THE NEW CHIPPEWA TREATY, among other stipulations, provides tha t " the superintendence of these Indians shall be intrusted to a Board composed of clergymen exclusively—all white, and married " ! Truly this is the last straw needed to break the camel's back.

And though t , word, aud deed, breathe a purpose and will,

In joyful accord with the workers above ;

That every soul-germ would quicken and grow, The buds into blossoms of beauty unfold,

And Chari ty, with her pure ga rmen t s of snow, In a rms of compassion all lovingly hold.

Most noble, unrepining souls, Ye live a blessing aud a b a l m ;

Your mar ty rdom forever holds My love, as by a deathless charm.

Through life's dark maze, with noiseless feet And tearful eyes ye take your way ;

Al though iu pain your g rea t hearts beat— Ye silent labor, s i lent pray.

Ye love, aud labor for love's sake— Pure chari ty your only creed—

And know how human hear ts do ache That realize the sad world 's need.

Alas 1 thou proud, misguided world. Thou hast denied thy Saviors all.

And at thy doom defiance hurled— The cup of bit terness of gall.

But that the love of God survives, 0 headstrong world, thy last and worst , j

I read in many mar ty r lives, Which thou hast ne i ther blest nor curst .

F rom hence draw hope and holy trust, Ye humble and unhonored few :

If God so Ioveth the unjust . How grea t mus t be his love for you !

I J i r g t v U s t gusfoanf l . BY R . H . N E W E L L .

As l ight unto the morn , So time to him unfolds her ;

As holds the l ight the day, So unto him he holds her .

A fairer than himself, By (5ne still b r ighter given,

A something less of earth— A something more of heaven.

He deems he r not a saint— In tyviug she is human—

And as he is a man, The dearer she as woman.

N o t down on her he looks, N o r up to an ideal,

But s t ra ight into her eyes, And all his love is real.

As bends the s turdy tree To Bhade a pool of water,

But standeth like a rock When wind and to r ren t s laughter ;

So bends he unto her When gentlest her controll ing,

So s tands he as a wall

When dangers round are rol l ing.

'Tie not by given r ight , Or privilege, he rules h e r ;

F o r 'tis his grace to yield, That iu obeying schools her ;

And if the less himself From troublous cause, or other.

In milder type he wears The spir i t of his mother.

As she may have a fault, So he may have a greater ,

And sorrow for his own, F o r both is exp ia tor ;

And if upon her sleeve She snares a passing folly,

He f r igh ts i t with a smile, And no t with melancholy.

He slaves her t ru th to him By no conf in ing portal ,

But in himself reflects I t s coun te rpar t immor ta l .

The freedom tha t he gives Is taken from the donor ;

A husband ' s faith may rest Upon a husband ' s honor .

And ever as a child, When childish she, he chides her,

And ever as a man, When she is s t rong, he guides her ;

Through sunshine and through shade, Through blessing and disaster,

In more than name, her fr iend, In less than law, her maBtur.

Contempla t ing her in th is l ight mv soul is thri l led wi th awe a t the fear-fu l g r a n d e u r of her mission. A s an a g e n t for t h e in t roduct ion upon ear th of the h .ghes type of o rganiza t ion below the supernal , she s t a n d s in the scale of being second only to Deity.

power will b less h u m a n i t y when the f reedom and intel l igence of the golden fu tu re shal l have d a w n e d upon the soul of woman . T h e n will be answered the p raye r of the t rue Re fo rmer in the fulf i l lment of a sp i ra t ion , the t r i umph of peace, and the re ign of Universa l Bro the rhood .

But if these poss ib i l i t ies lie in the p a t h w a y of h u m a n deve lopment , w h y do we n o t wit-ness the i r more immed ia t e rea l iza t ion ?

o f l l o p e l o r M a n k i n d . The first comments made in Boston on this work

were the spontaneous expressions of a prominent | lawyer, after having read the manuscript. He said, "Tha t is an original work—a most excellent work. It will be read by many, if not by all the world. Those are ideas that ought to be familiar to every mind ;" and he afterwards said to a friend, " That PRINCIPLE OF EQUIVALENTS is the greatest discovery ever made Ln the world. It makes men work for and with each other, instead of against each other. It shows a standard for prices, which has never before been done. The author has discovered the application of Justice to the every-day affairs of life. Avarice has never before been explained to my satisfaction. It has converted me, which no theorist ever did before. I should n®t wonder, if it falls into the right hands, if it would put an end to the war." For sale, whole-sale and retail, by A. J .

combined with other substances of still greater alter-ative power as to afford an effective antidote for dis-eases Sarsapaiilla is reputed to cure. Such a remedy |i3 surely wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found in the follow-ing complaints:->

Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints. Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples," Blotches, Tumors. Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af-fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Doloreux, Debility, Dyspepsia, and Indigestion, Ery-sipelas, Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity of the

Even where no particular disorder is fel people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later some-thing must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrow;

During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little,

| if any, Sarsaj arilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Si parilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for be-lieving it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseijses it is intended to cure.

This is a publication worthy the attention of all progressive minds. Its first great object is to teach people how to PRESERVE HEALTH. But many, from hereditary affections or other unavoidable caus-es, become sick : to such it teaches how to RECOVER LOST HEALTH without the use of Drugs, thus secur. ing the boon so desirable to all. without that expendit ture of vital force which always follows the use of poisonous drugs.

D E L I N E A T I O N S .

