FEMALE GATHERS IN MEXICO. Early-in I lie afternoon of Janunry 4th, alter a pleasmit march, we reached t lie town of Ojo Calienle, Here we were allovycd to ramble abuut wherever pleased, ami there being a
noted warm well on the eage of llio town, eev-
f rut of our parly visiled it lor the purpose ot bail.ing. Tue water boils up in great quantities, and forms a Iarge,deep basin from the vtry iounuiii-lit;ad. Several of the prisoners imme-
tiiiitelv divested themselves of their clothing.
and dashed into the relreshins element, diving
- aiiJ swiming about in the water, just warm e
nou"h to be comfortable. Before they left the
large natural bathing-tub the party was increased by the arrival of several Mexican girls, who, rot in the least daunted by the presence of lite
Textns,immediately joined them in theiraquatic spoils. Willi merry and joyous laughter they commenced splashing the water about them; now diving to the bottom, and then rfsing to the surface, shaking the water from their lung hair, nd patidimsr nUout like Newfoundland" dogs. It my not have been generally remarked, and way not be always the case, but nearly all the feinuieu 1 have seen swiih, Mexicans, and Indians, end all, paddle along alter ihe nianiier ol waicr do"s. and one of them makes more noise
tiian a dozen of the other sex. In San Antonia,
whtre lite women are excellent swimmers and visit the water regularly once or tw ice a day, the
noe a party of them make miuht be mistaken, fur that of so many porpoises or sea horses.
That the females living upon many of the rivers and lakes of Mexico take to the water so nat- . u!!Iv,iid apoearupoii its surface divested oi
liiojo loose garments with which our American
luiiiesare wont to array themselves upon tucii occ?-s;ot;s may bo looked upon as betraying t
tiiilof modesty by some of our fair readers;
iui with tue iiir!aof Mexico there is an absence
:f ail thought that they are doing wrong, which
ahouid fully exculpate them from blame. The
" customs of the country sanction the occurrence of scenes such as I have iu.-st mentioned, and
many others which would be deemed highly in
delicate .in other lauds; and however much the
foreigner may at first be tempted to doubt their
strict correctness, he soon learns Ilia t no con veil lional rules forbid them. True modesty con gists in the thought which governs every action
and, viewed iu this liaht, there was certainly iu
immodesty in the girls of Ujo Caiieute mdulg
III g in a baili, even ii tliey did appear 'right before Jnlks,' as the philosopher Sam Slick would say. Kentl all's Narrative.
A REVOLUTIONARY REMINISCENCE. TUB tAtTHFCL DOG. f Communicated to the New York Tribune. "Died, at Victory, Cayuga county, N. Y'., June 24iU, 1844, Mrs. Mary Gregg, aged 82 years, 1 1 months nii 23 days. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian Church for more than sixty years, and always adorned her proiession by a lite devoted Jo the commands of the Savior. Sue was deprived ot her natural sight lor the lust filteen years of her lite, which was a great affliction; yet it seemed to meke her more devoted, and her spiritual light grew brighter and brighter, until sue leil asleep iu Jesus, without a struggle or a groan." Mary Gregg was the widow of Captain James Gregi;, of tile Revolution, ol whom 1 will give a short account taken Irom her own words, lieing a professional man in the city of Albany, and
having impaired bis healili by close attention to study his physician advised him to join the army, in order to regain his health, tie accordingly took a Captain's commission, and with a heart full ot patriotism and love ol his country he served with honor to himself and uselulness to his country. In 1778, while at Fort Slanwick on the Aiopawk river, he was shot, tomahawked and scalped, all of which he survived, and again resuming his sword, fought for liberty until peace was obtained. A short account ot his being scalped was published in the American Preceptor, under the title of 'The Faithful Dog."
x ne circumstances were as follows: Leaving the Fort one morning with his servant, (whose name was Madison) they followed the Indian
trial tor seine three quarters ot a mile, tor tue
purpose of shooting pigeons; and alter securing
the desired game, they started on their return, lit on instant the report of a rifle and the fall ol
the servant announced an enemy. Casting his
eye to the lelt, Gregg saw the savage start Irom
behind a tree, with his unloaded rine in one
hand and an uplifted tomahawk in the other,
bounding towards It tin with the agility aud tierce nes of n tiger. Knowing thai it taken alive he
would be tortured, he prepared to sell his lite as
dearly as possible. Having his sliot-gun iu his
hand he wailed until the Iiiiiian was near e-
tiough to have the shot take ell'ect. When in the act of raising the piece to his lace, the keen eye of the Indian anticipated him; the latter threw his tomahawk uid struck the silver plate on Gregg's cap glancing Irom "ilia I to the lelt side ol his cap, where it entered and laid open the side of his head in a shocking manner. At the sumo instant that the tomahawk, struck liii iiend, a bull from another Indian's rifle passed through the centre i'f his body, forward of his kidneys, aud took off the top ol the left hip bone. lie lell to the ground, but was perfectly sensible while the bloody knife was passed around
and taking his scalp from his head ; after which.
