If taken aright then, the words, " when we r? giie," may produce profitable results; tor we can hardly think much of going, without making some preparation tor ti. change ; and what a cl.augc ! i.,(e for death, this earth for another world, and time for eternity ! "When we are gone," some tl.at are dear to us will walk in the paths that we now tread, visit the places we now frequent, gaze on the scenes that we now admire, aad pause amid them to muse and moral ize and spiritualise, as we do now, on the past, the present, and the future. What will they think of us? How will they feel towards us? We can not gaze on delightful scenes with the knowledge that they will be in existence when we are gone, without re garding them with more than common in terest ; nor can we think of our fellow be ings who may then enjoy them, without friendly emotions in their faTor. Th voice of nature, pleading in every human breast, prompts within us the desire to be remembered with kindness by those who survive us. Callous indeed must be his heart who would willingly sink into the grave anlamentedjUnhonored and forgotten We shall all leave behind us some tra ces of our existence when we are gone, and their character will depend on our conduct while we are here. Oh let us be in ear nest in acting uprightly, in forgiving inju ries, in manifesting mercy, and in setting an example in holy conversation and god liness. ' Let our language be " Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.'' Let us put away churlishness, hard-heartedness, anger and pride, and cultivate gentleness, charity, hu mility and affection. Why should we be borne in mind with bitterness ? Rather let the poor remember us gratefully, our neighbors recall ns to their recollection without reproach, and our friends speak kindly and affectionately and lovingly of OS WHEN WE ARE GONE. "Well," said old Mrs. Partington, as .she leaned forward, with her hands resting on the window ledge, and peered out into the street through a chink in the blinds, " I hope that man is married, I declare I do, because if he isn't I'm sure he never will be, for a dreadfuller looking critter I never did see, with them raustyehokes, on his mouth, nobody would'nt have him. I've heerd'em say that heaven's best gift to man is woman, but I should say that the next would be a razor to such a man as that People didn't take pride in looking bad in olden times.''

Itwacmy lot in early life to be cast into the society of some of the first settlers tu ihe valley of the Juniata, and to hear uiany tales ot tne "Hair breith escapes and thrilling incidents which befel those hardy adventurers in the desultory and vindictive warfare they had waged with tho aborigines of the soil. Holding a title to the land, having its origin beyond the reach of tradition, their just claim hmi been fully acknowledged in all our treaties ' or transactions of a pubjie character with : the Indian tribes : they mnst, therefore, ' have had reason to entertain a jealous alarm at the continued encroachment of the white man upon their rightful inheri- tance. - impending mainly as they did for au..,u uj,uu .ut-r..iiio wsmi:u auuumieu , in their forest ; and for articles of the first necessity, to tbe small traffio in skins and i 1.-1. .1 . ..... I peltry which they carried on with the reg ular trader ; as might be expeoted, they would regard with much distrust, and little favor, the occupation of their streams and hunting grounds, by those whose superior means and appliances gave them great ad vantages over them in the exercise of their own peculiar craft. Quarrels unavoidably arose, which repeated aggressions tended to inflame and exasperate ; and a war of extermination was the unhappy conse quence. As there were few among tbe pioneers of tbe settlement, who had not mourned over some friend or relative fallen beneath the murderous tomahawk and scalping knife, it is difficult, at this day, to con ceive the biterness of tbe hatred engen dered in their breasts against their ruthless foes who, in their turn, for the wrongs too often inflicted upon them, had sought an indiscriminate and bloody venceauce. Too often, happy was tbe lot of the captive wnom sudden death had rescued from the most cruel and protracted tortures which savage ingenuity could invent or vengeance inflict. And yet, there were not wantinc many instances wherein ' these vindictive feelings gave place to ihe prompting of a better spirit, and the unhappy prisoner, destined for the stake and the fagot, was frequently snatched from the flames to supply in some lone heart the place , of a lost son, or a beloved . daughter. (Uow beautiful a trait of Indian character is here developed, in a custom that discovers a refinement of feeling, and a sensibility to the finest impulses of our natare, at variance with all bar preoonceived ideas of savage life, and proves the strength of LEWISBURG, UNION COUNTY, PENN., WEDNESDAY,, DECEMBER 24, ,1851. those holy ties with which thee ehildren ' of the wild wood were Gruily bound to- 1 gether.) !

F ' tney made a precipitate retreat . through the mountains. J They were immediately pursued by all the disposable force at Standing Stone, which Brotherton arrived in time to join. The party was headed by an old hunter, who, following the trail with tho instinct of a blood-hound, came upon the place of their first uight encampment among the laurels of Tussey's mountain. On the fol lowing day, in tracing their footsteps over some boggy ground, they remarked with pleasure that the slight shoes of 'Miss Brotherton, worn through the preceding day's march, were now replaced by a sub stantial pair of moccasius. After this discovery, the leader of tho party, a man experienced in the warfare' and customs of the Indians, proposed a consultation, and addressing himself to Brotherton, the one of the party most deeply interested.advbcd him, as the -most prudent . course, on his daugiit-r's account to give up tho pursuit, as it was now evident they meaut to treat her kindly, and that if overtaken and find ing themselves encumbered .With tho pri souer, the y would most probably put her to death; rather tbali that she should fall into their hands.

