There is no malady of deeper importance,
either in medical moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
As medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt frail
all are liable to misfortune.
OF all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it,
frightful as are its ravages upon his consttu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave it becomes of still greater inn
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
it becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once, by consult
ing some physician, whose respectability and
education enables him to warrant a safe, speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DR.. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tlce, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination
OF venereal, and having paid more attention to
that branch than any other physician in the
United States, he feels himself better qualified
to treat them

Po1NTLEss SERMoNs.-In one of his discourses
John Newton has this pithy remark; GO Many
sermons, ingenious in their kind, may be COM
pared to letter nut in the post-ofice without a
direction. 1t is addressed to nobody, it is own
ed by nobody, and if hundred people were tc
read it, not one of them would think himsel
concerned in the contents. Such a sermon
whatever cxcellencies it may have, lacks the
chief requisite of a sermon. 1t is like sworC
which has polished blade, a jeweled hilt, ant
gorgeous scabbard, but yet will not cut, and
therefore, to all real use, is no sword Th,
truth properly presented, has an edge, it pier
ces to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit
it is discerner of the thoughts and intents 0
the heart"

"Be what will thou art my prisoner.''
-Shatspeare.
The Oneidas had counted many moons in
peace with the Mohawks, while a successful
war was raging with the Algonquins, and the
Mohawks were growing powerful; but now
they sought cause for war with the Onedas-
to put out their council fires and possess them
selves of the great waters on their Northern
and Western border. And during each season
of hunting, no opportunity to invade and mo-
lest the hunting grounds Of the Oneidas and
Cayugas was allowed to pass unimproved.-
Their traps were robbed, and game driven out
or killed, to compel them to make war to pun
ish such intrusions. When Mowegan learned
of the presence of Nagowa at the Mohawk vii
lagc, during his absence, his policy was no
longer for insult, but revenge. The Oneidas
were well aware of this feeling of jealousy
naturally awakened, and when Nagowa set out
on his excursion to bring the Mohawk Dove to
his lodge, he was not without aid, and there
was much secret exultation that an opportuni-
ty was offered to return the agravations of the
Mohawks. They might now open the warfare
without waiting for further cause.
Happiness reigned in the wigwam of the
old Chief Amik, and he counseled his daughter
Of her determination, and babe her remember
the old man while in her new home.
" The Cayuga land was ours in moons gone
by, and Amik was happy. Now the Wolf Of
the Mohowks never ceases his prowling, and the
heart of Amik had grown sad to think that
soon in his journey to the beautiful hunting
grounds, he must leave his Dove to the lair o.
the Wolf; but the young Chief of the Oneida.
is u brave warrior, and his fame has spread fal
away; he will protect the Dove of the old
man.
Laogan, the brother Of Mameah, had PROVED
himself mighty in battle, and was a great ia
vorite in the chase, but now that Mowegan de
clared war upon the Onedas, and continue,
his dopredations without cause, his heart grew
sad for the bloody scenes which would ensu
and deyastate his fathers wigwam, and brin,
hunger to the old mans lodge He beheld tn
preparations for Mameah's departure, and re
solved to defend her from the hand of Mowegal
at whatever sacrifice.
One moon waned, and the flower mont

went forth to pluck the fairest flowers to chee

came.

thousand horse power. A single horse power is
equal to raising thrty-two thousand pounds one

eighty-four million pounds raised one foot high
in one minute. This is equal to the power of
twelve of our largest steamers, having twenty
four engines of five hundred horse power each.

