A Curious DIscovERY-.A RIVER UNDER

cord contains Il curious letter from Mr..
George Catlin, the celebrated American
traveller:
Mr.. Catlin, the American ethnographist,
whose extensive travels have led him
through the widest and rudest scenery
in America, has turned his attention, for
several years past, from the Indians to the
rocks, and has made in these studies
voyages to South America. to the Rocky
Mountains, the Andes, and the Antilles,
the results Of which he is preparing to
publish in work entitled The Lifted
and Subsided Rocks of America, with
their Influences on the Atmospheric,
Oceanic, and Land Currents" And one
of the striking features of the book SC ems
10 be. to quote his own words, "the dis.
covery of a river under the Rocky Noun
tains many times larger than the Missis-
sippi's length, aud gliding through the

DoN'T Grow OLD!-There are those

DoN'T Grow OLD!-There are those
who never grow old-some upon whom
the frosts of WINTER or the heat of summer
fall barnlessly, who without wealth,
beauty, or superior intellect, yet always
are attractive, always sought after. In
what consists this wonderful charm !?
Not in any great physical or mental
gifts, nor in a particular regard for dress
-no-.he secret is happy temper, a
cheerful disposition, spirit ever looking
on the "silver lining" to the clouds of
life. once knew dear old lady, from
from whose lips no one ever heard un-
kindness or anger-she possessed the
man,le or perfect charity, and even if any
acquaintance did worng, or committed
some indiscretion, nay, even dishonest
action, though her pure soul condemned
in secret, she ever tried to find some
excuse, some plea for these improprieties.
She acted on the priuciple embodied in
those beautiful, yet simple, lines, Speak
gently"-while she endeayored to fold
her mantle round all, anu screen them
from further i'll. Intellect is surely a
great gift, and often compensates for a
lack Of comelnesS. Beauty is attractive
indeed one Of our best writer's has said
-"Thcre is q nameless fascination about
beauty, that wins without an effort, and
obtains credit for everything else" But
the charm Of agreeable manners, ola
charitable disposition, ola sunny temper,
will outbalance all others-and it is this
peculiar charm which keeps some persons
always young.

it IS not understood or known by the
majority of our readers, that We have
court here about every other day, and
that the nabbing or grabbing process is
so frequent and common, that the man
who ventures outside Of his door without
sufficient cause is set down as one who
has fully determined to face the music,
and die, if need be, in the cause Of his
country. There is scarcely a man on
business range who ventures out with.
out fear and trembling, as for US, we
quake. We know Of one individual, and a
man who never feared before, and who
