perhaps the most desperate and hardened OF all the

noted Bill Anderson, who was at one time captain
under Quantre. IL 10 generally understood that
Parker thcn known as Hays was tho murderer OF
Colonel Erwin in Grayson county, OF the soldier
Robinson in Collin county, and Of old man Loving
In Dallas county. These are probably but a few N
his recent victims. How many have fallen by HIS
hands no man can tell. He was the leader OF the

Value Of Honesty.

An old trader among the North
ern Indians, who had some years
ago established himself on the
Wisscva, tells good story with a
moral worth rcco!lecting, about
bis first trials oftrading with his red
customers-The Indians, who evi-
IDENTIFY wanted goods, and had both
money (Which they called shune
ah) and furs, focked about his
store, and examined his goods, but
for some time brought nothing.
Finally, their chef, with q large
body of his followers, visited him,
and accosting him with "How do
Thomas; show me goods; l take
four yard calico, three coonkins for
yard, pay you by'm-by-to-mor-
row ;" received his goods and left.
Next day, he returned with his
whole band, his blankets stuffed
with coon-skins. "Amcrican man,
I paw now;" with this he began
counting out the skins, until he
handed him over twelve. Then
after a moments pause, b e
offered the trader one more, re-
marking, as he did it: "That's
it," II handed it back" said the
trader "telling him he owed me but
twelve, and would not cheat him.
We continued to pass it back and
FORTH. each one asserting that it
belonged to the other. At last te
appeared to be satisfied, gave me
a scrutinizing look, placed the
skin in the folds of his blanket,
stepped to the door and gave a
yell, and cried with loud voice
:"Come, come, and trade with a
pale face, he no cheat Indian his
heart big" He then turned to me
and said: "You take that skin, |
tell Indian no trade with you
drive you off like a dog-but now
YOU Indians friend, and we yours"
Before sundown | was waist deep
in furs, and loaded down with
cash. So l lost nothing by my
honesty.

TO Young Housekeepers.

Be satisfied to commence on a
small scale. 1t is too common for
young housekecpers to begin where
their mothers ended. By all that
is necessary to work skillfully
with: &dorn your house with all
that will render it comfortable.
Do not look at richer homes, and
covet their costly furniture. If
secret dissatisfaction is ready to
spring up, 90 a step further, and
visit the homo Of the suffering
poor; behold dark, cherries
apartments, insufficient clothing,
and absence Of all the comforts
and refinement of social life, and
then return to your own with a
joyful spirit. You will then be
prepared to meet your husband
with a grateful heart, and be ready
to appreciate the toll Of selt-denlal
which he has endured in the busi-
ness world to surround you with
the delights of home; and you will
cooperate cheerfully with him in
so arranging your expenses that
his mind will not be constantly
harrassed lest his family expendi-
lures may encroach upon public
payments.
Be independent; a young house
keeper never needed greater mo-
raj courage than she does now, to
resist the arrogance OF fashion.
Do not let the AS and BIS decide
what you shall have; neither let
them hold the strings of your
purse. You know best what
you can and ought to afford.
It matters but little what people
think provided you are true to
yourself, to right and duty, and
keep your expenses within yoar
means.
