Prairie .Musings.
Ilow Leautilul is me nana y-work or .
GoJ. which is nOW tO be Seen Oil the prai
rie ! 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

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.

empties on us the vials oi Ins wrath, we

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.

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. Great

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

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-

As many of our readers are preparing
to go to the country for the summer, it
may be useful to remind them that an
ounce vial of spirits of hartshorn should
be considered one of the indispensables,
as in case of being bitten or stung by any
poisonous animal or insect, the immediate
