The following stanzas were scut
the TiiAiVsrouTKit by a friend for
publication whicli will no doubt be
of interest to ti number of our rend-
ers. Jt is a mother's tribute to a
son who is' now among the Indians
in this Territory :
Shield him 0 thou loving Savior !
ICoopthy watchful cyo on hhn
when tho ciy and shout of Indians
jMnko his hope ot'lile yrow dim;
Let thy Kuanlhm ah.c1h hover
Hound that much beloved form;
Ward the nrrow.s as they Whistle
From that heart bo Lnicaml Avarm.
Uo ih ours d Kentlo .Saviour.
And wo fain would have him thine
Let thy truth prevade his spirit
Lot tliv uracil upon him shine
Jlnv ho "learn to lean upon thee
vhon the dangers thicken 'round
And to heai thy 'still voice" eallliiK
Far above the war-wlioop'b bound.
We arcAvakeful In the midnight
And at morn our prayers arise;
And the burden is "O watch him
From the homo above the skies."
Wo havo telt our prayers answered
When the storm beat loud and wild;
Now again we cry with fervor
0. my O'od protect our child !"

intimation we had heard of their
presence they came riding through
the Agency taking prisoners every
man they found with a corn husk
in his hat. loth forces well armed
