feIred him and his mind constantly
brooded over the forest scenes and sports
in which he had passed his boyhood =
Vain were oil attempts to wean him from
his native habits-and as vain the efforts
to obiterate the recollections Of his n
dopted home, from his mind. While per-
suasion and indulgence were resorted to,
he modestly acquiesced; but when force
was tried, and he was compelled to
change his blanket, for the garments Of
civilized life, and his favorite bow for a
book, he grew sullenly disconte nted !;
and at last was missing in his fathers
house. lie was seen the same evening,
arrayed in the Indian garb, crossing a
distant mountain, and bending his course
towards the setting sun.
1t was upwards of twenty years aNer
this event, that Mr. Bird and his wife,
now advanced somewhat in years, re-
moved to new settlement, where Mr.
Bird had purchased tract of land, at a
great distance from their former resi-
dence; and while more commcdious
building was erecting, they Inhabited a
small hut adjacent to a thick wood -
One day the old lady was left alone, the
men of the neighborhood having gone to
distance of several miles TO assist at a
raising, she saw from her door several
armed and painted Indians approaching
her. Alarmed, but resolute, she seized
hatchet, and ascending ladder into
the loft Of the dwelling, drew it up after
her, and determined to defend herselfto to
the last
The savages entered and finding their
efforts to entice her down were vain
laid down their IiAes to ascend after her
but the first hand that was thrust through
the trap-door was severed, by the intrep-
id heroine, and an alarm being taken Al
the moment, that the whites were com.
ing, the Indians reireated, and disap
peared in the woods Instantly; while al.
most at the same moment MIR Bird ant
his party came in sight.
But scarcely had the deliverers Of hel
life approached, before Mrs. Birds eye
caught sight ofthe severed hand, and 10
\ there appeared before her the scarce
right hand of her eldest son.
Such is the story ofthe CAPTIVE Box
and from it draw the inference, that, it i.
habit that endears the savage to his wilds
that teaches him to love his own pur
suits; and to delight in blood and treach
cry; and that between the natural pas
sions, affections and dispositions Of men
there is no difference, except such as il
created by education and custom.

the pledge" "Friend Johnson" said
my husband, "when a year has gone

five months, instead of the pledge, l

a drinking man knows well the force and
meaning of these words-I have relied
upon this gold ring, to renew my strength,
and to remind me of my duty to God, to
my wife, to my children, and to society
Whenever the struggle Of appetite has
commenced, l have looked upon this

ellis Of an excellent mother, to my wife,
who placed it there: and under the bles-

and on the very day twelve month, on
which put the ring on my husbands

the tea-table together. After supper

Endeayor, s. you cannot fail to please,

Noisy mirth and loud peals Of laugh

The vulgar often laugh, but never smile:

coursed through their veins made as no.

DOMESTIC LOVE.

Should sorrow ever bring TO thee
The burden Of its tears,
And thou be doome cd 10 weep the scenes
or unforgotton years;
How will thy memory smile TO think
That hope has been repaid,
And that some joys are treasured up
Where they will never fade!

a long, long dream Of love!
j will not say how well its truth
Has been my lot 20 prove;
But far within my deepest heart,
Some JOY will aye remain,
Bound up too strongly with my life,
For earth 10 rend in twain.
Oh-Time can never take away,
Till reason leave her seat,
Nor even then-the memory,
So holy and so sweet
For virtuous, true, and ardent love
Is next 10 heaven akin!
And where such faith obtains the heart,
Such grace the soul may win.
Oh, altar Of domestic Love!
Far, far too seldom sung;
And all too sacred e'er to dwell
Upon unhalowed tongue
Ordained by Heaven to be to man
The highest bliss on earth!
The portal may'st thou prove to scenes
or more exalted worth.

The SUDDEN DESCENT TO PRoFLIGACY

THE SUDDEN DESCENT TO PRorLIGAcY.
The fierce and blood thirsty pirate,
who stains the highway Of nations with
the blood of unofiending victims, in the
purer days Of his boyhood would have
shuddered at the bare recital Of such
tales Of atrocity. The lawless thief once
feared the petty pillerer; the habitual
liar once better understood and reveren-
ced the obligations oftruth ;and the beast
Iy drunkard once could view with min
gled pity and disgust the bloated visage,
nervous tremors, and tottering gate of.
the Incorporate. / wish you to remem-
Der, that man never becomes exces-
sively base on a sudden. There is a,
gradation in crime; there are interme-i
date steps between sin in its first acts,
and sin in its more profligate acts He
that indulges lust by the eye, will grad
ualIy be led to indulge in its positive
acts; he that conceives and entertains
anger in his heart, may soon become a
murderer. Sin begets sin, and is carried
onward by a compound multiplication -
Lust is never satisfied by stated and
regulated allowance, but the demand is
perpetually increasing. The tippling Of
jovial spirits is the pioneer to debauch;
the gambling for amusement leads to the
gambling for gain; impuri!y in its con-
cealed forms, prepares the wav for licen-
tiousness in its more odious aggravations.
Let no one of you vainly imagine that he
will 90 thus far and no further, for the
prescribed boundary will quickly be pas
sed, and each indulgence will impart
fresh vigor to sinful propensities; until
they shall become hard task-masters, de-
