Slow AND SURE.-The river Amazon,
the longest river in the world, which dis
charges into the sea the largest quantity
of water is, at the same time, the slow
est. 1t falls but one foot in fifty miles,
yet it would be just as difficult to stop its
course, or prevent its flowing into the
ocean, as it would to dam up the Niaga-
ra. That one foot in fifty miles is just as
good as though it were hundred. What
an image the mighty flood presents Of a
resolute will determined to accomplish a
certain purpose; let but the will be form
ed, aud it matters little how slow the
means may be, the object will be accom-
plishcd sooner or later. In these fast
days, when every thing seems to have re-
ceivcd certain impetus, and great enter
prises are taken up and executed with
a flash, it is very we'll to bear in mind
thai the greatest things that have been
accomplished in the world have been done
by slow and patient movements.
The brilliant result may have suddenly
burst upon the world, but the processes
by which it was accomplished have been
deliberately planned and slowly executed.
The electric telegraph is now the type Of
rapidity; but consider by what slow and
patient steps it was brought to perfection.
1t took full hundred years of plodding
thought, of patient experiment, of slow,
deliberate movements, to reach the ulti-
matum of rapid progress.
There are a great many things done in
hurry. 1t is very good thing to be
fast, when, as Davy Crockett said, you
are sure you are right. But it is much
better to be slow and sure, for then there
will be no danger of overshooting your
mark,

For the Grand Haven News.
A LEGEND.

Many years since the writer had the
pleasure of spending a summers after
noon, in company with others, at an inter
view between gentleman from the State
of New York aud one of the oldest of
the Chiefs Of the Ottawa tribe of In
dans.
The object of Judge Hutchinson was
TO ascertain the connection Of the tribes
of Michigan and the West with the Six
Nations--so called in the early wars of
our country-and also TO learn if at
the present day the old treaties with the
British Government were recognized, and
if so, in what manner, and if ever re-
newed.
Not few in our State are interested
in the history and legends of the Indian
tribes who formerly occupied and ruled
this Peninsula, and, therefore, relate the
scene-premising, however, by saying
that the circumstances and the Chief who
spoke gave an interest to the narration
which he will not attempt to attach to
this communication, were it even possible.
The old veteran warrior, gray with age
and trembling with feebleness, commenc-
ed with the history of their tribe (the
Ottawas,) as handed down TO them by
tradition, from their first knowledge OF
the white man, which occurred in this
wise:
The tribe was located on the river OF
tawa, Lower Canada. On certain oc-
casion their Chief was in his tent; over
the camp fire was placed his rude kettle
of clay, in which was his scanty meal
and on rugged mat near by was frolick-
ing his only child. From some cause the
kettle crumbled in pieces, or was detach-
ed from its support, and the contents
emptied upon the child, who, after great
suffering, died. Day and night the fathel
mourned for this his first and only SON.
refusing comfort from any of his subjects
After nights of watching and WEAKNESS
nature gave way, and he fell into deer
sleep, or trance, as the veteran expressed
it, and dreamed Or saw vision, to wit:
A being appeared before him and in
quired the cause of his despondency.-
After hearing him relate the cause of hi:
grief, he told him to journey along the
banks Of a certain river, until he saw Q
particular bird, which was described tc
him in his dream, and there remain, and
he would hear something Of great benefi,
10 himself and his tribe.
He forthwith SET out for the spot wher,
he expected 10 have restored 10 him, BY
some good spirit, the object of his heart

waumpum be destroyed; but silver will
remain the same as long as the nations
exist. These plates were bound with a
silver cord aud carefully preserved. Since
then the representatives of the two
nations have often met and drawn
the cords still closer, as indicative of the
frmness of their friendship and perma-
nency of their obligations. He said, to
this day the Indians regard their obliga-
lions to the English paramount to all
other, and most of them would render
service 10 the British nation, were they
called upon, in the event of an invasion
by the armies of England.
He was asked if that was the feeling
of his tribe? ...t ....
Not altogether, he replied. For him
self he could say, when he concluded a
peace with his American brethren, he did
it without deceit. lie did not take tie
tips Of their fingers, hoping their hands
'0ould slide array from his, Jm Nth a
firm grasp, that they might feel the firm
grip Of friendship. He said he was too
old for war; but were he in the prime Of
life, his war-cub could never be raised
against those he had solemnly promised
before the Great Spirit he would never
molest
This good Indian Chief has gono to
his anticipated hunting grounds. No
one of his many acquaintance will say
but that the white man ever received at
his wigwam the best cheer the lodge cord
provide, ever exhibiting the sincerity of
the pledge he gave our ancestors and our.
selves, w.

