swciled out its vast proportions, and then
vast masses fell of and rolled forward !;
then it swelled again ns fresh matter came
pressing down behind, and so it broke, and
on it rolled again and again till it mad ar:
rived at the very edge. There was a gen.
eral buzz and murmur of voices. The
royal family stood opposite to me, inter-
mingled with the crowd, looking On with
intense anxiety. At last it broke, not
hurriedly, still with a certain show of ma
jesty:
"At first 4 few small Jumps fell down !;
then poured over pure liquid of metal,
ike thick treacle, clinging sometimes mass
to mass, from its glutinous character, and
last of all tumb!ed over gigantic Jumps of
scorie. Then on it moved once more in
its silent, regular course, swelling up and
spreading over the vineyards on either
side. The expectation is that the lava,
should the eruption continue, will flow
down to the Ponte Maddaloni, aud into
the sea. So grand and SO destructive an
eruption has not been known for many
years, and even now we can not tell how
or when it will terminate. Tho noun
tain is literally scanned with lava, and
many fear a violent explosion as the final
scene Ct the tragedy"

Natural History of the Locust.


The following information concerning
the habits of the seventeen years locust,
given by a writer in the Boston Advertiser,
will be found interesting at the present
time. In calling attention to it, we would
suggest to students of natural history the
propriety Of making accurate observations
Of these curious insects, during their pres
ent appearance
The locust's favcrite resort is that of a
copse of young and rather thin oak wood,
where the soil is rather soft and Light
They are first discovered in the ground
near the surface, in the form of large
grub or worm, and a quarter Of an inch in
diameter Where or in what mode they
pass through the chrysaiis state, and become
fully invested with wings and other men,
bers, do not know but they are soon
found in vast numbers, and in full cho-
rus of sonorous voices, among the branches
of the small trees. They have distinct
ly marked " found on the back In this
stage Of their lives they do not seem to
feed. Or opening one, the body appears
to be mere hollow shell, without any
feeding or digesting organs. They con-
tinue III this state, | believe, about six
weeks or two months,
Shorty before their disappearance, ma
ny Of the small twigs of the young oaks
appear to be giriled and partially cut of,
and hang Suspended from the extremity of
the branches. The leaves turn red as
when touched by frost in Autumn. On
examination these twigs appear to be saw
ed about two-thirds off and girdled, so
that the circulation Of sap being cut of,
it soon dies, and probably falls to the
ground during the ensuing winter by the
action Of wind, rain and snow.
Tie general belief is, that by curious
and remarkable instinct, the insect is led
to deposit its eggs in some secure mode
rpon these small twigs, and then thus par
TALLY to sever them from the parent stock,
go that by their fall the eggs shall be borne
gently and safely to the ground, into whose
bosom they are in some form received and
cherished, to reapperr in the form Of full
grown locusts, after the lapse of seventeen
years. l am not aware that this fact of
the deposit of eggs upon the falling twig
has been verified by actual observation, it
is one of the points which require careful
examination.

Singular Enterprise,

A company of Norwcgians are engaged
at San Francisco in collecting cast-oti
boots and shoes. The manner Of conduct
ing the business is as follows Agents
are employed to take into custody all dis
carded subjects of the genus boot, The
physical condition Of the article is COM
paratively of little consequence neither
is it considered important TO take into
account its relations of fellowship, and the
sole receives no consideration, whatever
may be the state of its hopelessness.
The next operation consists in cutting
the thread of the boots existence, which
being accomplished, and little greasing,
the valuable remains are made into pack
ages to be shipped to Europe. 1t is sta
ted that the value CT boot-legs gathered
and prepared by this establishment during
the period of six months, amounts to up
wards of $4,000. In many parts of Eu-
rope, old boot-legs may be readily sold at
htty cents per pair.
How true it is that one-half the world
does not know how the other half lives.

ran several miles, but about the 18th mile

the lesson would have been good one to

New Orleans Morals,

"The resident citizens of New Orleans
are more and more disguised with the pro-
fanation of the Sabbath, by nonresident
actors, showmen, concert singers, and the
whole tribe of travelling artists, who, on
entering our city, convert the day of rest
into day Of dissipation and gain. They
bring discredit rpcn US by opening these
temptations to the thousands of strangers,
who like themselves, have little regard for
the Sabbath, except were law forbids their
converting its hours to the purposes OF
their profession.
Be it known to all these, that while w
Of New 0rlean, are willing 70 see AID g.
admire their varied talents and ACQUIRE
ments on the ordinary working days Of
the week, that we are determined to shut
up all places of public amusement on the
Sabbath, and let them govern themselves
accordingly. Our exchanges will do the
residents of New Orleans good service by
giving publicity to this determination. We
much mistake the character of the present
Council if such movement be not seen
before the ides of January next"
We copy the above from the New Or
leans Creole, with this remark: New Or
leans, in making the Sabbath day of
amusement, is only true to its former for
eigu and popish character, and that the
growing regard for the sanctity of the
Lords day, marks the progress Of Ameri-
can Prctestantism In short, this Sabbath
keeping disposition is a part and parcel of
that q fanaticism" against which the Gun
.r-,fal' 50 gloriously battled in Virginia,

kep Boston, as compared with Paris ?
II " is it kept in Edinburg, as compared

Nothing Yankees or IS it the rationalistic

ERUPTION Of Mount Vesuvius.

