THE I'Ll HESS OP* BERRY.
Tl.e m»rrh-g jf the Duchess of Berry, is
j an event of great importance to the Freurh
! people. Whi'e tb>- exihd king Charles X.
was on the throne of Kranee,her son, a lad of
about 14 years old, was heir presumptive to
the crown. <Diaries X had two son*, the
[l»ukc of Angoukim- and the Duke of Berry.
Angouleme was the Dauphin and heir appa
I rent, b.U he having no rhildren, and the Duke
: of Berry having beeu assassinated at a theatre
j in Paris, m | S34, his son became the next in
order after bis uncle, the Duke of Angouleme.
! T,,r luture hopes of the reigning faanly weie
(t!ier.'fore coiiceutrak-d in the sou of the pre
•cat Duchess of Berry, who had the title
I of Duke of Bordeaux.* tin the expulsion of
i Charles X. and hi* family in 183(1, after their
arrival in England, Charles and his sin, the
Duke of Angouleme, abdicalad their preten
sions in favor of the young Duke of Bordeaux.
Ever since that time, the Duche** of Berry
has been endeavoring to mukc interest in fa
vor of the elevation of hrr son to the throne
■ tier partisans, embracing all the friends of
jibe exiled family in and out of France.
\ called the CarILtt, have been busy in trying to
create discontent against the present king,
Louis Philippe. Although they have excited
commotions and seditious ct dub-rent times
| they have been put down by ihe strong arm cf
the government, and linally, when the Duch
ess of Berry herself, ventured to cuter France
! secretly, and continued to stir up sedition, she
twas, after encountering various perils and
hardships, betrayed by a confidant, and taken
J prisoner by the Government. She was placed
jin prison at the Citadel of Blayc, where she
i remained at the last accounts. Still she had
| many daring and active parti*ans, who annoy
ed the Government, and kept the people in a
/state of rxritcment. It is suppposed that
I her recent acknowledgement ol her secret
marriage, will tend to annihilate the Imt^s of
the Carlbts, and put them dow n as a formi
dable party. If so, it will prove an important
event towards the tranquillity of France. To
whom she has been married, remains thus far
a secret.

trary , me now living with her at Parma.—
General Nrypcrg died about three years ago.
and she is still a widow. It was the source ol
great mortification to the Trench people, who
' were generally the ardent admirers of Na
poleon, to find that the widow of tbtir incom
parable Emperor should have condesctr.drd
to marry again, and to on« of sc^low degree,
compared to the Emperor of the. French, and
King of Italy. The admirers of Na|*>Jeon
could never speak of her but with detestation.
It may be, that a similar sentiment will row
animate those who bare been the parUxai** of
tho Duchess of Berry, and it wall dimmish
I the respect of all Trance.

To Die above letter Mr. Pisoaway appends
the follow mg remark* t
j " Thi* Singular custom of Iht'er.mf the

ward, until it ** scarcely to bo seen in tb« re-1
mote tribes near the mountaius. H,!<# t|,r
tolly is confined to a few families only. Tlie
; rarlu-e must have commenced at a very ear
ly period, as Columbus noticvd it among tin
first objects that met bis attention. Ad essen
tial point of beauty with these savages is a
jUl haul. Immediately after the birth of a
child, the mother, anxious to procure the
recommendation of a broad forehead for her
infant, plaoc* it in a compressing machine_.
This is a cradle formed like a trough, with
one end where the head reposes, more
elevated than the other. A padding is then
placed upon the forehead, w hu b presses a
gainst the head by cord* passing through holes i
on each side of the cradle. The chihl is kept
m this manner upwards of a year, and the
operation is to gradual as to ho' attended with
scarcely any pain. During this period of com
pression the infant prcsculs a frightful appear
ance, its little keen black eves being forced
, out to an unnatural degree by tbc pressure of
the bandage*. When relieved from this pro-1
■ •s. the head is flattened, and seldom ex
ec-- more than one or two indies m thick
ness. Nature with all its «Iforts ran never
afterwards restore the proper shape. The
: heads of grow n persons often f irm a straight
ii .e from the nose to the top «.i the forehead,
•o widely does a Flat-head dill’ r from the rest
of the great family of man. So great is this
dillerencc as to eotn|iel anatomists themsrlvc*
to confess that an examination of such skulls
and occuiar demonstration only, could have *
I conv inced them of the posaibihty of moulding !
the head into this form. The *“ human fare
! Divine” is thus sacrificed to fantastic ideas t,f
^savage beauty. They allege a« an apology
for this ciistam, that their slaves have ruunl
heads, and Inal the rhildren «.f a brave and
free race ought not to sutler such a degrada
tion.
Thh deformity, hoirrrcr. of the Flat-Head
Indians is redeemol by numerous good quali
ties. Travellers relate that they have fewer!
i vices than any of the tribes in those revest
They arc honest, brave and peaceable. The
women become exemplary wives and hm>
liters, and a husband with an unfaithful com
panion is a circumstance almost unknown a-,
, tnong them. They believe in the existence
of a good and evil Spirit, with rewards and
punishments of a future state. Their rrli
' i?ion promises to the virtuous after death a
climate where perpetual summer will shine
over plains filled with their inucli loved buf
|falo, and upon streams abounding in the most
delirious fish. Here they will spend their
• time in hunting aud fishing, happy and undis
turbed from every enemy ; white the Lad In.
Mian will be consigned to a place of eternal
(snowa, with fires in his sight that he rannot
(enjoy, and buffalo anJ deer that cannot be
I caught to satisfy hiv hunger.
A curious Uaditioa prevails among them
concerning beavers. These animals, so cele
bratrd /or their sagacity, they believe are a
{ fallen race of Indians, who may have been
condemned on account of their wickedness,
by the great Spirit, to their present form of
' brute creation. At tome future* period they
also declare that these fallen creatures will
be r«-«lored to their former state.

