Such "a force was not AZ the com
mand OF the first inhabitants of this
country. The sequel Of the Indian
war goes to show that in n war
with savages the choice lies between
determination and sublugatlon.
Our Government has wisely and
humanely pursued the latter course.
The author begS to be understood
that the foregoing observations are
not intended as II Justification Of
the whole Of the transactions Of our
people with regard TO tho Indians
during the course of thewar. Some
instances OF acts Of wantOn bar
barity occurred on our side, which
have received and must continue to
receive the uGequivocal reprobatlon
of all the civilized world. In the
course of this history it will appear
that more deeds Of wanton bar
barity took place on our side than
the world is now acquainted with.

The Two villages,

over the river on the bill
Lieth village quiet and still;
All around it the forest trees
SILVER and whisper in the breeze.
Over it sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow
Aud mountain grasses, low aud sweet
Grow in the middle Of every street.
Over the river under the hill,
Another village lieth still;
There zee. in the cloudy night,
Twinkling stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smiths door
Mists that curl on the river shore,
And in the road no grasses grow
For the heels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill
Never a sound Of smith or mill;
The houses are thatched with grasses an'
flowers,
; Never a clock to toll the hours;
/ The marble doors are always shut,
You cannot enter ball or hut.
All the village lieth asleep,
Never a grain to SOW or reap,
Never in dream to moan or sigh,
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hill
When tho night is starry and still
Many a weary soul in prayer
Looks to the other village there,
Aud weeping and signing longs to go
Up to that home from this below
Longs to sleep in the forest wild
Whittier have vanished wife and child,
And heareth, praying, this answer fall
"Patienoe This village shall hold 20
all"

THE LARK AND THE WEED.
BY JHssIE PIEEsoN

The morning dawned, dewy aud fair,
In garden the roses blushed In bloom'
And the still, white lilies shown from
the gloom
Ofthelr great green leaves, and everywhere
Looked mp the large, dark, purple eyes
OF pansies, sweet and rare.
Outside Of the garden walls a weed
Blossomed dull, in the morning light;
1t held its pale, green calyx tight
Around its petals, and indeed
Who, passing, would have thought OF
the heart
OF only a duh, brown weed !
II saw in the garden its sisters shine,
Beautiful, odorous, and bright;
1t heard their whispers in the night
When the summer winds blew cool-"he
Is mine,"
Said the rose; said the lily pale aud
sweet,
"Ah no, he is mine, not thine.
Loi flutter through all the garden there:
The red rose flushed in conscious PRIDE
The stately lilies only sighed
Where they stood, 50 tall and sweet aud
fair:
And up with the light rose the singing
lark,
Like thrill through the morning air.
oh. the lark's high song, so sweet. 80
street!
Yet the roses see only their crimson glow,
And the lilies their own sweet fragrance
known,
While the pale, brown weed, as was sim
ply meet,
Had naught to think Of except the song
So clear, so strangely sweet.
In the glory that fell from the shining blue
OF the sunlit, cloudless sky, it stood,
Bathed in the musie's golden food
And its dull leaves, wet with the cool
night dew,
Opened above the hidden heart
That only the lark's song knew.
And the lark-who shall say if he saw the
rose,
Or the fragrant lilies, or Pansies rare
Or was it but chance, or was 1t that there
lie saw his own JOY in a heart-who knows
Why, in swift descent be paused by the
weed,
Forgetting the lily aud rosef
And what was the end ltis only guessed.
Whether the poor weed blossomed or died
What docs it matteri Aught beside
Since a weed is no mate for lark at best)
That once its little pale leaves we're
brushed
BY the singing lark's brown breast

WASHINGTOR'S RULES OF CONDUCT.


One of George Washington's
early copy-books contains a list Of
10 "Rales Of Ciyility and Decent
Behavior in Company and Con.
versatIou." Here are a few of
them:
Every action in company ought
to be with some sign of respect to
those present.
When you meet with one Of
greater quality than yourself stop
and retire, especially if it be at a
door or any strait place, to give
way for him to pass.
They that are in dignity or in
Office have in all places precedency;
but whilst they are young they
are their equals in birth or other
qualities, though they have no
public charge.
Strive not with your superiors in
argument, but always submit your
judgment to others with modesty.
BE not hasty to believe flying re-
ports to the disparagement Of any.
Take all admonitions thankfully,
in what time or place soever given;
but afterwards, not being culpable,
take a time OF place convenient to
let him know it that gave them.
Think before you speak; pro.
nounce not imperfectly, nor bring
out yOnr words too hastily, but
orderly and distinctly.
Speake not evil of the absent,
for it is unjust.
Make no show of taking great
delight in your victuals; feed not
with greediness; cut your bread
with a knife; lean not Oh the
table neither find fault with what
you eat.
BE not angry at table, whatever
happens, aud il you haye reason to
be so, show it not F; put on cheer.
full cOnDtenance, especially if there
be strangers, for good humor makes
one dish of meat feast.
Let your recreations be manful,
not sinful.
Labor to keep alive in your
breast that little spark Of celestial
fire called conscience.
These are not unwise rules ; they
touch on things great and small
The difficulty with most boys
would be to follow a hundred and
ten of them. They serve, however,
to show what was the standard OF
good manners and morals among
those who had the training of Geo.
WaShington.-St Nicholas.

