NATURE.-ln the study Of Nature, how
many beautiful exempli6cations Of human
motives and actions do we continually meet
with! Comparison or the discovering offan.
ciful resemblances between the natural and
the moral world is the peculiar province and
artof the poet. In DR.. Goods Book Of Ma.
!ture we find the following most interesting
botanical fact: -
@I'he male Of the 'valisneria spiralis,' an,
aquatic diacous plant, has a long spiral stem,
by which its flower is enabled al all times TO
adapt itself to the surface Of the water, from
the bottom of which the plant shoots forth,
and to float in the middle of tide streams Of
almost every variation Of ascent. The stem
Of the female is straight and much shorter:
and it is hence only found in shallow waters,
or shores, where the tide exerts but little in
fuence. How extraordinary the means by
which these two communicate! Without
such communication no increment Of the
plant can take place, AS the male advances
to maturity the long stem dries and breaks,
and the flower detached from its original
home, sails CALAMITY over the surface Of the
water in search Of mate" BY what mys-
ferrous influence is he attracted to his kind2
Is it by some Odour or aromy, as Dr.. Good
philosophically conjecturesG Is it not so with
the lover? who, young and ardent, breaks
the tie that binds him to his kindred, sails
gaily over the tide Of human affairs till he is
attracted by some mysterious sympathy to
the one nature intended for his companion.

In THE EVENING.

The several ball rooms and places of amuse-
ments were filled with crowds of gentlemen
and ladies attracted to the city by the novelty
and interest Of the great occasion. In the
course of the evening, the President of the
United States paid short visit to each Of
the assemblies held in honor of the inaugu-
ration, and was received with the warmest
demonstrations of attachment and respect.
The END OF THE Day
Was marked, as its progress from the early
morning hour had been, by quiet and order;
not only remarkable but astonishing, con-
the watts crowds of persons, the ex-
of the occasion, and the temptations
which it offered to undue exhilaration.

IL pacific banner, or the stand OF colors of
some volunteer company.
| While patiently waiting for the arrival of
the President, the mass OF heads resembled
lsome placid lake, not in perfect calm, but
lgently rippledby passing breeze, its waters
I'm perpetual but gentle motion; but the fn-
Istant he was seen advancing from the Capi-
tol, Il suddenly resembIed that same lake
when blastfrom the mountain has descend
fed upon it. thrown it into tumultuous agita-
ltion, and lifted it up its hands on high.' A
deafening shout went up fromthe glad hearts
and exulting voices of an emancipated peo-
Iple. 1t sung welcome to the man whom the
people delight to honor, and must have met
with overwhelming power, the throbbing Of
his own bosom.
When the uproar had subsidized, it was sue
lceeded by the deep stiffness ofexpectation,
and the new President forthwith proceeded
to read, in accents loud and clear, his adj
dress TO the nation. In its delivery, the
voice of Gen. Harrison never tagged, but to
the end retained its full and commanding
tone. AS he touched on successive topics
lying near the heart of the people, their
lsympathy with hissentiments was manifest
ed by shouts which broke forth involuntary
lly from time to time; and when the reading
lnewed and prolonged without restraint.
Previous to delivering the closing senten-
ces Of the address, the oath of Office, tender
ed by the Chief Justice, was taken by the
President, in tones loud, distinct and solemn,
manifesting due and deep impression of
the act: after which, the President pronoun-
ced the remaining passage of his address.
The pealing cannon then announced to
the country that it had new Chief Magis-
Itrate. The procession was again formed
and setting out from the Capitol, proceeded
along Pennsylvania Avenue 10 the mansion
of the President, cheering throughout the
whole route as General Harrison passed, by
Immense crowds on foot which lined the
avenue, and the hardly less numerous as
sembly of females who filed the doors and
windows along the whole route.
AT THE PRESIDENTS House.
| Nearly the whole throng of visiters accom-
panied the President TO his new abode, and
as many as possible entered and paid their
personal respects TO him. The whole buiId-
ing, however, could hardly contain fortieth
part of them, so that many were unable to
obtain admission at all. A popular President
will, on such an occasion, always be sur
rounded by more friends than it is possible
for him to receive and recognize otherwise
than in masses.
The CLOSE OF THE Day
Was marked by the repetition Of salutes
from the artillery, the whole city being yet
alive with population of strangers and resi-
dents.
