Mr. Pus mat,
The following piece war* suggested by reading
that part of Gov. Robertson’s Speech to the Leg
islature of Louisiana, in which he highly disap
proves of the'practice of imprisonment for debt.
It is a parody on Moore’s favourite song of

GOAL REFLECTIONS.
A PARODY.
“Fairpromued ninbeanu of term trial ft list,
My gallant hopet—an ye tome to thu /**
Mostgohist.
I knew by the iron-bound windows I saw,
Looking cheerless and tad, that the Jail-house
was near;
And I said, if a poor man’s in debt, then the law
Will furnish him rent-free a residence here.
U was night—and on straw that lay acattered
around,
Two pns’oers were bound by a somnifick spell;
E'en the keeper was mute —and l heard not a
sound,
Sut the strong bolt that echoed poor liberty’s
knell.
And here, in this lonely dark room, 1 exclaimed,
VV sib companions disgusting to soul and to eye,
Who would mock if I prais’d them, and curse
when I blam'd,
’Tm misery to live—and ’tis horrour to die.
By the moon’s partial light, that gleams faint
through the grate,
I can just see the corner where I’m to recline ;
O pity, ye wise legislators, my fate.
And again let the blessings of freedom be mine !

INDIAN TRADITION.
.in Indian Chief's account of a dreadful
massacre, which happened tnanp centuries ago.
as their tradition reports. —Communicated by
gentleman of Cambria, Niagara county, jY.
Y. t 0 his friend in Princeton, JY. J.
1 am sometimes a.most disposed to credit
a tradition given oie by an old Indian cbiel
of the Toonewania tribe, in answer to my
inquiries. He atfirmed that about twelve
thousand moone before the while people
came hither to rob them of their lands, a
large number of families coming off the
wreat wasers, asked the privilege of remain
ing a short time. Their request being geo
-erousiy granted, they lauded, and remained
until (be wilderness was covered with their
offspring. The news of the surprising in
crease of these visiters, spread sorrow and
consternation around them. The hearts of
the neighbouring tribes melted like was,
and disiaut warrtours quaked with fear. A
council of war was assembled. The chief
first id command from every tribe, commen
cing at the shores of the AtJaotick, and ex
tending to the ends of the earth, was sum
mooed to appear at this mighty council.
This council, assembled for a combination
awful beyond description, overspread many
miles of territory. The same barbarous
desires glow in every bosom. All are unan
imous in the dreadful resolution, to sweep
‘this detested race from the face of nature.
After etching upon iheir rod3 of time, the
proposed number of moons, which were to
pass before they weTe to re-asscmb!e, they
depart to enkindle the same hellish dame
in tl#ir respective iribes, and to prepare to
execute their dreadful resolution. While
this tremendous storm is gathering, the
heavens are clothed with smoke, and the
omens seein to predict the speedy dissoln
tion of nature. At the time appointed, an
innumerable host of blood-thirsty warriours
pour fourth like legions of heads, from the
abodes of darkness, eager to satiate their
thirst with human blood. And when the
curtains of night had covered the world, and
the defenceless victims of their rage were
slumbering in their dwellings, the awful
Scenes of desolation commenced, which no
language can express, no imagination con
ceive. The silence of midnight is broken
by the yells of the exulting savage, ming
ling with the shrieks of bleeding victims,
and (he wilderness is illumined by the blaze
of their dwellings. Opening the streams of
life, their weapons are bathed iD the crim
son current, and the vallies below are del
uged with blood pouring down the moun
tains. Blazing with a fury which no reason
could pacify, no entreaties assuage, they
pursue the objects of their malice, ravaging
every house, and assaulting every fortifica
tion. The remnant of this devoted people,
who for a loDg lime had bravely defended
themselves in their fortified stations, were
at length compelled to abandon them and
retreat to the Muskingum, leaving their
country behiod, reeking with blood, and
emoking in ruins. A large fortification is
here erected, and mighty preparations made
to resist the power of these enemies. But
at length being diminished by a grievous
famine and disease, they fell a prey to the
merciless Indians. Thus, after a war con
tinuing thirty-six moons, unparalleled for its
barbarity, not ope man, one woman, nor
one child survived. But being driven with
in tbeir fortification, which was immediate
ly fired, they perished together in one gen
eral conflagration. “It is a fact, that a for
tification more than two miles in length has
been discovered on the western branch of
(be Muskingum, in the state of Ohio, about
ninety miles from Marietta, tbe wall of
which is not less than twenty feet high.

