There is no couarf here We are all

This insulting accusation was received with
astonishment by the Indians at first. and then
they turning toward the bold man who had
dared to utter it with eyes burning with pas
sion, and yell Of defiance broke simultaneously
from them. But, without moving a muscle,
the courageous agent met their fery glances,
unquaied. De had changed tie tide of feel

The powerful voice of the white man now
struck upon the ears of the sayages with an
electric effect. and once more revulsion Of
feeling took place among them. The tempest
of angry passion was instantly subdued, and
their loud yels sank to low murnurs, while the
entire mass. as if impelled BY one common
sentiment, moved together to the other side of
the street, and raising their faces to where the
brave officer was standing seemed TO await his
further orders.
That is well my friends :" cried he "Now
let every brave man follow me. The couards
may remain behind and secure their plunder g"
So saying, the Colonel descended from his
elevated position, and then led them TO the
common beyond the town, where mounting a
stump he detained them with good naturcd
harangue, while he sent of to the commissary's
store for a barrel of whisky. When it arrived
he invited the Indians to drink.
The barrel was soon emptied. and another
and another still, was sent for till under the
mellow influence of the strong water, the fiery
warriors forgot their late excitement, and by
the prompt and determined action of this
brave white man were restrained from further
violence. Throughout the following night
however, there were frequently heard, amid the
drunken sounds, the threatening words of fire.
blood, scalps and plunder
But Col. Mckee had provided against fur
ther trouble from the discontented spirits among
the Indians, by selecting the sober warriors
and despatching two to each of the dwellings
of the citizens that had been most strongly
threatened. These fellows, wrapping them
selves in their blankets, stationed themselves
on the front door steps as a guard to protect
the inmates from any sudden outbreak of saw
age fury. Thus the energetic conduct of this
brave officer, on that critical occasion, saved
the city of Detroit from the torches of the saw
ages and its people from ndiscriminate slaugh-
ter. In a crisis one brave and clear-headed
man is worth many timid statesmen or coward

CORRECTLY STArED.--In the multitude of
false statements and ignorant misunderstand
ings of our national troubles on the part Of the
English press, it is refreshing to come upon a
plain statement Of a single case, made by the
London Star, of November 22d:
Pirate or privateer, Confederate or corsair,
the steamer Nashville, now lying in South
ampton waters, is hideous blemish upon our
nineteenth century civilization. A wild beast
or a bird Of prey is an object Of dread. but not
of abhorrcnce. The Nashville is both-a

CoLoRED SPEcrAcLEs.- Many persons who
have weak eyes wear colored spectacles when
they are positively injurious. On no account
should colored glasses be worn on dull day,
in the dusk Of the light. The reasons for such
caution in the use of glasses are, that the pow
er of the eyes becomes impaired to endure
strong light by aceustoming them to the i'm
pFessions of feeble Examinations. Some per-
sons who have delicate organs may occasional
ly employ spectacles of lightly tinted glass for
reading and writing, but they should be avoid
ed if possible. Colored glasses are useful to
protect the eye from the brilliant reflection of
snow and the bright rays of the oxhyirogen
and electric light, and for this purpose they
should be deep green. Persons recovering
from inflammation of the eyes should also use
such glasses, but they ought to be laid aside
as soon as possible The eye should be accus-
toned to endure strong sunlight when not re-
flected from dazzling surfaces, such as bodies

Home sick.
BY MRS. GILDERsLIEvE.

Homesick for the waves low murmur,
By blue Eris's pebbled shore:
HOmesick for the vines that Chamber
Lovingly about ny floor;
Homesick for familiar faces,
That viii smile on me no more.
HOmesick for the days now ended,
Passed from sunshine into gloom;
Homesick in this stately palace,
Where fettered child l roam;
Homesick in the frescoed grandeur,
For my dear old cottage home.
Homesick for the silent voices
Tones whose melody has ceased;
Homesiek in this worldly bondage,
Struggling now to be released.
Homesick at this splendid banquet,
Longing for simpler feast.
Homesick for the dewy roses
Roses are not fragrant here;
Homesick for the stars above them
There they seem so very near,
Bending downward in the twilight:
Now they glitter far and drear.
Homesick in this tangled coiiing
Crested fate, compassionless,
Cannot hold the wild free crescent,
Backward sweeping. me to bless
With its deeper, stronger surgings,
Where my love lies fathomless.
And the arras Of the present
Lifts its foldings in my sleepl
And the blossoms, stars and loved ones
Watt me benedictions deep,
And the morning nor the real
Cannot clutch the kiss keep.
Necromancers weird and pitying
Take me back in dreams to DWELL
Soothe my lonely, homesick spirit
String the lutte and mend the shell;
And l sing. and sing and listen,
Under memory's subtle spell.

EXTRAORDINARY NosEs.-In St. Peters
bUrgh letter, Ross Browne describes a Compa-
ny of Russian military as having the queerest
noses he ever saw on a human countenance-a
kind of triangular nose, with the cone pointing
little upwards the base fastened on in the
usual way, and the nostrils staring you in the
face like the muzzle of a le-barreIled pis-
tol.

Wit and Wisdom of Jean Paul.

MOTT" Why is ?" said Hermoine,
that by night only is our memory aroused,
but also our hopes and our courage? ?" " Her
mone," answered I, &" at night the world TO
come draws nearer to the solitary breast, and
unfolds itself before US as the beauties of our
earth are veiled in darkness, but the Jewels of
the mind still radiate we are like that won
drous flower which blooms by night in the old
world, because it is then day in the new world,
which is its hour"
LovERs.-People who are in love with each
other, wonder that the third persons should
discover their sentiments. They fancy them
selves in a sort of Calypso's Island, and are
astonished when q strange sail is seen ap-
preaching the coast. There is, in point of fact,
10 paradise that has such low and thin fence
as this; every passer by can see through it.
MoRN1NG.-The morning gives our soil pini-
ons, which the day makes to droop; hence the
horses of Aurora, in the old mythology, were
winged, but not those of the god Of day.
WoMAy.-There is a heaven in woman's
heart, full of beauty, but dim; and it is hard
for man to count aud classify all the stars
that adorn it,
SrREANs.-A stream driving a mill is an
emblem of mans life; be flows on in his own
channel toward the ocean of immensity, yet
helps to keep in motion the machinery of the
world
FUrURTrY.-To the ardent spirit, the future
is an iceberg, which at a distance is brilliant
with shifting colors and rosy light, but when
it approaches, brings frost and destruction.
ExPsDIEScY.-The rule of acting, without
regard to consequences, is followed by two
classes, the confirmed wicked, and the rigidy
virtuous.
LOVE AND ASGER-'The rainbow Of peace
never rises on our hearts in all its beauty, till
a storm has cleared the atmosphere. We are
incapable of uninterrupted love, without cold
ness quarrels and reconciliation.
AUTHoRs-There are few powerful authors
who punish their readers. like the Roman ty-
rants of old, by depriving them of sleep but
most writers are too benevolent to act thus.
COUNTERFEIT SILVER DoLLARs.-We have
seen within the last week new counterfeit
silver dollar, made in imitation of the Mexican
dollar. The public should be on their guard
as If is very hard TO detect them they are so
perfect an imitation, being very heavily covered
with silver The best way is to bore a hole
in the coin and apply the proper acids, when
the " bogus will show itself The counter
feits are said to be manufactured By Cinnamon.
