NATURE.

The following eloquent conclusion is extracted
from article by Rev. Mr.. Pierpont. After speak
ing of the varying changes of nature he says-
If then the beauties of the year fading, and
its bounties SO soon perish if the loyeest scenes
of nature soon lose their power to charm and q
few revolving years break the spell that binds US to
those whom we love best; if the very figure of the
earth is changed by It's own convulsons; if the form
Of human government, and the monuments of hu-
man power and skill cannot endure-if even the re-
ligions that predominant in age exploded in
anoher-if nothing on the " earth beneath or the
under the EARTH" preserves its form unchang-
ed what is there that remains forever the same
What is there which the au,umnal winds and
wntry frost have no pawerl What does not pass
away while we are contending with wayward for
tune, or struggling with calamity? What then is
proof against the fluctuations of human opinion,
and the might of the oceans waves when moun-
tains are heaved up from the abyss, thrown from
their deep foundations"

You that have to hear, eyes to see, tongues
to taste, throats to swallow, draw I say and
pick up the crumbs which l shall scatter among
ye; the crumbs of comfort wherewiih ye must be
crammed, until ye become chickens of grace and
are cooped up i'll the coop ofrighteousnes. If your

what trade Adam was? If you don't, III tell you.
Why, Adam was planter, for he planted, the Gar
den of Eden. Now, do you know what was the frs.
thing Adam set in his garden. Ho ho, you don't,
don't you? Then will tell ye--his foot! His foot,
say, was the frs, thing Adam set in his garden.
BUT he could not keep it thereno, no, no, he could
not keep it there for Lucifer came behind him, trip.

NEE, for battle, the former darts forward to the height
Of his speed, and strikes at The neck Of the latter
with unerring certainty, leaving foot or two OF
upper part of his own body at liberty. In an in
slant he cncircles him within FIVE or six folds no
then stops and looks the srangng and gasping foe
in the face, to ascertain the effect produced upon
his corsetted body. Ii he shows signs of life tho
coils are multiplied, and the screws tightened; the
operator all the while narrowly watching the coun.
tenance Of the helpless victim. Thus the two re.
main thirty forty minutes the executioner then
slackens one coil, noticing, at the time, wheth-
er any signs of life appear il so, the coil is resum-
ed and maintained until the incarceratod wretch is
completely dead-The moccasin snake is destroyed
in the same way.

NATURAL. HISTORY.

The Rattle Snake finds superior foe in the Deer
and the Black Snake. Whenever a buck discovers
Rattle Snake in a situation that invites attack. he
ooses time in preparing for battle. He makes
up to within ten or twelve feet of the snake then
leaps forward. and aims TO sever the body of the
snake with his sharp bfurcaed hoofs. The first
onset is most commonly successful but f otherwise,
The buck repeats the trial until he cuts the snake in
twain. The rapidiy and fatality of his skillrul
manGuvre, leave but slight chance for it's victim
either TO escape to inject it's poison into its antag
onsi. The black snake Is also more than equal
competitor against the rattle snake. Such is its
ery Of motion, only in running, hut 10 cntwin-
ing itself round s victn, that the rattle snake has
no way Of escaping from his fatal embrace.

MEMORY.

Past events are to the mind what perspective is
to the natural eye. They form sort of picture,
consisting of those recent events which have trans
pred, and on that account appear like contiguous
objects, in bold relief and colorng upon the mind;
and also of circumstances more remote, decreasing
gradually in mental size and coloring, until, as
memory becomes faint, they seem like dim speck
upon the remotcst landscape. This may account
for the various impressions which events of different
intervals produce upon the memory, which, like the
loud and soft notes of music heard at different dis.
tauces affect the mind with correspondent emotions.
Therefore, if would rightly improve the powers
of memory, and render her instructions more bene.
fetal and permanent, we must increase the light Of
intellectual aud moral information, for in proportion
to the briIliancy of this will be the influence and inn.
preston communicated TO the understanding.

THE SLANDEREB'S GRAVE.

May the spot be unnoted. unknown,
BY the footsteps Of man unimpressed,
Where the corpse of the slanderers thrown,
Aud the turf rises over his breast.
May plant Of affection grow there,
No cypress, or willow. or yew,
No fresh blooming roses to perfume the oir.
Ger the grave of the heart so untrue.
But may all be desert and desolate wild
Where rest the remains of a heart so defled
May no laurel or bright evergreen
Nor bud, a blossom Of verdure be seen,
Near spot ungenal be placed,
To bloom a towerless waste;
But may night shade and nettles o'erspread
The earth where the slanderer lays
And their rankness dfuse DER the covered bed
Where his form unamented decays.
For thus he, while living. his malice did spread
Where venom cen Scathed the repose Of the dead
~
And may wormwood luxurate. too,
And imbue with its rankness the air,
And when frou, the heaven descends the night dew.
May it sleep in fell bitterness there;
For his was bosom Of gall,
Where feeling pity ne'er dwelt,
For its scattered its nldews alike over all,
And full oftby the good were they felt
More iell IN the slanderers poisonous breath
Than the blast Of the smoon-ihc dark wind of death
And cold be the pace ofhis rest
As the heart that is withering there
For his moral existence was dark ard unbcs,,
And no friend DER his grave shed tear,
And may such ever be the just dsom
Which earth to the sanderer's given,
For his spirit eternity hath not lome
OF repose in the mansions of heaven;
And none but the former of demon should bear,
The heart which brothers fair fame, should impair

Which comes like winds o'er waters stealing;

It's full rich notes in rapture pealing,
Bids the lone heart rejoice again
In music's alI-subduing strain.

On messy couch on infant dreaming
On rising into raptures wild,

dy who occasionally " entertained man and beast"
remarkable for her unfeeling coveteousness. One
day weary and furnished soldier called Al, her house
and asked for refreshment-hs nppeaian indcn-
ed extreme poverty-ihe old lady thought his means
not adequate to remunerate her for a very simple
repas, she placed before him a dish OF bones,
which looked as though they had been pretty faith

when he had finished their second examination.
The boy, pitying the traveller, and willing 10 give
his parent reproof for her parslmouy, told his guest
upon rising from the table, that he was welcome
