POETRY.
From tiie Philadelphia American D. Adv’r.
MR. SUMMERFIELD.
I saw the Evangelist of God ascend
The holy place. He stood in the beauty
Os meekness—He spake, and on my heart
Fell accents, glowing with the prophet’s fire.—
I beard thee, mighty one ! and was afraid,
trembled, listened—for mcthought no voice
Os mortal sound could thrill my bosom thus!
O sweet as angels’ musick were the tones
M hich breath’d their Gilead on the wounded heart;
Strengthen’d the weak,and bade the broken come
To Siloatn’s fountain, and in faith be whole.
1 wept o’er blighted hopes—but thou didst draw
A willing captive, my admiring soul
AVith thee, to brighter regions, where the dream
Os full fruition lives, nor is unreal.
I feared death—but thou didst deck the foe
In lovely garb—with softest beauty clad
I saw him beckoning to the narrow house
Os rest, uhere spicy odours balm the air,
And resurrection’s halo crowns the dead.
God speed tliee, favour’d one ! thy diadem,
’Tis wreath’d of gentleness, is thick bestrown
With peails of nature’s forming—they are tears,
Yea, tears of rapture, Ijoly and untold.
The Cairier Pigeon, it is well known, fl : es at an
elevated pitch, in order to surmount every ob
stacle between her and the place where she is
destined.
The bird let loose in Eastern skies,
When hastening fondly home,
Ne'er stoops to earth her wings, nor dies
W here idle warblers roam.
But high she shoots through air and light,
Above all low delay,
W’here nothing earthly bounds her flight,
Nor shadows dim her way.
So grant me, God, from every care,
• And stain of passion free,
Aloft through virtue’s purer air,
To hold my course to thee.
No sin to cloud—no hire to stay
My soul, as home she springs :
Thy sunshine on her joyful way,
Thy freedom on her wings.
Moore.

ABORIGINAL AFFECTION.
The article under this head, published last week,
alluded tothelViDowinc - flectinj narrative,which
is copied from the History of the Expedition to
the Rooky Mountains in the year 1819, under
Major Long of the I T . S. Army.
In tire year 1811, a trader married a
beautiful squaw of one c.f the most disnn
polished families in the Oma-.- haw nation.
This match, on the part of the husband,was!
induced by the following rircomsJanc.es.— !
Being an active, intelligent, and enterpris-j
ing man, he had introduced the American j
trade to the Missouri Indians, and had gain-1
ed great confidence among them by his!
bratery and ingenuous deportment. But
heat length perceived that his influence’
was gradually declining, in consequence of!
the presence and wives of many rival tra
ders, to whom his enterprize bad opened
the way, and that his customer* were grad
ually forsaking him.
Thus circumstanced, in order to regain
the ground he had lost, he determined to 1
seek a matrimonial alliance with one of the 1
most powerful families of the Omawbaws. 1
In pursuance oflhi= resolution, he selected! 1
a squaw, whose family and friends were 11
such ns he desired. He addressed himself 1
to her parents, agreeably to the Indian cus-1 *
tom, and informed them that he loved their r
daughter, that he was very sorry to see her! 1
in the state of poverty common to her no- i 1
lion, arid although he possessed a wife!’
among the w hite people, yet he wished to
have one also of the Omawhaw nation, it j
they would transfer tomr daughter to him
in marriage he would obligate himself to
treat her kindly ; and as he had commenced
a p rraaneut trading establishment in then i
country, he would dwell during a portion of
tiia year with her, and the remainder with
the white people, as the nature of his occu
pation required. His establishment should
be her home, and that of her people during
her life, as he never intended to abandon
the trade In return he expressed his ex
pec.tatioo that for this act the nation would
give him the refusal ol their peltries, in or
der that he might he enabled to comply
with his engagement to them. He further
promised that it the match proved fruitful,
the children should he made known to the
while people, and would probably be qual
ified to continue the trade after his death.
The parents replied with thanks for his
liberal offers, and for his disposition to have
pity on them, they would not object to
the connexion, and Imped that their
daughter would accept efhitn as a husband
The parents then retired ; and opened
the subject to the daughter ; they assured
her that her proposed husband was a great
man, greater than any of the Omawbaws ;
that he would do much for her and for them
—and concluded by requesting her to acqui
esce in the wishes of the white man. She
replied that ail they said was without doubt
true, and that agreeably to his request, she
was willing to become his wife.
The agreement being concluded, the
trader made presents agreeably to the cus
tom of the nation, and conducted his inter
esting prize to his house.
