continued. When it is considered that;it
is only question of time and expense to
obtain any treaty from any of the Indians
that may be desired; that the money ex-
pended for the object is not often paid
to those who are most deserving; that
the Indians are not regarded as having
the ability to protect themselves in the
common dealings among men; that they
are the wards Of the government-it ap-
pears to me to be quite absurd for the
government to bargain with them for
lands to which they have no title
The time is now at hand when these
tribes will perish if their habits Of life
are not changed. Their only hope Of ex-
istence is in becoming agriculturists,
and it is to be considered whether sound
policy iu this respect does not require that
all the efforts of the government shall be
given in that direction. Money annuities
should cease to be paid to them to any
extent; the bounties of the government
should be bestowed in clothing, food, and
agricultural implements, the building of
houses, the employment of instructors in
all branches of labor in which they are
capable of being improved; and such sys-
tenn should be adopted as would necessar-
lily compel them to labor.

IS THE BIRTH or THE LILY.,

In the Continental Mdgaziae for February is n
a singular bit of blank verse entitled, THE
Birth of the Lily in which we find these beau
tiful passages
"Onc by one
The beasts anG birds of Paradise came down,
With nolseless movement to the waters edge,
And waited on the margin. Creatures huge,
With honest, liquid eyes, and those that stepped
With cushioned feet and teathcred football, stole
About the brink, with all the tribe that gave
The forest life. The serpent reared its crest.
Not yet polluted with the valleys dust,
And stood like one with royal gems encrOwned:
While beast, and bird and serpent turned to
gaze
Upon each other with cnquiring eyes.
And halfbewl,iered glance.
''Tlen last of all
Came Eve with Adam 10 the circing rim,
Her fingers graspin% roses. and her lip
All beautiful with Loves own witchery.
She stood and noted with adlnirine look
The strength of Adams form, the expansive
chest,
The sloping muscle. and the sinew knit,
The firm athletic limb, and every grace
Combined and joined in that first. perfect man.
Then Eve, grown humble in her wOndrOus love
Of Adams beauty. knelt upon the turf,
While her long hair fell down in shining waves,
And pressed her lip upon his dew washed feet !:
Then with her agitatcd fingers broke
The foxgloye pitcher from the stem, ,and stopped
To fill it up for him: but quickly drew
Her pearl-white hand away from the still lake,
And held it DER her heart, with such look
Ofawe and mystery, as if spell
Was Oh the water that she dared not break.
So all was hlshed and waiting: when, behold .
A flash Of gold shot from the silver East,
A Sush OF new perfume spread through the
grove.
The rose dropped lower, and the impatient
birds.
Looscd from restraint, sang in a strain refined
OF dulcct clcarless. such as those young bowers
Had never heard before. The beast crouched
down
Upon the velvet turf. the serpents crown
Flashed richer splcnior ard the angel-guard
Whose fearful sword cleaned 10y the Tree of
Life,
Ills very piumeS were trcinulOus with joy.
Then Eve looked DER the swelling wave
and, 10 .
The lake was ovcrspre,id with blooming stars,
Or snowy golden ceutered cups, that rocked
And spilled the choicest incense Adam cried,
The Lily but the sweet voice ut his side,
Grown trcmuious and faint with over.oy.
Could only whisper. 'Purity.'"

Suba Dan--A Story OF California
Profanity.

The Editors Drawer OF the Uopers'
-HnGagine for February contains the fol-
lowing California story, which inculcates a
subtle warning against profanity:
In the northern part of this State is q
stream called Iuba river. Across it some
enterprising individual built d bridge and
Oh the banks somebody else built three or
four houses. The inhabitants called the
place Yuba Dam. Three bars were in
stantly erected, and the town increased
rapidly. About noon one cool day q trav-
eler and & soiourner in the land passed this
tlourishing locality, and seeing long-leg-
ged specimen o. humanity in red shirt
smoking before one o. The bars, thus al
dressed him
"llello -
Hello - replied ;he shirt, with vigor,
removing the pipe from his mouth.
"What place is this:" demanded the
traveller, whose name vas Thompson.
The answer Of the shirt was unexpected:
"Yuba Dam
There Nas ABOUT fifty yards between
them, and the wind was blowing Mr.
Thompson thought he had been mistaken.
what did you say" he inquired
, ''Yuba Daln,' replied the stranger,
cheerfully.
"What place is tkis:" roared Mr..
Thompson.
& YU-ba Dam" said the shirt in slight
ly elevated tone Of voice
Lookee here!n yelled the irate Thomp-
son; asked YOU politely what place this
was; why in thunder don't you answer %
The stranger became excited. lie rose
and replied with the voice Of an eighty
FOUNDER:
a" Yu-ba-'inne! Do you hear that?"
In minute Thompson, burning with the
wrath of the righteous, jumped off his
horse and advanced on the stranger with
an expression not to be mistaken The
shirt arose and assumed a posture of offence
and defence.
Arrived within ayar1 Of him, Thompson
said
al ask of you, for the last time, What
place is this?''
Putting his hands to his mouth, his op
pOnent rOared:
Z" fu-bd-tlum!"
The next minute they were at it. First
Thompson was down; then the shirt ant
then it was -fall-that is, both wer'
down. They rolled about. kicking up :
tremendous dust. They squirmed arount
so energetically that you'd have though
they had dozen legs instead of four. /
looked like prize-fight between two pu
gilistic centipedes. Finally they botl
rolled off the bank and into the river. Th'
water cooled them. They went down to
gether, and came up separate, and put ou
for the shore. Both reached it about tn,
same time, and Thompson scrambled VI
the bank, mounted his warlike steed, ant
made tracks, leaving his foe gouging tn
mud out Of one OF his eyes.

