Throwing Tun TO THE WHALE" Originated
in the practice Of the sailors Of Greenland and
South Sea whaling ships when surrounded with
a dangerous number of whales, throwing out
tub TO divert their attention; meanwhile every
sail is hoisted and the vessel pnrsues its course.
This is one Of the illustrations of Swift's Taie Of
Tub. In argument, to give an adversary pre-
tended advantage, to mislead him, is to throw u
tub to the whale"
In matrimonial fishing, pettng the pug-noscd
offspring Of rich widow may, also be 80 con

DINING OUr.-We met an Indian on Trinity
river, travelling by himself and carrying huge
pine bur- which he had provided for dinner. He
stopped on a big, fiat rock, and prepared to dine
and having beaten the seeds from the bur with
small stone, he ate them with manifestations of
extreme good appetite. Having dincd the ras-
cal had the andacity to pick his teeth with the
apparent self satisfaction of an Astor House
boarder and started on his journey with nothing
on hut a shirt Of very indecorous brevity. We
thought he afforded a very striking Illustration
of true American independence.

however sent to camp and it was designed to
take them prisoners, to be sent TO the Rcscrva-

PRAIRIE FLOWERS.

A feeling of disappointment is frequently felt
by those who, having heard of the glory of the
prairie flowers, first seek them in their native
wilds. But the flowers are there, nevertheless,
fresh, glorious and beautiful. OF course they,
do not grow in rows, or beds, or on the margins
Of geographical path ways. Nor do they pay
much attention to the laws of taste for many a
noble and glorious beauty is found in the midst
of homely and uncouth plebeians. Still, there is
a race of flowers upon our wild prairies which
would put to shame the brightest denizens of a
royal garden. But you must follow them to their
favorite haunts, if you would find them. Away
from the range of una2preciating eyes, and from
the grazing herds cut in the broad expanse, nes-
tied in the tall grass; in the tangled hedge. by
the running slough" down among the IAN,
hills" or up among the gopher hills" any
spot and every spot, which has anything to dis
~tinguish it from some other spot-thcre you will
find the flowers. Each has its HABIrANT-jus
as forest flowers, some prefer the hills and
some the valleys.
But no forest flowers in all this western land
can equal the rich and rars beauty of the prai
ries. Nature seems to have got up the prairie
flowers upon a different type from all others
Forms of beauty you never dreamed of are al
around. Before these, the strange and gorgeou
a%rtiicials of French inventive genius sink t.
insigniicance. No thought but Gods coult
compass them. And without the aid of til
artists pencil, all attempt at description woul
be vain. But their habits are wild as thei
own prairie homes; and though you may plucI
q banquet which will fill your house with beaut
for weeks without decay, yet it is almost imposs
BILE, by any attention, to preserve the transplante
root from death. They will generally die, eve
though the prairies sod itself be removed undit
turbed with the flower. A more promising mod
than transplanting. is to secure the seeds as the
ripen in the season, but owing to the prairie fire.
and other obvious causes, this is no easy matter,
Alas! for tie prairie flowers a few more yea,
and the plough-share will have banished them frol
the face of the earth.-Minois Baptist.
