Prom A iIdIILIDICh
PERILOUS PRAIRIE ADVENTURE,
On My turn from the Upper Mississip
pi, Vomit! myself obliged to cross one .or
' the Nifide prairies, which, in that portion of
the United States, vary the aripearance of
the country. The weather was fine, all
around-me was as fresh and blooming as'
if it had just issued from the bosom of na
ture; my knapsack, my gun and dog, were:
all I had for baggage and company. Thal
although well moccasoned, I moved slowly
along, attracted by the brilliancy of the'
flowers, and the gambols of the fawn a
round their dams, to all appearance as
thoughtless of danger as myself.' . Aly
emelt was oflong.doration; I saw the sun
sinking lichind die horizon long before I :
could perceive any appeatance of wood
land, and nothing in the shape of man had
i niet•with that day. The track that Iliad
followed was only an Indian trail. and as
barrenness overshadowed the prairie, I felt
some' desire to reach at least a copse, in
'Which I:might lie dawn to rest. The night
hawks were swimming over and around
me, attracted by the buzzing wings of the
beetles, which form their food, and the
distant howlings of wolves gave me sonic
hope that I should soon' arrive at the skirt
of some woodland.
I did so, and almost at the same instant
a fire-light attracted my eyes. 4 moved
toward it fultof confidence that it proceed
ed from the camp of some wandering In
dians. I was mistaken; I discoVered by
its , glare that it proceeded from the hearth
of a Mall log cabin, and that a tall figure
passed between it and me, as if busily en
gaged in household arrangements.
I• reached the spot, and presenting my
self al:the door, asked the tall figure, which
proved to be a. woman, if I might take
„:
shelter under her roof for the night. Her
' voice was gruff, and her attire negligently
I
thrown around her. She answered iti the
affirmative::: 1 walked in, took a wooden
stool and stinted myself by the fire. The
next object that attracted my attention was
a fine-formed young Indian, resting DO his
hands, with his elbows on his knees. A
long bow rested against the wall near him,
.
while a quantity of - arrows and two or
three racoon skins-lay at his feet. He:
moved nut; he apparently breathed net.—
Accustomed to the habits of the Indians, and :
' knowing that thiiy pay but little attention
to the approach of civilized strangers, (a
circumstance which in some countries is
considered as evincing their apathy of char
actor.) . .
I. addressed him in French, a language
not unfrequerttly partially known to the
people of
,that neighborhood. He raised
his head, pointing to one „of his eye's with
his finger, and gave me a significant glance
with the other. His fiee was covered with
blood. • The fact was, that an hour before
this, as he was in the act of 'discharging
an arrow at a racoon in the top Of a tree,
the arrow bad split upon the chords and
sprinig . hck with Gael' *fence into :his
right eye, as to'dcstioy itforever. ..- .

j The Indian rose from his seat as if in
extreme suffering. He passed and repas
sed me several times, and pinched Me on
the side so violently, that the ,painme,arly
brought an exclamation of anger. I looi,led
at him; his. eye met mine; but his !mak
was so forbidding, that it struck a chill it r-,
to the mbremervons part of my,system.—
He again seated himself; drew-his butcher
knife from its 'greasy 7 S - eabbard; examined
its edge as ! would tha't•of -a razor suspect
ed of being - dull, replaced it and again tak
ing his tomahawk from, his back, filled the
pipe of it with tobacco, and sent me ex
pressive glances whenever our hostess
chanced to have her back, towards us
Never mita that moment had my senses

WILLIS!S INTERVIEW. WITH DICKENS„
The New York correspondent of the
National Intclligencer gives the following,
interesting reiniscence of his first interview
wit,h - "Boz"now, we regret to zee, in pc- .
e uniary trouble :
I am sorry to see by the English papery
thilt Dickens has been "within the rules of
th t ‘ Queen's Bench," realizing the prophe
cy of pecuniary ruin which has - for
son to time been whispered, about for him.
