Mr.. r. 8. HufIaker passed through our city
this week for his trading post in the territory,
and reports regarding the Indians that they
are ready to commence committing depreda-
tions or war on the least provocation, and as
soon as the grass gets little better and their
ponies stronger, that trouble with them may
be expected. Trustworthy reports from the
frontier settlements also come to us that pre-
dict an early and bloody conflict between the
settlers and Indians If the government does
not take immediate action and protect the set
tiers from the marauding Of these treacherous
red devils. There seems to be but one way to
solve the Indian question. and that is CON-
plete determination Of the whole race, or estab-
lish law to put to death all or any Indians
found Of their reserve. We have learned one
lesson. however, from their late depredations
and murders, and that is, the Quaker policy
is = complete failure.

CULTURE AND FAlTH.-rhere is 10 more
forlorn sight than that Of a man highly gifted
elaborately cultivated, with all the other Ca
pacities of his nature strong and active, but
those of faith and reverence dormant. And
this, be it said, is the pattern Of man in Which
culture, made the chief good would most likely
ISSUE. On the other hand, when it assumes
its proper place, illuminated by faith, and ami
mated by devout aspiration, it acquires dig
nifty and depth, which of itself it cannot at
tain. From faith it receives its highest and
most worthy objects. 1t is chastened and puri-
fled from self-reverence and concet. 1t is priced
no longer, merely for its own sake, or because
il exalts tho possessor of it, but because it en-
ables him to be of use TO others who have been
less fortunate. In a word, it ceases to be self
insulated, and seeks to communicate itself as
widely as it may. So culture is transmitted
from an intellectual attainment into spiritual
grace. This seems the light il which all who
are admitted to higher cultivation should learn
| to regard their endowinents, whatever they be

ORIGIN OF MANNA.-Cuiiosity has been on
the alert from romote historical times to dis
cover some way by which the 1sraelites were
so abundantly supplied with a nutritious food
in the wilderness called mamma, short of a mi
raculous dispensation. But NO one has yet dis
covered any source OF supply bearing proper
tion to the quantity gathered by the sojourn-
ing Hebrews. Several kinds of shrubs and trees
yield something analogous, but it is glutinous-
a sort Of vlscid eXudation-whereas that which
was found, every morning i'll the desert was a
clean, well defined, dry substance like corian-
der seed, says the sacred chronicle.
Mr. Turner found grove OF tamarisk trees

furnishes what the monks called mamma. They
were bushy, about 10 feet high, from which

Odd things, you say, and l doubt you are

Round seamau's neck thi, stormy night

Most like it's folly; but mate, look here:

A woman stood on yon far off strand,
With wedding-ring on the small soft hane

My wife-God bloss her The day before,
She sat beside my foot;
And the sunlight kissed her yellow hair.
And the dainty fingers, def and fair,
Knitted baby's boot.

A grave the daises had sprinkled white,
A cottage empty and dark as night,
Aud this beside the chair:

The tangled skein lay near;
But the knitter had gone away to rest,
With the babe asleep on her quiet breast,
Down in the churchyard drear.

ANEcDoTR OF WEBsrER.-Daniel Webster

close student Of its sacred pages. On one oc-
casion small company Of select friends spent
an evening at his house. Tea over, the Bible,
and the relative beauties of its several parts,
became tho topic of conversation. Each one
OF the guests had a preference. When the turn
came to Webster, lie said: "The masterpiece

the Mount. That has no rival, no equal. As

book is that of Habakuk, and my flvorite ver-
