I pity you who have nothing but the eternal hills to gaze upon ; no grand rolling prairies extending as far as the eye can reach until they touch the horizon's rim. They are now clothed with an emerald robe, the long grasses waving and keeping time with every gen tle breeze; dotted over with flowers of every hue with here and there a dwel ling house to disturb the monotony of the scene; interspersed w ith numerous springs over whose crystal waters the goddess of health presides, and in whose silver stream ! a solitary cottonwood often draws its nourishment. A view of the prririe from j one of nature's mounds upheaved by the hand of Him who "speaks, and it is ! done." is beautiful, i-i rnrhnnf irirr Unist could excel with rifted Jncifnr o j bru?h, the beauties spread out before us. Underneath our fee t lies a gorgous carpet, woven by skiilful hands "without money or without price." A silver stream, skirted on either sije with the dark, green foliage of the forest arrests out at tention for a moment as it glides through the prairie with its gentle ilow, to pay its tribute to the Missouri river. Tar away on one silo lies the hills of the bluffs in graceful outline against the cthtrial biue. In the distance we behold ihp fnr famed and opulent city of London. We look in vain for its splendid edifices, its kfty domes and glittering spires. In vain we listen with wrapt attention to catch the sojnd of the distant bell. Alas! its glory has departed. One broad expanse of undulating prairie meets our vision on every hand, over-arched with the drapery of the; heavens, a dome, whose "Maker land builder is God." The beautiful tin- ted jbwers at ojt feet, with their petals i spread to catch the sunbeams : the cattle I It'll on a thousand hills; waving fields of grain; homes made beautiful bv th lmmU nf - .5 1.H the humble cabin in ! lent folds its w n-s. all lend erichantmeiit to the scrne. Whilst gazing en s.;ch a scene as this, surely no 1 one ocuid find it in his heart to say "there i is no God," or fail to recognize the foot- prints of a Divine Being starrped on all I of nat.ire's lineuments. More appropriate : would be the words of the Psalmist. "How manifold are thy works, O Lord; j between the octcrol wall and the inner in wisdom hast thou made them all."1 A ! mie fortifications.

What great induce- j ments such a country as this on which the ! horn of plenty has been empted, pre- j PelIt,d h' tard times to forsake the home ! nf Pnan.T finn'oro n ! , , , , a neu' homG the frontiers. The SCCn- ! erv here is beautiful : the climate Leal- ! ; ..... i thy ; the soil is nch, fertile and easy of ! cultivation. Alon" the rrar-in of the , "a'.;'u luc : water-courses ar our timber rrro"id Xo very stately trees rear their giant ! ing villages have sprung into existence as if by magic beautiful oases on the waving, billowing prairie mere specks on the bosom of infinity. The revelry f drunken men never grates harshly on the ear ; the elevating amusements of horse-rating and dog-fighting have as yet found no foot-hol on the prairie to mar the beauty of the works of Goo". May they ever prove aliens to it. To you who are ground down by the oppressions of aj hard task-master ; who have not enough to feed and clothe your families, who dai ly breathe over and over again the im pure air of a city, I would say, ho ! for Nebraska. Come where the air is always pure and invigorating, where the prairie breezes are laden with the perfume of flowers, where plenty reigns, and where you can obtain for yourself and family a home with little expense. We have no aristocratic lords of the soil here, who take the bread from the children's mouths. All stand on an equal footing and recog nize no superiority except that which is obtained by a cultivation of the mind and heart. To old maids and bachelors I woi.ld say this is the place to remove this stigma from your name. Match-making occupies a pla:e in the programme of the day. Cupid smiles benignly on this land, and wields his darts with a skillful hand. II. II. Manufacture of Glas.

Large ;sums have been expended for the introduction of machi nery for facilitating the various opera tions through which the crude metal must pass.