Ilis splendid genius did not heed the mel
and toly - proof . a imprOvidence, and he has
had wealth so completely within his grasp,
that there scents a particular and unhappy
needlessness in his ruin. The worst of
his .misfortune is, he has lived co closely
at the, edge of his flood tide of prosperity
that the ebb leaves him at highwater mark,
and not in the contented ooze of supplied
necessities where it took liint•np: And, by .
the way, it was in the same lOW water pe
riod of his life—just before he beeame cel
ebrated=-that I first saw Dickens ; and I
will record this phrase of his chrysalis—
("the tomb of the caterpillar and the,cradle
of the butterfly," as Linmous calls it)—
upon the chance of its being as interesting
to future ages as such anti:MlT would now
he of the ante-butlaylivity ofShakespeare.
1 was following a favorite amusement of
Mill+l , one rainy day in the Strand, London
—strolling towards the more crowded thor
oughfares with cloak and umbrella, and
looking at people and • shop windows. I
heard my naine called front a passenger in
a street cab. From out the smoke of the
wet straw peered the head of my publisher,
Mr. Maerelie, (a most liberal and noble
hearted fellow, since dead.) After a tittle
catechism as to my damp destiny for that
morning, he informed 'me that Inc was go
ing to visit Netvgate, and asked me to join
him. I willingly agreed, never havitig seen
this famous prison; and, after I was'seated
- in the cab, lie said he Was to pick up on'
the way a young'paragraphist for the' Morn
ing Chronicle; who wished to write a de
scription of it. In•the most crowded part
of Ilolborn, within a door or two of the
"Bull and Mouth" Inn, (the 'great starting
' and stopping place of the stage coaches,)
we pulled up at the entrance of a large
building used for lawyers' chambers. Not
to leave WO sitting- in the rain, Macronc
asked: me to dismount with him. !follow
ed by long flights of stairs to an upper story,
land Was ushered into an uncarpeted and
bleak-looking room, with a ,deal table, two
or three chairs—and a few hookii,,a small
boy, and Mr. Dickens for the contents. I.
was only struck at first with one thing,
(and I made a memorandum of it that even
ing, as the strongest instance I had seen of
English obsequiousness to employers,) the
degree to which the poor author was over
powered with' the honor of his publisher's
visit! I - remember saying to myself as I
sat down on a rickety chair, "My good
fellett, , , if you were in America with that
fine face and your ready quilt , you would'
l
have no need to be condescended to by a
publisher !" , Dickens was dressed _ very'
much as' he has since .described—"Dic.k
Swiveller"- 7 -minus the "swell" look.--'
His hair . was cropped close to hi s head,
his clothes scant, though jauntly eat, and,
after changing a ragged office coat for a
shabby -blue, he stood by the door, collar-,
less and buttoned up, the very personiflca
tioa, I though; of a Close sailer to the wind.
We Went doivn and crowded into the cab,:
(one passenger more than the law allowed, ,
and Dickens partly in my lap and partly
in Macrone's,) and drove on to Newgate.
In his works, if you remembere—there is

London, anO,present at did complementary
dinner given, to MaereadY. Samuel Lover,
. ,
who sat edit tome, 'pointed out lljekens:
I looked Up and down the table, but was
*holly unable•to single him out without
getting my friend to number the people
who sat above him: e - was no more like
the,. same man I had seen than a tree in
June is like the same' tree in February.—
He sat leaning. his head on his hand while
Bulwer was speaking, and'witikhis very
long hair,his very flash waiScontAs chains
and rings, and withal a much paler face]
than of old, he was totally unrecognisable.
The compar ison was very interesting to
me, and I:looked at him a long time.
was then in his-culmination 'of popularity,
and seemed jaded to stuperfaction.
meetbering the glorious works he had writ
ten since I had seen him, I longed to pay
hirn_my homage, but had no opportunity;
and I did_ not see him again till he came
ovtr to reap his harvest and upset his bay
cart in America. When all the ephemera
of his imprudence and improvidences shall
have passed away—say twenty years hence
—I should like to ace kiln again, renovn
ea as he will be for the-most original and
remarkable works of - his time ,
From the New York Tribune
THE DUTY' TO LABOR,
."The world owes me a living, and I'll
have it," says some black-leg, es-he finish
es a-lu . xurious repast; "here, fandlord, an
-other bottle of prime Maderia!" Half a
dozen empty beaded fops, who sat gazing
on him Sy stealth,. in silent admit ation, hail
the sentiment witli a shout of rapturous-ap
plause: ",That's it ? the world owes its a
good living and have it !—landlord !
more wine here !• 'we' won't go home till
morning.' Let's 'go it while we're young.'
