of your
readers, in common with our enquiring
eauntryuien generally, are •probably but
little acquainted with those distant States
of ti oath America, whose "Winter, stern
icier. of the lit teritti year," is already over
and gone, atAl budding Spring; time is
even now just ready to give place to , early
&Burnet (NoV. 5.) •
Yielding v., hind requests from your;
wives and other friends, I propose,from
time to time, to give you some of the re,.
sults of my observations in South Ainer.F 7
ca, and especially iu the so styled Repubi•
lie of CHILI.
Much that I have myself observed in
Chili since 1554 haS, indeed, - been
ready described by other writers.. I have,li
in fact, been surprised to . find that sold
much has been written in English, regard_
ing that and other Spanish Americanll
countries, during • the last quarter of all
century. Still fullef, but not so reliable',
or valuable accounts of Chilian affairs
have been given in Spanish, French, Ger
man and Italian. •
But I will not . trouble you with even
the names of these writers at present.—
Capt. Wilkes (1839) and Lieut. Gilliss,
(1849-52) in their Narratives, have
given us a great amount of interesting
and reliable information respecting Chili.
In their iis.its and explorations in South
America, as well as in that of the lament
ed Capt. Herndon to the "Valley of they
'Amazon," (1851-53) and recently in
that of Lieut. I'age to the La Plata and
'its adjacent countries, the Navy Depart-,
\ment of the United States are deservingl
of Mir warmest gratitude. They certain
ly
have mine, - as has each of the gentle.!
I men who have thus contributed to en- 1
I large the bounds of our knowledke in re-1
.-ard to the countries they have visited.
Unfortunately, the published accounts
of these travellers, being in the form of.
voluminous "Reports" tp the United
States Government, or to the. Naval De
partment, are not circulated among the
people as they should be. lam happy
to be able to vouch for their accuraey,.as
far as Chili is concerned, and only wish
that what Capt. Wilkes and Lieut. Gil
liss have written coneerning Chili coitld
be read as - extensive l ls - as possible. It
would do good to those there, sitting "in
the region and shadow of death," and to
us, who enjoy so' many privileges and
blessings in our own more'favored home,
if the condition 'of thingS in a country --
like Chili could be 'accurately made
known.

nearly-all we as yet knoviathe earth and
of man. And this slow and confessedly
imperfect tucatui of coWcting information
is about all we shall have to depend upon,
for the future. The printing press itself
only give.s utterance to the testimony of
the traveller; as to some of his experience.
Bayard Taylor, in the tropics and in the
polar regions, sees many things, and feels
them too, in his soul, which the pen can
not .portray. So did Herodotus, the fath
er of history; and his racy narrative is
beginning but recently to be more and
more believed.
But enough by way of introduction;
perhaps too much.
Gnus " extends from the Tropic of
Capricorn, on the north, along, the Pa
cific coast, to Cape Horn on the South;
and between that ocean on the west and
the .highest crest of the Cordillera of the
Andes on the east. It reaches from per
petual summer, in the Desert of Atacama,
up to the icy domains of the Polar Sea,
at 56° south. I say up, for the sailor
says so, and so would you, reader, if the
Norh Star was 30° to 40° below your
horizon, and the pole of the earth pointed
up to the same degree in the heavens
above• % ) , ou. We say down to the Equa
tor and up to the Poles all - over the
world.
Chili claims, then, the whole southern
temperate - region on the Pacific. But
there is a disputed boundary line be
tween her and Bolivia at 25° south, and
between her and the Araw.canian Indians
at 37° 30'. Except a fort (Valdivia) on
the coast, at 40°, and a small and wretch
ed German settlement in 42°, Chili oc
cupies 'no territory south of 37° 30', save
the forlorn penal settlement at Port Fam
ine, in the Straits of illa , rgellan, and the
island of Chilo6, off the coast, in 41°-
43°.
=I
The length of territory claimed is not
less than 2,200 miles, having an average
breadth of about 70 mites. But Chili
really occuies 'less than 1,000 miles on
the coast-, and most of her population lies
within an extent of 500 miles (from 30°
to 37 0 ) along the coast, and reaching
back to the Andes' for about 100, miles
distant, and including an area of 50,000
square miles. Comprehended in this are
thirteen provinces, mostly named from
their principal cities, as Coquimbo, Val
paraiso, Santiago, Concepcion, &c. These
provinces are governed each by. a chief
officer, called liztentlente; who is appoint- -
ed'hy the Chief 3lagistrate of the nation,
to whom alone he is responsible for the.
discharte of his trust. Most of these In
tendAites arc military men or civilians
whom the President wishes to reward for
political services. They are often :•t_:aoc
ed from province to province to prevent
affiliations with the people, or to preserve
their loyalty to the government. Some
of them are very worthy men. Such is
their character generally in the presence
of a large foreign population, as in Val
paraiso and Concepcion at present, where
any overt acts of injustice on the part of
this-officer would be severely reprehended.
Numi.rous small - rivers—mostly •tor=
rents, that is, dry in summer and full in
the rainy season— descend front the
slopes of the Andes to the sea. These,
like the provinces, often take their names
from the city near them, as the Copiabo,
Imperial, &c. None of them are naviga
ble, although two or three have been im
agined by the .Chilians to be so. At
tempts ba-ye been made, to navigate, by
small steamers, the Manic, at Constitu
cion, and the Biobio, at Concepcion, in
11,lie south of the inhabited pail of the
country but hitherto without success,
owing to the shanown:%ss of the waters.—
;IThe Imperial, in the Araucanian country,
is said to be - navigable, but the Chilian
ilgoverninent has never been permitted by
ilthe -natives by experiment to test the
! fact.
But, for the present, I close. Hereaf
;ler' when treating of the manners, relig
ioni
, education, arts and prospects of the
.31iilians, I may hope to give you what
14v ill be of more interest to your . readers.

