subject for a painter's pencil. The moon dimly shining amid the smoke of the burning cabins; the naked form of a gaunt savsge gliding occasionally from tree to tree; the radedrest hunters pouring their death telling bullets among the barge trees of the forest. In the distance, the form of young Woodson kneeling beside his dying father, all grouped together on canvass, would

have presented a scene of thrilling interest.

Tne film or doatn waa gathering around tne

eyes of the old hunter, and instead of those softer emotions takina place in his bosom which we

could suppose death would bring with it, it seem ed that a burning desire of revenge alone took possession of his soul. With aa almost super-hu

exclaimed the young man, "that I will forego the

pleasures of civilization, I will use all manner of

m rapid succession from their

nihilation he scattered death and consternation which ever way he went, till the Indians simul-

tanooasfy rushed from the place, believing that the evil genius of their destiny, had in bodily

shape, espoused the white man's cause. When

the little band or hunters bailed the nrst biusnes

of morn, it was with feelings far different from

those that swelled their bosoms the day betore.

Their company which had consisted of twenty-

five was reduced to eight, "slowly and sadly" they proceeded to bury their dead, and bidding farewell to the bloody forest, took their departure

for the abodes of civilization. I wonder where George Woodson is? said ono of the hunters, and

with the enquiry persuaded his companions toreturn and seek bim. They found him sitting on the trunk of a decayed tree, his eyes fixed intently on tho earth and his teeth firmly clenched together. "Come George, we are going home, got op let's be off," said one of the men; "home," "I am perfectly at home; my father lies unavenged in these wilds, and here will I stay and rove through these forests till my soul's vengeance is completely glutted. I will not return to the enjy meat of civilization; I have sworn to forego them and never will I enter the settlements again, unless for ammunition or driven by the keenest hunger or the most dreadful cold." "Then boy I must stay with you," said old Phil, one of the hunters, "and so you see fellows as the lad will have his own way, I must stay with him to take

care of him, for Lord! I wouldn't ho should rove

these woods alone for the best dozen beavers I

ever seed, and with this logical and humane dis

course he concluded by telling them good bye, and taking his seat beside the unhappy young

man, he endeavored in his blunt and uncouth manner, to console him, "Well now its not of no use,"

said the old fellow, "George to take on so mighty; the old man was old" (and here he laid on the emphasis upon 'was oJcP) and could'nt have lived much longer, and these cursed in j ins may be have the sin to answer for, that some one moagfat, if they had'nt killed him. may be a panther might

have dug it into his back and ide rather die by a rifle ball than be clawed to death by such a varmint.' With this and such like he endeavored to

give consolation to the young hunter. George

interrupted him only by sweartng vengeance

against tho whole !- savage. "Well I declare," said the ok "if the injin had'nt kilt the old man, ha CKA have kilt him, and and on the principle cf Mm hunters warfare, 1

don't see why you should go to kill a man's rela

tions for what he does.77 And thus with tms un

affected logic did the old fellow try to dissuade bim from his purpose, but it was of no avail, tho nature and disposition of the youth seemed altered, and in the place of the mildness that once cha racterised him, astern savage ferocity took pos

sess ion of his bosom.

It ia useless to enumerate the many artifices

he employed to decoy the savages from their pla

ces' of concealment, suffice it his name bad be come terrible to his foes. On one occasion he succeeded in entrapping the daughter of one of

the chiefs, and here he determined to maae an

instrumoat by which to carry farther his encroachment. From her he learned that her father was

near seventy years old; that he was frequently left alone by the tribe when they were engaged in hunting, and that in about two moons they contemplated performing an exhibition that would detain them several days. Glorying in having aa opportunity of wreaking his wrath upon one to whom the tribe paid such respect and veneration he employed his art to make tha girl believe, he loved her, and that he must go to her father to get his consent but added he, there must none bat you hear me ask him, for my nation never make

proposals to any but the father and he must be aJone; so when the tribe departs on. their expedi

tion we will go to him together." Ami will the pale face wed aa Indian T" asked she ia tha deep nwmieal language of her tribe.

keen dark eye

that told the expwicnead hunter he should proceed cautiously with his victim. "Tea," said he, "I win." "WeO," said she "the Singing Cud will go to your wigwam, and cook your meat, aad far your moccasins, and live and die with yon." "Swear," said the boater, "you will take ma to your father, and that your tribe shall not molest me." "I swear," exclaimed the girl in a deep guttural voice, "none of the tribe shall see you, and if you

die I wiU too.

