It was he who -first conceived the idea of unitingthe -vari- ous tribes ha the confederacy, and with the aid of an influential Mohawk chief, named Teltattawita (sometimes written Dackauftweeda) succeeded in carrying it out. They held. .a convention, and planned.'a system of Government some- what in the style of the founders of our Repnblic. The names of those who took, part in the convention are 'remem- bered, aud even some recollections of their speeches' ire preserved by tradi- tion. The Motives of the leaders were much thesame as those which actuated the, framers of our Constitution, and their plan was a remarkably compret hensive one. Their purpose was no - to confine the melon to the *tribes of their own stook,' but to. embrace in all the tribes or " nations't known to them so as to bring about a general and pert raanent peace. It will seem almos- ineredible," Mr. Hale remarks, "that a convention of Indian sages and states - meta actuated by these views, was held four centuries ago in Northern NOW Yoak, and yet the evidence is very strong."; There are still extant some of the songs composed at that time. - They are held in recollection by Means of strings of wampum, each string varying from the others in the collection of the beads, and every string recalling a verse. The versus are in an archaix dialect, which differs from that of the present ditY about ad much as the lan- guage'of Chancer differs from modern English. • These songs are in praise of the. confederacy, andare still chanted wheneyer a new chief is installed.. - .Nation.

Six Brave Olen Perish Phi1eat- tempting to Sate Life.

Changing Soils Permanently. • - Every farmer and gardener knows . that manure does not last a' great many years in the soil, and that it soon be- comes necessary to manure again; and. that a farm or garden if not fedwith featilizers will ran out after a while. But I have tried one way of improving thesoil which is permanent, i.e., the improvement, I calculate; will las-Fa hunt -bed years at least. soil is heavy; too heavy for gardening, and Ia have mado it light by drawing on sand, • in winter from a knoll composed mostly of sand. When the horses have had little else to do, I had thenzahitched to the sled, and covered -a --p&-tieti-d garden with a stratum of sand two, or three inches thick. In a year or two, when it became well mixed 'with the , soil, I should like you to have seen the crops that grew there 1 measured a crop of carrots' at the rate of 1,200 bushels per acre. 'This was nearly. twenty years ago°. and it is now tie best part of the garden. It does not ex- haust. The sand stays there, it cannot evaporate.
