point to point of objects which he has

The fierce dragon-fy, with twelve thous-

angle with the rapidity of a flashing sword
and as rapidly darts back-not turning in
the air, but clash reversing the action of
his four wings-the only known creature
that possesses this faculty. His sight, then
both forwards and back wards, must be
proportionately rapid with his wings. and

objects. or he would dash himself TO pie

eyes does this consist? No one can an

ing SO close together that you can scarce
see the minuiest interval between them,
yet no one knocks another headlong upon

and deli cate as they are. Suddenly amidst
your admiration of this matchless dance,

to flap and waddle safely off. Habitually
stupid, heavy and indolent, they are. nev
ertheless, equal to any emergency. Why
does the lonely woodpecker. when he de-
scends his tree and goes to drink, stop
several times on his way, listen and look

Dow Jr., Greed.

Dow, Jr., the inimilable preacher of
Short Patent Sermons. gives US the arti-
cles Of his creed. and concludes with the
remark:
Poke over with the cane OF considera-
ton what have emptied before; and if
you can find single grain Of wheat among
the four pecks of chaff, shall be highly
gratifed.
The following are the grains OF the gem
uine article or we are no thrashnrs:
Il believe that the most industrious are
the most contented and happy. Ideness
is an incubus upon the bosom of enjoy
ment. 1t is the hardest work in the world
to do nothing by the month and have
nothing to do with it.
I believe that kicking against custom,
and splitting in the face of fashion is a fool
ish and futile endeavor. Both may need
correction-but they must and will have
their way.
believe that if the devil be the faith
er of lies, he has plaguy large family
TO look after, and is rapidly on the in
crease.
believe that girls are like kittens
gently smooth the right way, and they rub
and purr most affectionately; but give
them contrary brush and their back is up
IN most disdainful manner. They like
to be kissed but sham delicacy about the
operation.
believe that human flesh is hard to di-
gest. Jonah didn't sit easy in the whale:

instead of wasting your leisure in vague,
passionate talk about them. The tim e

on The rumors Of the day, might, if better
spent, give them good acquaintance with
the constitution; laws, history and interests
of their country, and thus establish them
on those great principles by which partic-

proportion as the people thus improve
themselves, they will cease to be the tools

Mr.. Calhoun was one of the most re-
markable men whom his country has pro-
duced. His intellect was singularly clear
analytical, consecutive in its operations,
and always seeking the light of first prin-
ciples. On this account, he was often re-
preached with an excessive fondness for
distractions; but it will be hard to point
out an instance in which his practical sa-
gacity or executive energy was ever at
fault. He possessed an uncommon degree
of mental independence. Devoted with
almost fanatical love, to the honor and in
terests of his native South Carolina, he
took counsel with no one rs 10 his meas
ures for her welfare; and in his most ex
treme suggestions, relied exclusively on
the resources of his own capacious and
robust intellect. His eloquence was free
from the faults that are often ascribed TO
the oratory of American statesmen. II
had no verbiage, no pretension. no glitter,
no clap-trap, IN It's composition With
such severe logical precision, such ab-
sence of supertiuous ornament, such force
and compression of language, such vehe-
mence and majesty of intellectual move
ment. it would hardly be extravagant TO
characterize i, as possessing something OF
the antique Demoslhenic andeur. The
friends of slavery have lost in him their
most powerful champion. Would that
his noble talents had been devoted 10 a
worthier cause! With Webster. Clay,
and Benton, Mr.. Calhoun formed one oi
that illustrious group of statesmen who foI
nearly forty years have been conspicuous
ly before the public eye, exerting prom
nent and commanding influence on the
course of American politics.

The Holy Father entities this Bull "Apostolic
Letter of our most Holy Lord, by Divine Provi-

Hierarchy in England is restored" II states that
the determined hostility to papa institutions would
not previously allow Of the presence of Bishops in
England but that The recent great increase Of Cath
olicism in England had made the present moment
propitous for the re-establishment of the ancient
form OF ecclesiastical discipline in England. The
English apostolic Wears are therefore now su-
perseded by the appointment of Bishops The re-
mainder OF this document is taken up with Catholic
forms and orders, and closes with the Holy Fathers
assurances to the new Preates that they will be no
losers in pectiniary point Of view by their adj
