The story runs thus: That an Indian came to

some cheese and lead: that the father soon
afterwards returned, and learning the fact,
pursued the Indian and shot him that party

DAME EXPERIENCE.

Experience has been schooling mankind
constantly for thousand of years. Some few
who are docile and sharp-sighted, she gently
leads by the hand, or points them onward with
her finger SO that they escape the traps and
snares which are laid for their feet in the path
of life. Others, who are forward and pur-
blind she whips numerically yet the grea-
ter part OF them grow never the wiser either
for her lessons or her lashes.
All history is as it were one great chart
drawn by the hand of experience; on the
which are distinctly marked down, the hume
rous eddies, rocks, shoals and quicksands,
that are met with in the voyage of life. We
need but look over this chart, or map, care
fully, and we see how some who began the
voyage of life prosperously, have been dashed
against this rock, and others swallowed up in
that whirlpool how some have plunged head
long into this particular pitfal, and others have
been caught in that particular snare-And
thus we might profit from the disasters of
those who have gone before us, and by shun
ming their course, might avoid their ruin
Yet these advantages for the prudent Storage
OF human life. are lost upon the bulk of man
kind: they refuse to grow wise from the expe
rience of others, and are driven headiong by
their passions into the same tracks which
thousands and millions before them had trod-
den to their own destruction
And as with individuals, so with nations.
they don't profit, as they might do, by the
history of the nations that preceded them, or
are their contemporaries. If we east Our eyes

It is also said that Mr., Monroe stated to

committed themselves to the Spanish Govern
ment, under the impression that the expedi-
ton had been authorised by the executive OF

error, had taken a part in the insurrection
and that Mr.. Foster had promised to recon-
mend them to the clemency of the Spanish
Government.
