THE HAN
WHO LIVED WITS.
BY HIS
Lives by his wits! That's a very ex¬ traordinary expression, aud, consider¬ ing theamount of wits, and the many necessities of life to be got by them, requires cloao and careful analysis.— Whether a mau may be said to live by his own wits, rather thau by the ab¬ sence of them in other jreople, admits of doubt; though, to be sure, as a one- eyed man is a king among blind ones, so some credit must be given to the man who lives at all amongst his fel¬ low creatures. Neither is it an easy matter, after all, to come by more than one's own iu such a jostling, pushing, unscrupulous world, as this has become since the Reform Bill of '32; a period when this much-admired Constitution was supposed to have reaohed the very zenith of perfection, and to have been secured from any further tinkering, un¬ til the Greek Calends at least.
Perhaps that celebrated movement did really sharpen men's intellects; for since that time there has been a strag¬ gle and a pace wholly unprecedented. Bubble railways and companies, limit¬ ed liabilities of unlimited assurance, mines, aqueducts, tunnels, building and drainage societies, reclamation of common land and common sewage, and hundreds of other things afloat, besides the British navy, which require a cer¬ tain amount of activity and brains un¬ known, save in exceptional cases, when OeoTge IV. was king. What have be¬ come of the idlers, the dandies of that period ? Do they exist, or hide them¬ selves in rooks and caves ? Be well as¬ sured they would now be trodden down and killed if they ventured to show themselves in the crowds of hungry Greeks whose subtle and~accommoda- ting intellects pervade society west, as well as east, of Temple Bar. What would Brummell have looked like as the chairman of a gigantic hotel com¬ pany, promising its ten per cent, to some roue nobleman or some brother offlcer of the Tenth Hussars! How - would they have bartered their scrip, and apportioned tbe shares, and put flrst an eighth and then an additional sixteentli into their pockets as the price ¦ of their honorable names and services! I tell you, if those men had lived now, they would have had no more chance of living by their wits than the old Ex¬ eter Tally-ho would have of beating tlie express train with its team.
There's so much difference between greatness and goodness, that I hardly know whether to live by one's wits is a complimentary explanation of one's ca¬ reer. I rather thiuk not; and yet it ought to be. What more lioucrable oc¬ cupation can a man find for his intelli¬ gence than that of xjroviding bread aud butter for himself ? There are so many ways of doing it—uot all equally prop¬ er. But as all are seized upon by some¬ body, it behooves theatarveliug to take that which comes to hand, — and some have a talent for one tliing, some for another; but I don't thiuk much of a talent for starving in a land wliere ev¬ erybody is helping hiniself.
Men who live by their wits are not such as have a great turn for legitimate business.   I do not know that it implies even honesty;   certainly not perseve¬ rance and respectability.   It is not con¬ sistent with Exeter Hall, at first sight, though some of these  gentlemen do pretty well in that way; nor drab shorts, except as far as muffins  and a cold shoulder are concerned.' The man who sweeps a crossing has nothing to do with it, nor our bishops, colonial or otherwise.    A policeman and a parish beadle ore equally removed from it, and all who have a certain but limited in. come from government or consols. The censure, if any be conveyed, includes 'ail. who have no ostensible means of livelihood ,at all, and many men who have half a dozeu, methods of making both ends meet.   It eminently cmbra-, ces the wai& and strays of the Turf, the only book analogous to auch wit bieing a bettln^hook.    Hangers-on of great houses are Indebted for the luxuries of life to their brains;   and it is a mutual compliment to believe that they are ap-^ preciated.   Bome men pass through life very comfortably upon the only inher¬ itance of which their parents have been unable to deprive them;  and not nn¬ frequently finish by liuiding themselves In a.bayeii which, at tbe oateet of their dueer,'-mast have been'brit a'remote cbauce.

I wis skating, along, in a plain straightforward way, thinking of some¬ thing, or uothiug, et tolas in iliis, when I came suddenly in contact with a gen¬ tleman doing the spread eagl? to au ad¬ miring crowd of;ladies. Down he went, and as I stopped to apologize and assist the man in rising, I saw it was my old friend, Mr. Whistler. The place in which it happened was semi-private; and I verily believe Dick knew not a soul on the spot excepting myself; uot- wlthstftndiiig which, he had evideutly skated himself into the good graces of the women, and as a matter of jiopular- ity, was already well ahead of the oldest inhabitant.   It was quite ilia way.
