IOIOW0O them Outs u6 Cndrm was broken the people had resumed the use of their own faculties, aud were now collect- ed in groups. Passing little party, heard one Say:-

 Did you ever hear fellow get such 1skinning?'

 'lt was cqualto any tamphis, remark ed another. -. .1

 That's true, and well he deserved it, added a third, there's no tsOO aOays about it,

 Can you tell mo- said I, addressing one of them who leaned on his gun, while he wiped his eyes with the fringe of his hunting shirt, can you tell me the name of the gentleman who has spoken?'

 Yon are not a residenter in these parts, l reckon,' said he of the rife.

 am a perfect stranger replied I.

 That is we'll seen,' rejoned the hunt CT, otherwise you never would have ask ed that question. What man in all ken- lucky could ever have brpng tears into my eyes by the tinfMH, but Jo Davies' .

 had seen, in the guise ofa hunter, the highly gifted Joseph Hamilton Davies and had heard, in the obscurity of log cabin, one of the choicest efforts of man who has seldom been excelled in genius, in l generosity of heart, or manliness of char acter. --. a.. Ten years afterwards business again 1 called me to the West. Anxious to view theimprovement of this promising country, l extended my journey to the beautiful val ley of the Wabash.

 At that period the population had not ex- tended great distance up the river. Here and there, even as far up as the mouth of the Mississinaway. was seen the log hut of the settler on public land, but the country was generally but sparely populated. It was the spring season; aud no country in the world presents richer scenery, or more diversified, than the valley of; that lovely river at this period of the year. Along the path which pursued, small prairie skirted with the finest timber, and covered with profusion of beautiful llow- CTS, succeeded another and tho eye was continually refreshed with the graceful stream and its clear waters. The richness of the grass, the beauty of the forest, the mildness and brilliance of the spring wealh- CT, and the entertainment of the whole scene, induced me to finger for time in the will I derness. One evening I reached the cab- in of one of the remote settlers, and learn ing that the battle ground of Tippecanoe was but a few miles distant determined to visit it. On the following morning early, | reached the spot consecratcd by the va- Tor of our countrymen; and having tied my horse to bush, at the skirt of prairie, ascended to the small plain of table land ,in the form of a horse shoe, where 'Many a valorous decd was done,

 Aud many head laid lOw.''

 But few vestiges of the battle were re- maining. Here and there, the bleached skull of some noble fellow lay on the grass and more than once l stumbled over the logs which had formed part of the tempo rary breast work, thrown up after the bat tie, and have since heen scattered over the field. At an angle of the encampmept, and where the carnage had been greatest, was slight mound of earth, scarcely rising above the surrounding surface. Near it stood an oak tree, on the bark of which the letters J. D. were rudely carved.- This was the only memorial of ono of the most favored of Kentucky's sons; for un- der that mound reposed all that remained of the chivalrous, the generous, the elo- quent, and highly gifted "JO DGoies."

 The following beautiful description of the Eye, forms part of the chapter upon Light, in Arnou's Physics. work of great interest and learning :-

 |" But this miracle of Light would have been totally useless, and the lovely para disc of earth would have been to man still dark and dreary desert, had there not been the twin miracle of an organ of com mensurate delicacy to perceive the light, viz. of the eye |; in which there is round cornea ofsuch perfect transparence, placed exactly in the anterior centre of the ball, land elsewhere it had been useless, then exactly behind this the beautiful curtain the iris, with its pupil dilating and contracting to suit the intensity of light-and exactly behind this again, the chrystaline lens, hav- ing many qualities which only complex structure in human art can attain. and by the entering light forming on the retina beautiful pictures and images ofthe objects in front, the most sensible part ofthe retina being where the images fall. Of these parts and conditions, had any one been otherwise than it is, the whole eye had been useless, and light useless, and the rI ,,n:wn.-na ,,eo1aaa fO vnou Tor Aa nc.,ll
