GAIETY.
‘Whom call we gay ? That has been long
The boast of mere pretenders to the name.
The innocent are gay
But save me from the gaiety of those,
Whose head-achs nail them to the noon-day beds
And save me too from theirs, whose haggard eyes
Fla‘h desperation, and betray tbeir pangs
For property stripp’d off by cruel chance ;
From gaiety that fills the bones with pain.
The mouth with blasphemy, the heart tcith wo !

KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM.
Knowledge and Wisdom, far from being one,
Have oftimes no connexion. Knowledge resides
In heads replete with thoughts of other men ;
Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.
Knowledge is proud that he has learnt so much ;
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

MISCELLANY.
From the Port Folio.
THE MISSOURI TRAPPER.
The ingenious author of Robinson Cru
tfoe has shown, by an agreeable fiction, (hat
man may exist in a desert, without the so
ciely or aid of his fellow creatures, and un
assisted by those contrivances of art which
are deemed indispensable id a state of civ
ilized society; that nature will supply all
his absolute wants, and that his own ingenu
ity will suggest ways and means of living
which are not dreamt of in the philosophy
of polished circles. That which the novel
ist deemed barely possible and which a
large portion of his readers have always
considered as marvellously incredible, is
now daily and hourly reduced to practice in
our western forests. Here may be found
many a Crusoe clad in skins, and conlented
ly keeping “ Bachelors hall,” in the wild
woods, unblessed by the smile of beauty,
unebeered by the voice of humanity—with
out even a “man Friday” for company, and
ignorant of the busy world, its cares, its
pleasures or its comforts.
But the solitary wight whose cabin is
pit.-hed in the deepest recess of the forest,
wtose gun supplies his. table, and whose
dog is Ins only comrade, enjoys ease and
Comfort, in comparison with the trapper,
whose erratick steps lead him continually
into new toils and dangers. Being compel
led to procure his subsistence by’ very pre
carious means from day to day, in those im
mense regions of wilderness into which he 1
fearlessly penetrates, he is often known to j
live for a considerable period upon food j
which the hungry wolf would pause foraj
polite interval before carving. The ordin i
ary food of a trapper is corn and buffalo;
tallow, aud although his rifle frequently!
prepares more dainty viands, he is often,on !
the other haud, forced to devour his peltry i
and gnaw his moccasins.
An old man arrived at Fort Atkinson in j
June last, from (he Upper Missouri, who
was instantly recognized by some of the of
ficer* ol the garrison, as an individual sup
posed some time since to have been devour !
ed by a white hear, but more recently re
ported to have been slain by the Anckara
ludians. His name is Hugh Glass. Wheth !
er old Belaud, or Scotch Irish Pennsylvania,!
Claims the honour of his nativity, I have not
ascertained with precision, nor do I suppose
that Ute bumble fortunes of the hardy ad
venturer will excite a rivalry on the subject
stun ar to that respecting the birth place of
Jdotner. The following is his own account
ot himseli lor the last ten months of his per
ilous career:
He was employed by Maj. Henry as a
trapper, and was attached to his command
before Ibe Arickara (owns. Afterthe flight
ot lhe*e Indians, the Major and party set
out lor Ihe Yellow Stone River. Their
route lay up the Grand River, and through
a piairie country, occasionally interspersed
wt.h (bickets of brush-wood, dwarf plumb
(reus, and other shrubs, indigenous to a san
<!y barren soil. As these adventurers usu
ally draw their food, as well as their rai
men, from Nature’s spacious ware-house,
it is usual for one or two huoters to precede
the party m search of game, that the whole
may not be forced, at night, to lie down
supperless. The rifle of Hugh Glass being
esteemed as among the most unerring, he
was ou one occasion detached for supplies.
He was a short distance in advance cf the
patty, and forcing hi* way through a thick
et, when a white bear that had imbedded 1
htrsi-lf m the sand, arose within three yards
ot rum, and before he could “set his trig-!
gers, ’ or turn to retreat, he was seized by
Hie throat, and raised from the ground.