Woodson knew that aa Indian's oath was sa

cred, and be rejoiced in heart that his enemies

would aaash in anmiisb when they knew mat

the chief had been betrayed by his own daughter! The time at length arrived; old Phil was employed in forming a canoe, and on the morning it waa finished, the heart of Woodson beat almost audibly with contending emotions, for savage as had grown his bosom, he could not contemplate the deed he was about to perpetrate without a shudder. The shades of evening had begun to lengthen, when the "Singing Bud" came forth and with a light step bounded into the canoe. She had dressed her hair with the wild flowers that spotted the banks of the river, and seemed to the eye of old Phil like some bride of the settlements, instead of an Indian girl. Leaving old Phil until he should return with his bride, (for he

had not dared to break his intentions to the good old man who would have frustrated him,) Woodson took his rifle and jumping into tho canoe, he was soon out upon the brood current, turning to the "Singing Bird" he related how his father had

died and the arief it had caused him. The "Sing

ing Bird" listened for a while, but ere her companion was aware she seized the rifle and fired its contents through the side of the boat, then springing to the side where the ball had passed through she gave it a tilt and in a few seconds it was fast filling and settling for the bottom. Then it was ber wild, rich, but almost super human song, rose upon the winds! "The pale face

came to the forests ; we killed our game, we built our wigwams; but the pale faces burnt our wigwams, and hunted down our game. The pale face sought an Indian bride, but the great spirit whispered to the Singing Bird, "beware," he seeks

to kill the chief ot many winters, and the ringing Bird promised if the pale face died she would die too! when did an Indian maid ever break her word? the pale face dies and the Indian maid goes to the place where her mother has gone." The sun. was sending its broad beams out upon the waters as it sunk far off beneath a ware. ' The doomed Woodson gave up all hopes; and the intrepid girl was proudly contemplating the setting sun. "The great spirit smiles on the deed I have dona, he bochona iwa-i wiw," exclaimed she

canoe which bad already filled with water into the

warring waves. A Tew struggles and she sunk from view, the hunter essayed a few natural

strokes upon the wild waters that foamed around him, but they were only the agonies of expiring

nature, and were soon over forever. Old Pail waited for several days but his companion not returning he concluded that the savages had murdered him, and that his best plan was to make his own way back to the settlements as fast as possible. The boatmen (Lord knows how they found out the affair on the water) as they ply their craft from port to port, while away the hour by telling this and other and similar stories which

perhaps originated with these rude but kind souls.

From the Saturday Courier. Wroas; Estimate of Professions. Mjcbchaxt's &.EBKS. The pressure of the times has thrown an immense number of this useful class out of employ. While this is matter of regret it should teach an important lesson. It is always the case that there are more clerks than there are places for them. This comes from the operation of one of the strongest incentives to youthful ambition at once deemed both genteel and respectable. Thousands and tens of thousamla mah into stores, receivinir a miserable sti

pend for their services, or more likely inducing their indulgent parents to support them, while they go through their raerchantile apprenticeship, as the supposed step-stone to future fortune and high renown. Perhaps there is no more fatal and delusive error, leading astray and misdirecting the intelligent and ambitious youth of our conutry. Trade is always an uncertain business: and will ever from the nature of its operations, be overdone. Adventurers from all ranks and pro

fessions will crowd its marts, flushed witn tne hope of a speedy fortune, even where thousands and thousands have tried, and found ruin as their only portion. Of the whole number of men who adventure in merchandise scarcely a fraction hold on through the series of years and amass wealth. And if a young man gives away the best portion of his days pays for his learning his apprenticeshin and then. when be goes into manhood,

finds the channels of trade filled to overflowing what are his chances of success? He can do nothing else, lie tries rents his shop puts up his sign borrows capitol and if be has the tact to get over the payment of his first notes perhaps he buys a larger and yel a larger stock extends his business and finally a 44 pressure comes over the money market" he can get no accom-

mndatirMiii and bankruptcy stares him in tne

face, as his inevitable portion.

