"My <l<-ar Eugene," exclaimed the countess,
" \% ..leoiiie home, b*it tell rttctlio reason of
your unexpected nmval in Prague." ?
Tho countess, introducing ber eon to Emi?
ly said, "Tl??s ir my son, Eugene, my dear
Emily, of whom I have so Mien spoken to
you," and turning to her sod. rhe continued.
""My dear Eugene, you see in this young bidy

feelings of Emily, on' recognizing in the ?>*?
glance tlie son of her benefactress, that young
officer who had rescued ntid saved her life
at the peril of his own, and whose image
had ever since that time been indellibly engraven
on her heart. 1 |
The young count .Do Thumoek, attor the
concluding words of his mother, regarded j
the blushing Emily attentively for a few moments,
mid gallantly addressed her with tiro
following words, " If I am not mistaken,
Mis* Walden, I have once been fortunate
enough to render you some slight service."
44 Vea, your lordship," she replied, having
composed herself. 441 sm the same person
rescued , from such terrible danger, and I look
upon it as a particular favor of heaven. I
am now enabled tn return me llmnl-s Si tlm
son of my benefactress."
"But my dear children," hor ladyship e'xclnimed,
interrupting them, "what does all
this mean ? You appear to know each other
already; explain this riddle to me!"
Her son, agreeable to his toother's wish,
gave her the. whole particulars of his adventure,
and whs highly applauded by the Countess
for saving the life of one so dear to her
?of Emily.
Eugene was a fine specimen of manly
beauty, and also (hvorably known for his
cultivated mind and kind heart, in short, a
young man deserving the love and esteem of
all those vrhq|Jfcnew and appreciated his many
excellent qualities.
The favorable impression Emily had made
on the young count, in thus strangely meeting
together, ripened soon on his part into
the most - ardent affection, and before long
his regiment being now in Prague, he lost
no opportunity in laying regular seige to her
TTuart, and Emily having loved him since the
?r?t moment she saw him. Droved notinvul

of theiiy|?fcniicbangjn<v mutual love o?

Eugene's mother had Jong before Inf*
ticed her son'i growing attachmout nnd wheri
he announced to her hi* wish of soor making
Kinily his wife, it wai evident that she
heard his proposal with pleasure, and joyfully
gave her consent to ifc Thoonly difficulty
yet to surmount was, consent I
of the General, who, the do^pf hi* 'aujE
requiring his presence in Viii$p& the greater']
part of the year, was still absent form hornet
but tfc>waa foarod, that he expected bis at>n
would'form an alliance with a lady, equal hi I
rank and wealth, the latter tnoTe particular- |
ly,as the old Generality*! external elegance
and splendor.
not this objection, providence in its in- {
crutable ways, had dwtined to remove from
the path of JSqiily'a happiness. It was about
time, that MW. J)c Waldon received an j
uffjoki letter from the dhthoriiiea of Trieste, |
her native place, acquainting her with the
death of hftrunoh*, without heir*, one of tinrichest
merchants of thAt place, and that on

| A, Correspondent of the Detroit Free Press
i gives some interesting anecdotes of the great1
Indian ivurrinr and nrOidiAt_ Tccimiseh '? !
While the enemy wasiu full possession j
, of the country around Monroe ami Detroit,,
j Tecumseh, with a lar^e hand of his warriors,!
visited the River Raisin. The inhabitants
along that river had been stripped of nearly
every means of subsistence. OKI Mr. Rivard,
(a Frenchman,) who was lame, and unable j
by bis labor to procure a living for himself;
and family, bad contrived to keep out of sight'
of die wandering bands of savages a pair of!
oxeu,.vitb which bis son was able to procure j
a scauty support for the .family. It so hap- \
pened tilst, wliilo at labor with the oxen , j
Tecumseh, who had come over from Maiden,
met bira in the road, and, walking up'
to him, said?
"My friend, I must have those oxen. My
young men arc very hungry, ami they have
nothing to .eat. We must have the oxen."
Young Rivard remonstrated. He told the
j chief that, if ho took the oxen, his Hither
would stnrv 'o death.
"Well," said Tecumseh, "we are the con[
querors, and everything we want is ours. I
| must have the oxen ; my people must not
j starve; but I w ill not l>e mean and rob yon j
| of them. I will pay you oue huudreds dol-,
! lars for them, and that is far more than they
! are worth, but we must bavc them."
Tecumseh got a white man to write an
order on the British Indian agent. Col. Elliott,
who was on the river some distance bei
low, for the money. Tho oxen were killed,
| Urge fires built, ami the forc?t warriors were]
; *0011 feasting on their flesh.
took tho order to Col. Ellii^J,
who promptly refused to pay it, saving?
"Wakie entitled to r.ur support from the
country wo have conquered. I will not pay !
it." j.
The.youiig irinn, with a aorrowiui h<#i,1
returned with the answer to Tec nine eh, who'
said?
"To-morrow we will go and see."
the morning, he took young 'Jlivnrd,;
and went b> *ee the colonel. On meeting
hiin, he dnul?*
"l>o you refuse to pay for the oxen 1.
bougu.rT .J
"iea, said the colonel; and he reiterated |
the reaflH for refusal.
"I bought them," said the chief, "for my |
[ yonng men, who wore very hungry. I nrotn- j
ixtd to pay for tlieni, and they shoU \& paid
| for. I have always heorr*. that white nations
went to war with each other, nnd not with:
peaceful individuals; thr.t they did notJrolC
and. plunder poor people, I will not."
"Well," said the oolvnel,. "I will not pay j
for them."
"You can do as you please," said thocheif,
"hut before Teen inseh and his warriors came
to light five battles of tho great king, they
had euough to eat, for whicu they had oply
to thank the Master of Life and their good
rifles. Their hunting ground* supplied tnetn
w?lh food enough; to thettiebfy can ntuin."
- This threat produced a sudden chartgerh '

