ADVANTAGE OF HOUSE STEALING. A r:"nt with a rosey face Ami lair round body, told his case To a physician skilFd in learning, And keen discerning: Much he conipl ain'd Of iK-inej piin'd W ith numerous ills; IVvcrish heats, and anguish cliills; With hcad-ach, neck-ach. cholic, gout, And rheumatism all abuut; Indigestion, flatulence; And he must soon p,o hence, Unless the Doctors would rind out Some way To ease hs pa in. And set him on his legs again; And take their pay.

The Doctor heard him with a smile. Eyeing him keenly all the while: Then says, "sir, your best course Would be to steal a hoiie." VulIow can horse stealing eae my pain! Doctor, you're jesting, pr y explain." "Then to be serious, sir, you know, if you should steal a horse, ou'il go To the State's prison, ami there stay, J )av after daw

Fed with simple, wholesome food. And have just work enough to do you

1 or without spectacles, my eyes Convince me that your ailments rise Fro n too much eating, too nr.i'h drinkinjr.

Too little exercise, too little '0 t. iag. Hence soon you'd fmd that by ar stealth You'll gain the first of bLssin.i;-, Iiealth. Ami wien they ope the prison dcor, To set you free, lli member me An 1 go your wav and sin no more."'

When a man finds a criri .vhom he is dcFii- i

rous of takinp- lor a wife, he makes known wet your straw with the juice, instead ofwa

manner as a stranger would do. The names for children arc the same in all families being called "first son," "second son," &c. and the daughters in the same way. (Communicated.) Jefferso?ivillei Oct. 30, 1829. Messrs. Arion Sc Lodge, I observe in your last paper some strictures upon the piescnt administration, with reference to the sale of lands ordered in this district. Presuming that you do not fully understand what lands arc for sale, and what reserved for further legislation, I fell a desire so far a I can to set you right. The sale of lands under the proclamation as published in your paper is almost wholly of relinquished lands. The number of forfeited lands to be offered, is about one hundred" tracts, and upon six tenths of these forfeitures, scrip has either issued or is now issuable. The balance ol the one hundred forfeited tr.ac's have been subject lofour different relief laws. The Land OOr rs have received a circular directing them to return the forfeitures, and trcts'iorfeited on the 3d day of Julylast to the General Land Office., to enable thr.t office "to report to the national legislature such particulars respecting the forfeited lands ar. may be required in i defence to further legislation respecting them," This letter will, I trust throw some additional light upon the subject, ?.nd I hope you will give it a p'.ace in your journal, as my motives for inserting it is to have as fair an understanding of the n Hter as possible. I only s'ate facts, the people may draw their own inference. The lands to be sold have by them hern ' Id to the government for other lands, with the exception of about one hundred tracts as above stated. I am, very respectfully, vour ob't serv't. WM II. HURST.

The women marry when quite young; generally at the age of fourteen or fifteen; and it is uncommon to see a woman at the age of twenty who has not been married. The nnrried women rcnralv remain virtuous and faithful to'their husband; to whom they often become attached by the strong tie of affection; and the greater part ol tiie matticd people live together in friendship until death. There is a singular custom among them; the father and mother do not discourse with their son-in-law If they arc under the necessity of holding any communication with him, they often employ another person to speak to him. It is considered improper

and indcllicatc to converse with him who cohabits vvite their daughter. This custom, however, is o t always strictly observed. When a young man gets married, he generally hs a name given him, an appendage he is seldom picviously honored with, and never until he hai arrived to vcars of maturity. The name in common use are the familiar c ei y day words usd by them, as "The cloud that walks." the "Huffalo that walks," the "Bird th-t goc qui.;k," the "Man that shoots
