SCATTERING THE SEEDS.
'l‘hn following, taken from the last
number of “Hound’s Cahlnt-t,” is wull
worthy 0fC()l|§illIl'nti()ll. Especially
would we command it to the perusal
of those who appear to take so little
thought in this respect:
With the printing profit; thus every
where, with papers and hooks in the
hands of every one—with the gamin
laughing over an " lllnstreted,” and
the old man pondering over sonw
“ Thunderor,“ the importance of
sowing oply pure sued can he appre
ciated. But the avarice of a portion
of mankind (shame upon them!) is
shown by the pernicious literature
suattered through the country—the
“blood and tlmnder“ stories; the
more improlmhle the better relished.
'l‘here cannot he too much care in
the sorting of the seed before it is
given to tha- puhlic. And this sort
ins: and sewing is in thehands ol' the
pditorand printer. He should reflect
deeply upon whet his duty is, and
act accordingly. The few dollars he;
may make hy pnndering to low-horn
and vitiated tastes—by publishing
“ matter" he would not, have the
eves of his own daughters to rest
npon—will prove in the end a blight-
Illg (“In“). l
To you is given the scattering of
tho seed. lii-ware it is not filled
with impuritiee. Once lmving left
your hand—once having been given
to the winds of heaven—lll your
powerorer it is lost. You cannot
tell into what soil it may find lodg-
Inent and sprout and blossom and
hear fruit. But youcnn tell whati
the lruit should he. The harvest;
will not be false to the sowing.
\Vceqls will not spring up on every
side if the seed is pure. The vine
will not he false to the sowing.
Weeds will not spring up on every
licle if the seed is pure. The vine
will not be false to the root—the
peach or orenge to the hnd. VVin
now the seed well-winnow from it
11l thatie vile and false—that will
cense the checks oflieauty to flame
and the heart of the good to grow
faint and sad—that will open the
eyes of innocence to the guilt of the
world. 7
Printer and oditor, ye are the scut
ters of all the mental seed upon which
the world is fed, you slone are respon
sible for it. Sordid gain and do
bssed tlsto may stand by your side
Ind plead for the sowing of tares.
Have none of it. Avsrice may tug
st your heart-stringsueven hollow
eyed Vth In" tempt you to step
lside from the path of duty. To all
such temptations turn a deaf ear.
How not your manhood at such un
holy shrines. Fetter not your souls
with the [otters of immorality.
Listen not to the syren song of gold
in such a cause. Suffer wont rsther
then disgrscs. Sostterers of seed,
see to it that it is pure, as you value
your own happiness, and pesco, snd
prosperity.
There isa new seotin Russie called
the “ Purifiers,” belong to the Greek
Church. Their lending doctrines
ere that all must marry on coming‘ of
age, end the husband mus: be eubcr
dinste to wife end recognize her es
the heed of the femily, snd thet once
a week he must confess his sins to
his wife. Woman‘s rights there, if
you pleese.

AN INDIAN THANKSGIVING PROC-
IuIIIA'I'IoN.
By the kindness of Governor Fer
ry, we have received a copy of the
thanksgiving proclamation ofCharles
'l‘honipson, l’rincipal Chief of the
Cherokee nation, which was sent to
Governor Ferry from the Executive
oflice of Tallequah, Indian Territory.
We commend it to our readers as an
evidence of a degree of civilization:
among the natives, which many per-;
sons would scarcely credit. It is the
more interesting from not havingi
emanated from the Indian office at
Washington, or from any Indian
Agent, but from a full blood native,
who holds an oiiice in his nation, an
alogous to that of the Governor ofa
Territory. The fact, however,should
be borne in mind, that for many
years,the Cherokea’s Choctaws, and
Creeks, have been further advanced
in the ways of civilzation, than any
other nations or tribes of Indians in
the United States; and their early
habits of agriculture and semi-civili
zation, made it easier for them to
assimilate their ideas with those
of the white men, than it haa
been, or is, with the Buffalo
hunting tribes of the plains, or the
hlubber eating nations of northwest
coast. But, admittirg all this, it is
gratifying to the friends of the In
dian race to be able to show by
means of this proclamation, that the
native Indians are capable of an ad
vancement in civilization highly cred
itsole to them, and the proclamation
itself is better than nine-tenths of
the thanksgiving documents, issued
by the Governors of the various
States and Territories:
CHEROKEE NATION.
THANKSGIVING I'ROCLAMATION' BY THE
PRINCIPAL CHIEF, CHARLES THOMP-
sex.
The peeple of the Cherokee Na
tion have great reason for grateful
acknowledgement of the Divine care
'and goodness during the past year;
ayearof peace and maintenance of
jlaw throughout the Nation, general
health among the people, and fair
harvests rewarding the labors of the
farmers, an amicable relation with
our neighboring Tribes, States and
'l‘erritories, and on their part evidence
ofa more kind and liberal feeling
towards us, as an Indiar Nation.
Besides, other manifest blessings
that we have been permitted to en
joy, that are all subjects for an Intel
ligent and hearty thanksgiving t 0
the ALI. wrsa rnuau or ALL.
Therefore, I, Charles Thompson,
Principal Chief of the Cherokee Na
tion, do hereby Ippoint Thursduy
the 29th day of NoVember, as 3 day
of Prayer end Thanksgiving. And
I recommend that the citizens of this
Nation, in their homes, end assent-l
bled in their accustomed places of
worship, do, on thnt day, give sincere
preise and think: to Almighty God,
for all His goodness, and earnestly
seek a continuance of his mercies.
In testimony whereof, I heve here
unto set. my hand and ihe eeel of the
Cherokee Nation, et the Executive
Oflice in 'l‘alloqueh, on this 16th day
of November A. D. one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-seven.