of the hawk could not overtake her until she
reaches the lodge of the brave Oneidas. Let
Mowegan follow the Eagle, and the power of
his nation shall wane, and the teeth of Mowegan
eat the dust of the pest places of his enemies. :"
"Mowegan never goes backward"
Mowegan returned to his nation to enlist a
war party for plumber and stratagem at the vii
lage of the Oneidas
The feast he had ordered for the entertain
ment of the Bad Spirit was made the occasion
for assembling his people, and after it was over
he commenced his war song.
"The blood of our kindred the honor Of
our nation; the faith of Mowegan, calls for the
scalp Of Nagowa, the Chief of the Oneidas, and
the return. of the Dove Of The NIohawks.''
One by one gathered around their Chief, re-
hearslng their deeds of prowess, the battles they
had fought and the scalps they had taken, un-
til sufficient party was formed to proceed to
the Oneida village.
They took the direc*on of the land of their
enemies across the big hills. Five suns passed
over the cautious tread of the party, when just
atnight-Ell, aspy returned informing them that
great feast was prepared, and a great ceremony
was about to be performed. Mowegan rightly
conjectured that it was the marriage of Nagowa
and the Dove who had flown from his en-
brace
AT the reception of this intelligence, Mowegan
held council of his warriors to decide theil
course.
" Brave WARRIORS said he, d" shall an Oneida
Dog carry off the brightest light of the Mohawk
lodge and not meet their arrows? My war
rlors are very brave, they can count the scalpl
of many enemies. The one that brings me tht
scalp of Nagowa shall have Mowegan's daugh
ter, Pakota, to light his LODGE
Mowegan's words are heard" replied on,
of the party " the Oneidas are swift of foot
and number many warriors, but Mameah shal
be returned to our Chief, and the scalp o
Nagowa be hung upon the outer pickets of hii
wigwam."
"Oncida Dogs never sleep; but Nagow,
shall never wear the eagle feathers again.
As their evening feast was finished, and tn
council concluded, one of the warriors proceed
ed, according to his instructions, to approach
the Oneida village upon the opposite side iron
what the attack was to be made, and give til
war whoop to draw off the attention of thos
assembling at the feast and which should b
the signal for two others, who had approache
to a worry near vicinity of the village unde
cover of darkness, and the unsuspecting guar
attendant upon the celebration of the mai

was heard would steal into the village an
seize Mameah while fastening from the seen
of the supposed attack The warrior giving tn
signal, was to withdraw and lead out the One
das in the pursuit, until those in ambush shoul
discover and take Nagowa, if possible.
soon as the capture of Mameah had been effec
ed, they were to proceed with her to the lax
and entering a canoe, proceed with all possibl
haste to the village of the Cayugas, where sh
would be safe until the termination of the ski
mishes between the Oneidas and Mohawks.

SHAKoPEE, Friday morning Nav .,


Since writing the above have passed " good
night in rest, and rose early this morning and
made short visit to the camping ground of the
Sioux, which is located about half or three
quarters of q mile from this place, out on the
open prairie. The first thing which attracted
my attention, on near approach, was four
scalps of the Chippewas which were dangling
from pole erected just at the entrance to their
ground-thc gore still dripping from the mat
ted hair
Ladies went out, some on horseback, some in
carriages, and Others on foot, and the hills on
the opposite side from the battle ground were
lined during the morning with long array of
every description of vehicles, in which stood
many fair form silent spectators of the scene
| will gather up the details from personal ex-
animation of the grounds and visit to the
camp of the Sioux, and give further particulars

These scalps seem to constitute the entire skin
of the head, including the ears, and presented
an appearance at once siekening and horrible.
The Sioux had made full preparation for a
night attack, expecting the Chippewas would

wholesome advice-"Doh't be in a hur-

It's no sort of use. We never knew
a chap who was always in a hurry that
wasn't behindhand. They are proverb-
ial, all the world over, for bringing
nothing at all to pass. Hurry -skurry
bluster, splutter y what does it all
amount tof Not straw worth.
If you want to accomplish anything
as it should be done, you must go about
it coolly, moderately, faithfully. Hur
rying, fretting, fumbling, spluttering,
will do no good-not in the least
Are great works of great mon done
in a hurry? Not at all. They are the
product of time and raticnce-the re-
suit of slow, solid development. Moth
ing ought to be done in hurry. 1t is
contrary to nature; right, justice and
common sense. Your man of hurry is
no sort of character at all. Always in
confusion, loose at every point, unhing-
ed and unjointed, blowing putting here
and there. but all ending in smoke"
