IAN old aud respectable man of the
county Of Montgomery, used frequently &c
relate an anecduie Of circumstance which
he saw. Ia his youth lie resided on The
banks Of the Hudson river. One day he
went to = bay on the river in order TO shoot
ducks or wild geese. When be came to
the river he saw six geese be, ond shot.
He determined to wait for them TO approach
ths shore. While sitting there be saw a
fox come 10 the shore and stand some time
and observe the geese. Al length be turn,
ed and went into the woods, and came on,
with very large bunch Of moss in his
mouth. He then entered The water very
silently, sank himself, and then keeping
the moss above wafer, himself concealed.

one Of them was drawn under the water,
and the fox soon appeared on the shore
with The goose on his back. lie assembled
the bsnk and found hole, made by the
tearing up Of tree. This hole he cleared,
placed 10 ibe goose, and covered it with
great care, sirewing leaves over il. The
fox then left; and while he was gone. the
hunter unboried the goose, closed the hole,
and resolved to wait the issue.
''fn about bali an hour the fox returned
with another in company. They went d.
rectly to the place where Tho goose had
been buried aud threw on the earth. The
goose coa!d not be found. They stood re-
garding each other for some time, when
suddenly the second fox attacked the other
most furiously, ns if offended by the trick

i'HE SLEEP OF PLANTs.-The way in
which plants sleep is shown. in the veqe-
be kingdom is infinitely more variable
ban among other animals. Man throws
msefpros'raie; some kinds OF monkeys
Iie on their sides; The camel places its
head between the forelegs; and birds
oos' their heads beneath their wing
Beyond these are few remarkable differ
noes. But in plants there is no end 10
he curious and beautiful diversity which
rewards The seeker ofNature's mysteries.
Some plants droop their leaves at night,
the fat becoming faccd and pendulous.
Oilers Of the kind called "compound,"
as clover aud vetches, close their leaflets
together in pairs, and occasionally the
whole leaf droops at The same time. The
ehree Leaflets Of clover bring their faces
to the outside, and so form a triangular
pyramid, whose apex is the point ot
nnion between the leaflets and their
stalks Lupones, which have leaves res
embIing seventy fingered hand without
palm, Iod them thgether like ladys
ralfclosed parasol. Chickweed raises
lls leaves 80 as 10 embrace the stem; aud
some spc cies Of lotus besides many Of its
elegant family, the Leguminoe, bring
them together in such way as TO project
he young flower buds and immature seed
vessels from the chill air of night
These are only a few oul Of the many
cases which would be ins,anced orchaDge
ofposi,on in leaves whilst III flowers there
seems 10 e no limit TO variation. The
grealer part shut the petals al night, the
stalks declining on one sile; but there are
some which wear their petals back and
curl them up like miniature voluies,--
The sleep Of such plants is probably
unaccompaned by any external change.
The same way may be said of campan-
illus and other bell shaped flowers Of
Crocilelg, which il should have been
observed, are remarkably careless of
rcpose. Their sleep never appears sound
or even constant, for many successive
nights; they seem restless IN the morning
always look dozy and uncomfortable
Wien flowers are overblown, or the plan,
if an annual is near lis decay, the phe-
nomena ofsleep are very considerably
diminish ed. In fact, they are only seen
in perfection when the growing powers
Of he plan, are in their full energy
Deciduous trees-that is, such as cast
the.r leaves in autumn are in sort of
trance in the winter months. Flowers,
too lose their sensibiity altogether when
the period of fertilization is passed, as
may readily be seen by inspecting field
Of daisies early in the morning before the
dew is off the grass. The overbIown will
be found wide open; those in the younger
stages all "crmson lipped' and sound
asleep.

GRATuIroUs JUDICIAL OPINION
Judge Nelson OF the U. S. Supreme
C"ur, has been ant cipaIing his duty by
giving an opinion that the Fugitive
Slave Law is constitutional, before he
was called upon 10 investigate or decide
that question. The N. Y. Eve. Post
closes an article disseciing that opinion
with this remark:
"Thc Judge who violates this rule, the
obligation of which is universally rccogn;-
zed, is guilty of something more than
rashness and reconsideration. Judge
Nelson assumes TO decide the question
Of the cons,i,utionality Of the fugitive
slave law recently passed, before it comes
in bis court 10 the course Of business,
before he heard it argued, and, most evi.
den,lv, before he has any idea of the diff
cul,ies which environ the subject. IIc
takes pains to unfit himself TO examine
the question imparlially hereafter, and
pledge himself 20 one side before he
knows what the other side is. 1t is no
wonder, therefore, tha, his charge should
be what we find 1.-THE production Of

THE. CRUCIFIxIoN.
BY REV. GEORGE cRoLEY.

City OF God jerusalem,
Why rushes out thy living stream!
The turbaned priest, the hoary seer,
The Roman AID his pride, are there!
And thousands, tens Of thousands, still
Cluster round Calvary's wild hill.
Still onward rolls the living tide:
There rush the bridegroom and the bride;
Prince, beggar, soldier, Pharisee,
The old, the young, the bond the free;
The nations furious multitude.
All mad'ning with the cry Of blood.
Sill pours a'ong the multitude,
Still rcnds thn hcav ms the shout Of blood
Bu. in the murderer's furious van,
Who totters on! A weary mar;
A cross upon his shoulder bound
ii's brow, his franc, one gushing wound.
VT. who the third? The yell of shame
Is frenZed on the Sufferers name;
Hands clenchcd. teeth gnoshlng vestures torn
The curse, the taunt, the laugh OF scorn,
All that the dying hour can sting,
Around thee, now, thou thorn-cruwned King
Yet cursed and tortured. taunted. spurned,
No wrath is for the wrath returned,
No vengeance Alshes from the eye;
The Sufferer calmly waits to die;
The sceptre reed. the ,horny crown,
Wake Oh that pallid brow no frown.
At last the word OF denth is given,
The form is bound, the nail is driven;
Now triumph Scribe and Pharisee,
Now, Roman, bend the mocking knee;
The cross is reared. The deed is done,
There stands Messiah's earthly throne!
Sill from his lip no curse hath come,
His lofty e, e has looked no doom;
No earthquake burst, no angel brand
Crushes the black, blasph sming hand;
What say those lips by anguish riven,
''God, be my murdeyers Iorgrvcn!"
