TWENTY- ONE,
I'm twwtj-OM jmn old to-day,
An Indepandant mm;

i I tm outgrowm,
Til gladly laara aay daddy i wlnga
To aatl a poo aay nm.
A faU-Badgod nun, a tall yoong ma
A proud young man aa I;
My youth ta done, I m tweoty-ooo—
I’m old aaoogh to fly.
Kow I can rote for Pratldonl
Upon election day,
An' acne will wold me Sunday night*,
When late 1 chance to etay.
IN* left my gingham aproa* odt,
A long-tailed coat to wear,
An’ on my chin I’ll eoon begin
To grow a crap o’ hair.
Okerwa—
A full-fledged mail; a tall young man,
A frond yowng man ana I;
Below my uoaa my muetache frowo—
I'm oU emongh to fly.
Tdil from that moment looked aponLfr-
iogstood M a great hero, end thoa began
one ol thodd ftiepdehipfl which nothing

'fixee went on, and there crept into
the poor Indian’* life the old, oh. .lory
of thrpein and sweetneu of a %reat
low*.
Lieut, Livingetcoe inauted oa atar-
riage aooording to both the ritea m the
chorea and the rad man, and according
to the testimony of tboae who knew the
parti ea it wee eoneammated. In the
meantime rumor, with her thousand
tongue*, spread the story far and wide
till it reached the homes of the Liring
stones in New York. The Lieutenant’s
mother was plunged into aa aseess of
theme and indignation at her san’a con
duct; the father had a fit of most un-
aristocratie rage, and the reliant old
r
i
i
were kw her use through the long wfau
ter when ahe would here to wear Yu

about her for a cloak and around her
feet for moccasins. AQ the other arti
cles had definite uses according to In
dian supematuralism, but the aignifl-
oanoe of moat of them the soldiers could
not determine.
In the account it wae stated that Mrs
Livingstone, mother of the Lieutenant,
was searching for her aon’a child. Her
search will be in vain, for it died a short
time after the death of ita mother, and
its little aarooghagot is placed on a
smaller and shorter system of raised
poles beside that of Pauline.
Lieut Livingstone was not present at
the intombment of his bride, and was
not heard of by the garrison for a long
time afterward. Later ranees state
positively that he is dead, and it ia said
he ended his rather romantic life on a
voyage to Europe.

" Wall, there ain’t no profit in a hired

Spotted Tail may not at first hav#
looked with favor upon his daughter's
ohoioa, but, whatever bad opinion be may
have had of tha Lieutenant wm ohinged
by a little episode in which tha
Lieutenant was a participant. Some of
the Sifttn had lately been preying on
tite garrison and had stolon their horaea.
Spotted Tail's men were hostile to them,
and lookei eagerly for the vengeance
which they knew their wliite friends
would visit on the Sioux. A little band
of soldiers, in which wm included Lieut,
Livingstone, started out, accompanied
by two Indian guides from Spotted
Tail’s band. The pArty traveled all
night through a most romantic country;
tha scenery had a .sublime and rugged
grandeur,, and they passed over high
mountains and scaled the edgea of deep
precipices. When morning came they
mat the Sioux, killed a great number of
them, recovered their bones, took many
fine animals from tha Indiana and rifled
th* deserted camp of much rich booty.

and four feel deep. This box contained
Pauline, and in it tha Indians placed
various articles far tha young woman’s
use in her journey to the happy hunting
grounds. Among these articles ware
buffalo robes, various kinds of ftira and
skins, two saddles, and two dirks with
elegantly-ornamented handles. There
were also three bowe and a bunch of
arrows, mad* after tha fashion of the
Ob *>mne tribe, of which Spotted Tail

school history ha would hav* discovered
that more than half tha bast Generals

from the engineer corps. McClellan,

Halleck, Humphries, Waataal, Wright,

J. H. Wilson, Franklin aad many others
on th* Union aide, and Lea, Beauregard,
