THEGAUCHCS, OR INHABITANTS OF THE PAMPAS. (ExtiSptcdfrum 1 lev ft, Journeys.) "Born in the rude hut.

As son as he walk., his infantine an ucn.ei t are those which prepare him for the occupation of his future life: with a lasso mad: of twine he tries to catch little birds, or the dogs, as they walk in and cut of the hut. IU the time lie is four years old he is on hoiseb.ick, and immediately becomes useful by assi-th g to drive the cattle into the corral.

it to the every-day occupation of going in search of it. He might, it is true, make cheese, and sell it for money, but if he has got a good saddle and good spurs, he does

I not consider that money has much value: in fact he is contented with his lot: and j when one reflects that, in the increasing j series of human luxuries, there i9 no point that produces contentment, cannot but feel ! that there is perhaps as much philosophy

l as folly in the Gnucho's determination to

exist without wants, and the life he leads is certainly more noble than if he was slaving from morning till, night to get other food for his body, or other garments to cover it. It is true he is ot little service to the great cause of civilization, which it is the duty of every rational being to promote; but a humble individual, living by himself in a boundless plain, cannot introduce into the vast uninhabited, regions which surround him, either arts or sci nces: he may, then fore without blame be permitted to leave them as he found them, and as they mut remain, until population, which will create wants, devises the means of supplying them. The character of the Gaucho is often

ivery estinjable; he is always hospitable lat his hut the traveller will alwavs find a

No business of half the magnitude and interest, to that which will be transacted by that body nt th ir next ses sion, has ever yet occupied the attention of our preceding Legislatures, and peihaps will never occur to any succeeding one. By the provisions of the late treaty with the Indians together with a law of Congress connected therewith, there is put at the sole disposal of the Legislature of Indiana, a grant of about 300 sections of land, which if sold at the moderate rate of one dollar per acre, will amount to nearly two hundred thousand dollars, for thepuipse

jf rowing the products of this stock, distrib- : utcd over a large portion of the globe, new species arc produced; the causes of production arc those precisely whu h diversify ; the human species, viz. f(Jod, employment, locality, and climate. This has bet n the gradual work of ages; the effects have been various, in proportion to the opera jfion of the causes: in some the deteriora j lion ha& b en small, in others mor obv ious. hi th'.se climates where the crosses mature j suddenly, the frame is less compact the ; limbs and ligaments of less firmness and smoothness, and the life of the animal 'shortened. This spot ies assumes a har- ' actor which, descending to its itsue, be comes established. The observations i which may be mnde almost daily, will conifinn the facts relating to age and limbs. J Horses of a particular strain may be sejh:cted, which preserve their suppleness

pijn a canal to conii.cl the waters of the j Wabas'" river with the navigable waters ; of lake Erie. This grant amounts to ai br ut 800 sections, which, if also sold ot

the reduced price of one dollar per acre, will amount to about 600,000 dollas. It must then be obvious to all, that our true

interests impeiiously demand, that an ear- : ly attention should be given to these ! weighty concerns that a general, practij cal and comprehensive' view should be ta-

j ken of these subject ;nd that party feel

Rain Makers. Among the superstitious customs which prevail in Africa, Mr. Carap hell men-ions the following: "Rain makers, as the word expresses, are persons who pretend to posses power over the clouds, and to be able to bring rain upon a

j country in time of drought. They are

held in high estimation by all the Bootshuana tribes; but arc seldom employed by the nation to w hich they belong, each nation preferring to employ owe who lives at a distance from them. Should it happen to rain soon after his arrival in any country, his fame is established (or life, and he will not forget to boast of it wherever he goes. Upon his approach to a town, many of the inhabitants go out to meet and congratulate him on his safe arrival; and he is usually presented wih a black sheep. On his reaching the place assigned for hi? residence, he assumes a grave countenance, and none are permitted to enter his habitation without first taking ofT his sandals. White oxen, cows, or sheep, are then collected and given in change to the king, who, with his chief captains, formally presents them to the rain maker. He rarely commences th usual ceremonies fr procuing rain, until he sees clouds arising in the NV. from which quart r rain generally comes; but ofthis the natives are ignorant. In those latitudes rain seldom falls except at the change? of the moon, a circumstance of which the rainmaker, from observation, is aware, and he frequently ventures to promise a supply at such times; if it donot happen to come he assigns some loa-on, and promises to bring it in so many days more, a peiiod which coriesp-.nds with the next lunar change. When he is long unsuccessful in his attempts to hiing rain, he must exert all his faculty t devise m thods for keeping up ihe expectations of the people, who then

oem m complain. Tne general reason at first assigned is,' that sufficient present have not beco iv-i