through loss of blood, he Tainted, aud alter some
thiee' hours, was revived by his'do" licking his
head. He then perceived he had the use ol his
htiiids, and crawled some three rods lo his ser vant, found him entirely dead, and, again laint
ing, he lay with his head on his servant about
lurce hours longer, Ins dog still licking his wounds till he revived. He then sent his dog for
r.elp. About a hail mile Irom there, the do
found three men iishtng, and, with his piteous moans and entreaties, enticed them into the woods and hurried them lo his master's relief as k'ooii a possible. The men (ormcd a litter of sticks, lifted the Captain on it, and carried him to the Fort: thence he was taken to the Hospital at Albany, where, after long suffering from his h utts which were distressing, he so far recovered in one year that he resumed his sword and took command of his company, and did not again lay down his arms until peace was secured.

CHILDREN OF THE RICH "AND POOR. What changes are wrought in a few years!
The yon hi; man, who, a short time since, had
not a sixpence that he could call his own, is now
me possessor oi tnousands: while ne who was
heir to unbounded wealth, is so poor, that he is dependant on charity fora living. We find very
lew rich men, who did not commence i ire in poverty and who have not by degrees acquired
their wealth, being prudent and industrious;
while on the other hand, the majority of those
who are poor and destitute, were blest wi th rich
parents and had every wish ot their hearts erati
tied. Wot being industrious, and brought up to
extravagant habits, they soon leil through with
their property, and are now miserably poor.
It is singular that people will not learn wis
dom from the past. Those very men, who were
once so excessively poor and were obliged at an
early age to be put to trades, but who have nc
quired property, are bringing up their children
in thoyc extravagant habits which ma v eventual
Iv lead to povertr, if nothing worse. Instead
of teaching the. m to be prudent and mdustrioup.
they indulge them in all their heart's desire
1 ney must not be put to trades; it is not gen
teel. A' counting room or a lawyer's office is
pitcueu upon lor the sou-, while the girls are taught lo play upon the piano and to exclude themselves almost entirely froirt the kitchen. A few years will show ilie lack of wisdom in such parents. Their children will be inevitnbly poor, and the. third generation will begin vh-re the grand-parents commenced some fifty years before. flf parent? were wise, i hey would look less lo the fashions of the- day, and more to ltie future welfare of their children. There is
nothing like teaching tliem to be industrious, nnd to be economical in their dress and mode ol
living. -' . Portland Tribunp.

A.MEBIC4N Boys. Boys, when left to the uncontrolled indulgence of their propen.iiiU's for quarrel, one probably more dangerous than men. The three days of. Paris afford an instance of a revolution in one of the first nations of ihe earth, effected by boys; and the Polish s'.ruggls was u like manner commenced and maintained by minors. The muster rolis ol our two. wars show
that a large number of those v ho fought were " hoys; and in almost every struggle, whether on deck or in the field, they proveil ilieinselves worthy ot their couutry. Every reader remembers - thai Jackson was a hero-boy of the revolution. With most of them a light is only a piece of fun, and their courage is the absence of the sense o1 ganger which a more matured discretion iiuliices. We remember seeing a boy "about ten years old clambering upon the side board of one of our old lashioned railruad cars, and observing that
lie had one wooden lee. we cautioned luni a-
Kaiistt so da ii yerons an experiment, at the same
t me inquiring as to the manner in which he had
Wthisleg. He si.id, that he had lallen from
that car. and it had so crushed his leg as to
- make it necessary to cut it off. 'And how,1 we enquired, 'can youva gain venture upon the carl' hy', was bra cool reply, I never heard of no boy hat had ever more than one lee cui off by the cars,' and he continued to cling to the side l the car with the utmost apparent indifference to his danger. A very highly respectabin gentleman gives ns an account of a similardeveiopnienl ol American character on the fatal first af
ternoon at the Kensington riots. A newsboy,
with his slouched hat thrown 'jauntily aside, aud
bis bauds buried in bis pockeic, stood in the market house, and looked laughingly on as ilie bm- . ,T I CI.,.. .1... ...U. I Km Kin.
