The number of words in this song are few and SIM
| pie. but they are made up from compounds which
carry the whole OF their original meanings, and are
rather suggestive of the ideas floating IN the mind
than actual expressions of those ideas. Literally
he sings:
Spirit Of the Northwest you are but my eiow-Inan.
By being broken into ,yabIes to correspond with a
simple chant and by the power OF lntonatlon and
repetition, with chorus these words are expanded
into melodous uterance, if we may be allowed
the term, and may be thus rendered:
Windy god. know your plan,
You but my feow-man;
Blow YOU may your coolest breeze,
Shipgebiss you cannot reese;
Sweep the strongest wind you can,
Sllingcbiss Is still your man.

The hunter knew that Kabebonicca was at his
door, for he felt his cold and strong breath but he
kept on singing his songs, and affected utter ndl-
ference. Atlength kabebonlcca entered, and took
his seat on the opposite side of the lodge; but
Shingehss did not regard or notice him. He got
up as if nobody were present, and. taking his
poker, pushed the log, which made his hire burn
brighter, repeating as he sat down again.

Very soon the tears began to flow down Kabe-
boncca's cheeks, which increased so fast that pre-:
sently he said TO himself, '' cannot stand thlsIl

songs but resolved TO freeze up all the tag orlices
and make the ice thick, so that he could not get any
more fish. Still Shngebiss, by dint OF great dill
gence, found means 10 pull up new roots and dive
under for fish. AT last KabebonIcca was compelled
to give up the contest. He must be aided by

WOMAN IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
We find the following notice of this work, which
will soon be published at the Office of The Til
bune, in the Boston Courier of Saturday. The In
tials affixed to the article show it 10 be from the
pen of Mrs. Child.
WOMAN IN TIE NlNErEESrn CENruRY.-Ihls
book, now in press in New York, Is one OF the pro-
phetic signs vi the age and like all such, will prob
ably excite good deal OF remark, for and against,
Ii is from the pen Uf Margaret Fuller, woman OF
more vigorous intellecta and comprehensive thought
than any other among the writers OF lhIs country.
Ii has the usual merits an detects OF her style. II
is strong, original full of significance, Astounding
with learned illusions and eloquent expressions;
but il is deficient in ceamess, elaborate, and some
times tangled in construction. The noble and beau
tu thoughts OF this author do not flow INTO orderly
harmonious arrangement, or pause in musical Ca
dences. To read her productions aloud Is like
walking through grand forest, obstructed with
underbrush and stones, though rich in moses and
flowers. She always has too great proiuson OF ma.
terlas. Her mind is like room too much crowded
with furniture. But large and liberal mind il is,
high in its aims, and pure IN It's intentions. Por-
ions of the book will be- consderedvery bold for
il speaks somewhat plainly on subjects which men
generally Go not wish TO have spoken OF, and ID
which women dare not speak. Every body OF any
knowledge or experience OF lteis aware OF the ter
rlble pit OF pollution which every where lies under
our feet covered with the tMnnest crust OF deco
rum We all know what an immense proportion
of young men fall through. An innocent savage,
looking on our high civilization, might almost ina
CINE that il was the deliberate intention of society
to entrap as many human souls, and degrade as
many human bodies as possible. but, by universal
consent, il is agreed 10 be vulgar and injurious 10
allude to the existence OF this rlt, or 10 venture
even glance through the thin veil that covers il.
Because the author does this, she wnl be considered
by many as uHardonaby bold But It would be
just to apply the, Quaker phrase, innocent bold
ness" because the spirit IN which she does II Is
character. II lisa cheap effort for me 10 praise the
heroism which should not have had the courage
10 practice.
Of the aims and tendencies of this uncommon
book, the following scattered extracts will give
some idea
"Wheher much or little has been done, or will
be done whether women will add 10 the talent of
narration, the power OF systematlzlng; whether
they will carve marble, as well rs draw and paint,
is not important But that II should be acknoWl-
edged that they have intellect which needs devel-
oring, that they should not he considered complete,
If beings OF affection and habit alone, Is important.
Yet even this acknowledgment, rather con-
quered by woman than proilered by man, has been
sullied by the usual selIishness so much Is SAID
of women being better educated, that they may
become better companions and mothers for men.
They should be lii Tor such companonship, and we
have mentioned, with satisfaction, instances where
it has been established. Earth knows no fairer,
holier relation than that OF q mother. Ii is one
which, rightly understood, must both promote and
require the highest attainmens. But being Of in.
finite scope mus! not be treated with an exclusive
view TO any one relation. GIVE the soul tree course,

freely developed and the being will be fit for any
and every relation 10 which II may be called: The
intellect no more than the sense OF hearing, Is 10 be
cultivated merely that she may be more valuable
companion to man, but because the Power who
gave power, by It's mere existence, signifies that
il must be brought ont towards perfection:
"lf nature is never bound down, nort the voice of
inspiration sited, that is enough. We are pleased
that women should write and speak, If they feel the
