zling and grand is this spot, that no hand OF
art can decorate so real as this stony frost
work of nature The arch is two miles long,
and each step developcs new features, and
creates new impressions. At some points the

Rocky Mountains, which when lit up forms a
scene of magnificent grandeur. From the
Rocky Mountains we went to Prentice's Pit
passing through several fine and noted spots
The Pit was lighted up, and it was fearful
sight to look down two hundred feet and Sec
assures, lodges and cavcrns, ju,ting out or sha-
ded by the light. This ended our trip. We
were nine miles from the entrance, ana Il long
and weary road before us, SO We returned,
gathering such specimens as VIC could carry
and reaching the daylight again just as the
sun was setting, having been gone twelve
hours, pretty tired, and thoroughly convinced
that the Mammoth Cave, is the eighth wonder
of the world

dant, and they never thought of anything more
Still, do not see how they got along very well
when agriculture was In such rude state.
They must have merely scratched the ground
when the horses harness was made of straw or
hair ropes. One man told me he remembered
OF seeing apony narrowing all day, drawing by
the tail. They carried their turf from the bog
and their grain to the market in large baskets
called creels, which hung by the horses sides
Some even carried their sheaves from the fields
and the manure from the barn in the same
slow way. If they had vehicle at all, it was
a sled ca, or a wheel car. The former con-
sisted OF two long shafts by the horses sides,
with box fastened on the hind end The latter
was set or two low plank wheels. Young men
seldom went to work till near twenty years of
age Befre that time, they spent their time
in herding cows, fishing, aud going to school.
Nor were the old folks too diligent. Often a
whole neighborhood met and spent the day in
playing the football, or throwing the black
stick. Old men are generally partial to the
state of things in their early days But if we
can depend on their representation, they en-.
Joyed, notwithstanding their carelessness aud
rude implements, comfort and abundance
which was far from falling to the lot of their
descendants.

A TRIBUTE TO THE AMERICAN TRACT
SOCIETY.

The New York Day Book, paper whose
aim is the universal spread of Slavery, the
vival of the African slave trade, and the demon
stration that negroes are not men, but supe-
rior sort of apes, and which SCOTS at the idea of
his elevation, pays the following deserved trib
ute to the recent action of the American Tract
Society:
The AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.-The ami
versary of this Society on Wednesday was as
satisfactory IN its results its truest friends
could desire. For several years, the Abolition
lists, headed by Rev. II. w. Beecher, Rev. j. =.
Thompson, Rev. DIR. Patton, with such Law
members as S. b. Chttenden, Bowen, and the
entire Independent clique, have been moving
heaven and earth to get control Of this Society,
in order to use its funds for the purpose of ad-
vancing political Abolitionism, and thereby as
ssting the Republican" party. Deny it who
may, this was the great point aimed at, and it
is abundantly satisfactory to see how thoroughly
they have been beaten at every point. Two or
three years since, when they first commenced
| the attack, their success seemed almost certain
but each year their influence has grown less
| and less, until yesterday they were almost liter
| ally kicked out of the Society.
| No man had offended these Abolition GENTRY
so much as the Rev. DR.. Adams, of Boston. who
once published " South Side View Of Slavery"
containing more truth than they could relish.
The vote of the Society yesterday, on the cleo
| ton of the Publishing Committee reveals the
strength of the disorganizng Abolition faction.

Won SPRAGGLES' COMET.

When Charles the Fifth held sway, we're told
By all historians, It's we'll known,
comet did a TAIL unfold,
:. winch made the monarch leave his throne
And wise men all, both great and small
In cSowds came out 10 viewit;
Some said OH earth twas bound 10 fall,
Some saidit would not do it,
Bot as they gazed it passed away,
Earth on her axis still did turn
Which led some theorists TO say
Tina! comets would not burn.
IT'S now mo matter how manyl years
Sincf Charles the Fifth did reign;
This star erratic sllll appears,
"Molsieur Tonson's come again"
Wicked eyes now heavenward turn,
Where meier they turned before;
And as the heavens seem to burn,
They gaze aud wonder more
But er, this wonder on our earth
Disp aged itself TO mortal eyes,
Astronomers foretold It's birth,
And marked lis orbit in The skies
Herr Won Spraggles, " no possessed
vey inquiring mind,
70 give their calculation test,
This comet tried to find.
In Theus' lap had sunk the moon,
The world as dreaming and asleep,
And SPraggles thought TO view full soon
This monster of the upper deepn
His visaage wore dubious smile,
When he raised the eye-glass 10 his face,
And lie statue stood awhile,
Piercing through il into space.
Now, on the cave meath which he stood
10 make his observation,
A cat III quiet solitude
Had la'en her lonely station.
But growing resiiess soon, Malbrook

And as Won Sprageles turned TO look,
