Vnu'vo linrl. lmve you not, ir the proverb OJr yrimilmothfrs ««.* 1 to tell— That it won't do to carry one's pitcher

Too oft to the fount or the wll?" For that, sooner or later, forjjettinx The counsels their wisdom hath sj»oken, \Ve slm'.l trip in our pathway of follv,

And iiur vessels lie shattered and broken.

So I've found it, alas! to niv sorrowMany times to tlie fount of flirtation My pitcher I carried—ne'er dream Inn

Of clanger in such occupation. Hut, ah once too often I ventured,

Where under the sun were my ciiance.-?

All, well! it is useless to blame you, Though henceforth my happiness ceases Til •.! wine of delight" can't be carried

In a pitcher all broken to pieces! There is one thing alone to console me— Though vanquished—rny colors deserting— I've yielded alone to a hero!

In books he is tall and tawny, muscular, stiaight, and of kingly presence be has a beaked nose and an eagle eye.

His hair is glossy, and as black as the raven's wing out of its massed richness springs a sheaf of brilliant feathers in his ears and nose are silver ornaments on his arms and wrists and ankles are broad silver bands and bracelets his buckskin hunting suit is gallantly fringed, arid the belt and the moccasins wonderfully flowered with colored beads and when rain bowed with his war-paint, he stands at full height, with his crimson blanket wrapped about him, his quiver at his back, nis bow and tomahawk projecting upward lroin his folded arms, and his eagle eye gazing at specks against the far horizon which even the paleface's field-glass could carcely reach, he is a being to fall down and worship.

His language is intensely figurative. Ho never speaks of the moon, but always of "the eve of the night nor of the'wind, but as "the whisper of the Great Spirit and so forth and so on. II is power of condensation is marvellous. In some publications he seldom savs anything but Waugh and this, with a page of explanation by the author, reveals a whole world of thought and wisdom that before lay concealed in that one little word. lie is noble. He is true and loyal not even imminent deatli can shake his peerless faithfulness. Hi* lumrt is a well-spring of truth, and of generous impulses, and of knightly magnanimity. With him. gruitude is religion do him a kindness, and at th" end of a lifetime lie has not forgotten it. JCai. of his bread, or oiler him yours, anil his bond of hospitality is sealed—a bond which is forever inviolable with him. lie loves the dark-eyed daughter of the forest, the dusky maiden of faultless form and rich attire, the pride of the ribe, the all-beautiful. He talks to her in a low voice, at twilight, of his deeds on the war-path and in the chase,' and of the grand a. hievments of his ancestors and she listens with downcast eyes, while a richer hue mantles her duskvcheek."

Such is I he Noble Red -Man in print. Hut. out on the plains and in the mountains, not being on dress parade, not being gotten up to see company, he is under no obligation to be other than his natural self, and therefore:

He is little, ami scrawny, and black, and 'dirty and, judged by even the most charitable of our canons of human exeellencen, is thoroughly pitiful and contemptible. There is nothing in his eye or his nose that is attractive, and if tfiero is any thing in his hair that—however, that is a feature which will not bear too close examination. He wears no feathers in his hair, and no ornament or covering on his head. His dull-black, frowsy locks hang straight down to his neck behind, and in front they hang just to his eves, like a curtain. being cut straight across the forehead, from side to side, and never parted on top. He has no pendants in his ears, and as for his—however, let us not waste timo on unimportant particulars, but hurry along. Ho wears no bracelets on his arms and ankles his hunting suit is gallantly fringod, but not intentionally when'hedoes not wear his disgusting rabbit-skin robe, his hunting suit consists wholly of the half of a horse blanket brought over in the 1'inta or a May-ilower, and frayed out and fringed by inveterate use. Hois not ricli enough to possess a belt he never owned a moccasin or wore a shoe in his life and trulv he is nothing but a poor, tilt by, naked scurvy vagabond, whom to exterminate were a charity to the Creator's worthier insects and reptiles which he opposses. Still, when contact with the white man has given to tlie Noble Son of the Forest certain cloudy impressions of civilization, and aspiratioms after a nobler life, ho presently appears in public with one boot on and one shoe—shirtless, and wearing ripped and patched and buttonless pants which he holds up with his left hand his execrable rabbit-skin robe (lowing from his shoulders—an old hoop-skirt on, outside of it -a necklace of battered sardine-boxes and oystercans reposing on his bare breast -a venerable flint-lock musket in his right hand—a weather-beaten stove-pipo hat on, canted gallusly to starboard, and the lid otT and hanging b\ a thiead

That season is tho Hummer, and tho prey that a numbor of tho tribes hunt is crickets and grasshoppers Tho wurrors, old men, women, and children, spread themselves abroad in the plain and drive tho hopping creatures before them into a ring of tiro. I could doseribo tho feast that then follows, without missing a detail, if I thought tho reader could stand it.

