BEL AIR, MD. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1879.

the Fern ns umpire, whose decision wouldI be respected by all. These propositions

were gladly accepted by Lone Wolf, as thetrial proposed would afford him an oppor-tunity of displaying li is acknowledgedskill, and also of enjoying the society o(the Fern. On the following day, before thefrosts had been melted by the rising sun,the Contestants met at lhe’pl..i;e designated,

r The contest continued until the shadowsa fell upon the roots of the trees, when Lonec Wolf was declared tiie victor. The crownof laurel was placed on his brow by theumpire, accompanied by a few words com-plimentary to the skill of the victor, andseemingly expressive of personal interest.The Bird was excited to madness by theseeming preference of the Fern for LoneWolf, and remembering the insult,suddenlygrasped his rival and rushing with thespeed of lightning to the edge of the preci-pice, threw him headlong into the abyssbelow. As he Was falling a few plaintivenotes of tiie death-song were beard, and thevoice of Lone Wolf was hushed forever.

Tbe Bird made no effort to escape. Sub-missive to the immemorial custom and im-perative law of his race, lie sternly awaitedthe coming of the avenger, and would cer-tainly have been slain, hut for tiie interpo-sition of the Fern. Drawing from tiiepocket of a belt which she wore the trinketof two jewels that had not been damagedseriously, she offered them to the sister ofLone Wolf, his only surviving relative, asan atonement for the blood of her brother.I’he offering was accepted by her, as alsoby her tribe. That trinket of two jewelswas the Ar and Thar, erroneously supposedio have been lost by the ancestors of thepresent race of Indians in their migrationlo tliis continent from the East. It hadbeen preserved in tiie family of Bald Eagle,md highly valued, ns its possession gaveprosperity, and conferred princely authori-ty and rule That the Fern should haveparted with snob a treasure is understood inthe light of the fact that she had cherishedan attachment for the Bird, and secretlyhoped to become his wife.

Three moons subsequently, at the feastof the coining spring, always observedwhen the first birds made their appearance,(here was another gathering of the tribesat the Rocks, to witness the celebration oftiie nuptials of tlie Bird-that-Flies-Highand of tlie Fern Sliuken by-the-Wind.—Following immediately this ceremony wathe consummation of a design that BaldEagle had Img entertained. Aged andwearied with the responsibilities and laborspertaining to his position as chief ruler of* lie confederate tribes, he abdicted hisauthority, and nominated his son as hissuccessor. His choice was ratified by allthe tiibes. Conducted by the aged priestofthe upper tribe to the seats on the Rocks,Tho-Bird-tlmt Flies-High and the Pern-Shaken-hy-the-Wind, were formally de-clared King and Queen of the confederatetribes.

They were the last King and Queen ofthe Rocks ol Deer Creek. Ere many moonswaxed and waned the pale faces came.—Driven trora their homes and from theuraves of their forefathers the confederatetribes fled to the land of the setting sun.finding their last hours and their gravesamong strangers in the distant wilderness.

Lone Wolf, whose romantic history andtragic death have been related, was buriedon the banks of Deck Creek, about sixhundred yards above the present residenceof Joshua Rutledge,Esq ; and often duringthe autumnal nights, in the faint light ofthe waning moon, is seen at that locality astrange apparition. It is thought to be thespirit of the murdered chieftain, minglingwith the shadows that fall on the ripplingwaters. * * *

Recipe of Prosperity.1. Let every youth be taught some use-

ful art am! lie trained to industry andthrift.

2. Let every young man lay aside andkeep sacredly intact a certain proportionof his earnings.

8. Let every youth set out in life with afixed determination to engage in businessfor himself, and let him put li is deterrainution into practice as early in life as possi-ble.

4. Begin in a small, safe way, and ex-tend your business ns experience shallteach you is advantageous.

5. Keep your own hooks and know con-stantly what you are earning and justwhere you stand.

6. Do not marry until in receipt of atolerably certain income—sufficient to liveon comfortably.

7. Never get into debt. A man whoowes nothing can never fail.

8. Let every man who is able to buy aform upon which to bring up bis sons, doso. It is on the farm that the best men,morally and intellectually, are turnedout.

