How oft I've thought, and mourned to think I
' - Times alnt as they was uster,
Whan people went to bed at dark,
_ - - .. And got up with the rooster.
THoae days of old woro glorious Jays,
For fasl lion didn't rule us;
And when the fellers spark'd the gals,
We had no ftj^r they'd fool us.
And in those plain, old faohion'd times,
nil i i_?j r iL :_

The girls assisted their mammas,
; And never put on paddies,
Tho boj>B tried then by work to learn,
And gain some useful knowledge ;
While now, as soon ns lliey are grown.
They must be sunt to collcge.
And then, when you'd sco the gals.
At work you'd surely find 'em?
Their dress was plain?n linsey coat,
And aprons tied behind 'om.
But now tho gala liavt sadly chang'd
From what they were of yore ;
A bustle now they stick behind ;

"-J",*..
Brick housos thou were seldom built,
And log ones seldom painted ;
The girls they didn't dress so fine,
And lace up till they fainted.
And when the girls got married then,
They married not for riches ;
They lov'd their husbands as they should,
And never wore the breeches.
The parents they no matches made,
The girls did their own choosin' ;
And when they went to church at night,
They always put thick shoea on.
A cradtfe then was never used?
The women wouldn't ask it;
The baby when it wished to 6leepf
Was laid down in a basket.

Indian Outrage and Murder.

/ffandly andgood natured, and no difficulty
Cr hfllwpon them and any
of {he'settlers, nor was any provocation
givenby-thesettlers for the outrage which
tbe'Iiidfans subsequently committed. In
the afternoon, about 3 o'clock, Major Bussell
went over to see his neighbor, Mr. Bar*
S?jf, who lived about 300 yards sooth of
hiin* and who was in the field, about 500
yAitls from the Bussell's house and 300 |
hundred from Barker's. I

the most friendly manner. Russell and 1
Barker were standing together m the field 1
talking, when they were fired upon by 1
these four Indians, and Russell was wounded
by three balls in the left arm, and, also, 1
in the abdomen, which was grazed by two 1
balls. Immediately after the fire the Indi- I
ans broke from their cover, about 40 rods j4
off, and ran towards them. Barker ran in
onedlfcction and Russell in another. Tho Indiansall

edition with their knives. Russell in the j1
meantime ran to the house of Mr. Gottis', i1
(tho Indians being between him and his \'
own house.) Gottis* house was about half a j1
wnii!- sooth of Russell's and immediately on !1
the shore of the Lagoon of Indian River or 1
8t Lucie Sound, as were also Russell's and
Barker's; there he found Gottis, Mr. Na- j
arrOj Mr. Bray ton, and a young man '
named Tombs. They had no guns in or- '
der, and accordingly all of them put off iin- !
mediately in two boats on the sound, and 1
about the same time they saw Russell's !

landing in their boats. After the two boats '
? which Rassell and Gottis and others were 1
had got about 40 yards from the shore, tho I
Indians commenced firing at them, and continned
to fire at them until they were out of
gUMfeolL When they went to Gottis* house
and set fire to that and burned it They
then tihept to the houses of Barker and Rus- *
sell, atodplundered and sacked them, doing i
much (Ujmagti as it afterwards appeared, <
from mere wantonness, by destroying and I
breaking , end tearing the property, and <
alsgi carrjed off some. The families of '
Ba^^JMpLftuaseU had, in the meantime, t

Barker's family. ^ r

The parly in the sail boat then weighed t
anchor and the next morning early crossed i
tho Bar and put out to sea on their way to <
St. Augustine, and arrived there on the i
18th early, having stopped in the meantime i
at Cape Canaveral light house to get water,
where thev found a little daughter of Mr.
ficenll'e n limit 1 nr 13 vpnr.9 old and fiiirht I
of his negroes, who had got separated from
the rest of the family and had come up all
the beach on foot, a distance of about 60
miles or more. .. < .
The number of person* which Came to
St. Augusliuc in this sail boat, of 4 1-2 tc J
burthen, was 27 in all including women a
children.
From their report it is probable that aj
the settlements in St. Lucie county ar
abandoned by this time. ,
They all concur in saying that only four j
or five Indians were seen or heard of in the
settlement on the 12th inst. when this out '
rnge was committed, but, Major Russell '
und others of them are of the opinion from
the amount of property carried off from his
house, nnd from other circnmstanees that
there were more than the four about there.
There, had been no difficulty or quarrel
between the Indians and the settlers there
as they say and no provocation, whatever.j
tending to such a result. The act seems '"/j
have been ono of mere savage wanton"*"'
and cruelly. rtnd?T

and sufluriug much from his "'?Ja speedy j t

hunting towards civilization. Then
the 6^'/ifliturage of animals, and lastly,
culture of the soii. The planting '

s.md and mud left by the inundation of riv- s
rrs. Hence, Sir Isaac Newton and o'.hers 1
have considered that corn was first cuhiva. v
led on the banks of the Nile. c
Be these learned suppositions as they =
may, it is certain that in the remotest periud
uf antiquity to which the knowledge of r
man extends, the science of agriculture .
was practised and esteemed by the wise, 1
the great, and the mighty of the iand. We 1
iro informed by the sacred scriptures that J
God sent Adam forth from the garden of g
Eden to till the ground. " Cuia was a til- s
ler of the eanh." Noah began to fcs a "
husbandman, and planted a vineyard. A- t,
brabam purchased the field of oiacphela. p

of his little fields. Herodotes, the
father of historians, tells us that the soil of
ancient Bubylon was so rich and well cultivated,
that it produced two or three hundred
fold. Xenophen says that Cyrus, the wisest : "I
and best of ancient monarch.", distributed
premiums with his own hands, to diligent ?
cultivators of the soil.
The invention of manures was so highly
esteemed by the ancients, that Pliny ascrihes
it to AllfTnilC n Hroi'lon Ir'.nrr <! >. I

bund at his plow, when called to the Dictatorship
of Rome. The Emperor of China,
by an immemorial usage of his 44 Celestial
Empire," is required annually to go
into the fields, with all the high dignitary
