REFLECTIONS.

What difference between the girls of the country
and those Ofthe town! How proud the latter are
they, to be sure, understand something of Music
and Dancing, and know how to work lace-but en-
gaging in any thing really and substantially useful,
they consider almost degrading. How are men
having to make their fortunes to succeed with
such wives-women that know nothing OF domes-
tic economy that think housewifery quite beneath
them, or take any concern in culinary affairs and
let their servants manage and waste as they please
| wonder ifthey in town, can call these VAIN idl e
wives, that makes slaves of their Husbands Help
mates Very likely for they say that live s,
10 or l5 miles from know but little of fciylliza-
ton and they treat to if they thought us gnor-
ant as savages. If this be true for one am quite
happy in my unciviized savage condition. The young
girls here think it disparagement to be diligently
employed in useful business-and if they find no
employment in home work, they work for others,
and instead of spending their earnings for gaudy
f1ppery, they purchase materials and when out of
employment work up these materials in a various
useful and ornamental household goods. The ac-
tive, industrious young man, who has farm with
neat barns &c. on 1t, gets one of these girls tor
wife, obtang a treasure the woman, beside the
easier parts of housemaids engagement, will if ne
cessary feed the pigs and poultry and milk the COWS
make butter and cheese, spin and weave mend her
husbands clothes, always darn his stockings, and is
very particular to have her victuals well cooked
and, ready in season. Now it seems to me that
such country girls make much better help mates
than the town girls. Yet some have the impudence
to call us 'Ga0ky and .SlaJsided five screwed
ourselves into the shape of an hour glass very
many of the town girls do, we might indeed be rdi-
cued, but because we have good sense enough not
to torture ourselves into shapes different from those
nature has given us, to ridcule us l am sure
is very ungentemanly, that's all. | am sure that
persons visiting our little cottages and farmhouses
will say, 'hOw much more interesting those rosy
faced, honest hearted, lively country girls are than
our inspd, starched up, mincing misses.

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.

i In making excavations in the gold regions OF
Georgia, not long since, buildings regularly erected
were discovered under the earth. Traces have also
been met, which prove that the mining business has,
at time, been followed i'm the same district
of country, as well as in North Carolina; by whom,
or what period, it is impossible now to discover.
The MOUNDS of the West have long been subject
of interest to the traveller, and of speculation to the
antquary; but u writer from Arkansas, in the
Charleston Observer states some facts yet more in
teresting. On the banks of the White river, he
says you the brick foundation of houses
few miles further, six hundred and forty acres of
land are enclosed by wall, i'm the centre of which
is a circular building there is also, in the same
negborhOod the ruins ofa city, and parallel Streets
crossing each other at right angles, may be traced
by brick foundations one mile in length-the bricks
i'm modern shape. The whole West is rich in OBJ
iects of interest the antiquarian and the natural
ist.
BY the accounts of Mr. Flint, and other travellers
says western paper, it appears the impress of the
leaves of the fruit of trees and the bamboo have
frequently been found in the peat BEDS and the fOs
sill coal formation in the neig ighborhOod of Ohio.
Pebbles of disruption, vast rocks, earth and sands,
specimens of organic, animal and vegetable re-
mains belonging to tropical climate, clearly indi-
Gated some important and extensive changes, occa-
stoned by fire water in the whole great valley OF
the Mississippi. There are regular walls, the bricks,
the medals the implements of iron and copper, bur-
led in soil which must have been undisurbed for
ages with the alphabetical characters written on
cliffs as plainly show that other of men passed
away And what world, says Mr.. Flint, must
that have been, when the Mammoth and the Melog
ONYX trod the plain, and the monstrous lizards,
whose bones are now rescued from the soil, and
which must have been teas eighty feet long, reared
their heads from the rivers and lakes Geo Paper.

LEGAL MANAGEMENT.

