And meaning in her air.

An innocent and liaruiless child
As ever yet was bortt.
This will tint kindle my desire, _
Or make me wish to wed;
Lest ignorance should quench the fire,

VVhat though her shape be faultless too;
Attd carriage alzttnode,

VVln.-rt’er she walks abroad.
The chari_nit1g puppet may pass by,
Or gently fall or rise: .
I will not littrt my peace; for I
Have cars as wcllas eyes.
I want to know the iitward state
And temper oflter mind;
If she will pout or rage, or fret-
Be gt.-ntlc. or unkind.
If her discnttrse is calm, and staid,
And jtidgtiicttt rttle her life ;
Nonsense may charni'us in a maid,
But never in a wife!
I love to see a female friend,
VVho looks as though she thought;
VVho on her household will attend,
And do wl1at’er site ought.

Kitchen and servants clean ;'

in D M. 1-:r.woon.
The town of N0t‘\v.tll(, Connecticut, was
first Dlll'(‘l1fl~‘Pt’I ofihe natives about tltt‘ your
l640 onlv twentv years alto-r the landing of
the Pilgrims at Plyntotith rock. It was at
that time irihablted by a i)l’.'ll'1ClIOfl.ht'I\IIttiI€"
gan [riltt-‘, who at the St'lllPmE’l'lI of the town
rrturntd again to the main bodv, and what is
now the eastern partof the State. Thera-
was one little Indian girl left behind. This
was done at the urgent requ!~‘sl of one of the
svlllers named Marvin, and having but one
child, a son. desired to adopt this girl, and
rear her as his own. She consented to re
main with them, and saw her trio-nds and
f.tmil_v depart for the home of their fathers
ithout app=tl'ettl. grit-f, though after they
were gone she went away byliersclf and
“opt. It was not strange-. Mabtoe was
vnung'__ a more child indeed, only seven
vearsvold, and almost a stranger to her newly
found friends. But she soon became recon-
t‘.llt't’I to her new mode of life, and \\ hon she-
had learned the language of the Enszlislt.
none ever 8|'\pt’?ll't'tl happier or more amiable
than the little Indian girl. She. spt-edilv

(I\\'Pllll'l_<_7S with great t-ortliality.
Ten years passed away and still Mahtoe
r_em:iimed in the family of Mr. Marvin.—
But what a change had those two years
wrought in her. Instead of the slender girl
she was now the well informed wornan.—
Tall, btit splendidly proportioned, she was
active as the deer. and almost as cm; and
timid. — She seemed to have lost many ofthe
characteristics of her race. or rather they
have been greatly utodifit-d by her continued
irttercotirse with a civilized people. For
she had been instructed during these ten
years in the same. lrnoxvlvdge, and with the
same care and labor that the children of the-
.Eot_i:lish enjoyed, She loved and respected

- her: friends and benefactors. and their man-
m-rs-’-and niode of life had been gradually
t.doptt=d'as her own; so that by the time
