SOUTHERN LElrHER.--We have seen in the
Mobile Tribune. an Interesting sta,snsn, Of
Mr.. Charles NJ. Fosters msnufsetsry Of Leath-
err, shoes. &c, OF Tuscaloosa, Alabsma. IL
is stsied that Mr.. Foster has for several years
been making leather Of 90 superior quality,
that he has shipped a considerable quantity Of
it to New York, and sold il thefe for very sat
isfseiory profits. His stock Of hides, shoes and
leather Of ell kinds. generally amounts to a
bapt $4,000. This we'll directed labor has been
the source Of lucrative business TO Mr.. F., and
has resulted at the same time, in proving that
nothing is wanted bu, effort to ensbls the PEG
pie Of the South to exempt themselves from
the annual drains for leather shoes, saddles,
&c. No good reason can be given for trsns-
porting hides from the South to the North, TO
be ret urued in manufactured sriIeles burthen-
ed with two or three hundred per cent, 10 the
form Of expenses and profits, TO be 'aken from
the people Of the former section.

cul,ureer whea, in Mississippi

The best -four is now made in our own
State. In most Of the northern countries the
planters are becoming to depend entirely up
on wheat crops. the -four isfoand very sweet
and richer than the best 81. Louis brands. IL
is only necessary for our planters to make the
experiment to succeed. As a general rule,
the wheat 10 sown thicker here than at the
north, and il is thus supported and not liable
to fall by the weight Of the stalk. We are
assured that a few years trial acclins,es the
wheat, and that the stalk becomes strong E.

might soon see our fields filled with every va

THE FALLING STAR.
Knowye what it eaneth,
Whom looking up on high,
Ye see a star deserving
The regions of the sky?
Those orbs above us shedding
Their soften'd light around,
Are myriad bands of angels,
With wrcaths of glory crown'd.
All true and faithful wardsns,
Wide scatter'd through the sky,
On earth, whatever passes,
They mark with watchful eye
And when within our borders,
In fervent faith and love,
A good man how'd by sorrow,
Looks up for aid above:
And prays unto the father,
In agony of woe,
Then quickly there departeth
A messenger below;
Who glides with beam SO cheering,
Within the silent room,
And soothes the gentle sumber
The mourners heavy gloom.
This, this is what it meaneth,
When looking up on high,
Ye sec a star deserving
The region of the sky.

gentleman, not thousand miles from here al
ter long and assiduous courship, found him
self, one bright evening, the betrothed of
pretty girl, the very pink of modesty. One
night he was about to take his departure, and
after lingering about the door for some time,
in ,fdget of anxiety, declared and protested
to Miss Nancy, that he could not and would
not leave, until she kissed him. Of course,
Miss Nancy blushed beautifully red, and pro-
tested in turn that she could not and would
not do that, She never had done such thing
and never would until she was narried-and
now he had it. The alteration and debate
became deep and exciting, until the betroth-
ed hufTed outright, and declared if he couldn't
kiss her he couldn't have her-and was march
ing off. She watched him to the gate, and saw

was done.
"Come back, then" said she, coaxing "I'll

A Pile of Serpents,

In the Savannahs of Izacubo, in Guiana,
South America, l saw the most wonderful,
and most terrible spectacle that can be seen
and although it be not uncommon to the in
habitants, no traveller has ever mentioned
it. We were ten men oil horseback two OF
whom took the lead, in order to sound the
passage; whilst preferred to skirt tho great
vanguard, returned full gallop, and called to
me, "IIere sir, come and see serpents in pile"
He pointed out TO me something elevated IN the
middle of the savannah or swamp, whichsap-
peared like u bundle of arms. One OF my
company then said, 3" This 10 certainly one
OF the assemblages Of serpents, which heap
themselves on each other, after violent tenn
pest; have heard of these, but have never
seen any; let us proceed cautiously, and moi
20 too near" When we were within twenty
PAGES OF it, the terror of our horses prevented
our nearer approach, to which however, none
Of us were inclined.
On sudden, tho pyramidal mass became ag-
iiated, horrible Kissing issued from it, thou
sands of serpents rolled spirally on each other,
shot forth out of the circle their hdeous heads
presenting their envsnomed darts and fiery
eyes to US. own was the first one to draw
back; but when saw this formidable phalanx
remained at its post, and appeared to be more
disposed to defend itself than to attack u.s.
rode around il in order to view its order of
battle, which faced the enemy oil every side.
l then sought to find what could be the de-
sign of this numerous assemblage; and con-
cludod this species of serpent dreaded some
enemy which might be the great
serpent, or the cuyman, and they unite them
selves, after having seen this powerful enemy
in order to attack or resist him in a mass.