CURIOUS FACTS IN NATURAL HIS
TORY.
The examination >,i dowers by tbe mi
croscope opens anew field of wonder to
the inquiring naturalist; by which we are
enabled to perceive that the minutest works
of Nature are adorned with the most con
summate elegance and beauty. As one
proof, from innumerable others that might
he ifeieeleA, I beg to subjoin Sir John Hill* l
interesting account of what appeared on
examining a carnation; first published in
the Inspector, No. 109. “ The principal
flower in this bouquet, was a carnation; the
fragrance of this led me to enjoy it fre
quently and nearly: the sease of smelling
was not the only one affected on these oc
casions ; while that was satiated with the
powerful sweet, the ear was constantly at
tacked by an extremely soft but agreeable
murmuring sound. It was easy to know
that some animal, within the covert, must
be the musician, and that the little noise
must come from some little body suited to
produce it. I instantly distended the lower
part of the flower, and, placing it in a full
light, could discover troops of little insects
friskiog and capering with wild jollity
among the narrow pedestals that supported
its leaves, and the little threads that occu
pied its centre! I was not cruel enough to
pull out any one of them for examination:
but adaptiug a microscope to take in at one
view, the whole base of the flower, I gave
myself an opportunity of contemplating
what they were about, and this for many
days together without giving them the least
disturbance. ‘ Thus coaid I discover their
economy, their passions, and their enjoy
ments. The microscope, on this occasion,
had given what nature seemed to have de
nied to the objects of contemplation. The
base of the flower extended itself under its
influence to a vast plain; the slender stems
of the leaves became trunks of so many
stately cedars; the threads in the mid
dle seemed columns of massy structure,
supporting at the top their several orna
ments; and the narrow spaces between
were enlarged into wa!!:s, parterres, and
terraces. On the polished bottom of these,
brighter than Parian marble, walked in
pairs, alone, or in larger companies, tfce
winged inhabitants: these from little duky
flies (for each only the naked eye would
have shown them,) were raised to glorious
glitteriog animals, stained with living pur
ple, Dd with a glossy gold that would have
made all the labours of the loom contempti
ble in the comparison. I could, at leisure,
as they walked together, admire their ele
gant limbs, their velvet shoulders, and
their silken wings; their hacks vieing with
the empyrean in its blue; and tbeir eyes,
each formed of a thousand others, nutglit
teriog the little plaoes on a brilliant above
description, and too great almost for admi
ration. Here were the perfumed groves,
the more than myrtle shades, of the poet’s
fancy, realized; here the little animals
spent their day in joyful dalliance; or in
the triumph of their little hearts, skipped
after one another from stem to stem among
the painted trees; or winged their shor*
flight to the close shadow of gome broader
leaf, to revel undisturbed in the heights of
all felicity.”
IT’S fyL MOONSHINE.
* When I was a boy, and lived with my
grandmother at Willow-grove, I remember
once walking out with her among the trees
that sheltered our green from the summer
sun, one moonlight evening. We bad not
gone far, before the old lady perceived
something on the ground that appeared like
a white handkerchief, and as she stooped
intent on picking it up, I perceived that
it was but the light of the moon shining
through au opening in the branches above
us, and called out “ La, Grandma , it's all
moonshine “It is but moonshine, truly,”
said she, rubbing her fingers in evident dis
appointment ; “ but, Oliver, many people
grasp at moonshine.”
I I <’ghed at my grandmother then, but I
have since often witnessed the truth of her
remark.
