Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel lent publication, the “ Casket,” I assure you, meets from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year, ) Would be worth the trifling expense of the subscrip tion; those representing the Capitol, at Harrishuig, Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N.

Perhaps,-some folks may think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for tho gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will readily allow* that my remarks are just.—I am, gen tlemen, gratefully, yours, .

His amusements and his Wupations soon become more manly—cartess of the biscacheros (the holes of an anoal .called the blscacho) which undermine/he plains, and which are very dangerous,gallops after the ostrich, the gaqm, Ok lion, and the tiger; he catches balls ; he daily assists in and in dragging the slaughter, pr.tij the have; is oftenr-vj changir is tired, and his constant food stituhou is so strenghhat«ti«j dure grc<u &t*4;ue ;.and the distant ride, and the numberiof hours that he wj$| remain on horseback, would hardly be credited^ 1 * The unrestrained freedom of such a life he fully, appreciates ; and unac quainted with 'subjection of any sort, his mind is often filled with sentiments of liber* ty which are as noble as they are harmless^ although they of course partake of the’ wild habits of his life. Vain is the endeavour t.M- to explain to him the luxuries and blessings of a more civ'lized life; his ideas are that the noblest effort of man is to raise himself off the ground, and ride instead of walk—J- that no rich garments or variety of? food oafi atone for the want of a hor.;e—andjthe print of the human foot on the growfcl is in his mind the.symbol of uncivilization. “ The Gaucho has by many people beeii accused of indolence ; those who visit his hut find him at the dodr with his arms fold. ed, and his poncho thrown over his left shoulder like a Spanish cloak; his hut is in holes, and would evidently be made more comfortable by a few hours’ labour: in a beautiful climate, he is without fruit dr vege tables; surrounded by cattle, he is often without milk; he lives without bread, and he has no food but beef and water, and therefore those who contrast his life witfi that of the English peasant accuse him of indolence ; but the comparison is inapplica ble, and the accusation unjust; and any one who will live^with the Gaucho, and will follow him through hig exertions, will find that he is any thing but indolent, and his surprise will be that he is able to continue a life of such fatigue. It is *rue that the Gaucho has no luxuries, but the great fea ture of his character is, that he is a person without wants: accustomed constantly to ' live_ in the open air, and to sleep on the ground, he does not consider that a few holes in his hut deprive it of its comfort. It is not that he does not like the taste of milk ; but he prefers being without it to the every day occupation of going id search of it. He might, it is true, make cheese, and sell it for money, but if he has got a good saddle and good spurs, he does uot consider that money has much Value : in fact he is con tented with his lot; and when one reflects that, in the increasing series of human luxu ries, there is no point that produces con tentment, one cannot but feel that there is perhaps as much philosophy as folly in the Gauchcrs determination to exast without wants; and the life he leads is certainly more noble than JjT ISteilas slaying from morning till nijjbVtQ. get other fbpd for his body, brother garments to cover it. ' It is true he is of fettle servicetothe great cause of^v11izarioii,vwhich jf is the duty of every rational befj^t^'jfqpote; but a humble i > ; i 1 n i; : 1\ bflhself in a boundless plain, cannot' introduce into the vast unin- ' ' * regions which surround him. either arts or scie'nc^f he may, therefore without Maine he permitted to leave them as he found them, and as they must remain, until population, which w ili create wants, devises the means of supplying them. The character of the Gaucho is‘often very estimable is &lways bospitaliTe—-at his hut the traveller will aiwAya find a f /
