In the early settlement of Arkansas, a traveler, after riding some eight or ten n\iles without meeting a human being or seeing a human came at length, by a sudden turn of the wood-road, to a miserable ‘shanty/ the centre of a small clearing in what had originally been a ‘black-jack thicket,’ whence the only sound that proceeds is the discordant mu sic of a broken-winded fiddle, from the troubled bowels of which the occupant is laboriously extorting the monotonous tune known as ‘ The Arkansas or R'aek ensack Traveler/ Our traveler rides up within a few feei of the door, which was once the bed ftime of a cart body, now covered with bear-skias, and hung upon two big wooden binges. After much j shouting, the inmate appears, fiddle in i hand, and evidently ‘wrathy’ at being in- I terrupted in th</exercise of his art. The following colloquy ensues, the indefatiga ble fiddler still flaying the first strain of the ‘ Arkansas Traveler;’ which, in fact, he continues at sudden intervals until the dialogue, as'will'-be seen, is brought to an unexpected conclusion. If this be not ‘seeking knowledge under difficulties,’ we should like to know what might be legiti mately so considered. Traveler can I find accom modations ibr the night with you ? Arkansas Ard3t 7-jNo sir, nary commo dation. I Traveler.—My dear sir, I have already traveled thirty miles to-day, and neither myself nor my horse has had a mouthful to eat; w),iy caii’t you accommodate me for to-night? Ark. Artist.-|just ’cause it can’t he did. We’re plum out of everything to eat in the house.; Bill's gone to mill with the last nubbin of corn on these premises, and it’ll bo nigh onto the shank of to morrO|Wfo.vcning afore he comes home, un less somethin uncommon happens. , Traveler.— You surely have something that I can Teed io my horse ; even a few P9tatoes would be better than no food. Ark. Artist.— Stranger, our eadn .roots gin out about a Week ago ; so your chance is slim thar. Traveler.—But, my friend, I must re main with you, ahy way. I can’t go any further, whether)! obtain anything to eat or not. Yqu ceftainly will allow me the shelter of your roof? Ark. Artist.—it can’t be did, old boss. You see, we’ve got only one dried hide on the premises,: and me and the o.d wo man occupies that; so whar’s your chance? Traveler.—Allow me to hitch my horse to that persimmbp tree, and with my sad dle and Blanket I’ll make a bed in the fence corner. ; Ark. Artist.—Pitch your horSe.to that ’simmsn tree—ip a horn! Why, you must he .a nateral fool, strung rl Don't you see that’s uie and the old woman’s oply qhancp iprifsimmon beer in the fall of the year ? : If youri boss is so tarnal hungry as you spy’he is, he’d girdle it-as high up as he cpjtild reach’ afore morhin. Hitch youf hps| to that tree ! ' T ’spect not. Mo, jap, stranger, you don’t come nary such a dodge as that I v . Our irateier, seeing that he bad an original io |deal , and being himself an amateur performer upon the mjetra-* ment to the so ardently attached, thought ho would change ius tactics and draw his determined hot-to-be host out a little, before informing him of [iNIXfePENDENT IN EVERYTHING.] the fact that he, too, coaid play the 1 Ar kansas Tiaveler,* which once being known, he rightly conjectured would be apass - port to his better graces. Traveler.—-Well, friend, if I can’t stay, how far is it to the next bouse? Ark. Artist.—Ten miles, and you’ll think them mighty long ones, too, afore you get there. I came nigh onto forget tin to tell you the big creek is up) the bridge is carried off; there’s nary yearthly chance to ford it; and if yer bound to ctoss it, yer’ll hare to go about seven miles up the stream, to old Dave Lody’s puncheon bridge,, through one of the biggest bamboo swamps ever you see. I reckon tbe bridge is standin’ yet; 'twas yesterday mornin, though one end had started down stream about fifteen feet, or sich a manner. Traveler.—Friend, you seem communi cative, and if it’s no offence, I’d like to know what you do for a living. Ark. Artist.—No offence on yearth, stranger ; we just keep a grocery. Traveler.—A grocery ! Where, in tbe name of all that’s mercantile, do your customers come from? ‘ Your nearest neighbor is ten miles distant. Ark. Artist.—The fact is, mo and the old woman is the best customers yet; but wc ’spect these diggins will improve, and, in course, business will improve too. How’ever,swe do suthing now, even. Me and the old woman took the cart t’other day, and went to town; we bort a bar’l of whiskey; and arter we come home and j’gin ,to count the balance on hand, we j found thar warut but one solitary pica yune left ; and as the old woman alius j carries the puss, in coarse she had it. W ell, I sot the bar’l agin one side of the room, and shortly arter, the old woman sez: ‘ Supposin yon tap your end of the bar I,’ and I did; and she bought a drink and paid me a picayune. Pretty soon.

