Traciro a PrnicRite.—Some men are
boastful of their ancestry, while others
are entirely devoid of all pride of birth,
and have no more respect for the genea
logical table of their forefathers than th«y
have for Poor Richard's Almanac. The
late John Randolph, of Roanoke, used to
assert his belief that he was descended
from the celebrated Indian Princess, Poca
htmtas, but it is not known that he ever
established his claim to that distinction.
Many years ago there lived in a near
State a young gentleman who look it into
his head that, like John Randolph, he
was of Indian descent, though, unlike
John, he did not know exactly the tribe
to which his forefathers belonged. The
idea was n perfect tuonoumnm with him,
notwithstanding the efforts of his friends
In convince him nf the follv of his nre
tensions, lo say nothing of the absurdity
of them, even if they could be establish
ed. The favorite notion, however, could
not be eradicated from his mind, and he
promised his friends that be would one
day convince them that lie was right in
his claims.
Having heard that n deputation of In
dians were bi Washington, on u visit to
their great Father, the President, he
promptly repaired to that city, and ar
ranging with the gentleman who had them
in charge, his friends in the city were
surprised to receive nu invitation to ac
company him on a visit to the Red Men,
before whom ho proposed to verify his
pretensions. The party met as requested,
and found the Indians Bitting on the floor,
smoking their pipes, and manifesting but
little appreciation of the honor of the
visit.
Having arranged his friends at a re
spectful distance from the aged chief, who
still regarded the visitors with stolid in
difference, the young man stemmed boldly
from the center, and presumii^j that it
would require some show of energy tc
arouse the chiefs from their apparent
apathy, he placed his hand on his breast,
and said with great fearlessness:
*• Me—Indian—long time ago!"
The Chief, who was not skilled in talk
ing English, took his pipe from his mouth,
but evinced no emotion whatever. The
speaker then thinking that a more violent
gesture and a louder lone would tie neces
sary, struck Ins hand upon his breast with
much force, and said in a louder loue :
“Yes—me—Indian—long time ago!”
Without moving u muscle of his lace,
the old Chief slowly arose from his sitting
posture, untl turned his eagle eye on the
speaker. His friends say that the Chiel
•evidently understood, or at least appeared
to understand, the meaning of the speech
addressed to him, and they gazed intently
on the solemn proceeding. The young
man bore the searching glance of the In
dian without emotion. All felt that the
“ time had come.”
Moving sufficiently close to the speaker,
the Chief raised his hand, and carefully
taking a lock of the young man’s hair be
tween his finger and thumb, gently rub
bed it between them for a moment. All
stood breathless. Quietly withdrawing
his hand, the Chief uttered the slight pe
culiar Indian grunt, and said: “Nig.”
This altogether unexpected denouement
ended the interview, and the discomfited
descendant of the Tommyhawks retired
with his friends, the latter roaring with

Scouring Knives.—A small, clean
potato, with the end cut off", is a very con
venient method of applying brick dust to
knives, keeping it about the right mois
ture, and the juice of the potato assists in
removing stains from the surface. We
can get a better polish by this method
than by any other we have tried, and with
less labor.—[Nashville Patriot.
Gems of Thought. — Men, like books.have
at each end a blank leaf—childhood and old
age.
Peace is the evening star of the soul, as
virtue is its sun. and the two are never apart.
The gifts that circumstances make in our
character, we are apt to regard as its native
fruit.
He who dreads giving light to the people is
like a man who builds a house without win
dows, for fear of lightning.
-The stork, after spending its summer in
Europe, migrates in the fall to Africa or Asia.
A Polish gentleman having caught a stork
which lived upon his estate, put around its
neck an igon collar,with these words upon it:
*• This stork comes fr.om Poland,” and then set
it at liberty. The next year the stork came
back again with a gold collar. The gentleman
caught it again, and found on the collar, in
the Hindoo language, “ India sends back the
stork to the Poles, with gifts.”
-Brother Aminadab, a still Quaker, on
receiving from a "worthy man” a blow on the
face, turned the other cheek, to which a simi
lar salute was applied. “ Friend,” said Arai
nariab, “ scripture injunction being now satis
fied. 1 will proceed to administer to thee a
little wholesome correction.” and he therefore
mauled the assailant roost unmercifully.
-A young gentleman at the Isle of Wight
was addressing a young lady in the following
grandiloquent style : “ The most dignified, glo
rious ana lovely work of nature is woman ;
the next man, and the third our Hampshire
hogs,” when she suddenly interrupted him
with,“I have seen specimens of the two lat
tar blendid in one !”
-An editor in Maine has never been known
to drink any water. He says he never heard
water wns ii.-e l as a general remedy but once
—in the time of Noah—when it killed mote
than it cured.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson remarked, in a
recent lecture, that our trust in physicians was
not confidence in their tkil!,>it d*spair of our
oao.