Nations are seen rising in tiro distance'
from insignificant colonies, or, prviously, un- '
important positions, into respectability and ;
massive grandeur and proportion*. 'J'heir !
progress is marked by strange aud startling i
events, diirk and bloody wars, horrid and in- I
human crimes. Some of them stand out for !
many centuries raising the proud columns of I
their greatness for the admiration of their !
own times, and for perpetual remembrance j
in after Jiges of u hat they once had been, j
We follow theft) in their early struggles, their j
subsequent triumphs in the noontide, of glory,!
hailing the arts, and fostering public spirit, |
and blending vast territories and myriails of i
population into order, symmetry, and invinc-1
ible power, But, after a long course of years, j
when corrupted by luxury, tyranny nnd immorality,
wo behoid their bulwark? of:
strength giving way. one after another, we
see their virtue* transformed into vices, till
their suns go down at last amidst clouds to
rise ami shed their light upon the world no
more. Subsequent ages, however, can proGt
by all tjio advantages afforded by their pre-'
cept and example. They ean study, with
much benefit, the character and writings of
Cicero, the ornament and admiration of
Homo-?of Leonidas, the self'immolated.Ore- ,
cian patriot?of Socrates, the philosopher,
whose pious fortitude and sublime resigna-1
tion to Providence sustained him t6 the Inst I
extremity?of those monsters, of- tyranny and
guilt, whose cruel ambition and enormous
crimes, so productive of human wretchedness,
have given an immortality, of infamy to
their names. These lessons excite admiration
of true greatness and virtue in the youth
ful mind, or fill it with detestation of vice
ami crime.
Society, in its rudest state, and when uature
and art are blended to display the beau
ties of lheir rival charms?the one, in its
savage ignorance, haunted with superstition
aud tainted with every crime of Barbarian
ferocity?the other, blessed with civilization 1
and smiling with peaceful morality and art,
reposing in security under wise governments i
and prospering fa whatever conduces to hu- I
man happiness?are spread before us, on
the storied page, that we may profit by the ,
experience, example and improvement* of,
long ages of the past. What abundant ma- j
terials our American forefathers had before '
thcip from which to rear the noble and sub-1
lime fabric of our National Oovernrnent! !
I low wisetv did they use them, to establish :
liberty upon a basis where it would remain j
unshaken by the violence of anarchy and un- ]
profaned by the encroachments of tyrants.
ft is said that History was a turorite study i
of tIhj elegant Cicero. iJernosthenes uttered ,
the tnost startling 61 patriotic thunders of his
eloquence iu tracing the tyrannic tendencies
^?'hilip of Nfacedon, by comparing his actions
Willi those of tyrants who had preceded
him. Tho element Cesar was himself an
accomplished historian. The great bcipio
secured the presence and aid of polybi.us,

which wreathe such unfading laurel* around
his bm|MMd added *o much to the martini

insinuate that it will apply to our latitude ;
of courte not. It is only given as an index
of Northern manners:
u\Yliat has become of all the Utile girls
no\v-a-c!ay?? One sees plenty of miniature
young ladies, w ith basque waists and flounces,
dress hats, and tiny watches, promenading
the street*, or attending juvenile parties;
but, alas ! a little girl is a rarity?one who.
will play baby-lmuse, and live a life-time in
an hour, making day aud night succeed each
other with ustoiiishing rapidity, a fifteen minutes'
recess at school affording plenty of time
for weeks of play house life ; one to.wiiom a

the pcifeclion of school dies*?avlhbonnets
that will not be iujured ifthey arewet in river
or brook, and aprons strong enough to
bring home any quantity of nuts froin the
woods, in lieu of baskets ; good strong shoes
that will eonie oft' wiih case on a warm sum- j
liter's day, when the cool brook tempt* the
warm little feet to lave themselves in its waters,
instead of delicate gaiters, which shrink
from such rude treatment. /
"Well Lit is to bo hoped the race of little
girls will not become utterly extinct.. There y
must be some 'wasting their sweetness upon,
the desert air,' for surely they no} in
our cities, and out rarely in our villages.
"At an ago when littlo girls used to be ;*
dressing dolls, we now see them decked in .
all their finery, parading stress, and * flirting
with young students. Where on earth
are the mother? of these precious flirts ? Are
they willing to allow such folly 1 ,,
"Then its to dress?why, little miss must
now be dressed as richly as mamma ; and the
wonder is, how will she be able to outvie ber
present splendor wheu she 'cornea out.' Hut
m this go abend age, some new inventions
will enable her t<> accomplish bar"desire.