* This name is always spelled by natives
Chile, and pronounced Chee-lay.
(Italian) says it comes from the Araucos' word
for snow, because of its snow,y summits. M.
Gay ( French) says it is so named from the
note of a bird ; but I never could find .this
bird there, nor any one who knew him. Pur
dlas, in his Pilgrims, says, " It is rightly nam

Alas ! each hour of daylight tells
A tale of shame so crushing,
That some turn white as sea-bleached shells
And sonde are always blushing.
But when the patient - stars look down

The traitot's smile, the murderer's frown,

And in, Cho vain endpavor, • •
We see thin winking in the skies,
And so they wink forever.
Here is al bit of advice to young ladies,
setting forth how they may know whether
a young gaoant is really courting them,
or only
_paying them polite attentions.
The confonuding the oue with the other
has been the source of very much trouble,
both beforelland since the ern. of Mr. Pick
wick and M,rs. Burdell
A young man admires a pretty girl, and
must manif6st it. Ile can't help doing so
for the life 4!)f him. The young lady has
a tender heart, reaching out like vine ten
drils for something to cling to. She sees
the admiration, is flattered ; begins soon to
love; expects some tender avowal; and
perhaps gets so far as to decide that she
will 'choose :I jvhite satin under that gauze,
&c., at the very moment that the gallant
she half loves is popping the question to
another damsel ten miles off!
Now the difficulty lies in nut precisely
understanding:the difference,betweeu po
lite attentions and the tender manifesta
tions of lore, Admiring a beautiful girl,
and wishing to make a wife of her, are
not always the sonic thing; and thorelore
it is necessary that the damsel should be
on the alert ,to discover to which chiss the
attentions paid her by the young gentle
men belong. •
First then if a coung ionn greets you
'in a loud, free and, hearty tone - ; if he
knows,,precisely where to put' his hands;
if he stares you straight in the 'eye, with;
'his mouth wide open; if he- turns his
back upon you to speak to anotheri; if he
tells you who made his coat; if he squeezes
your hand;, if ho eats heartily au your
presence;
,if he fails to telk very 'kindly
to your mother; if in short he sneezes
when you are singing, criticises your curls,
or fails to be foolish fifteen times every '
hour,.then don't fall in lore with him for
the world i He only admires you let him
say what he will to the contrary...
On the other hand, if he be merry with
everybody•eise,,blit goiet with, you ; if he
be autious to -see if your tea is sufficiently
sweetened, .aud your dear person well
wrapped up when you go , out - into tEe
cold ; if he 'talks very low and never looks
you steadilyin the eye; if his checks are,
red and his nose only blushes, it is enough.
If he romps With your sister, sighs like a
pair of bellows, looks. solemn when you
are addressed by another gentleman, and .
in fact is the Most Still, awkward, stupid,
yet anxious of all your male friends, you
may go ahead and make the poor fellow
happy !
Yonne.' ladies! keep your hearth in a
case of good l'eatlier, or some other tough
substance, until the right one is found be
yond a doubt, after which you can go on
and love, and .court, and be married and
happy, without the least bit of trouble.
There are'some things which should 'be;
ac stuck, up with a pin'," over the fireplace,
The following advice, by Beecher,l
is one of them. In his 'sermon on the
money crisi, he says :
"Take cote of
,yourselvei In the first .
place, Overy:Man should take care of his
.body: If yOur body fails, your energy is
gone. It must 'nut fail you. You want
food and .sle,ep.. Bleep is to a man's brain
' what the rain is to our cisterns, with this
difference—that our cisterns hold 'a sup,
ply for severrl days, whereas cur brain
holds a supply for one day only. Sleep
over night is the, shower that tills it up.

MARBIEb LIFE.—The following beau
tiful and true sentiments from-the pen of
that charming writer, Fredrika Bremer,
whose observations might well become
rules of life, so appropriate, are they to
many of its phases :
"Deceive not one another in small
things nor in great.. One little singl:, lie
has, beihre now, disturbed
. a whole :carri
ed life, a small cause has often great con
sequences.. Fold not the. arms together
and sit idle. Laziness is the devil's cush
ion." Do- not run much from home.
One's own hearth is of more worth thaa
gold. 3lany a marriage., my friends, be- .
gins like.a rosy moruing , and then falls
away like a stow-wreath. And why, my
friends? Bemuse the married pair neg
lect to be as Well pleasing to each other
after Marriage as before.. Endeavor al
way s, my children, to please one another;
but at the same time keep God . in your
thoughts. Lavish not all your love to
day, for remetuber that marriage has its
to-morrow, likewise, and its day- after to
morrow, too. Spare, as one may say,
fuelforthe winter. Consider, in:ydaught
ers, what the word wife expresses. The
married -Woman is the husband's- domestic
faith ; in her hand he Must he able to
confide house and family;; be able to en
trust her the key of his heart, as well as
the key of his eating room. llis honor
and his home are under her keeping—his
