Messages of an Indian Chief.

In the Cherokee Advocate of Oct II, we
find the message of John Ross, principal
Chief OF the Cherokee Nation, to the Legis-
lature of his tribe. In brevity Mr.. Ross's
messages might pro6tably serve as a model
for Governors of the pale faces, or even for
their great father at Washington He la
ments the death of President Taylor, adding
due moral reflections thereon, expresses pecu-
liar regret at the death of DIR. VIM. Butler,
late .. s agent among the Cherokees returns
thanks to Divine Providence for the goodness
of the crops, rejoices that peace and good order
generally prevail in the nation, while he la
ments at the growth of class of Incorporate
and thieving characters, and proposes build
ing Jail to corret them-suggests that the
expenses of the Government ought to be
diminished, and thinks it indispensable that
a census of the people be taken, in order that
the appropriation lately made by the U. S.
Government, may be justly distributed-and
all in but little more space than is occupied
by this paragraph. Truly John Ross is man
of bushes and wastes no words.

THE BIrrERs OF LIFE-The happiness Of
life consists of incongruities; the sweets are
rendered more sweet by its bitters. The IL
tied great, the owners of the soil, the capital
lists, seek their happiness in the turmols of leg
islation, the horrors of war, and the chances Of
speculation, because such avocations excite
their energies. Love is a mixture of in
congruities; affection, doubt, jealousy, hope,
fear, tifs, and reconeiliatons, are its component
parts. Life's bitters are requisite to the en-
joyment of its sweets.

1t is not often that allow ourselves to speak in
praise OF any of the patent medicines Of the day, but
owing 10 the many testimonials of praise that we
hear daily concerning McAlister's Al.Healing
Ointment, we must needs say that for ourselves we
have never used or seen medicine as in name so
applicable ss this medicine. II is indeed truly as
tonishing to what virtue is impaired in SO simple
yet powerful remedy. For burns, bruises, scalds
all diseases of the skn and inflammations we be-
Iieve it has no eqaal. Call and get pamphlet in

A Rich Scene,

A'Mrs. Stansbury, residing in court run
ming from Pace street below Sixth, was about
to bring bucket of water from the hydrant
last night,-she found an old basket suspend
ed from the knob of her front door, Putting
her hand into the basket alive and kicking
but so enveloped in rags that no father dscov-
cry could be made without nnwraping the OBJ
ject. A piece of paper folded like a letter, lay
by the side of the animated bundle Mrs.
Stansbury Immediately returned into the
house, and by the light of the lamp, examined
the billet 1t was addressed to her husband,
She tremulously broke the seal and read as
follows:

MEMoRY.-When the tolls and fatigues of
the day are over, who does not love occasion
ally to indulge in or review of by gone years
No toll, no perplexity attends it. It's an ex-
ercise we reserve for an idle hour. In sum-
mer, we may repose beneath the shades of a
favorite tree, and whilst we recall the adven-
lures of childhood, enjoy, at the same time, the
surrounding scenery. In winter we may seat
ourselves beside the blazing hearth, and whilst
we recount many past deed, we can, at the
same time, enjoy our freside in security, and
feel alive to the present; but in this the mind
is at ease; no labor of the intellect, no per-
pIexity attends it. Memory is the most inde-
pendent faculty of the human mind, because
its Office is simply to reproduce what reason
has dictated and habit confirmed whilst every
other department of the mind is equally de-
pendent on memory for the exercise of its
power

rejoice when the sun is risen !;

L1FE.-Men rejoice when the sun is risen !;
they rejoice when it goes down, while they
are unconscious of the decay of their own lives.
Men rejoice at seeing the face of new sea-
son, as at the arrival Of one greatly desired
Nevertheless, the revolution of seasons is the
decay of human life. Fragments of drift-wood
meeting in the wide ocean, continue together
little space; thus, parents, wives, children,
relatives, friends and riches, remain with US
but for short time-then separate, and the
separation is inevitable. No mortal can escape
the common lot; he who mourns for departed
relatives has no power to cause them to re-
turn. One, standing on the road, would read
lily say to a number of persons passing by,
will follow you. Why, then, should person
grieve when journeyiug the same road. which
has been assuredly trodden by his forefathers? =?
Life resembles cataract rushing down with
irresistible impetuosity. Knowing that the
end of life is death, every right minded man
ought to pursue that which is connected with
ultimate bliss.

cases known to exist in the State of Massa-

months. When the road is completed to Al

Your heart broken NANCY.
Mr. Stansbury was in the basement kitch-
en- quietly eating his supper and little imag-
ining what a storm was brewing over his head
The door of the kitchen staircase was violent
Iy thrown open and Mrs. SIS voice yelled out
-'Stansbury-eome up here you william

wiped his mouth and obeyed the summons
Don't you want to see Nancy, the heart brok-

rogue in well feigned perplexity. why Nan
cy, the mother of this baby that has been hung
up at your door. Mr.. Stansbury, oh. you look

expose you before every body?'
In less than five minutes Mrs. S. had collect
ed a room full of spectators, (half the inhabt-
ants of the Court to witness the process OF
unwrapping the baby. Anxious expectations
sat on every countenance, as the jealous lady
tore away rag after rag from the body Of the
foundling-the vigorous movements of which
astonished every body-:Lt's just like you, ii
has the devil in it already, exclaimed Mrs. S.
When all at once the baby jumped up and
made its escape through the open door,

was played off on Mrs. S. was traced to fe-
male neighbor Pennsylvania.
