BRYANT.
The origin Of the prairie has given rise tt
much speculation. Some contend that we are
to regard these vast plains in the same light
as mountains, valleys, forests, and other grand
features of Natures workmanship. And, it is
very true, plains ofa character not dissimilar
are to be met with all over our earth; at every
degree ofelevation, of every extent, and Of
every stage offertility, from the exhaustless
fecundity of the delta of the Nile to the bar
rem sterility of the sands Of the desert. North
ern Asia has her boundless pastures and step
pes, where the wild Tartar feeds his flock;
Africa may boast other Bedouin sands, her ta-
Die lands, and her karroos; South America her
grassy pianos and pampas; Europe her purple
heather; Iuda her jungles; the southern sec
tions of our own land their beautiful savanaas;
and wherefore not the vast regions of the
"Far West" their broad-rolling prairiesi
The word is of French derivation, signifying
meadow; and is applied to every description
of surface destitute of timber clothed with
grass. 1t was, then, upon their own fair prai-
ries Of Judea and Mesopotamia that the ancient
patriarchs pitched their tents. The tough
sward of the prairie, when firmly formed, it is
well known, refuses to receive the forest; but,
once broken into by the pioughshare or by any
other cause, and protected from the autumnal
flames, and all is soon rolling in green; and the
sumach, the hazel, and the wild cherry, are
succeeded by the oak. Such then is the argu-
ment for the natural origin of the prairies,
and its cogency none will deny. But assuming
for moment diluoial origin of these vast
plains, as a thousand circumstances concur to
Indicate, and the phenomena are far more sat-
isfactorily and philosophically resolved. In a
soil SO exhaustlessly fertile, the grasses and
herbs would first secure possession of the sur
face. Even now, whenever the earth is thrown
up, from whatever depth, it is Immediately
mossed with verdure by the countless embry-
os buried in its teeming bosom, proof incon-
testable Of secondary origin. After the gras-
ses succeeded Towering shrubs; then the lar
ger weeds; eventually, thickets are formed,
the surface was baked and hardened by the
direct rays of the sun, and the bosom of the
soil, bound up as ifby bands of brass and iron,
utterly refuse to receive or nourish the seeds
of the forest now strcwn over it. Thisis the
unavoidable conclusion wherever natural eau
ses have held their sway. Upon the borders
of rivers, creeks, and overfowing streams, or
wherever the soil has become broken, this Sc
ries of causes was interrupted, and the result
we see in the numerous island groves, and in
the forests which invariably fringe the water
courses, great and small. The autumnal fires,
too, aboriginal tradition informs us, have an
nually swept these vast plains from an ora
which the memory of man faileth 10 record,
scathing and consuming every bush, shrub, OF
thicket which in the lapse Of ages might have
