The Birth Of Spring.

The calm Sunshine of the first pleasant
spring day comes with soothing inllu-
ence over the heart. Who hears the first
song Of birds, and looks on the fresh bud
ding promises OF the young season with
out delight? The stern reign of winter
over; her storms hushed to rest; we
look abroad and behold his icy chains
broken link after link, until nature, re-
leased from ihraldom, comes forth smi-
ling in her green robes in search Of early
flowers, inspiring us with pleasure, and
bidding the bosom expand with gratitude
to him who rules the spheres, and rolls
the seasons round. But while musing
on her opening charms, memory will Of
ten come whispering moral lesson TO
the ear; she leads us back TO the spring
of other years, to the glad seasons of
youth, when hope spanned the future
with her rainbow colorings, and pleasures
mingled with every dream Of life. The
flowers are Notwithstanding for US
bat not for all who gazed delighted on
their unfolding beauties in other springs
graves, above which now The first spring
season is smiling, may be seen in every
church-yard. Whose are they? The
graves Of those who were as gay, as full
of life and hope and happiness as we, a
year ago.
But it seems to US these changing sea-
sons teach TO mcdlative man more than
the brief lesson that he too must change.
They speak lesson Of virtue. How
kind, how benevolent is the bounteous
governor Of the universe. How beauli-
fully he adorns this temporary residence
of his creatures. How exactly all the
changes of the year are adapted TO The
promotion Of our we'll being and happi-
ness. How much benevolence is mani
fest in all the dealings of Providence.
And if il be wise to aim al the greaost
perfection Of character what an exam
pie il affords us for doing so. How kind
should we be to one another. How should
we strive to administer happiness to those
around us. How careful not 10 cause
pain in any. There is constantly open
around US, wide field for the exercise of
every philanthropic feeling. We arc puy-
posely placed in circumstances which ai-
ford us constant opportunities of proving
ourselves by our works.

Female Enterprise mud Failure.

The story Of female trader who sci
out many years ago from Philadelphia,
and acquired a fortune by her industry
and tact in the South, is told in the Times
Of that city. The Times says:
The failure of Miss, Of Mlssissip-
pi, falls heavily on the merchants here,
to whom she owes 100000. Several
houses are in for $4,000 TO $4,000.
The commercial enterprise and career of
this woman have been most extraordina-
ry. Her credit was undoubled for years.
She has made her regular visits TO this
market, and taken off large amounts Of
every description Of merchandise, and al
ways paid up puneuaIly. She was cstl-
mated to be very rich. She is a woman
Of masculine proportions. and when she
used to attend the auction sales 10 make
her purchases, would crack and enjoy hsI

of an ointment composed Of soap and al

Sir David Brewster, in a letter address
ed TO Sir Walter Scott. says that the
workmen in the Kings Dock Yard. al
Chatham, plunge their hands into boiling
tar with as much apparent case as we
would in cold water; this singular effect
is ascribed by him to the slowness with
which tar communicates lis heat, which
he conceives to arise from the abundant
volatile vapor which is evolved, carrying
off rapidly the caoric in latent state,
and intervening between the tar and the
skin, so as 10 prevent the more rapid COM
munication Of heat;' he also conceives
when the hand is Withdrawn and the hot
tar adhcring to it, the rapdity with which
this vapor is Discouraged from the surface

being wet, if Instantly Withdrawn and
plunged into wafer.
An experiment TO ascertain the degree
Of heat man could bear with his skin
prepared, was made at Paris, in the pre-
sence OF large number of scientific men ;
the experiment was upon Spaniard,
about forty-Gve years of age. A cylin-
drical oven, constructed in the shape OF a
dome, had been heated some time by a
powerful fire. At The designated hour he
went into the oven, completely enveloped
in thick clothing, and remained there
fourteen minutes exposed to heat of from
lorty-Gve TO fifty degrees of a metallic
thermometer, the graduation of which did
NOT go higher than fifty. He sang song,
while fowl was roasting by his side.
At his coming on! of the oven, the ply
scians found that his pulse beat one hun

instant expected TO feel the spear Of the
pursuer. Again he turned his head, and
saw the savage not more than twenty
yards from him.
Determined, if possible. TO avoid the
expected blow, he suddenly stopped,
turned round, and spread out his arms.
The Indian, surprised by the suddenness
of the action, and perhaps by the bloody
appearance of Golfer, also attempted TO
s!op-but, exhausted with running, he fell
while attempting to throw his spear,
which struck in the ground and broke.
Golfer Instantly snatched up the point,
with which he pinned him 10 the earth,
and then continued his flight. The fore.
most of Indians, arriving at the place,
stopped ill all the others came up 10 join
them, when they set up hideous yell.
Every momen, Of this tine was improved
by Golfer, who, although fainling and ex-
hausted, succeeded in gaining the skirt
ing of cotton tree wood on the borders Of
the Fork, through which he ran, and
plunged into the river.
Fortunately for him, little below this
place was an island, against the upper
part of which a raft OF drift timber had
lodged. lie dived under the raft, and az
ter several efforts got his head above water
among the trunks of trees covered over
with smaller wood to the depth Of seve-
raj feet. Scarcely had he secured him
self, when the Indians arrived on the river
screaching and yelling like SO many
Gends.
They were frequently on the raft dur
ing the day, and were seen through the
chinks by Golfer, who was congratulating
himself on his escape, until the idea arose
that they might set the raft on fire. In
horrible suspense he remained until night,
when, hearing no more of the Indians, he
Owed under the raft and swan silently
down the river. to considerable distance,
where he landed. After seven days tedi-
Gus journeying. he arrived at Lisa's Fort,
on the Yellow Stone.

Novel Combat.

We have heard of and chronicled mis-
celaneous kinds of combats-duellos hu-
man, geological, piscatorial, entomology
cal, and categorical, but perhaps the fol-
lowing may afford pleasing variety. An
expedition, provided with two dresses
was fitted out for the purpose of raising a
sunken wreck /; having arrived at the
place Of destination, man was despatch
ed at the court of Neptune 10 see how the
land lay. on the return he said that ii was
necessary to have assistance TO work 70
advantage; accordingly the other dress
was manned and both sent down. The
cable having been arranged, they looked
about, and a, the same moment both spied
a prize, which each was anxious 10 carry