Casting him again upon the earth, his grim
adversary tore out a mouthful of the canni
bal fooJ which bad excited her appetite, I
aud retired to submit the sample to her
yearling cubs, which were near at hand, j
1 ne sufferer now made an effort to escape,!
but the bear immediately returned with a ‘
reinforcement, aod seized !mn again at the 1
shoulder; she also lacerated tin left arm J
rery touch, and inflicted a severe wound ou
the back of hi* head. In this second attack, 1
the cubs were prevented from participating
by one of the party, who had rusbed forward
to the relief of his comrade. One of the
subs, however, forced the new-comer tore
treat into Ibe river, where, standing to the
middle in water, he gave his foe a mortal
shot. Meantime the main body of trappers
having arrived, advanced to the relief of
Glass, and delivered seven or eight shots
with such unerring aim as to terminate hog
tilitieo, by despatching the bear a* she stood
fiver her victim.
Glass was thus snatched from the grasp
of the ferocious animal, yet bis condition
was far from being enviable. He had re
ceived several daDgprous wound*; his
Whole budy was bruised and mangled, and
he lay weltering in his Wood, in exquisite
torment. To procure surgical aid, now so
desirable, was impossible ; and In remove
the sufferer was equally so. The safely of
ihe whole parly —being now in the country
of hostile Indians—depended on the celeri
ty of tbeir movements. To remove the
lacerated aod helpless Glass, seemed cer-,
tain death to him —and to the rest of the j
| parly such a measure would have been j
fraught with danger. Under these rircum ;
stances, Major Henry, by offering an exlrav
agant reward, induced two of his party to
remain with the wounded man until he
should expire, or until he could so far re
cover as to bear removal to some ol Ihe
trading establishments in that country.
They remained with their patient live days,
and supposing his recovery no longer possi
ble, they cruelly abandoned him, taking
with (hem his rifle, shot pouch, &c. and
leaving him no means of either making fire
or procuring food. These unprincipled
wretches proceeded on the trail of their
employer, and when they overtook him,
reported that Glass had died of his wounds,
and that they had interred him in the best
manner possible. They produced his et
fec*s in confirmation of their assertions, and
readily obtained credence.
Meanwhile poor Glass, retaining a slight |
hold upon life, when he found himself aban- j
doned, crawled with great difficulty to a’
spring which was within a few yard*, where
he lay ten days.
During this period he subsisted upon
cherries that hung over the spring, and
grains des bxufs , or buffalo berries, that
were within hi* reach. Acquiring, by slow
’ degrees, a little strength, he now set off for
fort Kiawa, a trading establishment on the
Missouri River, about three hundred and
fifty miles di*<aut. It required no ordinary
portion of fortitude to crawl to the end of
*uch a journey, through a hostile country,
without fire-arms, with scarcely strength to
drag one limb after another, and with almost
no other subsistence than wild berries. He
had, however, Ihe good fortune one day to
he “ in at the death of a buffalo calf,’ which
i was overtaken and slain by a pack of
i wolves. He permitted the assailants to
carry on the war, until no signs of life re
mained in their victim, and then interfered
and took possession of the ‘•fatted calf’ but j
a* he bad no means of striking fire, we may 1
infer that he >'id not make a very prodigal
use of the veal thus obtained. With inde- j
fatigable industry he continued to crawl un
til he reached Fort Kiawa.
Before his wounds were entirely healed,
the chivalry of Glass was awakened, and he
j joined a party of five engages , who were
I bound, in a piroqnc , to Yellow Stone River.
! The primary object of this voyage was de
j niarpd to be Ihe recovery of his arms, and
| vengeance on the recreant who had robbed
j and abandoned him in the hour of his peril.
When the party had ascended to within a
j few miles of the old Mandan village, our
; trapper of hair-breadth ’scapes, landed for
j the purpose of proceeding to Tilton’s fort,
| at that place, by a nearer route than that of
I the river.
On the following days, all the companions
of this voyage were massacred by the Arick
I ara Indians. Approaching the fort with
j some caution, he observed two squaws
j whom he recognised as Arickaras, and who,
discovering him at the same time, turned
I and fled. This was the first intelligence he
’ obtained of the fact, that lh< Artckaras had
taken post at the Mandan village, and he at
once perceived the danger of his situation.