The last European steamer brings us
fuller accounts of the eruption of Mount
Nesuvius. A Naples correspondent, under
date of May 10th, writes
"The lava has now advanced ten miles
from its source, and is doing terrible
damage. Last night went to the scene
cf rlost stirring interest after an interval
Of two days How changed the neishbor-
hood in two days. Where l walked on
Sunday night was now sea Of fire. The
side road by which l had come down into
the main stream from Pollena and Iassa
di Somme was now full of blackcned coke
The houses on the borders of the village
had fallen in--in one thirty poor people
lived small chapel vas Swallowed up,
a gentleman villa, and sad extent of
vineyard AMI garden ground On the 9th
er side of the great lava bed another stream
was branching off to San Sebastiano. We
had hoped to have crossed it, and ascend.
ed the cascade again, but it was no longer
possible for as one says, speaking of a
marshy country in the winter, the lava
was out the fire here had begun to enter
the burial ground of the little town, bu.
was diverted from its course by well.
"On the opposite side Of the stream
we're the King and all the royal family.
The banks on either side were thronged
with curious and anxious multitudes, whose
faces we're lighted up with the blaze of
hundreds of torches, and with the more
resrlendcnt fame Of the rapidly descend
ing lava. Since the morning it had moved
a mile. Itwas like vast river of glow
ing coke. As it moved on The tens Of
thousands Of lamps rolled and tumbled
one over the other, cracking and grind
ing, and grating and when from the very
face u it a large lump fell OF, the appea-
rance was that of an iron furnace when
the iron is being drawn. To make the
resemblance more complete, at such times
men darted forward with long poles, taken
from the neighboring vineyards, and
pulled out great masses Of lava, in which
they embedded money for sale.
"There was spot beneath my feet,
where fall of mason work had been built
to break the violence Of the winter foods;
to this spot all eyes were directed. The
fiery river would fall over it in an hour;
as yet it was distant from it seventy yards
perhaps. Gradually it rose in heig and

Country Papers.

We have been for many years in the
habit of reading several newspapers print
ed in rural towns in different States-a
habit which we would commend to all de-
sirous Of keeping up general and com-
prehensire view OF society q. large and its
inhueIces. 1t IS mistake to imagine
tha. al :he talent extent is monopolized
by our cities, and a s.ill greater errcr 20
suppose lat the latter with their selfish,
t.G"gh grert energies, aud with their ac
mixture of foreign population and educa-
ton can show the stranger what the heart
Of the American people really is. Those
who are CAPABLE of making the necessary
allowances, of 'J-getting the drawbacks TO
which many country editor is liable, and
of which many city editor never dreamed,
will End in onr American pre:s rs COM
pared with that Of other countries, q de-
gree of originality and common sense
which holds out the fairest hope for years
to come; and tha. ne hive little reason to
fear that the spring Of c-i g;nality which
gives life to Cur national character viii
ever be dried up. The straightforward
earnestness with which the American
country press discusses important political
or other questions, and the shrewd1ess
which it displays in bringing them direct
ly home to its readers, form subject Of
invariable commentator to those intelli-
gent Europeans who have had opportuni-
ties for observation. Last and perhaps
least, though not less attractive to many,
the American country press can eollec'
lively lay claim to More dry humor than
any one who has not examined tue sub

This makes an aggregate Of Sl9O,7lS,-
22l of State bonds outstanding June S0th
1853, of which, s72 ,93l ,507 were then
held by foreigners. Kentucky is marked
as having made no return, but the Cashier
Of the Bank of America, in reply to o
letter of inquiry, states the amount of
bonds of that State held by Foreigners tc
be 81 200, 300
In regard to other States, from which
no returns were obtained, Winslow, Lanier
g. Co., of New York, state, in reply to a
letter of inquiry, that
at will be difficult for us 10 say where
the State securities are held, whether in
Europe or this country, yet we can near it
sufficiently so, perhaps, for your purposes:
lst. As to the debt of Georgia, fully
three.fourths of it is held in Europe. ID.
Tennessee, over one half in Europe. Sd.
Michigan, more than two-thirds held in
Europe, chiefly in Holland. 9Th North
Carolina, mostly held in Europe, or at
least over one-half. 5th. Alabama, more
than.two-thirds held abroad. 9th. Ken
lucky, about one-half held abroad. 7th.
Mississippi, all held abroad, mostly
in Holland. Sth. Illinois: three four.
tbs held abroad 9th. Ohio, two
thirds held abroad. 10th. Indiana; fully
three-fourths held abroad. 1lth. Califor-
MIA, mostly held in this country"
These statements Justify the conclusion
that the total amount Of State bonds held
by foreigners is net less than ONE HUN
DRED AND ELEVEN MILLIONS, without
counting the Territorial bonds of Florida,
amounting to several millions, or the
arrears of interest due by Florida, Arkan-
sas, Texas and Mississippi.

TO MISS ANGIE ........

How lovely all the fields arc clad,
With robes of green, and flowers so gay
And vet tn, Sc hearts of ours feel sad,
Because, soon, they pass away.
If.pring would linger all the year,
And flowers bud and bloom each day,
These hearts would still more sad appear,
Because, they did not pass away.
There is place beyond the tomb,
There spring increasingly abides;
Where flowers immortal, always bloom;
Where joy and grief no heart divides.
