ASEcDoTE OF AUDUBoN.-The great
naturalist was on the lookout for the red
headedwoodpeckers, and was very anx-
ious to obtain a specimen. Seeing one
flying into hole i'll tree long way up
he pulled off his coat and climbed up
with that energy which never failed him.
Putting and sweating he reached it at
last, and putting in his hand to seize the
bird, to his great dismay a snake stuck
his head out of the hole and Kissed in
his face, This was SO unexpected and
frlghtful that Audubon let go his hold
and tumbed to the ground more dead
than alive. His companion came run
ming up to him, and seeing he was not
hurt but dreadfully frightened, said to
him: "Ah, you are very much fright

There is set of people, the pinks
of fashionable propriety, whose every
word is precise, whose every movement
is unexceptionable; but who, though yer
sed in all the categories of polite be- avior,
have not a particle of soul or of cordiality
about them. Their manners may be ele-
gance in every position; not step that
would not bear the severest scrutiny. This
is all very fine; but what want is the
heart and the gayety Of social intercourse
the frankness that spreads case and an
imation around 1.-THE eye that speaks
affability to all-that chases timiditv from
every bosom, and tells every man in the
company to be confident and happy

There's not plant that springeth,
But bears some good to earth;
There's not a life but bringeth
Its store ofharmless mirth;
The dusty, wayside clover
Hath honey in its cells
The wild bee humming over,
Her tale of pleasure tells;
The osiers DER the fountain,
Keep cool the waters breast,
And on the toughest mountain
The softest moss is press'd.
Thus holy Nature teaches
The worth of blessings small,
That love pervades, and reaches,
And forms the bliss of all.
