NosEs.-Noses may be divided into four
classes-thus: Grecian; deuoting amiabili-
ty of disposition, equanimity of temper, i'm
aginaton, patience in labor, and resignation
in tribulation. Roman imperiousness,
courage, presence of mind, nobleness of
heart CIT or Tiger; cunning, deceit, re-
venge, obstinacy and selfshuess. Pug; i'm
bcciity of mind, and indecision of charac-
ter. Of three of these there are innumera-
bic grades-the Greciar descends to the pug
the Roman 10 the aquiline; but the cat
or tiger is suigencris. The Cirecian nose is
most conspicuous in quiet scenes-in the
study. The Roman, in spirit stirring scenes
in war Men of science often, and of
imagination always, have the Grecian nose.
Daring soldiers and fearless adventures gen.
orally have the Roman. Every one knows
what pug is. We need not enter intoany
particulars of it. Nature forms her thous-
ands of them, and we regard them not. The
CAT or TIGER nose. Whoever has theleast
imagination will readily conceive what we
mean by this definition it is a long, flattish
nose, not unlike that of the animals from
whom we have borrowed the name. Avoid
men with such noses-they are deceitful
friends and dangerous enemies, whenever it
suits their whim or interests.

The PRAIRIE DGG.-In Captain Marcy's
exploration of the Red River of Louisiana
are given some interesting facts about that
! singular animal, the prairie dog. lie says ::
"Passing through these dog villages, the lit
! tie animals arc seen in countless numbers,
! sitting at the entrance Of their subterranean
dwellings, presenting the appearance of
stumps of small trees, and so incessant is the
chatter of their barking, that it requires but
little effort of the imagination to fancy ones
self surrounded with the busy hum of city
The Immense number of animals in some of
these towns, may be conjectured from the
farre space they sometimes cover. Captain
Marcy passed one Of these towns twenty-five
miles in length, and supposing it to be as
large in other directions, would embrace an
area of six hundred and ninety-fve square
miles, or eight hundred and ninety-six thous-
and acres. Estimating the holes at 20 yards
apart, the usual distance, and each dwelling
occupied by four or five dogs, the whole pop
ulation of this tract would be in round num-
bers, f'ry miHians Of dogs. The food of
these animals consist principally of coarse,
wiry grass, which grows in abundance on eIe-
waited plains, often many miles from any wa
ter, which does not seem necessary to their
existence.
! About the last of October, the prairie dog
carefully closes all the passages to his habita-
ton, and turns in for long nap. He keeps
housed until the warm days of spring, when
he removes the distinctions in front of his
door, and emerges full of life, fun and frolic.
! The rattlesnake is often an inmate of their
dwellings, and sometimes prcys on them when
hungry.

CREATION OF THE HUMAN RAcE.-Dr.
Hitchcock, the eminent geologist, said, in a
recent discourse delivered by him in Albany,
that geological scenes places man among the
most recent of created things. We find the
surface of the earth (says DR. II. composed,
to the depth Of some eight or ten miles, Of
rocks These rocks are full of the remains
of animal and plants. Thirty thousand
species of them which differ FROM any living
species have been disinterred, yet no human
remains are found among them until the
loose oil-alluvium-is reached, which soil
is universally acknowledged to be of recent
origin. The remains of other animals are
found several thousand feet below the sur.
face, while the fossil remains of man have
never been found 50 low as one hundred feet
below the surface. But, if man had been in
existence when these other animals lived
whose remains were found at such depths,
his remains would also have been found
there for bones are of the same structure as
theirs, and consequently no less likely tc
resist destruction.

YsVIIESE celebrated machines arc in practical and
Il profitable use in all parts of the civilized
world. In all the various trades, and in sewing
every sort ofsfnbric, either Of cloth or leather,
they have been fully tried and approved. Sewing
machines Of other manufacturers often fail to
work, but Singers Machines always operate per-
fectly, being strong, durable and complete in con-

machine kept employed affords o clear profit of

constant vexation and loss The entire reliability
of our machines is one great reason for their un-
paraleled popularity.
Machines for family sewing, of q ffuii and del
icate construction. are recommended by other
manufacturers. Such machines are made to catch
the eye, not to perform substantial work. The
truth is, family sewing machines ought to be
stronger than any other, because they go into less
skilfu hands than when sold to manufacturers,
and are used for greater variety of work. The
machines which have proved best for all other pur-
poses must be best for family use, and they are

been doubled. No other can compare with them

A DEAD MAN IN COURT.

