On these rolling prairies there are manY.phe

There are here strips of cross timber, ,as they
are teitned, thirty miles apart and from ,ten
to fifteen miles in width, running from Red

miles,. land gradually disappearing Tin

Therelare other Mysteries nOt yet satisfacto
rily sofived. Why .there should ,be large pal
ries of ififty, a hundred, or a Thousand acres,
surrounded with trees on every side s and yet
scarcely a tree groviing on these prair ?
Why the highest grounds should often titn x es
be the Most spongy and wet, why some pra„ ,
ries should be interspersed,here_and there,with
low plittes, asthongh swinehad *allowed there
in a ho , day and bad left'a histing impress of
their bed on the' soil ? -Hence these are term,'
ed hog-wallow , prairi.' Again, some prairies
are formed like waves,of the sea, pre4nting
an appearance like them,.if you .: could imag
ine them oangealed, in a moment; and remain
ing ever after in that *ate. Again, there'are
\ ridges five?fiches higher Than the rest of the
soil,at equal and. regular distances for miles
in length, like rows in cora fields at the South,'
that remain , alter the corn is" gathered.—
Again, in the time of a great drouth, when
there has not been, wyarticle of rain for man/
