celebrity as portrait painter. If Mrs.
Madison's portrait was good likeness,
she must have been handsome woman
in her day, of which she still retains some
traces in her old age. Next to Washing
ton, and according to the succession ofthe
Presidents. is the portrait of John Adams,
painted by Trumbull, in his usual style;
in the same room is the picture of a saint,
by Titan; while through the folding doors
that communicate to the back parlor, may
be seen a painting of Christ Breaking
Bread after has Resurrection. This oc-
cupies nearly one side ofthe wall, extern
ding from floor to floor, and was painted
by Car spruygt, ofthe Flemish School.
1t was purchased by Mrs. Madison's son,
at cost of about two thousand dollars,
and sent to her from Europe. Over the
fire place, in the same room, is a very old
painting, representing group of maidens
surprised by Pan, while playing in a grove.
Pan, it seems, has fallen in love with, the
handsomeest one, while the rest are quite
merry at the idea ofsuch creature as he
being susceptible of the tender passion
Her collection "winds up" with number
of rare engravings, ard also fine sets OF
medals, on French and American subjects.

MRS. MADISON.

This remarkable woman is one of the
persons most visited by strangers in Wash
ington, and those who visit her are al
ways deeply impressed with her agreea-
BILE manners, her wonderful memory and
her dignifed bearing. During the last
-halfof the winter just past she has not
participated in the fashionable circles of
the metropolis, which is, perhaps, for the
number of its people, always, during a
session Of Congress, the gayest city in the
Union. The loss ola sister, at an advan-
ced age, Mrs. Todd, residing in Virgin
ia, has caused her temporary withdrawal
from all public circles. Her house, upon
what is called the Presidents Square, was
crowded on New Years Day; and next 10
the President and ex-President Adams,
Mrs. Madison received the greatest num-
Der Of visitors from the citizens Of, and
the strangers then in, Washington. Mrs.
Madison, upon that occasion, received
neatly or quite thousand calls, most of
them she received while standing, and
while attended by her nieces and grand
Aaeghters.
4 Mrs. Madison is a tall dignifed woman,
wilma full face, blue eyes and somewhat
Aorid complexion, and is apparently over
seventy years of age. Her dress was
black and in a style that eomported well
with her years; and upon her head she
wore white turban, with a black veil
Her manners have all the stateliness of
Golden time, yet sweetly harmonic with
the changes of the present day. She ex-
pressed herself grateful TO her countrymen
for the IsyoSs they have extended towards
hes n the recent acts Of Congress, and e.
viEces thatgratitude in the hattering cor.
disIity with which she receives every one
who visits her. Her house is a f1inia-
fsife museum Of the fine arts. The great
EST part of her collection is still at her for
nier residence in Montpelier, Va, but
what has already beenremoved here well
re0ays the visiter, aside from the grafifi-
cation Of seeing their venerable Possessor.
Har collections in sculpture consist of a
lVdpoleon Crossing the Alps, by Canova;
bust Of Washington, presented to Mr,
Madison, By a sculptor at Rome; and fig-
f,fes Of teities, with other representations
iftons tie ancient mythology. Around on

THE HUNTER OF THE PRAIRIES.
BY W. c. BRYANT.

Ay, this is freedom!--these pure skies
= Were never stained by village smoke;
The fragrant wind that through them flies,
- Is breathed from wastes by plough un-
broke.
Here, with my rifle and my steed,
And her who left the world for me,
Iplant me where the red deer feed
In the green desert-and am free.
For here the fair savannas know
No barriers in the bloomy grass,
Wherever breeze of heaven may blow,
Or beam of heaven may glance, pass.
La pastures measureless as air,
The bison is my noble game;
The bounding elk, whose antlcrs tear
The branches, falls before my aim.
Mine are the river-fowl that scream
From the long strip of waving sedgc;
The bear that marks my weapons CLEAN,
Hides vainly in the forests edge;
In vain the she wolf stands at bay;
The brinded catamount thatlies
High in the boughs to watch his prey,
Even in the act of springing, dies.
With what free growth the elm and plane
Fling their huge arms across my way,
Gray, old, and numbered with train
Ofvines, as huge, and old, and grayls
Free stray the lucid streams, and find
Notaint in these fresh lawns and shades;
Freespring the flowers that scientific wind
Where never cythe has sweptthe glades.
Alone the Fire, whom frostwinds sere
The heavy heritage of the ground,
Gathers his annual harvest here,
With roaring like the battles sound,
And hurrying flames that sweep the plain
And smoke streams gushing up the sky,
meet the flames with flames again,
And at my door they cover and die.
Here, from dim woods, the aged past
Speaks solemnly; and behold
The boundless future in the vast
And lonely river, seaward rolled.
Who feeds its founts with rain and dew?
Who moves, ask, its gliding mass,
And trains the bordering vines whose blue
Bright clusters tempt me as pass?
Broad are these strcams-my steed obeys:
Plunges and bears me through the tide,
Wide are these woods tread the maze,
Ofgiant stems, nor ask guide.
/ hunt, till days last glimmer dies
Der woody vale and grassy height;
And kind the voice and glad the eyes,
That welcome my return at night.

Indian Notion of the DeInge.

Like most savage nations, the Ameri-
can Indians had tradition concerning
the universal deluge, and it is singular
how the human mind, in its natural state,
is apt to account, by trivial and familiar
causes, for great events. They said there
once lived, in an island, mighty cacique,
who slew his son for conspiring against
him. He afterwards collected his bones,
picked and preserved them in a .gonrd, as
was the custom of the natives with the
relics of their friends. Ona subsequent
occasion, the cacique, and his wife open
ed the gourd to contemplate the bones of
their son, when to their establishments,
several fish, both great and small, leapcd
out. Upon this the cacique closed the.
gourd, and placed it upon the top of his.
house, boasting that he had the sea shut
up within it, and.could have fish whenever
he pleased. Four brothers, however. born
at the same birth, and curious intermed-
dlers, hearing ofthis gourd, camc, during
the absence ofthe cacique TO peep into it,
In their carIrssness they suffered It to fall
upon the ground, when it was dashed to
pieces, and there issued forth a mighty.
food, with dolphins and sharks, and great
tumbling whales, and the water spread
until it overiowed the earth and formed
the ocean, leaving only the tops Of he
mountains, which are the present islands.
