We are not aware .(says the St. Louis Re publican,)•that there is any Ride between the bite of a rattlesnake and the feeling that prompts man to "woo and wed." The venom of the serpent, we should hardly think, would suggest the sentiment of love, yet it may be traced to that fatal fascination which this iden tical animal had over our great grandame, Eve, under whose tempting influence she bit -The fruit Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste . Brought death into the. world, and all our woe, With loss of Eden," &c. Be that as it may, our speculations stop here, and we leave more competent perso'ns to trace the singular divination that, in the first creation of the world, existed between the ser pent and the. woman, and come to an instance in our own day and generation, When the same potent influence has been illustrated between a rattlesnake and a man. The great difference between the serpent that. Moses wrote of and the beast we have to record is, that the former fascinated by its speech, while the rattlesnake we write of in spired by its deadly langs. We were sitting day before yesterday in the office of the Clerk of the County Court, when a man came limp ing in, whose entire "toggery" plainly indi cated that he was from the "rural districts." llrs foot was bound up with many cloths, and looked, so huge were its proportions, like the inverted end 'of a hominy mortar. As soon as • H • # _ ,. n e-remark "Gentlemen, I have been bit by a rattler e nake." An involuntary shudder passed through the whole crowd ; but he resumed— " 'Taint much the matter now—'twas orful ly swelled at first—in fact so big I couldn't {fit it into a horse trough." We looked at his huge pedal extremity, and fancied it resembled the base of one of the lars of the Court House. "But," said he, -I got it in a good cause. I. was out in the prairie in the Eelinoy, with the splendidest specimen of a Sucker gal that ever milked a cow or waded Cahokia. She is a screamer, and no mistake, and as fitt as any heifer you ever saw in a pastel., Presently I heard a noise, and I know 'd that noise as soon as I heard it, too. Says I, •Betsy, stand back till I brain that infernal varmint.' She know'd what it was, too, and didn't stop to al: nu questions, 'cause she was harefOoted. I don't know how it was, gentlemen, but I got the hei (nes. and determined to immortalize myself right that. in Betsy's presence, by pinning that rattlesnake's head, with the heel of my bout, into the rich site of Etlinoy. 3 draw'd a sight on him, with his Turkey tongue lickin' out of his nouth, and the rattles on his tail shiverin' like a gourd full of beans with the agy. and shot my right foot at its head ; but it snapped —miss6d the mark—and my old brogan went plump within six inches of his head. Them sort of snakes ain't idle--they're hair trigger animals, and go off instanter : so, heiore could draw my foot, he whacked it right into My little toe, through The cowhide boot. twice. thundit stung, and I know 'd if soine thin' wa,n'tWne, I would soot' be a funeral.- ••lietsy saw it in an instant, and sanl,•Jahc. are you it'6• •Ain't I though,' says 1, an: blossoming for the tomb d—d fast.'

The latter, howeve'r, told him it was out of his power, but directed hint to the ()Mee of Squire Wait. He looked some what disappointed, hut started off. We felt sons euriosity to learn the denoue ment of this transaction, and repaired to the office of the Squire, Where the following collo quy took place : Jake--Squire, I've been bit by a rattle . - snake." Squire= "Sorry to hear it ; but I'm no doe- Jake—" That's nother here nor thar. 11 ant to get married." Squire—"_lh' (with an eye to buAiness) that's a deerent thing." Jake—" Wall, Squire, I want you to join. Betsy and me. What do you charge ?" Squire—" Well, as you have been bit by a rattlesnake, put it, low—say, two dollars and a half." Jake--•'Whew ! I can get the thing done for fifty cents in' Belleville, only I thought That we Would sorter like to have it done up hi city style." He started for the door,' and after making a few steps, turned around and said "I say, Squire, let's split. I'll give you a quarter. But reeciving no encouragement, he limped slowly on, ejaculating that this was "the most extravagant town" he ever saw. Should any'doubt the truth of this narrative, we can refer them to several gentlemen who were present. ' OLD —The history of this psalm tune, which almost everybody has been awls towed to hear, ever since they can remember, is the subject of a work recently written by an English clergyman. Martin Luther has generally been recoiled the author . of "Old Hundred," but it has been discovered that it was composed in the 16th century, by William Franc, a German. In the course of time, it has been considerably changed from the origi nal; and it is said. that, as it first appeared, it was of a more lively character than at present. THE FASTEST YET.-A party of railroad en gineers, at Utica. N. V., were, recently, boast ing of the rate at which they had run their re spective locomotives. and some of these yarns had been uncommonly tough, when a quiet in• dividull, who hail listened with a great deal of attention, without saying anything, '•took, the hat" with the following specimen of fast running: "Why, gentlemen," said he, "the last time- I run the Blowhard from Syracuse, we went so fast that the telegraph poles on the track looked like afine toullt-conib."- A Dram' Arrr•:AL.—The Albany (N. Y.) State Register says that the spirit of Hiridoo ism "appeals directly to the hearts of the peo• p!e." To which the Knickerbocker, of the same city, replies—"lt does indeed. But we regret to say the 'appeal' is commonlymade with a, bowie knife. For further particulars, read the Louisville massacre." W. C. Bryant, the poet, in writing from the East, says that the Mohamedans are fast becoming Europeanized. They ale becoming careless of the marriage vow, heat their wives. bruise their children, associate with infidels. and in fact are getting to be almost like Chris tians ! T 7 Down east somewhere, a' pious old lady was summoned as a witness in an iniptirtant case. Being told that she must '•swear," the poor woman was - filled with horror at the thought. After much persuasion she yielded, and exclaimed : -Well, if I must, I must.— Dam !" The Court adjourned immediately. 'Speaking of double blessedness, did ever any one hear anything so utterly audacious as, ''sehe me t. - • rize a -rnariiae.ible young- woman — and - 20, - ; MO dollars ?" Every girl, with a handsome dower, is a prize to the man who wins her, and marriage is in some sort a lottery. But the idea of a young lady being willing to take any one - of forty thousand tickct•holdcrs for better or worse, is, as Dominic Sampson says, “pro digiousl"—BuTho's witty gentleman of this city, speaking of a friend who was prostrated by illnem, re marked that "he could hardly recover, since his constitution was all gone."

