A Choctaw Indian, in Arkansa7, lately stab

Iudian on which brother OF the chief came
to the murderer and told him he must have re-
venge. Ready assent was given,--the murder
or even assisting in the preparations, and when
ready the Anext morning, gave tile signal, ex-
tending himself over the open grave Of the
murdered Indian. lie was shot through the
heart, and dropped in by the side of the dead
body.--A similar scene occurred at Baton
Rouge, only the whole transaction, from the
murder to the trial and execution, did not ex-
coed so minutes.

Mobile has been visited with unusual stva+ms
Of flies, which almost filed the air and covered
the houses, and sides and shrouds Of vessels in
port, SO as to obscure the walls Of the former,
and canvas Of the latter. The swarms foated in
the air like clouds. The Mobile editor says the
fly, in IFS character and appearance, comes near
er TO the ephemera or day Fly, as described by
Barbut, than any thing we know of.-SPectator.

EXTRACTS

From Remarks during Journey through NORTH
.4merica, published IN the Christian Observer.
The next American habit on which will remark,
which always offends me extremely, is the almost
universal one of splitting, without regard to time,
place, or circumstances. You must excuse my al
udng to such topic; but could not in candor
omit it, since il is the most offensive peculiarly in
American manners. Many, who are really gentle
men in other respects offend in this; and regret
ted to observe the practice in the diplomatic
parties at Washington. Indeed, in the Capitol it.
|self the dignity of the Senate is let down by this
vile habit there the first session after it was
rebuilt; and as the magnificent and beautiful halls
had been provided with splendid carpets, some oil
the Senators appeared little daunted; but after
looking about in distress, and dsposing of their d.
luted tobacco al first with timidity and by stealth
they gathered by degrees the courage common te
corporate bodies and before left Washington, hat
relieved themselves pretty well from he dazzling
brightness Of the brilliant colours under their feet

THE EVENING HOUR.
This is the hour when memory wakes
Visions of Joy that could not last
This is the hour when fancy takes
A survey of the past.
She brings before the pensve mind
The haiowed scenes of earlier years;
And friends who long have been consigned
To silence and to tears.
The few we liked--the one we loved
A sacred band stealing on!
And many form far hence removed,
And many pleasure gone
Friendships, that now in death are hushed,
And young .?6ect'on'S broken chain;
And hopes that fate too quickly crushed,
In memory bloom again!
Few watch the fading CLEANS Of day,
But muse on hopes as quickly flown;
Tint after tint they died away,
Till all at last were gone
This is the hour when fancy wreaths
Her spells round joys that could not last;
This is the hour when memory breathes
A sigh to pleasures past!

a ST0RM OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
HIGH on the east the great Ben Lomond rears
His lofty head, and hides it in the clouds!
These oft attracted by his tow'ring height,
Stop short their airy flight, and form veil
Which dark and thick descends. Condensing still,
Part slowly sails along and swelling, shrouds
The neghb'ring hills-the glens how dark between,
The winds are hush'd-the birds expectant pause!
The OK with wistful gaze eyes the deep gloom!
Nor voice of man is heard, nor pipe nor horn;
But silent expectation reigns and bodng fear!
Sudden athwart the gloom the lightning glance
As quick reflected by the placid lake,
With lucid air darts bright Anon sublime
In awful majesty the thunder rolls;
Onward it rolls, and louder roars,
In bursting peals successive heard afar,
Re-echo'd oft by rocks and caverns deep
From all the neighb'ri hills-t circlng round
Still gaining force, again it bursts peal
That stuns the Rocks dashd on rocks are heard
Rafting around. The stoutest heart appalled,
Withwild dsmay, scarce dare to eye the gloom:
Deep seam'd with frequent streaks of moving fire,
Darling in "a id CLEANS from cloud to cloud
The clouds are seen in widest tumults mix'd;
And nova mighty fash with fearfulglare
Wide openshalfthe sky The heavy rain
Pouring IN streams, resistless rushes down,
Flows the red mould, and bears it to the man!
Nature convus'd, the everlasting hills
Appear TO toter, and the total wreck

BY HENRY KIRKE WHITE.
The Lord our God is Lord of all,
His station who can findl
l hear him in the waterfall!
hear him in the wind!
If in the gloom of night shroud,
His face cannot Fly;
Isee him in the evening cloud,
And in the morning sky.
He lives, he reigns in every land,
From winters polar SHOWS,
To where across the burning sand,
The blasting meteor glows!
He smiles, We live; he frowns, we die;
We hang upon his word =
He rears his red right arm on high,
And ruin bares the sword.
lie bids his blasts the fields deform---
Then, when his thunders cease,
Sits like an angel mid the storm,
And smiles the winds 10 peace!