When I see a young man pursuiog a gay
butterfly of a girl, because she is beautiful,
though she possesses none of the qualifica
tions necessary to make a good wife, a good
house keeper, or a good mother, it brings
to my mind the old story ; depend upon it
he is grasping a phantom : it's all moon
shine.
When I see pleasure hunters and those
who are seeking after happiness, plunge
into dissipation, or seek gay and giddy com
pany, or drink deep of tbe cup of sensual
enjoyment,! feel for them; these are not tbe
pearls of price that bring with them peace
and content ; they are worthless ; they
are nothing but moonshine.
When I see a gambler forever at the
billiard table, with eager hopes of making
money thereby, and carrying with him the
means by which alone his family can be
supported, to squander it there ; I think
with a sigh, how sadly that poor man mis
takes the path of wisdom, and labours after
that which is all moonshine.
He is grasping at moonshine, who strives
to raise his consequence in the World by a
suit of fine clothes, or an unpaid-for side
board ; and so is be who is aiming to build
a foundation upon which to elevate himself
in the estimation of the world, of a few
‘thousand paltry dollars ; for as Buras says,
“ The rank is but the guinea’s stamp ;
“ The mar's the gold for all that.”
And none can become truly great but those
whom nature has fitted to be so.
These are plain, palpable cases : I have
sometimes thought men were grasping at
moonshine, who live by litera
ture, or make money by printing newspa
pers, or dreamed of collecting tbeir debts
or receiving legacies in these times; yet as
these may be doubtful, I will not persist in
tbe®. [Emporium.
S CORSETS.
To all whom it may concern.
A lady in N. Jersey was the mother of
three amiable daughters, highly accom
plished 4- beautiful; these young ladies have
long been in the habit of lacing as tight as
any of their neighbours ; one has become
quite infirm, and the other two evidently I
droop. The alarmed parent stated the
situation of her children to her old friend,
tha venerable Dr. Galen of Philadelphia,
who eoon after the receipt of her note for
warded the following reply ;
Madam'—The case of your charming
daughters affects me, and my whole expe
rience may be put in requisition to assist
them ; that they were healthy, robust, and
fine children, I perfectly recollect, and that
their healths are now impaired may per
hspa be solely ascribed to themselves.—
Fashion destroys more females than fevers.
From a mistaken notion of bettering the
best work es Heaven, the infatuated fair
risk health and even life itself. I deem the
corset of the present day to be a perfect
engine of torment, and worthy the inquisi
tions of Goa and Rome, and infinitely worse
than the stays of time gone by. These last
to be sure were injurious, but they left the
resemblance of a female shape ; the corset
on the contrary presents the waist as reg
ularly round and tintapering as a white lepd
keg. The olden stays I remember were
laced with a silken string, of the size of the
finest twine ; but the corset requires a curd
equalling the bow string of a Kickapoo
chief. The antiquated hoop was of formi
dable expansion, and when first thrown up
on the publick eye created no trivial sen
sation—but in itself it was perfectly harm
less—there was no compression about it,
and the lady abode as safely within its am
ple circumference as the sentinel in his box.
Every dog will have, abd every fashion
mast have its'day ; the reign of the corset
has endured about as long as the reign of
Bonaparte, and, like the latter, fatal
enough in all conscience. I anticipate the
happy period when the fairest portion of
the fair creation will step forth unencum
bered with slabs of walnut and tiers of
whalebone. The constitution of our fe
males must be excellent to withstand in any
degree the terrible inflictions of the corset
eight long hours of every day, or the hor -
rible total of 178,200 minutes in one year.
No other animal could survive it. Take
the honest ox, and enclose his sides with
hoop poles, .put an oaken plank beneath
him and gird the whole with a bed-cord,
and then demand of him labour. He would
labour iodeed, but it would be for breath.—
Splinter and belay a pig in the same way,
and a whine might be aspirated, but it
would be a whine of expiration. <
But I fear I am trespassing too violently
on vour patience, and in pity to you con
elude with the old Caledonian motto, u Spe
ro meliro.” Yours, &c.
