A dog Of a pa!e-face came to my warriors
He gave them fre.water and made them
mad. Then he bribed them to do the
deed of blood, and led them on. He told
them that they should kill all in that
Wigwam but the pale maiden. She had
refused to become his .squaw; but he
would take her to the mountains and
make her his slave"
"Where is the pale maid 2" cried sew
eral voices p
Il have brought her back. [ can not
give you back your murdered ones, but
[ will give you the dead bodies of those
who murdered them, for [ have slain the
breakers of our treaty."
Mary now entered the circle, and was
received with the warmest greetings.
But the men asked:
"HaEe you killed the white man with
the other murderers 2" .-
"There is the pale-faced dog"
The Chief pointed to Barry, who at
tempted to escape, bat was secured, and
in ten minutes was hanging in the place
he had prepared for Hobart.
The blow was a severe one for all.
Poor Hobart suffered an an age of agony
II the few short hours Of that night, and
he could not readily recover from the
shock. His heart had been frozen; but
Mary, as his wife, warmed it into life

JUDGING CHARACTER By THE
HAIR. -t

Coarse black hair aud dark skin signify
great power of character, with a tendancy
to sensibility. Fine hair and dark skin
indicate strength Of character, along with
purity and goodness Stiff, straight black
hair and beard indicates a coarse, strong,
rigid and raightforward character. Fine
dark brown hair signifies tho comblna-
tion of ofcharacter. Flat, clinging, straight
hair, melancholy but extremely constant
character, Harsh, upright hair is the
aign of a reticent and sour spirit, stub
born and harsh character. Coarse, red
hair and Whiskers indicate powerful an
inal passions, together with a correspond
ing strength Of character. lAurburn hair,
with horld countenance, denotes the
highest order Of sentiment and intesity of
feeling, purity Of character, with the
highest capacity for enjoyment OF suffer
ing. Straight, even. smooth and glossy
hair denotes strength, harmony, and even
ness of character, hearty affections, clear
head and superior talents.
Fine, silky: supple hair is the mark Of
a delicate and sensitive temperament, and

of the owner, Crisp, curly hair indicates
a hasty, somewhat impe u3us and rash
character. White HAIR denotes lynn
phatic and indoient constitution and we
may add that besides these qualities,
there are chemical properties residing in
the coIoring matter Of the hair tube which
undoubtedly have some effect upon the
dispo ition. Thus red-haired people are
notoriously passionate. Now, red hair
is proved by analysis to contain large
amount Of sulphur, while very black hair
is colored with almost pure carbon. The
presence of these matters in the blood
points to peculiarities oftemperament and
feeling. which are almost universally as
sociat6d with them. The very way in
which the hair flows is strongly indicative
Of the ruling passions and incIihations and

a SERMON Cur SHoRT.-Many years
since, there lived in Virginia a Baptist
preacher named B. Though uned-
ucated, he was sound thinker and an
eloquent speaker, and no minister had o
more devoted flock. 1t was the custom,
the inelement season, to hold meetings at
the residence of members, and once or
twice during the winter, at the house of
the preacher. For many years, it was
observed that b neither preached
nor conducted the meetings, when held
at his house, but secured the services of
some neighboring minister. He was Of
ten pressed for an explanation without
success but finally, in response to the
opportunities Of some Of his flock gave
the following: "When [ was much
younger than now-in fact, not long after
the commencement of my ministrations
i held meeting at my own house. It
being customary for many of the congre-
CATION to remain for dinner, Mrs. B
sent our negro boy, Tim, to neighbor
Pauls for some butter. Tim returned
aud located himself, standing on one foot
at a time, on the outskirts Of the congre-
cation, Being we'll warmed up in my
sermon, thinking neither Of Tim nor his
errand, but only Of the most successful
mode Of pressing upon my hearers one of
my strongest arguments, [ demanded,
with all the energy in my power: And
what did Paul say:' Tim, at the top of
his little, squeaking voice, exclaimed, as
Tim only could have done: "He thed
you couldn't git any more butter till you
paid for what you'd got p This brought
down the house, and cut short one of the
finest efforts Of my early ministry. Since
then, [ have kept my preaching discon-
nected from my domestic affairs

MARRIAGE. "A recent sermon, by
Henry Ward Baecher, has the following
in regacd to marriage
You that are starting, avoid the errors
Of these who have gone to fast and too
far.
You that are old, bear witness for
yourselves, and seek to repair as far as
you can the errors of your own wives, by
warning and directing the young.

