not hesitate to follow where half-breet
has gone with single fint-lock gun,
said the fiery southerner.
They rode rapidly on. Toward the
close of the day, a sound, never heard
unnoticed in the wild domain of the In
dian, startled them to sudden halt ans
wakeful attention.
That was not the report of rife,
said the experienced Gardiner it was
an Indian gun"

At this moment two other shots were
heard.

by the Blaekfeet and fighting for his

horse.
Stop said the stern New England
er. This is no boys play. Let us be
men. We will fight for kaya; but God
gives to man discretion that he may use
it. The grass is high. We can approach
these beasts, who have not the scent OF
the wild animals of the plains, and aid
the mountaineer better by aiding him with
judgment"
Gardiner had turned in his saddle to
address his companion, and he sat upon
his horse like some old Coyenanter His
head was bent forward as if listening.
His set jaw, the deep, earnest meaning OF
his ordinarily cold, hazel eye, his hand
cleachcd quiyering on the hilt of his re-
yolver demonstrated his faith in the high
purpose to which he had devoted himself
Wilson acknowledged the propriety OF
caution. They di>mountcd and drove the
paek-aninlals together at the bottom OF
the slope.
They then rode on.
Again and again, they heard the dull
reports of the firearms, which had first
awakened their attention
They spurred their tired horses they
were excited by an almost ungoyernable
curiosity; they drew near to the comba-
tants.

THE OLD MANS OPINION OF FARNING.-
Mr. Thomas Haskell, an old farmer of
Gloucester, Mass, in Il communication to
the New England Farmer relating the profits
of farming, says That there is q secret
blessing attends the labors of the honest, in
dustrious farmer. have no doubt from my
own experience for am located in one of
the hardest spots Of New England, and had
very small means to work with, but have
gradually been gaining, until now have as
much property as ] desire all | wish for is
that those who do the labor upon the farm
may be well paid, and have comfortable
living without spending the real estate.
think it is one of the mistakes of farmers,
after they have got into years. and have
enough to support them comiortably,to keep
adding to their real estate, rather than to
let their sons or some other young men, do
their labor, and have what income there is
more than they need for their own actual
support Farming is my delight, and If
cannot perform the labor now, will try TO
encourage Others to do it, and be evnlent
with the returns.

PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 1860.
The parade OF the Repuelicau Clubs ton eht to
rece We Col. Curtin, at the close Of his campaign
in the interior, the largest and most imposing
ever Witnessed in this city. and completely ektin-
suisted the recent Bell and Everett taraout,
which bad less than one fourth of the Plumbers,
AID did not compare 10 spiIit or effect with this
demonstration. Upward of 10000 voters were 10
line at one tune, and the streets through which the
procession passed were 'hrouged vita multItudes
Of spectators for miles, who cheered it at all prom
inent points.
A significant feature of the Occs'iOu was the ap-
peaIanee of the new club Of Mercantile Tariff
Men" headed by soUe Of the oldest AID best mer-
chants of the city, and entirely composed of enter.
prisirg business men, who sell their prints" but
not their principles. This display has greatly To-
creased the cOn6derce of our friends ia the city,
which has b,en growing daily for the p,st fort
night. TtsimpIessiOn nOwpreSalls that Col. Curtin

The honest friends Of Bell openly repudia;e the
sale OF them attempted by the managers, aud the
discovery that the b itsh agents and Free Traders
in Hew.YOrk have contributed large sums Of
morey to elect Foster DOV, as they did Pollock in
1856 10 prevent any modification Of the tariff, has
produced reaction AID excitement. Col. Curtin

Shall shortly make us one. That unity
Is, after all, but metaphysical.

Endowed with human sense-that, brought
together,
We both might coalesce into one salt,
One homogeneous crystal. o, that thou
Vert Carbon, and myself were Hydrogen,
We would unite to form olefant gas,
Or common coal, or-naphtha; would to heaven
That were Phosphorus, and thou vert Lime!
And we Of Lime composed Phosphuret.

So that thou might be Soda. In that case
We should be Glauber's Salt. Vert thou

Instead, we'd form that, named from Epson.
Couldst thou Potassa be, Aqua-fortis,
Our happy union should that compound form,

And thus our several natures blended quite,
We'd live and love together until death

Religious Curiosity. /.

Is n { = II
In Joseph's Dream of the eleven ttars
making obsisance to him, it il said there
is an allusion to the signs-of the Zodiac
the eleven brethren ansvering to the elev-
en- signs, and Joseph to the twelfth,-
These signs were known in Chaldes and
afterwards in Egypt They are, - eve
.ybody knows called by the names OF azt-
mails, except one. The curiosity conpists
in the resemblance between the blessings
of Jacob and his prophecies respecting
his sons, as found in Genesis, 49tK chap
ter, and the animals after whose names
the consultations are called. The follow.
ing table will illustrate the meaning. Any
one who will keep in mind the picture Of
the human figures usually found in our
almanacs and the considerations around
them, will understand the whole matters:
