TIE CHICK I'M THE EGG.

The hen has scarcely sat on the
egg twelve hours, when we begin tc
discover in it some lineament of the
head and body of the chicken. The
heart appears to beat at the end o.
the day; at the end Of AZ hours
two vesicles Of blood can be distin-
guished, the pulsalion ofwhlchisvery
visible.
At the 5Oth hour. an auricle of the
heart appears, and resembles a lace.
or moose folded down upon itself
At the end of 70 hours we distinguish
wings, and on the head, two bub-
bles for the brain; one for the bill,
and two others for the forepart and
hindpart of the head; the liver APP
pears towards the fifth day. At the
end of 13l hours, the first voluntary
motion is observed. At the end Of
1873 hours, the lungs and stomach
become visible-at the end of 142,
the intestines, the loins, and the up
perjaw. The seventh day, the brain
which was Shiny, begins to have
some consistence.
AT the Tooth hour Of incumbation,
the bill opens, and the flesh appears
in the breast. At the 194th, the ster-
mum is seen, that is to say, the breast
bone. At the cloth, the ribs come
ont Of the back, the bill is very Wis
ible, as well as the gall-bladder.-
The bill becomes green at the end
of 236 hours; and if the chick is ia
ken out Of It's covering, it evidently
moves itself. The feathers begin to
shoot ont towards the cloth hour,
and the skull becomes gristly. At
the 2SSth, the ribs are perfect. AT
the 33lst, the spleen draws near to
the stomach, and the lungs to the
chest. Attic end of 355 hours, the
bill frequently opens and shuts; and
at the end Of 45l hours, or the 18th
day, the first cry of the chick is al
ready hcald-it afterwards gets more
strength, and grows continually, till
at last it sets itself at liberty, by
opening the prison in which it was
shut up.

SAGACtTY OLA CAT. DcLaC

SAGAciTY OF A CAT. De La Croix
relates the following almost incred-
ible instance Of sagacity in a cat,
who, even under the receiver of an
air pump, discovered the means OF
escaping death, which appeared to
all persons inevitable.
once saw, said he, a lecturer up
on experimental philosophy, place a
cat under the glass receiver Of an air
pump, for the purpose Of demonstrate
Ing that very certain fact, that life
cannot be supported without air or
respiration. The lecturer had al
ready made several strokes with the
piston, in order to exhaust the receiv-
er Of its air, when the animal, who
began to feel herself uncomfortable
in the rari6ed atmosphere, was for
tunate enough to discover the source
whence her uneasiness proceeded.
She placed her paw upon the hole
through which the air escaped, and
thus prevented any moro from pass
ing out Of the receiver. All the ex-
ertions of the philosopher were now
unavailing; in vain he drew the
piston; the cat'spaw efectually pre-
vented its operation. Hoping to el-
feet his purpose, he let air again into
the receiver, which as soon as the
cat perceived, withdrew her paw
from the aperture; but whenever he
attempted to exhaust the receiver,
she applied her paw as before. All

