Thus do these poor devils continue all their lives in a state of v oluntary wretchedness and poverty. My example prevailed with several of them to renounce their abominable practice of bread and cheese with beer, and they pro cured, like me, from a neighbouring house, a good basin of warm gruel, in which was a small slice of butter, with toasted bread and

We met A tew glad words were spoken, A few kind glances were exchanged ; Bat friendship's first romance was broken, For his had been from me estranged. I felt it all we met no more My heart was true, but it was proud ; Life's early confidence was o'er, And hope had set beneath a cloud.

Wre learn by a gentleman just from Georgia, that there arc about 5,000 hands now digging gold in the Cherokee nation, and that it is found to be the most productive of any mines yet discovered. The Georgians and their negroes and the Indians all dig together and all dig for thomselves and their masters. One man who was hired to dig at 5530 per month dug up his wagas the second lick. This was good digging. j30 at a lick is not so slow. The Augusta Courier says "upwards of $4,000 worth of gold has been brought into this city in the last two days, and one house in this place leccived upwards of 8,000 in native gold in the last three weeks." The Indians and their Agent begin to dispute "iththe Georgians about the soil, and tine tv;ii to drive them off. The Georgians promise resistance and will not be easily removed. It has been reported that a company of the U.

PROSPECTUS. OF TBS NEW-YORK AMULET, AND Ladies1 Literary and Religious Chronicle. 'C::o E-pHE primary object of this work will be, tc JL check the rapid progress of two alarming evils, so fatally prevalent in our country, viz : Intemperance and Inhdelity which, like the caker-worm, are stripping the green walks of life of all flowers, and leaving the moral world a leafless desart. To do this the more effectually, we shall pcurtray in the most vivid coleurs the deformity and deleterious consequences of these most deadly evils, by interesting moral tales shetches, fragments, essays, and scriptural illustrations. We shall endeavour to cherish in the hearts of our readers, the sublime and benevolent sentiments of the blessed gospel of Jcsns Christ to exhibit the beauties and rewards of virtue in all their captivating loveliness to awaken the better feelings of human nature to cultivate the social and domestic affections to lead the mind through the most delightful avenues, to the bowers of happiness and peace to elevate and enlarge the conceptions to imbud the understanding with the most exalted ideas of illimitable attributes and perfections of the Great Divinity thereby leading mankind to fear God and keep his commandments." To accomplish these designs, we shall call to our aid all the eloquence of truth, clothed in th most fascinating terms - such as moral essays, simple or pathetic tales, varying 44 from grave to gay, from liv ly to serene" poetical sketchesdidactic articles in verse and sometimes to enliven our pages, a tale of fancy a humorous story an allegory a ballad or, a song, will receive an insertion.
