' [Written for Uio ReTtUla. A Voice from Heaven. I slime in the light of God, His likeness stamps my brow; Thro’ the shadow of death my feet have trod, And 1 reign in glory now. No aching heart is here— No keen and thrilling pain; No wasted cheek, where the fragrant tear

It has driven before it the animals of the chase, which fly from the sound of the - axe, and the smoke of the settlement, and seek refuge in the depths of remoter forests and yef untrod* den wilds. Thus do wo too often And tho Indians on our frontiers to be the mere wrecks anil remnants of once powerful tribes, who bare lingered in the vicinity of the settlements, and sunk into precarious and vagabond existence. Poverty, refining and hopeless poverty, a canker of tho mind, unknown in savage life, corrodes their spirits, ' and blights every free and noble quality of their natures. They become drunken, indolent, feeblo, and thievish. They loiter, like vagrants about the settlements, among epadona dwelling* replete with elaborate comforts, which, only render them sensible of the comparative wretchedness of their own condition.— Luxury spreads its ample board before their eyes; but they are excluded from the banquet. Plenty revels over the fields; but they are starving in the-midst of its abundance: the whole wilderness has blossomed into a garden; but they feel as reptiles that infest it, \'

! A Gem in, the River. A young mother, with tears of bereave* mcul in her eyes, atood over the river of Death, gazing wistfully into its black and sluggish waters, as if aha would fain rest, her gaze upon some object away down—dovn in its fathomless depths. She gaz* cd‘long and wistfully, and the black wayea rolled sullenly, sluggishly onward. ■ And the mother laid her sub* missive!/ un her bosom and wept, and said, “My gem! my gem!" . And a celestial being, like an angel, stood near the hidden door - of her heart, and whispered in a silvery voice, like mu* fie, “What sockost thon, mourning sister?" ' ‘ '

," Tho word harem, ho began, was a word familiar to most, and yet, despite tho familiarity of the word, n misrepresentation of its significance, as applied among the Turks, was almost universal. Most considered It a word that was not proper (0 mention to cars polite. The word was or.ly suggestive to them of a grand conclave of beautiful wopuen, held imprisoned os. mistresses to tbo sensuality, of the high magnates of the Oriental countries. This, ho proceeded to show,'was a great mistake.':: 2 Harem meant nothing -more ofthb w6j ;en of Turkey. ■ With them it hail no pitch meanings os |hat supposed to belong to it among Christian people. It was an arena of the! Turkish household, where teora often-the retired woman gave her rime to thoKoran and praying than to deand promiscuous and vilo sensnThe seclusion of women in Turkey a custom great antiquity, It was a custom that prevailed long anterior to the time of'Mohammed. The Koran, indeed, was only a sustaincr of the harem. It advocated tho careful seclusion of women from the rude .gaze of men. For this reason, tbo houses of the Orientals were divided into two apartments, one for the males and the other for the females, tho female apartments bearing tbo general designation of harem. Harem therefore, it was shown, corresponded very nearly with the word home. When a pasha was mentioned as traveling, and having his harem with him, his family was only women, and it did not follow that more than one female was numbered in his family.

' Should ono so far forget himself as to approach,n Turkish lady unsolicited, ho would iind himself allocked with that woman's weapon, her tongue, which would bo found in Turkey to possess all the jvolubility and bitterness of the female sox in Christian countries. As showing further the respect universally shown lo.women, the custom of sacking women was declared a mark * of respect. The men alone wore excepted, /The harem, or theprivac apartment, was to all intents and purposes under the exclusive control of women.— The saltan himself never entered within its sacred precincts without consent of its occupants. The. children, howevr, have free ingress and egress ;to the two apartments of tbu Turkish household. . When the female offspring: reaches the age of ten this freedom is cut off 1 , and she forms a portion of the harem. The lecturer, meanwhile, gave an acconnt of the harem of the present Saltan. Connected with the harem were two thousand females of this number .only seven held lha rank of wives. The luxuries which they enjoyed were graphically described, as were aho their habits and mode of living. Although the Women belonging to the Sultan's harem were so many in number, they were not all* mistresses. Included in the harem were the mother and sisters of the snltan. / In the'royal palace, it might be supposed, the lecturer added, there would be numerous representatives of the rising generation; but this was a mistake. On the one hand, ho said, it was n provision of ibo-state policy to keep diminished the number of heirs to the throne, and therefore nine out of ten cither were not allowed to see Hgnt, or were killed ripon birth. He related that two wives of the reigning sultan had, not long since, died of grief became their offspring were destroyed,— Again, most of the ladies desired the pro; mature destruction of their children, to avpid marring their beauty by maternity, The latter was'Ucclarcd to he the cose with most of Turkishwomen.

The fighl.s-of the savage have seldom been:properly appreciated or respected by the white man. In peace, he has too often been the dupe of artful traffic; in war he has bePn regarded as a ferocious animal, whoao life or death was a question of mere precaution orconvcnience. Maniecruclly wasteful of life -when his own safety ia endangered, and-bo is sheltered by impunity; and ’little mtrey is lo bo expected from him whan befouls lire sting of tho reptile, and is conscious of tho power to destroy. The same prejudices which were indulged thus early, exist in comijiou circula lion, at the present day. Certain learned societies, it is true, have •endeavored, with laudable diligence, to investigate and record tho real characters and manners of the Indian tribes. * Tho American government, too, has Wisely and hnmanely exerted itself to inculcate a'friendly and forbearing spirit Idtvards them, and to protect thorn from fraud and injustice. The current opinion of the Indian character, however, is 10 o apt to bo formed from the miserable hordes which infest the frontiers, and hang on tho skirts of the settle monts. These a to too commonly composed of degenerate beings, corrupted and enfeobleHJby tho vices bf society, without being benefited by‘its civilization,— That proud independent 'which formed tho main pillar of savage Virtue, has boon shaken down, and the whole moral fabric lies in rains. Their spirits ate hnmrHatod and debased by a sense of inferiority, and iboir native courage cowed and daunted by the superior knowledge and power of their enlightened neighbors.

It bas given them a thousand superfluous wants, while it has diminished their means of

The solitary savage feels silently, but acutely. His sensibilities arc not diffused over so wide a surface os those of the white man; but they run in steadier and deeper channels. His pride, his affections, his superstitions, are all directed towards fewer objects; but tbo wounds inflicted on them, arc proportionaly severe, and furnish motives of hostility which we cannot sufficiently appreciate. * Where a community is also limited in number, and forms one great patriarchal family, as in an In Ban tribe, the injury of an individual, is the injury of the whole; and the sentiment of vengeance in almost instantaneously diffused. Duo conncih fire is snffleient for the discussion and arrangement of a plan of hostilities. Here, here all the fighting men and sages assemble. Eloquence and superstition combine to influence the minds of (he warriors. The orator awakens their martial ardor, and they are wrought up to n kind of religious desperation by. the visions of the prophet and the dreamer.

Tho vanilla, so much prized for its delicious flavor, is tha product of a vine which grows to tbetop of tbs loftiest trees. Its leaves resemble somewhat those of tho grape; the flowers are red and yellow, and wheh 'they fall off are sneoeoded by the pods, which grow in clnstoreJfko our or dlnary beans; green at •first, they change to yellow, and finally to a dark brown. To bo preserved, they are gathered vwhon yellow, and ftroput in heaps for a faw days to ferment. They are afterwards placed In tha sun to dry, flattened by the hand, and carefully rnbbed With eocoaftat oil, and . then packed in dry plantain leaves, so as to confine their powerful atotoalio odor.
