Indian Names.

Indian Names.
Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From oil the crested wave;
That mid the forest where they roamed
There rings no hunter shout,
Bun their name is on your waters,
Yc may not wash it out
'Tis where Ontario's billow
Like oceans surge is curle1;
Where strong Niagara's thundcrs wake
Tho echo Of the world;
Where red Missouri brngcth
Rich tribute from the west
And Rappssannock sweetly sleeps
On green virginias breast
We say their cOne-like cabins.
That clustered Ger the vale
Have fed away like wtherod leaves,
Before the autumn gale
But their memory livcth on your hills,
Their baptism on your shore;
Your everlasting rivers speak
Their dialect of yore.
Old Massachusetts wears it
Within her lordly crown
And broad Ohio bears it
Amid her young renown,
Connecticut hath wreathcd it
Where her quiet foliage waves,
And bold kentucky brctthed it hoarse
Through all her ancient caves
Wachusct hides is lingering voice
Within his rocky heart.
Aud Allegheny graves its tone
Throughout his lofty chart;
Monadnock ON his forhead hoar
Doth seal the sacred trust;
Your mountains are their monument
Though We destroy their dust

A youthful applicant for certificate

the Superintending School Committee of
a town in Maine, and after having an
swered correctly several questions in
mathematics, he was asked I'm what year
did Columbus discover America ?" The
young man paused, scratched his head
and replied; "Well, Mister, you've got
me now ~ "Was it before or after the

in thought, and then raising his huge fist

"You've got me again, by thunder" The
certificate was not granted.

A Western paper gives this very good
advice for the season "Pay up" If you
owe but single dollar, go and pay it =
when there is so little money, We ought to
keep it moyng round lively. Jim owed
us, and VIC owed Bill, and Bill owed Jim.
Jim got mad because we made him pay
last week, one morning; but We paid Bill,
and Bill paid Jim, and Jim went to bed
that night as happy as a clam, with just
as much money as he had in the morning,
and three men out of debt.

A Shameful s,oclsjobbing Hoax.

The story that Commodore VANDERBILT
had been struck with paralysis, and was dying
at Saratoga, was an adroit but disrcputallc
stockjobLing hoax The despatch was left
at the Western Union Telegraph Office at
Troy at late hour. AS il was signed NV
T. KIssELLDURGH, city editor Troy Times"
the regular Associated Press agent, it was
forwarded without question, reaching this
city in season for the postscript of the morn
ing papers. Mr.. KIssELLBUEGH denies the
authorship OF the report and the editors of
the Troy Times have thus far failed to dis
cover the real author of the falsehood.
The effect Of the story was as m ght be
expected, 10 dcrrcss New York Central, IIar.

clincd three TO four per cent. aud all the
VANDERDILrstocksi in proportion. while Lake
Shore and other stocks ympathi2ed in the
decline to a considerable extent. The hoax,
disgraceful az II was, served its purpose, II
enabled certain parties to cover their short
interests. AS soon as this was Effected the
contradiction Of the story was Immediately
announced, with the information that the
Commodore, so far from being paralyzed, was
just then engaged in game of euchrc with
GARRISON, STEWART, and TURNBULL.
