DEAR SIR:-You are aware
that we have now been here nearly
seven weeks; and have as yet done
little or noIhing. A whole day is fre =
quentiy consumed in discussing the in
dIU.duaI liability Of the trustees Of a
church corporation. One day it is de
lermined by vote, that the trustees shall
he Individually liable for the debts OF
tho church; and The next-some new
light breaking forth from the fountain
Of wisdom and democratic reform
(Messrs, McNully and ByiOgton)- by
way OF improvement on the action of
the previous day-the Individual lab
ty is extended to all the members Of the
corporation. This accomplished, the
genius Of reform goes forth in quest of
some new Improvement, and returns in
triumph with the fortunate discovery
1t is ascertaned that all is not yet per
feet, while the corporate property is re.
quired TO be first disposed Of. That
odlous feature is then attacked with (u
rious zeal, ard speedily demolished. |
believe we have, this session, made some
halt dozen improvements on the church
corporation liability; in addition to the
general law on the subject, passed at
the last session, which contains a provi'
sion also for individual liability, II our
constituents could but witness the zeal
we manifest IN thoir behalf they would
surely exclaim, "LOng liue the demOcrG.

1t is true, the continued flow of i'm
prove men on this important subject, Of
lords a wide field for exhibiting to an
asonished audience the very supe rioT
abiIhIes of our talented democratic re
formers. And it may be reckoned q
great loss 10 The public, that these gen

THE LOCUSTS.

To PoStmaSterS and EdiorS.-This sim
gular insect is at this time amusing the peo-
pie in various portions of the United States.
But as it appears in one year in one Sec
ton, and in another year in another, it is a
matter of great interest in natural history
to ascertain the boundaries and extent of
territory occupied by each family or dis
trict. announced a few days since that l
ascertained the existence of sixteen differ
ent dstricts--since then have discovered
two more, making eighteen districts or fam
lilies of Locusts If each Post Master in
places where locusts appear, will drop me a
line stating the fact of the appearance at
his location shall be able to make out a
complete map Of each district, embracing
every State, county town, &c. occupied by
each family of Locusts. This will give
little trouble to the Postmaster, and will be
of great service to the development of the
natural history of our country. will al
so send to every postmaster who shall send
me the information required above a book,
containing the whole natural history of the
insect. To editors who shall copy this arti-
Gle and send me copy Of the paper con-
tanning it, l will also send copy of the
book above mentioned, when published. If
editors Of papers and Postmasters comply
with this request | shall be able to present
to them the history of the most curious in
sect of the world. 1t must be obvious that
nothing but the agency of the postmasters
and editors, as above can accomplish the
object; and | ask of them more freely, be-
cause can have no personal interest in it..

UNCLE JEFFRY AND COUSIN IDA.
BY CHARLES HAMILTON.

had been bordering in my mind, for
some time, as to what should do with my
self during the coming vacation. To stay
at - three whole May weeks, with
nothing but cats, servants and tutors, was
not TO be thought of, and going home was
out of the question, as 1T would take our al
lotted three weeks to get there.
"Egad, have it now" cried /, "Tll make
Uncle Jeffry visit. He lives about twen-
ty miles from here, and had, when visited
him some eight years ago, pretty little
niece, who has, no doubt, grown to be a
very pretty cousin by this time."
Acting from the impulse of the moment,
! booked myself for an "inside" in the -
mail, and was the next morning on my way
to Belmont. Feeling in the mood for a
joke, and trusting to the change which eight
years had made in my appearance, on my
arrival at B left my valise at the no.
tel and walked leisurely towards the resi-
dence of my uncle, intending to make my
debut incog.
1t was one of those mild, balmy evenings
in spring, when the light breeze which
scarcely fans the cheek, seems TO come up
from every valley and glen, laden with the
sweet perfume of each poisoning shrub
and wild flower. Attracted by the sound
of falling water in the valley to my right,
left the road and crossed the field in the di-
rection from whence the sound proceeded.
l had not gone far before | reached small
stream that wound its way through mar
row glen, shaded on both sides by forest
trees. As ] followed the course of the
stream, the noise of the falling water be-
came more distinct, and emerging from the
grove that had before concealed the land.

upon my view. A small and verdant val.
ley lay before me, while at the farther ex-
tremity, the whole body of the rivulet at
the height of thirty feet poured over pro.
jectng cliff. For about half its descent, il
fell in one unbroken sheet; then dashing in.
=, thousand little cascades, sought the
quiet stream below. Gazing, as if absorb,
ed by the beauty of the scene, stood a love
ly girl of some sixteen summers. HeI
small cottage bonnet had been removed
from.her head and lay at her feet, while
the dark chestnut ringlets, released from
their confinement, fell in rich clusters or
her neck and shoulders. One foot wa'
thrown forward, and her lips were slightly
parted, as if about to speak, but were
checked in their utterance as though fear
full of disturbing the repose of that beauti
full spot. At a short distance from her
stood man of about forty years of age
who, with stoical Indifference TO the scene

