Had all fathers and mothers the same idea of what
is necessary to give the female character the most d.
rabe grace and polish, they would not lavish so much
money to adorn it with fashionable attainmens. They
would not regard skill in music and drawing, and ex-
pertness in working figures on muslin and lace as
the highest accomplishments of which the female
character is susceptible. They would not think an
acquaintance with French, Spanish and Italian OF
more value than knowledge of the theory and prac-
tice of domestic economy. In word they would
not often prepare their daughters to impose upon
their husbands, and sub ect them to thousand en-
barrassments and Inconvenience.

INDIAN ELOQUENCE.

A council of Creek Chiefs was lately held in Geor-
sia, for the purpose of receiving the talk of the Pres
den on the subject of vacating their lands. The Sa-
vannah Mercury states, that after the communication
had been read by the agent, profound silence of ma
ny minutes ensued, when venerable WARRIOR named
Speckled Snake, more than hundred years of age,
arose, supported by two young men, and made the fol-
lowing truly eloquent speech, the forcibe simplicity of

our opinion, been equalled by any of the specimens
we have seen of aboriginal oratory. Emerald.

kinded him fire, that he might warm himself, and
when his enemies, the pale faces of the south, made
war on him. their young men drew the tomahawk, and
protected his head from the scalping knife. But when
the white had warmed himself before the Indians
fire, and filed himself with their homney he became
very large. With step he bestrode the mountains
and his feet covered the plain and the vaes His hands
grasped the eastern and the western sea, and his head
rested on the moon. Then he became our great faith

pushed the red man Oconee, and with the other
he trampled down the graves of his fathers and the
forest where he had long hunted the deer But our
great father still loved his red Children and he soon
made to them another talk. He said, "Get little
farther; you too near me-" But there was some
bad men among the Muscogees then. there now.
They fingered around the graves of their ancestors,
till they were crushed beneath the heavy tread of
great father. Their teeth pierced his feet and made
him angry Yet he continued TO love hisred children;
and when he found them too slow in moving, he sent
his great guns before him, TO sweep his path.
Brothers Il have listened to great many talks
from great father. But they always began and
ended in this" Get little farther; you too

now are, white brothers hare Arrays caincd the

lie. But when he first came over the wide waters,
while he yet SMALL and stood before the great chief

THE EXPECTS OF GAMING.


A friend upon whom we place the most perfect re-
lance, has communicated the following facts, which
are said to have created considerable sensation among
the friends of the parties. Their publication may be
productive of good effects, and may lead many
thoughtless mind to profitable reflection
A young gentleman of this city living with his wi
dowed mother in Broadway, above Canal street, had
for several months been in the habit of coming home
at late hours in the night, often keeping his mother
waiting until one or two O'Clock. Her advice, given
in tine mdest manner, had effect upon him, and his
restoration to regular and vrtuous habits only eff
fected by the following singular One night,
rather earlier than his hour of returning home, his mo-
Their heard the footsteps of person running up the
stairs, whom she supposed to be her As usual,
she went to meet him, but instead of meeting her son.
she was seized by gentee dressed young man, who
snatched an elegant gold watch from her side, and
made his escape before the of the lady brought
her servant to her assistance. Shortly after the son
came home and found his mother in most distressing
state of fear and indsposton. During subsequent
conversations she remarked that the robber resembed
In his general appearance a young companion of her
son, who had often called to see him The son was
much surprised and admitted that he had that evening
been in company with the individual alluded TO, who
had lost all his money at play and had left the house
at which they usually met, at early hour, much de-
Jected. He could not, however, believe that person
whom he considered of unimpeachable honor and in
tegrlty would commit such an act But the conviction
OF his mother that she not mistaken, and her de-
sire that he should take to discover whether
her suspicious were justly founded, induced him to
deavor to ascertain their correctness. The next night
they met again at the gaming table, The took his
friend aside and mentioned the occurrence The young
man burst into tears and confessed that he was the
fobber He declared that he had pawned the watch
and that the money he then venurng at play was
the proceeds. He solemnly abjured gaming from that
ime begging his friend to him from disgrace and
destruction, by keeping the secret, and promising to
redeem and return the watch to its owner He was
as good as his word. The two young men are now
in their habits, and often meet at the lady's
house. They enjoy each others society and friendship
and endeavor to find pleasure in the paths of virtue
and responsibility.
This statement is vouched for by friend, who in
forms us that it was given him by the lady from whom
tlle watch taken. ~ Y. Statesman