The ensuing autumn she had the pleas
ure to see him return, having now conceiv
ed fur him the most tender attachment.—
Upon bis visit the following season, she
presented him with a tine daughter, born
during ins absence, and whom she had
nursed with the fondest attention. With
the infant in her arms, she had daily seated
herself on the hank of a river, and followed
the downward course of the stream with
her eye, to gam the earliest notice of his
approach. Thus time passed on. The
second year a father greeted a son, and ob
tained his squaw’s reluctant consent to take
their daughter with hint on his return voy
age to (he country of the white people.—
But no sooner had he commenced his voy-,
age, although she had another charge upon
which to lavish her caresses,than her mater
nal fondness overpowered her, and she ran
crying and screaming along the riverside!
in pursuit ol the boat, tearing out her long.
Rowing hair, and appearing to be almost
bereft of reason. Ou her return home she j
gave away every thing she possessed, cut;
off her hair, went in deep mourning, and re
mained inconsolable. She would often say, I
that she well knew that her daughter would
be better treated than she could be at home; i
hut she could not avoid regarding her own!
situation to be the same as if the NVahcoodaj
[one of their deities] had taken away JierotV-i
-pring forever.
One day, in company with six otherj
-quavvs, she was engaged in her agricultu
ral labours, her infant boy being secured to
his cradle-like board, which she had care
fully reclined against a Iree at a short ilis j
tance. They were discovered by a war
party of Sioux, who rushed towards them
with the expectation of gratifying their
vengeance by securing their scalp-. An
exclamation from her companions directed
her attention to the comm n enemy, and in i
her flight she fled precipitately, but sud
denly recollected her child—sheswrfily re
‘uriied full in the face of the Sioux—snalch- 1
id her child from the tree, anil turned to
save its life, more precious than her own.
She was closely pursued by one of tlieene
my, when she arrived at a fence which sep- ,
orated her from the trading house. A tno
ment’s hesitation here would have been fa
tal, and exerting all her strength, she threw
(he child, with ii* board, as far as she could !
on (he opposite side.
Four of the squaws were tomahawked, ’
and the others escaped, of which number
the mother was one, having succeeded in j
hearing oft her child uninjured.
The trailer, on his arrival at the settle
ments, learned that his white or civilized
wife had died during his absence, and alter
a short inierva! devoted to the usual for
malities of mourning, he united his destinies
with another and highly amiable lady
The second season his wife accompanied
hitn on h;s annual voyage up the Missouri,
to his trading house, the abode of his squavv.
Previously to his arrival, however, he di=
patched a messenger to his dependents at
the trading house, directing th-m to pre
vent hi- squaw from appearing in the pres
ence ol his wife. She wa* accordingly sent
off to (he village of her nation, a distance of
sixty or seventy miles. Bui shp could not
long rptnain here, anti soon returned with
] her little boy on her hack, anil accompanied
j by some of her friends, she encamped near
her husband’s residence. She sent her
; son to the trader, who treated him affec
. lionately. On the succeeding day the .ra
i ( l er sent tor his squaw, and after making her
| some presents,he directed her to accompany
her friends who were then on their way to
their hunting grounds.
She departed without a murmur, as it is |
not unusual with the Omawhaws to send off
one of their wives, on some occasion* while
they remain with the favourite ore.
About two months afterwards the trader
recalled her. Overjoyed with what she
supposed to he her good fortune, she lost
no time in presenting herself before the
husband whom she tenderly loved. Gut
great was her disappointment, when her
husband demanded the surrender of the
child, and renounced for the future any as
sociation with herself, directing her to re
turn to her people, and to provide for her
future well being in any way she miMR
choose. °
Overpowered by her feelings on this de- i
ntand and repudiation, she run from (he t
house, and finding a periogtie on the river. :
-he paddled over to (he opposite side and I ,
made her escape into the forest, with her !
child. The night was cold and attended
with a fall of snow and hail. Reflecting
upon her disconsolate condition, she resolv
ed to return again in the morning, and with
the feeling* of a wife and a mother io plead
her cause before the arbiter of her fate, and
endeavour to mitigate the cruel sentence.
Agreeably to this determination, she
’nee more approached him, upon whom she
had claims paramount to those of any other
individual. “ Hpre is our child,” said she,
“ ! d° not question your fondness for him,
hut he is still more dear to me. You sav
you will keep him for yourself, and drive
me far from you But no, I will remain
with him ; I can find some, hole or corner ■
into which I may creep, in order to he near
him, and sometimes to see him. if you will i
not give me food, I will nevertheless, re
main until I starve before your eye.”