VAN buren, ON THE TARIFF.
"He mougM and he mought not"

The reply of Mr. Van Buren, to the In.
diana Convention, is about as clear, dis
tinct, and to the point, as the following tes-
timony of North Carolina witness:
The "Old North STAR" published at Eliz-
abeth City, gives the following ludicrous
scene, which occurred at late term of the
Superior Court at that place-Judge Pear
son presiding.
considerable amusement was produced
in Court, by witness in case of assault,
named Harrington. As the counsel could
get nothing out of him, the Judge under
took to question him.
Judge.-Were you present at the place
on the day this fight took place!
HI don't know-l mought and

Judge.-You don't know whether you
were there or not? recollect what happen

HI mought have been there some time
in the day. don't know to the best ofmy
knowledge.
Judge.-Did not the defendant tell you

Judge.-Where were you born and rails

Judge.--Can you tell the truth.

any information from such answers, let him

he "mought not" The fact is Van "don't

New York think he 'mought,' while citizen
Richie is clearly of the opinion that he

Just gathering over the scene. The calm
quiet which rested upon the spot, seemed to
shed its influence over us. We walked on
in silence till we stood at the foot Of the
cascade. The same bunch of wild flowers
that had noticed when l first visited the
spot, was still growing on the cliff.
"Come, cousin Charles, you must get me
those flowers before you go; you know you
promised me bouquet"
Eyes but didn't promise to break my
neck in getting them.
"But that is just such bunch as want
Il know you can get it'll do anything
for you if you will"
"Pray, what will that anything be, coz"
ooh I'll mend your gloves, or sing you
my best song--or--or-anything."
"Well, III get the flowers, but you must
pay my price"
"Do, do
The flowers were soon procured and
placed in her hand.
"Well, shall mend your gloves, or sing
you song?"
Neither"
"What shall do, them"
"Give me a cousinly kiss"
"a kiss! l can t do any such thing
"But you promised"
"No such thing; l said I would mend
your gloves or sing you song"

"But anything don't mean kiss, does
it,"
"Certainly, if ask it."

A slight blush spread over her features
and a tear stole down her cheek, as she
gently rested her head on my shoulder, and
pressed her lips to mine.
"Ha! ha! ha! that's what l call climbing
for kiss"
We sprang from our too cousnly posi-
ton, and turning round saw Uncle Jeffry
enjoying hearty laugh at our expense.
The rest, gentle reader we will leave to
your Imagination.

hemp in the United States, and although
would not prohibit it, | would give the
American decided advantage over the
foreign, even here in Boston. In Missouri
and Kentucky there was large quantity
of hemp water-rotted last season; and the
coming season, with more certainty of a
market, there would be enough to supply
the navy and the merchant service.
The Navy Department has no manufac-
tory of sail duck. 1t contracts for the
manufacture of duck, which is now made
altogether of flax. The time is not distant
when all the ship canvass used in America
will be manufactured Of hemp. and | trust
that your ingenious fellow-citizen, Mr..
Goulding. will be able to present satisfac-
tory specimen to the department before
long. | am told that the best Hollands
(duck) are manufactured of hemp, and no
one acquainted with hemp can doubt its fit
ness to be wrought into any species of lin
en- fabric, from the finest cambria to the
stoutest duck. the only desideratum is
machinery proper to reduce the staple Of
the hemp to the proper length and texture.
This is done in Holland and can and will be
done here. Mr.. bearing, of Louisville, as
well as Mr.. Goulding, is devoting himself
to the invention of machinery of this kind.
What field does the hemp region present
of ingenuity and enterprise!
have much to say on this subject which
must omit for want of room.

THE PRAYER ON BUNKER HILL.
BY MRS. L. II. sIeoURNI

BY MRS. L. H. sIeoURNEI.
During the battle OF Bunker's Hill 'venera,
bic clergyman knelt on the field, with hands up.
raised, and grey head uncovered, and while the
bullets whistled around him, prayed for the sue.
cess oil his compatriots, and the deliverance Of
his country.
1t was an hour Of fear and dread
High rose the battle cry,
And round, in heavy volumes, spread
The war-cloud 10 the sky.
Twas not, as when in rival strength
Contendng nations meet,
Or love Of conquest madly hurls
Amonarch from his seat.
Yet one was there, unused 10 tread
The path Of mortal strife,
Who but the Saviour's flock had fed
Beside the fount Of life.
He knelt him where the black smoke wreath d,
His head was bowed and bare,
While for an infant land he breathed
The agony Of prayer.
The column red with early morn,
May tower DER Bunker's height,
And proudly tell race unborn,
Their patriot fathers might;
But thou, old patriarch, old and gray.
The prophet Of the free,
Who knelt among the dead that day.
What fame shall raise to thee?
1t is not meet that brass or stone.
Which feel the touch OF time,
Should keep the record Of faith
That woke thy deeds sublime;
We trace il on a tablet fair,
Which CLOVIS when stars wsx pale,
A promise that the good mans prayer
Shall with his God prevail.
