Indian Justice,

Many years ago, when q gentleman
from the central part of New Hampshire
was in the Pequawket country, attending
to his property near the village OF Frye
burg, company of Indians from the PEN
obscot tribe came there for a temporary
abode, and pitched their tents on an ele-
walton near the Saco river. In passing to
his lands, he noticed squaw kneeling to
pick strawberries, and creeping to differ
cut parts of the patch that furnished the
fruit. Her attitude struck him as siugu-
lar; but he concluded she took that pos.
ture as most convenient for the purpose.
On his return she had disappeared, and
he supposed had gone to sell berries
But as no approached the settlement, he
observed the unusual sight of an Indian
carrying squaw on his back A nearer
view showed him the person whom he saw
in the strawberry field. After having
witnessed the occurrence several times, on
inquiry Of the Indians as to the cause of
this action, one Of them replied :-"He
bad Indian. He drink much Soccapee.-
lie drunk, and Cheepie (deviD get in
him. Then he put squaws feet in fire.
They burn off," As he looked he saw
they were crippled and useless. The tribe
resented the cruelty, and its council we're
about to decide on his immediate execu-
ton. But one of che elder and wiser of
the number interposed his opinion, and
gave this advice :-"No shoot; make
him live long as squaw live; make him
carry squaw, when she want walk when
squaw die, then shoot"
The decision was in accordance with
this counsel, and thus secured to the 10.
jured woman perpetual kind treatment
from her husband The fact of his own
death as soon as she died, made him care
full to preserve her health and life and
the punishment Of bearing her as his con-
staut burden, as well as the compelled at
tention to her welfare, formed striking
example of the retributive shrewiness Of
"Indian Justice"

RRANDRETH'S FILLS.

THE Weak, tho Consumptive, Rheuma-
4 tic, Coslive, Bilious and Delicate, after
some days use will find renewed strength
and life pervade every organ of their
frames.
Every dose makes the blood purer.-
Tine nerves commence in the arteries and
terminate in the veins. These pills, as
first effect, acl upon the arte'ial blood, in
creasing the circulation, by which impuri-
ties are deposited in the veins, and they
throw off such collections into the bowels,
which organs, by the energy derived from
Brandrelh's Pills, expel them from the
system. When first used, the Pills may
occasion gripping and even make the pa
tent feel worse This is an excellent
sign, and shows the disease will soon lie
cured. No great good is often achieved
without some trouble in its attainment,
and this rule applies to the recovery o!
health.

Ye Candidates Grindstone.

A neighbor of Colonel Baker, the war
rior statesman of Windham, tells the fol-
lowing story -
The Colonel's old grindstone, which
had long done good service on the farm,
having become pretty we'll worn down, he
bought and brought home nice new one.
A poor neighbor conceiving that the VEN
cradle colonel could have no use for too
stones, bnt could get along very we'll with
one, asked him to give him the old one
The proposal, however, was not eagerly
embraced, but was, on the contrary, posi-
lively negatived. An effort to buy the
stone also failed, owing to disagreement
between them regarding the price; and
the man having asked for the stone, and
been given decidedly cold shoulder,
went away exceedingly sorrowful
A day or two after the colouel's nomi-
nation for Congress, he fell in with his
neighbor, and after shaking hands and in
quiring after each member of the indepen.
dent electors's family, he took occasion to
say, in the most friendly manner
"By-the.by, you was speaking to me
the other day about an old griudstone of
mine. l don't know as shall want it for
anything if it will do any good you can
take it along with you any time when you
are going by. 1t lies out there by the
wood-pile."
The colonel paused to receive the warm
thanks which he felt that his noble con.
duet deserved, but was trifle set back by
the following blunt response
"Better keep it yourself, colonel ;
you've got more axes to grind than l
have"