"What in the worid brought you here, my dear fellow ?" said I, raising him from the ground, and assisting liim to brush off the snow; " you are not staj'ing in the Iiouse, are you?"
"Staying in the houso!—O, dear uo —is there a house? I came down for half an hour's skating, because Herbert Beauchamp told me what good ice it was. And so it is, capital." And here the speaker commenced some more evolutions, with a certain air of self- possession, and the possession of everj'T thing else within his survey.
"And what are yoii doing,  Dick ?" said I, returning to the charge. " I'm trying to do the outside edge
baekw "
"No, no, I don't mean that; I mean how are you getting on ?"
" O, capitally; I'm all right. Living by my wits, since I saw you in the spring." I jumped at onee to a conclu¬ sion, though it proved to be the wrong one, east of Temple Bar.
"Now what should you say was a good investment ? Mexican Bonds, or Canada Trunks ?—any chance of a ris.e. in these last?" and here I pulled up and spoke rather seriously. " I want to invest flve or six huudred pounds, and I dare say- i"ou know all about it." " No, indeed I don't. What in the world are Canada Truuk.si? uot hair trunks,—or breeches luaUe of buflalo hides—" By tills time, ol course, I saw that liis wits had not led him to the Stock Exchange. There was but one other course he could have gone, and I thought I might proflt by it to the ex¬ tent of a sovereign or two.
" What should you recommend for a long shot at the Derby now? I only put on a sovereign or two; so I must have your twenty or five and tweuty to one, you see. It's no use backing a favorite at seven or eight to one;" and Hooked mysterious.
"You're quite right," replied he; and I made sure I had hit upou his new occupation. " I should aay Marks¬ man, if I were you. You'll get about twenty-five to one, and be sure to have aran for your money, if the horse is all right. Besides It's better to staiid a bit of temper, than a rank bad 'nn." Bight this time, thought I, at all events.
" And so you flud it answer pretty weil,doyou?" inquired I, afterapause, " the associations are notpleasant, that's the worst of it."
"How do mean?" said he evidently all abroad.
" I mean the associations of the l;urf are not pleasant, tliough I dare say there's good business to be done there. I understood you to say you had been liviug on it lately."
" I—living on the turf? No, not ex¬ actly, my good fellow. I've been writ¬ ing for the magazines; and though I do the racing article for the Pall Mall Ga¬ zette, I can hardly be said to have gone upon the turf."
"Well, certainly not," said I, consid¬ erably relieved, though somewhat sur¬ prised ; for I should have called, his oc¬ cupation anything but living on hLs wits, tojudge by his productions.
I said that Dick Wliistier was an ac¬ quaintance of long standing,—so he is; and one of those men whose success in life Is worth a study, if only as a curi¬ osity. It can hardly be recommended as a model for imitation. As a boy nt school he always lived by his wits, so to speak; that is, without any'of the externals of other boys he was always on a par with them. In the matter of clothes, parents, parcels, and exercises, there seemed to be about Dick a great family insolvency. Nobody came to see him, nobody gave him tips, nobody sent him hampers; but ho managed to have friends, money, and pudding.— He was most essentially good humored, and endowed with a tact which never made him an enemy. I think he tried to write verses, in order that he might do other boys' exercises, but^joete naa- citur, non fit, so lie got his own done, and apologized. He had even then a talent for being among the " big fel¬ lows," and the habit lias stuck to him through life.
I heard of Dick Whistler at Cam¬ bridge. I don't know how he got there, or who sent him there. I never saw anybody who did know. He had no scIioIarship.norfeHowship.noranything else, excepting friendship, to keep him afloat. He worlvcd' that ship, copper- bottomed A 1, pretty well. He took care to be seen always with good men ; and although those wero the days of rollicking, drinking, fox-hnnting un¬ dergraduates, who left copes, and stoles, and chasubles, aud fancy vestments.to their betters, Dick Whistler left tbe university with a creditable testamur, and not overburdened witb debt. This part of his career did Iiim great credit, and paid in the long run remarkably well. His wits were not wool-gathering then.