The EFFECT OF SHoT ON VESSELS
A shot does not make hole of its own
size right through wood, but indents it,
The fibers springing back after the shock.
Generally, the course of the oall only can
be traced with wire, sometimes by n
hole as large as n man'sfnger. The dam
age most often happens in the inside Of a
vessel, in splintering and breaking the
wood, after the main force of the shot is
spent. There is rarely AN instance where
a ship was sunk by a solid shot. Shell
and hot shot do the mischief. Shells
will sometimes make aperetures of seve-
raj feet in extent through the sides of YES

I'M COMING HOME TO DIE, MOTHER.

Unwelcome winds are signing
Within this distant West,
And wrapt in pain TN lying,
With vision-broken rest
often dream thy bosom
Is pillowing my head,
Aud wake to find illusion
Has gathered round my bed;
But starting from my dreaming,
check the rising sigh,
For I'm coming home to die, mother, :
Coming home to die.
long to see thee, mother,
And kiss thy dear old check,
feel there is no other TH..
With whom i wish to speak;
No heart has half such kindness,
No voice such music's flow
Why did in my blindness
Cause you n moments woeg
know you've mouned me often;
But wipe the glistening eye,
For L IN coming nome 10 ole, mother,
Coming home to die.
Tell father that wish him
To mark the spot for me,
Where Looloo used to kiss him
And sing the forest glee
'Tis where the wild red roses
Perfume the summer air.
And when this life scene closes,
Lay rowing Allan there.
o let the spot be lonely,
And hid from passers by,
For I'm coming home to die, mother,
Coming home to die.
My memory is clinging
To childhood's sunny hours,
And Looloo's voice seems ringing
Amidst the garden flowers;
The moments seem to lengthen
AS starting-time draws near,
And hope begins to strengthen
With thought Of leaving here.
So let the heart be gladden'd,
Our meeting hour is nigh,
For I'm coming home to die, mother,
Coming home to die.

EI- The officer of the deck on board
man-of-war asked the man at the wheel
one day: How does she head?"
1t was blowing gale of wind.
Scuthayst," returned Pat, touching
his hat, but forgetting to add sir to his
answer.
"You'd better put few more SIS in
your answer when you speak to me" saad
the huffy lieutenant.
"Ay, ay, sir-r-r," returned the witty
Irishman.
A day or two after the officer called
out again:
"How does she head now?"

more" Before they went 10 the steamer
they marched to the state house, receiving
their equipments and the following handsome
address from the governor:
Mr. Commander, Soldiers receive you as
| always have done on occasions like tins, OF
the visit and departure OF the citizen soldiers
of Massachusetts,, with an emotion when 90
not care to conceal and which do not ind
words adequate TO express with an emotion
of gratitude when consider what men must
leave behind in devotipg themselves to this
work of gratitude, when | remember that tu
ture Tor all of us and our children which you are
10 make; with amaZement, when remember
from what peaceful pursuits you, and all who
have gone before you, have sprung, as IT cleo
triied with the sparks of patriotic sentiment,
which have run from man TO man, and from
heart to heart, throughout all the length and
breadth of these free states Applause.
| Soldiers--The divine providence OF God
| only knows What future Of trial or OF tempo
rary disaster may be before us and our armies
| but we know by the inspiration OF our own
hearts, that whatever of trial aid temporary
| disaster we may meet, that victory sure anu
triumphant will eventually perch upon orr
banners loud cheers We know ii because
We have drawn no sword from any sentiment
of vulgar glory or ambition not in order that
we OF Massachusetts, may have an opportunity
of distinguishing ourselves but because II
has become our duty as citizens 10 stand W
for our government and our country. CHEERS
Civilization is at stake; not merely the
American Union not merely the preservation
intact, as we mean to keep it, (cheers) Of this
vast union of states, stretching f ON one shore
to another, but civilization itself Applause.
You are waging war against an ollgarchy o.
tyrants such as appears no where else on the
face OF the whole earth an Uligarchy thai
seeks to wage equal war upon the states nortl
and south, determined to subvert by force O
power the liberties OF all people whom they
can degrade into the rank OF interiors, and at
tempting to spread this abominable work into
states supposed to be least lOyal, but which
have proved true (cheers); and all this in or
der that this oigarchy might ruiz this country
and when a hundred years hence, perhaps
tyranny should have been rooted out i'll the
old world, it should find its great triumph ant
apotheosis in the land of Columbia at Wash
inglon Thank God, the spell is broken! (Loud
applause.) That God who nerved our fathers
arms aud inspired their hearts, has not forgot
ten their sons. Under the banner of our coun
try, of freedom, of civilization and christianl-
ty, go forth, conquering and to conquer. Long
continued cheers.