The trader then offered her a consider
able present, desiring her at the same time
to go and leave the child. But she said,
“is my child a dog, that I should sell him
for merchandize?—You cannot drive me
away : you may beat me it is true, and oth
erwise abuse me, but I will remain. When
you married me, you promised to use me
kindly, as long as I should be faithful to
you; that I have been so, no one can de
ny.—Ours was not a marriage contracted
for a season, it was to terminate only with
our lives, i was then a young girl, and
might have been united to an Omawhaw
i chief, but I am an old woman, having had
| two children,& what Omawhaw will regard
jme ? Is not my right paramount to that es
• i your other wife ? she had heard of me be
: fore you possessed her. Il is true her skin
is whiter char, mine, bn! her heart cannot
be more pure toward- you, nor her fidelity
i more rigid.—do not take tin*'child from my
I breast, 1 cannot bear to hear it cry, and not
I be present to relieve it; permit me to re
tain it until Ibe Spring, when it will be
able to cal, aud then, if it must be so, take
it from my sight, tat I mny part with it
but once.”
Seeing her thus hrtexible, the trader in
formed her, that stj- might remain there if
she pleased, but tjat the child should be
immediately sent dlwn to the settlements.
The ufl’ectionatojuuther had thus far sus
tained herselfduriig the interview with (he
firmness of h couscous virtue, and success
fully resisted the nipulse of her teeling,
but nature now yielded, the tears coursed
rapidly over her cieeks, and clasping her
hands, and bowing jer head, she burst into
an agony of grief, exclaiming, “ why did
the Wuhconda hafe me so much as to in
duce me to put uiy child again into your
power.”
The feelings of the unhappy mother
were, however, soon relieved. Mr.
Dougherty communicated the circumstan
ces of the case to Major OTailon, who im
mediately and peremptorily ordered the
restoration of the child to its mother, and
informed (he trader that any further at
tempt to wrest it from her should be at his
peril.

LA FAYETTE.
An extract of a letter from La Fayette to CoL
Willett of New York, induced the-belief that he
intends to revisit the United States. The follow
ing is the letter : “ Paris, July 5, 1822.
My dear Sir—l avail myself of a good opportu
nity to remind you of .your old friend and fellow
soldier, in whose heart no time nor distance can
abate the remembrances and personal affections of
our revolutionary times. We remain but too few
survivers of that glorious epoch in which the fate
of two hemispheres has been decided. It is an
additional monitor to think more of the ties of
brotherly friendship which united us. May it be
in my power, before 1 join my departed compan
ions, to visit such of them as are still inhabitants
of the United States, and tell yon personally, my
dear Willett, how affectionately I am your friend,
LA FAYETTE.
A Table of Contents to one Chapter in the life
of James Smith, alias Wm. Williams.
He stole a horse on Friday, Feb. 23, 1822 ; he
was bound over to the Superiour Court, then in
session at Hartford, Ct.-on Saturday plead guil
ty, and was sentenced by his honour Judge Peters,
to New Gate for three years on Monday—con
ducted to New Gate, carried thence to New
Haven to attend his trial before the coonty court
for a previous horse theft—sentenced three years
more—remanded to New Gate—called from that
place to (lie bar of the court at Tolland, for hav
ing stolen yet another horse—convicted and sen
tenced for three years more—handcuffed,in which
predicament he attempted to slab his keeper on
his way back to New Gate—arrived at the mines
—swallowed laudanum to kill himself—the phy
sician applied means to bring it from his stomach,
which succeeded—went to work—was permitted
to go out of the environs with a guard to work on
a wagon—made an excuse to get out of sight of the
guard—threw off his irons, which before had been
secretly cut—fled to the woods—stole a horse,
saddle and bridle—rode him to Mr. Buck’s tavern
at Haskell’s Point—rode off with another horse to
Bissell’s ferry—stole a skiff and sculled over—
mounted a trooper’s horse, which was ready ca
| parisoned with saddle, bridle, martingale and pis
tols, holsters and crupper—and has not since been
heard of. A reward of forty dollars has been of
fered for his apprehension.
FOREIGN ITEMS.
From late London papers.
The accounts from the Continent of the 16th of
this month inform us that a post of CO Franks en
camped at the village of Pera, were surprized by
the Turks. They were taken to Arta, where the
barbarians cut off their ears and noses, and put
out their eyes, and sent then, back to the camp of
the Greeks, who, inflamed with rage at the sight,
fell upon the Mahometans and retaliated by cut
ting in pieces 340 prisoners, who fell into their
hands.
’I he death of Odysseus (the Greek general) was
generally spoken of as a loss which is more than
made up by the success of the brave and prudent
Mark Botzaris. No reliance is now placed in
Greece on the assistance of Russia, to which, as
Courchid Pacha has publickly announced, “ the
Porte had deigned to grant peace, since it has
abandoned the cause of its Greek fellow Chris
tians, and recognized the pre eminence of the
Crescent over the standard of the Cross !” Tho’
this is merely the boasting of a Barbarian, it is not
easy to describe the sinister impression which it
has made on the minds of Christians.
