THE DYING ExILE.-Upon his couch he lay,
that old. deserted, dying inan, and o'er his fea-
lures worn and wan, stole the last beams of day.
In the far west, like heaps of gold, the evening
clouds in brightness roll'd the lake lay motion
less and calm, the earth was still, the air was
balm, in towering pride the mountains stood, in
sombre shadow slept the wood, each leaf lay
wrapt in soft repose, the dew drops trembled, on
the rose. and ali was lovely fair and grand
the sunset of our western land but in that little
room alone, with none to list to his feeble moan,
the exile family drew bis breath, beneath the hea
w hand of death /; he needed not the earth be-
low, he needed not the skies of fame, but thus in
tones of wall and woe, his dying murmurs came ::
90, God tits hard to die thus from my native
land away, no kindly hand of kindred nigh to
cheer this dropping clay.-Ed,Oard Pollock.

Fuss ABOUT GRAssBoPPER.-In Tuscarora
Valley among the mountains of Pennsylvania
there is an Indian mound full of bones, which,
tradition says, was built after battle about a
grasshopper Two Indian boys of different tribes
we're fishing and quarreled and fought about the
insect designed for bait; the women took up The
quarrel and the men returning from hunt con-
cluded the business by savage battle in which
one party was nearly annblated; the bodies of
the slain lie under the mound The story is that
a white hunter saw the battle from neighboring
hill, and learned the cause of strife from the VIC
tors. There is superstition still existing aoous
the mound. The owner of the field plowed and
dug the warriors dust and scattered it about Tor
manure. Soon after he went to wreck and died
poor. Since then the place of graves has been
left untitled.

THE PEST WoRD.-Frazer river has, to US, be-
come a pest-word we hate to write the syno-
nym of deception and crcdul'ty. We write 1t
with a mixed feeling of anger and pity-anger
that men not deprived of sight should be so de-
ceiyed by transparent villainy, and pity that
the curse of gold should make men so mad
From the first we have believed it premedita-
ted deception, but where gold is concerned peo-
pie will learn only in the school of experience.
Newspapers, in all other respects credible, reit-
crate and demonstrate the villainy private let
ters declare that the writer has seen not dozen
ounces Of gold, yet all is forgotten while reading
the falsehoods which are written and printed by
parties employed to decoy the crcdulous within
convenient robbing distance.
Credible persons have returned and are return
ing every day with the declaration that there ls
no gold in circulation except what has been ta
ken from this State, and every proof necessary
10 convince any sane person, is adduced that the
country has not yet yielded gold enough to sup
port the present inhabitants five days. But peo-
pie must and will go, to see for themselves lit
tie experience will cure them of their curiosity !;
two or three months hence they will be working
their passage back TO be ridculed and laughed
at for their credulity
