MR.. F. Way,
Italian Professor Of Music.

HAViNG permanently settled himself
IL with his family, in the City OF Baton
Rouge, where he has resided since eighteen
months, offers his respectful thanks to those
persons who have already honored himwith
their confidence, and tenders anew his pro-
fessional services to all those wishing to be
fought on the Piano, Violin, Guitar or in
Vocal Music
Convinced by a long experience, that in
the study of music specially pedantiy is
disgusting, and that general routine Of in
struction will only produce Indifferent per-
formers, he will use all his endeavours to
place himself on level with the intelli-
gence of his pupils,-encouraging, rather
than disheartening their efforts, while ad-
herring strictly to the precepts laid down by
the best masters; he will continue as here
tofore to tune Pianos. His prices will be
$40 for twelve lessons of one hour each land
Sc for twelve lessons of half hour each.

upon that territory. The knowledge ol

has been widely and rapidly, difIused
through the agency Of Col. Benton, and

but Of strong hearts and hands inurol tc
toll, who arc laudably ambitious Of sit
ting beneath their own vine and fig trees
and Of making homes fot their owr
wives and children, are casting off tht
incubus Of rent, and are going into tht
new country determined TO elevate them
selves from the position Of renters, inte
the more secure and honorable one o
land owners. Young men, also, whose
pole.stars are farm and a wife, ar'
rushing ia with the speed Of hunters, 70
when they secure the former they viii

A Female CruS0e.

There is now in Santa Barbara, Cali.
fornia great curiosity, it is an Indian
woman. who has lived for eighteen years
alone upon the Island OF Nicholas-a
small island about forty.6ve miles from
that place, during which time she has not
seen the face Of human being. The
island was once inhabited by tribe Of
Indians, to whom the Northwestern
tribes were hostile. To preserve the
remnant Of this tribe from destruction, las
we'll as with a view to christianize them
the Padras induced them TO come TO the
main land eighteen years ago. After
they were all on board the vessel sent
for then, this woman swan ashore TO
look for her child, which had been left;
and storm sprinsing up in the night the
vessel was compelled to put to sea, and
on retur ming, she could not be found
She was known to be alive by those who
at times visited the island for the pu:.
pose Of hunting offers, from the marks,
and from foot prints in the sand.
On being approached the other day
she manifested much joy, which she be-.
trayed by signs Of the most magnificent
character, and at once commenced pack
ing up her few articles Of furniture. Her
clothing consisted Of the skins Of birds
sewod together with the fhfes Of some
trees or plant. Her fsod has been she'll.
fish, seals and o small bulbous root, sim.
liar in appearance to an onion, but
wholly tasteless.-The needles with
which she stitches her garments aremade
Of the sharp bones Of a fish. She had
two hooks made Of bent nail and
sharpened by friction upon q stone. Her
lines were beautifully twisted from the
sinews ofsome animal, probably sPe.
ces Of fox which abound on the ls'

An official on All Saints Day, array.

request OF his wife, called a carriage to
visit the cemeteries. The husband, be il,
promised, knew that his beloved, ere lie
married her was widow. As soon as
they entered the gate OF the said City ol
Silence, a shade Of melancholy passed
over the lady's face. and clinging 10 her
husbands arm, she went 10 tomb, at
which she knelt, and prayed for the 70.

showed for her first love, now sleeping

Soon, however, she knelt before another
tomb, and again uttered touching ori.

deat dead husband" whose holy dust
there found resting place.
The husband thou sht that was little
moro than he had bargaIned for; hut he
said nothing, though grave were his re.

spot which awakened such sad remem.
brances. He had not gone far when his
wife again turned aside, knclt, and then
prayed as before for the reposc Of "dear
dead husbands soLl!" The husband
could stand it no longer, and uttered an
unexcusable and unhusbandly oath,
said: OBJ it, Madame! how many
husbands, in the Lords name, have you
buried?" Ere the accusing spirit had
flown 10 heavens chancery with the oath
the thoughts Of the wife were recalled TO

Flesh Eating and Vegetable Eating.

To consider mau anatomically, he is
decidedly a vegetable eating animal.
He is constructed like no flesh eating
ami nal, but like all vegetable eating
animals. He has not any claws like
the lion, the tiger, or the cat, but his
teeth are short and smooth, like those Of
the horse, the COW, and the fruit eating
animals; and his hand is evidently in.

fellow animals. What animals does

On the contrary, even cats may be
brought up to live on vegetable food SO
that they will not touch any sort Of flesh.
and be quite vigorous and sleek. Such
catswill kill cats and relusethem as food.
Man is naturally vegetable eating
animal: how then could he possibly be
injured by abstinence from flesh! A
