fly: Twenty-Five years ago, in return for piece of red worsted binding which l gave to an Arkansas squaw, she presented me with a young beaver about the size of a cat I was pleased with the acquisition, intending eventually to present it to my old ] friend Peale, of the Philadelphia Museum it had been strictly secured from it's birth, but, on all occasions, it showed the strongest inclination to approach the water and make its escape it was not mischiev- ous, and fed kindly on Indian corn, dried pumpkins and green twigs. carried it with me for considerable time while nav igating on several ofthe western rivers, and it became with me favorite, and source of frequent amusement. At all times guarding against an escape into running or deep water, was in the habit of indulging it with bath whenever I encamped at night or stopped by day, and convenient stream or pool presented on the sand beach. I carried it in barrel in my ca noe, and to guard it from the intense heat ofthe sun, covered it with green branches, but these would not exclude the mosqui- toes, which tormented it necessarily, and to such an extent that could not resistils plaintive moans, and at length, most reluc- tautly, determined to release it; I accor- dingly removed the leash by which it was held, and threw the beaver from me into the Mississippi, without the slightest ex- pectation of ever seeing it again judge then of my astonishment and delight, when, in about ten minutes, having proba- bly, foa,ed an half mile, I heard it whine at my elbow; l extended my hand and a. gain restored it to the barrel; and subse- quently, during thousand miles of navi- gation, perhaps twenty miles day, l threw it into the river, when after it be- came tired its gambols, in swimming, and diving, sometimes to great depths, and threshing the water with it's tail, it would again come to my hand with an imploring look, to be again taken into the canoe.- For near month, after my arrival at New Orleans, was confined to my bed by ex- treme illness, aud did not see the Beaver 1;
 when coEvalescent, friend carried me to l his country house many miles from New
 Orleans, and one day, when asleep, sus-
 pended in hammock across the gallery,
 I was aroused by tho well known whine
 of my poor pet; it had that day been
 brought from the city by some of the plant ation negroes, and turned loose, and in half
 an hour had singled out its emaciated mas
 ter, and appeared to show evident symp-
 toms of pleasure and excitement on the oc-
 casion. This animal always appeared sensible to kindness, and exhibited an in- ] stinct SO acute as indeed seemed like more than half reasoning-but not sufficiently acute, however, 10 escape death from the rife of a Kentucky boatman, who took it to be straggler from some colony in the far distant west.

ON TOPPING THE STALKS OF INDIAN CORN.
 What is the effect upon the crop from the practice of topping the stalks or strip ping the blades of corn? I shall refrain from giving my own opinion in the case, but shall quote some authorities and state- ments, which certainly have weight and which with many will be deemed deci- sive.
 In late tour through neighboring coun- ty to visit some farms proposed for premi- ums, the subject came under discussion in field, where part of the corn had been topped early in August, and another part had been recently topped. This was the 9th September. The farmer himself, up- on being questioned before examination as to the expediency of early topping, answer ed, that in his opinion it was not injurious to the crop. Others of the gentlemen a. greed with him, maintaining that the office of the top-stalk being solely the impregna- ton ofthe ear, it might be removed with out injury when that office was rendered, which might be supposed to be the case as soon as the ear was well formed, and the silk beginning to change. Upon q careful examination of different parts of the field, however, I believe it was generally agreed, and admitted by the farmer himself, though opposed to his previous opinion, that the ears on the corn recently topped were bet ter filled out,' than on that where the top- stalks were cut early.
 On visiting the farm of another neat and skilful husbandman we proposed the same inquiry. He replied that he had made fair experiment, having in the same field, and side by side, topped portion eaIly, topping another portion late, and left a third portion untouched until harvest and that the result was very decidedly in favor of that which had not been cut, and pro- portionably in favor ofthas which had been late topped.
 It may be said that the increased value of the tops for fodder when cut in green rath- CT than in a dry state is an equivalent for the loss in the product of grain. will not presume to decide this though my own experience, and value my corn fod- der when we'll cured almost as much as my English Hay, is in favor of cutting up the whole field by the roots, when l cannot find an ear which is not too hard to roast and allowing it to ripen in the shock; in which case the butt or lower end being cured in green state and while the sap is retained in it, becomes almost as valuable as the top stalks.

JOSkac, Chap. Er. "Away from thy people, thou shredder of blood, Away to the refuge appointed of God! Nay, pause not to look for thy household and kin, For death is behind thee, thou worker of sim Away! look not back-when that sorrowinl one, The mother that bore thee shall wall for her son; Nor stay when thy wife beautiful blossom, Shall clasp thy fair child to her desOate bosom. Away, with thy face to the refuge afar, In the eye ofthe sun and the glow of the star; Tho the Simeon breathe o'er thee oppressive & warm Rest not by the fountain under the palm. Away, for the kinsman of him thou hast slain Hath breathed on thy head the dark of Cain; The cry of his vengeance shall follow thy path, The tramp of his foostep, the shout ot his wrath" And the Slayer sprang up as the warning was said, And the of the altar rang out to his tread;- The wall of his household was lost on his ear, He spoke not he paused not he turned not to hear. He fled to the desert he turned him not back When the rush of the sand storm grew loud in his
 track;
 Nor paused till his vision fell grateful and glad On the green hills of Gead-the dwellings of Cad.
