The follow ing is a portion of his observations em the Americano. The farms id American ladies are generally ilistingtii.-lied by great svintnt ti v and liiu ncss ol pr.eioi tloli: but their liaiues and constitutions seem to be less vigorous than these' of the lathes of idmost any country in Eiuope.

But thi-se b-. aut'.es, it is painful lo sav, are doomed to an curly decay. At the period of CI. a certain want of fullness in her proportions is already perceptible; and once passed the age oi htl. the whole fabric goes seemingly into decay. As the principle cause ol this Hidden decline I some allege to climatt but 1 ascribed it -more willingly to the gnat assiduity v. it! i which the American hakes discharge' their ! dut ics as mo: hers. .No sooner an: thev mar ried than th'-y begin to b ad a life ol comparative seclusion: ami, edice mothers, they are actually buried to the world.

An Ameiieau moilu r is the nurse, tu'or, friend and eoutiseilor ot her children.

A Dcsparato Kidnapper. in the stiring ol the year 1816, Mr; .MeMiilm had despatched ten Canadians in a canoe down the l'lathead Kiver, mi a trading excursion. The third evening after quitting the fort, while they were quietly sitting round a blazing fire, eatin a hearty dinner of deer, a large haltfamished bear cautiously approached tho group from behind an adjacent tree; and, before thev were aware of his presenee, he sprang across the lire, siezed one of the men (who had a well furnished hone in s hand j round Ins waist, witii the two I'ort'-paw as, and ran yards with him on his hind legs before he stopped. His comrades were so thim-dei-sti-uck at the unexpee ed appearance of Mich a visiter, ami his sudden retreat w ith poor Eouisson, thai they for some time lo-t all presence of mind, and, in a. state of fear and confusion, were running to and fro, e.e-h expecting in his turn to b kidnapped ill a similar manner; when at length, Hajitiste Le Blanc, a half-bred hinder, sezi d Lis gun, ami was in the act of by so w i u: b meg at me Utar, nut was smppeci me of ioe others, who toll!
