DEAR SIn-No one REFUGEES more than
l do, to perceive the general zeal for pub.
lie improvements, by establishing facili.
ties of commune alton and transportation,
not only through the boundaries Of States,
but throughout the Union. Thus con.
solidating their interests, and uniting in
friendship and good will, all the citizens
of our nation; thereby rendering US tru-
~ one people, and destroying all local
prejudices and sectional jealousies. !
have double pleasure on this subject,
when l contrast our present prospects
with the state Of things during our revo-
lu,ionary contest. No one knew better
than did, and few SO we'll, the difficult
ties we experienced by the want Of good
roads, bridges, and the means which wa.
ter transportation affords for tho convey.
ance OF provisions and munitions OF war,
when that scourge of nations existed

HEALTH.

Under the above head, read an arti-
Gle in late paper, recommending the
use of sailed meats at this season 10 pre-.
ference to fresh meats. agree with tina,
writer, but would 60 farther, and say tina,
fresh meats ought to be entirely dispens-
ed with during the months Of July and
August, especially in a city where the
air becomes SO contaminated as to pro.
duce epidimic fevers.
| have for many years observed that
those persons who principally live or
salt provisions, are not liable 10 the com
mon diseases of the season. Among
them it is rare to find head-achs, chole.
ras, dysenteries, langours, bilious sto.
machs and the like, but on the other
hand they bear the greatest heats and

the Indians had taken off il was ascer-
tanned that there was between TWO and
three hundred warriors in camp, many OF
whom appeared disposed to provoke
some difference, SO that they might hnd
a pretence for taking all our properly,
or perhaps numbering the whole party.
In this, however they failed, as the whole
company manifested determination not
to involve themselves in any difficulty
whatever, choosing to submit 10 the most
violent oulrages, rather than resent them,
as it was but too evident that resistance
would have been madness, there being
in their own and our camp between 6
and 700 warriors, about IL or Is etfec-
tive men in ours. During the whole oil
this evening and the next day until even
ing, there we're continually many OF
them in our camp, constantly endeasor-
ing to steal from US or take by force such
asticles as they wanted. During the
evening OF the l4th, and morning OF the
18th, when the whole cavalcade OF the
Osages moved to our camp, they did re-
turn some so or 60 of our animals which
they had driven off, chiefly those that
were of the least value; retaining the
best, 10 the number of about $50. There
was with these Indians man who spok e
their language fluently, as also the
French language, so that our company
had no difficulty in conversing freely with
them. They were told tina, their con-
duct would be represented to the proper
officers of our government, and that a
just recompense would be demanded OF
hem. Perhaps in no instance whatever
has there ever been such violent and
and unproyoked outrage committed by
Indians under the control Of the govern
ment, against its citizens.
Will the government demand only for
its citizens the return of the animals thus
lorcibly taken, or their value ? Or will
it not take prompt and effec,ual mea-
sures to prevent repetition of such of.
fences Useless indeed will be all le-
gislating on the subject Of the trade un-
less security and protection is given 10 it
BY the government against those nations
OF Indians who are continually lurking
about the ain pass way--seeking whom
they may rob or murder.

RULES FOR SUMNER HEALTH.

RULES FOR SUMNER HEALTH.
These rules, though for summer, will,
with due allowance for latitude and sea-
son, suit almos. any time and place.
!. Leep yourself cool; but this you
may say is impossible in our hot weather.
I, is indeed difficult, still something is to
be DONE axe, for instance, nothing
heating and stimulating, merely for the
sake OF pleasing your palate, CT supplying
your brain; no. drop, except your health
requires it. This, at least will save you
some monty, and proven, many evils be-
side.
9. Don't eat too much, which at least
hall your neighbors do.
8. Retire in due season---.has in due
season you may rise.
4. Throw your feather beds out oil the
window, or put them where you will not
see them again till December. For iea-
,hers, take the following substitutes :
first, because best, the inner hGsks OF
the corn, cutting off the hard end next
the cob, dividing the husk lengthwise
into severa! slips by hatchel, by the
hand, or by strong iron comb; second,
hair ; third, straw. The husks, or straw,
may be put loosely irto sack, or made
into matrass: the latter mode is best.
No young person should ever sleep on
feathers, and then old ones will moi wish
10.
$. Adapt your clothing to the season ;
too much or too little are both equally
bad.-Leave the body wholly free IRON
pressure or restraint.
6. Subject the passions TO reason, and
selishness TO Justice.
T. Preserve the appreciation Of your
own mind.
8. Wash your skin locally, more or
less every day-and generally, at least
twice week.
9. Never waste the resources Of a
sound constitution and sound health. Ii
You should fall sick, after observing
these rules, you will at least have the
consolation of believing that you have
not made yourself i'll. When you can
no longer do without medical advice,
send for physician who no, only under.
stands his duty, but is faithful in the dis
charge OF it. Tell him at once all you
feel and all you know about your case.
Never treat him like conjuror, nor
obige him to act like one. Follow
his advice implicitly; tell him every
time he calls on you, what has happened
in the interval; and then, if he should
not succeed in his FIRST effort 10 relieve
you, he will be likely to do il in the Sc.

