TEE muskets furnished to the In
dams IN trade 10y the Hudson Bay
Company are Of the old flint lock pat
tern, the barrels being SO thin that the
owners are often seen Strengthening
them across their knees. Perhaps
this Is one reason why the Company,
which rules the greater area Of British
America has DO trouble with its
Indians, while the rascally agents and
traders who are permitted ~ regulate
Indian affairs in this country, furnish
them with the best Spencer rifles, and
the worst rihed whisky, to convert
them into dangerous devils.

A TRUTHFUL SKETcH.-Let man fail nj

creditors Men who have taken him by the
arm, laughed and chatted with him by the
hour, shrug their shoulders and pass on With
cold How do you do?"
Every trifle of bill is hunted up and pre-
scented that would not have seen tho light for
months, but for the misfortuues u the.
debtor. If 1t is paid, wen ard good /; il not,
the scowl Of the Sheriff, perhaps, meets him
at the corner. A nan that has never failed
knows but little Of human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently, waited
by favoring smiles and kind words from every
body. lie prides himself on his name and
spotlcss character, and makes his boast that
he has not an enemy in the world. Alas the
change. He looks at the world IN different
light when revorses como upon him. He
hardly knows how to naovc or to do this thing
or the other; there are spies about him,
writ is ready for his back. TO know what
kind Of stuff the world is made Of, . person
must be unfortunate, and stop paying once in

A New WAY TO RETAIN SUBSCRIBERS -
An indignant subscriber to the Elizabeth,
Nesrs came into the Office few days ago and
ordered his paper stopped because he differed
with the editor, Richard In Rue, in his views
Of subsoilipg fence rails. Richard conceded
the mans right to stop his paper and remark
ed coolly, as lie looked over his list:
!" Do you know Jim sowders, down at Hard
scrapplep"
Very we'll, . said the man.
Well, he stopped his paper last week be-.
cause thought farmer fool who didn't
know that timothy was good thing to graft
on huckleberry bushes, and he died in ltRs
than four hours.
MY Is thet w. 2 asked the astonished
Granger.
Yes; and you know old George Erricls
son, down on Eagle Crock 2
g We'll, I've heard ef hsrs.,,
g Well said Richard Gravely, he stopped
his paper becatise I said he was tho happy
father Of twins and congratulated him on his
success so late in life. He fell dead within
twenty miurtes. There's lots Of similar- cas-
es but it don't matter. I'll just cross your
name of, though you don't look strong and
there's a bad color on your nose"
g See here, Mr.. La Rue" said tho subscrib-
Or, looking somewhat alarmed, /" l believe III
just keep on another year, because I always
did like your paper, and, como to think about

whether this volcano continued active for

tial'y determined BY the following considera-
tions,
The influence Of heat upon the rock, FORM
ing its crater can not be traced to any place
visible, hardly 100 tt. Had the volcano con-
tinued active long time, the rock by the pro-
cess of heat, known as conduction, would
have been altered in its appearance to great
er distance. Again, 1t may be safely assumed
that this assure Is vertical. Its trend is very
nearly at right angles to the strike of the red
shale strata. In such case, We would infer
that the force effecting the fracture, had been
applied Immediately beneath the site of the
assure, and as there would be no more resist
ance offered upon the one side of the line than
upon the other, the tendency would be direct
ly to the surface.

1 A Washington correspo pondent tells a very good story in connection with the deg-catching ordinance nowin vogue in large cities. fl It appears that Mir Sharp, of Washington, 8 n friend of President Grant, is the possessor of g, fine dog, which he keeps inside his grounds, now the dog law is in force. But as that gentleman sat at a window a short time since, he saw tw5 of the official dog catchers enticing his canine into the street, which they had no sooner done than they seized him, and attempted to throw him into their cart, the dog Ter sisting violently. MT. Sharp went to the rescuei of his faxorite, and remon- strated with the, catchers, but ineffectu- ally. A short, rsquarely built man who had accompanied MT. Sharp, also joined in the protest, when he was told by the burly catcher to se mind his own bust ness, ]" accompanying the remark by still more expressive actions, and B brisk push on the shuulderal Instantly the short man struck out 8 forcible blow from the left shoulder and the boor went down like g log. But he was up as quickly, and was about to take the offen- sive, when MT. Sharp put himself in the way, and said hastiIy % ts Stand of, you fool; this is the President of the United States 1" And so it was.

Limit Your, r,Wantss.i

Lord Boingbroke, in his .Refec-. d6as upon E2ile,S says 'ss Our natural and real wants are confined to narrow bounds, while those which nfancy uand custom create, are are confined te none. 'aas1t " Young gjnap men q who es are 1 just entering upon life, and forming habits which are likely to adhere to them to it's close, will ldo well to treasure up in memory these true and instructive words of one ' of ,England's finest writers and most philosophic statesmen "Our natural and real wants are confined to narrow bounds." Itsis surprising how little it is that Gis9 af@Dlutely essential Go man s existence, and. if he will take an intelliI gent and considerate view of life, to his comfort and happiness, Intellectual en-, joyments are comparatively cheap. The highest and the only enduring satisfac- insignificant If fer the supply of luxpfies. Our physical wants are very few, five preserve our tastes simple, as they are by nature. To eat, to drink, to lexer-, scise,3 to sleep, to keep warm, and to be sheltered {; ;ea small sum will supply all these necessaries. The pleasures which are pure, and which tend to our i'm provement, are within the reach of tal- most every one. 1T But the wants which fancy and custom create, as Lord Bol- ingbroke we'll says, are confined to no bonndsa9 It is against these shat young men on thed threshold of life should sedulously guard. 2 Beware of luxurious and expensive habits. The qualification of them may cost you much of the labor and time which, if given to intellectual
 cultivation, would be far more icondu- ciye to happiness. aIt is easy toDdo with
 out that which you have never inddlged
 in. It is hard to leave off habits, how ever eztravagant and absurd. When you are to decide about mode or style of liv- ing, consider well whether it is certain that, without inconvenience,a you will be able alwayst to preserve it.
