society, and sacrificing them all toihe causo she had esponsedA -hene she stood, about to make seif-iusm0Iat and, far away from country and kindred, and all the en- dearasents of fond fathers house, resign herself into the arms of a man of the woods. who could not appreciate the sacrifice ::- She looked like II dropping flower by flilI side eta rugged henIpckl We loHged t0 interposs aud rescue her.

 The ceremonies went oRS-she promised to love, hnnOr and obey the Chippewa--- and, all iremnlons as she stood, we heard the Indian and herself pronounced man and wife It was the first time we ever heard the words man and wife' sound haiefully.
 The sweet creature is now on her way i0 the wiIds of Upper Canada--lhe Indiana Bride
 Such is the histesy of case of manifsss and palpable delnsion. Peter Jones can not say with Olhello, tllat she loved him fur ihe dGagers he had passed The young lady was not blinded by the trappingy of military costume, or the glare of martial glory; but she is n very piaus girl--whose whole heart and soul has been dev0iedto the cause ofheatben missions and she has thus thrown herself into the cause, and re- solved to love the Indian for the work in which he is engaged. For cur own part, we must say, that We wish he had never crossed the Niagara. But the die is cast, and the late comedy and accomplished Miss FIELD, of London. is now the wife of Mr. Peter Jones. ofthe Chippewas. But thas she is deladed, and knows nothing of tho life she is to encounter, there can be nO doubt. As evidence of this, she has brought out the furniture for an elegant household siablishment--rich china vasea for an Indian lodge, aud Turkey carpets. to spread upon the nlorasses of the, Cana- dian forests Instead of maRsion,, she. will ind wigwan, ,and the manufacture of brooms and baskets, instead ofembroidery.
 In justice to the spectators the scene, however, it is proper to state, that few of her real friends in this city--thoss into whose immediate society she was casi--la- bored diligently. e open her eyes to tho re- al state of the case, and the life of hardship and trial which she is inevitably destined to lead. Poer girl! We wish she was by her fathers ingle in Lambeth, and Peter, Jones preaching lO the Chippewas, with the pretaiest sqaaw among them for his wife! .
 On the practice of COusing efiey bed time.-I In our intercourse with the world, we have discovered one evil among rho young people of onr land, who are pof bound in Hymen's golden chains, that ex- erts most direinl influence on socie.y.-- We mean the praciice of cOurting after the usual time ofgoing to bed. Now wa arO fully aware that in laying this subiecs hsA fore .L : ;s:;., sas.s y ~ii nave 10 combat the preiudices of those for whom it is designed. But, as thisi is an,age of reform, we trust ev- ery enlightened and yirtuous citizen of this great republic, after viewing it in it's proper light and in allAits bearings, will concur with US in saying that it is not only uane- ,cessary, but also very perniciousto the best interest of tine fairest portion of Gods ere ation, and treat it. al. is justly deserves. with contempt.
 Wo then say it is wholly unnecessary from the simple fact that there is the great- est abundance of time under the broad blaze of day, which is the time allotted for the performance of all worldly ailairss be- sides as tho night is the adopted time fOr rest, it is base perversion of tho lams of nature, to go like . thiefat night, E. 'b that which could be much better done under A meridian sun. And he who has not moral courage sufficient to enable him to do his .courting in daylight. would be nuch bet ter without. But say s0a,s. " il is q very harn,lass employ nlsnt to spend an evening. or as some do, two thirds of . night, ih conversation with the person of our aliee- stions, in innocent kissing. So says tho base tSpef, a little will hurt no man, but fkis little soon leads him to ruin. This is just parallel case. they say there is no harm in t,.at innocent kiss; perhaps nofs t one or two suc;. would suaice. But doesit