It is affirmed that in the famous battle at Ther
mopylae, the Greeks were aided by the counsels
of a foreign general of distinction who came from
Corinth. This officer, who observed the strictest
incognito, fought in the ranks merely as a Greek
captaiD.
A TIGER.
In 1812, a party of the British naval and milita
ry officers were dining in a jungle at some distance
from Madras, when a ferocious tiger lushed in
among them, seized a young midshipman, and
threw him across his back. In the first emotions
of terror the other oilieers had all snatched up
their side arms, and retired some paces from their
assailant, who stood lashing his side with Ids tail
as if doubtful whether he should seize more prey,
or retire with that which he had already secured.
They knew that it was usual with the tiger, be
fore he seizes his prey, to deprive it of life by a pat
on the head, which generally breaks the skull;
but this is not his invariable practice. The little
midshipman lay motionless on the hack of his en
emy ; but yet the officers, who were uncertain
whether he had received the moßal blow or not,
were afraid to fire, lest they should kill him to
gether with the tiger. While in this state ol sus
pense, they perceive the hand of the youth gent
ly move over the side of the animal, and thinking
the motion to result from the convulsive throbs of
death, they were about to fire ; when to their ut
ter astonishment, the tiger suddenly dropped
stone dead, and their young friend sprung from
the carcass, waving in triumph a bloody dirk
drawn from the heart for which he had been feel
ing with the utmost coolness and circumspection,
v\ lieu the motion of his hand had been taken for a
dying spasm.
An English apothecary sent in his bill for at
tendance. It consisted of two items—medicines
and visits, The patient was a punster, and wrote
the following note :
Sir—l have received your bill, and herewith
send the amount of your charge for medicines. —
As for your visits, I beg leave to return them.
Yours, in haste.
Laconick enough ! but not equal in this respect
to the following correspondence between the late
Duke of Dorset (ou his marriage) and his friend
Lord Bulkley :
Dear Bulkley—l am this day the happiest dog
in England. Yours, DORSET.

PROSPECTUS
OF A
Christian Almanack, for 1823.
Calculated for the Caroliuas and Georgia.
Ff’* HE Charleston Religious Tract Society pro
JL pose to publish a tract with the above title,
calculated for the meridian of Columbia, (S. C.)
and adapted for the use of ail parts of the Caroli
nas and Georgia. Besides serving the common
purposes of an almanack, this Tract is designed
to be made the medium of religious intelligence
and <Christian instruction. Its pages v-ill be chiefly
filled with brief views and comprehensive state
ments respecting the great system of divine ope
ration and benevolent action, which distinguishes
the present age from those that have preceded it.
j And as far as information can be seasonably ob
| taiued, it will also give a particular account of the
: religious and benevolent iu-titulioiis of the states
in which it is designed to be circulated—such as,
the number of ministers, churches and communi
cants belonging to the several denominations of
Christians, the names and a brief history of the
Societies which have been formed for the ,-piritu
, ai good of particular portions of the community,
| and other benevolent institutions which have b- en
| established for the relief of the neglected and suf
| ferjng. In addition to these facts, it will contain
short selections suited to promote holy living and
active zeal among Christians, as well as to en
tertain and instruct the youthful mind.
It is proposed to publish the Christian Alma
i nack in a tract of 48 duodecimo pages, and to sell
i it to country booksellers and merchants at the
! rate of §6 per gross, and to individuals at 12-12
cents single. The number for 1823 will be cori
) sidered as the first of a series, (7 composing a vol
ume) and it will be the wish of the publishers to
fill them w ith such useful matter as may induce
(he subscribers to preserve and bind them as a
book of future reference and instruction.
Should any profits arise from the publication,
they will be devoted to the distribution of religious
tracts
The object of this prospectus is to engage the
active patronage of all friends of useful informa
tion and religious order, and especially all minis
ters and enlightened Christians, in the
circulation ol a work which is designed to coiivey
important intelligence to many who would older
wise remain in ignorance of the wonderful move
ments which are going on in the moral and re
ligious world, and to be a source of moral and re
ligious instruction to all.
As the profits of the work are to be devoted to
a benevolent object, it is to be hoped that many
individuals will be active in obtaining the patron
age of their respective neighbourhoods fur the
benefit of the Society, or where it is prefi ■ ed,
will devote the profits of retailing it to the pur
chase of religious tracts for the benefit of families
in their immediate vicinity.
Individuals are requested .to give early informa
tion of the number of copies wanted, by writing
to Thomas Fleming. George Street, Charleston.
