Open to angel visits, and repeis
The ministry oil-'tiS human love!
God hath made nothing worthy of contempt
The smallest pebble in the well oftruth

The law of heaven is love, and tho its name
Has been usurped by passion, and prottned
TO its unholy uses through all time,
Still the eternal principle is pure;
And in these deep affections that we feel
Onnipotent within us, we but see
The lavish measure IN which love is given;
And in the yearning tenderness of a child
For every bird thai sings above his head,
And every creature feeding on the hills,
And every tree and flower and running brook,
We see how every thing was made to love;
And how they err, who, in world like this.
Find any thing to hate but human pride.

THE OLDEN TIM ES.

The modern fashion adopted by our
bellies of wearing bushes is not so new as
many persons imagine. In the reign Of
James l, the fashion of ladies wearing
verdingales, in order to make themselves
appear to have enormously large hips,
appears to have reached its height; and
abort the same period the men adopted
the plan of stulfing their trunk hose for
the same purpose. A writer of the day
dies cribes these stuffed trunk hose as a
sort Of "yerdingale breeches." This RI
diculous custom occasionally led the
wearers into awk ward predicalnenls. On
one occasion i. is related that Young
man, so dressed and disleEded with bran,
while in conversation with some ladies',
unfortunately tore his hose with nail,
and all the bran escaped, leaving hin, SO
much reduced in size as 10 BE- scarcely
recognizable. At one time law was
passed prohibiting the men against wear
ing their brooches stuffed with bays; and r
man, having been &hcn before ajuslice on
seppostion of infringing this law, es,ab-
llshed his innocence by drawing forth the
stuiling, which consisted of a pair of
sheets, two table-cloths, len napkins, four
shirts, a brush, a comb, nigh,-caps, and
some other MINOR articles. The ladies,
who were the first to set the fashion in
this way, were not viii. behind the gen.
llemen in the size which they distended
themselves; but whether the gentlemen
Of the present day will have the gallahtry
to follow the fashion Of the ladies', and
adopt hustle breeches, ye! remains 10 be
sect.

ISOLATE and lonely, as aSlberIan waste, the
prairie exhibits itself in winter painless
and trackless, one vast expense of snow
seemingly spread out to ininity, like the
winding sheet OF a world.
The traveller of the "Rocky Mountains"
may rise with the early morning from the
centre of one of the great prairles, and
pursue his solitary journey until the set
ting of the sun, and yet not reach its con-
fines, which recede into the dim, distant
horizon, that seems it's only boundary.
He, however, will hear the busy hum Of
the bee, and mark the myriads of partl
colored butterflies, and other nsec is, that
fit around him; he will behold tens of
thousands of buffalo, grazing in the dis
lance, and the savage, but now peaceful
Indian, intent upon tie hunt; and he will
see troops of wild horses speeding over
the plain; shaking the earth with their
unshod hools, tossing their free names,
like slreamers TO the wind, and snorling
nercely with unbridled nostrils; the fleet
deer will, now and then, dart by him, the
wolf will rouse from his lair and look
askance and growl at him; andlhe little
prairie dog will! run to the top ofits tiny
mound and bark at him. before it retreats
to its den within it. No human being
may be the companion oflhe traveller in
the immense solitude, yet will he feel
that he is not alone--the wide eXpanss is
populous with myriads of creatures, and
in the emphatic language of the red man,

THE PRAIRIE
BY L. F. THcr IS.

Not the least remarkable features in
the Great Western Valley, are the Prai-
ries, which are found in every direction
over the face of its vast territory. They
are Of two kinds, the swelling or rolling,
and the level or flat. The former consist
of undulating fields, broken INTO swells
or reaches of various lengths and breadlhs
extending sometimes to all altitude of six
ty or seventy feet. Between those swells
are sloughs, or .!sloos," which are gen.
orally marshv and in many instances
contain small lakes or pools, and some
that are dry, exhibit the appearance of
tunnels, and answer a similar purpose in
carrying off water into the caverns be-
meath, the existence of which is indicated
by the soil above. The flat praires are
plains of rich alluvion, grown with long
lank grass, and occasionally presenting a
lake, and often studded here and there
with groves of wild crab apple, and clus-
tiers of forest trees that look like emerald
isles in a sea of waving green.
The Praries, are of various extent
from one mile 10 hundreds of miles. The
largest is the Far off West-the home of
the Buffalo and the red hunter. Wherever
they are partly cultivated, as most Of
them are, in the "Slates,' and where the
annual fires are discontinued, they soon
grow up with timber. Their soil is with
very few exceptions, entirely alluvial, and
yields immense crops of Indian Corn and
other coarse grain. When they exist in
the neighborhood Of settlements, they
afford excellent pasturage for horses and
cattle, and fine ranges for swine, and are
traversed by herds of deer, the number Of
which increases near the plantations,
when not in 100 close proximity, as their
greatest enemies, the black and prairie
wolves, decrease as cultivation advances.
Wild turkies, ducks, prairie fowls or
grouse, and quails and rabbits, also abound
on the praires, and afford great amuse-
ment to sportsmen. Numerous other
animals, as the gopher, the opossum, the
sacoon, Sc, are found in them Or on the
