It was in the country of the Winneba goes, anil there was a great scarcity of game. An Indian hunter, while returning from an unsuccessful expedition, at the sunset hour, chanced to discover in the top >f a tree a large white owl. lie knew that the flesh of this bird was not palatable to the taste, but, as lie thought of his wife and children, who had been without food for several days, he concluded to bend his bow and kill the bird. Hardly had he come to this determination, before he was astonished to hear the owl speaking to him in the following strain: ‘-You arc a very foolish hunter. You know it is against the laws of your nation to kill any of my tribe; and why should you do wrong be cause you happen to be a little hungry ? 1 know that your wife and children are also hungry, hut that is not a good reason for depriving me of life. I too have a wife and several children, and their home is in the hollow of an old tree. When I left them a little while ago, they were quite as hungry as you air, and I am now trying to obtain for their enjoyment a red squirrel or a young opossum. Unlike you, 1 have to hunt for my game only at night; and if you will go away and not injure me, I may have it in my power to do you a kindness at some future time.” The Indian hunter was convinced, and he unbent his bow. lie returned to his wigwam, and after he had told his wife what had happened to him, she told him she was not sorry, for she had been par ticularly fortunate in gathering berries.— And then the Indian and his family ware contented, and game soon afterwards be came abundant in the land. Many seasons had passed away, and the powerful nation of the Iroquois were making war upon the Winnebagocs. The hunter already mentioned had become a successful warrior and a chief. He was a mark for his enemies, and the bravest among them started upon the war-path for the express purpose of effecting his de struction. They hunted him as the)’ would the panther, but he always avoided their arrows. Many days of fatigue had he now endured, and, believing that his ene mies had given up the chase, he stopped, on a certain evening, to rest himself, and enjoy a repast of roots. After this com fortless supper was ended, he wrapped him self in hie skins, and thought that he would lie down and enjoy a little sleep. He did so, and the Qnly sounds which broke the stillness of the air, were caused by the falling of the daw from, the leaves, and the whistling of the whip-poor-will. It was now past midnight, and the Winneba go was yet undisturbed. A whoop is heard in the forest, but so remote from his grassy couch as not to be heard by the unconscious sleeper. But what can this shouting mean! A party of Iroquois war riors have fallen upon the trail ot their en emy, and are in hot pursuit. But still the Winnebago warrior is in the midst of a pleasant dream. On come bis enemies, and his death is inevitable. The shouting of the Iroquois is now distinct and clear, lniti n the twinkling of an eye it is swal lowed up in a much louder and more dis mal shriek, which startled the Winnebago to bis feet. lie is astonished, and wonders whence comes the noise, lie looks up ward, and lo! perched upon one ol the branches of the tree under which be had been resting, the form of a large white owl. It rolls its large yellow eyes upon him, and tells him that an enemy is on his trail, and that he must flee for his life. And that is the way in which the while owl manifest ed its gratitude to the Winnebago hunter for his kindness in sparing its own life many years before. And since that time, the owl has ever been considered a very good and wise bird, and when it perches above the wigwam, of the red man, it is al ways safe from harm. JELLIES FOIt THE SICK.