9. Bear in mind that your business can-not be permanently prosperous unless youshare its advantages equally with your cus-tomers- An all turkey, all-buzzard systemof business can never succeed in the longrun. Botli parties to a transaction mustlie mutually benefited if the trade is tokeep up.

10. Experience has shown that a scrimp-ing policy with employees is not the mostprofitable for the employer. Live and letlive is the better theory.

11. Never get your business so much ex-tended that you are driven to take in apartner. Ifyou engage in a partnership atall. let it not ho forced upon you.

12. Ifyou find yourself incompetent tomanage a business successfully, settle downcontentedly to work for wages, do yourbest for you employer, make his interestyour interest, and shape your expendituresso as live within your income. Every oneis not qualified by nature to manage suc-cessfully, but ns much real happiness isenjoyed in a salaried position as any other,i( the individual be only frugal and con-tent.

18. Don’t seek a political office.14. Aim to lie just and fair in all your

dealings, and cultivate a good reputationfor paying promptly.

If these rules were generally observed,wo should hear but little complaint ofhardtimes.

For poor was the garb, and the featuresplain ;

Were worn with trouble and sorrow andpain;

There were streaks of gray in the smoothbrown hair,

And tin* forehead was farrowed with yearsof care.

There was no splendor of jewels nor guise,No Hash ot pride in the sad blue eyes,There was mre than these—was it God’s

The Lfts( King: ftiul Queen of (lie Rocks of

Deer ('reek.

On the ri(>ht hunk n( Deer Creek, nearlyopposite the present residence of E. S.Rogers, Esq., was, two centuries ago, avillage of the Susquehannock Indiana.—Five miles above on the same stream, fiftyyards below where the mill of James Stans-bury. Esq., is located was another villageof the same Indians. Two and one-halfmiles southeast of the Rocks, on the landnow in the occupancy of Bennett Grafton,Esq., was a third village. Each of thesevillages had its own ciiief, hut for mutualprotection and aid were confederate, ac-knowledging the supremacy of the chiefwhose location was in the vicinity of theRocks. This chief bore the not uncom-mon Indian name of Bald Eagle. Thechief of the upper village was Great Bear;of the lower Lone Wolf.

In the autumn of the year Lone Wolf,accompanied by several of his braves, vis-ited the Iroquois, then living in the northeastern part of what, is now the State ofNew York. While there he became ena-moured with an Ojibway maiden, who hadbeen captured by the Iroquois in her infan-cy; and adopted by their chief, was broughtup in his wigwam as his own daughterThe stay of the visitors was protracted un-til the snow began to whiten the eartn andthe ice to cover tiie waters; and Lone Wolfwould fain have tarried until the snow andice were melted again. In the charms oftiie “Fern-Shaken by-thc-Wind,” as shehad been named by her captors, lie hadfound an attraction stronger than that hefelt for ins own people in tiie South country.But failing in li is efforts to win the affec-tions of tiie Pern, he resorted to diplo-macy, hoping that time, with assiduity ofattention, would soften the maiden’s heart,and she would ultimately became his wife.The time of his departure having come, hebesought the Iroquois chief to allow hisadopted daughter and her brother to ac-company him to his distant home, promis-ing to return them safely, and laden withvaluable presents, when the trees put forththeir leaves again. This request wasgranted.

