THE SORROWS OF OSEWANCA.
“ Lo, the poor Indian ! whose untutored mind
Sees God in clouds, ur hears him in the wind.”
Two of the tribe of stood upon the crag
which overhung a hold and dashing stream ; so far
above the river towered this rock, that the impo-
tuous roll of its will era seemed like the whisper
ings of a little brook. An Indian girl was one of
that peculiar style cf beauty, belonging only to the
(liiughiors of the woodbind, ller straight black
hair fell in glossy negligence over her pittily-
draped breast, nml that swelling bust, dark roving
eye and ripe lip would have inspired Ihe non of
the pool, or the pencil of a Raphael. She leaned
against a projecting crag with one of her diminu
tive feet crossed upon the other, while she uncon
sciously picked to pieces, between her tapering
lingers, u wild (lower, casting ever and anon
anxious and inquiring glances towards Iter com
panion. Tottsouliii [Bending Lily) was the only
daughter ol an illustrious warrior, and the young
wife of Osewanca, the pride of his people, and
the mightiest war-chief of his tribo.
Odewanca was ti tall, powerful looking savage,
decked in all the simple littery and gewgaws ol an
Indian prince; a plume of eagle's feathers drooped
from his scalp lock, and a collar of bear’s claws
encircled his neck ; a panther-skin worked with
various devices, which had fallen at his feet,dis
played a keen edged sctilping-knile and tomahawk
nt his girdlo. In his hand lie held a long, unerr
ing ntle, upon which he occnssioually rested, lie
was, evidently, in contemplation of something for
eign to his Invor. For some moments he would
lix his eyes on Tonsoulia, full of a lover’s tender
ness und admiration; then looking down on
the plain buneuth, would scan the few scat
tered wigwams of his people, on tho opposite
bank; his glance then wandored where two regi
ments of U. S. troops were stationed to escort
their red brethren further west, and at such mo
ments his knife was half unsheathed,and, advanc
ing with a quick step to the verge of the rock,
seeintd ns if ho would leap the river into the midst
ol its foes; gazing down on tlie furious waters
seemed to sympathize and sooth his own restless
soul.
Such outbursts of feeling aro not often found
in the Indian, who Iiuk been taught stoicism from
his birth, und Tonsoulia, regarded with surprise
ana trembling the violent emotions nl her husband
After a few moments of silence, unbroken suvi
by the sounds of Nature, she ventured in a singu
latly melodious voice to nddresn her husband in
the figurative language of hor nation :
“There is a darkness upon the brow of my
chief, like tho storm cloud which hides tho sun.—
His voice was once as the morning lark’s, his step
fleet as the mountain dou, his smile us the moon
peeping from a cloud—they arc gone ! Is the
heart of the warrior so heavy that lie has ceased
to love his bride 7 If Osewanca has sorrows,
where should ho whisper them hut in tho ear ol
Tonsoulia ? Does not the panther and the tiger
neck its mate in tumble / Then let the warrior
speak, (hut Ins wife limy share his grief.”
She walked uplolhe Indian, who had remained
like it still tic, apparently imlifl'erent lo her address,
yet not a word escaped him. She raised heroyes
to Ins ; he smiled on her.
“ The words ol the Mending Lilly,” said he, in
a gull in al hut not unmusical tone, u lull upon tlte
our like tho murmuring of joyous rivulets. 1 lor
hrenlh ia us sweet us the prairie flower, and it
calms the breast of Osewanca. His heart is full,
his brow dark, but ho loves Tousoulia. When
the moon shines not upon tho red man, when the
mighty rivers change their course, then will Ose
wanca cease to love tho fairest flower of tho field
—the Bending Lily und ho threw u hall-ardent,
hnll reproachful glance upon tho bright face be
side him.
“ Then, what hangs so sadly on his mind ? His
voice is doleful us the cry of the panther ut night.
Is his path dark—has he lost a trail ? Why is lie
bewildered, like the frightened doer 7 * She fol
lowed his glance. '• True, the pale face has mad“
his wigwam on lira home of the red mutt; but,
surely, Osewanca does not fear?”
Osewanca knows no fear I” inlcrrruptctl the
Indian proudly.
“ Then why does he not call his bravos—has ho
not tho strength of it panther and tho cunning of
a fox 7 Why does ho not call his braves 7”
“ Listen, iliort, Tonsoulia/' commenced tho
chief, in a solemn voice; many times have the
trees dropped their leaves, and tho flowers wilted ;
many times have tin* hunting grounds been robed
in white since tho whites eamo unung us; they
wore low then—weak as the twigs of yonder hush
—now, us many as tin* forest trees, und as mighty.
They were ignorant, for they knew not the foot
prints of a man from the trail of a bison
loot could not keep with the Indians; they were tired
infants ; the ‘savage’ shared with lira pule face his
robe of skint, his corn, his game, and could have
Joyed him as a brother; hot the slimy addcrwhich
creeps silently along the long wavering grass lo
sting the hand winch would cull lira flower, is not
more treacherous than lie. Since they slept in our
wigwams, the tribes have been sinking like a sun