But, stranger, losses is apt to come with every business; and me i and the old woman has lost some in the j grocery line; and I’ll tell you how 'twas. The boy Bill, oldest, son, he see how the lickor was goin, and he didn’t have nary red to jine in the retail business; so one night he crawls under the bouse and taps the bar’l atwixt the cracks in the puncheon floor; and I rally believe he’s got more than me or tbe old woman ither; the goad for nothin vagabond, to come the ‘ gaiff over his nateral born parents; its enuff to make a man sour agin all cre ation ; that boy will be the ruination of us yet. He takes to trickery as nateral as a hungry possum to a hen roost Now. stranger, what on yearth am I to do ? He beats me ana the old woman entirely. Traveler —lt would be difficult for me to advise in regard to your son, as I havg no family of my own. You say it is ten miles to the next Louse; the big creek is up; die bridge carried away; no possibil ity of fording it, and seven miles through a swamp to the only bridge in the vicini ty ! This is rather- a gloomy prospect, particularly as the sun is just down ; still my curiosity is excited, and as you have been playing only one part of t|ie ‘ Arkan sas Traveler' ever since my arrival, ][ would like to know, before I go, why you don’t play the tune through .. Ark. Artist.—For one of the best rea sons on yearth, old boss—l can’t do it. I haint larnt the turn of that tchune, and drat me if I believe I ever shall. Traveler.—Give me your instrument, and 111 see if I can play the turn for you. Ark. Artist.—Look here, my friend, do you play the turn of that tchune ? Traveler.—l believe I can. Ark. Artist.—'Lite, ’lite, old boss ! we will find’a place for you in the cabin, sure. Old woman! (a ‘halloo!’ within the shantee was the first indication the tra veler had of any other human being on the premises;) the stranger plays the turn of the ‘ Hackensack Traveler.’ My friend, hitch your boss to, the ’simmon tree, or anywhere else you please. Bill ’ll be here soon, and he’ll take keer of him. Old woman, you call Sail and Nance up from the spring; tell Nance to go into the spring-house and cut off a good large-piece of bear-steak,‘ to brile for the stranger’s supper; tell Sal to knock over a chicken or two, and get out some flour, and have some flour-doiu’s and chicken fixen’s for the s.ranger. (Bill just heaves in sight, twenty-four hours* earlier than he was ex pected a half hour before ) Bill, 0 Bill! there’s a stranger here, and he plays the tdro of the ‘ Hackensack Traveler;’ go to the corn-crib and get a big punkiu, and bring it to the house, so the stranger can hftve somethin to‘sit oh, andi skin a tutor ’long with me and the old woman, while the gals is gettin supper; and Bill, take i the boss* and give him plenty of corn | no nubbins. Bill; then rub him down well; and then, when you como to 'the house* Bring up a dried hide and a bar-skin for the stranger to sleep on; and then, Bill, I reckon, he’ll play the tarn of ‘ Rsckcn -1 sack Traveler’ for us. The punkin was brought/ thetsterr were skinned and eaten; theturn-of the ‘Hackensack Traveler’ repeatedly played, to abundant edification;and the gals finally announced that topper was ready; and although instead; of atpre tea they had only ‘ aaxifax-tea-doins,’ without milk, yet the repast was one to be long and gratefully remembered.

