discovering her lurking place, drag her by force TO
the house of her lover, and there leave her. For
some days she sits with dishevelled hair, silent and
detected, refusing every kind of sustenance; and at
last if kind entreates cannot prevail upon her, she
is compelled by force, and even by blows, TO com
plete the marriage with her husband. II sometimes
happens, that when the female match makers arrive
to propose lover TO a Greenland young woman, she
either fints escapes TO the uninhabited mountains,
where she remains until she is discovered and carr
ed back by her relations, is forced by hunger or
cold 10 return In both these cases, she previously
cuts off her hair, which Is an infalliable indication
that she is determined never to marry.
The peculiar disposition Of the Greenland women
is not derived from nature, whose dictates and nfu
ence are nearly the in all regions and clima,es;
it proceeds from the horror which arises at the sa
wish and dependent state of the wives of that
try and the still more abect and deserted state Of
its widows. The wives, besides being obliged to do
every servile Office, frequently subjected to the
merciess corrections Of their husbands. The wild
ows when they have no longer husband to hunt
and fish for them, are destitute of every resource,
and frequently perish with hunger. Hence matri.
mony, which ia most places make the condition OF
women more independent and comfortable, among
the Greenland women renders it truly wrctched. No
wonder, therefore, that they enter into it with SO
much reluctance and regret.

A PARODY.

TO dun--or not to dun That is the question,
Whether 'tis better that the purse should suffer
(For lack of cash) by banefu emptiness;
Or by gentle Dun to fill it up:
To dun to get the money and be enabled
To live and pay our debts-'ts consummation
Devouuy to be wish'd. To dun-to be denied,
Denied with "ca again"-Aye there's the rub
For in that I" call again" what evils comes
What disappointment sore--chagrin and woe
What time is wasted-and what shoes are worn,
In conssquence--must give us pain.
---it is this
That makes so many debts not worth collecting,
'Tis this which sickens business to despair
And Keeps from honest labor its reward.
While thus in language of complaint We speak,
We don't forget our many, many friends;
To them debt Of gratitude we owe:
To them our gratitude we freely pay,
Buoyd by their kindness, still bark shall sail,
Enjoy the pleasing calm, nor dread the boistrou'
gale.