The squaws were not long in rallying the
warrtours of thi* tribe, who immediately
commenced the pursuit. Suffering still un
der the severity of his recent wounds, the
poor fugitive made a feeble essay at flight,
and his enemies were within rifle shot'of
him when two Mandan mounted warriors
ru*hed forward and seized him. Instead of
despatching their prisoner, as be had anti
cipated, they mounted him on a fleet horse,
which they had brought onl for that pur
pose, and carried him into Tilton’s Fort,
without injury.
The same evening, Glass crept out of the
fort, and after travelling thirty-eight days
alone, and through the country of hostile
Indians, he arrived at Henry’s eslatilish
meat.
Finding that the trappers he was in pur
suit of, had gone to fort Atkinson, Glass
readily consented to be the bearer of letter*
for that post, and accordingly left Henry’s
fort, on the Big Horn River, on the 28th of
February, 1824. Four men accompanied
him. They travelled across the Powder
river, which empties itself into the Yellow
Stone, below the mouth of the Horn. They
pursued their route up the Powder to its
source, aod thence across to the Platte.
Here they constructed skin boats, aud de
scended in them to the lower end of Les
Cotes Noirs, (the Black Hills) where they
j discovered thirty eight lodges of Arickara
’ Indians. This was the encampment of
Grey Eyes’ hand. That Chief had been
| killed in the attack of the American troops
; upon his village, and the tribe was notv un
j tier the command of Language .de Biche
J (Elk’s tongue.) This warriour came down
i and invited our little party ashore, and, by
many professions of friendship, induced
them to believe him to be sincere.
Glass had once resided with this tonguey
, old politician during a long winter, had join
ed him in the chace and smoked his pipe,
and cracked many a bottle by the genial
fire of his wigtvaon ; and when be had land
ed, Ihe savage chief embraced him with the
cordiality of an old friend. The whites
were (brown off their guard, and accepted
an invitation to smoke in the Indian’s lodge.
While engaged in passing the hospitable
pipe, a small child was beard to utter a sus
picious scream. Glass looked towards the
door of the lodge, and beheld the squaws
of the tribe bearing off the arms and other
effects of his party. Thi* was the signal
for a general movement; guests sprang
I from their seats, and fled with precipita
tion, pursued by their treacherous enter
tainers.
Two ol the party were overtaken and
put to death, one of them within a few yards
ot Glass, who had gained a point of rocks
uoperceived, and lay concealed from the
view of his pursuers. Versed in all the
arts of border warfare our adventurer was
enabled to practice them in the present cri
j sis with such success as to baffle hi* blood
thirsty enemies; and be remained in his
lurking place until the search was abandon
ed in despair. Breathing once more a free
air, he sallied forth under cover of ihe night,
and resumed his line of march towards Fort
Kiawa. The Buffalo calves, at that season j
of the year, were generally but a few days!
old; and as the country through which he!
travelled was abundantly stocked with;
them, he found it no difficult task to over- j
take one as often as his appetite admonish ;
ed to task his speed for that purpose. * Al-1
though,’ said he, ‘I had lost my rifle and!
all my plunder, I felt quite rich when 1 found \
my knife, flint and steel, in my shot ponch.
These little fixen*,’ he added, * make a man
feel right peart , when he is three or four
hundred miles from any body or any place — j
all alooe among the painters and wild var
ments ’
I A journey of fifteen days brought him to
Fort Kiawa. Thence he descended to Fort
I Atkinson, at the Council Bluffs, where he
found his old traitorous acquaintance in thp
garb of a private soldier. This shielded
the delinquent from chastisement. The
commanding officer at the post ordered his
rifle to be restored: and the veteran trap
per was furnished with such other appliatt
ces, or fixens, as he would term them, as pu;
him in plight agaia to take the field. This
appeased the wrath of Hugh Glass, whom
my informant left, astounding, with his won
derful narration, the gaping rank and file of
the garrison.
TATTLERS.
This species of mortal* are more or less an an
noyance to domestic!! happiness in most parts of
the world. They often goon with impunity from
one tattling story to another, until scandal and
defamation constitute a principle part of their en
joyment. Instances of the baneful effects of this
kind of gossippmg, is at every one’, door, and
very few escape the malicious sarcasms of the tat
tler. Unfortunately we have no.statute in our land
! punish them, but such as are become absolete.
j In former times indeed, in England, “ the duck
i ing stool” was held in terrorem over such gross
! offenders, but now the venom of the human
tongue is left to the cognizance of the civil law,
which seldom reaches the real offender. Hence
a poor inoffensive man is often punished for the
indiscretions of the tongue of his dearly beloved
help-mate.
