INDIAN THEOLOGY.
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

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.
