POETICAL.
THE LAST INDIAN.

Frenzied and wiId he paused On the high cliff, beneath whose rugged brow Heav'd the wide ocean. Bold and majestic Was his rigid form-like some broad statue On the naked rock. Silently he gazed On the blue deep, as piayfully it's bright Nipples followed one another, if Unmindful of it's auditor, from whose Wild eye flashed vivid fires of vengeance Scorn curled upon his bitter lip, and Death" Fell from his parched tongue. Vengeance" he
 cried,
 Vengeance upon the desolating pale face" And high in the air the glittering tomahawk And scalping-knife he raised, and, on the eve Of rushing forth, he paused What boots it
 n0w?"
 Thoughtfully he said, and b- his side the GlItt ring weapons hUng-his arm grew nervleSs His brain grew dizzy--the trees whircd round misty film bedmm'd his brilliant cy. Great Spirit .'' he cried .'and shall luy senses Thus resign their power, and my once dauutless
 heart,
 Grow sick and fainty at the thought of death? l, who have braved it where the mad battle Burn 'd-where hissng arrows sent back the tide Of death, first spread by leaden show'rs from
 whites
 No!-nerved be my arm-my heart be bold.- I've nought to tear-for nought have 1 to live. My parents-where are hey?-where the long line Of kindred-where the circle of warm friends, Who in other days nestled round my heart, And twined with devoted zeal their cords of Love?-Where are they?-Ask the pale horde! Ask of oblivion .-they will tell thee Death hath seald their doom, and the Great Spirit Which gave it, their souls have fed! Yos alone l. of the whole race, am left-to revenge Their death.-and what my poor arm, amid Thousands, do?-Like the faint stag by bloody
 hounds
 Pursued, halts at length, on the last brink, to Conquer there or die. Blood from the ground Seems rising to my sight, and loudly calls for Vengeance. Then, death, come on; no longer will l flee-or seek to shun the face of the Accursed destroyer of my native home!- But glorious death shall wipe away each stain, And wing my spirit to the brighter worlds,"
 He spoke, And with bound he left the crag on high, And soon was lost amid the gloomy forest

LETS SIT DOWN IND TALK TOGETHER.
BY MACkELLAR.

BY MACKELLAR. Let's sit down and talk together Of the things of olden day. When we like lambkins loosed from tetLer, GayIy tripp'd along the way. Time has toueE'd Us both with lightness, Leaving furrows here and there And tinging with peculiar brightness Sllyery threads among our Lair Let's sit down and talk together; Many years away have past. And fair and foul has been the weather Since we saw each other last Many whom we loved are living In a better world than this: And some among Us still are giving Foil and thought for present bliss. Let's sit down and talk together; Though the flowers of youth are dead The forms still grow among the heather, And for us their fragrance shed Life has 2 thousand blessings iii 1t Even for the aged man; And God has hid in every minute Something We may wisely scan. Let's sit down and talk together: Boys we were-we now are men; We meet a while, but know not whether We shall meet 10 talk again. Parting time las come: how fectinr Speed the moments when their wings Are tann'd by brea.hings issuing swectly From touguc that never syin@s.

MARRYING IN FUN-An Erie paper tolls how at an evening party in that vicinity re- gently, as a matter of fun a proposition to marry was entertained y tTo parties who had then for the first time met In carry ing ont tue joke 1t was suggested that the ceremony De Immediately perlormed-the preacher residing near by They went to the house of the minister to consummate the joke, found the reverend gentleman in bed, woke him, and had the ceremony performed in the spirit of a joke, and paid the fee in a joke; but the best part of tho joke is they have since learned tbat the marriage was le- gally performed, and is binding upon the par ties engaged therein. It is supposed the par ties, who are both respectable, will mend matters by eventually assuming in earnest what was intended as a jest, the true relation ship of man and wife Tho gentleman is named Doane, resident of New York State, and the lady is a Miss Wheeler This is . warning to folks who are fond of testing, and especially in affairs of such deep moment as the ceremony of marriage.

-A YALrARrE PARRor.-A narallel Cd

A VALUABLE PARRor.--A parallel case to the geese who saved the capitol of Rome has happened at Camden, New Jersey. It appears that Mr. John Hutchinson has a very loquacious parrot, as we'll as a wel[stoeked plate chest On Saturday, some greedy New Jerseymen resolved to try the virtue of silver forks at their own dinner-table, and conse- quently broke into the pantry. As they were just on the point of securing the plate, they heard loud and awful voice exclaim, " You lazy devils, I see you. John, bring mo my revolverw They made one rush for the win dow, which they had forced open, and in their trepidation got into the yard of a neighbor who had a fierce dog. A great noise was the result, and the police awakened one of the three men was captured. The parrot had saved the plate.

YELLED BEAUTIEs.-The King of Ba- varia is much ayerse to ladies wearing wells in the streets, and frequently stops those who have their veils down to adjust them artistic ally. The other day he was seen at Munich talking with three ladies in the street which bears his name and iii which he takes a daily walk, lifting up the veil ofeach one, and lay ing 1t on the top of her bonnet in way suit ing the artistic fancies of the patron of Schwanthaler and the friend of Thorwaldsen. He then left them proceed, and of course, all let their veils down as soon as he was out of sight It seems King Ludwig once exposed himself to the sight of second Medusa' s head He lifted the veil of an old lady, looked at her face, and dropped 1t instantly, saying, Madam, you are right"