AN UNKNOWN LAND. The English have recently made a set tlement at Aden, near the Red Sea. llav , ing once obtained a foothold, they, Eng lish like, began to push about them, and one of their first discoveries was a river | where none was marked upon any chart, j and upon this they steamed 300 miles i without finding the least obstruction.—• Having now passed round their continent | let us look up in the interior. For half a j century the English government have been 1 expending lives and treasures in a partial I exploration. They have found that this • whole tract of country is one of amazing fertility and beauty, abounding in gold, and ! all sorts of tropical vegetation. There aie hundreds of woods, invaluable for dying j and architectural purposes, not found in j other portions of the world. Through it ; for thousands of miles sweeps a river, ; from three to six miles broad, with clear ! water and unsurpassed depth, flowing on ’ at the rate of two or three miles an hour, j without rock, shoal or snag to interrupt its ! navigation. Other rivers pour into this, j their tributary waters, of such volumes as ! must have required hundreds of miles to i lie collected, yet they seem scarcely to cn ! large it. This river pours its waters into the Atlantic through the most magnificent delta in*the world, consisting perhaps of a hundred mouths, extending probably five hundred miles along the coast, and mostly broad, deep and navigable for steamboats. Upon this river are scattered cities, some of which are estimated to contain a million of inhabitants, and the whole country teems with a dense population. But in the interior, in the very heart of the continent, is a nation in an advanced state of civilization. Tle granduer anil beauty of portions of the country through which the Niger makes its sweeping cir cuit are indescribable. In many places its banks rise boldly a thousand feet, and are thickly covered with the richest vegetation of tropical climes. But all Ibis vast and sublime country, this scope of rich fertility anti romantic beauty, is apparently shut out forever from the world. It is the negro’s sole possession. He need not fear the in cursions of the white man there, for over this whole lovely country moves one dread malaria, and to the white man it is the val ley of the shadow of death. In expedi tion after expedtion sent out from the Eng-j lish ports on the island of Ascension, not one in ten has returned alive—all have fallen victims to this seemingly beautiful country. It seems impossible for an Eng lishman to breathe that air. So dreadful is it—so small the chance of life, that criminals in England have been ottered pardon on condition of volunteering in this service, more terrible than that of gather ing poison from the fabled Upas. This country, tempting as it is, can only he pen etrated at the risk of life, and it is melan choly to think that those who have given us even the meagre information that we have, do it at the sacrifice of their lives. The only tolerable account which we have of this country, is published by a Swiss Officer in the service of the Egyptian Government, who was a member of an ex pedition fitted out by Mehemet Ali. He could give hut little account of the country however, only, they saw races of the most degraded negroes, and some fine specimens of humanity in other races. One tribe av eraged both men and women, seven foot in statue. — Scientific American. AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF PRINCE ACIULLE MURAT. When the royal family were'driven from Naples, and after the life of l’rince Murat j had been attempted by poison (the terrible i effects of which affected his constitution till | his death.) he made his escape with the assistance of some devoted partisans, and j embarked on board a merchantman bound ’ to Liverpool, in the disguise of a sailor-boy, J and worked his way before the mast. It j happened that a gentleman of the legal pro -1 session was on board, who now and then j during the passage particularly noticed ! him. Before the voyage was half over he ; entered frequently into conversation with j him, and was struck with the intelligence jhe evinced. Arrived at Liverpool, the | gentleman offered him money, which he de ! dined, lie then invited Murat to break j fast with him; after partaking of which * and enjoying an agreeable intellectual con j veisation, the sailor-boy, wishing to return . the complement, invited the gentleman in return. This astonished his host not a little: ‘• however, “for the fun of the tliiug” the i gentleman accepted. And on calling on ! his guest the following morning, what was I his astonishment at finding the sailor turn ! ed into the gentleman, surrounded with el egance. and a breakfast fit for a I.ncullus. i Murat explained; he was the exiled Prince rof the Two Sicilies, and made his escape in the disguise of a sailor, to escape the I horrors of a cruel death at the hands of , despotism. —Henry J. Braelfleld. I • - S&- The Providence Journal, speaking of Mr. Headley’s new work, entitled “Ad | irondack, or Life in the Woods,” says : ; j As we have not read this book, and have : no intention f doing so, we refrain from