Natural Wonders in America,

1t is very surprising, that two of the
greatest natural curiosities in the world
are within the United States, and vet
scarcely known to the best informed Of
our geographers and naturalists.
The one is a beautiful fall in Habcr-
sham, Franklin County, Georgia the
other a stupendous precipice in Pendle-
ton District, South Carolina ; they are
both family mentioned in the last edi-
ton of Dlorse's Geography but not as
they merit. The Tuccoa fall is much
higher than the falls of Niagara. The
column of water is propelled beautifully
over a perpendicular rock, and whcu
the stream is full it passes down without
being broken. All tho prismatic effect
seen at Niagara illuslratcs the spray at
Tuccoa. The Table mountain in Pen.
dleton District, South Carolina, is an
awful precipoe of nine hundred feet.
Many persons reside within five, seven,
or ten miles of this grand spectacle who
have never had curiosity or taste enough
to visit it, 1t is, however, occasionally
visited by curious travellers, and some
times by men of science.
Very few persons who have once east
q glimpse into the almost boundless a.
byss, can again exercise sufficient for.
titude to approah the margin of the
chasm. Almost every one, in looking
over, involuntary falls to the ground
senseless, nervsless and helpless, and
would inevitably be precipitated and
dashed to atoms, were it not for meas
uros Of caution and security that have
always been deemed indispensable to
the safe indulgence of the curiosity of
the visitor or spectator Every ohc, on
proceeding to the spot from whence it is
usual TO gaze over into the wonderful
deep has in his Imagination limitation
graduated by reference to distances
with which his eye has been familiar.
But IN moment. eternity, as il were, is
represented to his pstonished sense, and
he is instantly overwhelmed, His sys-
ten is no longer subject to his yolition
or reason, aud he falls like a mere mass
OF matter. He then reviyes, and in a
wild delirium surveys scene which, for
awhile, be is unable to define either by
description or imitation.

Ministers, Salaries.

We have received copy of a PAM
phlct, entitled, " A statemcat of Facts
from each Religious Denomination in
New England, respecting Minister'S
Salaries. Collected and arranged by
Charles Brooks, Chairman Of tho Com.
mitteo of investigation" The Com
mittee by whom these facts wero
gathered, have corresponded with at
least fifteen hundred clergymon, n,wboso
replies to the queries sent out are Civ.
en- in condensed form. For obvious
reasons the names Of individuals arc
not given, and no extreme cases aro
presented. The information is dcriv-
ed from ministerial associations of all
sccts, and from public mes in theolo-
slcal and collegiate institutions. The
Committee, after recapitulating the
facts collected. close their report with
the following statement:
Tho conclusions warranted bv the
foregoing statements seems to be tho
following.
l. The present low salaries paid to
the clergy of all denominations in New
England, not only subject ministers to
social suffering, and lessen their rc>
spoctability in the eyes of the world,
but moreover rob them of due mental
independence, and greatly abridge
their professional usefulness.
2. Precarious and incompetent sup
port prevent many woung men of tai.
ent and character from entering the
sacred profession.
3. The high Christian scholarship,
so imperiously demanded by the new
wants of the nineteenth century, will
not be likely to appear under existing
discouragements.
4. The inevitable consequence Of
the above facts is, that the Christian
church, m all its branches, must great
ly suffer, and its conflict with sin and
infdelity be more and more feeble.
5. The cffectual remedies for this
state of things are these-a thorough
reform Of public opinion on the sub
ject Of supporting the preachers Of the
gospel, and a new rally of of all tho
friends of the cross.

Say, beautiful one, of the golden fin,
Dost love in the crystal drops to swim
Encased in thy crystal palace home,
Dost love thy glassbound watory zone
Docs thy home seem happy, dear and free,
Or is it a gilded cage to thee
When wheeling in circles merrily round
You downward plunge, then upward bound
Say dost thou ever pause TO peep
At those who watch of thy motions keep?
Dost thou ever, poised on thy golden fin,
Count the crystal drops in which you swim ?
Art thou happy now as, when of old,
Thy native lakclet did thee hold,
Where the suns first rays its bosom kissed
And the whispering trees said "pcacc and
bliss"
As bending gracefully DER the wave,
They buried their boughs in watery grave 2
Or when pale Lunas love-lit gaze,
Shot ocr the scene with silycry rays
Didst thon part the wave with one wild leap
On far-famed Cynthia's face to pecpl
Or didst thou plunge far down to rest,
Till morning tipped the mountains crest
When warbling songstcrs their voices raised
In joyous notes of love and praise
Us sweetly they trilcd their morning chime
Didst thou to their music keep merry time
Didst leap to the surface to greet their call
And bid good morning " to one and all1
Say, little stranger in foreign land,
Canst thou my queries understand
If 50, wilt thou tell me, tiny one,
Art thou not loncly-all aloue-al alone
Dost thou moi pine for kindred near,
To share thy joy and soothc thy fcarl
Dost thou ever watch with longing eye
For one Of Thy mates with thee to try
The wonders Of thy present home;
Or AIT thou content to dwell alone
Dost love DER thy realm the chief 10 reign
With none to oppose thy sovereign clain2