The Fern and her brother accompaniedLone Wolf to his home. Two moons aftertheir arrival the braves of the three con-federate villages were summoned to attenda great council, to be held at the Rocks.—At the time appointed Bald Eagle and hiswife, ns was theirenstom on such occasions,took their places in the seats on tile Rocksknown as the King and Queen seats, tiiebraves pi the tribe and their confederatessitting unon the ground beneath nr leaningagainst the interspersed trees. At a shortdistance beyond the circle of the assembledwarriors sat the women and children of thetribes and their Iroquois visitors. Tin-Fern. and her brother listened attentive-Iv lo the speeches of the different orators.N rw*re they unobserved, the maiden parOcularly. She could not fail to attract at-tention for to perfection of fom and greatsymmetry of features was added a dignitvof manner rarely equalled. Aun-ng thebraves most attracted try the charms of theFern was “The-Bird tlmt-Flies High,”eldest son of Bald Eagle, and prospectiveheir to the supreme chieftainship, nr kingship, as it was sometimes designated. Thisyoung brave, taking advantage of a shortrecess had bv tiie council, approached theFern, and offered her a present a trinket ofexceeding brilliancy and apparently ofgreat value, which she graciously accepted.This was observed by Lone Wolf, who under the influence of an unconcealed jeal-ousy, rushed to the spot where the maidenand her admirer were standing, and seizingthe trinket, violently wrenched it from herhands, and throwing it upon the groundtrampled it under his feet. Ordinarily suchan act would have been promptly resented,but the Bird hud too much regard for thedignity of the occasion, and 100 much re-spect for the character and authority ofhis father, the confederate chief, to noticeit by immediate and violent resentment.—He quietly withdrew from the presence ofthe maiden, entertaining, however, tiie pur-pose to avenge the insult when tiie fittingopportunity arrived! That opportunitywas not long delayed.

Ten days after the close of tiie council,there was a gathering of tiie tribes at tiielower village, to participate in the ceremon-ial connected with the rite of purification,a rite imperative in the case of every maleinfant of tiie tribe at its eighth day. Froma grove of stately oaks, ono of which maybe seen, at this present time, one hundredyards east of the spot on which now standsthe house of Mr. Grafton, a procession mov-ed toward Deer Creek, in tiie waters ofwhich the child was immersed by tiie ven-erable priest of the lower village. The riteperformed, the precession returned in theorder in which it came. The remainingportion of the day was spent in feastingnnd dancing, in which the Bird participa-

. ted with seeming enjoyment, nnd forgetfulapparently of ins purpose to revenge theinsult perpetrated by Lone Wolf. True,

! however, to the instincts of his race, thatpurpose was still cherished, and only await-ed the opportunity of its accomplishment.When shout to leave for ills village, hechallenged Lone Wolf to a trial of skill

Tmt Time for Sleep.— Sleep obtainedtwo hours before midnight, when the nogative forces are in operation, is the restwhich most recuperates the system, givingbrightness to the eye and a glow to tin-cheek. The difference in the appearance of

l a person who sits up until twelve, is quiteremarkable. The tone of the system, so

1 evident in the complexion, the clearness of1 and sparkle of the eye, and softness of the

• lines of features, is in a person of healthf kept at a “concert pilch” by taking regular

• rest hours before twelve o’clock, therebyobtaining the "beauty sleep” of the night.There is a heaviness of the eye, a sallow-

t ness of the skin, and absence of that glowl in the face which renders it fresh in expres-t sion and round in appearance, that readilyI. distinguishes the person who keeps late1 horns.

Weaning Colts.Halter the colt in a stall adjoining the

dam, with the partition so open that theyarc in plain view of each other. Reducethe food of the mare to a very small rationofdry oats and hay. When her udder be-comes so full as to cause her uneasiness,draw offa part of the milk, but be carefulnot to milk her clean. This first milkingmay be done by the colt itself, but after-ward it should be done by hand, as themilk in the drying-off process soon be-comes unfit for the colt, and, besides, thedrying off will thus be more speedily ac-complished than when the colt is permittedto suck occasionally. After the milk hasentirely dried up, the mare and her foalmay bo separated, and she may safely beturned out to grass.

In the meantime great care must betaken with the food oi the colt. Ifit hasbeen properly treated it has already learn-ed to eat heartily, and the food should booi such a character as to supply the placeof the milk of the dam. If the foal isyoung, or in thin flesh, it may be easilytaught to drink cow’s milk, and nothingcan be found that will so completely sup-ply the place of the milk from its owndam, of which it is now deprived. Indeedit will be well in all cases where, fromlack ofquantity or quality in the, milk oftlifl clam, or from lack of good pasture, thefoal is in low flesh, to early supply the de-liciency with a good allowance of cow’smilk, in addition to what it gets from thedam. New milk should be used at first,until the foal is accustomed to drinking it,but very soon skimmed milk, which willanswer very nearly as well, may bo substi-tuted. The effect which such a rationwill have upon the growth and conditionof the foal is wonderful. A quart of milkmorning and evening will be quite suffi-cient, and if it bo sweetened a little at firstthe colt will take to it all the more readi-ly, as the milk of the dam is much sweeterthan cow’s milk.

