ven. and again called upon to give!-lt
freezes the channel Of supply. Such the
word to those who feel none of the inconveni-
ences Of want, and are forgetful that what
they have is gift freely bestowed, that 1t
may be used tor their own benefit, and for
the benefit Of others, But charity IS melody

Il is refreshing as the summer breeze. Sure

us who have none warm themselves, they
will pity us who shlver with the cold shell

TO shelter us who are exposed.
On SUNDAY night, the 18th inst. Ser

The Onesimus Society has distributed with

from our yearly subscribers-and they are
few in number To them we feel ourselves
much indebted. not only for the assistance
they have afforded US, but for the free and
generous manner in which they have come
forward, unsolicited, and rendered that as
sistance. We trust there are many others,
both gentlemen and ladies, who wish well
TO the institution, and would willingly con-
tribute to its support, if applied to, We
therefore take this method of inviting them
TO subscribe; and Of informing them, that we
make no personal applications whatever, lest
We should extort unwillngly charity from
some, OF cause others to bestow what they
could not well spare But we will thankful
~ receive either subscriptions or donations

INDIAN JURISPRUDENCE.

The Cherokees, it is said, have esta.
blished something like a judiciary sys.
tenn, and introduced into their society,
many of the laws and uses Of civilizs,
ton. Some of their savage institutions
are disappearing under the ameliorating
influence of moral justire. As speci
men f the manner in which they dis.
pense justice in case of trivial import
we relate the following aneCdOte, said
to be authentic:
An Indian assaulted another, of which
regular information was made. The
Judge ordered the sheriff to bring the
parties before him. The sheriff went
in pursuit of them, but returned wi thOut
them. Where are your prisoners I"
said the judge. Il caught Them" re-
piled the sheriff. "Nhat did You DO
with them" 81 gave the defendant
fifteen lashes." "Wbat did You do with
the PLAINTIFF" "Gave him fifteen too"
''What with the informer, or witness"
"Why l gave him twenty-five lashes-,
for had he held his tongue, there wou'o
have been none of this fuss and trouble
1t would be we'll if all the dispenSatlon
of justice could be so equally all
promptly administered.
