Ott labor is the bonettest thing la the

Proud of you, indeed, say child', ao

Aad thus it happened that aaaoag ta*

berry paid more devoted atteuti,
than eres hi? father bad aaked a>
expected.
Of course it was agraad success? i
excepting the cold hauteur on Mrs. Ma
barry'8 aristocratic face and llur.t wat
failure, because no one took the lea
notice of it, so mu.li more powerf
were the influences of Mr. Mayberry
and Ernest's courteous, genlle man
attentions.
'I only hope you are ?atiaiied. ' Mn
Jnsiah ?aid with what wo* meant ta I
withering san .ism, after the las' ?rue
had ??one and she stood a moment b
fore the fire ; 'I only hope you are sa

Earnest paid lo that young woman?Bi
ry unnecessary attention iudeed ?'
Mr. Mayberry rubbed his handa ft
getber briakly.
-Satiafled? Yea, thaokful to God
had it 10 my power to make them fo

but her husband cut it thort.
'So you weie?pretty little thing i

cute the boy for admiring her.'
'The boy ! You seem to hart forgo
tea your sos is twenty-three?o!
OBough to fall in love with and man

quixotic enough to iavlti to yoi

wan ta to marry a beggar asd the it
good virtuous girl, why not ?'
A little gasp of horror aad dTims
wat the only aus wer of which Mn Ma]
berry wat capable?
'Grandpa !'

Wilmington only jutt heard it, aa
I when he looked up be taw the girl'

'And you are sure it isn't his mouty

She did not take urr kratze at the iharj

'I am at least sure it isn't my niouev
he is after, grandpa,' she returnee
laughing and patting his cheek?
'Yes, you are at least sure of that
I there, I heat the young maa comin?

It was the 'youngmaa himself,' Era
eat Mayberry, with a shadow of dee;
' trouble oa his fact ai hi ?tame up te
Winnie and took her baud, then turnin|
to the old gentleman.
- 'Until an hour ago I tho't tail wool?
be the proudest, soppiest hour of ay

must be content to tell you how dearly

I will work for htr to giro htr the horn

Hit handion.? fact wat pale, but hit
oytt were bright with s determination
and braveatti cothisg could daust.
Winnie tmiled opon him, htr own

'Never mind, Erseit, oa my account;
I can wait, too.'
Old Mr. Wilmiugtoa'i eyti wert al?
most shut beneath the hoary, frowning

'Gont up, eh ! Well, that't too bad

And off he strode, leaving the lover*

and the daughter of the most powei
chief on the plains, was not a suitn
wife for the young soldier. Day ai

