“When?” ' e “At seven o’clock, on Thursday ‘morming. -We start at eight.” = “All right. You can depend upon me.”’ o : - These words were exchanged by two young men in the shaded streets of a quiet New England village. : They had been schoolmates, and were intimate friends. One was about to take leave of the old associations’ of hig'youth, and of his early manhood—the other had been invited to witness a ceremony ‘which would. unite his friend through sickness and health, through prosperity and adversity, one who had been more than a playmate to the elder in manhood. Kor afew days there liad ‘been a wide spread excitement in the little town. A colony for emigration had been organized. - The bride and groom of Thursday morning were to join the band of' emigrants: They would be the youngest married people in it. NG The mcrn was propitious. = There was a joyful wedding—then there were prayerful good wishes and sad partings.

The honeymoon had passed, and autumn succeeded summer; when, in the midst of a prairie, whose regular undulations ‘reminded the settlers of the ocean,from whose shores they had come, nearly a score of pleasant cottages surrounded a small, white church and a white school house.

"Romote from other settlements, rarely having society, other than that which they found among themselves, being congenial in tastes and opinions, the New' England secttlers were more cor-dial-——much more gloscly interested in each other's prosperity and adversity than they had been in the village from which they emigrated. ! - & From gardens around their dwellings they had gathered one rich crop; and a second time flowers had bloonied for them in the apparently boundless field, which stretched away in beautiful lines toward the distant horizon—when the census of their colony numbered one more than it did on the morning their white church was dedicated. There had not been a death—and the youngest bride was a mother.”” =

The little immigrant was what all the maids and matrons called a swéet babe. He was a large, fair child, with light curling hair, an expressive countenance and clear, blue eyes. B e When he grew large enough to rin out of doors and the men met him, as they were going to, or coming from their labors, they éalled him. bright Eyes.— The women often talked of him as a promising child, and all were proud of him as‘the first born of the settlement. e E

~ Remarkable for beauty, intelligence and goodness, when he was two years old, the settlers were, toward him, as one family. The women were hard workers; the mea had rough hands and bronzed faces, but they had tender hearts. Frequently pains we:e taken to save nice presents of cake ‘or pie for Bright Eyes, and sometimes a settler took many steps out of his way to cartry him a flower, of .a handful of berries. . 5 A - Recognizing a bond of union in love for a little chfd, the colonists were happier than men often are where honors and riches command the choicest and rarest of the peculiar privileges of reﬁnedme‘yo z Bl o .} BTy T g g

LECONIER, IND. THURSDAY,JUNE 3, 1858,

He did not, at first, appear to be much hurt, and his tather joined the winter-even-ing party. But before the hour at which the settlers were expected to seek” their homes, a violent fever disturbed his brain, and filled his mother’s heart with grievous apprchensions. “Though the succeeding morning was severely cold, and a fierce wind filled the/air with drifting snow, scarcely had the day broken ere the news was known at’ every fireside, that the hope of the settlement was dangerously ill. with fever in a brain unusually developed.— There, around a neat cottage, near the church, centered the entire interest of all the settlers. Little Bright Eyes knew no rest. Soon he did not know his father or mother. Violent spasms seized him, and irregular moans expressed a painful struggle between firm disease and a strong frame.

- At length, while his father held him in his arms, and his-mother kneeled by his side, watching for a last look of recognition, he sank into a deep stupor, from which death took him peacefully. It was Sabbath morning. Little children in their classes at- Sunday school were told that little Bright Eyes had gone to heaven. o : In the white church that day, a sermon from this text; “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not,” moved the stgrnest men, as well as ‘the weakest women. The head of the houschold from which Bright Eyes had been taken was the preacher. Every settler felt then that affliction hath bonds of union closer than the ripest pleasure can furnish. To each other they renmcwed those vows, the keeping of which would enable their beloved pastor to lead them the way, Bright Eyes had goner : -On the following evening, when the first-born of the prairie was laid in his little grave, every man, woman, and child, able to brave piercing cold, heard the clods fall on his coffin. Their hearts bled: in sympathy. The pastor knew that the shadow which had fallen over his threshold, crossed, also every threshold in the settlement. At bhis saddened home he took leave of his people in only these words;——-’l “The lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away. The Lord chasteneth whom he loveth. Blessed be the name of the Lord 2. N G |

Whoever visits now the village -of j ——, in ——— county, Towa, may witness mutual respect and forbearance among all the people; from children in the street to men at their business, an'l women in their homes, which will puzgle your understanding as much as it will challenge your admiration, unless, gpending ‘af?ngbgath there, be hears the village pastor preach the Gospel, and, affected by his pensivé countenance, learns the story 1 have poorly told, of the The Bright Eye of the Settlement. The features of this story, as true to real occurrence as my pen can make them, furnish a striking contrast to the features of a,_.:sto?, which faithfullly depicts pioneer life, as it was in the west fifty years agq.; o

pes. Lewis Paulsen, the Chess Player who recived a gold medal at the New York Chess Conventien for the extraordinary feat of playing five games at once, without seeing any board, is now astonishing the Chicago Chess players by greater marvels of mental power».é—-i He is playing ten games-simultaneous-ly against ten of the best players in Chicago, and will probably,,win\ them all. He has conducted seven games at a time in Dubuque without seeing the boards, and won. Mr. H. is thought to have norival living in' the powers of abstraction, combination, calculation, and memory. - e

st - THE BIBLR ' . _ The Bible the Best Police Officer- . % Mother, I was frightened last night by d» ffng that there were burglargs ‘%‘% ousc. But all at once I felt yery®old, and walked up to the leader of thm and said ‘Do you know the gighth commandment?” ‘No,’ said he ’tj,%- - I then repeated it to him “ﬁ;w stood still and listened. I then suidjover all the ten commandments He said he had never heard anything like them before, and asked if I had fyffiﬁg more of the same sort. I went across thie room to the table and got my little bible and read a chapter, while all the robbets stood still and listened. When I had finished the chapter they all wanted to hear tnore, and asked if I had any more like it. I told them that there was plenty more, bnt I could not read it then, for breakfast was ready; but if they would go and take breakfast with with us, I would rcad them more afterward.”