When he came to London, hard work ought to have been his portion. It was all he bad. So' ho took chatnbers in the Temple, as a near approach to learur ing.   He was next thing to a clever fel-

Dick did not know Oliicli about liunting, but thought be coiilddo as other people, in which he was nb^ far'wrong. He left his dress to his tair lor, dud his horseflesh to the dealer, iti whom he implicitly trusted. He tried a couple of good screws, and carried them into the borders of Lord Wood¬ craft's iiunt.
" What sort of, quartera have you got^
Whistler, at Neman's Land; do tbey
do you pretty well? " Inquired my lord.
" The cookety is not quite equal to
the Trois Freres," said Dick.
"No; I should thinlc not It'sapure British public; nothing more. You've got your own claret down, I suppose?'' " Well,—no. I did n't Iritbnd to in¬ dulge in luxuries; but I must send up to town—"
" I'll tell you what you'd better do,— come to me for a mouth."
" That's very good of you; but where shall I flud stabling? " Dick had beard Woodcraft say a hundred times that he never took in dealers' horses.
"Stabling,—O, we've plenty ofhorses. Send these devils "back to town. We shall hunt at Woodmauscroft on Tues¬ day, aud you can come ou afterwards." I need uot say that Dick Whistler nev¬ er missed his month afterwards, and hired no more horses.
It was only three or four days after our meeting that the frost broke. It broke very unexpectedly on Saturday afternoon, aud notwithstanding Its se¬ verity, the snow had kept the earth warm, and there was hunting on the Monday or Tuesday iu most places.— Wlien skates were uot available, leather breeches were; so Dick changed the venue from the Regent's Park or Ser¬ pentine to Woodmauscroft; for it was a principle of his not to live louger or moreou club dinners, aud the joint, than was absolutely uecessary, though he never shrunk from the conditions of his career. I have no doubt many a mau is better off upon honestly gained bread and cheese; but then he cau hard¬ ly be said to be living by lils'wits,, how¬ ever laborious the occupation. The beauty of Dick's livelihood was, that there was no labor in it, and that it was as far removed from a bare existence, as clear turtle and Ponch a la romaine is from red-herrings and beer. Under these circumstances, and having laid down a principle to act liy, after due deliberation ho was quite right to look for fresh quarters, \vhure he knew they would befound. I record, to his shame, that he cared nothing whatever about hunting. He had certaiu instincts of sport about him like the '^ild Indian, it is true, but they cxteuded no further thanself-preservatioii. Hunting a fox ofall uneatable aud unpoelical things in the world, was aotper se to Dick's taste. It was accompanied with some danger and much inconvenience. But then the sport was as essential to Dick's wants just now as hunting tbe moose or buffalo is to the wants of the wild Indian. ItwashisobjecttobeatWood- manscroft, and he kept his object in view as steadily as the Indian did his dinner, and with as little idea of being turned aside from it.
And this object now had got beyond the there pleasures of a good dinner or society, and had licked itself into a tan¬ gible sh.ipe. Dick Whistler had de¬ termined uponmarrying an heiress; an heiress of good appearance and high family, who happened at the present time to be one of Lord Woodcraft's dis¬ tinguished guests.
Lady Dorothy Peachom was theonly surviving daughter of the late Lord Blossoiiiville, and had forty thousand poundsof her own. She was a good- looking woman of eight-and-thirty, at a liberal calculation; and the only won¬ deris, that none of the penniless For¬ eign Offlce clerks, or mediieval majors of her own rank in life, had carried her off long before. However, there she was; and when Dick Whistler reached his noble host's hospitable loof, Lady Dorothy was very far from the least im¬ portant person under it.
They did some hunting on 'Wednes¬ day and Thursday. Dick got a fail from » not very tractable young'un to which my lord's groom had treated him for flrst horse; and Lord Swansdown 'vas nearly drowned in the river, which had overflowed its banks. Lady Dorothy did not hunt, but Cicely Prevost, the baronet's daughter, did; and engaged the attention of Major Thrustham, of the Guards, to his intense disgust, who lost the best twenty minutes of the sea¬ son in shortening the lady's stirrup.
" It really looks as if the frost was gone," said his lordship, coming home on tne Thursday' evening in a warm fog, with asouthwesterly breeze;" what do you think, Swansdown ? "
."Devilish cold," said Lord Swans¬ down: "anyhow, I'm shivering."
