SMALL STORY TEILERs.- We have no patience
for rining story tellcrs, in person or print. The
most execrable example Of driveling narrative
appears in Harpers' Magazine. The "apropo's," !"
"by the by's" and "by the ways" are pestilen-
TALLY innumerable. We can imagine that pecu-
liar drawer" to be unsteadiy opened and shut
by some superannuated old innkeeper, who from
long habit Of entertaining sleepy guests, in old
age doats on stories. We hold nothing in greater
detestaton than that peculiar literature called
"gossip." What man or woman of sense has
time to wade through columns of gossip ?"
What industrious, intellectual being is so desti
tute Of occupation that he can waste his precious
hours in gossip?" 1t is well enough for old
women, who have perpeuated their race and
done up their temporal household affairs, to sit
in corner and gossip" but a young, stont,
healthy person found in that pursuit should be
furnished with carpet-rags to sew, or should be
engaged to light old gossips pipes Such mis-
cradle devil is employed by Harper.

PHH.osoPHY OF CONTENT.-It is the voice of
Wisdom, that we adapt ourselves to whatever
changes or circumstances in life we may encoun-
ter, and be contented in them; at least, in such
as we cannot change. Zeno, an ancient philoso
pher, founded a sect upon the principle, in opin-
ion, that men should be free from passion
unmoved by joy or grief, and submit without
complaint to the unavoidable necessity by which
all things are governed. This was called Stoicism
and in the absence of Divine revelation. was
doubtless suggested by the immutability Of the
laws OF nature, associated with a belief in the
justice of the gods. We recognize the same SUI
periority of mind in this, that while advancing
to a more elevated destiny, we should not allow
the weeds and brambles of the highway to choke
out the flowers that bloom at each advanced
iootstep.-S SiskiyOu Chronicle.

INDIAN SrATEs.--The Cherokees have lived
under an Independent and regularly organized
government since 1889. 1t is modelled on the
Constitution of the United States and under it
they have made great advances in civilization
Many of the principal men would grace the re-
fined society of any nation. The Choctaws have
also lived under similar government since 1884,
while the Chckasaws have recently followed the
same example, and the Creeks are preparing to
do So making the fourth Independent Indian
State, with institutions identical with our own.
These nations are located on lands reserved by
them for their own exclusive use, when making
treaties with our government for the cession of
tracts of country Of which they held the sover-
eighty as the original proprietors. The people
who constitute them are not citizens of the Uni
ted States under the Constitution. They arc not
part Of the Union, nor are they known in law
to exist. The white man cannot pass through
their territory without a permit, nor can he take
with him, when he is permitted to enter the Indian
domain, certain articles Of merchandise.

COUNTRY "TIGER' AND CRY "BUII.--A
countryman, the owner of large but usually
good -natured dog drove in town a few days since.
Near the railroad crossing on Water street,
"Tiger" fell into bad company, and regular
muss ensued. Taken suddenly, and almost una
wares, the countryman's dog seemed hardly to
comprehend whether it was " free fght'' in
earnest, or only the rough sort of play of village
"hounds" until he found himself in " throat to
mouth" contest with regular fighting character,
in the shape of trained bulldog, and getting
the worst of it. His master, however, by this
time compreheuded the nature of the muss and
springing from his wagon caught the bulldog by
his " narrative and endeavored to separate the
combatauts.
"Let that dog alone, or I'll lam you over the
head ~ growled a rough and excited looking
customer standing by, who proved to be the owner
of the bull.
"Ob, then you want em to fight, do ye?"
calculated bomespun, dropping the end; and then,
at the top of his voice, shouted ago in Tge ?"
And Tige did (" go in." Instantly the tide of
battle was turned. Tige secured and was making
good use of his vantage ground, when Bulls
owner suddenly became converted to peace
maker. Suiting the action to the idea, he made
feint to release his dog from the vicelike jaws
of Tiger.
"Let that dog alone, or I'll lam you over the
head - shouted the countryman; and be straight
ened up and sweled out to such huge proportions
that 4" Rock street" dessted, terror-stricken at
the menace.
Tige pursued bis work in hand until the pite-
Gus ki-yi ~ of his assailant seemed to produce
pity in the dogs heart of the former, for he
laxed his hold and the latter skunk away, with
the appearance OF three legs behind.
AS the countryman jumped into his wagon, he
called out to bull ldog's master" Whenever you
want another fight, just say the word, as me and
Tige alters travel together Genera Gazette

THE SoRRowFUI. CHAMBER,-Agan he stood
before his wife and almost deemed her living
again he took the farewell kiss which she had
died in giving. He half forgot that death had
been within his pleasant home; he seemed to feel
her presence there, beside him in her room.
There stood upon the mantle shelf vase of faded
flowers, they had been placed there by herself in
happy glowing hours. There sat her vacant
crimson chair, her shawl across it lying; it had
been folded round her breast when he had seen
her dying. There was her basket and her books,
her portrait on the wall, the Bible where her
last sweet looks on holy words did fall.
