Praised be the Lord Of might,
Our rock in all alarms;
by whom we'er taught 10 6ght,
And triumph by our arms;
Our strength, our guard. our tower,
In whom our safety lies,
Source Of all strength and power,
Whom heaven and earth obsys.
Thy heavenly help extend. Z
In this our time Of voc;
Our lives thy power defend
From our blood-thirsiy foe.
Lord, bend the arched skies
On wings Of wind come dosn,
And make 6erce storms arise,
And blast them with Thy fIown.
Bright flames from out the sky,
Lord. iet thy power command,
And let thine arrows ay.
And drive them from our land.
Then in glad songs TO thee
VIII we exsk our voice,
And our bless land be free.
And In our God rejoice.
To thee, o Lord. we pray,
Thy truth and cause preserve;
And save from al dismsy
Those who thee truly serve.
Grant, Lord, our humble quest,
Then shall no foes alarm,
Nor trumPets break our rest
With fear Of deadly harm.
Thrice blessed. Lord, are they
On whom such blessings ail.
Thrice blessed, blessed they.
Who God their God DO call.

DANCED HIMSELF TO DEArn.-O Sat-
urday evening the 9Th inst, by invitation
a large number Of German citizens of
this vicinity we're assembled at the house
Of Mr.. Joseph Veit, about mile from
Chaska. The programme of the evening
was, as is usual in Western settlements,
singing, dancing, lager beer drinking, &c,
&c. During the course OF the evening,
a man by the name OF Joseph Bower,
living on the Glencoe road came in with
his wife and joined with his friends in
making merry until late hour Sunday
morning. He he had retired from the
dancingroo,u and was RECALLING himself on
lager, when with the expression on his
tongue that he would live while he did
live, and that he was bound to have a
good time, he sauntered into the ballroom
and commenced dancing as we'll as man
could who was more than ''three sheets in
the wind "A few minutes suticed to
bring him to the floor, when the giddy
tbrong thinking rim only little "funny''
amused themselves by dancing around and
over him and pulling around the room.
1t was not soon discovered that the mar,
was dyin-, but when he failed for time
to move, those dancing in the room by a
more minute examination found that he
was not 50 very "funny'' but had about
spent his last breath. The scene was
changed; and gaiety and festivity we're
soon turned to panic and mourning. The
man was carried from the ballroom, and
lingering but few minutes, died The
only cause assigned is that beer and whis-
Ky were too plenty. Valley Herald lltA,

Orphan Children.

Clara II. Davies, Superintendent Of the
City Orphan Asylum Of Cincinnati, has
written u kind, christian letter Offering a
ho:ne, in that Asylum, to the children
made orphans by the late Minnesota Mas
saeres. We cannot think it will be nee
cssary or proper to accept this offer
There are plenty VI families in Minnesota
10 adopt all tho children so left. With all
her trouble Minnesota is prosperous, has
plenty Of room and plenty of bread for
Ill her children aud needs them. Why
should We send them thousand miles
ANY,, Into less healthy climate to be
brought up by public charity as city pau
pcrs? God forbid! It will be lasting
shame 70 the people of our State to suffer
such thing. If those having charge Of
destitute children will let us know, We
think homes, good homes can be found for
them here, in the Northern part Of the
State. Let the papers Of the State appeal
to the citizens, or rather advertise the
fact Of children needing homes, and the
names Of the parties who may be address
ed to find them and our word for 1t none
Of them will have occasion to become Il
city pauper in any State. We should
about as lief drown child as leave him or
her to be brought up in an Orphan Asy-
)um, and taught to cxhibi. his requirements
and sing begging songs for living. For
Gods sake give our destitute children
homes in families where they will be
caught to work, perhaps be abused, Tut be
accustomed to the ordinary forms of life,
act taught to regard themselves as sepa-
rate md isolated class having nothing in
common with the world around them.
Our heart has never ached for ragged
and neglected children in the streets. as
for tie u.iiormed little whining manikins
we have seen on drill in Orphan Asylums.
Send them to Jail or States Prison, Or
turn them out like the "Babes Of the
Wood" and let the birds bury them, but
don't send them to an Orphan Asylum.

The Sioux Indians.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.

.. ,-. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.
Senator Wilkinson of Minnesota arrived
here TODAY, and had an interview with the
President and Commissioner Dole with regard
to punishment Of Indians concerned in the
recent massacres and condemned to death by
military authorities. He is understood to
protest strongly against. the efforts being made
by Quakers and others to have the Indians par
doued, and TO insist that nothing but hanging
the leaders will give any security for the good
conduct Of these Indians in future. Es}a
1t is suggested that the President is likely to
adopt middle course Of executing sentences
on dozen or So of,he worst cases. and pardon
the remainder. - tEl5 -atf&tG.G ~

There is no doubt that the facts are
substantially true concerning the 800
Sioux Indians which Gen. Pope has SELL
fenced to death. The President has had
an interview with the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs at Washington, which has
resulted iu his sending Mr.. Usher out to
Minnesota to see about the matter. The
Minnrsotians are so en:aged at these In
ans on account of the unparalleled atrocity
of their murders, that they insist on hang
ing them. The President has pretty we'll
determined that only the ringleaders
should be executed.
We most earnestly hope that the mas

not disciplinary is diabolical, to assert it.

not be justly judged by the standard Of a

that the strongest religious aud humane

pressure from Minnesota, and that some-

with barba,ism will be done in the prelni.

horrible, says the Commonwealth, it is
