CArrrrc ALTON OF SoUlRRELs.-A
gentleman from Midway, in this State
has given Us the following curious case
Of demonstration. A sportsman in that
vic unity not long since took possession
ola squirrels next, in which he found
two OF the little animals apparently
but a day or two old. He carried
them home, and put them under the
tuition Of Grimalkin, who luckily hap
pened to have a brood Of kittens Of
nearly the same age and size, two OF
which he ruthlessy, and without the
least regard to principle, abducted for
the purpose of making rom for the
bush-tailed and long whiskered inter
lopers. The cat nursed them ali
thenceforth with an Understandable pa
rental affection and the squirrels arc Al
this time, being about q month old, al
much at home with both the old cat
and the rest of the family, as the kit
tens themselves. The whole troop Of
the unmannerly little rascals (as our
friends says) may be seen racing about
the house together in all weather
heads up and tails flying, for all the
world like a smart corps Of d, agoon.-

of having done our duty to our creator and

to fix our hopes on high, to rob the grave

HoME-There is more spell work a.
bout the home Of our fathers than he who
has never been a wanderer imagines.
Ask the poor exile on a foreign shore,
what visions fit across his bosom, and
enchain his fancy, and call the deep drawn
sigh, as he gazes, silently and lonely, on
the sweet midnight moon, and he will tell
YOU in the fulness Of his heart, they are
the visions Of his early home.-ThOugh
his path be across the ocean-though
he wander among the icebergs Of Lap
land, or set down in the island of the sea,
he feels that he can never out travel the
memory Of his native village. Tho am
bition lead him into the world of business
he will often pause, even when success
has gratiiied his wishes, and linger whole
hours over the memory Of days gone by,
as they steal in the language Of the Bard
Iof Morven, like music to the soul. He
will delight in every bush and tree, and
Towering landscape, and singing bird
that rescmbled those he saw and loved in
youth; and ifin the fartbest corner of the
globe, he hears the gentle breathings of a
strain, with which IN his native hills, he
has been familiar, what a world of sweet
yet half melancholy jov docs it kindle
in his bosom. Yes his home is still deal
to our hearts, and like the comet, exiled
from the sun, he would still go but to re
lturn-and seldom grow so old, and neve,
wander SO far as to be beyond the reach
of its attractions.

A WESTERN WARRIOR.-"Ihe
western warriors, in full dress as for a
great dance, wear two or three clasps
of silver about their arms, generally
Jewels in their ears, aud often in the
nose. Ia fact, it is as common among
these tribes to see thin circular piece
ofsilver, Of the size Of a dollar, hang
ling an inch or two from the nose, as it
was among the ancient Indians to see
a piece of carved bone or stone in the
same situation. Then the painted
porcupine-quills are twisted inthe hair.
Tails Of animals swing from the ears be-
hind. A necklace of bears or alli-
gators teeth, or claws Of the eagle, or
red beads; or, if nothing better can be
had, perhaps a string Of red thorn
jplums; hangs from the neck. The
brass bells are laid thick on the lower
part of the dress. Add to all this fine
nv an American hat, and a soldiers
blue coat faced with red, and your
modern Indian dandy, stepping firmly
on the ground to give bis thinkers fair
chance to sound together, apparently
regards his attractions with as much
!complacency as the human bosom can
be suppose to feel"
CoyRrsHIp AND MARRrAcE.--sThere
lis no custom or ceremony In the do
nestle life of the Indians which is
practised with more variations than
their eourtship and marriage.
"Among many tribes the negotia-
ton is carried on altogether BY the
parents Of the parties, though not Of
ten without their having previously
noticed some attachment between the
persons for whom they act. The moth
er of the bridegroom more frequently
in these cases, commences the move
ment by taking present to the wig
wan where the young woman resides
such as a leg Of venisoD, or piece
Of fat bears meat-Dever forgetting to
mention that her son was the success
full hunter of the game. In return, If
the mother Of the bride elect approves
Of the match, which she now under
stands to be proposed, she prepares a
savoury dish ofvictuals, the produce Of
the labor Of womcn-perhaps beans,
or Indian corn-and then taxing it to
the bridegroom's wigwam, gives 1t to
the mother, and says-'This IS the pro-
duce Of my daughters field

