TIE SNAKE INDIANS.

The following particul, rs respecting these
wild and degraded bands of savages are inter
e ting now when rumors are current of their
outrages upon some of cur troops In Oregon:
..The Snakes, or Shoshonies, known inaore
9o1monly as a1i9sd a5s Into quite haa.
Der Of bands, all speaking common language.
They occupy the country from Burnt river on
the east to the Des Chutes river ON the west,
east of The Blue Mountans. and extend rs far
S. nth as California. Very little ia known
about these Indians There is reservation at
the Warm Springs which embraces Des Chutes
and Tyieh Indians, but no Snakes that We kaow
of have as yet crept into it, although the Ioca-
tion is peculiarly adapted to their tastes and
habits, abounding as it does in roots--sueh as
ko Sc, la kamas, wapatocs, and wild onions
which have been very important pal t Of their
subsistence. With the exception of the i'm
mediate margin of the streams, their country
is almost barren waste, afording very little
vegetation, except the artemsia or wild sage.
L ey subsist, ACCORDING ly, not only upon roots,
but upon almost every living thing within their
reach, including reptiles, criekets, ants, and
other insects; and upon emergencies it is said
they oat enc another. 1t has been asserted bJ
gentlemen of the IIudson's Bay Company that
they are proyerbialy improvident, and aegleet
to store up any subsistence for winter. thou h
constantly aumonlsheu OF u scanLy supply; af0
consequently, in extremities, resort to eannibal-
ism. In summer they go in a state of nHdity,
and in winter, t6a partial extent, they bring
into requsition skins of rabbits, and of wild
fowl, such as geese and ducks, as articles of
clothing. The wild sage furnishes them shell
ter in the heat of summer, and, like the cayote,
they burrow in the earth for protection from
the inclenencies of winter. They are THEW
ing well as indolent people, but are without
the means well as the energies of being
warlike."

GEN. JOE LANE.

tlenan to whom it was addressed, to make the
following extractof letter from Gen. Joseph
Lane, dated Winchester, Oregon, the 18th

the principles upon whichthe contest was
fought by the gallant Senator and his late
worthy colleague, Mr.. Smith" oYo'a
s.We have just now received the official vote
cast at our late election fur Congress- atout,
the nominee of the Democratic party, is elected

weeks was in the saddle or on the stump; av-
eraged about from 40 70 SO miles q day travel,
and made from one to two speeches daily. My
late colleague, Mr. Smith. made the round
with me. Our triumph is the more glorious, a.
the battle was fought strictly upon democratic
principles We took nigh nati,'nal ground;
stood upon the Constitution and the rights IF
the States under it, and their equality in the
Territories; defended the pulley of our present
able Administration, as also the decision Of the
Supreme Court in the Dred Scot case. Our
triumph was glorious because it is victory
over the united Republican, party; aided and
assisted by the traitor Bush. of The .StatesnlaH.

Where the palm tree waves It's gr,ceful plumes

and born the wings of fancy over interven-

hears the lark singing above his fathers field
and sees his fairhaired brother. with light foot
and childhood's glee, chasing the butterfly by
his native stream. And in his best hours,
home, his own native home, with his Father
above that starry sky, will be the wist Of every
Christian man. He looks around hin-he
finds the world is full of suffering; he is dis
tressed with its SORROWS and vexed with its SINS
He lonks within hm-he finds much in his
own corruptions to grieve for. In the Ian

AUTUMN LEAVES.


The autumn leaves! the autumn leavesl
They fall and die in the mourn:ul blast
And a strange wild thought my heart conceivss
In their ghost like echoes of the past.
Twas thus they fell in years agone-
Thus they'll fall as time rolls on.
And ever thus man spirit grieves
Ger withered hopes, like autumn leaves.
The cold wind sweeps the barren fields,
And whistles through the wilhered grass;
The humid earth no fragrance yields.
And days grow chilIier as they pass.
Thus human hearts grow chill with years,
Thus human joys are dampsd in tea $,
And man distrusts what long deceiyes,
And reads his fate in autumn leaves.
The autumn leaves are scar and dead!
The autumn leaves are bare and chilli
Their fragrance gone, their verdurc fed,
But be tuIy hangs about them still.
Thus may we. pass away,
In virue hide the hearts decay;
And find in faith what faith belieTes,
a gentle fall-like autumn leaves
The autumn leavesi the autumn leaves
They wither die. and pass away;
And mourniully my fancy weaves.
Eut pen cannot Iranscribe The lay.
Soos, soon alike the winter cloud
Will spre ID Ior them and the shroud;
And Ieace 10 him whose heart receives
The lesson taught by failing leaves.

Nov, this ape, from his position, saw croc-
odile in the water, rising to the top, exactly
beneath the coil of the serpent. Quick as thought
he jumped upon the snake, which fell with
a slash into the jaws of the crocodile. The ape
saved himself by clinging to the limb of tree,
but battle commenced ia the water The
serpent grasped in the middle by tho crocodile,

Folly OF PRIDE.-Take some quiet sober
moment of life, and add together the two ideas
IF pride and man; beholl him. creature of a
span, stalking through infinite space in all the
grandeur of littlcness. Perched on speckof
the Universe, every wind Of Heaven strikes
into his blood the coldness of death; his soul
floats from his body like melody from the
string; day and night, as dust on the wheel.
he is rolled along the heavens through laby-
rintl of wollls, and all the creations of God
are flaming above and beneath. Is this crea-
ture to make for himself u crown of glory, to
deny his own flesh, to mock at his fellow,
sprung from that dust to which both will soon
r~turn? Does the proud man not err? Docs
he not suffer? Does he not die? When he
reasons, is he never stopped by difficulties !?
When he acts, is he never tempted by pleasure?
When he lives, is he free from pain When
he dies, can lie escape the common grave p

should dwell with 4railtE-and atone for ieao-

SILENT INFLUENcE.-It is the bubbling
spring which flows gently, the little rivulet
which runs along, day and night, by the farm
house, that is used rather than the swollen
flood or warning cataracls. Niagara excites
our wonder, and we stand amazed at the power
and greatness of God. as he poured it from
thehollow of his hand But one Niagara is
enough for the coHtinen of the world, while the
same world requires thousands and tens of
thousands of silver fountains and gently flow
ing rivulets, that water every farm and meadow,
and every garden, aid shall flow on every night

like those of the martyrs that good is to be
done; it is by the daily and quiet virtues of

the wife, tn father, the mother, the brother,
the sister, the friend, the neighbor, that is to
be done.

BoNAPARTE's EARLY PovERTY.-M. Thier,
in his history OF the Consulate, lectes some
very strange and previously unknown particu.
lars respecting the early life and penury of Ma
polron Bonaparte
1t appears that after he had obtained a sub
lltern's commission in the French service, by
his skill and daring at Toulon, he lived some
tine in Paris, in obscure lodgings, and in such
extreme poverty, that he was often without the
mean: of paying ten sous-ten ceuts-for his
dinner, and frequently went without anything
at all. He was under the necessity of borrow
ing sums and even worn out clothes from his
acquaintances! He and brother Louis, after
wards King of Holland, had at one time only
coat between them, so that .he brothers could
only go out alternately, time and time about.

Emperr and conqueror, sat whose mighty