"O, you've been in the water; no wonder you feel cold; but look at the sky." So they all looked at the sky, which gave a cheerful promise of a fall on the morrow. " I wish it may n't be snow," said Dick, thau wliich, how¬ ever, he desired nothing more earnestly. Fortune favors those who live by tlieir 'wita, and in the present cose she did so pre-eminently. Siie postponed the pleasures of at least a dozen people in one house, and thousands in other houses, to make an opportunity for a— well—a fortune-hunter, whioh may ac¬ count for the preference. Tbe impossi¬ bility of making love in a slx-daya-a- week country Is obvious. The morn¬ ing ateorbs an elaborate toilet, a hur. ried breakf^t, muchcomforterand pea- jacket preparation, and a drive. The afternoon, if ybu return soon enough, baths, slippers, a dressing-room fire, letters to answer, and a less elaborate but equally-needful toilet.   Dinueryab-

An embryo chancellor was on his stair-^ case, and the, future Master of the Bolls lived opposite to lilm. As to Dick, he was to be seen any day on some good- looking hack, not his own, capering or soberly walking in the park, according to circumstances. He accommodated himself, too, to the club gridiron aud a pint of stout, or to a French menu and Meet's very flne dry, with the- same good humor. He never was-without the one or the other, and he tried to look as if he'didn't care .which, and almost succeeded..

who was Dick Whistler that he should «xpect to take iniLady Dorothy Peach¬ om, while Plantagenets of the Foreign Offlce, and Tndor6 of the Housebold Brigade, were there before him? He envied them their opportunities, and despised their apathy.
As he lay in bed on the Friday morn¬ ing; he was cuiBing the thaw, and look¬ ing at his boots with a savage anlm'dsi- ty, when the servant appointed tb Ibok after his welfare, knocked at his door, andbpened his sbutteia.

How little tbey know of tbe business!
The frost continued, and some men weuttosboot their own co'vers, some the covers of other people.. i>lok sent for his skates, by Lord .'Woodcraft's de¬ sire, and:80 did one or two more. The ladles were already provided, and it was quite clear tbat Dick's chance -was better at tbrchiight picnics and lunch¬ eons on the lake than It taad^been hith¬ erto. Still, LadyDorotbydidnottbaw much; ahd she was a lady well calcu¬ lated tb hold ber own, unless she meant to relinquish it voluntarily.
Lady Woodcraft was a cheerful wo¬ man, and baving still a detrimental or two from the Household Brigade, with Miss Cicely Prevost, left behind, was bent upon doing something to amuse her friends; so she organised a tent on the lake, with flambeaux and totchlight procession, to come off when the safety of herself and her followers' would be assured by the thickness of the iee.^ The tenants were to be there, and ail theinliabitanlsof.tbeneighborhoodwho liked to come; and there were to be oakes and tea, and wine and cherry brandy, and as much strong beer as Hodge could dispose of to his satisfac¬ tion.
And in a week's time it did come off, —what people call " old-fashioned."   I hope they'll remain so, or better still, go out altogether.    Their severity is, however, relieved by  an  exceptional loveliness, as on the night in question, wlien Lady Woodcraft, and Lady Do¬ rothy Peacham,  and Cicely Prevost made their way to the lake, with Lord Woodcraft, Major Thrustham, and half a dozen Guardsmen and country-house Idlers, the busiest of whom was Dick Whistler; for it was he who arraugedi —what nobody else would a.rrange,— thequadrllle, the tent, the bonfire, the procession, and tlie chorus of school¬ children and choristers; and, consider¬ ing he was a nobody, he really got as much attention aud obedience as could lie expected.   Nobody knows how hard it Is for a nobody to mako himself any¬ body among thesomebodles.   He would have had a charade, but that was a phinge even before Dick's Impudence, and he left It bi somebody who thought It too oold.   However, there were the lovely trees, extending round two thirds of the lake to the very edge of the wa¬ ter, with their myriads of silver-frosted twigs, glistening (for there had been no wind in the late frost), like nature's fretted Gothic, against tlie clear sky.— Here and there the fiivtrees bent tlieir branches to the Ice, weighed with the undlsturbed.snow, and the icicles hung pendent from the picturesque old boat- house nearly in the form and size of stalacUtes.   AU was lltup by the blaze of pine-wood torches; and if the furs and bright-colored rilibons and velvets of tbeladies ofthe house threw a warm and cheerful glow over the lake, as they glided smoothly along on their skates, the farmers' daughter and the peasant girls, with tbelr bright red petticoats, helped the animation of the scene,  as they spread themselves about In groups witb  their companions.    The  sharp night air was out by   their  cheerful voices, and the business of the scene and the -warmth of the welcome hod obliterated the recollection that there were ten degrees of frost in the air.
