"JThich is the viHain2 Let me see his eyes;
That zohen note another man like him,
may a7,oid him.
Mr.. EDIroR-Among the offenders of the pre-
sent day who merit the public lash, one class
seems to be entirely overlooked namely, those
whose grand aim is to rob virtue of its sanctity,
and innocence of its loneliness. While the felon,
who purioins our property, is severely punished
when detected, the gamester is held up to view
AS one to be stunned, and the drunkardi is discard
ed as q nuisance to society-these vile depre-
dators, who continually preying upon the
innocent and artless female, are suffered to pass
unnotced, yea, even to make boast of their
victims. What, next to life itself, is dearer than
virtue ? for the loss Of it. even Paradise itself
was Invested Of its sanctity! What numbers
have been consigned to eternal infamy, whose
morning sun beamed with splendour, but ere it
had arrived at its meridian brightness, it was
overshadowed by the dark clouds Of seduction,
and the forlorn subject, who thus yielded to the
fascinating charms and syren tongue Of one, in
whom were placed her hopes of happiness, is
doomed to wander through the world child of
sorrow, unpitied and unknown; while the wretch,
who committed the deed, still holds his rank in
society
A circumstance Of this nature is still fresh in
my memory: Caroline B was once a lovely
girl. Her parents, though not afiuent, possess
ed sufficient of property to render their situation
comfortable, Caroline being an only child, was
Of course doated on by her parents, and no pains
were spared for her instruction and improve
ment Her easy and agreeable manners, added
to an elegant and graceful form, rendered her
the pride of society and the favorite of many
suitors, among whom was William c., the
son of respectable merchant of the village.
William had been placed by his father as clerk

INDIAN MAIDEN'S ROCK.

In the Narrative of an Expedition to the
Source of ST. Peters River, Lake Winnepeck,
Lake of the Woods, &c. &c. performed in the
year 1923, under the command of Maj. Long,
we find the annexed notice of what is termed
the Maiden's Rock, Con the eastern bank Of
Lake Pepin,) and of tragcal adventure which
gave to it a melancholy interest.
There was time," our guide said, as we
passed near the base of the rock, {" when this
spot, which you admire for its untenanted
beauties, was the scene of one of the most melan-
choly transactions that has ever occurred among
the Indians. There was, in the village Of Keoxa'
in the tribe of Wapasha, during the time that his
father lived and ruled over them, young Indian
female, whose name was Winona, which signi-
fes {" the first born" She had conceived an at
tachment for young hunter, who reciprocated
it; they had frequently met, and agreed to an
union in which all their hopes centred: but on
applying to her family, the hunter was surprised
to find himself denied, and his claims superseded
by those of a warrior Of distinction, who had sued
for her. The warrior was general favorite with
the nation; he had acquired name, by the ser
vices which he had rendered to his village when
attacked by the Chippewas; yet notwithstand-
ing all the ardour with which he pressed his suit,
and the countenance which he received from her
parents and brothers, Winona persisted in pre-
ferring the hunter. To the usual Communications
of her friends in favour of the warrior, she re-
piled, that she had made choice of man who.
being protested hunter, would spend his life
with her, and secure to her comfort and subsist-
ence, while the warrior would be constantly abb
sent, intent upon martial exploits Wnonas
expostulations were, however, Of no avail, and
her parents, having succee ded in driving away
her lover, began to use harsh measures in order
to compel her to unite with the man of their
choice. To all her entreaties, that she would not
be forced into union SO repugnant to her feel
ings, but rather be allowed to live a single life,
they turned deaf ear Winona had, at all
times, enjoyed a greater share in the affections
of her family, and she had been INDUCED more
than is usual with females among Indians. Being
a favourite with her brothers, they expressed
wish that her consent to- this union should be
obtained by persuasive means, rather than that
she should be compelled to it against her incl
nation With a view to remove some of her
objections, they took means to provide for her
future maintenance, and presented to the war
rior all that IN their simple mode of living an