Instinct and Talent. All the wonderful instincts of animals, which, in my humble opinion, are proved beyond a doubt, and the belief in which has not decreased with the increase of science and investigation all these in stincts are given them only for the com bination or preservation of the species. If they had not thjs instinct they would be swept from the face of the earth in an instant. The bee, that understands architecture so well, is as stupid as a pebble-stone out of his own particular business of makinar honey. And with all his talents, he only exists that boys may eat his labors and poets sing them. A peasant girl of ten years old, puts the whole republic to death with a little smoke; their palaces are turned into candles, and every clergyman's wife makes mead wine of the honey ; and there is an end of the glory and wisdom of the bees ! Whereas, man has talents that have no sort of reference to his ex istence, and without which his specie might remain upon earth in the same I safety as if they had them not. The bee works at that particular angle which saves most time and labor, and the boast ed edifice he is constructing is only for his egg; but Somerset Iluuse and Blen heim, and the Louvre, have nothing to do with breeding. Epic poems, and Apollo Belvideres, ar.d Venus de Medicis, have nothing to do with living and eating. W e might have discovered pignuts without the Royal Society, and gathered acorns without reasoning about curves of the ninth order. The immense superfluity of talent given to man, which has no bearing upon the animal life, which has nothing to do with the mere preservation of existence, is the very distinguishing circumstance in this comparison. There is no other animal but man, to whom mind appears to be given fur any other purpose than the preservation of the body. . A Firm Religious Belief I envy no quality of the mind or in tellect in others, said Sir Ilua phrey Da vy, be it genius, power, wit or fancy ; but if I could choose what would be the most delightful, and I believe most useful to me, I should prefer a firm religious be lief to any other blessing ; fur it makes a life a discipline of goodness, creates new ; to sea and probably never will t e.

What is gained by the largeness, ! or prominence "of the globe of the eye, ' is width in the field of vision. Such a capacity would be of no use to an animal which was to seek its food m the dark. The mole did not want to look about it; nor would a large advanced eye have been easily defended from the annoyance to which the life of the animal is constant- i ly exposed.

The Elephant's Trnnk. According to Cuvier, the number of muscles in an elephant's trunk, amounts to forty thousand, all of which are under the will, and it is to those that the probos cis of the animal owes its flexibility. It can be protruded or contracted at pleas ure, raised up or turned to either side, coiled round on itself or twined around any object. With this instrument the ele phant collects the herbage on which he feeds and puts it iuto his mouth ; with it he strips the trees of their branches, or grosps his enemy and dashes him to the ground. But this admirable organ is not only adapted for "seizing or holding sub stances of magnitude, it is also capable of plucking a single leaf, or of picking up a straw from the floor. The orifices of the canals of the extremety are encircled by a projecting margin, produced anteriorly into a finger-like process endowed with a high degree of sensibility and exceeding flexibility. It is at once a linger for grasp ing and a feeler; the division between lhe two nasal orinVes cr their elevated sides, serves as a point against which to press ; and thus it can pick up or hold a small coin, a bit of biscuit, or any trifling thing, with the greatest case. Animal Kingdom. Government Progress, The Knickerbocker indulges in the following lively Lit at Uncle Samuel's ship-building abilities: "Spurgeon sometimes comes out with a good thing. "Brethren," said he, "if God had referred the Ark to a committee on naval affairs, it's my opinion it would not have been built yet!" Spurgeon re fers to matters and things in Great Brit ain, yet the remark is equally appplica ble to naval matters in this country. The Naval Bureau were twenty-three years building the frigate Sabine ; when they tkiishvtl her dvk it was discovered that her keel was so rotten that she would have to be rebuilt. Geo. Steers built the steam frigate Niagara in eighteen months, and yet the Niagara is four times as bisr as the Sabine. The line-of-battle ship Pennsylvania cost 81,000,000. She was on the stocks ten years. When launch ed she proved unseaworthy, and came near being u recked in getting from Phil adelphia to Norfolk. She has never been country TIic British aij.

Farm and Garden. Fr jia t tie Country Gentleman. Ilow o Dry Rhubarb. Messrs Editors": As a slight equira lent for the many hints gleaned from the pages of your journal, which has been a family paper since its first publication, I propose to answer the inquiry of one of your correspondents concerning rhubarb. In answer there is nothing very peculi ar in respect to the drying of this plant, or preserving for use. I have seen a printed recommendation, to peel the footr stalks as for common use, and then string ing them as slices of pumpkin are sorne times served, to expose them to the sun in clear weather until dry. I have my self practiced a method which appears, more simple, and at the same time more economical, which is this: to cut the foot stalks into pieces about one inch long, and exposing them upon dishes or driers, as may be convenient, in the open air to the sun, or in a dry house, with temper ature too low to scald. I endeavor to hasten as much as possible the process of drying, in order that the pieces may not be soiled by insects, or the flavor impair ed by mould or partial decay on the sur face, while but little of the juice jn the stclk has been evaporated. I prefer the month of September for drying this plant in the open air, bcth because continued fair weather may then be expected, and insects are less numerous. W'hen fully dried, rhubarb may be kept in bags or boxes, as dried peaches or apples, and re quires a little more time to scald it than when green, but is easily prepared for use. If any quantity be put in a kettle with water in excess, and the mass boiled down to a proper consistency, and sweet ened to taste, it is ready for use, and in pies, or with cream, gives more of the flavor of the same article cooked fresh from the garden, than does a dried prep- UlvllUU UJ.