"In the midst of life—" no, rather let me say,   "No   man, fortunately, knows how .closely allied are our hap¬ piest moments-to great calamity;" few even suspect It.   Cows must be water¬ ed, even In a frost, and to the detriment ofgood ice; and for this purpose, on the farther side of tbe lake, and In one of its most beautiful spots, overhung by tbe crystallized trees, it had been fonnd necessaiy to break the ice for some lit¬ tle distance round. Many of the skaters had gone bome; some were preparing for a start even now ; most of those from the " big bouse" were trudging up the steep-bill which led to tbe garden-gate and terrace which looked down upon the lake.   Two or three of the men stUl remained, and with them Dick Whist¬ ler.  Lady Dorothy, devoted to skating, was oblivloua of Lady Woodcraft, and was prolonging her enjoyment.   They were under the trees still, near tbe wa- tedug-place; and ignorant (especially by torchlight) of the danger at band. A few spectatora were tbere, ¦watching Lady Dorothy and Mr. Whistler, who was doing his best.   At once, wltbout a mementos notice, th'e ice broke, and Lady Dorothy fell In. Such an accident at night, even by torchlight, is calcula¬ ted to arouse alarm.   The extent of tbe danger was unknown, and the yokels held back from fear;  the Guardsmen were not much better; they came rush¬ ing to the spot, but beyond calling to Lady Dorothy, they did little for her preservation,  Dick Whistler was more at home, and, really anxious to be of service to the lady, proceeded more sys- teuiutically.   It wus a moment for ac¬ tion, not poetry.
" Take hold of that!" said Dick, ex¬ tending his stick with one hand, and holding a torch with the other. '' Now then, Laiiy Dorothy, try to reach It!" and be leant oyer still more. The lady's clothes held, her on the surface for a moment; but tbey were becoming sat¬ urated, and she exhansted. She made a vlolenteffort,' however, and caught the stick. . But Dick Wblstler bad neglect¬ ed to take hold of any one for support, and thb sodden Jerk broke the edge of tbeIcepn wbleh he ^tOod, and pulled him.in.

SELIOIOUS IKSTBUCTIOir AT HOKE.
A recent writer offers the following suggestion to parents:
" We must not forget the importance of striving to cultivate a frank confl¬ dence aud sympathy In the relations of home. It has seemed to me, in mony eases to which I have siven some study, thot the great privileges and opportu¬ nities which parents enjoy, areoften destroyed by their allowing great walls of spiritual distance and alieuation to rise between themselves and their chil¬ dren. It Is sad to see the children of a family growing up into manhood and womanhood, and we often see them, having as littie acknowledged commu¬ nion orreligious life with their parents as if thoy were a parcel of beats' cubs; never hearing from father or mother a simple, earnest avowal of religious faith, much less the simplest words of wor¬ ship ; trained by their parents' reserve to keep to their own bosoms whatever religious emotion the Spirit of God mity have quickened there; and findiiig the first sympathy and mutual confession which win fan the faint sparfcj of wor¬ ship and consecration on their hearts' altars intoa blazing flame—finding this, for the first time, after they have gone from their childhood's home. While I appreciate the power of a religious at¬ mosphere and of religious observances in Christian nurture, it seems to me that this habitual religious confidence IS the most efficient and indispensable. Gain the perfect trust and affection of' your child, in the early years when It looks to youfwlth such religious awe as you look to" God, and when the quiet home Is its only temple, opens the heart to yonrs in the deepest religious, con- fessloo, and keeps it cpen through the cbnnglngyears, and you can accomplish everything with that child for nurture and blessing. No Aladdin's wonderful lamp, no magician's potent wand could be more sovereign in controlling the spirits of the vast deep, and in working miracles of beauty and majesty, than eon the simple power of your hold upon the child's love and confidence become in controlling its most turbulent pas¬ sions and buiiding up In its soul the. loveliness and grandeur of ChrisUy character.
