A CuRIoUs SQUIRRELS NFsr.-Birds nest,
whether of the edible kind or otherwise, has
always been a matter Of curiosity; but squir-
refs nests appear now to have borne off the
palm, according to the following, from the Cud-
do (Ala.) Gazette:
- Wes received ON Yesterday. from .Ho~art,
letter dated Red Bayou, Jan. 10, 1857, ac-
companIed by segar box, which contains
what he says is squirrels nest. He repre-
sents that the steamer White Cliffs, on her trip
from Fulton to Shreveport, struck large cy-
press tree in Il ed Bayou, and among the limbs
that fell on her forecastle was one that contain
cd nest, supposed to have been manufactured
by squirrel. The nest forms u mass of varied
matter, seemingly decomposed for the most
part, adhering lightly together We find in it
two rife balls of different sizes, duck shot, gam
blers' ivory checks, fishing lines, percussion
caps, egg shells, pieces Of glass and broom
straw, the lead that covered the cork of a bot
tie, and divers other things There is no tell
Ing what may be in the centre, for we have not
broken it up, perhaps valuable coin and dia-
monds The mystery is, how, in that wild and
unsettled region, such articles could be fonnd
oy a squirrel, and further, how the little animal
should have taken fancy to them. The nest
IS IN our Office, where it may be seen by those
who take an interest in curiosities"
"A GooD MANS WIsH.-I freely confess to
you that would rather, when am laid down
IN the grave, have some one in his manhood
stand over me and say: There lies one who
was real friend to me, and privately warned
me OF the dangers of the young mo one knew it;
put ne aided me in the time of need; l owe
VIVA. am to him. or I would rather have some
"'dow, with choking utterance, telling her
children, There is your friend and mine. He
visited me in my atfiiction, and found you my
son, an empLoyer-and You, my daughter, a
happy home III yirtuous family / say, i
would rath er that such persons should stand at
my grave, than to have erected over it the
most beautiful sculptured monument of Partisan
or Italian marble. The hearts broken utter
ance of reflections of past kindness, and the
tears OF a grateful memory shed upon the grave
than the m ost costly cenotaph ever reared.