In the irst place as to the climate
From the LIST of Nov. to the LIST of April
the climate may be called delightful, the
thermometer ranging from 40 to 80, and
being what would be called a! the North,
delightful September weather, being a
constant succession Of bright sunshinv
days with no rain, and occasionally a
good sharp frost; but the changes in the
weather more sudden and frequent than
any place at the North with which | am
acquainted, consequently the last place to
which consumptive persons should resort.
In summer the weather is like your dog
days from LIST May to lst October, and
whites can no! labor in the sun.
With respect 10 raising cattle e. hogs
if The frames of these animals covered
with muscle, hide and hair, can be called
cattle and hogs, then indeed can they be
raised here with ease, because they run
and live - out as for beef there is none
that would sell in your market for any
thing but dog feed, nor is the pork as
good even as the beef. Every ounce of
tat in the Territory comes from the North.
The hog meat, as they call it here, has no
fat on tit is very good for fresh steaks,
and that is al !, and this can not be beuered
because the grass is killed in the winter
by the Frost and in he summer by the
heat - ana no green crops are raised ex-
cept as a great delicacy and as Northern.
ers raise tender exoics. Beef thai thew
sell in our markets weighs from % to 50
or GU lbs. to the quarter, and the poorest
hog ever saw at the North in GOOD
health is as fat as the latest | ever saw
here - the weight of fat HOG here is
from 80 to 100 Ibs
AS TO the agricultural productions Gen.
orally, cotton is the principal crop-but at
present low prices will not pay. Corn
comes next, and is crop of much i'm
portance to the planters, forming no in.
considerable part of the food of the peo.
pie, both white and black. The usual
crop is o bushels 10 the acre--some get
Is, but it is seldom that over Is bushels
are achieved. Sweet potatoes do well, the
crop being from 100 to 300 bushels per
acre The quality Of the sweet potato
raised here is not as good as those raised
in Virginia.
Oranges can not be raised with GER.
tainty OF security from the frost in the
present settled portions of the Territory,
and an insect is making deadly ravages
amongst the trees now growing in this
section OF the country. The frost has
killed all the trees in this section of the
country twice since 1884 - before that
time oranges were an important article

The Orphan.-Don't speak harsh
ly to him. He has no father to di-
rect his steps--no mother to watch
over him. Temptation was spread
before him, and he yielded. But not
severe-perhaps one kind word may
save him from ruin. Do not drive
him to more gross acts Of sin, but
manifest by your voice and your tears
that you are his real friend. Had
he been blessed with wother's care,
he would not have stepped aside
from the path of rectitude. Now he
feels that no one cares for him; no
one pities him; no one loves him.
Go to him and be his friend, his guide,
his counsellor, and you will save
him from the depths of degradation.
There is nothing SO eflectual as sym
patty, to allay the bad passions and
incline the heart to virtue. How
sweet is the rehection-Ihave drawn
a soul from vice, and placed him in
the path of virtue, and now he is
bearing the fruits of usefulness on
earth--exertinga good influence, and
rlpening for better WORLDLY. Y.

MARRIAGE. -" Marriage" says
Jeremy Taylor, "is the mother of
the world, and preserves kingdoms,
and fills cities and churches. &C.
libacy, like the fly in the heart of an
apple, dwellsin perpetual sweetness,
but sits alone and is confined, and
dies in singularity; but marriage,
like the useful bee, builds a house,
and gathers sweetness from every
flower, and labors and unites into So
cieties and republics, and sends out
colonies, and fills the world with del
icacies, and obeys their king, keeps
order, and exercises many virtues,
and promotes the interests of man
kind ; and is that state of things for
which God hath designed the present
constitution Of the world. Marriage
hath in it the labors Of love and the
dellcacies Of friendship, the blessings
of society, and the union of hands
and hearts. Ithath in less Of beauty,
but more of safety, than single life /;
it is more merry and more sad, it is
fuller of joys and fuller of sorrows ::
1t lies under more burdens, but is sup
ported by all the strength of love and
charity; and these burdens are de-
lighlful."

A SPANISH BANDIT. Don Martin
aged 80, and one Of the most fero-
cious. assassins that hadeverinfested
Spain, was executed at Madrid on
the 10th Of February last, He was
the chief Of band Of brigands that
has been for many years the terror
of the Province of Toledo. He was
convicted Of thirty murders, and is
supposed tohave committed as many
more; as he is known to have assas-
sinated fourteen persons on one single
day, merely for the purpose of plum
der. AS an example of the atfocity
of this monster, it is stated that his
band having taken a citizen of Tole-
do prisoner, Martin obliged him to
write letter to his wife demanding
$4,000 as his ransom, in the mean
time combining him to his cavern,
without food for forty-eieht hours
On the third day, an answer came
from his wife, with $50, all she had
Deen able TO raise tor her husbands
lelease. Martin had the captive
brought out, tortured him by apply
ing red hot iron to his flesh, and then
buried him up tohis neckln the earth,
leaving only his head exposed to the
burning sun. Not content with this.
he made him suffer the tornents of
Tantalus! Whenever the poor vic
tim, dying for thirst, would call for
drink, glass of cold water was
placed near his lips, and then with
drawn. His teeth were then drag
ged out with rough pincers: in the
course Of this fresh torture, the poor
Toledian expired.
Martin exhibited his savage dis
position to the last. He was taken
on foot from the prison TO the place
OF execution, venting curses the
whole way on those he called his
enemies, but totally regardless of the
exhortations Of the priest who ac-
companied him.

