Observation-Disclosures,

Home, beyond comparison, is the abode
of all the graces, not the least attractive
of them being those intellectual ones
which relieve the domestic intercourse of
the inevitable sameness that occurs when
they are not present. Music certainly
lends enchantment to the brightest of fire
sides; but from the brilliancy of its ema-
nations it is apt to pail upon the sense Of
enjoyment. 1t does more than cheer-it
inebriates. 1t one moment lifts the indig-
nation above its natural level, at another
lulls into a soothing lethargy; but rarely
makes it cool, rational or mirthful. 1t is
an excitement that requires intervals of
indulgence to the healthful of the system.
When prolonged, its influence holds the
brain prisoner, and for time units it for
other, and in degreeAot less harmonious
sensations for the mind has an appetite
swell as the body, and may be o'ercloyed
with nectarine sweets. Music, then, is a
mental stimulus, which, to be apprecia-
ted, must be only received occasionally i;
but when blended with conversation, the
objection that has been started is immedi-
ately removed. In conversation, howev-
er lies the greatest charm of a thoughtful
mind. 1t is SO winning, yet sensible-so
instructive and yet so elegant-that its
facination is like spell cast over the hu-
man being to invigorate the functions of
the brain, and rouse into activity every
pure emotion of the heart. There is
nothing in the world like it, except love !;
and as that divine passion would be moth
ng without it, they may be considered in
separable. Commend us to conversation,
for it improves, adorns and sanctifes, and
in no place is more delightful than by the
fre-side of an agreeable-tempered and in
telligent family group. There it is mu'
sic-and music as heart thrilling and as
warming as any that was ever warbled
from the soft lips of the most accomplished
songstress. @

the poles remaining about six feet in length.
Three or four Indians, by turns, would
take up, individually, one of these burn
ing pieces of wood, and apply it to his
naked body, already black with powder.
These tormentors presented themselves on
every side of him with the burning fag-
goIs and poles. Some of the squaws took
broad boards, upon which they would
carry quantity of burning Goals and hot
embers and throw ON him, SO that in a
short time he had nothing but Goals and
fire and hot ashes to walk upon. Il
Colonel Crawford, at this period ef
his sufferings, besought the Almighty to
have mercy on his soul, spoke very low,
and bore his torments with the most manly
fortitude. He continued in all the ex
tremities of pain for an hour and three
quarters or two hours.longer, as near as
| can Judge, when, at last, being almost
exhausted, he lay down. They then
scalped him, and repeatedly threw the
scalp in my face, telling me that was my
great Captain An old squaw got a
board, took parcel of Goals and ashes,
laid them on the back of his head, after
he had been scalped. He then raised
himself upon his feet and began to walk
round the post. They next put burning
stick to him, but he seemed more insensi-
BILE to pain than before"
Doctor Knight was then removed and
did not see him die, but subsequently saw
his bones. He was himself condemned
to die in the same manner, at a distant
place, but escaped from his guard and
made his way back to the settlements, to
tell the horrid tale. Colonel Craw ford S
son and son-in-law were burned at the
Shawnese town.
Thus the Indians obtained terrible
retaliation for the unprovoked and wanton
murders of their innocent brethren. And
who shall blame them for espousing the
cause of those whose religious scruples
would not allow them to defend them
selves ? We may, perhaps, blame them
for their subsequent cruel deeds, but We
are justly bound, at the same time, to take
into consideration the fearful provocation,
and remember that they at least were un-
enlightened savages, who only executed
the savage laws by which they were gov
erned When Christians turn savages
have they a right to complain of being
dealt with in the same manner?

COLONEL CRAWF0RD'S DISASTER.
A HISTORICAL SKETCH.
BY EMERSON BENNETT.
TFrom the New York Ledger.l

As early as the years 1861 and 1852,
a few pious, noble minded men conceived
the idea of civilizing, humanizing, and
Christianizing the barbarous savages of
the West, and two noble disciples of the
Great Master-Frederick Post and John
Acknowledgement among them for the
purpose. Others followed these glorious
pioneers, and three regular stations on
the Tuscarawas river, in the eastern part
of Ohio, with quite number of Indian
converts of both sexes, were the result of
their labors. These stations, besides their
hutten and Salem, were more generally
known as the Moravian missions or towns,
and their converted inhabitants as the
Moravian Indians. These wilderness ma
tives, from different tribes, under the
teachings, preachings and practices of
the good missionaries, strove to become
learned and exemplary Christians, and to
carry out their new doctrine and faith,
they became, like the Quakers, nom
resistants. When the war of the Revolu-
ton broke out, these poor Indians were
placed between two fires. The warlike
whites abused them because they were
Indians, and the warlike sayages called
them squaws and towards because they
would not take up arms against the Ameri-
cans, while both parties alike robbed and
plundered them with impunity.
But, oh thousand times worse than
this-and to the shame of civilization be
it spoken-a band of white wretches-a
band of ungodly robbers, cut-throats and
assassins-we can find no milder epithets
to suit the ruffians-a band of white
wretches, we say, numbering a hundred,
dignifed by the name of volunteer mill
tia, and commanded by a Colonel Will
hanson, boldly marched against these
few pious, unresisting red men, and, after
deceiving them with the most damnable
lies, telling them they were their friends,
who had come to conduct them to Fort
Pitt, (now Pittsburgh, Pa, where they
would in future be protected and cared
for, and having by this means got them
collected together to the number of ninety
four men, women and children, did then
and there-What? We blush to record
it, for this company of volunteer militia
were American settlers of Western Penn
sylvania and Western Virginia, and God
forgive us as a nation if we have many
such fendish bands among us
But what did they do? We will tell
you.
They first disarmed their unsuspecting
victims, then bound them, then penned
them up in two houses, and then delibe
rately. in cold blood, with guns, spears,
tomahawks and sca'ping- knives, butcher
ed them in detail-shot, stabbed and
Drained them, one by one-paen, women
and children the poor Indians the while

SOME THINGS LOVE ME.
BY T. BUCHANAN READ.

BY T. BUCHANAN READ.
All within and all without me
Feel melancholy thrill;
And the darkness hangs about me,
o, how still
To my feet the river glideth,
u Through the shadow, sullen, dark:
On the stream the white moon rideth,
Like barque-
Aud the linden leans above me,
Till think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me,
Even me.
Gentle flowers are springing near me,
Shedding sweetest breath around;
Countless voices rise to cheer me,
From the ground;
And the lone bird comes-I hear it
In the tall and windy pine,
Pours the sadness of its spirit
Into mine;
There it swings and sings above me,
Till think some things there me,
In this dreary world that love me,
Even me.
Now the moon hath foated to me,
On the stream I see it sway,
Swinging boat-l like, as 'twould woe me,
Far away;
And the stars bend from the azure,
I could reach them where lie.
And they whisper all the pleasure
OF the sky.
There they hang and smile above me,
Till think some things there be,
In the very heavens that love me,
Even me.
Now, when comes the tide of even,
Like solemn river-sow,
Gentle eyes akin to heaven g-
On me glow
! Loving eyes that tell their story, 5
Speaking to my heart of heart;
But l sigh, ga thing OF glory
Soon departs !''
Yet, when Mary fades above me,
I must think that there viii he,
One more thing in heaven to love me,
Even me.