JAPAITESE SOCIAI. LIFE. A family of the middle class general¬ ly live in a low house, with a thatched roof.    Tbe houses are fcuilt in this way for safety against earthquakes, which are common.    About a century ago, 100,000 people lost their lives in Jeddo, by an earthquake.    The husband gen¬ erally has but one wife;   polygamy is allowed, and the wealthier men some¬ times many several wives,   to show their Independence of.cuatom, or their ability to support a large establishment. The marriage bond is esteemed sacred and is rarely broken.     Where his mar- tail rights are invoded, the husband may kill his wife and her paramour to¬ gether, without fear of punishment. — Families generally take their meals to¬ gether, the husband sitting a little apart from the rest, to show his superior dig¬ nity.   At night the family always, go through a form of worship,   putting their heads down and extending their hands In invocation of their deity.   In the morning the father goes to the door, opens it, claps bis hands and invokes the god of day.    The morning meal is soon ready and eaten, and the children are seut off to school, where they all learn reading, writing and calculating, and the girls sewing, besides.   The wo¬ men are well treated,  not being com¬ pelled to do heavy out-door work, and being admitted to many of the lighter avocations, such as that of clerk or bookkeeper In a store.    .The wife aud older daughter share also in the recrea¬ tions of the head of the family.
Matrimonial matches are generally made up by the pareiita or friends of the parties interested. After the pre-, liminaries have been discussed the par¬ ties themselyes are consulted. If they object strongly, the match is not con¬ summated, but filial obedience is made so imperative a duty that tbis does not often happen. When the preliminaries are fully agreed upon the parties are openly betrothed, with the exchange of prbsents, and this betrothal Is rarely broken. Among the upper classes a widow may not many again, bnt in the lower classes she may. She follows her first husband to his grave with an iron pot on her head, her second; if she out¬ lives him, 'with two iron pots, andsoon. Death Is to tbe-oriental mind the one inevitable fate. Hence it Is looked upr on with comparative indifference, and in the funeral ceremonies tbere is no solemnity, but often the greatest levity. In the country all, are burled In ceme¬ teries, which are well pared for.. Inthe cities both burial and cremation are practiced. The pebple generally have a strong desire to be burled iri the ah- cestral'burial lot.

A STOKY^oSraFHTTIJEFOIKS
THE TEEACIIEROUS INDIAK. In a little mining town on the bor¬ ders of Lake, Superior lived Emily Mountjoy; the young daughter ofa min¬ ing superintendent. She bad been on¬ ly a little while a dweller In that -wild, strange region. Henry Starr, a young man of twenty, who was employed as a book-keeper iu the mining offlce, one day invited her to take a horaeback ridp into the deep forest with him. So, one pleasant Saturday afteruoou in July, they set out. After riding an hour or two through the wilderness, they saw the smoke from an Indian wigwam ris¬ iug up, and Starr, who hod been there before, offered to stop. Emily, who had never seen an Indian wigwatn, gladly agreed.
Dismounting, and fastening their horses, our frieuds approached the wig¬ wam, and looked in at the door. A womon was cooking some fish ou a flre inthe middle of the habitation, and near her lay a long-legged Indian, on his breast. He was smoking a stone- bowled pipe, with a stem some two feet loug. The man aud woman glanced at their unexpected visitors, as they alight¬ ed from their horses, but said not a word, nor stirred a limb in token of their presence.
Not so indifferent, however, were a couple-of black-eyed Indian children, wno had been kicking up their heels on the gross outside. These immediately ran to the wigwam, aud stood leaning against Its side, each of them vigorous¬ ly sucking a copper-colored thumb.
The wigwam was about six feet high, built of a sort of bamboo below, and of birch-bark above. Its supports were slight poles, stripped of their bark. A rude bench stood inside, covered with mats, serving os a bed by night and a dining-table by day. Arouud the wig¬ wam, inside, were hung various dried herbs and Indian trinkets. A barrel half full of fresh fish stood outside the door, or the opening in front whioh an¬ swered as a door.
Thus much could easily be seen from without; but Henry Starr now went np to tbe habitation, and put ills head in at the door.
" Howare you. Chip?" he asked, with a good-natured smile. "Boojou/" grunted the Indian. Emily, who was close at Henry's heels, did not know what this utterance signified, but her companion Immedi¬ ately explained to her:—
" He means to say ' good day.' The word he used Is a sort of corruption of the French bonjour, which I flnd these Indians are In the habit of using."
" Con be speak French ?" asked Em¬ ily.