Spread abroad before their eyes, lay a scene rich in pic turesque and quiet beauty. The last rays of the getting sun were resting upon the summits of the hills, whilst the deep Tal lies between were darkening in the shadows of evening. The soft low murmurings which rose upon the evening breese, were sent up from the beautiful Juniata, glimp ses of which could be seen as it flashed in light, through various cpenirgs amongst the hills, until it was lost to sight in the dark defiles of the distant mountains. Pointing to the residence of her parents, the Indian thus addressed the fair captive 'Or .n can go no farther. Tbo friends of the White Dovo arc still the mortal foes of tho lied men.

' lie then sat down, and buried his faee fn "bis hands, to' await in silence a decision which was to be to him a message of weal or wo- yet firm in his lofty purpose to leave her choice free ; he hid said all that became a great warrior to say, and he could not owe to gratitude a boon, which fow alone should ever bestow.

Better Times. The Bar is fast losing its attractions to the young men of this city. There arc now thirty young gentlemen that have re ceived liberal educations who are "serving their times" aa shipwrights, architects. carpenters, &.c.

The uniou of a substantial .education with mechanical skill,, will effect this. Indeed, already we could name some mcchaniewho8xe excel lent mathematicians, acquainted with Ger man and French, and able to study tho books in those- languages connected with their vocations. Heretofore, fond fathers werq won to educate their sons as doctors and lawyers, to ensure their respectability and. success. . That day is past.

Inflaeace of Colds on Bom an Health. tab ins cat aaaw of mvurcM iaaa. , The editors have often expressed the opiniou that colds were one of two of the most prolific causes of human disease and premature death. Thus, let a person o) -predieposel ever so much to consumption, as long as he can keep from taking eold-, his consumptive tendency will lie dor mant till he is old; yet even those of sound langj often induce this disease ?.j severe and repeated cold-. Those wTir" are afflicted or have afiiicted themselves with rheumatics, if they can k-ep from ta-. king colds, get slung tonafortably ; but the moment they get a cold, rheumatic pains torture the in iu exact proportion to its severity ani duration. Those wh"o decayed teeth ache, at times, saffer oul . when tbey hare takn a cold, and to break up that c?M, is to kill such a toothache. Constipation of t'ua bowels, and all i's evil, are greatly aggravated by cold?. So are palpitation of the heart, indigestion, f a 9vri-.s, buiis, and. in iaci, every species oi disease. And what are tbe various forms of fevers but colls? .No fever ever yet occurred not induced, directly, by a sever cjPL Not but that other causes of fevers exist ludced, fevers are only fires, kin dled by nature, to burn up morbid matters in the system, and are friends to life, and hence should cot be broken up, but al lowed to uuload the system of disease; yet, as long as the pores are kept open, such morbid matter is unloaded about as fast as it accumulates, whereas, just aa soon as this avenue of escape is closed by colds and in what else do colds consist but iu closing such avenues? this morbid matter accumulates to such a degree aa to essen tially interfere with, if not threaten, tho life-power, which power kindles up this fever-fire to burn out this rubbish. Fevers always greatly increase the respiration, or amount of air, and of course, oxygen in haled, which is another proof of this theo ry. What does the oxygen we inspire do but combine with the carbon elaborated by the stomach ? Nothing whatever Of ' course whatever increases the supply of oxven, thereby proportionally enhances the consumption of carbon, whieh fuvers do. My theory of disease is, that almost all forms and degrees of disease are conse quent on the Safperabandafice of carbon in the system, and hence that the two chief causes of disease are colds and over-eating the former arresting the evacuation of this carbon through the skin,and thus over-' loading the system, and tbe hitter supply-. ing an excess of this element ' And this theory of disease is strengthened by the' fact, that of all other means of killing colds, fasting is theTmost effectual. ' Let whoever has a cold eat nothing whatever for two days, and his eold will be gone,' provided he is not confined in bed ; be cause by taking no carbon into the system by food, but consuming that surplus which caused his disease by breath, he soon ear-' ries off his disease by removing its cause.' And this plan of fasting will be found the" more effectual if he adds copious water drinking to ' protracted fasting. , By the time1 a person, able to be about, but suffer ing, however severely, from a cold, hat fasted One entire day and night, he will begin to experience a relief, a lightness, a freedom from pain, and a clearness of mind in delightful contrast with that men-' tal stupor and physical pain caused by colds. And how infinitely better this method of breaking up colds and freeing the system of disease, than medicines, es pecially than violent poisons! ' : Several physiological facts and observa tions, gleaned by intercourse with men' in different and opposite situations in life, have greatly surprised me, jet are perfect ly explainable in the above theory. Ona of these facts appertains to the lumber men of Maine and Northern New England. From the time they go into the pine region, in September or October, till they return, in May or June, they are rarely ever sick, or have the slightest cold or ailment of any kind; and yet they livo in log cabins, fn of airholes, and a large opening on the, p for the exit of smoke ; sleep on bemlock boughs, with cne ,largo blanjrcl under and another over some eight or ten of them ; eat only before delight, mornings nd alter it. niwriL- .,;i,. k t . j I Tinel.' w.et. -.