NOBLE CONDUCT OF TWO Sc lMEN.


The generous character Of sailor is pro-
verbal, but seldom has il flllen to our happy
| lot TO record an act more truly noble than
The following, which took place short time
! ago in this city. ..
| A Poor widow Woman who occupied two
rooms in The lower part of commercial street,
since the death ofher husband, few months
since, has been compelled to earn living
for herself and laaly of young children, by
| taking in washing; and, with ll.her indus
! try and economy, her quarterly rent became
due before she could scrape together suffi-
the landlord was one old sold Crumbs"
feeling. His sole business was 10 collect
be TO distress the virtuous. She begged Of
him to grant her time. He gave her two
days; she asked for more, and he refused,
y o'clock on the following day, every stick
of her furniture should be put out of doors.
The time arrived, when, agreeaby to
promise, his lackies were sent down, and the
threat was begun 10 be put Into execution
The poor woman prayed the unfeeing land
lord 10 desist from his purpose, but her pray
ers were in vain. Al length, giving up en-
tirely TO despair ana wounded pride. she
seated herself upon her forlorn bed, with her
children crying around her At this mo
ment two jolly American tars happened by,
and espyng the work going on, the door
open, the wretched woman and children
weeping, Immediately stopped their course,
and began TO reconnoire.

haul the craft !"
SAY, ay, Jack" replied the other, 'the
young woman by the bed has hoisled signals
of distress. Let's give her long hail"
The tars spoke TO the woman, and soon
learned the whole story.
"Well, now, shipmate, ifthat land pirate
hadn't ought to be lathered with hot lar and
scraped with a rusty hoop, and then keel
hauled, for laying his graphing irons or her
few loose spars that are scattered about this
wreck. Never mnd, y good woman, keep
your spirits up, and we'll set you in the right
course, with plenty ofballast and provisions.
say, you land lubbers, just Delay there up
on them things, We'll be responsible for
damage"
GLOW much do you owe this land pirate?"
The woman told him the amount, when
Jack took from his wallet the sum in hard
currency, paid the bill, and made the woman
present of handful Of silver, while his
shipmate in the meantime, went TO butch
er's shop near by, and brought back a large
joint Of meat, for the dinner Of herself and
children. They left, after receiving the wo
mans blessings and wishes for their pros
perity, and went whsling through the
streets as tho nothing had happened.-

the spectators clapped their hands in
admiration of the wonderful sagaci-

found himself under the necessity of

penetration, and enable him to ex-
hibit the cruel experiment.

"the presence" vehemently remon-
strating at such a trick being played
upon him. He discovered, howev-

soning with an empty pocket-the
gentleman quietly stuck to the ex-
press terms of his bargain-and the
worthy host at length decided, in
stead Of sending fol a police officer,
to laugh himself out of the difficulty,

who, he could now easily perceive,
was "a man about town." and one
who lived on his wits. Well"

very suggestion; he had his hand
upon his heart, and, shaking his head
in conscious dignity, he exclaimed
" Pardon me, Sir-honor, Sir-hon-

such a subject. 1t was only yester-
day that Mr.. Westwood, after had
patronized him in a similar way,
gave me five shillings to come and
