We understand that this magnificent work
is about half completed, and will in al " :,
lLility be finished within the next two.r"rs
il is published in numbers, each of wi.Ic
contains five plates, at ten dollars per nul:
her. The Rev. John BaclIman of Charles

great work, and will devote his scientific
energies to the preparation of the letter

prised of three royal octave volumes. The
urnes, one of which has already been dcliv-
cred to subscribers. The subscription to
the work entire will be $500 90. We re-
gret to remark that neither our State nor
College Library, are graced with this truly
American work. We know Mr.. Audubon
intimately. and in common with all those
who arc acquainted with his circumstan-
ccs, regret that his genius is not generally
patronizcd by his %afluent countrymen.-
His life has been one of devotion to the la
5ors If the Naturalist, and long toilsone
forest marches have consumed the days Of
lis youth. Every portion of North Ameri-
ca has been explored by him. He has spent
long years in the savage wastes of the far
west-and has made his sleeping place,
from the black shores of Labrador, to the
bright Towering groves of the hot tropic.-
The sharp scream of the Lynx in its mid
sight tramp around his snow-wrcathed
lamp, the more savage yells of the panther,
and the yelping of the black wolf, lave re-
sounded in the ears of this dauntless old
man, AMI he has braved the terrors of many
avid foray, in order to lay a history af an
imal nature OR the tables of the civilized
world. He is now in the full vigor of ener-
getic old age, and we will ever remember
his reply to our greeting the last time we
saw him, seated as he was OH the sunny bank
of the Hudson with the Palisades quitting W
in full view on the opposite shore, and all
the gorgeous tints Of the early autumn re-
dieting NATURES own lustre Oh his glorious
and manly face. elbow do you do; are you

.dubon, 81 have not beensicki i'll thirty years.

This expression shows fully those great and
inGo,nitable features ofhis character, which
led to his success in overcoming the thous-
ands of obstacles which perplexed his ardu-
GUS pursuits. But, We fear his mental fire
will not be sustained cprporealIy much long
'pr in its present vignr, for we observe IN
the few pastycars a perceptible inroad from
father ! line IN his brow, and in common
with his numerous friends, hope that he will
at last abandon the forest, and leave the
dreams of his youth to be realized by the
achievements of his manly sons, who are
cast in the same mould-entllusiastic adj
mirers Of nature, her mysteries and beau
ti%es.-[South Carolinian.

HOW TO GROW C

In the first place, make up your mind to
accomplish whatever you undertake, de-
eide upon some particular employment,
and then persevere in it. san difficulties
are overcome by diligence and ~assiduity.''
Be not afraid to work with your hands,
and diligently too. "a cat in gloves never
catches any mice" s'fIe who remains in
the mill grinds, not he who goes & Comes"
Attend to your own business, and never
trust 1t TO another. "a pot that belongs
to many, is i'll stirred and worse boiled.'
be frugal. "That which will not made
a pot, will make a pot lid" s.Save the
pence and the pounds will take care of
themselves"
Be abstemious. "Who danties love,
shall beggars prove"
Rise early. "The sleeping 70 xcatches
no poultry" "Flow deep while slucgards
sleep, and you will have corn to sell and
keep"
Treat every one with respect and civil
.ty. "Every thing is gained and nothing
lost by courtesy" Good manners insure
Success"
Never anticipate wealth from any other
source than labor; especially never place
dependence upon becoming the possessor
OF all inheritance. Gle vino waits for dead
mems shoes, may have to 60 bare-footed al
long time" "He who runs after IA shadow,
has d weariSome race"
Aove all things never despair. "God is
where he was" "Heaven helps those
who help themselves"
Follow implicitly these prucepts, and no
thing can hinder you from accumulatingi
riches. ONE WHO KNOWS.

GET KNOWLEDGE. No matter bo

%triaing the knowledge you may obtain, still
put forth pxrrtinns. The more YOU acquire
the more you will. What if Elihu Burri,t
had stopped wien he acquired the Latin

been fitting s'l0es to horses, instead of put

DlGNITY.-Some men are dignifeC
very. But what is dignity? 1t is not tc
feel yourselfsaperior to a neighbor and sci
dora condesccnd to speak with him. 1t is
not to wear a sober face and think it be-
trays "a weak mind to laugh. True dignity
consists in treating all men with proper
respect in condescending TO nothing
mean or small-in receiving and returning
favors alike, no matter from whom r~ecciv-
Ell or to whom returned-the rich and ac-
complishcd, the poor and iliit"rate. We
love real dignity, wherever we find it. Cen
orally it is found whrc who least expect it.
and it is often banished from those whose
actions it oil sht to govern.