Having left the business portion of the
town, that is to say, the corner where the
three bars were kept, he struck a house in
the suburbs, before which little girl OF
four years of age was playing.
"What place is this, Sissy ?" he asked.
The girl, frightened at the drowned-rat
figure which the stranger cut, streaked it
for the house. Having reached the door
she stopped, turned and squeale', 900

Good Heavens!" said Thompson, dig
ging his heels between his horses ribs
"Good Heavens! let we get out of this
horrid place, where not only the men but
the very babes and sucklings swear at in
offensive travellers!''

MINNESOTA ITEMS.

Mg ABRAM HANsCoM, of Minneapolis,
while engaged in numbering in the Rum
River Pineries, was struck upon the head
by the limb of falling tree, causing
fracture of the skull. He was removed to
Anoka for medical attendance, but ON
Tuesday, soon after reaching there, died.
Deceased leaves wife and three children.
THE Anoka Republican, alluding to JOE
WHEELocK's insinuations against the hon
esty of Hon DWIGHT WOODBURY., says:
| The editor of the Press will have to give
| more convincing proof than the fact that Mr..
| Woodbury. voted against him for State Printer,
before satisfying the people OF this section Of
! his dishonesty. Ii he had voted tor the Press
| Company, after the exposure of the frauds
| committed by that concern in the printing of
last year, there would be cause tor suspicion
against him, but as the matter stands, his con-
stituents in this region are satisfied with his
course.
4 MAN named E. J. Williams was fined
50 the other day, in Chatfield, and placed
under bonds for his good behaviour during
the term of one year, for whipping his
wife.
INDIAN TROUBLEs.-Mr. Anorelius, an
intelligent Swede residing ut Cambridge,
called at our Office this week and informed
us that band of Chippewa Indians, num-
berlng about seventy, are committing
numerous depredations in that neighbor-
hood. In addition to minor offenses,
such as stealing, he states that after hav-
ing a friendly conversation with one OF
them, and as he was leaving, the Indian
drew up his gun and fired, one shot strik-
ing him in the leg He also mentions Wit
Messing another outrage, where five In
dams fired upon three white men. Thsis
a matter requiring investigation, and if
this statement should prove to be true,
Gen. Sibley should station company of
soldiers in that locality to attend to the
pagans. ReDubiicm
TIE Chatfield Uemocrm states that Mr.
Michael Morrison, very worthy man, was
badly injured on Tuesday last by a large
tree falling upon him while engaged in
chopping wood some three miles above
that place. Both legs were broken in two
places, and one ankle crushed in shock

body Of the tree in two before Mr.. M.

our friend James Horner has been christ

From the ST. Loui. Republican,.
AS Brigadier General George D.
Bayard, who SO gallantly gave up his
life for his country at Fredericksburg, was
well known in this city, it will painfully
interest his friends to know what were his
dying thoughts and expressions. The fol-
lowing, addressed to an officer of the reg
ular army, now in St. Loris, was dictated
by the dying General to his Aid-de- Camp,
and has since been received by the gentle
man for whom it was intended:
Headquarters TWO MrEs)
BELOW FREDERICKsBUR,;,~
Dec. II, 1862 O'Clock \. NJ.
DEAR -: In q few hours ! shall be no
more, bnt ere l bid adieu to earth, l must
thank you, my dearest friend, for all that YOU
have done for me. Give my love to General
Mcclellan. 1t is my only regret that it was
not under him that died. Give my love to all
my friends, and now, dearest, -, good bye.
Yours atfectionately,
GEORGE D. BAYARD.
He desired to dictate letters of farewell
to other friends, but became too weak
from loss Of blood to do SO. This touch
ing memento of brave and able young
General, it will be seen, is another evi-
dence of the affection and esteem our
most patriotic officers and soldiers enter
tain for the late leader of the Army of the
Potomac.

On Saturday, the 25th ult., an affray

The Wheeling InteHigeace'' !says Of
the newly-elected United States Senator:

Judge Boyden is the uncompromising friend
and advocate of the federal Union, without
compromises. To it he is loyal without pro-
