The Council of the British Royal Academy
has been occupied of late in deyising aud effect
ing reforms in its schools. These reforms, as
we understand tend in the right direction, and
are calculated to give animation to the system
of teaching; greater liberality than former prac-
tiee youchsafed to these schools and richer
opportunities for the students, are matters which
are NO longer to be merely talked about.

seven we're given to him
90 (which shall IL be Which shall it be 2"
looked at John-John looked at me,
Dear patient John who loves me yet,
As well MS though my locks we're Jet,
And when found that must speak,
Ny voice seemed strangely low and weak;
"sfell me again what Robert said y
And then listening bent my head;
'"This is his letter.
t.1f Il viii give
house and land while you shall live.
If, in return, from out your seven,
One child to me for aye is given.
looked at Johns old garments worn,
thought of all that John had borne
OF poverty, and work, and care,
Which I, though willing, could not share;
thought of seven mouths to feed
OF seven little children's need
And then Of this.
''Come John" )" said I,
'Well choose among them as they lie
Aseep;" So walking hand in hand,
Dear John and surveyed our band
First to the cradle lightly stepped,
Where Lillian the baby slept.
A glory gainst the pillow whites
Softly the father stopped to lay
His rough hand down in loving way,
When dream whisper made her stir,
And huslily he said:-'Not her, not her.
We stopped beside the trundle-bed,
And one long ray of lamplight shed
Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleep SO ptiful and fair;
saw on Jamies rough, red cheek
tear undried. Ere John could speak,
''Hes but baby, too said /,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale patient Robbies angel face
Still in his sleep bore suferings trace.
''No, for O thousand crowns, not him,
He whispered, while our eyes we're dim;
Poor Dick bad Dick wayward son,
Turbulent, reckless, idle one
Could he be spared? NAY, He who gave
Bid us befriend him to the grave;
Only mothers heart can be
Patient enough for such as he.
And SO, said John, 81 would not dare
To send him from her bedside prayer"
Then stole we softly up above
And knelt by Mary, child of love,
Perhaps for her 'twould better be"
! said to John, Quite silently
He lifted up curl that lay
Across her cheek in wilful way,
And shook his head, 'tNay, love, not thee
The while my heart beat audibly,
Only one more, eldest lad,
Trusty and truthful, good and glad
SO like his father. mo, John, no
can not, will not, let him go"
And so we wrote in courteous way,
We could not drive child away
And afterward toll lighter seemed,
Thinking of that of which we dreamed,
Happy in truth that not one face
We missed from its accustomed place;
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting the rest to One in heaven

INDIAN HORRORS.
Sincws OF White Men Drawn Out
For BOw-strings.

Plains Cor. Cincinnati Gazette, 10th ult.l
The Indian depredations continue
along the border, and every day brings
us new horror, the mere recital OF
which makes the blood run cold. A few
days ago three men, Dr.. Bard, Harvey
Morgan and a Mr.. Mason, while on their
way from South Pass City to Wind river,
thirty-6ve miles distant, were attacked
and killed by Arrapahoe and Sioux In
dians. The party stopped over night in
the camp of the Big Horn expedition,
and early in the morning set out on
their way to the valley. They had not
gone far when large party of Indians
dashed down from the hills and sur
rounded them. The three men were
travelling at the time in two-horse
wagon, and as soon as they saw the In
dams drove upon knoll and gave fight.
The struggle must have been desperate
one, and the unfortunate men, no doubt,
sold their lives as dearly as possible,
pools of blood and pieces of clothing
being found in various places, where the
Indians had taken refuge behind the
hills. Under the wagon were found a
large number of exploded shells
of fixed ammunition that had been
fred by the white men, and also two
pools Of blood, showing they had
fought after being wounded. tits almost
certain the men, after fighting for time,
endeavored to escape, as evidences of
the battle were found in two places. 1t
is likely, after being wounded, they
mounted the wagon and tried to cut their
way out and reach the United States
camp, on Little Poppoigie Creek, some
twelve or fifteen miles distant. When
found, the bodies were all stripped and
horribly mutilated. The hind wheels of
the wagon were detached from the fore
part, and one end of the bed rested on
the ground. The wagon had probably
come uncoupled while the horses were
running, and thrown the white men out.
One of the fore wheels rested on the
breast of DR.. Bard, where he had been
put by the Indians and scalped alive.
His writhing and struggles had torn up
the sod showing he had been held under
the wheel some time before death ensued.
Morgan lay near the wagon stark naked
and scalped. The hammer of the wagon
had been taken out and the handle
driven into his temple up to the
shank, completely pinning the head to
the ground. 1t could not be drawn out,
so firmly was it imbedded in the skull
bones, and it had to be buried with him.
His thighs and back were cut open, and
the sinews taken out for bow strings.
Mr.. Mason had an, iron rod three feet
long forced up his person, and his legs
cut open to the bone, and the sinews
drawn out. Most of these barbarities
had undoubtedly been committed while
the men were yet alive, and their suffer
ings must have been terrible. There
were otherindignities committed on their
persons, which are too horrible to relate.
AS soon as the news reached the United
States Camp, Colonel Bartlett sent out
Lieutenant Scott, with thirty infantry
men, in wagon, who brought in the
bodies and buried them at Poppoigie.

and then with little stick advanced to-
wards the snake. AS he did so the snake
made spring at him, but G. struck him
with the stick and knocked him back A
second time the snake sprung at him,
and he again knocked him off with the
stick but before he could strike a third
blow, the snake made another spring and
inflicted another in Graynor arm. This
time Graynor again managed to seize
the monster by the neck, and, dropping
the stick, he drew forth his knife with
one hand, opened it with his teeth, and
deliberately cut off the snakes head.
Blood spurted from the trunk, and g.,
still grasping the snake, whose huge
folds tapped and writhed around him,
turned towards me, staggered and fell

What in the name of God can | do
for your
" Nothing" said be calmly, ~ am dy-
ing. Tell them good -" and his fea-
lures became frightfully contorted, his
eyes rolled over as If starting from their
sockets, and his black swollen tongue
protruded from his mouth. Then he
fixed his red, Wild staring eyes upon me,
and heaved deep, piercing groan; a
shiver passed over his frame, and then
all was still ! was alone with the dead.
Marking the place as well as | could, |
hastened to house we had passed on
the road, some half mile distant from
the fatal tragedy Runners were sent
through the neighborhood, and in the
course of two hours, some twenty of the
neighbors had gathered. We proceeded
to the place, which found no difficulty
in pointing out
Good heavensl what sight met our
view. The face and body had turned to
a deep purple, and were swollen to three
times the natural size, presenting the
most horrible appearance | had ever wit
messed The snake lay where he had
been thrown, and was still writhing
A litter of boughs was hastily con-
structed, and, with heavy hearts we took
our way to the residence of his parents
j will not attempt to describe the heart
rending scene when they saw the body.
Grief like theirs cannot be portrayed
This was my first encounter with rat
tlesnake, and | pray God it may be my
last. n