ANECpoTE OF EMMET-Some years ago Jour-
newman sadder in New York, who by his industry
and economy, had accumulated few hundred dol
lars i'm money! resolved to establish himself in busl-
ness in an adiacent village. After securing stu-
alton for shop he returned to the city with about
two hundred dollars to purchase his stock. He put
up at one of the public houses kept by "
W, and coniding in the integrity of the
landlord, put the money into his hands for safe
keeping until he should call for it, lie then tray-
ersed the city, in search of favorable chance to
purchase his stock, and finding that suited him
he returned his quarters and called for hls money
Your money! said the landlord, you put no mon
ey into my hands, He had no evidence of the fact,
and finding all his efforts to induce his host TO give
up the money were frutless, the despondng and IN
dieent sadder repaired to Mr.. Emmet for counsel.
After hearing statement of the facts, and taking
such measures as satisfied him that the saddlsr was
man of the strctest integrity, he rebuked nm Tor
putting the money into such hands, without evidence
: but said he, if you will do as tell you, | will
obtain your money for you The saddlcr very
readily promised strict obedience TO his directions.
WE'LL said Mr.. Emmett, 60 back to the landlord,
and tell him, when one is present, that you owe
him apology-that you have your money and
was mistaken i'm supposing that you put it into his
hands; yon will then return to me- The saddler
did so and the landlord expressed great satisfaction
that the saddler had discovered BIS mistake.
Mr.. Emmct then gave the saddler two hundred
dollars and told him to go and deposit in the hands
of the landlord but before you enter the house pro-
cure some gentleman of responsibility, TO go in and
call for glass ofb beer, and request him then to take
his scat and oarclessly pass away the time by rea-
ding the news, &c. till you arrive. You will then
enter the room, and in his presence. tell the landlord
you now wish him to take the two hundred dollars
for safe keeping till you call for it, This done, the

MATERNAL ATTACHMENT.

A celebrated preacher, named Bucholz, who re-
sided at Hasmark in Hungary, had occasion to go
to the village of EmPeries, distant about twenty
English miles from his own place of abode. He
travelled on foot, and took with him small terrier
slut, then in the last week of her pregnancy. After
having been detained several days at Eperes by
floods, he compelled to return home without
his dog, which in the meantime had brought forth
litter of five pupes He had not been in the house
an hour, when, TO his surprise, the slut in
bearing puppy in her mouth which she carefully
placed upon the mat where she ordinarily lay and i'm
medately rushed out of the house again the
road to Emperes. In the space oftwenty four hours,
she went and returned four times more, on each
occasion bring home a puppy in her mouth. 1t is
hardly necessary to state that the puppies were
quite dead as the mother brought them into the
house. As the poor, creature laid the last puppy
upon the mat, she could scarcely stand for weari-
ness; whined and trembled, looking upon her dead
puppies and after walking twice round
the mat, she laid herself fdown beside them and died
in a few minuets. In twenty four hours the animal
had run about $50 miles.

BONAPARTE's OFFICERS IN AMERICA

A short time after the battle of Waterloo, many
French officers of the late Imperial Guards, seeking
refuge from the hostiles of the Bourbons, came
to the United States among whom were the Illus
trious individuals who composed the Emperors staff
Marshal Grouchy, Generals Lallemand Late-
bvrc Dcsnouettcs, and others of similar rank
Suddenly thrown out of their brilliant grades, and
scarcely rid of the dust of their last engagements
they repaired to Philadelphia where they observed
all the etiquette frank and distinction with military
punctuality, in the glittcring camp of the field
Being in their company at boarding house,
had an opportunity of hearing their opinions and
private notions. Around the dining table were sea-
ted some twenty officers; precious group of the
remains of the grand army. Marshal Grouchy adj
dressed his aid upon the proprety of cutting off his
mustaches. .'Colonel," said he, "reform your mus
tachcs we are in n country in which we must con-
form to It's manners" "Ah ~ replied the Col loncl,
with tears III his eyes, and rubbing down his mus
taches, I" l cannot General these l wore at Jeua,
Nlarcngo and Austcrlitz; and amputatc any limb,
but suffer my mustachcs to remain where they are.
" Well" replied Grouchcy, "abide by the conse-
quences YOU will see hundreds of boys at your heels,
like another Pourceaugnac"
Major, said another General, a. cease to wear
your heavy cavalry boots and spurs they will at
tract the notice of the citizens and throw great rid-
culc upon you Your pardon, sir!' replied the
little Major they are the same wore at Waterloo
i am too much attached To them,' "Oh well,
Mcssieurs," spoke General Lefebvre," let the mus
taches and spurs be worn. The owners will soon be
glad To get rid of them''
IT'S well," exclaimed an old weahcr-beaten
Captain (who was continually drawing on piece
of paper host of little Napolcons,) but our uni
forms mus; not bc worn, as we are longer in
France Let us preserve them," said Marshall
O.. [" for the return of our little Corporal"
Although IT was pleasing sight to witness so
many distinguished officers. who had swcled the
roll of their country's fame, and had figured upon
the theatre of war during the most disastrous cam
paigns, yet there was melancholy in viewing these
heroes of modern days in strange land far from
their imperial master whom they continued to adore.
Many years have passed since these veterans
were pining upon these peaceful shores, far from

all recalled, except General Henry Lallcmand. au-

A ADISAGREEABLE SURJECT.