1. Yonr organiza-t ion is a very s t rong combination o f t be ac-t ive and superior tem-peraments , g iv ing you a decided tendency to-wards the mental and spiri tual life.

2. Your organiza-tion is also very com-pac t — tha t is, your size of brain and body are well-proportioned and regular . There is g rea t evenness of cha-racter corresponding to the order of the physical life.

3. As a usual th ing y o u enjoy good. So evenly do the life-cur ren ts flow, tha t you do no t seem to realize tha t you have any organiza-t ion. This indicates a good degree of heal th and usual cheerfulness of spirits.

4. I cannot discern any organic disease in your system. You belong to a stock of long-lived people, and your father was noted for his regular and orderly life. With or-dinary care your life will be prolonged to a g rea t age.

5. Your business qualifications are va-ried. You do no t know w h a t you can do, if you set your mind to it. As a me-chanic, you can con-s t ruc t readily and wi th accuracy. You have a tendency to-wards line labor—do no t l ike to handle heavy ,coa r se th ings ; will be inclined to di-rect the labor of oth-ers ra ther than to ex-ercise much yourself . Your genius and abil-i ty qual i fy you for a direction in some en-terprise where labor is required. You have a decided love of action, and can, there- ' fore, well superintend the labor of others. Besides, there is a k ind of diffidence in your na tu re to drive others to duty. You will control by exam-ple—will draiv o thers in to labor ra ther than command.

6. You also have a steady perseverance, t ba t g ives you uni-form success in what-ever you under take . You are also caut ious in action, though res-olute and fearless.

7. In a profession, you would succeed best as a teacher. I th ink you well qual-ified to teach. You would please all, and you have an aptness to impar t knowledge.

1. I certainly pos-sess an active temper-ament, and have a s t rong tendency to-wards the mental and spiri tual life.

2. So far a3 I can judge, my organiza-tion is c o m p a c t ; size of brain and body are pret ty well propor-tioned and regular F o r the last seven years, a t least, there lias been much even-ness of character . 3. With the exception

of a few temporary ills, my health for the last ten years has been remarkably good, and previous to that ,gener-ally good. I am ever cheerful, yet not mirthful , bu t relish t rue wit.

4. I imagine I am exempt f rom all dis-ease, and my parents lived to the age of sixty odd years, bu t m y g randparen t s all lived to a r ipe old age. Yes, my father was noted for a regu la r and an orderly life, and, besides, he was very punctua l iu monetary obligations.

5. My business qual-ifications, I t ruly be-lieve, are varied, for I have engaged in a g rea t variety of pur-suits with nearly equal success. A re-cital of all the various pursui t s by me en-gaged iu, to enumer-ate, would fill several pages, but, unfor tu-nately, none as yet have proved very lu-crat ive. I have often though t I should have become a fine me-chanic had I served an apprenticeship, as I have ever had an aptness with tools and a fondness for me chanics, and I enjoy the s igh t of machine-

the grea t book you are at all t imes study-ing. Observation is one of your largest powers.

0. Your social facul-ties are very large, aud you are of a very affectionate disposi-tion. You have, or expect to have, a plea-sant homo, where your affectionate na-ture can live in its true order and har-mony. Yon are ever t ry ing to make your-self at t ract ive and pleasant to others. Your phi lanthropy is also very full, and you enjoy most where do-ing something for the good of others

10. Your love of or-der, beauty, and mu sic, is large and well cult ivated — tha t is, music migh t be. if i t has not been. Your taste for music is very fine.

11. Your spiritual sent iments are of a liberal and univer-sal character . You reverence all t ru th , and will ever seek to be guided by the l ight of experience. As to the fu ture , you look with calm composure, t rus t ing to the Power that orders all things.

12. You bave a good control over your ap-petites, and will do no th ing which you consider wrong, eith-er to yourself or to others.

8. My mental facul-ties, I think, arc decidedly active in searching for t ru th . 1 am not satisfied to let any subject re-qui r ing investigation pass, as nine tenths of mj'fellow-rnen around me seem to be. Had I been, I should never have troubled you for this chart . Na ture is a pleasing field for ex-cursion. I have often ascended the summit peaks of the Sierra Nevadas for the enjoy ment of a g rand view and an hour 's contem-plation. Hut Nature, as revealed in the hu-man system, i ts men-tal and physiological organizations, are most interest ing to me.

!). My sociability is confined chiefly to the home-circle and select friends. I believe, however, I have in-herited f rom a be-nevolent mother a fa-vorable share of kind-heartedness and a cha-ri table feeling towards all. I have a beauti-ful home, which af-fords me grea t enjoy-ment in beautifying, b u t I am not in pos-session of those en-dearments constitu-t ing a happy home, and which would af-ford me the greates t amoun t of social en-joyment . I t does gra t i fy me more to ex-tend a favor than to receive one.

10. I have great fondnessfor music.and had oppor tuni ty fa-vored, would have made a good musi-cian I now perform upon several instru-ments of music .

11. My spiri tual sen-t iments are decidedly of a liberal character . I am a searcher or seeker of t ruth, and I enter ta in the highest opinion for the inau I can rely upon. I have no part ial i ty for any of the common fai ths of rel igion. I belong to none—believe not in the genuineness of any, and yet do not unnecessari ly oppose any.

12. I claim to have the mastery over my appet i tes and pas-sions—never become a n g r y — use no im-1 p roper language , no ! in toxica t ing drinks, j no tobacco or drugs, I and am very select j and p ruden t in my diet .
