An Awful RetribnfiOu.

Last spring a company of Pixies Peakers
left GRANVILLE, Illinois, for the Kansas gold
regions. While travelling through the In
dian country on their way out, one of the
company, young man Of desperate charac-
ter, from GRANVILLE, named Haynes, declared
his determination to shoot the first Indian
he met; and unhappily, during the day, they
overlook on the prairie defenceless squaw,
when he, in mere wanton wickedness, level
ed his gun, and shot her dead. ~
His companions were horror stricken al
the blood-thirsty deed, but they felt that
they had no power to punish him. The
tribe to which she belonged was not tar
distant when the deed was perpetrated -
They heard tho crack of the rifle and every
eve turned to the direction where it breaketh
A company of eight started in the direction
where the squaw was. They discovered
her lifeless body, and saw at once the man
ner Of her deaf =. They pursued the party
of Illinois Pixies Peakers, and in a few hours
overlook them and demanded to know who
had committed the murder.
The company Of six Peakers found them
selves surrounded hv nearly two hundred
enraged Indians, who threatened to immediate
the whole party If they did not point out
and give up the murderer. To save their
own lives, they gave mp Haynes to their ven
geance, he was taken by the Indians to
distance, while his companions tarried on
their route to see what would he his fate.
After a while the Indians returned, with
their victim literally fsyed alive. They
had skinned him from head to foot. The
wretched being was still alive when brought
back to his companions, but in torments
worse than hell fire. He lived in agony long
enosgh to tell how he had been tortured,
but was soon released by death from un-
speakable sufferings-- Louisville Journal.

The Beautiful.

Walk with the Beautiful and with the Grand,
Let nothing on the earth thy feet deter.
Sorrow may lead the weeping by the hand,
But give not all thy bosom thoughts t, her;
Walk with the Beautiful
I hear thee say, "The Beautiful! what is it?"
0, thou art darkely ignorant! Be sure
IT'S no long weary road its form to visit,
For thou canst make it smile beside thy door;
Then love the Beautiful.
Ay, love it; it's sister that will bless,
And teach the patience when the heart is lonly
The Angels love it, for they wear the dress,
And thou art Made little lower only;
Then love the Beautiful.
Sigh for it clasp it when it's in thy wayl
Be it's idolator, as of a maiden!
Thy parents bent to it. and more than they;
Be thou its worship. Another Eden
Comes with the Beautiful
Some boast its presence in Grecian face:
Some, on a favorite warbler of the skies!
But be not fool d! where thine eye might trace
Seeking the Beautiful, it will arise;
Then seek it everywhere.
Thy bosom is its mint, the workmen are
Thy thoughts and they must coin for thee believing
The Beautiful exists in every star,
Thou make it so; and art myself deceiving
If otherwise thy faith.
Thou seest Beauty in the violet's cup;
I'll teach thee miracles! Walk on this heath,
And say to the neglected flower. Look up
And be thou Beautiful If thou hast faith
1888 1t will obey thy will.
One thing warn thee; bow no knee to gold
Less innocent it makes guiltless tongue,
1t turns the feeling permaturely old;
And they who keep their best affection young
Best love the Beautiful.
Subscribe, read, and pay for the COURIER,
ifyou would be happy. .s-s

Fever and -Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part OF
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous nliasm OF
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat on wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it,. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earth sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excretng organs
Of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus but also tie Tile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct OF our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
Infusion concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excretores to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But i'm this effort it fails Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rl,shes to the surface, as if in
another effort expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted. and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the Ats or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGuE.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