Oats, ground or unground, constitute thevery best grain food for a colt. Wo pre-fer to have them ground, and. as coldweather approaches, about one fourth inweight of corn-meal may profitably be ad-ded, as it helps to lay on fat and keep upthe animal heat. A little oil meal, sav apint a day, may also be profitably givenwith the oats for some time after weaningDon’t be afraid of feeding too liberallyMore colts are injured the first six monthsalter weaning by too scanty a supply offood, than from any other cause.

As soon as the mare and foul can boseparated, the foal should have, {(’possiblethe run of a good pasture,—as there is nofood be ter than grass, no medicine so goodus exercise, and no exercise so profitable toy.umg animals as when taken just whenthey feel like it. A good warm sheltershould be always accessible, so that theymay be protected from storms. The ideathat “roughing it” the first winter makes acolt more "hardy," is all nonsense. Thetrue theory is plenty of food, abundant ex-ercise. and protection from storms and ex-treme cold, in well ventilated, well lightedstables.— National Live Block Journal

Farm Notes.—A farmer in Sheldon, Vt,, bought a

dairy farm stocked with sixty cows, and intwo years reduced the number to thirty fiveand made as much butter as was formerlymade from the sixty; thus he greatly di-minished the cost ol keeping and yet keptup the amount of production.

—Bone meal and crushed shells may beused generously in feeding fowls. That is,it the crushed shells and granulated shellsare mixed and placed in a box inside thehen house, where the birds can have accessto these articles freely they will eat ofthemno more than they need. If these aremixed with the food given, cither withthe dry grain or in the soft mash, much ofboth is wasted, to say nothing of the addi-tional trouble caused in preparing it thusFowls devour no more of the oyster shellparticles than they naturally require to as-sist digestion and to help form the shellsof eggs. Of pounded bones they will eatno more; but if both are left where theycan always get them handy, they will notcat too much of either for their good.

Good orchardists no longer practicethe cutting of large limbs, but only ofsmall ones, except some extraordinary rcason—as decay, too much in the way ofwork, etc.—necessitates such cutting.—Where large, live branches are removed, itis best to cut smooth after sawing, with anedge fool, and cover with wax or paint toprevent decay and facilitate healing. Alldead, interfering and scraggy branchesshould be removed; also the numeroussuckers on the large limbs, the cutting tobe done with an edge tool to hasten theformation of bark over the wound. Youn>'trees need only to be pruned by pinchin-'ofi of buds to train the young things intothe shape they should grow.

When to Faint Houses.Faint applied to the exterior of build-

ings in autumn or winter will endure twiteas long as when applied in early summeror hot weather. In the former if driesslowly, and becomes hard, like a glazedsurface, not easily affected afterward bythe hot weather, or worn off by the beat-ing of storms.

But in very hot weather, the oil in thepaint soaks into the wood at once, leav-ing the lead dry and ready to crumble off.This last difficulty, however, might in ameasure be guarded against, though at anincreased expense, by first going over thesurface with raw oil.

Furthermore, by painting incold weath-er the annoyance of small flics, which in-variably collect during the warm season onfresh paint is avoided.

As an offset to this, there is a trouble ofslow-drying paint—it is that the dust,which always will collect upon exposedsurfaces, will keep collecting as long as thepaint is not dry, and stick to it, so that toobtain a smooth suifuce, free from adher-ing dust, it, is necessary to secure quickdrying.

Tins is especially the case when varnish-ing. We have often been disappointed,and no doubt so have many others, thatthe varnish used to dry so slowly that thedust had time to settle on it before it be-came hard.

To Remove I.nk From Caupet.— Whenfreshly spilled, ink can be removed fromcarpets by wetting in milk. Take cotton-batting and soak up all the ink that itwill receive, being careful not to let itspread. Then fake fresh cotton wet inmilk, and sop it up carefully. Repeat thisoperation, changing cotton and milk eachtime. After most of the ink has beentaken up in this way, with fresh cottonand clean, rub the spot. Continue until alldisappears; then wash the clean,warm water and a 1ittVtlaclear water, ''
