HER BURDEN.

Day after day she bore it, not repining-s
Day after day she sought the narrow way,
From morn till night, fro n night till morning
shining,
She loitered not, MOI, went from ii asiray,
Bnt once, at last, her heart within her burning,
Thus made the moan unto the silent stars
My settcrs bind me--is theno returning,
And shall mc.cr break my prison bars? g
Sad heart, be patient for little longer; sta
Who knows what may not be in store for You!
Brave heart! beat fora time little stronger
Still hope-still wait-still steadfast be and
true.
There came a, time, before the sweet. wi,iic
drawing, s,< s45 ~ - 4,
Ere ye: the starry night let fall her crown,
When i'll that hour betwiztthc highland morn
ing,
She, being weary, laid her burden down.

NOTHING BUT CLARET.
MRS. NELLIE AAIEs.

"Itncver hurt mel"
There was defiance and decision in the
tone of Walter Uxbridgc, Esq, as he
looked into the handsome, motherly face
OF the opposite side of the dining table.
"No, Walter, L don't think itever did;
in fact, / am positive it never did but
then, my dear, there are very few of us
in this world who can do exactly as we
please. Don't you know what st. Paul
says about putting stumbling blocks in
our brothers way"
Don't quote St. Pau, for goodness
sake. What don't he say A sensible
conservative one minute, recommending
81 little wine for the stomacll's sake, and
the next :n out and out tcetotalcr for
bidding meat and fish MS well Us strong
drink"
"But you skno~, well enough, what he
means, whatever lie has said. You arc
only talking that way to lease nc. St.
Paul thought it proper for IL man who
WAS master of lis own spirit, to take q
little wine if rc needed it: but not to do
This in Il place where lie could influence
others wcakers than he, or where itwould
bc Likely to hurt anothcrs feelings"
THAT j., lie approved of drinkin. be-
hind the dor: something shall never be

Perhaps it is Mildred, then" inter
ruptcd her husband.
"No, nor Mildrcd"-
Strange that you should have no fears
of your daughter becoming drunkard," :"
interrupted Mr.. Uxbridyc again.
The irony of this remark had not the
effect intended; for the lady went OH
thoughtfully, almost as ifshc had not
heard.
"No, nor Mildred, although intemper-
nncc is not unknown among women
"Wcll. then, who i'll the world arc you
worrying about?" broke i'll the gentle
man again. "You feel confident that
Frank is beyond temptation, and there
isn't any one else ms can see. Perhaps
you are afraid that ! shall lose my cquil-
ibrim some time!" and Mr.. Uxbridge
dropped another piece Of ice in his glass,
and surveyed the ruby liquid with the
expression ofan amateur.
at is no especial credit to you that you
arc not a drunkard," continued the wife
i'll II firmer tone. Strong drink does not
tempt you in every WY, save in an cpl
curean sort of n fashion, that leads you
to desire all good things wine, no more
than others. You do not drink to excess
for the best of reasons, ,yourappctitc does
not lead you so far, if it did, You would
be like other drunkards. The question
seems to be now, havewc no duties out
side of our own especial family? Oughtn't
we to be as particular in regard to our
neighbor's children rs our own. To love
our neighbor as oursclf, requires great
watchfulness, because 1t isn't so easy. |
don't believe, Walter, that it is right to
have wine on our dinner table, or to offer
it to our friends, unless we arc morally
sure it can do no harm. l am very much
stirred up OIL this subject"

bridge, with most impcrturable COED

How the Indians Disposed Of One of
Their Unfortunate Women.
Itisa matter ofhistory, every one is
aware, that the penal laws Of some of
the Indian tribes surpass in rigor and
severity those of civilized natiogsi andths
penalties inflicted by the breaking of
these edicts, which have been handed
down for centuries, are Of a singularly
cruel and fearful nature. One of the
most stringent of these DEGREES is in ref
erence to the chastity Of their felnal ss,
death being the punishment fiat any
time one is known to have broken the
law. Job Natures, an old mountaineer
and trapper, gives a Nevada paper the
following particulars of one of these fen
dish acts of cruelty lately perpetrated by
q band Of Indians near Fish Spring
Valley:
For two weeks prior to the occurrence
of the events about to be narrated, the
Indians had been building signal fires on
the elevated portions Of the mountains
for miles around the surrounding coIn-
try. AS it WAS their regular hunting
season, much surprise was manifested as
the lights appeared night after night, cal
ling the absent portions Of the tribe to
the general rendezvous. On questioning
SINE of their number, they were, contra
ry TO their usual manner, recticent on
the subject, and only replied to questions
put to them concerning the unusual oc-
currencc that "whitc man no sabe.'
Natures, however, who speaks the
language like IL native, heard enough 20
satisfy himself that rite was abo1t to
be performed which was of rare occur
renee, and OH questioning q halfbred
who frequently accompanied him on his
hunting excursions, he learned that q
young woman, a member Of one of the
tridcs in that country, who had abandon
ed her people q year or so since to live
with a white man, had returned, bring
ing with her babe about three months
old. Here was the same old, old story,
30 common with us nowadays. After n
short spell of happiness and pleasure, he
who had brought her to her ruin became
tired of his victim and abandoned her to
her fate. She like thousands of others
placed III the same circumstances, sought
refuge at her home and among her peo-
pie. hoping to find Il shelter for herself
and child; but with the trrible penalty of
the law she had broken before her, and
with the indisputablc evidence of her guilt
in her aims, we wonder at her hardihood
in placing hcrsclfim the power of those
whomc she must have known would show
her nc mercy.
Nothing that she could offer in ralla-
tion of her offense would be received by
those who only knew. that their sacred
law had been broken. Having heard
that the terrible decree would bc carried
out on certain night, the trapper sccre-
ted himself in position where he could
obtain an unobstructed view of all they
would do, and he arrived none too soon,
for already the preliminaries had been
