ThejpTesbyterian commenced reading a
catechism. The Baptist, at the .same time,
arose anti commence*! reading a tract on

The effect, was ludicrous It apparently
struck,the mixed congregation'soi for they
all commenced laughing. The Baptist
was wheezyl . He sank exhausted into his
seat, whilst the Presbyterian and Metbo-1

and he indulged in a protracted horse

and forgetting himself, he dealt the Bap

Remarkabie taies of Instinct.
\ . The,surprising faculties of vultures in.'
discovering carrion, has been a subject of
much speculation, as; to whether it is de
pendent on their power* of scent or N sights
It is not, however, more mysterious than
the unerring certainty and rapiuity with
which of the minor animals* and
move especially insects, in warm climates,
congregate around the offal on which they
feed. Circumstanced as they are, they
iUUst be guided toward their object main
ly, if not exclusively, by the sense of
smell but that which excites astonish
ment, is the small degree of odor which
seems to suffice for the purpose; the sub
tHy and rapidity with which jt traverses
and impregnates the air; and the keen'
and quick perception with which it is ta
~®n up by tho organs of those creatures.
The instance of the scavenger beadle has
been alluded to; the promptitude which
they discern the existence v of matter suit
ed to their purposes, and the speed with
which they hurry to it from all directions ;
oftep from distances as extraordinary, pro
portionately, as those traversed by the eye
of the vilture In the instance of the dy
ing elephant referred to above, life was
barely extinct, when the flies, of which
hot one was visible bub a moment before,
arrived in clouds and blackened the body
by their multitude; scarcely an instant
was allowed to elapse from the commence
ment of decomposition ; no odor of putre
faction could be discerned by us who stood
close by ; yet some peculiar smeh of mor
ality, simultaneously with'parting breath,
must have summoned them to the feast.—
Aota exhibit an instinct equally surpri
sjng. I have sometimes covered up a par
ticle of refined sugar with paper in the
centre of a polished table, and counted
the numberpf minutes which would pass
before it was fastened on by the small
black ants of Ceylon, and a line formed to
lower it safely to the floor. Here was a
substance which to our apprehension at
least, v is altogether inodorous, and yet the
quick sense of smell must have been the
only conductor.of the auts.' It has been
observed of those fishes which travehover-
on the evaporation of the ponds in
which they live, that they ihvariably march
in the direction of the nearest water; and
even when captured, and placed on the
floor of a room, their efforts to escape are
always towards tho same point. Is the
sense of smell sufficient to account for
this display in them? or is it aided by
special organs as in the case of the others ?
Tennmt.
Have you ever, asks a correspondent of
the New York Commercial , seen this
tuighty cataract and its surroundings when
the Frost King held sway over them ? If
not you have never yet seen Niagara in
its greatest beauty and marvelousness.—-
From above the great fall, down both
sides of the river to below the ferry, every
tree and shrub is encased in frozen spray
not ice, like frozen water simply, but a
pure, solid, white mass, granular, like fine
marble— the perpendicular cliffs columned
W mighty iciolcs, which apnear like
Vast supports .to these eternal ‘ walls of
stqne. Flashing in the sunlight, the
whole scene as you approach' the river’s
bank dazzles sight and brings to mind all
the,glories ol the fairy scenes whereof we
read in that child’s book of enchantment,
thfe Arabian Nights.” Lupa Island-
Little Luna—from across the stream,
looks, with her stunted cedars weighed
down and covered with this frost work,
like a heard Of white elephants ,•'but when
you go over to it, and walk in under, as
| you oan, you are really in a grotto of dia
monds—the bright sun shining down and
giving an appearanpe of splendor not else
where to bfi found. The eddies have
'clogged and. cemented the cakes of ice
that came down over the falls, and a bridge
is lormed for foot passengers, and seem
ingly strong enough'to bear a horse. Of
this, as there is nothing to. pay 'for cros
sing and looking, (a wonder of the Niaga
ra’s wonder) numbers hourly take advan
tage. Standing on mid river and looking
upward, the scene is- imposingly, grand
ana beautiful/ With a polo I measured
throu h the different fissures to ascertain
the thicknhss of the ipe, : and found it was
nearly fifteen feet. \
. Getting as near mid river as I could, I
“ spread myself,” and stood, oh the water
..with. one foot onQueen Victoria's domic
ions, the other op pair, own. The scene
by. moonlight and ( starlight is equally
beautiful, standipg on the ice, the flash
ing of this water .and th.e brightness reflec
ted from the ice enabled hie to read easily
the, ordinary print of a newspaper. Be
linye pie, Niagara in winter will repay a
journey from the; e*trenrest>polnt of our j
country, and it is surprising that so' few
tahe advantage of the facilities for react
ion it. and witnessing the glorious burst
of radiaocc v?bioh nature at this season

strain: “ Well, we reckon some folks
would really like to know whit we thought
of. Let's see.: In the {first place, we
thought what an absurd idea it is in a man
to ask a lady to kiss him, just as if he,
the senseless being, thought the poor,
trembling little creature was going to do
it. The idea of a man asking for a thino
so easily obtained! Why, it is ridiculous!
and a man with theJeast pprticle of brains
would hoot at the idea. She’d say not,
till doomsday. And you,spoor believer
would forego the happiness of drawing
nectar from the rose-bud mouth, simple

without asking the pleasure. ' Direct her
