Father, that little flag you gave
TO brother Will and =
With pretty stripes of white and red
And bit of starry sky
We raised upon a pole to day,
And as we made it fast,
A poor old man, with but one leg,
Came hobbhug slor iy past.
That's right, my little men," said he,
tear shone in his eye
Send up your tiny stars to join
Their comrades in the sky.
For that good flag lost this leg.
When we the victory won,
And crushed secession's hydra head
In eighteen sixty one.
The colors of that flag, my boys,
Were hallowed years ago,
Whom from starving patriots feet
Blood mingled with the snowl
Whilst for each star a star of hope
Shone brightly in the skye,
Directing them to trust in God
And keep their powder dr!H'
The old man told nice stories, then
Of Andersen the brave,
And Ellsw worth who so sweetly sleeps
In patriots grave.
1t made US wish that we were men,
And we've resolved tonight,
When we get big we'll raise our flag
And battle for the Right

The MaysYille Democrat tells of hand-
some young woman residing there who.
like all other class, is pestered with suit
ors. On Monday last(washing day. J one
came along. She was up to the elbows
in suds, and with determination to say
something harsh; thought better Of it,
and said to the handsome young man:
GOOD morning, Mr.. John Smith;
am very glad to see you, and should be
glad to have you come in, but the fact is
| am washing"
"Ah, no NATTER he answered, II will
sit little while in there; you can just GO
onwith your work the same. / am delighted
to get into the kitchen, it is SO pleasant
and home like"
If he was delightd, so was not the wild
ow. She gave him a chair and chatted
away merrily; however, at the same time
seeming very much engaged with the
work before her Presently she took up
a large sized wash basin and filed it full
Of hot suds from the boiler on She stove.
and stepping to table, took up boques
that was lying thereon, and in the most
innocent manner conceivable, asked the
gentleman if he could tell the botanical
name of one of the flowers contained there
in. Of course he rose from the chair and
stepped forward to examine it. The ma
licious woman adroitly set the basin down
in the vacated seat. Then she rivettd his
gaze with one of her sweetest smiles and
presented to him the boquet, and begged
him to resume his seat. That widow
has not had caller since.

SELLING A LAWYER.
A man "Down East" tells the follow
ing story.
He says he was taking a sleigh-ride
with a pretty girl, when he encountered
Methodist minister, favorite gospel itine-
rant in all that region round about. He
stopped him, and asked hurriedly;
"Can you tie a knot for me?"
Yes said Brother B-,'T guess
SO; when do you want it done?'
"Well, right away" was the reply. -
is it la wiul, though, here on the high
way asked the brother.
"I never thought of that"
II don't know" was the response,
made just as young briefless lawyer
drove up, to whom the case was submitted,
cit depends on the sort of a knot he
wishes tied, was the decision.
ssI want knot tied in my horses tail,
to keep it out of the snow!" shouted the
wicked wag, as he drove rapidly away
fearing lest the minister in his profane
wrath should s'fall from grace"
Ata--Afe distance he .tslomed" and
heard the lawyer ue----adins fee OF five
dollars from the minister for s'pTofess1onut

BATTLE BETWEEN THE SIOUX AND
CHTPPEWAS.

We are indebted to James M'Fetridge Esq.
late United States Collector at Pembina, for the
particulars Of the bloody fight between the Sioux
and Chippewas, of which he was an eye witness,
at ST. Joseph, on the Pembina River Oh the 10th
Of June last.
Last summer, while the Hon. Charles Grant
was encamped with party Of hunters on the
Mouse River, twelve horses were s0en from
him by q party of Yankton Sioux Nothing sas
heard Of the horses until the 10Th Of June last,
when party Of thirty six Sioux warriors, sc-
companied by two squaws, arrived at st. Joseph
with the stolen property, for the purpose of re-
turning it, in pursuance of recent treaty made
between the Peubiua half breed hunters and the
Yankton Sioux. The delegation with the stolsn
horses arrived opposite ST. Joseph about tao
O'Clock in the afternoon they Immediately cross
ed the river and proceeded TO the residence of
Gov. Wilkie, a member Of the las, Territori.
Legislature. Unfortunately a large party Of
Chppewas fred on the Sioux while they were in
the act OF entering Gov. Wilkes house. The
Sioux took possession Of the house. aud reHov-
ing the chinking from between the logs, re
turned the FIRE with effect. From this time un-
tl midnight constant firing was kept up between
the Indians. Six Chippewas, three Sioux, and
two Assiniboines were killed during the struggle.
Gov. Wilkes daughter, in passing within range
of the comoatants, was severely wounded i'll the
thigh by an arrow. Mr.. N'Fetrid-e describes
the scene terribly exciting, and relates irssan-
ces Of great individual bravery. One Chippewa,
son OF the chiet Red Bear. was shot three
times in an endeavor 10 enter she house; at each
shot he fell TO the ground, but raised himself and
pushed forward; his progress was stopped at the
threshold by one Of the Sioux cleaving his head
through TO the chin with aA axe.
The house occupied by the Sioux is about two
hundred fee, frcm the river. The Chippewa.
surrounded it, and to make their escape the Sioux
was compelled to run that distance, and wade
the river to the south bank, in the face of a con-
slant FIRE from their enemies. This they did
aided by the darkness of the night. with the loss
of one warrior, who was found dead by the CHIP
pe.as in the morning, on the south bark of the
stream. The Sioux left behind them two horses
/ in addition to the twelve stolen ones, and the
dead bodies of three of their warriors
! Mr.. M'Fetridge states tha; the residence o
Gov. WiIkie resembled a slaughter house on the
morning after the conflict. Five Chippewas ant
two Sioux were lying dead on toe foor, which
was covered with their blood The Sioux dit
not scalp the dead Chippewas in the house, no
mutilsse their bodies. The Chppewas was NOR
brutal; they cut up the bodies Of their foes, AM
| burned them.

of which is cherub. welding small mallet

Fifty feet above the dial is Colossal figure Of

slow step around behind Time, when out comes
an old man with a Inallet and places himself in

the old man deliberately strikes with much
power twelve times on the bell. He then
glides slowly behind Time, and the young man
again comes oat and takes bis position. ready
to do his duty when called upon by the ma-
