ply Tor an Inccssant consumption provd {.
ed. And thus arc two circles ofuutri,ion
between plants and animals, IN each of
"lhch Inc plant Is the initiative agent and
power. The animal could not have ex-
traclcd from water either food or the ma
'eflal oi respiration, as necessary as food.
The other furnishes it with both ttrouoh
the same vital chemistry by which itmain-
Ialns Its own life and the material whence
1t draws and distributes these resources
OF the whole living world is the clement,
water that apparently simple, insighif,
cant substance, of which the ignorant and
the lhoughtlcss see little but that it falls
IN the rain, circulales in the rivers, and
fills the ocean.
"ll water is the residence of the multi
| tudInous. creation Of fishes, it is rather
their atmosphere than their abode, to them
II is what the air it to the birds Yet it
is superior in adaptation and convenience,
Tor It's inhabitants can rest in it without
labour /; the whole arrangement, indeed,
presenting one OF those beautiful adaD,a-
tons much more worthy of attention than
those scarcely avodable ones on which it
is the custom OF slender writers to dwell
Nor must the effect in question be called
a necessary result Of the superior gravity
OF water, since the weight of these animals
is not only nicely suited to this, but there
is united to the whole system of subada-
pta.lon to meet variations and exigencies,.
by the beautiful continuance of the air
bladder. The muscular power of fishes
is restrained, in point of endurance at least
IN consequence, apparently, OF their con-
fined respiration, though an anatomist Of
note has made this rule too exclusive; and
thus water, as the medium of dying, which
swimming may for this purpose be termed
relieves by its weight the muscular effects
of the animal. The bird is called on for
Il double exertion, the fish for only one.
"But the water is also the chemical at
mosphere of fishes, and thus does IA dis
tinct continuance become necessary. I'm
der analogy TO air, their gills should in
deed have decomposed it, and thus have
effected the ncedlul purposed. This how
ever, is not the process adopted, for what
ever reasons. The water is ordained to
combine with air, and thus furnish what
is required, while the consumption is for
ever replaced, probably by the agilatons
of the former in contract with the atmos-
phere. 1t is distinct chemical prop,rty
and but for experience would not have
been supposed. Like all else that was
needed it has been commanded, and it is'
done"

THE CiLLEY DUEL.

As we promised our correspondent that
we would state the facts in relation to this
affair, which las been revived for the par
pose of connecting OF Mr.. Clay unlavora
bly, with il, we proceed to do so.
Jonathan CiIley was' in 1888, Loco
loco members of the lower house of con-
gress from Maine. His brother is at the
present time an active and influential
wing; in New Hampshire. In the course
OF debate in the house, Mr. Ci,cv init
mated that Colonel Webb of the N. Y.
Courier and Enquirer, had received u
bride Of p32, 900 from the United States
Bank. Upon this Webb sent challenge
to Ciley by the hand of Mr.. Graves, who
though ever esteemed most amiahle man,
yet with his notions of that miserable
code Of false honor which he was educat-
ed to esteem as obligatory upon gentle
men, felt that he could not decline to &C,
as the friend of Webb: he therefore bore
the challenge. CiIley declined to re-
ceive it, on ground that Webb was no
Notwithstanding to the duelist's
code such reason is construed into an
insult to the person bearing the challenge
and the quarrel then becomes hs-and so
both Graves and Cilley understood the
matter. During the progress of the cor
respondence between them Mr.. Graves
became pretty well satisfied tina, if he gave
the challenge, Ciley would select as the
weapon, the deadly rifle, with which he
| Graves was totally unacquainted. In
this emergency, after the attempted ex
planatory correspondence had closed, and
of course all further negotiation had ceas-
ed and Mr.. Graves had written his chal-
enge, he called with Wise, upon Mr.
Clay; practice that individuals and COM
mnnilles, have always been IN the habl,
Of, when embarrassed SO says Col
johnson and John Quincy Adams, and
they say also, that he is ever found pru-
dent adviser. Mr.. Graves stated the case
to Mr.. Clay, and also intimated his fears
as TO the result in consequence Of his
want of skill with the rifle. Mr.. Clay
actualed both by the common feelings Of
humanity, and particular desire TO save
| HIS IlleHu MI bIa'cS, HUN cAPoshie W
hat appeared almost certain death, told
him and MIR. Wise, that the affair ought to
be amicably adjusted, and he believed ii
would be-bul he told him he should
alter the chalenge-that he should use
milder language, so that the door OF re-
cancellation might still be left open. Mr.
Clay penned substitute which he thought
would be less offensive, and this is wha
the Loeoloco editors mean by pushing or
the duel and rcriting the challenge. Wert
ever truth and justice more shameiully
perverted.
Benton and bynum were the advisers
of Mr.. Cilley, and his seconds, and they

20, let me weep! the storm is dark
That beats around my troubled soul,
ANA Ger my trail and guivcring bark
Despondcnry's deep waters roII
Leave me-! Tor Hopes sweet song hath died
In mourniiil cadence on my heart,
ana, down the deep and roaring tide,
With rVcn anchor depart!
Leave me! for OH can but pain
Thy heart, ifsIil il care for me;
Go mnglr with thu crowd again,
a"d gay and bright and Joyous be-
Aye, 90 around thy noble brow
The wreath oldeathlcss fame to bind
Alas! it little matters now,
The wild regret thou lcav'st behind.
Tcnrs'-gushing tears And dost rhou give
Those dear aud precious drops for me,
Come back how could ever live
Thus parted and cstrangrd from thee
ol,, come. Tor anguish, keen as death,
Is qmvcring III my hosom's core
Let me still live upon thy breath,
And part, oh, never, never more!
