of very little consequence what kind of men

THE PEACE COMMISSIONED.

AN INDIAN PASTORAL.
1t was Peace Commissioner
And his garb was sober drab;
His hair was long and white and he
Economized his CAB;
In short, he was reticent
And ino.fensive slab.
His style was phlanthropic,
And he bore carpet-bag,
In which he stored bis tracts and soap,
And other peaceful SWag,
Which Indians patronize when war
And cattle-stealing lag
Long they sat in solemn council,
The agent and the Red,
Mildly talking fabby virtue,
Till the sachem shook his head,
As with doubt and dim suspicion,
Then he grunted low, and said
Not with elequence of nature,
Not in metaphoric style,
But in simple frontier lingo,
Mingling slang and grammar vile
"Na-ree- -trow-zis; want some whisky;
Injun empty; drink pile
Then that meek and lowly Quaker
demonstrated with tear;
Spoke of fre-water and of ruin,
With elOquence severe
Said, quite feelingly, that whisky
Was foe most insincere.
Spake once more the child Of Nature,
Keeping down his growing bile,
Has my brother bought tobacco?
Is there powder in his pile?''
But the honest agent answered
With an unsuspecting smile
'Had my variegated brother
Ever studied Mr.. Trask,
He would never ! am certain,
Such a foolish question ask,
Read these pamphlets, they will teach you
In the light of truth to bask.
'.Powder have none-nor whisky,
Nor the brain destroying leaf;
But of moral tracts and stories
L have many for the chief"
Then the Indian, weeping sadly,
Said it caused him bitter grief.
That his moral sense compelled him
To extract his brothers hair;
Which he did, with nice precision
And sadness-stricken air;
And that hopeful Peace Commissioner
Terminated then and there.

FRENCH P0llTENESS,

any age from sixty to eighty, sitting
bowed as with indrmity, over a stall
loaded With apples and oranges; her
wrinkled face tho color of time.stalned
parchment, her eyes half closed, and
her whole expression betokening stolid
sadness and habi.ual suffering. I made
no offer to buy, but do1ed my hat to
her, as one instinctively does in France
when addressing any woman, tcld her l

such street, naming it, and begged
that she would have the goodness to

the apparent sullenness replaced by q