FUNERAL AT SEA.-"Ar four o'clock
in the afternoon the funeral service ofthe
deceased sailor took place. 1 supposed
that the body would have been thrown
overheard without much cermony, but it
was not SO; the funeral was the most SOL
emn l ever witnessed. The body was
laid out with great dccency, and then en-
volved in hammock and Sc wed up. A
bout fifty pounds Of stone were secured to
the feet, concealed by the hammock in
which it was wrapped: for the purpose Of
sinking the body deep in the ocean. The
corpse was extended upon plank on the
rail Of the gangway, and all hands were
called around, on the right side Of the
ship, to witness the solemn scene, and to
join in the prayers to be offered up. The
colours were set halfmast, and the top
sails and op-gallant-sails were settled
down on the cap Prayers were then
read. The hardy crew were deeply aft
'ectcd at the scene. The burrows in their
sunburnt faces were wet with tears. New
Ter before had beheld SO solemn a group
l thought they had the kindest hearts Of
ANY set of men that ever lived. The
prayers being over, a gun was fired from
the bows Of the schooner, and the body
instantly launched INTO the bosom Of the
ocean. The plunge was a dreadful shock
Of nv feelings! l had heard the first
shovelful Of earth thrown upon a coffin in
Ia graveyard at home; it was hart-ren-
ding, but not so bad as this plunge into the
deep. To the graveyard friend might
repair, at some future day, and linger
over the ashes ofthe dead, might erect a
stone at his head, and compose the mind
by writing his virtues OF the marble, but
here in this grave no mortal could tell
where he was-the waters had cIosed over
him for everr'

WALk1NG.-"I have heard an anec-
dote from good authority, which has al
ways struck me as containing fair and
wholesome piece Of satire. An Ameri-
can female, some years ago, attended by
her husband-a naval hero,-took voy-
age to South America. Being Of an ad-
venturous spirit, travelled into the interior
of the country mounted on a milk-white
horse, of the beautiful South American
breed; and being dressed in pure and
elegant simplicity, and possessing sp!en-
did form aud face that would have beer
attractive anywhere, the inhabitants took
her for the Madonna, and bowed the knee
and fell upoa the ground as shejourneyed
along. They followed her until she
alighted from her horse, when they i'm
mediately questioned her divinity-there
was nothing of the goddess in her move
ments-she had an awkward walk"

VVHE only specific ever offered to
the public, from which per
manent and radical cure may be OBJ
tanned Of that disagreeable pain, the
toothache, with all its attendant evils;
such as fracturing the jaw in extracting
the teeth, which often proves more ia
tai than the toothache itself; and cold
passing from the decayed teeth to the
Jaw, thence to the head, producing a
rheumatic affection, with many other
unpleasant effects; such as disagree
able breath, bad taste in the mouth.
sc. &c. all of which are produced
from foul or decayed teeth. | am hap
py to have it in my power to offer to
the world remedy, that will not only,
remove the pain nine times out Of ten,
but preserve the teeth from further de-
cay, and arrest the disease in such as
are decaying and have not commenced
aching, restoring them to health and
usefulness
CERTIFICATES.
Mr.. Thomas White: l have the
pleasure to inform you, that agreea-
BILE to your request, l have been using
your Toothache drops in my practice
for some time past, and l must ac-
knowledge that ] find them far supe-
rior to any thing have ever yet known
for that purpose. You are entirely
safe in recommending them to cure
nine times out Of ten; for from the
success that have had, ! believe your
Recommendation falls short Of their
merits.
am well convinced thatit will cure
most cases of Toothache when it is
timely and properly applied. l am
not able to say much at this time as to
its preservative properties; but from
what have seen Of your teeth that
have long been cured and preserved
from decaying, and from few weeks
experience am decidedly the opin-
ion that it will have very beneficial
effect in preserving the teeth; and re-
commend it, hoping that it may prove
a blessing to humanity, and adyanta
geous 10 yourself.

Oh, Erin, sweet Erinl thy strains
To the heart broken exile are dear,
And each note in its sweetness remains,
Long, long on the listening ear.
But even when those sounds should be gay,
Such sorrow is NAKED with their tone,
And each note me)ts SO slow away,
That our hearts feel their sadness alenel
oh, It's thus when life's sunshine is o'ers
And its visions in darkness are laid,
When the friends of our youth are no more,
And our hearts Will not beat as they did;
A sound will bring back thoughts that passed
Like shadow DER all that is glad;
We may laugh as we will, but, alasl
The sound of our laughter is sad.
