INDIAN RECORDS.

Al certain seasons, the Indians
meet to study the meaning. and re-
new their ideas of their strings and
belts of wampum. On such occa.
sions, they sit down around the place
in which they are deposited, and tax
ing out a string or belt, one after a
mother. hand them to every person
present; and in order that they may
all comprehend its meaning, repeat
tho words pronounced on the delive-
~, in their whole connection. BY
these means they are enabled to re.
member the promises reciprocally
made; and as they admit young boys
who are related to the chiefs, they
become early acquainted with all
their national Concerns; and thus the
contents of their wampum documents
are transmitted to their posterity.-
The following instance may serve to
show how vol this modeof commune

The following. in the form OF an
apology, is extracted from the Free
masons' Magazines. 1t is happily
conceived. and in an eminent degree
beautiful:
DALCH0'S APOLOGY TO THE
LADIES.
Agreeabiy to the tenets OF our er-
der, the fair sex are excluded from
associating with us in our mystic
profession; not because they are
deemed unworthy of the secret, 'nor
because the mechanical tools Of the
craft are 'too ponderoas for them to
wield;' but from a consciousness OF
our own weakness. Should they be
permitted to enter the lodge, Love
would often-times enter with them;
jealousy would probably rankle in
the hearts Of the brethren, and fra
ternal affection be perverted into ri
vaTship. Although the most amiable
and lovely part Of natures works are
excluded from our meetings, yet our
order protects them from the attacks
of vicious and unprincipled men. 1t
fnrbids US to sacrifice the case and
peace of families for a momentary
qualification; and it forbids US to I'M
dermine and take away that trans.
cendant happiness from those whose
hearts are united by the bonds of sin.
Cere affection.
The feelings Of women are more
exquisitely fine, and their generous
sympathy is more easily awakened,
by the misfoItuues Of their fellow
creatures, than the stronger SEX
The soft tear Of pity bedews their
cheeks at the tale Of wo, and their
gentle bosoms heave with tender G.
motions at the sight Of human
wretchedness. They require not the
adventurous aid of mystic institutions
To urge them to acts of charity and
beneyoIence, nor the use OF symbols
to lead them to virtue. Their own
hearts are the lodges in which virtue
presides; and the dictates Of her will
is their only incentive to action.