A Jewish Lucretia. —The following story from
R. Abraham Levita, related by the learned Shick
hard, is very rare, and deserves to be better
known, and discovers inconceivably higher views
than the far famed conduct of the Roman Lucre
tia :
“ A Saracen commander of a fleet from Cordo
ba, in Spain, cruizing on the coast of Palestine,
took a vessel bound to Sebaste, with some learn
ed Jews on board; there was one Rabbin among
the rest, called R. Moses, father of R. Enoch,
together with his wife, whose name is omitted in
the story, though it well deserved to be recorded.
It is only said of her, that she was a woman of
exquisite beauty ; and the brute of a Captain be
ing about to commit violence on her person, she
calls to her husband, who was within hearing, but
in chains, and ask 9 him in Hebrew, whether they
who were drowned in the sea should revive at
the resurrection of the dead ? He replied in the
words of Psalm lxviii. 22—“ The Lord said, I will
bring again from Basan, I will bring again from
the depths of the sea.” Upon which she imme
diately threw herself into the sea and was drown
ed.”
Patrick Henry, who was a very devout man,
left in his will tbe following testimony in favour
of the Christian religion :
“ I have now disposed of all my property to my
family—there is one thing more I wish,l could
give them, and that is the Christian Religion. If
they had that, and I had not given them one
shilling, they would be rich ; and if they have
not that, and I bad given them all the world, they
would be poor.”
Blunders —What singular absurdities and in
consistencies sometimes possess one fora moment,
in tbe hurry of sudden thought and immature re
collection ! “ I have my mouth full of water,”
says Swift, “ and was going to spit it out, because
(l reasoned with myself) how could 1 write wheu
my mouth was full.” Such errors of combina
tion on the impulse of the moment, every body
must be sometimes aware of. I was going to
take a walk tbe other evening with a friend, who
proposed that we should go along a certain road
which he admired. “No no,” said I, “ not that,
because of the post.” I ride a horse which al
ways starts at this post, so that when on bis back
1 usually avoid it if 1 can. Was I afraid that I
should start’ No—that was not it, I suppose; but
I should certainly not have trusted the road if
left to myself, with no other than that dim objec
tion, the post.
Richardson. —“ Alas !my life has been a tri
fling busy, one,” says Richardson, “ I never found
time to read all the Spectators.” A fine compli
ment this to literature, from a man of business !
Hear it, ye slaves, Who think that money-getting
is the only useful employment.
Curran, the Irish orator, was once asked what
an Irish gentleman, just arrived in England, could
mean by perpetually putting out his tongue. “ I
suppose,” replied the wit, “ he’s trying to catch
the English accent.”
Dexterous Punning. —The following anecdote
was sent by a young lady to her love, whose name
was Nott, a few weeks before tbeir marriage,
rhe nuptial knot was tied soon after the diseern
ing love decyphered its import.
Why urge, dear Sir, a bashful maid
To change a single lot,
When well you know I’ve often said,
In truth, 1 love you, Nott.
For all your pain, I do, Nott, care,
And trust me, on my life,
Though you have, millions, I declare
I would, Nott, be your wife.
letter to a lady.
“ Madame, —You have my disposition: you
are not ignorant that the society of tbe ladies is to
toe a mere recreation,-and that 1 have never sa
crificed my principles to tbe fair sex. I pay but
little attention to recommendations, and 1 only
take them into consideration, when the person, in
whose behalf 1 may be solicited, possesses real
| merit.
I “ Two of yoor sons are already loaded with
favours. The eldest, who is not yet twenty, is
chief of o squadron in my army ; and tbe younger
has obtained a prebend at Cologne, from the
Elector my brother. What would you have
more ? Would you have the first a general, and
the second a bishop?
u ln France you may see colonels in leading
strings; and in Spain, the royal princes com
mand armies even at eighteen ; hence prince
Stamhremberg forced them to retreat so often,
that they were never able, all the rest of their
lives, to comprehend any other manoeuvre.
“ It is necessary to be sincere at court, and se

nanimous without weakness, and to gain the es

and this madam is what I aim at.