Some years ago man without family or
relations lived in a county in Arkansas, and
was possessed of an estate worth $4,000. Lie
went to New Orleans, and was absent four
years without being heard from. The Pro,
bate Judge granted administration on his es'
tate-wound it up and discharged the ad,
ministrator. The man returned-had been
to Mexico-applied 10 the Judge for his pro-
perty-when in open court the following
dialogue took place:
Dead man-If your Honor please I want
my effects returned to me, as you see l am
not dead.
Court-I know-that is as a man
that you are alive and in court, but as a
court, know you are deal, for the records
of this court say so, and against their verify
there can be no averment-so says Lord
Coke, and a good many other books never
read.
Dead Man-But want my property, and
it's no matter to me whether your records lie
or not. I am alive, have not transferred
my property, and to deprive me of it without
my consent is against all law.
Court-If you insinuate that the records
of this courtlie, this court will send you to
Jail?
Dead Mun-Senda dead man to Jail.
Comt-Mr. Sheriff, take this appariatlon
out.
tSaeri6-"Be thou ghost or goblin dam'd,
III speak to thee let's 60 and take some
thing to drink.
The Judge stuck to it, that so far as his
court was concerned he pas dead, and ID
if he shouldn't stay dead and the poor
fellow went into chancery and spent all he
made in Mexico, and the rest.

A HORRIFIED DARKEY.

.. Mr. NJ, wealthy American gentleman,
has lately arrived in Paris from the United
States. He is accompanied by his family
and several negro servants-slayes-who
now find themselves in Gland of liberty
Cd but DO not seem so anxious to avail them
selves of the circumstances as French and
English abolitionists think they ought. They
seemed to be impressed with the stupid idea
that to be we'll fed, clothed and cared fol, to

A CALL UPON MR.. BUCHANAN.

"Burleigh," correspondent of the Boston
journal, has called upon Mr.. Buchanan, at
his residence in Wheatland, not, however,
in the capacity of an ofice-seeker-but being
on business engagement at Lancaster, went
a little out of the way to make friendly
call upon the President elect. After dcscrib-
ing the approach to that gentleman's resi-
dence, he continues as follows:
Now stand at the gate of the residence
of the President elect The mansion is pic
turesque and elegant A plain black wooden
fence separates it from the road. A circu-
lar path, hidden by forest trees and shrub
berry, guides up to the mansion. The car
riage drive is of dark gravel, and the whole
area is carefully and neatly swept, trimmed
and in order No steps of childhood mar
the elegant borders, and no play toys litter
the land. The dwelling house is of brick,
unpainted, reposing amid and hid partly by
grove of trees in front and in the rear 1t
is composed of two stories, with brick wings
on either side of the main dwelling-a large
portico, supported by substantial columns,
adorns the front entrance, and the whole
place indicates taste and comfort. In the
centre of the garden is a small white house,
the dwelling of the gardener. Mr.. Buchan-
an is not farmer-his whole estate compri-
ses only eighteen acres.
On nv passage to Wheatland fell in with
one of the farmers who live near Mr.. Buch-
auan. He spoke warmly of Mr.. BIS char
actcr as a neighbor and man-said he was
a plain man and a kind neighbor--that he
seldom rode to Lancaster but travelled the
distance on foot-that he kept an open house
for his friends-and that Mrs. Lane, his
niece and housekeeper, was one of the most
accomplished and benevolent of ladies. My
informant was warm, personal, but not po-
litical friend of Buck-han-nan, as heis call
ed here. The front gate swung open and
seemed to invite an entrance. l walked IN

assumption of management, he desired a
play from Dumas, and went to his hotel to

he knew the object of his visit, and said to

She claims "her rights and have fears

What course to take will some one tell us!