that is to rise never more.
“Their large canoes brought from across the
big waters many people of their nation; they drove
the Indian from Ins home; they planted corn over
the dead bodies of our dead warriors, and turned
up their altered bones to the light of day; then
bade us he ‘Christians'—gave us a book written
by (iod; u hook to tell of ilia greatness und pow
er ! Do the noble warriors of the nation want
such proof? No; the winds rush among the trees
nud tear them by the roots; the darting fire and
the Great Spirit’s voice, which the while man
calls* thunder,' roll along tho skies ; lira wutors
leap their hounds ; the red chief looks upon those
nnd m affrighted, lor in drain ho beholds the power
of tho Mighty One. When the sun shines, and the
flowers blossom, iho (ircat Spirit sheds tears of
joy ; they hill glimmering in the sunlight, and are
dew upon the flowerets! Cannot tho Indian see
Ins gooiitrss here? Ti e children of tlte dark
skin need no parchments to tell them what their
eyes see, or (heir ears hear; it is enough if they
understand what they know. If their Bible touches
tnun lo be good, surely they hud boat read it, for
their souls are black and (heir tongues forked —
They whispored words sweet as flowing honey '
the ear of the simple Indian; he in an evil hour
listened, the sage became a child,nud his lands
were gone.
“ Many moons have turned pale since my braves
dug up the war-hatehei; many scalps dry in our
wig-wums, while the prairie wolf fallens on the
forms ol the slain. Our torch hath (ired settle
ments, and, ero the pale face awakened from his
dreams, the keen, cool steel of tho tomahawk hath
quivered in his brain; the soft, curling iresrasuf
his wife und child hung recking at our belts'.”
As the Indian hissed these last words, the veins
of his forehead seemed bursting: his face assumed
a most demoniac expression, his nostrils dilated,
and Ilia eyoballs glowed malignly. lie waa eveyr
particle the savage.
“ Bui the while man was too strong ; Ira hath
weapons which, like the fltshings of tho (ircat
Spirit’s eye, will reud the knotted oak or split the
rock. They are fatal. Not a tree of yonder wood
but its branches shade tho form of a sleeping brave.
The winds ut eve sing a plaintive death-song amid
the trees, while the unseen spirits of the late de
parted wail over tho misfortunes of the red Indian.
(Jti, I oulousiu ! we mto passing away, even an
the snow melts benesth the iay of the noonday
sun. The fall ol my people gnaws at my heart
—1 feel it thero. A lew moons will rise and set,
ami I shall he gone. Weep thou not,gentle Lily,
the chieftain* sl iin in lira lust battle are wailing
mo to join them; the hunting grounds of tho bless
ed arc for us; then will 1 chase the gameovortho
sjlt mountains of eternal green, and ride the crys
tal Htreainleiin tny bark canoe; then shall the
children of the dark wood bo happy evermore.”
The Indian wile, with a tear trembling in eith
er eye, looked fondly on the chief, whose form
was drawn up to its fullest height, w’hile his ani
mated face stid sparkling eye bespoko the pleasure
this picture of his simple heaven gave him,
“ He asks no angel’s wing, no Boraph's fire.”
“ You would not leave Tonsoulia 7” asked
she,encircling with her arms his brawny nock.
“ No, lender flower!” ho cried; “ the rough
storm would soon snap the life-stem of tho fragile
Lily, and she would meet her Indian lover in the
far-off lands.” He drew his urms around her, and
pressod his burning lips to her forehead. “Iain
is the sturdy oak,” oontinued he, “and you the
rumbling ivy which cling lo it; while I live, my
ipreading arms shall protect you. But when Ihe
oak falls, the ivy which isentwined in its branches
shall also be rent to its roots and tho gigantic
oak and the liny ivy shall decay oven as they
bloomed in life—together 1”
A gloom overspread his face. “ Joy of my
soul! wo must quit thin stream, these hills ; wo
must leave the bowers and glens of our childhood,
they no longer afford us a home. Of all that re
main of a powerful nation, look lltere ! lira ene
my could hold it in the palm of tho hand. On
yonder hank are there braves ami warriors. They
a cataract, and wo a straw in its vortox ;
they say we must travel towards the setting sun.
The moccasin is worn, and the limbs of the Indian
weary, but lie will go; then will the sun of the tribe
set; the names of tlte mighty chieftains will bo
fables, and their decdn stories to children. Dost
ask why my brow is lowering,and my heart big?
—why I do not call my braves ? I yell! tny voice
is replied lo by its echo; my war-whoop that
could unco call a thousand painted warriors at my
side, ritalics through the forest ai d dioB&wny in
some lotto dismal swamp.”
Drawing around his form the panther robe, he
bowed his head in its folds; his frame quivered
with grief; tears ! yes, tears fell upon the robe; tho
hcrool many a midnight massacre, in tears! T
simple, untaught Indian weeping for his race !
Hide them not, oh man 1 they arc gums from the
base metal of thy nature; they do not betoken a
weak mind, but a noble heart susceptible to the
purest of feelings.

