Curious Facts.

Serpents are said to obey the voice of
their masters; the trumpeter-brd of Amer
lea follows its owner like spaniel; and the
Iaca acts AS guard to poultry, preserving
them in the fields all the day from the birds
of prey, and escorting them home regular
ly at night. In the Shetland sles there Is
a Gull which defends the hocks from ca
plcs; it is therefore considered as n privl-
lcped bird. The chamois, bounding among
the snowy mountains of the Caucasus, are
indebted for their safety, in no small de-
gree TO peculiar species ofpheasant. This
bird acts as their sentinels; for as soon as
it gets sioht of a man it whistles, upon
hearing which, the chamois, knowing the
hunter to be not far distant, sets off with
the greatest speed, and seeks the highest
peaks of the mountains. The artitices
which partridges and plover employ to de-
lude their enemies from the nest OF their
Young. may be referred to as case IN
point. as well as the adroit convenience OF
the hind for the preservation OF her young,
for when she hears the sound of dogs, she
NUS herself in the way of the hunters, and
starts in a direction TO draw them away
from her fawns. Instances of the effect of
Grief upon animals are also no less remark
able The writer already cited says: 81
knew dog that died for the loss ofits mas
ter. and bullfnch that abstained from
singing ten entire months on account OF the
absence of its mistress. On her return II
Immediately resumed its song" Lord
Kaimes relates an instance of canary,
which, while singing to its mate Matching
her eggs in cage, fell dead; the female
Quilted her nest, and finding him dead, re-
iected all food, and died by his side.

THE BIBLE.

This isa remarkable boz remarkable
for its adaptness to the whole wants and
condition of man. Well may we ask con-
cerning the book, Whence is it?'
Concerning as it does so much that dives
down into the very depths of the human
heart, showing upon its wickedness, and
disclosing even its secret thought, we are
involuntarily led to the conclusion that it
it was the production of a superior mind.
Being, then, so infinitely superior to all
human intellect, we are led to seek for its
conception and authorship in the mind of
that omniscient Being who knowcth the
secret of all hearts! We cannot resist the
conclusion that the Bible is of, and from
God.
Being from God, we also know that his
revelation was made to man for his present
and eternal good, requiring on his part a
reception of the truth it contains, and obe-
diencc to the requirements it enjoins
Having answered the question, whence
is it's We are also led to inquire, What is
it?'
1t Is book Of precepts. obedience to
which will secure a man that peace which
the world can neither give nor take away
1t Is book Of promise, sweet indeed to
the sorrowing and mourning: the penitent
and dying. 1t is the bread upon which
the hungry may feed, and receive food and
nourishment for his furnished soul.
1t is the blazing star of heaven to ilum-
inc the dark and murky path of him who
is seeking to enter wisdom's ways, which
are ways of fpleasantness, and whose paths
are peace
1t is a chart which displays 10 the eye
of the seeker the boundaries Of the prom
ised land, pointing out the shoals and
quicksands in his passage to the desired
haven.
1t IS the Book Of books to the expiring
saint; for Ire turns his dimnmg eyes to the
glorious promises otits sacred pages, ard
feels that they are sure, for they are found
ed on the veracity of Jehovah.
These thoughts have been suggested by
the perusal ola book issued By the Amer
lean Bible Society, New York, entitled,
Testimony of Distinguished Layman to
the value of the Sacred Scriptures, pariic-
ularly in their bearing upon Civil aud So
cial life This book is a gem in itself, and
should be in the hands of every true lover
of the Bible, and well wisher TO the pro
gress in virtue and religion of his country
;nnd the world Orphen's Adcocote.

GENERAL GREENS RETREAT.
AN AMERICAN SKETCH.


To understand the ground over which
this remarkable retreat was performed, it
is only necessary to glance at the map
Three large rivers rise in the north west
part of North and South Carolina, and
flow in a south -castcrly direction toward
the Atlantic The lower. or most south
eastern one, is the Catawba, which emp
ties into the Santee; the north Of it, and
nearly parallel, is the Yadkin; emptying
into the Pcdee; the last, and most northern,
is the Dan, which soon leaves its south
easterly direction and winds backward and
forward across the Virgini line, and final
lv falls into the Roanoke.
Green was now on the Catawba, or most
southern river, and directed his steps north,
his line Of progress cutting the Yadkin and
Dan. To place deep liver between two
armies efcctually separates them for some
time-while rctrcating army between one
and powerful adversary, is almost sure to
be ruined. Therefore, the great effort Of
CORVALLIS was to Overtako his weak enemy
somewhere between the rivers, while the
latter strained every nerve to keep stream
dividing him and his foe. Green was now
