BEAUTY OF THE JEwEsss--BY cHATEAUBRIAND.
 Fontaine asked me one day, why the wo-
 men of Jewish race were so much handsom- CT than the men. gave him reason at once
 poetical and Christian. The Jcwesses, re-
 piled, have escaped the curse which has D.
 lighted upon their fathers, husbands and
 sons. Not Jewess was to be seen among the crowd of priests and the rabble who insultcd the Son of Man, scourged him to ignomy and
 the cross. The women of Judea believed in the Saviour-they l0ved, they followed him, and they soothed him under afflictions. A woman of Bethany poured on his head the
 precious ointment which she kept in vase of Alabaster the sinner anointed his feet
 with perfumed oil, and wiped them with her hair. Christ, on his part, extended his grace and mercy 10 the Jewesses; he raised from the dead the son of the widow of Main, and Martha's brother, Lazarus he cured Si-
 mons mother-in-law, and the woman who touched the hem of his garment. To the Sa- maritan woman he was spring of living water, and compassionate Judge to the wO- men in crime. The daughters of Jerusalem wept over him the holy women accompa- nicd him to Calvary; balm and spice, and weeping, sought him at the sepulchre: "wo- men why weepest thou !" His first appear ance was to Magdalen, he said to her |" Ma ry" At the sound ofthat voice Magdalen's eyes were opened and she answered, Mas terw The reflection of some very beauti- full ray must have rested on the brow of the JewesSes. On Monday evening, after sun down, we were walking in the western part of the city, and passed row of several elegant houses, yet unfinished. The workmen had gone, and middle-aged gentleman, as neat suit of black indicated, was surveying the struc- ture with evident complaceney. He was the owner of those fine dwellings. A poor, lit tie, sickly, ragged boy. was under the scaf- folding, gathering few chips into basket. The brow of the rich man lowered upon the unhappy child, and pushing him into the street, he said in an angry tone, :" Go away, go away what business have you here !- When the spirit ot that man appears before the mansions of the blest, the guardian angel will reject it, saying, "Go away, go away what business have you here ?"-- PhiIG.

 KEoKucR MuRpERED.-The Chicago Dem- ocrat says, that Keokuck was killed by young Black Hawk. The time of the murder is not mentioned, and the Democrat gives the following partclars, gathered from Pattawa- tomie Indians in Chicago, just from the Sac country.
 "D1ring the absence of nephew of young Black Hawk, Keokuck got his wife drunk and passed the night with her. Being thus detected, it fell 10 Black Hawk, as the near est relative, to avenge his nephew's injury, which he took the earliest opportunity to dc, and stabbed Keokuck at the entrance of his nephew's wigwam. Keokuck, 1t will be re- membered, was always the friend ot the whites, and opposed the celebrated Black Hawk or Sac war, and was promoted chief through the instrumentality of the United States Government. He was about fifty years of age, and at the time of his death was this side of the Les Moines river, about l25 miles -four days journey, the Indians have it,) West of the Mississippi. Young Black Hawk is now chief of the Sacs, and, at last news, was at the head of 2O00 warriors march ing for the Sioux country. He has lost none of his inveterate hostility to the whites but the terror with which his late travel through the United States with his father and the Pro- phet inspired him, may keep him from any overt demonstrations of it, although he sneers at the peaceable disposition of Keokuck, and swears he will convince other nations of the invincibility of his warriors. He sent to the Sioux that he had murdered the woman chief and was coming upon them with warriors moro numerous than the trees of the forest. To whom the Sioux replied, we would be met by warriors as numerous as the leaves upon those trees. Young Black Hawk IS about thirty years of age, and altogether the most handsome Indian in the tribe. In pas sing to the Sioux country, he crosses the Pot tawatomie lands, which will be neutral ground SO long as neither party infringes upon the rights and regulations of the PottaWatomies.