expressing any opinion of its merits. ‘Q UOH)/AO3 H) Q 9 WHIESt ©ESSlffla THE OLDEST INHABITANT DEAD. j A writer in the Savannah Republican ] mentions the death, on the 29th of March, ! of Mrs. Lonrania Throw er at her residence ! on the Ogechee, who was at least one hun dred and thirty three years of age. At a census taken in 1825, her age was put down at 110 and some accounts made her 137 at the time of her death. She had sev en children before the Revolution ; her youngest living child is between 70 and 80 ; she has great-grand-children 30 years old, and a number of great-great-great grand-children living in Florida. Ilersight failed her for a while, but returned 20 years ago, so that she could thread a flue needle, or read the finest print. Her faculties re mained almost unimpaired till her death.— She had been a member of the Baptist Church for more than a hundred years. A New Race. —A hitherto unknown race of people has been discovered, it is said, in the interior of Africa. The men are tall and powerfully built, standing sev en to seven-and-a-half English feet in height and black in color, althoughdestitute of the usual character of negroes in features. Me hemel Ali sent an expedition up the White Nile in search of gold, and there found this j race of people—fifteen hundred of whom, armed to the teeth, came down to the shore J of the river where the vessel lay. The j name of the kingdom occupied by this peo ple is Bari, and its capital Patenja. They I raise wheat, tobacco, etc., and manufacture 1 their own weapons. ! Honors to Dr. Jackson. — Dr. Charles j Jackson, of Boston, has received from the i French Government the Cross of the Na ! tional Order of the Legion of Honor in ac knowledgement of his high scientific at tainments, and fur having made the discov ery of etherization, which is so beneficial to mankind. |Dr. Jackson has also received from the King of Sweden a splendid gold medal, as a testimony of the respect in which his character and scientific services are held by that monarch. Moustaches. —The editor of the Home Journal asserts in that paper, that it has lately become all the rage in Germany for ladies to cultivate upon their upper lips, each, a downy, delicate moustache! It is thought a great ornament, notwithstanding the unceasing ridicule which has been cast upon moustaches when worn by men. The fashion is said to be advancing. President of Girard Collece. —The Directors of the College have elected Fred eric A. Packard, President of the Girard College, in place of Joel Jones, resigned. Mr. Packard has been for many years Su perintendant of the American Sunday School Union. Presentiment. — On the day of Lieuten ant Dale’s death in Syria, (he belonged to the U. S. Expedition to the Dead Sea,) his wife, being then in Pennsylvania, remarked to a gentleman, who has since testified to the fact—“ I wish you to note this day ; my spirits are so oppressed, my feelings are so unaccountably strange, that I am sure some great calamity awaits me—note it, that this is the 24th of July.” It was the day her husband died.— N. Y. Jour, of Com. The editor of the Boston Transcript says —“The fact of Airs. Dale’s remarkable presentiment was communicated to us some months since, on such authority as admit ted no question of the truth of the state ment.” What Next. —Dr. J. F. Wright, of Greenfield, Ohio, has invented a machine to print the names of subscribers in news papers, by which eighteen hundred papers can he directed in an hour with the great est accuracy. It is to be patented.—Mil waukie Sentinel. The Doctor should now turn his atten tion to some process by which every sub scriber will be made to pay for his paper. Such a discovery would render him not on ly rich for life, but what is of more conse quence, the idol of the press. —Albany Journal. Hard Cases.— Proudhon, the French Socialist, has recently admitted that in the “democratic and social” ranks are from 30 to 40,000 wild, reckless, ungovernable men, over who’ll it is impossible to exercise any control whatever. A Good Chance. —A boarding-house keeper in Baltimore, advertises to furnish “ gentlemen with pleasant and comfortable rooms; also, one or two gentlemen with wives.” Insolvency. —A man in Baltimore took the benefit of the Insolvent Act lately, to escape (laying a poor woman $2 50 for binding five pairs of gaiter boots. A New Planet. —A new planet was discovered by Signor dc Gaspari, at Naples, on the 12th of May. It is located between Mars and Jupiter. Gen. Taylor’s Cotton Crop.— We have been informed that Messrs. Maunsel White tit Cos. yesterday sold “Old Zack's” cotton at eight cents per pound, round. This we consider a tip-top price, and we are glad it is so, as he is one of the greatest suffer ers by the late overflow. Female Practitioners. — The Ameri can Medical Education Society of Boston established for the education of females for professional duties, but more particularly to instruct them in the obstetric art, prom j ises to be one of the most useful education ial establishments in the country. Twenty \ intelligent women have recently been in i structed in the institution, and are nowget ! ting into successful practice. “Tuf.

