INTERESTING FACTS. In this region saccharne
matter of delicious flavor, appears on different de-
scriptions of treess and in different forms. On the
leaves of willows which grow upon the banks, it
is found in candied form, on the upper surface,
early in the month of July. The Indians gather
the sugar. and, at their encampment, enjoy the lux
ury of chewing the leaves. On the leaves of the
white oak, also, there is clear deposit Of honey,
which is transparent and fine as the article is
ever seen, but it is of thicker consistency. Here,
also, it collects the upper surface of the foliage
until the latter is borne down, when the sacharine
matter drops in masses or Jumps. Its flavor is ex-
eeedingly pleasant. On the ascent Of the Sierra
Nevada there is species of pine, much resembling
the white pine of the Atlantic States, except that
the leaves turn down. This tree grows to an en-
ormous height and size-27o feet in height and
80 feet in diameter at the base, and sometimes the
trunk runs up $50 feet almost without limb or
crook. The resinous matter which exudes from
the bark has rich saccharine flavor. The Indians
eat it in large quantities. California paper.

beautifully respendent by another Aurora Borealis
The whole Northern horizon was illuminated with
ever-changing pink and white lights until some time
after midnight. This is the fourth appearance in
heavens of the Aurora since October last. which is
altogether unprecedented for our Southern climes.

CHARACTER. The differences of character are
never more distinctly seen than in times when men
are surrounded by difficulties and misfortunes
There are some who, when disappointed by the
failure of undertaking from which they have ex-
pected great things, make up their minds at once
to exert themselves no longer against what they
call fate; others grow responding and hopeless
at such moments, and say to themselves, 6 the
more difficult it is to attain my ends, the more
honorable it will be :" and this is maxim which
every should impress upon himself as a law
Some of those who are guided by it, prosecute thei1
plans with obstinacy, and so perish others, who
more practical men, if they have failed in one
way, will try another. Niebuhr.

SOCIAL INTERCOURSE. We should make it a
principle to extend the hand of fellowship to every
man who discharges faithfully his duties, and main
tains good order-who manifests deep interest in
the welfare of general society-whose department
is upright and whose mind is intelligent, without
stopping to ascertain whether he swings hammer
or draws thread. There is nothing so distant
from all natural 81 aim as the reluctant the back
ward sympathy-the forced smie-the checked
conversation-the hesitating compliance, the we'll
off too apt to manifest to those little down,
with whom, in comparison of intellect and princi-
pies of virtue, they frequently sink into insignf-
canoe. 50 DANIEL WEBSTER

IA the London Agricultural Gazette, OF the
30th of September, lSiS, tina, the male
birds Of these fowls weighed from IL to 10
lbs. live weight, and the hens from 0 TO TO-
We think the representation little exiray-
agan,. Ten lbs for the male and from
seven to eight for the female, is probably
near the truth as to weight. The average
weigh, of the eggs of the Cochin China
fowl is about , OF. each They are smooth,
Of an oval, nearly equally rounded at each
end and usually Of rich bud colour. The
merits Of this breed are such, says Mr. AL
len in his Poultry Yard, that they have been
highly recommended to persons residing in
the connuy, from the fact that the hens are
capital layers. and from the large and rapid
growth of The chicks. The Cochin China
fowl is said to have been presented to Her
Majesty, Queen Victoria, of England, from
the Eas, !ndIas, and by her LITERALLY impaired
to such persons as were likely properly to
appreciate them. The cut we present this
week, is somewhat imperfect especially in
the legs and feet. bat, as first effort at en-
grazing on wood, is creditable To the young