Spotted Tail, hearing of the strati
conduct of his da-ghter,and deeply m

charge of some kind friends, bid tin
carry her into the Rocky Mountaii

Spotted Tail bid his attendants prepari
the body for burial, and bear it as rap
idly as possible on their shoulders t<
the fort. Rev. A. Wright, then Post
Chaplain at Fort Laramie' describes the
funeral as follows in a letter to the wri
ter of this sketch :
THE CHAPLAIN'S STORY.
It is now over 10 years since the
death of Monica, as she was called, and
many of the interesting facts connec?
ted with her sad story are forgotten. I
was then chaplain at Fort Laramie, and
one day in February a messenger
arrived and announced that Spotted
Tail, with a band numberiug 300, was
ob the other aide of the North Platte
river, with the body of his daughter,
which he had brought from the Powder
river country, 15 days travel, aud desir?
ed to bury on the hill near the fort.?
Gen. Maynadier, then in command,
went with his officers to the river bauk
and met the funeral cortege. The
warriort advaticcd in rci;ular procesi?n
bearing in their midst the body of .he
Princ?ts, and chanting a funeral dir^rc,
which wat low and mournful iu the
extreme. We joined the procession
and marched to the fort to what is
known as "Bedlam Quarters," where
the body was laid in state. The room
had bean hastily decorated with flags,
mutkett. and sabres. All the principal
men of the place were present, and the
crowd of Indians and soldiers not oniy
filled the spec? inside but the porch
and grounds outside. General May*
nadier made a sncech of condolence,aud
welcomed Spotted Tail to the post.
The chief replied in Sioux, and his
speech was very beautiful even as im?
perfectly interpreted in our language by
Charles Gareau. I remember it nffected
every one present. Among other
things Spotted Tail said. "I am sad,
but when I look around at this beauti?
fully decorated room and sec many
k iid aad sympathetic white faces I feel
comforted. It seems to me like a
dream, but I have only to look out of
thai window and see the sun shining and
hear the winds blowing, aud I know it
must be a reality." He then stated
t.iat though he hsd been on the war?
path against th? whites; he desired new
to be at peace witlt them forever,
gave the history of his daughter's de
and .--?aid her last request was to
ijuried in sight of her best friends,
pale faces. During the red tal of
daughter's suffering* and the event
journey of lifleeu days with her lx
through ?now and storms, tlid* old ch
wa9 very much affected, and all ey
were moist. At the close of Spot
Tail's remarks General M aynad
arose and made one of thejmost .?Tppr
ate addresses I ever heard. II? assui
the chief of our deep sympathy^/elco
cd him to our fires, and proffei ed
services. 1 he chief and his w arri?
were visibly affected, and wh? n f
General proposed to bury Monica in i
post cemetery and have the Christi
burial services performed over I
corpse, the chief was very much gratifl
and his followers expressed their a
probation by frequent and deep guttei
expressions of'"Ugh," Ugh."
The body of the girl was wrapped
Ituffalo robes, and bound about wi
cords. Gen. Maynadier ordered t
carpenters to prepare a scaflold ai
coffin, and when all was in readiness i
ambulance was sent for, and just h
fore sunset, en a clear and bright b
bitter cold day, the body of Monica w
brought out. aud Indians, officers at
soldiers, forming a procession march
to the grave. At the scaffold tl
coffin was opened, and the officers Olli
it with gauntlets, gloves, moccasin
red flannel, and clothes to keep tl
dead maid?>n comfortable on her jou
ney to the ?spirit I*.nd. I improvised
burial service, accommodating my r
marks to the Indian superstition.
said Monica would look dowu and tal
care of her father, mother, and friend
and that they would soon meet hi
i where there was plenty of-"ame and n
I more dying, stiow-storm. or tears. Tl
? mothe. ol the girl sloou by my tide ac
I wept bitterly, while the father chief oft?
[ wiped hit eyes, and at the close of eac
! sentence I uttered, the dusky crow
i gave aloud "Ugh.'' The coffin whiel
? had been neatly covered with red dot
i by Col. Bullock, the post trader, wi
rinsed upon the scaflold and place
with Uie head toward the east. Tli
I two white piales of the deceased gi
j had been killed as soon as she died, an
! their heads and lulls, which had bee
; brought with her, whore now nailed t
, the post of the scaffold aud a barrel <
j water placed under each pony's beac
! The ponies were to convoy her to th
; happy hunting ground?, and the wat?
? was for them to drink on the way.
The grave of Monica is among the fir*
j objects of interests that strikes the ey
j of traveler as he approachet Fa
| Laramine on the Cheyeunc road. Th
? love affair of this beautiful Indian gir
happened before I was stationed at th
j fort, but I often heard the story fron
j Gen. Mayaudier, Col. Bullock an
! other*. Spotted Tail, when I knei
, htm. had three wive?, the mother c
his unfortunate daughter Monica beinj
\ the first aud favorite. She was a smal
woman, aud of rather delicate fram?.
Spotted Tail, as you kuow, is tall, well
. formed, and a natural orator. He is, .
, thiuk. the only really good speaker
have ever known iu the Sioux tribe.
A. Wright,
Chaplain United States Army.
After her death Spotted Tail often
spoke of his daughter Monica, and stil
j fondly cherished her memory. In tin
i aflectionate council at Larame in 1866
i he said, with great softness in his voie?.
? "Were not the hopelessness of resis.
i tance and the dictates of policy sufflcienf
i to deter me from committing acts o!
war, the pledge I made my child in he:
! dying hour would cause me to keep at
! peace with your people ?"
A story is told of two New England

old enemy, and .solemnly said ; Broth?

When Mr. Hill was, some years ago,
iu Scotland, he was introduced to an
aged minister somewhat resembling
himself in piety and eccentricity. The
old man looked at him for some time
very earnestly, and at length said :

'Why. 1 am thinking that if the grace o

said: 'Well, you hit the nail on tin

Hugh Arnat, who opculv avowed in?

Sabbath afternoon, when he met the eel?

that a man of your sense,' said the in?
fidel, 'would preach to a parcel of old
wives: what wat your test?' 'The
text,' replied Dr. Erskiene, 'was in the
