The precise idea which the Western In dians entertain of ft future life is this: As soon as the Indian threw off the flesh, he would find himself standing on the hank of a river, the current running with great rapidi ty. Across this river was a slender pole stripped of its bark and lying close down to the water. The Indian who had lived a good life, then sees a bright object on the other side: that was ‘Right.’ He would then, de >irous of embracing the object he loved so well in the world, walk across the jnde, un mindful of the raging torrent beneath his feet, arriving in safety on the opposite shore; and Right would "then lead him among mountains covered with gold and silver, into noble hunting grounds; where he would live for eternity. But, on the other hand, the man who followed “Wrong” all his life, when at tempting to cross the pole, after death, would fall into the foaming stream, and he swept down into a whirlpool surrounded by rocks; there he would be carried round for many centuries, until, at last, he would be gradual . , i * . i. ___r IV SUCKCU 111 lowiuun uic i cimcvn and finally engulphed in an immense bottom less hole.* What became of the unfortunate sinner, the Indians could not surmise, further than he livedjorever^^^^_ TURNING THE TABLES. Lord Erskine declared at a large party, in which Lady Erskine and Mr. Sheridan were present, that “a wife was only a tin canister tied to one’s tail;” upon which Sheridan pre sented Lady Erskine with these lines: Lord Erskine, at women presuming to rail Calls a wife a tin canister tied to one’s tail; And fair Lady Anne, while the subject he carries on, Seems hurt at his lordship’s degrading com parison. But wherefore degrading? Considered aright, A canister’s polished, and useful, ami briyht; And should dirt its original purity hide, That’s the fault of the puppy to whose tail it is tied ! A poetical young gentleman, while alone in a village church the other day, under the influence ofhighly devotional feeling, deliver ed himself of the following sublime verses, which betray more genius aud wit than sym- , pathy for our fallen race : “I stand again, On sacred fane, Beneath thy turret high. Conscious that all, By Adam’s fall, Are fond of apple pie.” The deacon “remained” after service on the following Sabbath, and summoning the “Nine” to his assistance, wrote directly under neath: Men to this temple should resort, In prayer their time to pass; But some appear to come for sport, With too much apple suss. •• I n. 1.* Ntil h.ni in* hair on tin* top <*f his hwa.l.
