Tbe boat was floating down the river. Mountains of nwful grandeur arose on erery side ; nnd in the narrow valley between, in the midst of this solitude, flowed the waters of the Tennessee. The eyes of tbe children wero turned in awe to tbe huge masses of rock that lay piled up to the cry clouds; or, with a sense of relief, rested upon the pretty shadows of the sycamores that were trembling in the water, or upon tlie pale wild flowers that grew along the mountains side. Sometimes a scared water-fowl arose from the thick canebrake, and flew for miles down the stream in advance of the boat?a white winged pioneer in this wild and beautiful country?sometimes an eagle performed his immense cireles above the mountain tops, and seemed to hover, like a protecting geniu3, over the parly of emigrants. The boat kept constantly in the middle ofth6-slream, never nearing the margin even when passing those swift rapids and boiling whirlpools that give interest to this beautiful river. No gay flower nor curious jx;bble attracted them to the shore, but they looked into the thick under-orowth nauLtniin ly and vigilantly, though not timidly, for fear had no part in those brave natures that first penetrated the western wilds. A small cannon was mounted in front of the boat and various others warlike preparations might be observed, indicating their sense of danger. But peacefully the party floated down?the father, the mother, and a numerous family of children?until they, arrived opposite the village of Nick-a-jack. Here they perceived some Indian boats approaching, bearing white flags. Doubtful of them, however, in spite of the peace emblem, Mr. Brown, tj)c commander of the boat, turned his camion towaid them and warned tbera off. They came to a parley. Among the Indians was a white man, who deceiving, or deceive, assuror! ihp #>mof*fon?c o' ' b. ....... of the kind and peaceful intentions of the Mivnges. After a conference of some length, the Indians were permitted to board the boat. They come on in great numbers, and soon they grew insolent and boisterous. At a moment, when Mr. Brown's back was turned, an Indian give him a stroke across the neck partly servering his head from the body, aod causing his instant death. They then took posession of the boat, 'making the mother and two or three small children eominenca their march ihrmifrh fb? <vil. ? O" *MV derness towards the South ; and disposing ?f the other member of the family in various ways they took a boy about twelve, whose name was Joseph, to the house ofKiatcbattalu, and Indian brave, whose mother had married a white man and for this mother Joseph was destined as a slave. The taste for blood, however, infuriates roan and beast. The Indians were now Tavening for their prey, and the tender years of this poor boy could not protect him.? "Tbey rushed to the lodge where be was vesting and, with loud clamors, demanded him. Tbe white man of the tent begged that they would' spare him, aod assured 1beui that Kiatcbattalu would be very anirrv. It tlas of no Avail. Thflir fiarnn I ./ ? - i -*,v" I tares cried for blood. Then the woman Approached and pleaded. "Do not kill the boy in .my tent." Tbe eye of an earnest woman is not powerless, even on tbe heart of a savage.

Sbakspere has it, h took command in our house. Everythinj was subservient to him. The baby was th balance-wheel that regulated everything lie regulated the servants, he regulated mi For the first six months of that precious ex istenee, she woke me up on an average si: times a night. 'Mr Blifkins,' says my wife 'bring that light here, do, the baby look strangely ; I'mso afraid it'll Imvo a fit!'? Of course the lamp was brought, and o course the baby lay sucking his fist like .1 white bear, as he was. 'Mr. Blifkins,' sait my wife, 'I think I feel a draught of air; ] wish you would get up and see if tlio win IS nut ojicii m nine, oeeause t>al>y migiv get sick.1 Nothing was the matter witli the widow, as I knew very well. 'Mr. Blif kins,' said my wife, jnst as I wus going tc sleep again, 'that lamp, as you have ptacod it, shine directly in btby's ej'es?strangi that you have no more consideration.' ] arranged the liglit and went to bed again Ju*' as I was dropping to sleep again, 'Mr Blifkins.' said my wife, 'did you think t< buy that brouia to-day for the baby?' 