The MOTHER --Despise not thy moth
er when she is old. Age may wear and
waste a mothers beau y, strength, limbs,
senses, and estate; but her relation as
mother is as the sun when he goes forth
in his might, for it is always in the meri-
dian, and knoweth no evening. The per.
son may be gray-headed, but her mother
ly relation is ever in Its flourish. 1t may
be autumn, yea winter, with woman, but
with the mother it is always spring
Alas ! how little do we appreciate a moth
er's tenderness while living! How heed
less are we in youth of all her anxieties
and kindness! But when she is dead
and gone-when the cares and GOODNESS of
the world come whitening to our hearts
when We experience how hard it is to find
true sympathy-how few love US for our
selves-how few will befrieud us in mis-
fortune then it is that we think of the
mother we have lost.

sg- We were lying near Brandy Sta.
ton last winter, and the officers Of our
staff endeavored to relieve the eanm of
camp life by frequent visits to the fair Sc
cesh maidens of the surrounding country.
On' ] # our staff became quite enamored of
a young lady in Culpeper, more noted for
her secession ideas than Tor her beauty
Gu one of his visits she requested tho
loan of some books, and the next day he
sent over parcel containing, among other
books, Victor Hugo's "Les Miselables."
TO his surprise the orderly returned with
the books, and message from the fair
one that she "didn't want any of bis nasty
Yankee trash"
Not exactly understanding it, lie rode
over in the evening to inquire what was
wrong. The young lady's eyes flashed as
she demanded to know how be dared to
insult her by sending her book about
"Lee's Miserabes.' She knew that Gen.
eral Lees n.en wern't as we'll dressed as
the Yankees, but they weren't miserable
one bit, and it was all Yankee falsehood
TO say that they we're.

Fishing Extraordinary.

A Providence paper describes singu-
lar spectacle which was presented near
that city, in Little river, few mornings
ago:
A most singular spectacle was presented
at Little river, just above Daniels dam,
this morning. The river was full of suck
ers, slowly swimming, just on the surface
of the water, poklng their noses out, aud
(apparently) parting as though they were
troubled for breath. Many of them were
floating, dead. On the shore, on the Park
side, were crowds of men, women and
ehildrcn-especially children - catching
them in scoop-nets, in coal-sieves, in 6as.
kets tied to the end of poles, in wash -ba-
sins, and occasionally in the hands Of
some active youngster. In some places,
a rod from shore, ust out of the reach OF
the nets and buskets, the water was fairly
black with the fish. They were discover.
ed at daylight, and bushels Of them were
caught. Old gray-headed women were
dipping for them with clothes baskets !;
fathers of families were fishing with their

poles; en'erprisips youngsters waded in
aud scooped them out in hand-basins; and
swarms Of children, with almost as little
clothing as the angels, were there, to
watch the fun and help carry home the
pluuder.
The cause of the phen omena seems to
be a mystery. One story was that large
quantity of acid had been thrown into the
river another story was that slot of
uff'' from the brewery at the foot of
TrumbuIl street had been emptied into
the river, and the fishes were slight )"
still another, which sounded plausible,
that it was owing to peculiar telmenta-
tlou of the water, which is none of the
purest at this point, and, just now, has
little or no current. Running down the
river towards its mouth, they were stop

QUEEN OF Soors.--Her large, sharp
features might perhaps have been thought
handsome ratherthan beautiful, but for the
winning vivacity and high joyous spirit
which beamed through them. 1t has been
questioned whether her eyes were hazel or
dark grey, but there is no question as to
their starlight brightness. '
Her complexion, though fresh and clear,
would seem to have been without the bril-.
lance so common among our island beau
ties. Her hair appears to have changed
with her years from ruddy yellow to au-
burn and from auburn to dark brown or
black, turning grey long before its time.
Her bust was full and finely shaped, and
she carried her large, stately figure with
majesty and grace. She showed to ad.
vantage on horseback, and still more in
the dance. The charm of her soft, sweet
voice is described as irresistible E; and she
sang we'll, accompanying herself on the
harp, the virginals, and still ofteuer on
the lutte, which set off the beauty of her
long, delicate white hand.-Nemories of
Mary Queen of Scots.
