An Indian Legend.

A New-statepaper says that the
Seminole indiana believed that
when the Great Spirit created this
world he made three men, all fair
of skin. He led them to o lake
and babe themjump in. The fret
obeyed and came out winter than
when he entered the water: the
second h%esitated, going into the
lake when the water was o triffe
muddy, hence came out copper
eolored; the third leaped in fast
and came out black. According
to the legend, the Great Spirit
then led them to three bundles,
asking each to choose one. The
black man choose the heaviest,
which was found to contain spades
hoes and other implements used
in the performance of manuel
labor; the second found in his eack
a fishing rod, gun and war like
weapons, the white man chose
the sack witch contained pen,
ink and paper, and this, SO the
story goes, laid the foundation for
his superiority over other races

Gems of Thought

| Ea who Ewes Cor oshovs vii
have friends, but he who live.
Tor himself must not complain
when he finds the world forsak
ing him.
There is nothing purer thar
honesty; nothing sweeter thar
charity; nothing warmer than
love; nothing brighter than vir
tue, and nothing more stead,
fast than faith. These united
In one mind form the purest,
the sweetest, the richest, the
brightest, and most steadfast
happiness.
You want to be true, and you
are trying to be. Learn these
two things-never to be discour.
aged because good things get
on slowly here, and never to fail
daily to do that good which lies
next to your hand.
Beware of desparing about
yourself; you are commanded to
put your trust in God, and not
in yourself.
Think twice before you speak.
And even then, more often than
not the world won't lose any
thing if you keep silent.
Do not on any account let
peoples shortcomings or any
thing of that kind bother you
in the least. God leaves each
one of us our free will, and we
are accountable for ourselves.
Brooding over trouble is like
surrounding oneself with a fog;
it magnifies all objects seen
through it. Occupation Of the
mind prevents this. Any hard
work, manuel work even, gives
the mind other matters of con-
Germ, and also tires the body so
as to insure sleep.
Some men are SO good in their
own estimation that they really
believed that Christ died to save
their neighbors.

Malloy, we learn, was rails ed

time in the winter Of 1905 he went
down to Mr.. Evans place and mar

The fact that no white person was

murderer, is truly commendatory
and too much praise cannot be-
given those on the place.

Jim will get full justice for his