Among the many vigorous characters 1 drawn by Dickens in his new work, “The | Copperfield Survey,” that of Mr. Murd slone, the stepfather of the young hero, is perhaps the most striking. Davy's first impression of “new lords and new laws,” are thus given in Part 11. He had just returned from a visit, which he had been indulged in to get him out of the way dur ing his mother’s second marriage. Not meeting the welcome he expected, the boy had crept to his own room, and cried him self to sleep. “I was awoke by somebody saying • Here he is!’ and uncovering my hot head my mother and I’eggotty bad come to look I for me, and it was one of them who had j done it. ‘ Davy,’ said my mother. ‘ What’s the ’ matter V I I thought it very strange that she should ask me, and answered -Nothing.’ I turn j ed over on my face, I recollect, to hide my trembling lip, which answered her with greater truth. ‘ Davy, 1 said my mother. 1 Davy, my child! I dare say no words she could have ut tered, would have affected me so much, then, as her calling me her child. I hid my tears in the bedclothes, and pressed her from me with my hand, when she would have raised me up. ‘ This is your doing, Peggotty, you cru el thing!’ said my mother. ‘I have no doubt at all about it. I low can yoa recon cile it to your conscience, I wonder, to pre judice my own boy against me, or against anybody who is dear to me 1 What do you mean by it, Peggotty V Poor Peggotty lifted up her hands and eyes, and only answered, in a sort of para phase of the grace 1 usually repeated after dinner, ‘ Lord forgive you, Mrs. Copper field, and for what you have said this min uet, may you ever he truly sorry !’ It’s enough to distract me,’ cried my mother. ‘ln my honey-moon, too, when my most inveterate enemy might relent, one would think, and not envy ine a little peace oi mind and happiness, Davy, you naughty boy! Peggotty, you savage crea ture ! Oh, dear me!’ cried my mother, turning from one of us to the other, in her pettish, wilful manner, ‘what a troublesome world this is when one has the most right to expect it to be as agreeable as possible!’ I felt the touch of a itand that I knew was neither her's nor Peggotty’s, and slip ped to my feet at the bedside. It was Mr. Murdstone’s, hand, and he kept it on my arm as he said. ‘What's this I Clara, my love, have you forgotten I —Firmness, my dear?’ ‘I am very sorry, Edward, 1 said my mother. 1 [ meant to be very good, but I am so uncomfortable. 1 ‘lndeed! 1 he answered. That’s a bad hearing, so soon, Clara. 1 I I say it's very hard I should be so now, 1 returned my mother, 1 and it is—very hard —isn’t it P He drew her to him, whispered in her ear, and kissed her. I knew as well, when I saw my mother's head lean down upon his shoulder, and herarm touch hisneck— I knew as well that he could mould her pliant nature into any form he chose, as 1 know, now, that he did it. ‘Go you below, my love, 1 said Mr. Mile stone. ‘David and 1 will comedown to gether. My friend, 1 turning a darkening face on Peggotty, when he w’atched my mother out, and dismissed her with a nod and a smile: ‘ do you know your mistress’s name V ‘ She has been my mistress a long time, sir, 1 answered Peggotty. ‘I ought to. 1 ‘That's true, 1 he answered. ‘But I thought I heard you, as I came up stairs, address her by a name that is not hers.— She has taken mine, you know. Will you remember that V Peggotty, with some uneasy glances at me, curtseyed herself out of the room with out replying: seeing, I supose, that she was expected to go, and had no excuse for remaning. When we two were left alone, he shut the door, and sitting on a chair, and holding me standing before him, look ed steadily into my eyes. I felt my own attracted, no less steadily, to his. As I re call our being opposed thus, face to face, I seem again to hear my heart beat fast and high. ‘ David, 1 lie said, making his lips thin, by pressing them together, ‘if I have an obstinate horse or a dog to deal with, what do you think I do P * 1 don't know. 1 ‘I beat him. 1 I had answered in a kind of breathless whisper, but I felt, in my silence, that my breath was shorter now. I I make hitn wince, and smart. I say to myself, ‘ I'll conquer that fellow; 1 and if it were to cost him all the blood he bad, 1 should do it. What is that upon your face V ‘Dirt, 1 I said. He knew it was the mark of tears as well as I. But if he had asked the ques tion twenty times, each time with twenty blows, I believe my baby heart would have burst before 1 would have told him so. ‘You have a good deal of intelligence for a little fellow, 1 he said, with a grave smile I bat belonged to him, ‘and you un- derstand me very well, I see. Wash that face, sir, and come down with inc.’ He pointed to the washing stand, which 1 had made out to be like Mrs. Gamrnidge, and motioned me with his head to obey ’ him directly. I had little doubt then, and : 1 have less doubt now, that he would have 1 knocked me down without the least com punction, if I had hesitated. ‘Clara, my dear,’ he said, when I had done his biding, and he walked me into the parlor, with his hand still on my arm, ! “ you will not be made uncomfortable any more, I hope. We shall soon improve our youthful humors.” God help me, I might have been im proved for my whole life, I might have been made another creature, perhaps, for life, by a kind word at that season, A word of encouragement and explanation, of pity for my childish ignorance, of wel come home, of reassurance to me that it was home, might have made me dutiful to him in my heart henceforth, instead of m my hypocritical outside, and might have made me respect iustead of hate him. 1 thought my mother was soiry to see me standing in the room so scared and strange, and that, presently, when I stole to a chair, she fol lowed me with her eyes more sorrowfully still—missing, perhaps, some freedom in my childish tread—but the word was not spoken, and the time for it was gone.” 3iß)crtisemcnts.
