WHITSOL was one of the most enterprising
foies againit the Indians during the American
Revolution, and he generally made discoveries in
the neighbourhood of the month of the French
> Creek. -,
Being out upon an excursion one day near the
Allegheny, he difeovered two men ina perogue
for Pittsburgh amending the river with whitky,
powder, and articles to trade clandestinely with
the Indians. Whitfol pursued then till they ar
rived at an Indian encampment on the river,
where they difpufed of their articles to great ad
vantage. He foiled himfelf in ambush about four
miles below at a narrow pass in the river, were
he could more easily intercept them on their re
• turn. Soon after, he saw them turning a point
above, and when they came oppohte to the place
were he lay, tired upon them, which threw them
into such a panic that they jumped into the river,
and Liam to the oppefite Shore.
Whitfol took immediately possession of the pe
* rogue and the cargo, confuting principally of pel-,
( try, which he Secreted in a hollow tree.
When he secured his prize he afeended the bank
of the river to reconnoitre the encampment of the
Indians, whom he difeovered fitting round a keg
' of whiiky with the head knocked out. He crept
up unobserved, within forty yards of the place
where they fit, and he concealed himfelf so art
fully, that a young Indian climbed up a grape
vine direftly over his head, without chfcoveriug
him. He remained inambnfh till the Indians were
so completely intoxicated that they were unable

CARELESS CONTENT.
1 AM content,.! do not care,
Wag as it will the world for me;
When fufs, and fret was all my fare,
It got no ground as 1 could fee ;
So when away my caring went,
I counted colt, and was content.
With more of thanks, and lets of thought,
I drive to make my matters meet ;
-To seek what ancient Cages fought,
Phylic and food, in four and sweet:
To take what passes in good part,
And keep the hiccups from the heart.
Witt good and gentle humour'd hearts,
I choose to chat where'er I come;
Whate'er the fubjeft be that darts;
But if I get among the glum,
I hold my tongue to tell the troth,
And keep my breath to cool my broth.
For chance or change, of peace or pain ;
For fortune's favour, or her frown;
For lack or glut, for lose dr gain,
' I never dodge, nor up nor down;
But swing what way the Ship (hall swim,
Or tack about with equal trim.
I fuitnot where I (hall hot speed,
Nor trace the turn Os ey'ry tide;
If simple sense will not succeed,
I make no bulling, but abide:
For mining 'wealth, of fearing woe,
1 force no friend, I fear no foe.
Os ups and downs, of ins and outs.
Os they're fth'wrong, & we're i' th' righty
I (hun the rancours, and the routs,
And Wishing well to ev'ry wight,
Whatever turn the matter takes, A
I deem it all but ducks and drakes.
If names or notions make a noise, -
Whatever hap the question hath,
The point impartially! poise,
' And read and write, but without wrath)
For should 1 burn, and break my brains,
Pray, who will pay me for my pains ?
Fond of a true and trusty tie,
1 never loose where'er 1 link ;
Tho' if a bus'nefs budges by,
1 talk thereon just as I think :
My word, my work, my heart, my-hand.
Still, on a fide, together Hand.
Now tafle and try this temper, Sirs,
Mood it, and brood it in your breads;
Or if ye ween, for worldly Airs,
That man does right to mar his rest,
Let me be deft, and debonair
I am content, I do not care.
INDIAN ANECDOTE.
1
1 love my neighbours as myfelf,
Myfelt like him too by his leave;
Nor to his pleasure, pow'r, or pelf,
Came 1 to crouch, as I conceive :
Dame nature doubtless has designed
A man, the monarch of his mind.
How all my betters mould behave,
But fame (hall find me no man's fool,
Nor to a let of men a slave ;
1 love a friendfhip free and frank,
And hate to h^ng upon a hank.
With whom I feafll do not fawn,
Nor if the folks Abound flout me, faint ;
If wonted welcome be withdrawn,
I cook no kind of a complaint:
With none disposed to disagree,
But like them belt who belt like me.
Not that 1 rate nlyfelf the rule'

to Rand; at which time he shot the Indian who
flood centinel, rushed furiously upon them, and
tomahawked the whole party which collided of
seven Indians, who were rolling on the ground,
unable to defend them (elves.
After scalping them, he dripped them of the
molt valuable articles he found about their per
tons, which he deposited in a hollow tree.—Some
squaws who had made their escape, communicat
ed this difoftrous intelligence to their neighbour
ing party of Indians, who immediately pursued
and took hi,n, jutt as he was preparing to cross
the river. Hr was conduced to the old Chiloco,
the town where preparations were made for
torturing him. His legs were pinioned to
Rakes driven in the ground, and coals of fire were
applied to the Coles of his feet. While he fat dis
torted with anguish, an Oneidan squaw who was
most extravagantly delighted with his torture,
was very officious in infolding his misery. Her
face happening to be turned from him, he seized
an axe which lay within his reaeh, and at
stroke, funk the edge into her brain. She botfr
ed from her feet, and the Indians observing her
ludicrious mbtions in the convullions of death fell
into a vehement fit of laughter. They regarded
this as a signal aft of lllroifmi, He was in conse
quence immediately sex at liberty upon condition
of contenting to be adopted into their family, A
(hooting match was proposed, at which he beat
them alia The Indians were uncommonly .de
lighted with his performance, and exulted in this
valuable acquisition. As soon as his feet were
healed, he was taken upon a hunting excurlion,
and Shortly after made his escape.
Let the spirits of calumny and maljce, and the
eflence of envy and hypocrisy, be the principal in
gredients. Mix tliefe well together, and they will
create several notable falfhoods, which will have
a tendency to alarm the ignorant. Be fore at the
fame time to diflort fume pafl'ages of the ' Notes
on Virginia,' and boldly assert them to be fairly
extracted. Fail not to make frequent use qf the
words Athieft, Deist, Infidel, and others of a like
kind. Apply the words Jacobin and Diforgaoiz
ers, no matter how often. And to complete the
whole, anathematize all who do not approve of
Ariftecraitic measures, and therefore will support
the men who are their moll formidable opponents.
BOSWELL
After viGting the coffee-houfes, used to return
to Johnson's lodgings to give him thehews of
the day. In one of his morning rambles he had
noticed a number of fcorrilous paragraphs direct
ed against a recent publication of histriend's.
Boswell purchaied the papers, hurriedto John
son's apartment, and read to him the paragraphs.
The Doctor, having heard him to the end, repli
ed, peevishly, " So, fir, this is what they fay with
regard to myfelf. Do you know what is said of
you ?" Mr. Boswell answered in the negative.
, Why then, I will tell you, fir," resumed the
Doctor, " they fay that I am a mad dog and that
you are a tin cannifer tied to my tial.'
These are the usual pains of a party of pleasure,
and let those who are fond of happineir enjoy
them.
