From the ftrm. a Intelligence, MJ.UI FROM & ROG-PF.N. , in coavpaay with my neighbor, I was litdv looking into hit hog-pen, he pointed oat to mc una of his hogs, which Y he said wa& naturally the best ; but nww V tac poorest,- on account of slipping ids foot tiirough tlie floor, aud not being abie to extricate it, theotners instead of Cu npassiunating him, and trying to relieve hi n pounced upon him, junt like nu ikindi biting and bruising hiin till they almost killed him jn.nt like mankind ; said he. I was forcibly struck at tli j remark, however degrading the truth. V t 1 do mankind rather aillict and dis-tr-, t.ian relieve each ot her in trouble ? L :. rouad you and iee. There is a n i i in d;sires ; having been unforiuna, not with ous loss upon another, and V v lu p rcuniai y circu nsu aces becoming dj'i.)if i', see wmt scratching and "suramin. g &nv)ig his creditors; how th;y divide and subdivide and sacrifice hi-i sii's.a cc. Oae empties the b i of it bar and its stock ; another the granary of the grain ; another the pen of the pi ; the house of tne furniture; the cellar of its vegetables; mmer deprives the debtor of hit apparel, and to-morrow he must go to jail, to my pounds without a penny. Hut w?iat I may not a m:vi secure his Cost; attach what is virtu illy his own ? Legally he nuv ; but you know there are so ne thing lazxjul which air not expedient, -.hould you lose an expected crop by frost, or a portion of your property ay tire or Hood, you woutd not think of distressing your poor neighbor te repair your to-.!. Why sLould you in the ih'r cane ? Aow do you know but the ki id ot P niJr cc is in both ? If your neighbor has nothing to pay, why should you uke a ay Uis h.-.l from under him ? Or why should you thrust Mrointo prisi , i, -.T.f n, ?f iou vvii; n,-- pMroiico nith bini he may pay thee all ?

Again, there is another neighbor in truuoic ; no may have erred ; (it is human to err ;) Dc this as it may, his enemie, continually watching for his hal ing think that they have, now ensnared him ; auu oegin to abuse him more brutally than ever. As to his fricnds they either stand aloof, or pass by on the etner side ; or holding the garments, consent to the cruelty, and occasionally casta stone, joining in ihe general declamation, cruelly him, crucify him. Is this fancy, or is it fact I Melancholy fact I Do mankind act like rational sympathetic creatures that can be touched with another's feelings; that can feel another's woe ; or more like the swinish multitude who bite and devour and consume eacn other. It i a trite, but true remark, when a man is going down hill, (from whatever cause,) every one gives him a kick. Is this the creature that was originally allied to angels and made in the image of Gd ? O how fallen, fallen ! ! To AHcnt. Aliens are informed, that such as have arrived in the United States, since April 1 4. 1802, must report themselves to the clerk of some court of record ; and wait five ysars before they can be n:turalized, even though they may hav declared their intention to become citizens, some timt since. Those who have not made their declaration must do so also, three years before they can be naturalized. By the law f Congress, the certificate of report and registry must be produced to the court, as an evidence of the time of arrival in the United States, at the time of application to be naturalized ; and by a law passed March 22, 18 16, said certificate of naturalization, otherwise such a certificate will be of no validity. Jat. Intel. Makxiage. - There are at Pans three or four offices for Marriage, and large sheets are pasted up in public places, containing advertisements to this effect some of these advertisements are very curious They are extracted from a journal called the Mediator, and which is confined to the subject of matrimony, and the negociations between parties anxious to enter into that state, but who may not have an opportunity of any personal acquaintance. lreh. Gaz. Advkrtiskment. A y.Tang !ady&ged 18, fresh and beautiful as a nsw blown rose, and endowed with all the graces, and talents which increase the charm of beauty, but without fortune, in consequence of disasters which have happened to her parents, is offered by them to a man ef sensibility who would share with her a decent existence. A lady, age l 40, enjoying good health, and an income of 300O francs, wishes, to marry a bachelor about her own age, of a decent income and sufficient gaiety to drive away care in the long winter ev nins. A girl aged 25, born in tke country, and of simple manners, though she has lived in Paris for six months, wihes to find a husband in the working class she has no fortune, but a very handsome trousseau, Rnd some ready money ; r.;.does she viih for fortune, but health, tn!ents, sobriety, and probity, and would prefer a husband occupied in sedentary labor ; she is singularly haueUorauj and in the molt complete health. Scwng SilkA Connecticut paptr

of January 15th, says, "An article is going the rounds of the papers, which states, and expresses much wonderment at the iuct, that one vf our industrious Connecticut damsels, possessing the true Yankee roving peddiing disposition, had reached Albany with a large quantity of sewing silk, which she had offered for sale as the manufacture of Connecticut to the great admiration of the honest Dutchman of New-York We can assure the Yorkers, that hundreds of females in the neighboring towns gain their whole subsistence from the manufacture of this article and that they have brought it to such perfection, as nearly to exclude foreign silk from our stores. We therefore recommend the said fair M and her silk, to the confidence of every Dutchman, and hope that their patriotism will induce themto purchase large-I)-" Xxtract of a letter from a gentleman, one of the Mission Family n a: Brainard, in the Cherokee nation, to his friend in the city of JVetv-JLojidon, dated January 18, 1821. kOur school continues to prosper we have between 80 and 90 fine children they are improving as fast as could be expected there is an increasing desire among the natives to have their children educated the nation is rapidly increasing in civilization at their last Council they divided their country into eight districts, appointed circuit judges, sheriffs, constables and justices, and laid a tax cn the people to build a court house in cr ch district. They hegin to pay very considerable attention to cultivating their land there are many geod persons aniong them. It no longer remains a doubt whether the Indians of America can be civilized -the Cherokees have gone too far in the pleasant path of civilization to return to the rough anu unbeaten track of savace life." b Extract cf a letter to a gentlemen i:i Norfolk, dated Gibraltar.
