A Dramatic Scene.

At meeting of the Peace commissioners
at Los Pinos agency, Colorado, on the 9Th
inst, Ouray refused to deliver up the In.
dians who participated in the Meeker mas.
sacre unless they are to be tried in Wash.
ington. He said the Colorado people were
enemies of the Indians, and to deliver them
up to be tried in that state would be equiva.
lent to surrenderiug them to the hangman.
The scene at this point WAS dramatic in the
extreme, aud is pictured as follows: "No
one moved or spoke for q few moments, when
Colorow lighted big pipe, 'the pipe of
peace Each Indian present drew his knife
and laid it on his knees, the question Of
peace or war being the one pending. Colo
row passed the pipe to the next man with.
out smoking and it went round. When the
circle was finished, he Jumped to bis
feet, Strengthened up to his full
height, pulled his belt around until his
knife sheath was in front, pulled his knife
out, threw it with force on the floor, quiv-
ering and ringing. Instantly every Indian
present dropped his hand to his belt and
laid his hand on his knife or pistol, the
whites did the same and the two parties
stood fronting and defyiug each other for
some moments, each waiting for the other
to make a forward move. There were but
six white men, while there were % Indians
in the room and Is soldiers in the adjoining
room." Finally Ouray delivered his speech,
in substance, as above.

A BAOHELOR'S TENANT.

I should like to describe my hero as a
young and gallant cavalier of this nine
tenth century, with the beauty of an
Apollo and the wisdom OF a sage, but truth
compels me to acknowledge that Rupert
Smithson, in spite of his fine Christian ap-
pellation, was neither the one nor the 9th
err His nephew and namesake, who was
called in the bosom of his family Rupert
the Second, said that his uncle Rupert was
a ''crusty old bachelor" and hammer my
brains in vain for more fitting description.
A crusty old bachelor he undoubtedly was,
more than fifty years of age, with grizzled
hair, heavy gray eyebrows, a thick gray
beard, and rough voice and manner. It
is true that he was always very careful
to keep the crustiest side of his nature on
the surface, and had been discovered in
committing secretly deeds of charity and
kindness that belied utterly his habitually
surly tone and abrupt manner.
Twenty years before, when the gray hair
was nut-brown, and clustered in rich curls
over the broad white forehead, when the
DtoWA CyCo ouOA0 WAeA oAo AA0 VI e>AAA"A
ton, and the clear voice was true and ten
der, Rupert Smithson had given his heart
to Kate Carroll, neighbor and friend, and
little sweetheart from childhood. Urged
by love as we'll as ambition, he had left his
home in small western town and gone to
New York to win a name and fortune to
lay at Katies feet. The fortune and fame
as successful merchant came to him, and
when he returned to Katie he found that
she had left her home also, to become the
bride Of wealthy pork dealer in Cincin-
natl.
Nobody told Rupert of treachery to the
! pretty Katie, of letters suppressed, OF SIAN
ders circulated, and parental authority
stretched to it's utmost in favor OF the
wealthy sutton. He had no record of the
despair that crept over the loving heart
when the pleading letters were unanswer-
ed. OF the dull apathy that yielded at last
and gave away the hand of the young girl
when her heart seemed broken. All that
the young, ardent lover knew was the one
bitter fact that the girl he loved faithful
~ and fondly was false to her promises
the wife Of another. He spoke no word of
bitterness, but returned to the home he
had fitted up for his bride. to the business
he had-hoped was the stepping-stone to
happiness, and to life Of loneliness.

ed in her slate colored dress and bonnet,
as her three-hculs' husband led her in;
but with a moments scrutiny Mrs. Kim
berly cried:
cit is Kate Carroll ~
ssKate Smithson ~ said the bridegroom
with immense dignity, ''and my daughter,
Winfred."
There was new sensation as pretty
blonde answered to his call, but warmer
welcome was never given to his relatives.
and to this day uncle Rupert will not ack-
nowledge that he got the worst of the joke
when his nephew played him an April fool
trick by advertising his house to let.

Advice to Farmers.
. BY DIR. wM. S. PLUMER.

Never NEEDLE. Be not a busy-body.-
Mind your own business, and so let other
people mind theirs. have known several
men to make a good living by pursuing
this course. Indeed, one of them made a
fortune, and enjoyed it too.
Avoid quarrels. Live in peace with all
your neighbors. Hate SANDER, back biting,
gossip and scandal. Danish evil speaking
from your table and premises. Scandal
mongers are worse than Norway rats, and
gossip is as lad as the measles.
Keep clear of law suits if you possibly
can; an honest man can commonly earn
better character by quiet industry than all
the courts can give him.
For more than sixty years have noticed
the careers of lovers of gation-they
seldom prosper. True, some of them are
famous for success, but their expenses are
heavy and they lose their time in looking
after their causes.
The wolf eats sheep enough to make him
fat, but he has to travel so far to get his
prey, and to run so hard to get away from
the dogs and the hunters, that he is always
lean.
Keep out Of debt. No man ever makes
better use of his money than when he
pays his notes, or settles an account against
himself. Pay as you go.
Live within your income. To do this
make your estimates with care, for two
thirds of all you wish to spend during the
year; contingencies will consume the 9TH
er third.
Make your house happy home. To do
this you must repress pride, Incidence,
carelessness and angry tempers; you must
deal justly, speak truly and think charita-
bly,: you must drink milk from your own
COW. get eggs from your own yard, and be
unbending in your integrity.
You will do well to have few secrets and
keep them to yourself. If you cannot
keep your own mouth shut how can you
keep others from talking. Valuable Ii
quors are not kept in leaky vessels.
When splendor is paid for by negotiable
notes it is but splendid misery. Seek your
happiness in simplicity, not in extrava-
gance. One sits more comfortably in a
rush-bottomed chair that is paid for than
on a velvet cushion and covered lounge for
which he owes his upholster.

The FAMILY CIRCLE.-The family con-
stitution is Of divine origin, wise in its de-
sign, and of great Importance. If there
be any relation or bond in life which ought
to be sacredly guarded from everything
that can put it in peril, it is that which
unites the members of the family. If there
be a spot upon earth from which discord
and strife should be banished it is the fire.
side There centre the fondest hopes of
parents and children and the most tender
affections.
How lovely the spectacle presented by
that family which is governed by the right
spirit! Each child strives to avoid giving
offence, and is studiously considerate of
the others happiness. Sweet, loving dis
positions are cultivated by all, and each
tries to surpass the other in his efforts for
the common harmony.-Each heart CLOVIS
with love, and the benediction of hea-
venly peace seems to abide upon that
dwelling with such power that no black
6end of passion dare raise his head within
it.
Who would not realize this lovely pic
ture? It may be realized by all who en-
ploy the appointed means.-Let the pre-
cepts of Christianity be applied, as they
are designed to be, and they will be found
to shed a holy charm upon the family
circle, and make it the most heaven-like
scene On earth! Children, you can do
much to make it so.