Who ores for expense?" The conse
quence of this is the pilfering of money
drawers, the ignominious loss of employ
ment, genteel loferistn, and soon, until one
of these enterrtising, gentlemen, in eager
pursuit of the "good living" the world
owes him, puts the wrong man's name to a
check, or in some kindred tVaY gets a tick
et for the marble palace at Sing Sing where
the Sfate provides q living' for those it
considers deserv,ing, but not just such a I
one as consists with their own estimate of
exalted merit. .
The great error in this•case is the origi
nal maxim. It is false and' detestible.—
'The world owes you a living?' How
owes? Have you earned it by good ser
vice? If you have, whether on the anvil
or in the pulpit, as a toiler or a teacher,
you have acquired a just right to a liveli
hood,. But if you .have eaten as much-as
you have earned—worse still—have done
little or no good, the' world owes you noth
ing. You may be worth millions, and be
able to enjoy every imaginary luxury with
out care or effort; but if you have nothing
to increase the sum of human comforts. in
stead of the world owing you any thing,
as fools' have babbled, you are morally
bankropt and a beggar.
Mankind are just awaking to a consciouS
ncss'of duty resting on every other man to
be - active and useful in his day and his
sphere. All are not called to dig or hew
—to plough or plane—but every man has
a sphere of usefulness allotted to hint by
Providence, and •is unfaie3fih to his high
trust if:he deserts it for idle pomp or heed
less. luxury. One
_man may be fitted by
nature and inclinOon for an artisan, ano
ther for a sailor, and a third for a merchant;
but no man was 'are: born fitted only to be .
an idler, and a &one; Those who become
such are thd victims of reverse circuity
stance and a deplorably talse.education.

RESPECT TO °Lb AGE.
IText , . Stotts.—il young. gentleman
fresh from college, who had more knowl
edge of books than men; was wending his
way to the' Rev. Dr. C—, of Ct. The
doctor was extensively known and respee. --
ed for his energy of character, his learning,
and. piety, and moral worth. But like the
great apostles; be did not. disdain to "labor
‘vitli his own hands."
With a letter of introduction to the aged
divine, whom he had known only by repu
tation, our genteel young friend was seek
ing, the privilege of an acquaimanee with
him.
• "Old Daddy," said he to awaied labor
er in the field by the Way side, whose flap
p-ed'hat and coarse looking over-coat—it
was a lowering day- 7 and dark eeMplmoon
and features contrasted, strongly with his
own broad-cloth and kid gloves and fair
person—" Old daddy, tell the where the
ney. Dr. C "ln,the Douse
you see yonder," the old man honestly re
plied.
Without condescending to thank him for
the information, the young man rode on,
and soon found himself seated in the parlor
of Dr. C's ,hospitable residence', at the in
vitation of the lady of the houSe; awaiting
the expected arrival of the doctor.
In due time the. host appeared, having
returned from the field, laid aside his wet
garments, and adjusted his person. But
to the surprise and confusion . of the , young
guest, Whom should he , ,Meet to the Rev.
Dr. but the same 'old daddy' he had ,so un
ceremoniously accosted. on his way
" It was very respectful in you,", said
the venerable divine, with .au arch look,
anti in a pleasent tone—..for the aged 'parson
was pot wanting in wit and humor—" it
was very respectful in you to call me old
daddy ; I always love to see young men
show respect to old age." ,
~.
The confusion and mortification of the
young man were indescribable. He could
have sunk through, the floor, and buried
himself in the Mier beneath him. With
a countenance crimsoned with blushes, lie
began to stammer out an apology for his
incivility.
. "No apology," mild the doctor very
pleasantly, "no apology '; .always love it;
see respect shown to old agc." But the
kindne'ss and assiduity of the farthly could
not relieve the unpleasantness of his situa
tion ; a sense of the mortifying blunder
which he had committed, marred all his
anticipated pleasure froth the interview and
he was glad to take hia leave as. soon a s
he could dti. 'it with deCenny.L-Saitirda.ij