feeling the teU-tnlo blood mount up lo Hie troum

to do, was to give tho fellow a word in scarori-
“If you are asked to a small tea-party, ypu will
find, on entering the room, that oppnsito c veri tem
plate there is a litllo round saucer set dflwn.—
You will also perceive, if you u»c your eyes, ft

tea-spoons, standing in the middle of lira table.
You are a at ranger. You came from the old
country. You are asked to take some preserves,
or somo jam. You take some, and in old country
fashion, you pat it in your plate, and then, as you
want it, you spread your bread with it. Here is
another blunder. You should, yon 'stoopid, you,
have put (lip jelly in that little round saucer--
havo taken a spoon in that long-ueckcd jug, and
have supped it. Don’t you sec all the young la
dies supping it up by aancerfulls, and don t you
see the young gentlemen doing tho satno, and un
less you want to appear singular, you too must do
the samo.
••If you walk into a hotel, you will find there is
a little room fitted up with marble basins for watli-
ing your bands. There aro five or six in ft row.
Opposite, and nailed to tho wall, you will seo a
mirror. Beside it, and chained to tho wall, you
will find a comb nnd brush. If yon go in, and
wait for a fuw minutes, you will see evory man
who enters, comb and brush his hair with that
comb and brush, chained there pro born publico.
They aro not very particular, you seo. 1 believo
if thero was a tooth brush also, that they would
all brush their teeth with it.
“At parties, the ladies wear little jaunty aprons
of colored silk. There arc two little pockflt* to
them, trimmed with lace or gay ribbands. Out of
one pocket peops a beautiful and costly handker
chief, while out of the othor peeps a bunch of
flowers, giving the wearer a most coquettish ap
pearance, which, to borrow tho words of a friend
of mine, ‘comes round one’s heart-atrings bo.’
They do no; dress much in white muslin, or oth
er thin materials. Silks and satins, of the gay
est kinds, are worn. Their extravagance js pro
digious. Hero money is made quick and spout as
quickly. I could scarcely Iralieve my eyes^htm

and twisted—light gloves and lovely light bouts—

unless n be i’aris, whore tho women dress tltora-
selves up as they do hero. They live for dress,
and their whole aim is vanity, addod to (Ira
desire to get married. The natural consequence
is, that they make poor wives, nnd still poorer
mothers; neither mind nor body being adapted
for tho ono or the other. A very few years, and
they Iopc their good looks, ami become misorably,
prematurely old. I never in my life saw such
puny children as tho children of American pa
rents. This is no exageration. I attribute it to
various causes. Their houses, in the wintpr aro
healed with hot air, which makes them like ovens.
They livo loo high. Their fond is too rich and
over cooked. They over dress themaolvos, using
great quantities of cosmetics, perfumes, and such
tilings. Their climate is bad. It has too many
and too great extremes. Ileal, cold, and wot.
From these causes there is a groat amount •-1

