FRIENDSHIP.

"FRIENDsHIPls a plant of delicate
growth. 1t cannot be neglected with
impunity. People may love each O.
ihertruly and heartily; they may grow
to each other in their devout pulsation,
till they have literally but n heart,
and one soul; yet a little neglect, a We
ny little, constantly operating, as
it always Wills in a geometrical
proportion, acting and reacting
forever, will be sure to sunder
them at last, and deaden all their SEN
sibilities. A certain degree ofcommu-
nion-daiIy communion if possible-is
necessary, between people that are
growing old together. Our appetites
opinions, and modes of thinking, are
all to change. We know that. But
we learn to accommodate ourselves to
this change, while it is gradual; and
while it is only gradual, like the
growth of children, or the approach
ofold age, upon those with whom we
daily associate, we do not observe it, &
are never started by it. But, that in
tercourse interrupted for awhile, we
meet our dearest friends, almost like
strangers, Have you not met some
n that had been dear to you many
years before, after a long and trying
separation; during which, no letters
CAME from him, TO tell the growth of
his understanding, or the change of
his heart; and no intelligence whate-
yer from them that had seen him, and
could tell how he looked and spoke?
And did you not meet that friend, and
could tell how he looked and spoke?
And did you not meet that friend, ra.

any rising at all of the heart-a rising
like a cold spring of water, too sud

may find adders there. Some sweet

THE KENTUCKY LADIES.

The author OF a series ofletters con
the condition Of Kentucky" Published
in the Richmond Enquirer, says:
1.-THE Indies in Kentucky are in gen.
eral larger in stature than in your state.
Sprlnging, as it were, from a richer
soil, their persons indicate a regular,
we'll proportioned, and more health
iul growth;--they are large enough to
be stately, without being awkward;
their symmetry is more the gift of ma
ture than OF art and fashion; their fea.
lures are IN general regular and hand
some, without being beautiful, and are
well adapted to convey the impression
Of animproved mind. Their deport.
ments are in general dignifed, evin-
cling exalted virtues, yet gracefully
understanding, easy, candid, and an
affected. Accustomed to social inter
course, and a frequent introduction to
strangers, they are at once affable, re-
ceive a gentleman as a friend, and a
stranger as an acquaintance. The gen
circus hospitality of their hearts is dis
played in the kindness of their man.
ners. Their style of dress is neat, ca
sy, and fashionable, though sometimes
Too ornamental.
SIN general their minds are stored
with substantial and useful knowledge,
and in many instances embellished
with the fashionable accomplishments.
Cheerful in disposition, their CONVEX
satlon is ~seasonably lively and inter
esting; the follies and foibles ofthe sex,
and the beauties of a beau, or the fash.
ions OF a dress, yield to more rational
and edefying subject of conversations.
The ladies of Kentucky possess all
that is useful belonging to their sex in
any state, but they are destitute of the
engaging softness of the southern, and
attractive beauty ofthe northern ladies'.
] met, however. with a few indi
viduals ofthe sex who possessed every
thing that was necessary TO please the
tye, to interest the heart, and delight
the mind"

dark color which is peculiar to vitrl-
fled scorie. At the port of Guayaquil

distant IN strait line from the Crater,
we heard day and night, the noise OF
this volcano, like continual discharges

The form Of Cotopaxi is the most

perfect cone, which covered with per-
petual layer of snow, shines with daz-
cling spendor at the setting Of the sun,
and detaches itself in the most pictur-
esque manner from the azure vault
above. This covering Of the snow,
conceals from the eye OF the observer,

NATURAL HISTORY.
COTOPAXI.


This mountain is the Hottest of those
volcanoes of the Andes, which at re-
cent epochs, have undergone eruptions.
Notwithstanding it lies near the Equa-
tor, its SUBMITS are covered with per-
petual SHOWS. The absolute height Of
Cotopaxi, is 1876 feet, or three miles
and half, consequently il is 1852 feet,
or half a. mile higher than Vcsuvius
would be, were that mountain placed
on the top of the peak Of Teneriffe =
Cotopaxi is the most mischieyous OF
the volcanoes in the kingdom of Quito;
and its explosions are the most frequent
and disastrous. The masses of scoria
and the pieces of rock thrown out OF
this volcano cover surface of several
square leagues, and would form, were
they heaped together, prodigious
mountain. In 1888 the flames OF Co
topaxi, rose 5000 feet, or upwards OF
half mile, above the brink of the era
Ter. In l744, the roarings of this vol
cano were heard at the distance Of 600
miles. (. On the 4th April, 1868, the
quantity Of ashes elected at the mouth
Of Cotopaxi was SO great, that it was
dark till three in the afternoon.
The explosion which took place in
1908, was proceeded by the sudden
melting of the SHOWS which covered
The mountain For 90 wears before,
no smoke or vapour, that could be per-
ceived had issued from the crater; but
in single night, the subterraneous
fires became so active, that at sun rise

PICHINCHA.

Though celebrated for its great
height, Pichincha is S,4se feet, or
| three fourths of mile lower than the
perpendicular elevation Of Cotopaxi.-
1t was formerly volcano; but the
mouth or crater on one Of its sides is
now covered with sand or calcined
matter, so that at present neither
smoke nor ashes issue from it.
Whenit was assembled by Don George
Juan and Don Antonio de Ulloa, for the
purpose of their astronomical observa-
tons, they found the cold on the top OF
this mountain extremely intense, the
wind very violent, the fog, or in other
words the cloud, so thick, that objects
at the distance OF six or eight PAGES
were scarcely discernible. On the air
becoming clear, the clouds descended
nearer the earth, in such manner as
to surround the mountain on all sides
to v1st distance, these clouds Afforded
a lively representation of the sea, in
which the top of the mountain seemed
10 stand, like an island in the centre.
With aspect mild and elevated,eye,
Behold him seated on a mount serene,
Above the fogs of sense, and passions storms
All the black cares and tumults of his life,
Like harmless thunders, breaking at his feet
Excite his pity, not impair his peace.
You've
When the clouds descended, the as.
tronomers head the dreadful noise Of
tempests, which discharged them
selves on the adjacent country.
They saw the lightning issue from
the clouds; and heard the thunder roll
far beneath them.
While tee lower parts were thus IN
volved in temptsts Of thunder and rain
they enjoyed a delightful serenity; the
wind abated the sky cleared, and the
enlivening rays of the sun moderated
the severity Of the cold. But when
the clouds rose, their density render
ed respiration difficult, snow and hail
fell continually, and the winds returned
with such violence, that it was impos-
pible to overcome the fear of being
blown down the precipices, or OF be-
ing buried by the accumulation OF ice
and snow, or by the enormous frag-
ments of rocks which rolled around
them. Every crevice in their hut was
stopped and though the hut was small,
was crowded with inhabitants, and Sc
veral lamps were constantly burning,
the cold was so great, that each indi-
vidual was obliged to have a chatting
dish of Goals, and several men were
employed every morning in removing
the snow which had fallen during the
night.
Their feet were swollen, and they
became so tender and sensible; that
walking was attended with extreme
pain, their hands also were covered
with chilblains, and their lips were SO
swollen and chapped, that every mo-
ton in speaking brought blood.
