Considerable has becu said ahou.
Booth, the ..ssassiu's. habit Of getting
excited, or so carried away bv the
character he was personatinr upon the
stage, as to make 81 real, instead OF

of one instance in that city. in L!,

INDIAN LEGEND.-The following
Indian legend, relative to the spirit
home of Washington, is extracted
from Morgsn's Leageee Of the hoquois.
It is curious, as showing: the estimation
in which the Father of his Country
was held by this singular people:
Among the modern beliefs engraft-
ed upon the ancient faith OF the
lroquois, there is Que which is worthy
OF particular notice. it relates to
Washington. According to their pre-
Sent belief no white man ever reached
the Indian heaven. Not having been
created by the Great Spirit, no pro-
vision Was made for him in their
schemes Of theology. He. was ex-
c!uded both from Heaven and the
place of punishment But All excep-
tien was made in favor Of Washing.
ton. Because of his Justice and be
l.evolence & The fndia!,, he s.o3i
pre- eminent above all other white men.
When. in the year 1888, the Indians
were abandoned by the British allies,
and left to make their own terms with
sae American Government, the lro-
qao;s were more exposed to severe
measures than the other tribes in their
c.i;ance: At This critical moment
Washington interfered in their behalf,
AS the protector Of Indian rights, aud
the advocate of y policy toward them,
CT the most enlightened justice and
llGmanity.
After his death he was mourne,l by
the lroquois as a benetactor of their
race, aud his memory WAS cherished
with reverence ami affection. A belief
was spread among them that the
Great Spirit had received, in. celes-
tlal residence, upon the plains of
Heaven, the only white man whose
deeds had entitled him to the heavenly
favor. Just by the entrance Of Heaven
IS wall enclosed, the ample grounds
Of which are laid with avenues and
shaded walks. Within is spacious
mansion. constructed in the fashion of
a tort. Every object that coul please
cultivated taste has been gathered in
his blooming Eden to- render it
Aappy dwelling place for the immortal
Washington. The faithful Indian, as
ne enters Heaven, passes the enclosure.
lie sees the illustrious inmate as he
wa''Ss to and fro in quiet meditation.
But no word passes his lips. Dressed
in his uniform, and in perfect state
Of felicity, he is destined to remain

pared for him by the Great Spirit

No will take up other questions, and
dispose Of :hem as they arise. Who
could have anticipated three years ago
that we would have progre ssed thus
far? Let US, like wise men, hold our
selves in readiness to manage the new
questions which may arise in the
future. There IS no need Of giving
ourselves trouble prematurey.

Go home, not. as rivals, but as
friends, resolved to save the State and
wipo out slavery. To do this is
enough for one man to live for. A
life spent in accomplishing result like
this is well spent. Though some for
awhile may sneer, the time will come
when the nation will be utterly aston
ished that this great monopoly has
been submitted 20 so long Let no
man, them. delude himself with the
dream, the vague hope, that he still
holds on to slavery; let him cut the
cord at once, and he Will feel. a great
deal easier
Nor let any man suppose that I
think that any portion Of the popuace
shoald be turned forth as oafers, with
out work. The sooner we get out of
this transitier state, which is always
the worst, The better tor us, the better
for the negroes. In five years from
now the labor Of the Liack man will
be more productive than ever for
freedom simply means liberty to work
aud enjoyment of the product OF ones
labor. Let US try to comprehend the
times in which we live, and the great
prir ciples which are at work. There
is a breaking up Ct old combinations,
and men are comiag together by their
natural affinities. Old parties are dis
integratingf and new ideas, thrown out
among men Of mnd, form the. basis of
new Pars!es.,
Here is the great contest Of philau-
thropy, of sound reason. of humanity,
whose foundation Is the Christian re-
ligion; a bow of promise, whose base
rests upon the horizon and whose span
arches the universe
In the midst of the darkness which
has been resting on the land for four
years-a darkness deeper than that of
the dark ages-from you, sitting in the
midst Of carnage and death, has gone
forth light to illuminate the world.
and teach mankind that you can be
free. feel that God smiles on what
you have done, and that it meets the
appreciation of the hosts that surround
HIM. Oh, how it contrasts with the
shriells, and the cries and wailincs
Which the institution of slavery has
brought on the land! Look along the
battle-felds of Tennessee, ut the new
made graves; witness your countrymen
perishing in battle; see even the God
dess Of Liberty, struggling through
desolation, carnage and blood, and al
most driven from our borders! Might
I not say with the poet
10. bloodiest picture in. the book of time!'
And yet, out Of all this gloomy
scene leans light to illuminate the
world in future years. As your fellow
citizen, who expects in some Of your
valleys to deposit his bones. l thank
you again for the noble work which
you have done.

In DR.. Piper's work on the trees
of America we find a suggestion,

she ascended the throne, planted with
her own hau1 an oak at Chatsworth.
In our country, where all are born

long, every lady vii! deem it her
duty to initiate Ensland's Queen in
this, and plant at least one tree. When
our ladies shall 90 this, then will the
work be done, and thronghou5 our

they would be beautiful. 1t is to

How charming, how poetical it would
be, If we were to be so indebted to the
gen!ler sex for national reform in
this respect, that the first thought on
seeing a beautiful tree would lie enc
of grateful homage TO woman. We
refer our fair reader to DR.. Piper's
magnificent work fer some admirable
reasons for valuing trees, their utility
and necessity to the farmer, as we'll as
their beauty. The portraits of remark
able trees given in this work, are in
the highest style of art, and nobiy call
culated to inspire taste for this crowning G
glory Of nature.
In tie island Of Goa, near Bombay,
there is singular vegetable, called
the sorrowful tree. because it only
flourishes in the night. At sunset no
flowers are to be seen, and yet after
half an hour it is full Of them. They
yield a sweet smell, but tho sun no
sooner begins to shine upon them
than, some Of them fall off, and others
close up, and others continue Towering 6
in the night during the whole year.
1t will surprise many Of our readers
to know the great age to which
several varieties Of trees attain. Among
those whose ages have been ascertain
ed, the elm has been known to live
more than $50 years; the chesnut GOO;
the cedar 500; oaks from 1000 to

tropical cImes for three, four and five
thousand years.