Catharine of Russia, though her private life af
forded an ample field for the exercise of this pas
sion, yet she was not.proof against its effects,how
ever true the tattle might have been. She per
haps concluded that it was no business of the tat
tlers to interfere, and she determined to punish
their ofliciousness,
A young Russian lady, of the first rank in Pe
tersburgh, married the Count M. who bad former
ly been a favourite with the Empress. It seems
that her curiosity wormed many secrets from her
husband respecting bis intimacy at court, and that
she tattled them to her female friend*, as great
secrets, through the city of Moscow, where she
resided.
No! long after, just as the lady and her hus
band were resigning themselves to sleep, thev
were alarmed by a knocking at their chamber
door, which the husband unbolted, when a stout
police officer entered with a large rod in one hand
and the imperial order in the other- The Count
was ordered to go on to the further side of the
bed, and to make no disturbance, as in the next
room there were several brethren of this summa
ry minister in waiting. The lady was then or
dered to descend from the bed, just as she was,
and lay her herself upon the flour; the oflicer then
tied her hands and feet and gave her a severe
whipping. When he had finished this discipline,
he loosened her, raised her up, and said, “ this is
the punishment which the Empress inflicts upon
tattlers ; and for the next offence you go to Sibe
ria.’’ Ihe story soon buzzed about, and wherever
the tattle of the young lady had gone, it occasion
ed a tittle.
Eighth Wonder of the World.— The comple
tion of the Grand Canal of New York, it is ex
pected, will take place about the middle of Sept,
when boats can proceed from Lake Erie to New
York The distance is 414 miles. Cost of the
canal estimated at $10,123,789. The whole ca
nal debt, it is calculated, will he extinguished in
ten years, after which the Canal will yield a reve
nue of one million dollars per annum.

reply to- the Mayor of St. Louis, spoke of the
American Union in the following language :
“ An union, sir, so essential, not only to the
fate of each member of the confederacy, but also
to the general fate of mankind, that the least
breach of it would be hailed with barbarian joy,
by an universal war-whoop of European aristocra

“ It is composed entirely as its title implies, of
selections (tom foreign journals. A few words
may show that it is, however, far from being ad
verse to our own institutions or literature—and
that on the contrary, it may have an important
effect in preventing the dissemination of doctrines
in discordance with the principles upon which
our society is constituted. Some of the British
Reviews and Magazines are reprinted in this
country exactly as they appear at home, and they
as well ns those which are not published here,
embrace much matter ot little interest and no ad
vantage to our readers—and which is not unfre
queiilly fitted to vitiate their literary taste, their
murals, and their political principles. But while
it cannot be denied that there is in all these for
eign journals a large part which consists of details
and speculations which are uninteresting to Amer
ican readers, or mischievous in their political or
moral tendency, it is equally Cirtain that a con
siderable portion of their contents is of general
application and of interest and value, and that
they embrace much that is in a very high degree
interesting and curious—practical, sound and
able—refined and elegant ; much that will excite
thought and refine the imagination—that will
“raisethe genius and mend the heart.” Aud
when we consider that the greatest philosophers
and statesmen, as well as poets, criticks, and all
other men of literature, now find the periodical
press the channel through which their opinions
can be conveyed to the greatest number of men,
it will appear very evident, that a knowledge of
what is thus writteD and done abroad is necessary
to the successful cultivation of our own literature*
and important to the politician, scholar and uraf.
of business, as well as to him who reads only for
amusement.
To persons who reside at a distance frem the
great depositories of New Books and New Inven
tions, a work conducted upon this plan is pecu
liarly important, as affording to them an opportu
nity of keeping pace in some degree with the pro
gress of knowledge, at a very trifling expense of
money or time.
When it is added that most of the literature of
the day is riot easily accessible in any other than
this form to omfamilies, it will readily be ac
knowledged that a work conducted upon tr.e
plan of the Museum may be in a very considera
ble degree interesting or valuable. How far tiffs
Journal has been successful in endeavouring to
merit the*e appellations, must be determined by
the publick ; and the rapid increase of the sub
scription list is the most gratifying proof of suc
cess.”
