Amusing Indian Story.

The distance between my post and Santa
Fe was over 800 miles, and to facilitate
matters | was ordered to survey a new and
short route, cutting off about 20 miles. A
company numbering eighty men was de-
tailed for the purpose, and as the course
lay partly through a wooded region, con-
siderable squad was required to act as AK
men. Three or four lively black-and-tan
terriers accompanied the command, afford
ing no little amusement by their activity
in swapping up unWary gOpherS, rats,
mice and other vermin. The aborigincs
who frequently hOnOred us with their
presence, claiming to be "Good Indian,
me-" were excessively pleased with those
performances. On a certain occasion a
Stalwart fellow, who spoke few words of
English, said to me:
"Nantanh, heap good dog"
Eyes" l replied, "they are good dogs
But 'um ear, cut 'um TAIL make 'um
good dog"
Certainly; it is because their ears and
tails are trimmed that they get around 50
lively.n
"Gough! Me got good dog; cut 'um
tail?
"Yes; bring, your dog. I'll have him
fixed for yOu.n
Next day my Navajo friend appeared
with small, black, Indian fise, sporting a
long tail and ears to correspond. Unroll-
ing this quadruped from his blanket, he
signified a desire to have the job done
without delay; so he called two men and
babe one hold the dog while the other
locked his tail with an AK. This did
not suit Redskin, who refused to trust
his favorite to the tender mercies of a
savage white man, and preferred to per-
form the operation himself. l therefore
ordered one of them to hold the dogs tail
over a convenient log, while the other
held his head and forepaws. All being
ready, the Indian seized an ak, but in
stead of using it as any other person would
have done, he swung the blade high above
his head with both hands, as if the object
to be separated required his whOlestrength.
Just then the soldier who held the tail
gave it sudden pull, while the one at
the head gave corresponding push.
Down came the keen weapon, diving the
unfortunate 'purpn just forward of the
hind quarters, to the infinite disgust of
the Indian, who picked up the disiointed
halves, threw his blanket over his shout
ders with indescribable dignity and ex-
claimed in gutteral accents, ugh! =!
Cut 'um too short.n

BURY ME IN THE MORNING.

Il is not often that the name of Stephen A
douglass is connected in our minds with any
hing outside of the political arena, but there i
beautiful poetical effusion of his which is {
cedit alike to heart and intellect:
Bury me in the morning, mother;
Oh let me have the light
Of one bright day on my grave mother,
Ere you leave me alone with night.
Alone in the night of the grave, mother,
lis thought of terrible fear;
And you will be here all alone, mother,
And stars will be shining here;
SO bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
Of one bright day my grave. mother
Ere Pm alone with the night.
You tell of Savior's love, mother,
| feel it is in my heart
But oh from this beautiful world, mother,
IT'S hard for the young to part;
Tor even to part when here, mother,
The soul is fain to stay,
Tor the grave is deep and dark, mother,
And heaven seems far away
Then bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
of one bright day on my grave, mother,
Ere I'm alone with the night.

The Clergy in Politics.

We clip the following vigorous senten-
ces on this subject from the New York
Observer:
A minister is not 50 good pastor or
preacher who mirgles actively in political
controversies. His mind is pre-occupied
by them. His spiritual nature is degraded
and clouded and soiled. The temporal rath-
er than the eternal, the seen not the ur-
seen, takes hold of his soul. He may not,
should not, forget under any circum-
stances, the personal relations of men to
things near and tangible; and if he preach
es the whole Gospel, he will constrain
men to act in the fear of God when they
vote, as when they pray. But no minister
was ever an active partisan i'll politics, and
at the same time as good guide Of souls as
when he sought only the spiritual instruc-
ton of his people.

A FABLE.-A man in the mint was told
that he might take away one pOcketful of
gold, if he would run straight home with
it and not stop by the way nor touch his
pocket. So he filled his largest pocket full
of gold and started for home. But as he
was running down little hill, the gold
hung heavy, tore off his pocket and fell
down in the road. When he had got home
and found his gold and his pocket gone to-
gether, "AIas !" said he, 'had l taken less
[ should have more
All the real fun that we ever get, we
must take in by little, temperate pocket
fuls. If we overload once or twice, that
ends the matter. That pocket will never
hold any more fun at all IVOOdS House

A WOMAN.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Oh dwarfed and wronged, and stained with
i'll,
Behold thou art a woman still
And, by that sacred name and dear,
bid thy better self appear
Still, through thy foul disguise, see
The rudimental purity,
That spite of change and loss, makes good
Thy birthright claim of womanhood;
An inward loathing, deep, intense;
A shame that is half innocence.
Cast off the grave-clothes of thy SIM
Rise from the dust thou Hest in,
As Mary rose at Jesus word,
Redeemed and white before the Lord
Reclaim thy lost soul in His name,
Rise up and break thy bonds of shame
Art weak He's strong. Art fearful Hear
The world O'ercomer "Be of good cheer!'
What lip shall Judge when He approves?
Who dare to scorn the child He loves