“But,” said her mother, “didn’t you call the police?” . " “Police!”” replied the child, “there was no need of the police. Don’t you you sec there was no need of the police.” s ; This is all true, and a good little story for sabbath-school teachers, and all friends of bible instruction. —— P — The Bible the best Comforter in Death. A soldier was wounded in a battle in the Crimea, and was carried from the field. He felt -that his wound was mortal—that life was fast ebbing away —and he said to his comrades who were carrying him: - “Put me down; do not take the trouble to carry me any further; I am-dy-Snptoc 0 ] Gt

' They then put him down and returned to the field. A few minutes after an officer'saw the man weltering in his blood, and asked him if he could do anything for him. ; “Nothing, thank you.” . “Shall I get you a-little water?” said the kind-hearted officer. - 8 “No, thank you; I am dying ”’ , s “Is there nothing I can do for you? Shall T writé to youtr friends?” ~ “I have no friends you can write to. But there is one thing for which I would be much obliged; In my knapsack you will find a Testament—will you open it'at the 14th of John, and near the end of the chapter you will find a verse that begins with ‘Peace.’ Will you read it?’ : - The Officer did so, and- rcad the words—Peace I leave with- you, my peace I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” sed j . “Thank you sir,” said the dying man “T have that peace; I am going to that Savior, God is with me; I want no more;” and instantly expired. ———

Printer’s Dollars, . The printer’s dollars! Whero are they ? We'll suppose one of them is in somebody’s pocket in Philadelphia, another in Boston, a third in New York, a fourth in Baltimere, while a fifth is resting securely in some city or town in the West. A dollar here and there, scattered all over towns, all over country, miles upon miles apart,, how shall they be gathered? The type founder has his hundreds of dollars against the printer, the paper maker, the building owner, the journeyman, the grocer, the tailor, and all assistance to him 1n ‘carrying on business, have their demands hardly ever-so small as a single dollar.. But the mites from here and there must be diligently gathered in ‘and svery patiently hoarded, or the where-with to discharge the large” bills will never become very bulky. We imagine the printer will have to get up an address to his widely scattered, distant dollars, something likéthis: “Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, and all manner of fractions into which ye are divided, collect yoruselves and come home! ye are wanted! Combinations of all sorts of men that help the printer to become a proprietor, gathered in such force, and demand with so ‘good reasons your appearance ‘at his counter, that northing short of a sight of you will appease them. Collect ‘yourselves, for valuable as you are in the aggregate, si mmll never repay. the cost of gathering. Come in here, in silent, sin @e,tﬁaz the printer may form you inte battalions and send you forth again to battle for him and vindicate his eredit.” s ‘I come-for the saw,sir.’ “What saucer? *Why, the saw, sir, that you borrowed of me.” ‘I borrowed no saucer.” ‘Sure you did, sir; you borrowed a saw, sir.’ g ‘nqvér' saw your saucer.” ‘But you ?gi’ there is ‘the saw, sir, now sir—‘Oh, you want the saw. .Why dido’t IR BOL iil T G not consist in length of mat 10 the right improvement of them.

““You havn’t any lover, Mary Malone .’ 2 . * -~ - F “‘;Oh,' ‘be off wid ye—ketch Mary’ Maloney getting a lover these days when the harq timesis come. No, no, thank heaven, I aint got that to trouble me yet—nor I don’t want it.’ : ¢ What on earth, then, have you got to make you happy? A drunken bro- | ther, a poor helpless sister, no mother no father, no lover, why, where do you get all your happiness from?’ : “The Lord be praised, Miss, it growd up in me. Give me a bit, of sunshine, a clean flure, plenty of work and a sup at the right time, and I’m made. That makes me laugh and sing; and then if deep trouble comes, why——God helpin” me—l'll try to keep my heart up. Sure, it would be a sad thing if Patrick M¢Grue should take it into his head to come ard ax me, but the Lord willin’, I'd try to bear up under it.”. This last speech upset wy gravity.—= The idea of looking upon a lover as an affliction was so droll! But she was cvidently eincere, having before her the example of her sister’s husband and her drunﬁen brother.. ——— @t e Yankee Notions. - A Hoosier correspondent.tells us the following good one, iow a pedler was taken in by the Spencervillians, of Spencerville of that State: e Notions drove into town and commewnced trade, when a merchant stepped up and selected goods to the amount of one dollar, and carried them into his store, and returned with a coon skin, says: | | “Sir, here is your pay for the goods.” “But hold on,” says Notions, I don’t take coon skins fot my goods. *Cant help it now,’ says the merchant; the trade is made and a coon skin is a dollar here—legal tender. ‘Well,” siys notions, ‘if them are your laws here, I guess I can stand it,’ and at once concocts a plan to get his coon skins into something available.— Getting the coon skin into as small a compass as possible, he makes for a saloon, and there concludesto: spend a quarter, Holding cone . hand ;;under. under his coat, with the other he beckons up three or four suckers, and after ,dr‘inking all around throws down the coon skin and demands. seventy-five cents in change. - i Sl g ‘Yes,' says Boniface, ‘that m%wd dollar, ?;iandy handed him three muskrat skins, and says: - Here sir i§ your ".chan‘go.l ~ Notions took his ebange and
