PROSE SKETCHES AND PoEMs.-Light and Hor-
ION have just issued very novel volume with this
title, written in, and descriptive of the western
country, by Albert Pike, an original and talented
writer We shall notice it more particularly IN an
other number contenting ourselves for the present
with the following extract from his Journey IN the
Prairie.
WILD HoRsEs.-It seems astonishing that from
the few horses introduced so short time since IN
to America, by the Spanards, there should now DC
such immense herds in the prairie, and IN possess
ion of the Aboriginals. Hardly day passed with
out our seeing herd of them, either quietly iced
ding or careerng OFT wildly in the dstance.-They
are the most beautiful sight to be met with in the
prairie. Of all colors, but most commonly of bay
with their names floating in the wind they present.
ed beautiful contrast to the heavy, unweldy herds
of buffalo, which seem, at their best speed, to
be moved by some kind Of clumsy machinery. Some
old patriarch always heads the gang and possesses
the command over them. We were witnesses, on
one particular occasion, to example of commu-
nication between these animals which proves them
possessed Of something nearly allied to the power
of speech. We had seen a herd feeding at a dis
tance and we watched, them, to what effect
would be produced upon them, when they should
receive our smell in the air, or as hunters say, the
wind of us, which was blowing across our path in
their direction. On feeling it they started in
slow trot headed as usual by noble looking old
patriarch. Three only, of the whole herd, were
bold enough separate and take another direction.
On discovering this detection of his troops, the old
chief turned back, and the whole herd halted Trot-
ing briskly to the three deserers, he communicated
with them for moment or two, and probably find
ing remonstrance unavaing, started back, and put
his followers in motion, quickly accelerating their
gait to gallop. You may see the leader sometimes
before and sometimes behind his troops, biting
them, and urging them on, by every means in his
power As to the tale of their keeping one of their
number as sentinel, believe nothing of it. Their
acute smell gives them sufficient warning, and does
away the need of sentry.

The summer is past, and perhaps with the writer

a little handful of earth, affecting comment upon
our vanity and folly. All did we but realize and
feel this important TRUTH how different--how very
very different would be the OF our lives. Did
we in our moment of temptation, when we find our
hearts turning towards the things of this world but
reflect that all its enjoyments fading as dream,
how little should we care for all its honors. What
to us would be the homage of thousands, what to us
the adulation and applause of the multitude few

The Iucti0aeer.-Ihere is no man who spends so
much breath, who talks fast, and is so lavish of
words, the Auctoneer. He repeats the same
thing over and over again. and never grudges his
labor. He is fond of smart sayings and sudden
turns in the sense; and he is witty, at the expense
Of his goods or the expense Of his customers. He
can talk of several different things at once, and
without confusion. But he sometimes very ludic-
rousy mixes up different subjects in the same sem
tence.
For instance, lately dropping in at book auction
there happened to be man who annoyed the COM
pany and the auctioneer with segar. The book
had gone up to twenty seven cents and half, and
the auctioneer dwelling upon it, cried,"An half
and half, and a half when smelling the annoy
ance, he shouted out" D-n your segar - and a

to receive them. The patient thinking that it was
his blood that rckled into the basins became weaker
and weaker by degrees and the remarks of the
medical men in attendance in referance to the quail
ity and appearance of the blood (made with that in-
tenton) increased the deusion, and he spoke more
and more family until his voice length scarce
ly audible. The profound silence which reigned in
the apartment, and the constant dropping of the
fountan had extraordinary effect on the brain
of the poor patient that all his vital energies were
soon gone, although before a very strong man, and
he died without having lost single drop of blood

lister of Justice to be allowed an opportunity of pro-
wing what he asserted, by an experiment on a crm.
ina condemned to death. The minister complied
with his request, and delivered over to him an assas-
sin, man who had been born of distinguished pa
rents. The physician told him that several parsons
who had taken interest in hls family had obtained
leave of the minister tha, he should suffer death in
some other way than on the scaffold, to avoid the
disgrace of a public execution and that the easiest
death he could die would be by blood-letting: The
criminal agreed to the proposal and counted himself
happy in being freed from the painful exhibition
