PRAYING.


When evenings shadows softly fall,
And all beside is still,
When sunsets mellow beam delays,
Upon the lonely hill,
I stand upOn the misty shore,
And gaze far out to sea,
The waves have each n tale to tell,
And then pray for thee.
When morning glimmers in the East,
With hope renewed rise,
The robin, wren and thrush's hymn,
Are filing all the skies;
And, sitting on the cold grey rocks,
My gaze is on the sea,
Still watching each far shining sail,
yearn and pray for thee.
Apd through the long, long golden day,
The stately ships go by,
Their starry pennants proudly foat
Against the quiet sky,
Some fold their weary wings to rest,
Some fade far out to sea,
And still with fond and fearful gaze,
1 watch and pray for thee.
My waiting heart is blest at last
Past grief is nought to me-
Earth seems heaven of bliss and love
This gracious day to me;
The happy ship that brings thee back
With tears / cannot see,
But now feel, as well may,
Ny prayers were heard for thee.

THE INDIAN CHIEFS REVENGE.

At the commencement Of the war in
Florida, there were among the Indians
many slaves, who had escaped from their
masters in Florida an Georgia and taken
refuge in the everglades and thickets with
the Indians. In most cases they were
more blood thirsty and desperate in their
attacks upon the whites than the aborigi-
nails themselves, and whenever a settle
ment was to be burned, or an outpost at
tackled, they always led the van, and if
successful, woe TO the man, woman or
child that fell into their power.
A powerful and athletic negro, nick
named Jim Bowlegs, from more than
ordinary curvature of his lower limbs,
had run away from his master, DR.. s.,
of st. Augustine, and joined the Indians
some three months before the war broke
out. He was by nature cruel and bloody
fellow, of great strength and most brutal
sensuality. Indeed the chief cause of his
flight was for attempting an unnatural
outrage upon defenseless white woman,
who was fortunately rescued when nearly
exhausted, by the approach of some men
who were drawn thither by her screams
for aid.
At Dade's massacre, a massacre that
will long be famous in the annals of the
Florida peninsula, Jim fired the first shot,
which killed the commanding officer, and
during the rest of the conflict, so gallant
ly maintained by the little band of one
hundred and twelve regulars, against a
thousand concealed Indians and negroes,
the prowess of Jim was conspicuous, and
his voice pealed the loudest in the war
whoop on that bloody. and fatal day.
When Passenger, the last surviving officer,
fell, Jim led the Indians over the tempo
rary breastwork, erected by the soldiers,
and his tomakawk Glove in twain many a
heart yet throbbing with life, for vain and
idle was the cry from the whites for quar-
ter.
BY his desperate valor and his cunning
on hundred occasions, Jim gained great
power over the Indian bands, and from
bis knowledge of the whites, and their
most defenceless locations, he was truly
an ally of no common Importance and
pretentions. But Jim's sensuality and
lust were destined to work his destruction
even from his Indian friends.
A Micanopy chief, called Grey Wolf,
had one fair daughter, about sixteen years
old, remarkable for her beauty. Jim's
brutal passions getting the better OF his
fears, he one day surprised the maiden
while gathering berries alone on the edge
of swamp, and by main force violated
her person. She escaped to her tribe, with
sobs and shrieks, related her melancholy
fate, and ther, like the Roman matron,
Lucretia, ended her life by plunging into
an adjoining lake, preferring death to sur
viving the loss of her virgin purity.
Among the Indians, no crime is consid-
cred so hideous and execrable as that Of
violating woman Of their tribe; no mat
ter who the criminal, their death is GER
tain. jim knew this and fed but the
warriors of his tribe were on his trail, and
they tracked him as the wolf tracks the
deer, until by sheer necessity he was
obliged to fly into the power Of bis enc
mics, the whites, by taking refuge in q
small advanced fort or stockade, occupied

THE Oh SUpPLY.-The question of
the ability Of the oil region to supply
continually the demand now made for pc
troleum is one which is discussed by those
interested in the production and trade of
the article. The wells which have been
sunk are found frequently to diminish in
production, aud the vicinity of other wells
is found also to diminish the productive
ness of old wells. From the frequent
striking of mud veins, it is assigned by
some that the oil supply is becoming ex-
hausted, and that these mud veins are
the bottom or bed of the deposit. Some
owners have found it advantageous, when
a well gives out, to sink it deeper, where
they find it yielding an additional quanti-
ty, which leads to the supposition that
there exists several superintendent layers
of the peculiar mineral from which petro-
leum is derived, and the oil may be pro-
cured at the depth of thousand feet, as
surely as it is at the depth of five hun
dred feet. This is matter which has
yet to be tested by experiment, but the
fact is highly important one as connect
cd with the permanent supply Of an arti-
Gle which has become so considerable an
article of trade.-iScientifc american.

PURIFIcATIoN OF SALr.--A prepara-
ton of salt, known as Duffield's Saginaw
Salt, is being put into market. BY a
process recently discovered every particle
Of iron, lime, magnosia and gypsum, which
are more or less present, is thoroughly
eradicated, thus placing il on level with
rock salt. The refuse salt, coming into
market under the name Of refuse No. l
and No. 2, used in sailing hides, can be
purified by their process so as to be
equal with the better quality, so that all
the product of the well can be thus saved
and rendered marketable. The invention
will save hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to the available wealth of Michigan.

by few U. s. dragons, and two or three
hundred Georgia volunteers. Jim was too
we'll known to receive any mercy from
those among whom he sought shelter; n
drum-head court martial was convened,
and closed with sentencing him to he
hung in tVo hours. After consultation
with his officers, Major H told Jim
that he would pardon him on the condi-
lion that he would pilot two hundred
picked men to the shelter of the tribo from
which he fled. To this he consented.
The night but one ensuing, two hun
dred volunteers issued from the stockade,
led by Jim, with file of men prepared on
the instant TO shoot him dead, if he led
them in an ambuscade.
The second morning after, at daylight,
they reached tho fastness of the Indians,
on the borders of lake Micanopy. The
attack was instantly commenced by the
soldiery, and bloody slaughter ensued,
for the tribe little suspected the discovery
of their retreat. One by one their war
riors fell, and their ammunition being
speedily exhausted, they were forced TO
use their bows and arrows, but two or
three warriors out of the many hundreds
that saw the morning light, in the course
of an hour, survived; one of these was
Grey Wolf.
Suddenly his eye glared with unwont-
ed lustre; from behind the shelter of
palmetto tree he beheld the negro jim;
the violater of his daughter was also the
betrayer of his tribe with terrific yell
he fitted his arrow in his bow and took
deadly aim. The barbed reed passed
with unerring precision into the heart of
negro. Jim leaped from the earth in ag-
ony, and fell on his back, dead With
one bound Grey Wolf was beside him,
his scalping knife passed around his skull,
he held aloft the bleeding scalp for an
instant, then gave his war whoop, plung-
ed into thicket, and was seen no more.
His revenge was accomplished.

From the latter point the Company are
to radiate lines all over the Great West.
The price hitherto demanded by tho
Western iomTelegraph Company, for
telegraphing from Chicago to New York,
has been 81 3S for each ten words. An
operator can easily in ten hours send 1000
words, or earn $5 so each day. Thus tel
egraphing has been placed out of the
reach of the great masses. The Union
line will obviatc this monopoly and make

storm which swept over Europe, on the

director of the meteorological observatory,
at Paris, from his own observation, and
that of Others sent him, became awere of
its approach. At half nm hour after
noon, Dec. lst, all the Atlantic part in
France were warned Of its coming. At
eight o'clock, next morning,!it reached the
north of France from England and Ireland