" I believe it is a sort of mongrel tongue they talk," said Henry; " half French and half Chippewa, and a little worse to understand than either of the languages simply. You can try him." "Parlez-vousFrancois?" asked Em¬ ily of the Indian.
He turned a dull, staring gaze upon her, and muttered some unintelligible response,- which Emily could make nothing of.
- " When I was liere before," said Hen¬ ry, " there was a boy here wlio spoke tolerable English; but neither this man nor his wiie can talk with us. About the only English expression they know is an oath. These Chippewas always swear in our language. Quite a compli¬ ment to our civilization—isn't it? There is no oath in the Cliippewa tongue. But I am afraid we shan't have a very interesting visit witli our friends here to-day. Pantomime won't do much good with them, eitlier, they ore so stupid."
" Do you suppose they will care if we go inside ?"
" O, no—I never knew an Indian to object to visitors. Come in with me,'' They entered the wigwam. Much to Henry's surprise, the Indian lying on the ground sprang to his feet suddenly with a bound, and glared npon his guests with a very ugly expression in his bloodshot eyes. After staring aminute, he produced a bottle from his pocket, and took a strong pull at it; and, look¬ ing at tbem again os flercely as before, uttered a deep " ugh!"
" What's the matter, old chap ?" said young Starr, somewhat Interested, but not particularly alarmed.
"UghI" grunted the Indian again, shrugging his shoulders.
" O, let us go!" cried Emily; " he may harm ns."
" He shall not touch you, child," said Henry, caressingly; " he has got a lit¬ tle too much flre-water aboard—that's all. These Indians are far too cowardly -to touch a white man In the vicinity of asettlementwitboutstrongprovocation. Nevertheless, ifyou wish it, we'll be off."
As they turned to go, Emily's eye fell upon a curious piece of fanned copper, such as may be seen frequently In the wigwams of these Indians; and she paused an instant out of curiosity. ;" Why, what a strange lump that is!" rold she; " what is It here for ?"
" Tbat is a irotJ," said Henry; "these creatures worship those bits of copper. Lake Superior Is a divinity to the Chljipewas who dwe.ll upon its border, and wheu they chance to flnd one of these bits of formed copper under the waters of the lake, it is received as a young god—a sort of godllng, you know, presented them by the old lake god." " What heathenism!" " They .are real natural curiosities, though, some of them," said Henry, taking the bltof copper in bis hand and extending it to his companion.
Instantly the rum-maddeoed Chip¬ pewa, inflamed by this outragie, as be deemed It, to bis idol, sprang forward shputihg, " How! how I 'how!" at the top of hia voice, and striking Henry a fearful  blow on  tbe head' with  his clenched  flst. In  which he held'his stone pipe, kuotiklng the young man down and. stunning bim—partly by the blow and partly by bis head stdklng ia^idli8t the woodbn'beneh as h^-'leU. > -'; T^'lMdlan wMtt the-aptof to^^ Ing np'theaEsanlt wltbfnrthervlolbh'oe;

The'Indlan was sobered instadtly by the horrible,-spbbtaclb which pr^.nted iteelfiin.tbbse six little botes'of death; for the .deadly terror in which these Lake .Snperioir Cltippewas hold every spaoles'bf fire^tunu'lsMMiarkaiile'; thirji neyet.can he'/coaxed] br bullied Intd taking a gun :or.t)istoliinto their own hands. He drew back in consternation. "The sqiiaw over the fire had scarcely condescended to pay any attention to the quarrel up to this moment; but now she looked up, reflecting the man's fear in her face.
Emily rose from lier stooping posture, and, .still keeping the Indian " cover¬ ed," with the revolver, quietly signed to his wife that sbe wished her to bathe and restore the stunned young man.
Oui, oui—yo, yo."' ejaculated the squaw, and hastened to obey.
It required little effort to restore Hen¬ ry to eonscioiisness ; and he. wos not a littie amozed when he perceived the tender-hearted girl, who would not see a bird Imrt, keeping the big Chippewa cowed in tt corner with the revolver. " Well done. Miss Emily," said he. Then, os he realized the Intense lu- dlcrousness of the situation, he broke out into a hearty flt of laughter.
"Keep him quiet. Miss Emily," said he, still laughing. "Wait a minute till I get this handkerchief tied around my head, andthen—I'm not much'hurt, but I'll give this fellow a thorough frightening before I leave him. There! now I'm all right."
