but for The impossibiity
Of obt1ining wafer.
They had secured abundance Of provisions,
letting down vess, Is with bark ropes to the river
Their willy enemies perceived this, and managed
to come with canoes close under the rock, cut
the ropes as fast as they were let down, aud thus
deprived them Of water altogether. Time rolled
ou-rhe brave Indians could gaz4 for miles up
and down the sivery stream that threaded the
plain, and its waves dashed upon the base OF
their impregnablr fortifcation. and :it was i'm
possibl for them to obtain single drop To
quench their burning thirst. The result was
able--their doom was sealed. They all
died and the mighty rock became their tomb
as we'll as monument. For many years after
waris their bones lay bleaching in the sun, a sa,
relic of departed race. Many curiosties in
;he shape of darts and antique pieces Of pottery
have be picked up BY visitors, who repair &c
the spot in great numbers.
Starved Rock, the mighty monument reare
by the hand of the great Architect of Nature
will remain while tn prarie flower blooms. OF
! the Illinois rolls crystal wave, to prrp-tust te
the memory Of his heroic band, who 50 nobly
died upon the gray AMI shaggy summit.
Standing upon the summit of this Indian
mausolclm mn, you can gaze for miles around upon
the most BEAUTIFUL and enchanting scene. rhr
prairie 81 iretches out in front of YOU, aud roll.
away to the distant horizon like mighty sea
while to the south the broken cliffs rear lhei
heads. as if to break the monotony of the pano
ramic view. The scene is gorgeous, magnificent

sum have lands, houses, ships, gold, merchan.
dise--do really possess them ?-that is, in this
sense OF enjoyment Do they not, in fact weigh
heavier upon my spirit with each new accumula-
ton, making possession but mockeryY
From ships and merchandise, houses aud lands,
the thought of Algernon turned to the widow and
her children, relieved from suffering under the sud
den activity OF an impulsive benevolence.
Instantly glow Of pleasure warmed his heart,
and thrill Of delight went trembling to tho very
ceurrs of his being. Thirty dollars had this good
deed cost him in money aud, already, he was in
the possession OF higher enjoyments thereIrom
than all his days large accumulations had given.
This possess ho said with rising enthu-
siasm. This have for all time, and for oil cter-
nifty, source of perennial pleasure. Moth cannot
corrupt it, fire cannot burn it. thieves cannot
break through and steal it away. | can lay me
down in the grave. and yet not lose my hold upon
it. Is not this possession in its sublimeSt sense !!
Then the thoughts Of Algcrnon went back upon
his life, turning the pages of memory, and search
ing Tor the good deeds he had done. They were
few and fur between" but around each was a
halo that iumed the whole page. Side by side
with the good deeds, were recorded the gains oil
the merchant but always some other memory
shadowed there records OF gain, and robbed them
oil blessing.
These--these," said the merchant, as hi,
thoughts returned TO the present, "are my only
real possessions. And yet how few they are--how
poor am Algernon, the rich merchant, has
made small accumulaiions, indeed But thanks
to the moralist. he has found the way that leads
TO another Ell Dorado"