A Scotchman’* View* of New York Bocioty.
Wc have boon much amused in|reading tho
the following private leltor from a young Scotch
man in New York to his friends in lOdinborough.
It appears in an Edinborotigh paper:
“I dure say,” begins the young gentleman, “I
shall enlighten you a little upon the manner in
which ‘New-Year’s’ (so they call it) is spent in
America. On this day, quite the contrary to our
custom, no Itnly leaves her house. Thero is no
lady seen walking through tho streets on that
day. They all slay at homo, and hold a sort of
Ic.vre, to recolvo visits from their gonlloinen friends.
The gentlemen may, if they choose, make no
calls, but il they make but one call, they must
call on all whom they intend to bo friendly with
for that year. Such of their friends us aro not
culled on, look on this neglect as a positivo slight.
The ladies of the house lay out their tables about
nine o’clock in tho morning. Thoy have a sort of
lunch, such as bread, wine, cako, fruit, and per
haps some fowl and ham. They then, dressed in
their best, sit down to receive visitors, and there
they sit till night and nine o’clock, so their post is
no sinecure. They all wear white kid gloves.
Home families will receive as many as two hun
dred to two hundred and fifty visitors on that day.
They generally write down their names, to see
who has had moat callers. It is not unusual for
one gentleman to make from eighty to one hun
dred visits on that day. lie will call on a family,
run up stairs, pop his head in, say a qood Now
Year to the ladies—kiss thorn, if he likes, or if
lie can, for this Ira is privileged lo do—leave his
card, and then of!’ like ti shot to go over the
mine at his next friend’s. A gentleman may visit
any lady whom ho has but spoken to once, or
met onco any where. If she desires to seo him
again, she says she will ho happy to see him any
evening he may have to spare, hut if shodoos not
ask him to repeat his visit, ho then understands
that that door is shut. Home of tho gonlloinen
got considerably ‘slowed’ by tho time they are
done visiting, and no wonder if you take into ac
count the continual tasting.
‘•Now, to tell you of somo of the queor thing*
ono see.! and hears in this queer country. Ono
of the most foreign-looking sights to a stranger
is the appearance which the churches present
during sorvico, especially if tho day bo hot. Ev
ery lady has her fan, which she brings with her,
or more generally keeps lying in her pew. What
a funny sight. There they sit, young girls and
young ladies, newly married and old married la
dies, black ladies and white ladies, fanning away
as if their very livos depended on their never
ceasing. In front of the minister, on this side
and on that, tip in the front of the galleries, nnd
back in the galleries, there they go, fan, fan, fan.
There are fans of paper, fans of grass, fans of
ivory, fans of leathers, fans of every thing.—
There they go, those who have no fans using their
prayer-books or Bibles, fan, fan, fan. Arms mov
ing and heads keeping time, flutter, flutter—ono
fan, two fans, three fans—fans innumerable.—
Oh ! dear! I surely i* ho*. Another peculiarity
connected with their churches, is that of the gen
tlemen always rising up and leaving tho pew to
lot a Isdy enter. A lady, indeed, when she reach
es her pew, nevor thinks o( going in till all tho
gentlemen first step out. In she goes, and in the
obsequious gentlemen after, only to repeat tho
performance in three tninutos, when another lady
cumes in. 1 have often seen five gentlemen have
to got up und get out. I was myself a victim to
this practice. Last Sabbath I went ovoi to New
York to hoar Dr. Spring preach. I could not find
the duor-keoper lo show me to a seal, so I entered
a vacant pow on chance, and sat up at the head
of it, as wedo in Scotland. Presently the church
door opened and in walked a lady marshalled bv
tny friend the door-keeper. Up they marched till
thoy caino to my pew, when ho, opening the di
beckoned tome with his finger to come out. 1
fortunately fi r mo I was reading a hymn
time, and was so engagod that I did not al first
see tho telegraphic signal, so that there sat I com-
Un-
countries.
“There is another custom poculiar to American
ladies which 1 must mention. When a lady is
nvited to a tea-party, or bail, it ia understood, sho
goes accompanied by a gentleman. If she has
110 brother, or if oho prefer* hor boixu inmonJ, ohw
writes a note to him, asking him lo accompany
her to So-and-so’s party. lie accents, and calls
for her with a carriage, unless the distance they
have to go is short. On arriving at the house, tho
lady introduces tho gentleman. This is the cus-
ton of oven the highest society. Owing to this,
few gentlemen are invited, except such as Ikey
particularly wish to (make sure 4 of. In, dress
ing for those parties, tho American lady uses a
while powdor which she rubs upon hor forehead
and othor parts of her face, upon her nock and
upon her arura. It is rubbed on with a littlo bit of
flannel. This gives the skin an appearance ol
dazzling brilliancy, beautifully clear and white.
They make no secret of using it, bringing their
powder box with them, and putting il on just be
fore ontering tho room where tTioao gentlemen
are, for whom, and in the hope of captivating
wlrain, tlray thus consent to follow a practice ru
inous to their health and constitution, adding to
tlra present, but taking from ihe future, beauty of
thoir looks. It is said that thoy look shocking
hail when seen in lira morulng after an ovoning’s
powdoring.
“There aro a great many things I intended tol
ling you of, hut they must be postponed ; such,
for instance, as my saying to a young lady, that
sho was more fleshy than when I saw her last.
Yot that is tho word they uso for our word ‘atout.’
“Scotchmen are great favorites hero. Thoy
bear a high character. Yon find thorn ovary
xvhorc. Many of tlra most influential und richest
men in New York aro Scotch. Tho mqrol Beo
and tho longer I live, tlra stronger become* my

It seems that in Boston tho American
public do not countonanco the clergy if they at
tend concerts. Now, many of the clergy wanted
to hear M'me Sontag, and M’me Sontag, like a
good lady-like creature, as sho is, wanted to be
heard by the clergv. How was this to be man
aged? How should the Gorman night.ngalo trill
and jug-jug to tho church black birds? Why*
Madame invited thorn all lo a rehearsal; arid ihe
casuists went. The iniquity, it seotn, is in the
real concert; but there can be no siu in tbe re
hearsal of tlra wickedness.—Punok.