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND. With the utmost aversion to the resump- ton of melancholy strain, the stubborness of facts urge a continuance of complaints, both as to the nnpropitious character Of the season and of future prospects.
 The light, well-drainel lands have again by far the best chance of remuneratiye returns. Almost incessant rains have nearly water-log- ged the cold clays and low-situated localities, and much of the wheat crop must depeld upon the sowinos of spring. The new wheat has come worse to hand as Q consequence of the bad weather, and the trade, to be proper ly described, must be cleft in twain, or viewed as exhibiting a double current moving in op- posite directions.
 The price of old wheat and fine dry new has rather moved upwards with steadiness; while damp new has come to dead lock- or been forced off at low rates to meet the eX- penscs of kiln-dryng. Without this process, much is only serviccabe for cattle-food. h. deed, so low is the estimate of the value of new samples, that town millers have found the best only fit for mixing with good for eign, in the small proportion of one-siXteenth.
 This will explain the high rates of town made flour, and the general neglect into which all new English wheat has fallen If only oGe-sixteenth is usable by frst-rate mil lers, the bulk (while good foreign i5 within reach) must be neglected till it is dried, eith- CT artiicially or naturally. So convinced of this have farmers lately become, that many markets have had but small supplies, and the reduction of the quantity on offer has alone kept prices where they are, in midst of an abundance of foreign

GR1EFs OF BoYHooD.-God have mercy on the boy who learns to grieye early Con- demn it as sentiment if you will talk as you will of the fearlessness and strength of the boys heart, yet there belongs to it many tenderly strung chords of affection, which give forth low and gentle music, that consoles and ripens the ear for all the harmonies of life These chords, a little rude or unnatural tension will break, and break forever Watch your boy, then, if so be he will bear the strain try his nature, if 1t be rude or deli cate and if delicate, in Gods name do not, as you value your peace and his, breed a harsh spirit in him, that shall take pride in subju- gating and forgetting the finer affections"

ExTRAoRp1yARY RELATION BY MAR

EXTRAORDINARY RELATION BY MAR RIAGE.-Not long since a man in Sauk coun- ty, Wisconsin, married for bis second wife his own stepmother, who, singular en- ough, was sister to his first wife. The lady is, therefore, not only stepmother and aunt to her husbands children, but also their grand mother, while the husband Is stepfather to stepsisters. Her issue by this marriage will not only be own cousins to their stepbrother, but uncles and aunts also; and the lady her self, being grandmother to her children and nephews, may be regarded as mother to her self and child to herself, and, therefore, her own grandmother

TIE ENCHANTED GUN.-It once happen ed that an honest oldsimpleton, who had been '' to training" had made money enough by thowing stones at a peg to get very com iortably fudd!ed. even without any draft upon his purse of three fourpence-ha' penny pieces" laid by for that purpose several months before Some wags, who had kept soberer upon the occasion than our hero not having had so good lgck at gingerbread galn- bling, loaded his gun to the very muzzle with alternate charges of excellent powder and touchwood, and, starting him homeward, took care to put red-hot nail upon the topmos5 piece of touchwood. Uncle Ichabod, honest old soul shouldered frelocll and took up his < line of march . for home. He had not gone far, however, before pop goes the charge from his gun. Rather singular, thought uncle Ich, but a mere accident, doubtless; charge being left there careIessly. A few rods far ther bang. goes the second charge. " Lord a mercy" says Ichabod, ' this is tarnal strange l swagger but guess it didn't all go off the first time, or else wouldn't go off again, and would it though ?' He had hardly finished this dialogue with himself, before eff goes the repeater again. Ny gracious v exclaimed our terrified military man, '' the old boy is in the gun. never heard of such a thing in my born days "-an exclamation which he had hardly concluded before his everlasting musket struck four, and Ichabod, having no longer any following for weapon possessing such fearful continuity of ezpo- sion, very prudontly threw 1t over the fence, and made rapid strides for the house of the clergyman having now no doubt that he or his gun was bewitched. The clergyman himself was not without his doubts on the subject, after Ichabod had testified to the whole story the truth of which was corroba- rated by several distinct discharges from the gun, in the place where he had thrown 1t, which was within plain hearing of the par ties. However. while the matter remained entirely unsettled, the mischieyous catitf5, who had caused all the alarm, arrived with the offending muskct, which made its last dis charge in the cler2yman's presence, and re- fused further service till reloaded. It was never fairly settled, however, between him and Itbabod, whether or not 1t was case of real witchoratt-a matter which we are the first to put fairly at rest, by detailing these particulars.

Tradition makes Cogoletto, a small town through which we passed few miles before reaching Genoa, the birthplace of Columbus, and there is an inscription which marks the house of his reputea birth It may be true, and it may be false-for, in this land of t7adi- tion and superstition, it is as easy to fabricate . tradition as an inscription, and credulity Is ready to believe that 1t is as old as Adam. The house ofhis father was in the suburbs Of Genoa, as is shown by the deed. He himself says he was born in Genoa. There Is, there fore, some color for the tradition and 1t IS not worth while to dig deeper to find doubts. He was Ligurian, and nothing could be more likely to sharpen curiosity and suggest life of adventure than to look out from these rocky highlands upon the Mediterranean, washing the fields at its base and covered with the little but daring and enterprisng corsalrs of the Lcyant the Greciau Archipelago and the African coast.
 How time sets things right. Brought home in chains. robbed in his lifetime ot his honors and his profits, and the name of anoth- CT given to his discoveries time has written his name with iron and lead in the rock for eyer.' His jealous and triumphant enemies, as well as bis royal patrons and enterPrising followers in the path of discovery, are remem- bered but when we call them up from the land of shadows there is always, in the midst of them and before them, the great Genoese with glory about him, in the light ofwhich they shine with a pale ray. So it will be forever He went on when every other would have given up in despair. He gave New World to the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. But Castile and ArraSon, and all the progeny of their .descendant-common- wealths are dwihdling and fading away, and race nearer akin to the old Ligurian-" the world seeking Genoese7-is, from year to year, devoting the New World to the great commonwealth of freedom and mutuaIity.