STOLEN KISS
*** fsiUHionn we M*>aiwo*v.
The follow mg anecdote, related of • high
ly respectable and talented clergyman, now
preaching within Urn- vicinity of l.yuu, Mas
sachusetts, it from the Messenger, published
in that town. It appear* Uiat thu clergyman
had Ken settled for anine time, and had got
pretty well along in year*, when he became
• ousckmu that, m refers ace to worldly mat
ters, tUrr yet remained one thing needful, to
gi'e him that weight of character which it
w as dcsiraole ho should posse**, and also to
enhance if not to perfect hi* earUily felicity,
' u *** *,i;lp mate. Immediately on the con
ception of thi* idea, he bcg*m anxiously to
dooU about; but Laving neglected thu import
U,,t *o long, as might have been ex
pected, he imbibed many of those strange and
unaccountable noti. i.*w*> pe< uliar to the *in
gle ld<ssed of either sex, after they had at
tained a certain age ; and these operated U>
his disadvantage m such wise, that lie found
it extremely difficult to select one at whose
side he thought lie couUl, without aay "fear
ful fort bod mgs," Stand bcfoiv the altar of
lly men.
Now it become known to the damsel* round
a.. »ul lirre how Mr. ■■ was then nrrtim
'.tanced, and many there were who would fain
have relieved hi* embarrassment. Home joio
cd hi* church; and many more were seen to
blush like the first rose of summer, if, in the
progress of hi* dispensation from the pulpit,
should drop hi* eye toward the pew in
w hich they were seated—though of courw
thej care net irkno* lodge even to tbemselree
any thing in particular, because of the great
doubt relative to the sice versa of the c-ase.
Hut to make a short story shorter ._Tra-»
veiling into town one night about du»k, parson
^ occasion |<i call at the mansion of
an C'tccmed parishioner, who, among other
worldly pursejaions, had two or three at fine
daughter* as ever graced the county of Easel,
lie had acarre knocked at the door, when it
was hastily opened by one of these blooming
maidens, who a* quick as thought threw her
arm* arcutd Ins neck, and before he had times
Jo say, ‘ O! don’t,’ brought her warm, delicate
lips to hi*, and gave Inin a* sweet a kiss as
ever heart of sw ain desired. In uttaraston
idiinciit, the worthy divine was endeavoring
to stammer out something, when—‘O mercy.
mercy ' Mr.-, is this you V exchomed (ho
damsel, * w hy I thought as much as could be,
it was my brother Henry.' * Pshaw, phsaw !•
thought the celibate, ‘you didn’t think any
-nch thing. But taking her hand, he saul, its
•* -/•v'-tring tone, 4 there i* no harm done—
don’t give yourself any uneaainesa—though
J..U ougr.1 IUDC1 little more careful.’ After
tin* gentle reproof, lie was ushered into the
parlor, l»j the maiden, who, as she came to
ilic light, could not conceal the deep blush
that glowed on her cheek—and the boquet
tha#was pinned upon her bosom (for all thus
happened in summer) shook like a flower
garden m an earthquake. And when he a
rose to depart, it somehow fell to her lot to
wait upon him to the door; and it may be
added, that in the entry they held discourse
together fox some n.mutes—on what subject
it is not tor us to say.
As the w arm-hearted pastor plodded hone*
ward, he argued wilh himself in this wise: —
‘ If Mm-kt.cw it to be me who knocked
at the duo*, and I verily believe she did, eko
h"W should she know me in the dark, liefom
l had time to speak? And is it probable that
her brother would knock before entering?_
She must be desperately in—pshaw ! pshaw •
Out supposing .he did thiuk me to be her bro
ther?—why, if she lutes a brother at that
rate, how much must »he lose her husband —
for, by the great squash, I never felt such a
kiss in my life.'
"v have only to add—that it wn not long
after this, that Mr. Lad occasion to sum
mon a brAlter in the ministry to the perform
ance cf one of tl*e most solemn as well aa
pleasant duties attai hrd to the sacred other •
and that the lovely Miss —— above spoken
of, thereupon became Mrs. -; whom w«
doubt not. many of our readers well know,
though perhaps they never before heard the
above anecdote.