'My dear,'said I, 'will you do me the injustia to believe for a moment that 1 could over look a matter 80 essential to tho comfort o that inestimable baby ?' She apologize* very handsomely, but made her anxiety the scape goat. 1 forgave her, and without say ing a word more to her, I addressed mysel Lo 6leep. 'Mr. lilifkins,' said my wife, sha king me,'you must not snore so ; you wil wake the bahv.' 'Just so?just so,'said I half asleep, thinking I was Solon Shingle.? 'Mr. Blifkins,' said my wife, 'will you ge up and hand me the warm gruel from tlx nurse lamp, for baby??lite dear child, i it wasn't for its mother, I don't know wha it wonld do ! How can you slc?-p so, Mi Blifkins?' *1 suspect, my dear, that it is be cause I am tired.' 'Oh it's very well fo you men to talk about being tired,' said m; wife ; I don't know what you'd say, if yoi had to toil and drudge like a poor womai with a baby.' I tried to soothe her, by tel ling her that she had no patience at all, am got up for the posnet. Having aided i answering the baby's requirements, I step ped into bed again, with the hope of sleep inrr. *\fr Tli;FL-;r,= ' e?;,1 t . -- 0- cnixi IMJ w llC. i UIHU no answer. 'Mr. Blifkins,' said that esti inablc woman, in great apparent angnisl 'how can a man, who has arrived at tin honor of having n live baby of his owr sleep, when he don't know that the dea creature will live till morning?' I reman: ed silent, and, after a while, deeming tha Mrs. Hlifkins had gone to sleep I slretclie' my limbs for repose. How long I slept, don't know ; but I was awakened by a ft rious job in the forehead by some sharp ir strument. I started up, and Mrs. Blilkiii was silling up in the bud, adjusting som portion of the baby's dress. She had, in state of semi-soinnolencc, mistaken ni head for the pillow, which she customaril, used for a pin cushion. I protested agaius such treatments, in rather warm languag* pointing to several performations in my fort hpflfl St.n I =I.~..I.I ...Mis 1- 1- - K/nv iimu Uiu 1 cuuuiu ? 11111J ^ I V Ul'H such trifling things for tlio baby. I insiste upon itthatl didn'ntthinkit my duty as parent to Hint young immortal required th surrender of my head for a pin cushion.This was one of the many nights passed i this way. The truth was, that baby wa what every other man's first baby is?a autocrat absolute and unlimited. Sue was the story of Blifkins, as he related the other day. It is a little-exaggerate picture of almost every man's experience. Origin of Words and Phrases Windfall.?The origin of this term said to be the following : Some of the nobility of England, bv th tenure of tbeir estates were forbidden sellin any of the trees upun tbeui, the timber b ing reserved for the use of the royal nay; Such trees as fell without cutting were tl property of the occupant. A tornado, ther fore, was a perfect god send, iu every sen: of the terra, to those who had the oecupanc of extensive forests ; and tho windfall wi sometimes of very great value. Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.?In tl time of Edward VI, much of tbo lands < St. Pt;ler, at Westminster, were seized I his majesty's ministers and courtiers; bi in order to reconcile the people to that rol l>ery, they allowed a portion of the lands t be appropriated towards the renairs of S Paul's Church ; hence I lie phrase "robbin Peter to pay Paul." Bankhupt.?Few words have so remarl able a history as the familiar word bnnkrup The money changers of Italy had, it is sai( benches or stalls in the bourse or exchnng in former times, and at theso they condue ed their ordinary business. When any < them fell back io the world, and becarn insolvent, his bencb, was broken, and tli name of broken bench banco rotto, vrt given to him. When the word was adop ed into English? it was nearer the Italia than it now is, beginning "bankeront," it stead" of bankrupt. His Betty Martin.?Many of our moi popular vulgarisms have their origin insom whimiscal perversion of language or of fac St. Martin is one o(*tbe worthiest of the Ri 1111>ii uaiuiidtH-, una ft lormot prnvercommei eea with these words, i%0 mihi beate Ma; tin," which was corrupted to "My eye an Betty Martin." Roland fob an Olivkk.?Although r more common phrase is hi us#1, yet few ai acquainted with its origin. The exprewic signifies the giving of an equivalent. R land and Oliver were two knights famoi in rotftance. The- wonderful tchievemen of thex>ne can only be equaled hy thosothe other. Hence the phjuise "Roland f aa Oliver."