From Miss Tayior's Practical Hints to
yoUnS Females.

yoEES Females.
There was time when females of
rank and affluence were not thought de-
graded by dressing the fa.ted calf and
baking cakes upon the hearth when
with their pitcher on their shoulders,
they went to the well 10 draw water for
their fouks; and when even royalty knew
how to appreciate the virtues of her,
who sought wool and ilax, and wrought
willingly with her hands; who laid her
hands TO the spindle and TO the distaff;
who made fine linen and sold il, and de-
livered girdies to the merchant; who
looked well TO the ways of household
and ate not the bread of idleness. Blu.
time has wrought change in the cir.
cumsiances Of females Of the present
sge, though there are many Of all ranks
who are not less useful!y employed than
were the ma,rons of ancient times; ma
ny 10 whom il may be said. Give them
Of The fruit Of their doings, and let ,hcir
own works praise them in the gate
Happy the female in whom education
has united with natural talent, to form
so important character as that of the
mistress Of a family and happy she,
who possessing neither of these advan-
tages, has the temcrity to undertake
task to which she is altogether incom-
pelcnt. Notwithstanding that oid qvives,

with themes for ridicule, a closer obser-

.6cids.-In summer, at which season
the blood is very much disposed to pu-
trescency, it is advisable 10 increase the
proportion of vegetable food, and to
make use of acids, such as vinegar, le-
mons, oranges, and the like, provided
that they do not disagree with the sto-
mach and bowels, which is The case in
those constitutions where too much acid
is generated in the stomach. This may
frequently be known by feeling The sen-
satlon of hunger in painful degree. In
such constitutions cold provisions as
well as cold drink, are often preferable
TO hot.

changes with impuni'y, and manifest a
cheerful countehabce. liam, eorned
beet and sal polk ought TO be the stand
ing dishes OF those who value health moro
than foolish indulgence OF appetite. A
person who has sufficient resolution TO
try salt meat for his dinner for the space
of one eek, will have no hankering as-
ter food which is hourly tending TO a
putild state, which is the case with all
fresh meat at this season. The soups OF
fresh meats are az exception, as they pcs
sess not the obnoxious qualities oil The
meat--and fresh fish is the least obnox-
ious oil the meats.
We have strong exemplihca,ion OF
the above facts, in the case OF our fur
mers, whose principal die, is sailed
meat. They can and do bear the great
esl fstigues, the greatest change of he
air, without change Of dress, without
being affected with pains, colds, coughs
or Observation-Disclosures the least OF
these circumstances will induce one or
other Of these complaints on a fresh meat
eater.
The reflection of reasoning man,
one moment on this sub)ec, must COM
vince him OF the business OF my remarks.
But j, seems that while we are in health
we feel as il we are never to be sick, and
because we have escaped one season,
there is no need o! precaution the next,

Effects Of '7emherancc-We find,
from the registers OF the society of
Friends, or Qnakers, that as conse-
quence of their temperance, one half OF
those that are born live to the age of ~
years whereas, Dr. Price tells US, that
ofthe general population OF London, half
that are born live only "a years Among
the Quakers, in 10 arrive at so yeais
OF age; OF the general population Of Lon
don, only in 40. Never did a more
powerful argument support the practice

A fire should be lighted about three
