MISCELLANY.

AMERICAN SoCIETY.-In America, even
more than in Europe, there is but one society.
whether rich or poor, high or low, CONNER
cial or agricultural; 1t is everywhere compos-
ed of the same elements. 1t has all been
raised or reduced to the same level of civiliza-
ton. The man whom you left in the streets
of New York, you can find again in the soil
tude of the far West; the same dress, the
same tone of mind, the same language, the
same habits, the same amusements. No rustic
simplicity, nothing characteristic of the will
derness, nothing even like our villages. This
popularity may be easily explained. The por-
tons of territory first and most fully peopled.
have reached a high degree of civilization.
Education has been prodigaly bestowed; the
spirit of equality has tinged with singular uni
formty the domestic habits.
Now it is remarkable that the men thus ed
ucated are those who every year migrate to
the desert. In Europe, man lives and dies
where he is born. In America, you do not see
the representative of a race grown and multi
piled in retirement, having long lived unknown
TO the world and left to his own efforts. The
inhabitants OF an isolated region arrived yes
terday, bringing with them their habits. ideas
and civilization. They adopt only SO much of
savage life as is absolutely forced upon them:
hence you see the strangest contrasts. You
step from the wilderness into the streets of
city, from the widest scenes to the most smi-
ling pictures of civilized life If night does
not surprise you, and force you to sleep under
a tree, you may reach village where you will
find everything, even French fashions and
caricatures from Paris. The shops of Buffalo
or Detroit are as well supplied with all these
things as those of New York. The looms OF
Lyons work for both alike.
You leave the high road; you plunge into
paths scarcely marked out; you come at length
upon plowed field, hut, built of rough logs.
lighted by single narrow window; you think
that you have at last reached the abode of
the American peasant; you are wrong. You
enter this hut, which looks the sole abode of
misery; the master Is dressed as you are: his
language is that of the towns On his rude
table are books and newspapers; he takes you
hurriedly aside to be informed of what is go
ing on in Europe, and ask you what has most
struck you in this country. He will trace on
paper for you the plan of a campaign in Bel
GUM, and will teach you gravely what re-
mains to be done for the prosperity of France
You might take him for a rich proprietor. come
to spend few nights i'm shooting box. And
in fact the log hut is only halting place for the
American, temporary submission to necessi-
ty. As soon as the surrounding fields are
thoroughly cultivated, and their owner has
time to occupy himself with superfluities. a
more spacious dwelling will succeed the log
hut, and become the home of large family Of
children, who, in their turn will some day
build themselves dwelling in the wilderness

The NIGHTINGALE-These delightful sonp
sters are birds of passage in England and the
north of Europe, where they stay during the
summer months and raise their young. They
are to be found as far north as the middle of
Sweden, and the temperate portions of Siberia.
throughout all Asia and in Egypt. In Italy
they are very numerous, and sing better than
In more northern lands. Their breeding pla-
ces are among brambles, in groves or in hedg-
es where their favorire food most abounds.
This consists of grubs and perfect insects of
almost every kind, and in the fall elderberries
and currants. Both sexes have a sweet. low
MARBLE; but the male is endowed with the most
varied power of song, each note clear and dis
tinctly articulated. Like most fine singers the
nightingale has plain plumage-rusty ash
above and whitish beneath. The length of the
wild bird is five inches, of which the tail alone
measures two and a half inches. No other
bird has been so generally praised for melody.
he has been the theme of many a poet Ii is
seldom he utters his melodious notes in the
daytime, but when the shades of night fall. he
then pours fourth his soul in song.
Those who have visited the sunny cline of
Italy, speak with rapture of the song of the
nightingale Bechstein says of him. that the
strength of his vocal organ is indeed wonder
ful; and il has been found that the muscles of
ms larynx are much more powerful than those
OF any other bird. But it is less the strength
than the compass, 1exibility, prodigious varie-
ty and harmony of voice, which make it so
admired by all lovers of the beautiful. Some
times dwelling for minutes on strain COM
posed of only two or three melancholy tones.
he begins in an under voice and swelling IL
gradually by the most superb crescendo to the
highest point of strength, he ends it by dy-
ing cadence; or 1t consists of rapid success
sion OF more brilliant sounds terminated like
many other strains of his song, by some de-
tatched ascending notes. Twenty-four differ
ent strains or couplets may be reckoned in the
song OF fine nightingale, without including
its delicate little variations