Tlio ' e ' real Mason knows that the trno tlirono of ' n King Solomon was Divine Wisdom : i. "The sides of it were Dure gold, the feet * g of emerald and rubies, intermixed with ' .. pearls, each of which was as large as an os- ' e trich'segg. The throne had seven steps; on ,f I each side were delineated orchards full of ' J trees, the branches of which were of precious [ e i stonca, representing fruit, ripe and unripe; on e tlio top of the trees were to be seen figures of f pluiuaged birds, particularly the peacock, e the etaub and kurges. All these birds wore _ hollowed within artificially, so as to ocoa- J e sionally utter a thousand melodious sounds, ? such aR the ear of mortals never before heard. : On tho first step were delineated vine, i branches, having bunches of grapes, com- ( 0 posed of various colors?of purple, voilet, r green and red ?so as to render the appcart ance of real fruit. On tlio second step, on 1 each side of the throne, were two lions ol s terrible aspect, large as life, and formed 01 1 1 cast gold. , "The nature of this remarkable throne e was such, that when Solomon placed his i. I foot ou the first step, tiio birds spread forth ,f | their wings and made a fluttering noise in the | _ ! air. Oil his Inlti'liinf* tin* ??/ ??i>.I I I "o ? r? ,,,v j ~ ) lions expanded their claws. On liis reach- | j ing the third stop, the whole assemblage of ii j demons, and fairies, and men, repeated the " I praise of the Deity. When ho arrived at e the fourth step, voices were hoard address5-1 ing him in the following manner : "Sen of jf David, he thankful for tho blessings which n the Almighty has bestowed upon tlice!" ,s Tiiesame was repeated on his reaching the )t, fifth step. On his touching the sixth, all l(. the children of Israel joined them; and on ;S | his arrival at the seventh, and the throne, the birds and animals became in motion j. and ceased not until he had placed him g. sell on the royal sent, wlien the birds, lions, ,e and other animals, by secret springs, discharge a shower of most precious perfumes ;u on Solomon ; after which two of llio kury pes descend and place the golden crown j ' upon his head. is | "Before the throne was a column of burjf| nished gold, on the top of which was a |e ; g?lden dove, which held in its beak a volv ; ume bound in silver. In this book were ,r i wiitteu the Psalms of David, and the dove. jt \ having presented it to the King, he read ,j aloud a portion of it to the Children of ^ Israel. It is further related that on the |, approach of wicked persons to the throne, R tlie lions were wonttoset up a terrible roaris 'nS> an<J lo l<lsli their tails with voilence ; the birds also began to bristle up their tenthers, and the assembly of demons and genii . . to utter horrid cries; so, for fear of them, no ? j one dared to he guilty of falsehood, but all ,e confessed their crimes.

Upon a certain Sunday, ahont eight years ago, tliis clergyman was invited ,g j by tho pastor of a church to fill his pulpit ? : for the day. Tlio invitation was accepted, I and Sunday morning saw Mr. in the I . | pulpit. Now it happened that the pulpit ' i was a ver\r high one, and accord in civ near ly hid tlie poor little clergyman from view. However, the congregation out of respect, ' managed to keep their countenances, and with over pious face9, seemed religiously anxious for the text. They were not obliged to wait long, for a nose and two little eyes ^ suddenly appeared over the top of the puln pit, and a squeaking, tremulous voire, proj claimed in nansal tones the text : "Be of good cheer; it is I, bo not afraid !" A general roar of ^laughter followed the rmnouncement?the clergy/nan became con* fused, and turned all sorts of colors. Many in the general npronr left the church, and, it was a long time before the minister was enabled to proceed with the sermon so abruptly broken oft'. Afternoon came,and the little man, standee ; , , . nij; on n iuuimuui, uaa a lair view ot ins ' audience. The text was announced in due from : "A little while ye shall see me, and again a little while and ye shall not sec me." In tho course of his sermon he repeated ^ his text with earnestness, and stepping back lost his elevated footing and disappeared from all his hearers. Tho effect may he more readily imagined than described. j(j A Broken IIkart.?"Did ho strike of you?'' asked a judge in Cincinnati, of a wit. ot ness who had testified that her husband l(j abused her. tr "No, sir," replied the modest and delicate v looking worn an.