THE STRIKES AND TRADE.

There can be no doubt that the
strikes, the agitation OF the eight.hour
question and the Anarchist riots have
had the effect Of arestlng the healthy
condition Of trade developed as a re.
suit OF the dullness that prevailed 30
uniformly In 1SS4-S5. But as the
strikes have practically ended and the
Anarchists are in the hands
Of the law and there only remains
the eight hour question there lie
reason to hope with the New York
Indicator that business will soon bs
upon firmsr basic. For as the New
York Chronicle lays, "There is no
doubt a very hopeful iesling prevail
ing in business circles. Confidence in
the good sense Of the large majority
Of our people, still warrants the belief
that these labor troubles must soon
cease. The earlier contests are all
practically closed and aside from the
dynamiters, which the law will deal
with and crush, there is only the
eight hour movement to bsmet. With
the exception Of this one cause,
everything, as we have frequently re-
marked, points toward activity. How
far more favorable and reassuring han
last year the crop situation is to day
it is hardly necessary to repeat. We
can only say that the week has bu
confirmed what we have heretofore
published. Before June is out oul
railroads will have new wheat to car
~. Then there is a spirit OF enter
prise still pervading all classes, which
Is held in check for the Tins being By
the uncertainties el the moment
Only give the country a safe basis fol
lie activities and there is no doubt o.
the result"

SCHOOL ROnKS.

There is some reason to believe
thst the majority of The School Com
missioners may be prevailed uron by
the agents OF a great publishing house
to change the text books now in use
in our public schools, This would
work a great inlus ice, and must
not be done. There are three
strong reasons why IL should not
Fra-There IL no necessity for it..
Second-It wcu'd put the school chill
dren to very great and an unuec s.
sary expense. And third, it would
confuss the present methods and plans
in sll our public schools. Besides,
the books in use are among the best
that are printed, and they have the
attestAtion OF many of the best edu'
Gators snd scholars as to their value,
There is no necessity for changing
them, and they ought not to b.
changed.

TIE STATE OF TRADE.

In spite OF the stiikes, the Anarchist
riots at Chicago and Milwaukee and
the agitation Of the eight-hour ques.
ton, trade for the past week has shown
q most gratifying increase at nearly all
the important centers. The total
Of clearances is reported TO be $685.
933. 40, compared with $77l, 57l ,947
the week before, which was the
smallest total for any full week since
September 20, 1886. This is a most
gratifying exhibit, for, as the New York
Chronicle observes: "Clearings and
railroad earnings are always the last
to record rise or a fall in legitimate
enterprise. OF course the clearings
quickly reflect stock speculation, but
after a period Of depression real enter
prise has 10 great measure 10 be carried
to full ftuition before transactions can
be largely multiplied, or their results
appear in our distributing machinery.
For similar re,sous the record they
give OF q decline in activity is alike
slow--they feel 1t last" In New York
the Produces Exchange responded to
the Socialist outbreak In the West,
and for q day or two 1t seemed
to be paralyzsd, but the prompt
and successful efforts OF the au.
thorities Of the threatened cities
in restoring order, together with
the freedom OF the workingmen from
any participation, near or remote, In
the riots had the effect Of Ieassuring
the members, and they are figuring as
usual. The Chronicle reports q slight
Improvement In money during the
week, commercial paper being very
scarce. No change in rates, banks
incllning to be conservative, and buy
ing only firstolass notes. AS TO the
future Of our foreign exchanges
the same reliable authority states that
s'the market is felt to be little more
doubtful than II was. Lower rates
were anticipated with much conf.
dence % soon AZ the French loan was
awarded, buAsnow everything must OF
course depend upon the flow OF god
in Europe. III, after the announce
ment Of the awards for the French
loan, the gold recently collected by
the Bank Of France shall be to some
extent distributed, the strain would
be relieved. But II the efforts at Paris
10 draw gold continue, rs many think
they will, because of the decline in
silver (the quotation yesterday being
45td), the Bank Of England will be
forced to further raise its rate until it
stops the drain or draws from us a
sufficient supply"