Alt history and honest observation will show that tho Red Mad is a skulking coward and a windy braggart!, who strikes without warning—usually from an ambush or undercover of night, and

And the snares, by you raits manufactured, nearly always bringing a force of a^iout Oauifht rny feet in their innocent tripping,

And rny poor little heart has been fractured.

five or six to one against his enemy kills helpless women and little children, and massacres the men in their beds and then brags about it as long as he lives, and his son and grand-son and great grand-son after him glorify it among the heroic deeds of their ancestors." A regiment of Fenians will till the whole world with the noiso of it w^en they aro getting ready to invade Canada lnit when the Red man declares war, the first intimation his friend the white ..an whom he supped with at twilight has of it, is when the war-hoop rings in his ears and the tomahawk sinks into his brain. In.June, seven Indians went to a small station on the Plains where three white men lived, and asked for food it was given them, and also to aeco. They stayed two hours, eating and smoking and talking, waiting with Indian patience for their customary odds of seven to one to offer, and as soon as it came they seized the opportunity that is, when two of the men went out, they killed the other the instant heturned his back to do some solicited favor then they caught his comrade5 separately, and killed one, but the other escaped.

The Noble Red Man seldom goes prating loving foolishness to a splendidily caparisoned blushing maid at twilight. No he trades a crippled horse, or a damaged musket, or a dog, a gallon of grasshoppers, and an inefficient old mother for her, and makes her work like an abject slave all the rest of her life to compensate him for the outlay. He never works himself. She builds the habitation, when they use one it consists in hanging half a dozen rags over the weather side of a sape-bush to roost under gatliersand brings home the fuel takes care of the raw-boned ponv when they possess such grandeur" she walks and carries her nursing cubs while he rides. She wears no clothing save the fragrant rabbit-skin robe, which her great-grandmother before her wore, and all the blushing" she does can be removed with soap and towel, provided it is only four or live weeks old and-not caked.—Mark Twain in /September Galax /.

This is not a fancy picture I have seen it many a time in Nevada, just as it is here limned.

VIG1 IT BETWEEN A FOXY AND A HOG.

I had ridden home one afternoon, upon my little sturdy Tough Dick, and, turning" him loose in the stable-lot, poured upon the ground a quantity of corn to serve him as dinner. Lpon this, a huge boar, nearly as large and quite as heavy as the pony, trotted up, unbidden, to'take part in tho repast. Tough Dick, not iking the company, nor the loss of his provender, bit the hog, who in return threw up his tusk, catching tho pony's nostrils upon tho point inflicting an ugly little wound. Quick as thought almost, the pony wheeled and planted his two ironed hoels upon tho boar's side. The blow sounded like that of a flail, and rolled the hog over. Nothing daunted, he regained his legs and again made at the little horse. The plucky creature was ready for him, and again sent the hog rolling. 'i'his second charge seemed to give the boar a realizing sense of the inequality of the contest. Regaining his feet again, he trotted some paces away, and stood contemplating his foo from under his long oars, grinding and snapping his jaws in wrath and disgust. Tough Dick, with his ears drawn back, evetl his antagonist as if expecting a renewal of tho conflict. After some seconds the boar began walking in a circle about the ponv. Ho kept beyond tho reach of his "hoels, and would at times walk and at times trot and all the while Tough Dick kept his eye on and his heels towards his foe.

This continued for some time, and might have ended in the hog's retreat, but tho pony was hungry and aggravated at the interruption to his meal. In an unhappy moment he attempted to take a mouthful of corn. The boar siezing the advantage, rushed in. Escaping tho heels, he charged in under the bellv of tho pony, ami would have inflicted an ugly wound with his tusks, but the force of his attack carried him beyond the point of danger, and before ho could escape, tho wicked pony had him by the ear, precisely as a dog would have caught him. The boar squealed dismally, and began turning so as to bring his tusks under the throat or jaw of his enemy. Slowly but steadily ho swung around, suffering intense torture in the twisting jjivon his unhappy -ear. Finding ,tno hog li do been' pulling,with their entire weight against each other, and tho unexpected release staggered the hog, and ere he could recover, a well-directed kick rolled him over.

kely to gain his point, the pony sudpnlv released the ear. The two had

lle is ignoble—-base and treacherous, and hateful in every way. Not even imminent.death can startle him into spasm of virtue. The ruling trait of all savages is a if rood and sonsuininff sol" fishnesn, una in our Noble Red Man it is found in it* amplest development. His ho:*rt is cesspool of falsehood, of treacherv, and of low and devilish instincts. 'With him, gratitude is unknown emotion and when one docs him a kindness, it is safest to keep the face toward him, lost the reward be an arrow in the back. To accept of a favor from him is to assume a debt which you can never repay to his satisfaction, though vou bankrupt yourself trying. To give "him a dinner when ho is starving, is to precipitate the whole hungry trilo upon your hospitality, for ha will go straight and fetch them, men, •"women, children, and dogs, and these they will huddle patiently around your door, or ilatton their noses against your "window, day after day, gazing beseechingly upon every mouthful you take, and unconsciously swallowing when vou swallow!

SOMK very curious phenomena have boon observed in the Mississippi river lately, if we are to believe a St. Ixniis re|Krter, who, after a visit to the wharf one day, came back and wrote as follows "The sun shone resplendent, and as its rays kissed the beautiful ripples made upon the losom of the great Father of Waters, each wavelet see met! to shed a crystal tear that rolled from its crest aud lioated on to love another."

The pithiest sermon ever preached: "Our ingress in life is naked and bare, our progress in life is trouble and care our ogress out of it is wo know not where but doing well hero, we shall do well there."
