NATURE AND ARr.-Upon examining the edge

pear as broad as the back of thick knife; rough
uneven, full ofnotches and burrows An exceed
ingly small needle resembles rough iron bar
But the sting of a bee, seen through the same in
mazingly beautiful, without the least Jaw blem-
ish or Inequality and it ends with point too fine
to be discerned, A small piece ofexceedingly
fine lawn appears, through a microscope, like a
hurdle or lattice, and the threads seem coarser
than yarn with which ropes arc made for an-
chors But a silkworm's web appears perfectly
smooth and shining, and everywhere equal
The smallest dot that can be made with a pen
appears, when viewed by the microscope, an ir-
regular spot, rough, Jagged and uneven. But
the little specks on the wings or bodies ofinsecs
are found to be most accurately circular, So
great is the contrast between the works of Cod
and man.

OccrPAT1oS.-What glorious thingi is for
the human heart! Those who work hard seldom
yield themselves entirely up to fancied or real
sorrow. When grief sets down, folds its hands
and mournfully feeds upon its own tears, weav-
ing the dim shadows that little exertion might
sweep away into the funeral pail, the strong
spirit is shorn Gifts might, and sorrow becomes
our master. When troubles flow upon you,
dark and heavy, toll not with the waves-wLes-
tie not with the torrent, rather seek by occupa-
ton to divert the dark waters that threaten to
overwhelm you into thousand channels which
the duties Of life always present. Before you
dream of it those waters will fertiIize the pres
ent and give birth to fresh flowers that may
brighten the fnturC-a flowers that will become
pure and HOLY, in the sunshine which pcnetratcs
to the path of duty, in spite of every obstacle
Grief after all, is but selfish feeling; and rnost
selfish is the man who yields himselfto the ill.,
diligence Of any passion which brings nojoy to
his fellow man.--frs. Ann S. Stephens.

nay, more so, than quickness to resent an in
dignity. Every fellow has the latter, but 1t is
only the gentleman who has the former. We
are sure that there isnot a society OF gentlemen
in Europe who would not think sufficient re-
paration done in this instance whensthe wrong
had been stopped even before actual accomplish
ment and its impropriety admitted What more
President Pierce requirers he does not say in
his message, but as the direct bearing of the
United States law on the point is now admitted,
and there is no chance of British enlistment
being again attempted in the ULion, any further
PREPARATION demanded by the United States
Government must be something more than the
vindication of its honor, respect toits neutrality
and obedience to its laws It is a matter on
which We conceive the British Government will
be guided by precedent HwilIdeal with the
United States as it would with France OF any
other European Court; and if, notwithstanding,
the United States should demand more, the peoz
pie of this country will not submit to undeser-
we'd and gratuitous humiliation.
The message is written with simplicity and
clearness, and it is by no means so lengthy and
diffuse as some of its predecessors. Indeed, it
looks as if the President had found himself at
an end sooner than he expected, and had been
induced to append two long discussions on the
constitutional theory of Governments and the
constitutional relation of slavery in order to
MAKE up Tue oulA 10 tne TASTE OF MS read
ers. We shall not enter, for the present, into
these or any other topics Of the message. We
heve only to assure the Americans that the peo-
pie of this country read these documents with
an interest only second to that with which they
read an important Ministerial statement in their
own Legislature. They are all rejoiced to see
the sudden prosperity and immense development
of country which they feel to have come out of
themselves. 1t sno pleasure to them to find
documents so fatteFing to their own national
pride marred by the introduction Of petty SQUAD
bles, the matter and very existence Of which are
new to most British readers. They have no
wish that honor should be lost between the two
States, and it will not be their fault if it is.

THE LONDON TIMES ON WAR,
-. ,G(E&C.

Although quite lengthy, we cannot forbear
laying before our our readers the following arti-
Gle from the London Times, the leading paper of
Great Britain. tits we'll that. the people, whose
representatives have such matters in charge,
should for themselves learn directly the toneand
sentiment of foreign nations, in order that they
may be prepared to pass proper Judgment upon
the acts of their Representatives. We therefore
bespeak an attentive porusal for them.
There is no question but that there is q seri-
Gus prospectO of war with England on the Mos
quito question. There seems but one voice in
the Senate in favor of the Clayton construction
Of the treaty, and determination to uphold it.
If Great Britain does not yield, war must en-,
sue, unless $40 should be the precedent which
We will at lastEollow Indeed wehave for some
time thought that there was settled purpose
on the part of some of the politicians to get up
a war in order to afford a counter irritant' to
the popular commotion which has been so fool
ishly eesendsred over the country. Much in
this direction do the fierce speeches of Seward,
Foote, &C., tend Whatever may be the result
we hope our legislators will be prudent IN the
position which they assume, and then live up to
It and no backing out Prudence first, decision
and promptness afterwards, and let there be no
occasion to recede aud no baekstepping

PRRPAR1Se FOR WAR-The recent idle ru-

PATENT OFFICE.
s4TreA ~ uIsroxY-rIsHrg

!
In late communication to the Patent Office
on the subject of Agriculture, Mr.. Roswell L.
Colt, of Patterson, New Jersey, incidentally
commends to the attention of the Office the in
PRODUCTION into the waters of this country of
many varieties of fish not now known to them.
He says: 81
"E6e mullet of the Garonne would be yalua-
bic in your Potomac, and also the sardine. The
trout and salmon of the Rhine and its waters
would answer further north; turbot and sole for
the Jersey waters and trout carp, and salmon
for north of the Delaware. have ordered from
Scotland the last three kinds for the waters of
East Jersey"
The mode ofintroduction suggested, by means
of transporting the spawn from one locality to
another, is entirely feasible and convenient.
1t is probable that as much can be effected in
this department of culture as in any other to
which the attention of naturalists has been di-
Irected; and the only wonder is, that, in view Of
the success of the comparatively few experiment,
that have heretofore been made in this country,
so little has yet been DONE Volumes, indeed,
might be written in illustration of the Importance
and practicabiEity of the suggestions of Mr.. Colt
the greater portion of the information, however,
heing derived from observations of accidental
occurrences and merely capricious experiments,
rather than from well-planned and systematic
tests, made with reference to the consummation
of important results. II
The carp, as is known, was introduced into
the Hudson river from France by Capt. Robin
| son, of Newbern, New York, and subsequently
protected by law for number of years, that its
propagation might be adequate to secure its per-
manence there. At later period Mr. j. w.
Kneyels, of Fishkill, formerly of Newbern, in
troduced to a pond upon his farm the golden
carp, or gold fish, from China; but, by the &C.
cidental destruction of his dam, they escaped
and were also borne to the Hudson, where now
exist in .tolerable abundance the carp, the gold
en- carp, and hybrid partaking of the charac=
teristics of both. a'---t
The smelt, now abundant in Jamaica pond,
near Boston, did not originally exist there, but
was carefully transported, either from Europe
or from some section of this country. Salmon
and shad were formerly found in the Merrimac,
and the latter in Lake Winnipiseogee and its
tributaries; but since the establishment ofmanu-
factories at Lowell, and the consequent damming
of the river, these fishes have disappeared from
all the upper waters; while, on the other hand,
the opening of communication between Lake
Erie and the Hudson has introduced to that lake
and its accessories cells and perhas other fish not
previously found there. The same result has
also been experienced in Lake Ontario since its
connection with Lake Erie by means of the
Welland canal. :