America—lts Age and Antiquities. , The only knowledge which the present can obtain of the past, anterior to written history, must be.gathered- from the lessons taught by the monuments that have survived the devasta ting wars of ignorant and infuriated men, the crash_of the elements, and the slow corroding power of untold time. The two continents of this Western Hemisphere abound with these I mute, enduring records. The labors Of the an tiquarian in Asia, Africa and - Europe, lete disclosed monuments of art, now in ruins, that were reared by a people whose history has passed down to us in written records. With the general history of the Assyrians, the Is raelites, 'the Egyptians, the Carthagenians, the theeks and the - Romans, we are already ac quainted, and all the discoveries made by an tiquarians in their researches in those coun tries, among the ruins of ancient palaces, tem ples and cities, serve but to illuminate some portions of written history that are now-dark, or illustrate others that are imperfectly detail ed. But such is not the ease in America. The antiquities ,of America extend from the _shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and fiont the great lakes and British Provinces to Peru and Brazil, in South America. These ruins are not illustrated, nor even alluded to, by any written history. Their origin is lost to view behind the impenetrable veil" imposed by unnumbered cycles of unchronieled centur ies.. Immense forests growing oyez the ruins of large cities, and . the gigantic size of the trees, with indications that other generations of trees sprung up and grew and decayed be fore them, prove that these ruins preceded the Christian Era. Neither history nor tradition indicate the origin or the rise of those vast mounds that are scattered over the North Amer ican continent. They stand in silent grandeur, monuments of a race of people who have long since passed away, leaving no other trace of their existence. It is fashionable to speak, of the Eastern Continent as the Old World, yet it is not known to be entitled to this appellation., Who can say that the Andes and the Sierra Nevada arc not the seniors of the Alps and the Himalaya ? Who is prepared to prove that the ruins of Usmal and. Palenque, and the pyra nods of Uholula, in Mexico, do not take the precedence in age of the spinxes and pyramids of Egypt, and the winged lions of Assyria History traces the rise and fall of Nineveh, of Babylon, and of Thebes ; but we have no re do,:d of' the rise. progress or fall of those great cities in Central America, which the laborious researches of Stevens and Catherwood brought to light. The Iman-faced bulls and the winged lions of Ninev7h find no equivalents in the grotesque carving in stone of hideous forms of men and animals. Who can say that these rude sculptures - of America did not precede those of Asia ? But we will not speculate on a subject that offers no basis on which even ,a plausible argument can be erected. The ex istence of numerous and 'immense ruins in America of what were once large cities a fix ed fact, and we must be content to remain in utter ignorance of the epoch in which they flourished. The most extensive of these ruins are to be found at I;xtntif and Palenque, in the southeastern part of Mexico. At Uxumal are immense pyramids, coated with stone, and quadrangular stone edifices and terraces. The highest of these pyramids is one hundred and thirty feet, and on the_ summit it supports a temple ; on one of the facades of the temple are figures cut in stone with great exactness mud elegance. The hands are crossed upon the breast, the head is covered in something like a helmet, about the neck is n garment of the skin of au s alligator, and over, each body is a figure of death's head and boneS. At Palenque are immense ruins—a city of great extent, with the remains of a royal palace. One temple, that of Copan, was 520 feet by GGp, and is supposed to have been as large as St. Peter's at Rome. 'Another temple of great dimensiens is here, having an..entrance by a portico 100 feet long and lu feet broad ; it stands on an elevation of GO feet. The pillars of the portico are adorned with hieroglyphics and other devices. Different objects of worship have been tumid, represen tations of the gods who were worshipped in this country. These temples, with fourteen i rg..-atel-man-y-other-objects-o riosity,, stand as montafienta of ancient great ness, to"rcmind us of the remote origin of a mighty Empire. Tina city has been described as the Thebes of America, and travellers have supposed that it must have been sixty miles in circumference, and contained a population of 3,000.000 souls. The pyramid of Uholula iu Mexico, is described as covering forty-four acres of ground. On its summit was a temple, and in the interior has been discovered a vault, roofed with beams of wood, containing skele tons and idols. Several smaller pyramids sur round this large one. It appears to have been formed by cutting-a hill into an artificial shape. Its dimensions are immense, being nearly three miles in ciicumference and about, four hundred feet It is divided into terraces and slopes, covered with platforms, stages and bas tions, elevated one above the other, and form ed of large stones skilfully cut, and jai l ed with out any cement. In some respects the style of the architecture resembles the Gothic, being massive and durable ; in others it resembles the Egyptian ; yet the general coustrnetiva, manner and style L.lf its mehttucture are dilli:r ent from anything hitherto described in the world.—l aiiimeille Journal.