Ask him in that hour of calamity and how

would his heart leap for joy, to exchange places with some substantial mechanic or independent

farmer! Let not the youth of our country be delated. Follow not a Jack o' lantern, that will inevitably lead you into the morrasses of misfortune. Quit not the green hills of your native villa, where health and independence smile oa every hand, for a profession, pregnant with vicissitudes and fearful uncertainty. Go not out from the workshop, where mechanical knowledge and skill may be acquired that can never fail to you onleas you have fathomed the powers of your mind, aad are shure of triumph, in a path where nine out of ten meet only disappointment aad defeat.

PfcavaUUSaOTasBong the culprits arranged before the bar of the Justice, oa the noon of that eventful day whkh pealed the knell of Timothy Jenkins4 shut-plaster experiment, was that unfortunate gentleman, whom, it will be recollected by the readers of our last 'Passages,' we pictured as being strongly suspected of intoxication.

Iu longer tlic spruce, prim squire oi cames, it would have been difficult for his own mother to have recognised the once lofty and eagle-eyed loco-foeo advocate Timothy Jenkins, ia the shrinking being who cowered beneath the cursory glance of a newspaper reporter, and shivered before the gaze of a tipstaff. Ilia spirits were crushed, his poetical soul had felt the pressure of calamity, and the mind, which but yesterday could solve the enigma of banking, and soar upon the wings of Fancy to the heaven of Poesy, now grovelled abjectly in the atmosphere of a court for the trial of small causes, and so complete the ruin, that when asked by the man of authority who he was, ho altogether neglected to give an alias, and without lifting his eyes from the ground he replied, "Timothy Jenhins." The magistrate dropped his pen, and the catchpoles whistled, and his fellow sufferers at the bar gazed wonderingiy upon him, as they repeated that euphonious name. "Are you the Mr. Jenkins who was recently charged with an attempt at suicide V inquired the humane magistrate. I am,"" mournfully replied Mr. Jenkins. "Is you the 'shin-plaster' Jenkins' of Blcecker street f" queried that intelligent thief-catcher, officer Smith.

"The same," doowcdly answered Timothy. "Be's you the gemtnan," struck in a scantily robed son of misfortune, "what used to tell us of the roguery of these 'ere banks, and promise us a better currenc3' ?" Timothy Jenkins made no reply. The magistrate turned to the Dogberry wlio had

arrested Timothv Jenkins, tor an explanation of the causes why he had been brought to the bar. Justice Bloodgood is no such magistrate as tno knight of Falstaff described in Justice Shallow, ho is keeu iu the unravelling of intricate cases, and can tell a rogue by tho cast of his eye; he therefore quickly understood that the minister of the Corporation had acted without discretion in the taking up of Timothy, whose reputation was well known to him, and whose misfortunes seem- ( eV reWMrtbs wrorkingseutof untoward Fate than i the result of criminal intentions on the part of the

prisoner. "I must apologise to you, Mr. Jenkins," ha said after severely reprimanding the constable for his stupidity "it sometimes happens that the agents of tho law in their zeal to do tbo state service, overleap the letter of their duty: you are now free." Timothy thanked him, and was about to retire, when the Justice called to bim, and taking him aside, inquired what course he intended to take in regard to his affairs. "Mr. Jenkins," said he, "the position you now hold is a critical one, and the public mind is strongly enlisted asraiust vou. I am a Denton currency j
