PITCHER PLAsr.-A correspondent of the
Charleston News says:

PITCHER PLAsr.-A correspondent of the
Charleston News says:
Among the plants brought home by the ex
ploring Expedition, is a most beautiful speci-
men or the celebrated Pitcher Plant, now
grown to a considerable height. This plant
abounds in the stony and sterile parts Of the
Island Of Java, from which were it not for this
vegetable wonder, small birds and quadrupeds
would be forced to migrate in quest of water.
At the foot stalk Of each is a bag shaped exact
ly like pitcher furnished with lid, and hav-
ing kind of hinge that passes over the handle
of the pitcher, and connects ii with the leaf.
The hinge is a strong fibre, which cotracts in
showery weather and when the dew falls. Nu-
merous little goblets filled with fresh water are
thus held forth. But no sooner has the cloud
passed by, and the warm sun shone forth, than
the heated fibre begins to expand and closes
the goblet SO firmly as to prevent evaporation
precluding further supply till called for by
the wants Of another day. @

WIvEs.-Women should be acquainted that
no beauty has any charms but the inward one
Of the mind; that gracefulness in their man
ners is much more engaging than that of their
person; and that modesty and meakness are
the true and lasting ornaments; for she that has
these is qualified as she ought to be for the ed
ucation of children, for an affection for her
husband, and submitting to a prudent way Of
living. These only are the charms that render
wives amiable, and give them the best title to
our respect.

ENERGY-By Jupiter! see that fellow. Ev-
erything falls before him. No obstacles too
great for him tosurmount; no ocean too wide
for him to leap; no mountain too high for him
to scale He will make stir in the world and
no mistake. Such are the men who build our
railroads; dig up the mountains in California
and enrich the world. These is nothing gained
by idleness or sloth. This is a world Of action
and to make money, money, gain reputation,
exert a happy influence; you must not quail
at shadows, run from ions, or attempt to dodge
the lightning. Go forward zealously in what
you undertake, and we will risk you anywhere
and through life. Men who faint and quail,
are laughing-stocks to angels,s devils and true
men.

IVA CLERGYMAN Of Massachusetts. m

. rA Clergyman of Massachusetts,, more
than century since, addressed letter to the
legislature on some subject of interest which
was then discussed. The clerk read the lette,
in which was this remarkable sentence: Il ad.
dress You not as magistrates, but, as Indian
Devils" The wrath of the honorable body
was aroused; they passed a vote Of censure
and wrote to the reverend gentleman for an
explanation; from which it appeared that he
did not address them as magistrates, but q IL
1iriduals.

AMERICAN ENTERPRIsE.-A correspondent

1AMEhtIAN@7 LIN EN- asfoIs. II OOfFOSPO"uCH
of the Boston Courier has the following
We read in the papers an account of two ex-
peditions by small vessels to the Pacific, over
the Isthmus-one ffty-seven, the other eighty
eight tons. Yankee ingenuity requires but a
bint. Twill, therefore, now tell my 'enterprising
coun'rymen how the French fishermen on the
banks Of Newfoundland bring the large deeked
boats seen in those seas of France. The boats
are SO made as to be separated into four parts.
They are placed in the holds Of the large yes
sells, and these remain in port while the fishing
lis carried on by the boats, which are put to-
gether in Newfoundland Now, Yankees will
improve upon this practice and divide their
boats into more than four parts, and thus be
able TO carry over the Isthmus larger vessels.