We recently heard from the lips of one of the Board of Visitors at West Point, a fact which illustrates the remarkable proficiency of the of , the institution, not only in their stu dies, but in the practical part of military duty. The annual examination this year lasted for seventeen days, and it is customary at the close of each day for the students to give a practical 111mA - ration of the science apon which they have been - examined. Thus- when -the examination of the day was upon gunnery, there would be practice with the.guns at the close; military movements would be illustrated by the cadets acting as a corps, and the art of horsemanship would be practically exonidificd by exercises in the riding school, On one day there had been examinations in engineering and road building, and the *Board of Visitors were invited to proceed to the river at half-past live in the afternoon, to witness a practical illustration of the examination. At the word of command the cadets proceeded to construct a bridge from timbers prepared for the pur pose; and in twenty-four minutes a bridge one. hunched and fifty feet lung, extending into the Hudson. and resting on pontoons, where the water was deep, lied been put. together, and made passable for artillery and'troops. The cadets were then required to take up the bridge. The bridge was taken down, and the various timbers of which it was composed piled in an orderly manner, so as to be ready to be put up again in an equally short space of time. This was accomplished in exactly nine minula - I:pan ilulunrr it was ascertained that the bridge upon this occasion was one which was in the train of General - Scott, in his colebrkted march to the city of Mexico.—Bustun Journal.

The Cincinnati Society was not political at al., nor .was it a secret organization. It was formed by the officers of the revolutionary army, to per-, petuate their long•cherished• friendship and social intercourse, and , that they might at. reg ular annual periods, communicate with cacti other, and revive a recollection of the friendly bonds by which they were connected.

A week ego, I was induced to join the Know Nothing Council. When I went in. I was ask ed "Where I was born and whether I was of )_ " • it•vii. degree7 - and - the - obligationr - to - Note -- or give my influence for any man for any office in the gift of the people, toilesa he be an Ameri can born citizen, in favour of Americans ruling America, nor it he be a Itotnan Catholic," but all was done with the' understanding, that was to be allowed to inquire further as to the aims and objects of the Order. The initiation was so repugnant to my judgment, that, night before last, Itook the Constitution of the United States into the Council with me. I there told them, their oaths and proceedings were con trary to that Constitution. They said to me 46t/ie eowititutionforined by GEN. W.iiSHING. TON has been destroyed, but WE are g,oing to restore it." I said, I believed the one I had was, genuine, for it was signed with his name. and argued with them the illegality and ticonsti tutiontlity of their oaths, and told them I did n't, believe they had ever seen the Conatitutimi, and then. ,read the article -THERE SHALL BE No RELIGIOUS TEST," but they tried to stop it, saying, I had no right to discuss any such questions there. I told theta I would publish their proceedings to the world: and they declared, I would have the dark and - blighting stain of purjury resting on my soul but if I would apply in person, at the proper time and, place ,I should have an honorable discharge, when 1 declared, "Gentlemen, not ono step shall I take towards your black and horrid den of L'onspit eters. I don't want your discharge : I will discharge myself." Upon that propostog to me the obligation of the se:tttl degree, by which I was to be bound to obey rill signals or. cries of , the Order;. and when signs of danger were gtven TO GO -ARMED to Me place dcsig. noted, I at, once refused - to proceed. anddeelar ed my determination, which I now fulfil, to publish and reveal the whole of their terrible proceedings : for as I told them, I could have nothing to do with agreement, which might force me even to plunge a dagger to the heart, of my neighbour, anal he unsuspecting at. Alt I can, and ought to do, is to expose IL I:be lieve such an oath as I took, is not, and should not be binding and it is my duty as a good citizen, a law abiding God 11:ariog man, to cast it aside. Such an illegal, sacreligions and itn- moral obligation, which conflict's with my du ty as a christian and citizen, to my - God--and to my Country, and my fellow men, r think must he more sinful to keep than to triamp&O under foot, and despise, as I do thjsl,:iiidjsay to all Demoel ats. all Whigs and Iol.ltaid:alit,zn, keep yulireives cled - rfroiu the entangled:it/Mg 1.1117, cvarful conspiracy.