Taking the revolver from Emily's hands, Henry leveled it upon the Chip¬ pewa, and commanded him to stand up. The Indian obeyed, understanding the sign that accompanied the order.
" Now travel!" said the yonng man, with a glance at the door and a nod of his head.
The Indian walked out into the open air.
Pointing to a tall pine, Henry signi¬ fied to tlic Chippewa to mount it, and laughed quietly at the hang-dog alacri¬ ty with which the savage scrambled up the tree.
"Holt!" he sung out, when the In- dion had reached the first limb.
The Indian halted, and looked arouud at his persecutor.
"Squat!" Henry cried again; and the Indian squatted ou the limb. " It's curious," said Henry to his companion, " what a sharpeoing it gives the fellows' wits, the sight ofthis revolver."
"You are not going to harm him, though, Mr. Starr?" said Emily, tim¬ idly.
"Not in theleast," said Henry; "but I am goiug to give him such a scare that he wiil remember me ag long as he lives. It ia the only wise course to pur¬ sue with these fellows, as I have learned by long experienee; though, indeed, every man knows that who knows any¬ thing of the nature of an Indian. What the red man may have been in tlie day wheii he was undisputed lord of the forest, I cannot tell, though I suspect thot a great deal that we have read iu books about him is sentimental trash, and untruthful; but one thing is cer- ttio, and that is, that the red man of to-day is tho lowest type of a human being that dwells on the American con¬ tinent—far below the negro in moral wortli as well as in mental power. The hord fact that stauds before us in the red man of to-day, is, that lie is a stu¬ pid, .hoggish, cruel, and cowardly crea¬ ture, unworthy of the title of man. Through his fears you can rule him with an irou rod—but in no other way." Wliile making thia long speech, Hen¬ ry had been assisting Emily to remount and had also untied and remounted his own horse.
" Keep a careful rein on your horse," said he; "she may start when I fire; my own animal will not mind the re¬ port—sho is accustomed to it." " Are you going to fire, then ?" " I am; but I shan't hurt him. Per¬ liaps you don't know. Miss Emily, thot I am an unerring marksman. I men¬ tion it so that you may feel quite un¬ disturbed. I never miss my aim. I am goiug to clip off o lock of that fellow's hair."
Then, raising his revolver, he seut forth the ball, and it went true to Its mark. The Chippewa howled with affriglit, but he was not hurt. Another shot foliowed, putting a hole in the edge of the frightened Indian's frock.
The squaw stood in the lodge-door, with wide-stretclied mouth.
" Boojou."' sold Henry, tossing her a dollar; .and witii this they rode away.

KSOCKED ABOUT.
It is a good thing for a young man to be knocked about in the worid, though his soft-hearted parents may not think so. All youths, or if not all, certainly nineteen-twentleths of the sum total, enter life with a surplusage of self-con¬ ceit. The sooner they ore relieved of it the better. If, inmeasuringthemselves with wiser and older men, they discov¬ er that it is unwarranted, and get rid of It gracefully, of their own accord, woll and gnnd ; if not, it ia desirable, for their own s.tkes, tbat it be knocked out of them.
A boy wiio is sent to a large school soon finds his level. His will may liave been paromount at home; but school¬ boys ore democratic in their ideas, and if arrogant, he Is sure to be thrashed into a recognition of the golden rule. Tbe world isa great public sehool, and it soon teaches a new pupil his proper place. If he has the attributes that be¬ long to a leader, he wiil be Installed Into theposition ofleader; if not, what¬ ever his own opinion of his abilities may be, he will be compelled to fall back with the rank and flie. If not des¬ tined to greatness, the next best thing which he can aspire to is respectability; but no man can be either truly great or respectable who is vain, pompous, and overbearing.
By the time the novice has found his legitimate social position, be the same Kigh or low, the probability is that the disagreeable traits of his character will be softened down or worn away. Most likely the process of abrasion will be rough, perliaps very rough; but wheu It is all over, and he begins to see him¬ self as others see bim, and not as reflect¬ ed In the mirror of self-conceit, he will be thankful tbat he has run the gaunt¬ let, and arrived, though by a rough road at self-knowledge. Upon the whole whatever loving mothers may thin'k to tbe contrary, it Is a good thing for youths to be knocked about in tlie world; it makes men of tbem.
