"May I not Laugh 7"
Mny I not laugh, now while iny heart
Is foil of all life's joy f
Why shoold I seek for shadows dark
Its sunshine to destroy ?
Ifay ! tell me not in accents sad
My laugh ninst turn to tears 1
I' trust it not?my spirits glad
Have roum for no auch fears.
l*..k t - :? -t.-ii T _ .
jl>ui, no ii. ou, pnai i i restrain
The gladness of to-dny,
Through fear of sonieiiine feeling pain.
And thus throw life sway f
What is our life if not a time
T' improve the gifts of God f
Are we to daily mourn and pin*
And make His gifts His rod !
I lore to laugh I it makes me glad ;
I lore to laugh and eing ;
There's time eoough for being sad
When time his cares shall bring.
But this is not the time to weep,
When all the world so fair
MakcB youth's gay (spirits widely leap
With hopes of promise rare.
Ay, let me laugh 1 my spirit free
Mnst some pure outlet find ;
Unless I laugh my soul will be

BY MRS. JANE T. II. CROSS.
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

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

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. Tb?y said, "We will not kill
brai here ; we will take him outside of the*
lent." Again the woman's voico was raismA

was silling up in the bud, adjusting som

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

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

name of broken bench banco rotto, vrt
given to him. When the word was adop

than it now is, beginning "bankeront," it

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

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

the birds and animals became in motion
j. and ceased not until he had placed him

; 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

R tlie lions were wonttoset up a terrible roaris

the birds also began to bristle up their tenthers,

A Snoirr Ci.kk(ivman*.? A few miles bc|j
low Poughkeepsio, N. Y., there now lives
lfi ami has lived 1'orseveral years past,a worthy
u. clergyman, a man, however, very short in
3. stature. 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.