An Indian Romance. The Philadelphia Presi has-!a long ro mance about the Wyoming Valley, and a young girl, Frances Slocum, who was sto len away when very young by the In dians. A letter was received by the Slocum family, residing in Lancaster, from Mr. Ewing of Logansport, Indiana, in which he desired to know if any of the Slocum family lived in that neighborhood. He detailed in this letter his visit to an In dian cabin, and his discovery of the long lost Frances Slocum, who had been stolen from her father’s family (Mr., Jonathan Slocum) some fifty-eight years’ before by the Indians, and by them carried into captivity. Rev. Samuel Bowman, now assistant Bishop of Pennsylvania, interes ted himself very much in the matter. By his advice and assistance, the Slocum sought the little Frances sixty years after captivity, and find her at the home of the Miami Indians. They go into the cabin, where they see an Indian womtfnvhaving the appearance of seventy-five yeirs of age, painted, jewelled, and dressed like an In dian queen ; nothing but her hair and col ored skin indicate her origin. By the aid of an interpreter they con verse, and are satisfied that thip is their long lost sister. She has forgotten her Christian name and the very language of her race, though she responded to Pran ces, and admitted in her Indufh dialect that was her name. While her brothers I and sisters sat sobbing and weepin" at this strange revelation, the jtoOr Indian woman was motionless aqd passionless.— She had become one of another people; she had been married, and reared two daughters, both married, and living in all the glory of an Indian cabin, deerskin clothing, and cowhide head dresses.— For Indians she bdlonged to a rich comn nity, owned houses, could use the rifle, bridle her own horses, mount a la Turk, whenever she desired todoso. She could sleep on the floor or on the bare earth, wrapt in her blanket, as soundly as her wealthy relatives slept in their beautiful residence in the Valley of the Wyoming. They tried to petsuade her to return, but she refused to do so. She bad: always lived with the Indians since her Capture; they had always been kind to ber, and she promised, to her late husband' , on his deathbed that she would never leave the Indian country k When we aue Gone,—“Generation after generation,” says a fine writer, “ have felt as we feel, and their lives wore as ac tive as oar own. They passed away like a vapor, while Mature wore the isame as pect of beaaty as when her Crcatpr com manded her to be.

The Greekaburol the °f the distinguished men with funeral feasts and the lamentation of hind weepers, though they generally displayed a less sumptuous grief and better regal*, ted piety. The Persians hurried the bodies of the dead ; the Scythians ate them: the Indians enveloped them for preserve, tion a sake m a sort of looker; the Bm. tians embalmed and dried them, exfibi. ted them on festal days, placed them at the table among their guests, guarded them as their most precious possessions and loaned and borrowed money on these steahge pledges. In our time the custom of dancing at funerals is only practised in India and among some savage nations* but funeral entertainments stiu prevail In in many European countries. Among others the ceremony of interment is sol* emu and silent, which nevertheless does hot interfere with the wish that all may be forgotten as speedily as posable. Wo observe more ostentatious rites for persona of consequence. Thoir carriages follow them to the graves, and some times their horses are paraded, which, having been made to .fast, seem to partake of the afflic*" tions of the occasion. The whom we borrow this custom/ went for* ther—they made their horses in funeral processions weep, by blowing a particular kind of powder up their nostrils. 1 v In Italy the mourning was formerly. whise for women, and brown for men.~ In China it is white; in Ethiopia, gray.-~ Each of these colors had orriginally its mystical signification. White is the em* b em of purity; celestial blue indicates the space whore the soul ranges after earth'; yellow, or the' the tinge of dead, leaves, exhibits death as the end of autumn, gray represents the color of the earth, our eom moo mother; and black, the funeral con* tame now adopted throughout Europe.nod America, is an allusion to the night? In England the sovereign never wears black; he is clothed in dark purple as mourning. Till the reign of Charles Vlil, • white was the funeral garb in Frnnne>~~ The Emperor Leopold, who died in 1704, used to suffer his beard to grow in diunrdtV during the whole period of mourning. In this he imitated the dews. The dow ager-empresses never left off weeds, and their apartments were hung -with black until their death. The Chancellor of Prance is the only person who ever wean mourning. The brothers, nephews and cousins of popes, never wear it; the hap* - piness of having a pope in the family is too great to allow them to be affected even by his death. « Bat the most remarkable of al)‘these usages is, perhaps, that of the peoploldf those ancient nations who dressed them- selves as women when they lost their re latives, in. order, it is said, that the ridi cule attached to their vestments might make them ashamed of their grief. How THE HOONBMAN MONKEYSKItL Snakes.- —The banyan tree is a invoiced habitation of these monkeys, and among its many branches they play strange ‘ an tics, undisturbed by any foes excepting snakes. These repUles are greatly dreaded by the monkeys, and with good' reason. However, it is said that the monkeys kill more snakfes in proportion to then own loss, and do so with a peculiarly refined cruelty. A snake may be polled among the branches of the banyan fast asleep; when it is spied by an Hoonnnuuu After satisfying himself that thereptilo really is sleeping, the monkey steals npbn it noiSelessly, grasps it by the neck, iean it from the branch, and hurries tather ground. He then runs to a flat stone, and begins to grind down the reptiles hdad upon it, grinning and chattering with do* s light at the writings and useless strug gles of the tortured snake, and ocoarion ally inspecting His wprk to see how it is' progressing. When he has nibbed away the poor animal's jaws, so as to deprive it of its poison fangs, he holds great re joicings oyer Ms helpless ibe, and toainsg it to the yonng monkeys, looks complsF cently at its destruction.
