No refuge for my soul but black despair.

It is a most painful fact, that there 2.'.l‘€7 at UN?’-
time in llindoosian, i‘/zirty mz'llz'ons .’gf_/2'Ina.’r.'.v total-
ly destitute of edtication, and to whom_ evcry‘ves—
tigc of mental ctiltiratinn has been deiiictl. lht-tr
native laws have prohibited them fromiall knowl-
edge, and doomed them to a state of mental sub-
jection. Hence then, there is, under the British
government in India, a whole empire, containing
so many millions of females‘ under the most hor-
rid influence of eastern fanaticism.
The fem:-.les have llt'.'\-‘Cl’ seen a book, except in
the hands of men,'and have no knowledge of any
one of the usual eniploymcnts of females in a civ-
ilized country. Their fingers have never touch-
ed a needle, :1 pair ofscissors, abook, D01‘ 21 pen ;
and they ate entirely excluded from all inter-
course with the other sex. A woman is not al-
lowed by law to go out of the house without the
consent of her husband; to talk with a stranger,
nor to laugh without a veil on her face, not to
stand at the door, nor to look out at the window.
In such a state of ignorance what can be expect-
ed, but that the female character must be deba-
sed. Hence, among the Rajpoor mothers, the
murder of female infants is universally practised ;
not one survives. Mothers among the Casts, in
fulfilment of their vow t-o obtain olfspriiig, are
seen sacrificing their first child in the Bi-um bu
pootru and other sacred+rivei~s. Many females
drown themselves. One morning an olliccr.
while sitting at his window at Altahabad, saw si.=:-
teen females, under the influenceiof superstition.
drown themselves at the junction of the-.lumu:i
andthc Ganges. And there are now in London
copies of official documents, which prove. that in
the year 1817, under the Presidency of Bengal.

No parallel case of such (llt‘€fl.‘i effects of ignor-
ance appears to exist in human history. Never in
the most savage state, have fires like these been
kindled, nor similar graves been dug. Never
were such appalling consequences of ignorance
exhibited to the civilized world.-'-—London[za/zcr.

of torture, especially to stretch the limbs, the drop

death, excited horror even in theminds ofsoldiers
hardened in the field ofbattlc. Only one of these
instruments, singular in its kind, for refined tor-

choice of its object, seems to deserve a particular
description. In a subterraiieous vault adjoining

he must have committed suicide in some hidden
place, or have died zamong strangers, who knew
not whence he came. His estate was settled un-
der the direction ofka judge of probate for this
district—his wife matricd a second hnsbaiid, who
lived with her a number of years and died--she
afterwards married a third husband, who is still
living. A few montliri since Dunham made his
appearance at Bethel. One of his_ children had
died while young; the other, a daughter,was mar-
ried to a man in l’ittsfield—his wife was livingiat
Braintree with her third liusband.. He told his
name to his former acquaintance-—-when-and how
he had left Bethcl——btit the ravages of time had
made: such alterations in his p'erson,that his friends
know him not. He reminded them of the con-
traction of the nerves in one of his legs, which
occasioned something of a lameucss—-tliey re-
mcmbcrcd.tlie circumstance, and thereby were
en-.ibled to indentify the man. They now have no
h«.:sitancy in believing and knowing that it is the
since dead. The account which he gives of his
absence and the reason ofit, is mncli as follows :
he found he was owing more than he could readily
pay, and concluded to absent himself for a few
months without ever informing his wife of his
purpose, and see if he cotild not by labor in some
profitable employment, accumulate sufficient cash
to meet the demands against him. He leftihomc
under the excuse to his wife, that he was going
on busiiiess to his neighbors, and bent his COl1l'5t:
with all possible expedition to Lake Champlain.
He then went into the employment of it lumber
n'icrcliant with flattering prospects. W'it|i the
raft, after finishing lunibering, he went to Que-
bcc, ivlicie he was to receive his pay. I-Vhilc at
Quebec, near the place where the raft was moor.
ed, he was suddenly seized by a press-gang, carri-
ed on board a man of war, which soon after sailed,
which deprived him of all means of escape, or of
giving information to his friends where he was.
Ever since, until the summer past, he fill.‘-3 been
in the British navy, on board some one or other of
their men of war, and has never received more
than thirty dollars pay for near thirty years ser-
vice--Hc has been in constant service-~was in
the same ship with Lord Nelson, at the battle of
the Nile, and was also in the battle of Trafalgar,
where Nelson lost his life. No opportunity has
ever presented which he could improve to m;\l;t:
his escape, until the last summer. The vessel
on board of which be last was, was ordered to
Quebec, where, by the assistance of a friend, he
was enabled once more to put foot on terra firm-a.
He was furnished with a small wallet of bread and
cheese, and under cover of the night he escaped
from his long confinement, and has returned to
the scene of his former life poor and pcnnyless.
Such is the story related to us by a friend, and we
have no doubt of its truth. -

head, and she held a standard in her rit_:lit hand.;;
Itimtnediately struck the spectator, notwithstand-;
ing the ample folds of the silk garment which fell 9
from the shoulders on both sides, that she wore a
breast plate. Upon a closer examinatioii it ap-
peared that the whole front of the body was Cov-
ered with extremely sharp nails, and small blades
of knives with the points projecting outwards.—-
The arms and hziiids had joints, and their mo-
tions were directcd by machinery placed behind
the partition. One of the servants of the Inqui-
sition, who was present, was ordered by the Gen-
eral to make the machine 7narzoc'vrc, as he expres-
sed himself. As the statue. ggtteitded, its arms
gradually drew them back, as if she would affect-

' this time the poor victim. The statue pressed it
closer and closer, and when at‘ the commaiicl of
the General, the director of the machin_cry made
it ‘open its arms and return to its first position,
the knapsack was pierced two or three inches
deep, and remained hanging upon_ the nails and

tatory, which Tobacco, combined with other in-
gradients, is capable of producing. The common
Scotch siiuff is not only destitute of fine flavor
but is universally allowed to be injurious to the
head and stomach, and sooner or later affects the
transparency and color of the skin. The coarse

moves that drowsinesswhicli on some Occasions‘
will prevail in spite of our utmost efforts to battle
it. By repeated experiments, it is known to be of
essential service to those who are troubled with
long,duil, nervous head-aches, and will be found
far superior for this purpose to the Cephalic snuff.
In cases of catarrh or what is commonly called a
cold in the head, a pinch or two taken at night
on going to bed will, by moistening the mucus,
effectually remove all obstrtictions before morn-
ing. All those troubled with the hypochondria
or vapors, will find in this chemical preparation a
complete antidote. All sedentary and studious
persons of either sex will find by its occasional’
use, acheap and cheering relief from that lassi-
tude which invariably accompanies a long sitting
or mtich reading. This snuff is well stopt ‘in a
handsome square bottle made expressly for the
purpose, and which will be found to unite all" the
advantages of a snuff Box.
