A poor man named Misery, w:?6 wandering
about the world, loaded with a groat
beavv crow upon his shoulders, and kept
lamenting thus : " Alas ! where shall 1 find
a partner to help me to bear my load, ami
to comfort and refresh me ?"
His lament was heard by Almighty Mercy,
who sent an angel to proclaim throughout
the world that the maid who would
marry this poor widower might expect a
rich bridal present in heaven to the angel.

" It shall be granted thee," returned the

Now Misery appeared high upon the j

heavily, mid would fain have cast himself)

The rich and the poor, the gay and the

the forsaken of the world, the stranger in

A Story of Female iHeroism.
In the course of n recent speech in Congress.
hv the I Ion. Joseph Lane, of Oregon,
he related the following incident which occurred
in the Indian war of Oregon :
While in Oregon last summer, I took
occasion to inquire of a chief who was
mainly instrumental in getting up this war,
t i learn the particulars of the fa to of s one
. ' 11 !> : .!>!. who disjinnoared in tin- war
o. 1 > >. mhI of whom wo had boon able to
learn nothing.
When I surest cd to the agent, in the
council, that ! proposed to inquire into the
fate of .Mrs. Wugner, Mrs. I Invites, and
othciv, 1)0 w;;s inclined to think that it
would raise ihe hitter feelings of the intli*
any, hut said that we would make the i iquivy.
1 told him that I hud passed through
tiie country where tlic.se people had Jived,
and that their friends were very anxious to
learn their fate. We inquired in relation
to Mrs. W inner, who was a well educated
niul hniidsome woman from New York, who
had livid lon^r in the country and spoke
1110. imiian tongue, ituentlv.
She kept a public househy the roiul side,
and tho jjood cheer which she alw .ys furnished
made it :i place where travellers deliilht"d
to stop. The Indians intern ed us
that on the mm ninj* of the '.'tit of Oet'iher
they canst; in sijrht of the house, where they
met some teamsters and packers, a portion
of whom they murdered, destroying the
wagons and cargoes, as well as thcanim;ds,
while she was standing; in the door.
As soon as they had murdered the people
outside, they came towards the house
which w s strongly built of hewn hms, and
had a heavy door. which fastened with eros.-;
L:;rs. Vv'iicn sh-."1 saw them running to

I 'I hey oaiuo to the iloor, and ordered her to
eosne out. and hrinjj lier little jrirl. She
said no."
I for husband was absent?and, hv the
way, he was the only tnan on that ro>d who
| escaped. They snid that if she did n.>t
i collie out 111oy would slio.it lu r. She declined
; and alter some deliberation, they
detenuined to set tlio house on firo. The
house was directly enveloped in flames;
and the el lief, who watched her through
little window, told me that lie saw her p:o to
the ulass and arr.injre her hair, then take
a sent in the middle of the room, fold her
little jiirl in her arms, and wait e:;lmly until
the roof fell in. and they perished in the
flames together. And the st teinent was
confirmed by the neople who found their
remains lyinj; tojirtk r in the middle of the
house.