At the time when Sir Richard Steele was prepar-
ing his great room in York buildings, for public
orations, he happened to be pretty much behind, in
his payments to the workmen and on coming one
day among them to see what progress they had
made, he ordered the carpenter to get into the
trum and make speech that he might observe how
it could be heard. The fellow mounted, and
scratching his head told Sir Richard that he knew
not what to say, for he was no orator. 'Oh, cried
the knight no matter for that; speak any thing
that comes uppermost.' why, then, Sir Richard
says the man. 'wc have been working for your honor
these six months, and cannot get one penny of
money. Pray sir, when do you design to pay us =

not yet arrived at mans estate-a Frenchman who
had heard much talk of the city,, and who had
formed his ideas of our metropolis, somewhat on
the plan of London, of Paris or at least Havre or
Canterbury, seized with desire of feasting his
eyes with sight of the city'-and went in the stage
to the seat of the General Government When he
arrived there, and saw the scanty supply of houses
and the wide extent of streets, crossing at right
angle, and diagonay, hc was lost in wonder, at tho

LOVE.

There have been who think that love is
native of the rocks but its birth place little
when once it is called into being for it thrive
alike wherever it is transpanted. 1t shrouds itself
in atmosphere of its own creation, and sees the
surrounding objects through the medium of ts own
fanciful halo. The existence of coors depends not
more on the rays of the sum than depends the hue
which is lent to all that is externa upon the inter-
nal feelings of the mind. The bustling scenes of
gaiety may appear i'll suited to the indulgence Of
deep feeling, yet the mind which is preoccupied by
some absorbing thought has not only an inward
attraction that bids defiance to the intrusions of
others, but has even the power of converting into
aIiment all that should tend destroy its force
The crowds that pass before the eyes of lover,
seem but a procession of which his mistress is the
queen. If he talks to another, it is listen to the
welcome theme other praise from the voice partial
friendship and if the actions of others attract
his attention, it is to observe with the genere watch
fulness of lover, the and reception Ofthose
whom he regards rivals,-Ddcre, NoreL

HYDROPUOBIA.

During my first season at the Dublin unvcrsty
was invited to pass short vacation with relative
ofmy mother. He lived in the south Of Ireland, in
an ancient family mansion house. situated in the
mountains, a1d at a considerable distance from the
mail coach road. This gentleman many years
Older than ]. lie had an only sister, girl of six-
teen, beautiful and accomplished. AT the period OF
my visit, she was still at school, but was to finally
leave IT, as my host informed me, at midsummer.
Never was there more perfec, specimen of prmi-
tive Milesian life than that which the domcile of my
worthy relative exhibited. The house was enor-
mously large-half ruinous-and all, within and
without, wild, rackety, and irregular. There was
troup of idle and sattcrny servants Of both sexes,

saddler again returned to Emmet who directed him
to continue his lodging at the house for two days,
and be regular at his meals /; and then, when no
other crson is present, tell the landlord YOU will
take the money. This the saddler did, aud the un-
suspecting landlord without hesitatoin Immediately
refunded the money, which the saddler restored to
Mr. Emmei. who directed him to take good wit
ness with him, and go and demand the two hundred
doars-which you delivered i'm his hands for safe
keeping, in the presence of the gcntlemon who call
ed for the beer
The saddler accordingly proceeded to the house,
in company with another gentleman, and demanded
his money. Your money said the astonished
landlord, have not received my money, and if
you refuse to deliver it to me- shall take measures
to obtain t.-The landlord dared him TO do his
best, and Mr. Emmett Immediately instituted suit
against him in favor of the saddler. The landlord
finding himself outwted, paid over the money, with
abont twenty dollars cost.