Maidens, look to the God of your faith

can not afford not to be Christian it is

IF there is any defect more striking
than another in the American character,
it is bashfulness. Young America, in par
ticular, is painfully affected by it. An
incident is mentioned by a correspondent,
who was desired by his aunt to go to
neighbor ShaW's and see if he had for
sale any straw suitable for filing beds:
Z" Mr.. Shaw" says our Informant. "was
blessed with goodly number of Misses
Shaw, and / therefore felt little timid

TIE SoRRoWs OF OTHERs,-There is
no questioning but habitual cheerfulness
is very great blessing. But when
cheerful people are lauded, let it be re-
membered as a general thing that they
are no more commended for it than a per-
son for the possession of a pair of beauti-
fuI eyes. Cheerfulness is matter of
health and constitution. An invalid or
nervous persona very sensitive per;
son, easily affected by atmospheric and
other influences, cannot be uniformity
cheerful. He may do much towards en-
deaving to be so, it is true, but it must
be thing Of effect. Many people are
cheerful because they are apathetic.
The sorrows of others, not being their
own, are easy to bear. We do not wish
to decry this socia! sunshine, but let us
not forget that there are very sweet flow
ers that flourish and give out perfume
only in the shade, and at intervals,

ANECDOTES OF BEN. WADE.

The Sciot6 Gazette gives the following
anecdotes of Ben. Wade: The following
we derive from prominent citizen OF
Jefferson, fellow church member of
Joshua Il. Giddings, and tbey are auth.
entic:
About the time Mr.. W. opened law
office in Jefferson, a travelling preacher
stopped at that village and delivered a
lecture on the sinfulness of slavery. Mr..
| Giddihgs, and the pastor of the church
of which he was member, deemed this
highly swicked and incenaiary And,
to counteract any evil which the abolition
| lecture might have done, these two men
| drew up plan for a society, which was
to hold stated meetings for the purpose of
proving the divinity of slavery from the
Bible. In going around canvassing for
| members to search the Scriptures for this
purpose, they called at Wade's Office,
who, after hearing them patiently, re-
marked: eff was an infdel, and
thought it desirable to make the people
believe the Bible a fable, [ would begin
not by openly discrediting it, but [ would
organize just such societies as you pro-
pose. and set out to prove that the God of
the Bible was a being that sanctioned
slavery and all its iniquities."
The pastor spent a few moments in
deep thought, and exclaimed: "You
are right, Mr.. Wade. | now see things
in differant light. I will have nothing
further to do with it." Not long after
this the scales fell from Mr.. Giddings'
eyes, and he too became an apostle of lib
erty.
While Wade and Giddings were law
partners, they sold horse to preacher
and took his note. Mr. G. n1a3c the
trade, and drove hard bargain, ii :loayh
he belonged to the same church with the
preacher. They shortly after dissolved
partnership and divided the notes, Mr..
q. asserting them out, and somehow the
poor and doubtful were counted into Mr.
W 9 half. Mr.. W ade made no objection
to his, doubtless thinking this would
afford good opportunity to exercise some
OF that large hearted, practical bencvol-
.ence for which he is so noted. The
preachers note fell to Mr. Wade, and
when it became due, he was informed by
Mr. G. that W. had bought the note.
On calling TO pay it Mr.. Wade asked
him how much money lie had, and was
informed. "Just enough to pay this
note and get back home on" Mr.. Wade
replied, "Well, in the first place, had I
been selling the horse, my conscience
would not have allowed me to exact of
you more than he was worth; and in the
second place, you preachers have hard
time of it, and I am the last man who
would have o desire for your money.
Here is you note, [ make you present
OF II" The minister was affected to tears;
and remarked to a brother member short
y after. while relating the occurrence
That mans rough exterior covers
noble heart"
