Of the many singular characters which we hrtve met with in our various travels, we remember none with more pleasure, and even wonu'er, than the hero of this chap'.tr. Io company with three friends, we were upon a fishing cruise along the northern shore of the river Si. Lswrence, above the Saguenay, and having on a certain .fiernoon ulcered our little craft into a cove at the mouth, of a brook, for the purpose of obtaining fresh wa'er, we ere surprised to find ourselves in tbe immediate neighborhood of a rude but comfortable log cabin. Curiosity led us to visit the cabin, and introduce ourselves to Ihe proprietor. We did so, and were not only warmly welcomed, but were mvhed to tarry until the next day and l-sd we not accepte'J the invitation, the l.iliowing particulars would not now be made known to the public. Tbe person under consideration was a frenchman, a native ol Quebec. He was above the medium height, about forty y.r of age ,pracefu ; hi, rnanur-rs.aclive m mind and body, and altogether jut the character to rivet tbe attention of the most swial observer. He wa wholly ignorant r,ftlie world, having never been out of his "live city, excepting when he took up his bode in this out of the way corner of the rountry, where, at the lima we met with h,m, lie had been secluded for nearly twen y years. He bad a wife (but ao children,) bo was as much like himself in appear ance and character as nature could well ilow her to be. He was totally illiterate, y possessed an atiachm otto the un ritien science of botany which was truly remarkable. His cabin find only two low er rooms and tine genet, an J yet the best or the three was exclusively appropriated to a collection of plants, gathered from the neighboring hills and mountains.and num bering several hundred varieties, together with large moose horns,furt,and other for est curiosities. He knew not the gen. eric name of a single specimen, and yet he would expatiate upon their beauty in the most interesting manner, showing that be loved them with intense affection. To the huuiing and cultivation of plants he told us he was in the habit of devoting more than half hi time, whereupon we asked him from whdl source he obtained his living. He informed us that having inherited the large tract of land upon which he resided, he had come here for the purpose of get ling a living out of that. On casting our eyes about.and finding nothing for them to rest upon but mountains of solid rock. where even pine trees hardly had the cou rage to Crow, wv iho't his reply somewhi mysterious. He smiled at our perplexity, anil then told us that he had two or three profitable salmon fishing grounds, within a mileo! his house, which were rented out to Quebec fishermen, and yielded him all the necessaries of li(e,and that he obtained hia resh meats with hia own hands liotn the forest. Had we been inclined to doubt any of the assertions of our friend in regard to hia good living, all such doubts would have most assuredly dispelled by what we wit nessed and enjoyed before closing our eves on the night in question. Having taken us to the fishing ground lying nearest to his cabin, for the purpose of letting us see ho the salmon were taken in the circular set nets, (into which they swam on their way up stream when the tide was low.) he icked out a splendid twenty pound fish and piloted us back again to his dwelling, He then excused himself from further wailing upon us, and begging us to amuse ourselves by examining his plants, or do- ng anything else we pleased, be informed us that he must assist his wife io preparing our supper. We bowed our most willing eut, an - it ua sm near near his veiling we ascended a neighboring knoll for the purpose of enjoying the extensive project which presented itself to view. W e were looking towards the South, an(1 ,ha, f ,h. . s, . r Lawrence where it is without an island, and its shores are twenty five miles apart. The retinue of clouds around tbe setting sun were brilliant to a marvellous degree, and were distinctly miriored on the tranquil bosom of the superb river. In the distance we could barely discover the southern shore forming a long narrow line of purple; about a dozen miles to Ihe eastward one solitary ship lay floating at the mercy of the tide, and in the foreground was the cabin of our entertainer, partly hidden from our vie by a few stunted trees, and apparently hemmed in by inaccessible mountains, while before tbe cabin lay extended some half-dozen immense mongrel dogs, which were the only living creatures, besides ourselves, tending to animate the lonely scene. Silently communing with our own hearts, we watched with peculiar interest the coming forth, one alter another, of the beautiful stars, and we could not but think ol our distant homes, and of the lies which bound ui to the absent and loved. One moment more, and we heard a loud hillo, which came from the lungs of our Canadi an friend, who informed us that supper was ready, whereupon we descended to tbe ca bin at a puce bordering uwnn a ruo. And such a supper ! Our host presided, and while two of his guests were seated on either side, the hosiess occupied the oppo site end of the table from her husband. She could not speak a word of Englith,and ol'course uttered all her apologies in French; and though the husbnnd pretended to talk E'igliah, we begged him to remember that hw guests all understood French, and tbat he had belter converse as nature dictated. No objections were made, end we proceed ed to business. The table wa literally loaded ; and whilst ihe matron poured out a capital cup of cofior,the host overwhelmed the plates of bis guest with various kinds of meat.most of which were fried or broiled almost to crisp. We gave vent to oar cu riosity by inquiring the names ofthe dish es we were eating. Frcm this sTiomenl.un- til the truly delicious feast was ended, the talking wa all performed by the Canadian botanist, and the substance of hit remarks may be stated as follows "That meat in the blue platter, gentle men, wa cot from the hind quarters of the biggest black bear evei teen among the mjuntaiss. He weighed over four bupd- red pounds, and was as savage as he was fat and big. I was climbing along the edg of a hill, about a week ago.'or the purpose ot securing a small yellow flower thnt had discovered hanging from a rock, when the bear io question came running out of the mouth of his den,and,aluiing me with a long scratch on the back, I gave him a stab in the belly.and tumbled myself down the offset in the most hasty manner imagi nable. I always lake my gun with me when I go into the wuods.and when I m ched tire bottom of the hill 1 looked out for the bear, and, discovering him on a stump aome twenty yards off, I gave him a shot and he made at me, with the fires of re venge and rage in his eye. I climbed up a small tree, and while the rascal made an unsuccessful attempt to follow me, I reload ed my gun and sent another charge direct ly into his moulh, which gave him a bad cough, and in a short time he staggered a few paces from the tree and fell to the ground quite dead. 1 then went back to the cliff to secure my yellow flower, and during that afternoon, by the aid of my po- D)'f dragged the bear to my cabin. "Jo that dish, with a piece broken from the edge, gentlemen, you have a mixture of moose tongue,moose tip and moose brain. I spent nearly a month moose hunting, l gt winter, in company with a couple of Indi ans, and though Ihe snow was deep, the crust hard, our snow-shoes in good order, our dogs brave and strong, and moose were numerous, we only killed about sixteen. I only brought home the heads, (while the Indians were satisfied with the skins and haunches.) but I was more than paid for all my trouble, in the way of hard travel ing and cold sleeping, for in one of the moose-yards tbat we visited I fouod a spe cies of pine which I had never seen before. It was very soft, and I think the book men of England would give a good deal of money if they could have it in their great gardens. "As to that meal in the while dish, which all seem to relish, I think you will be sur. prised to learn that it ia nothing but tra cer's tail. To my taste it m tha swee'est meat in the world, and I am only sorry that this valuable animal is becoming so very scarce in tbia section of the country My present stock of beaver's tail came from the shore of Hudson's Bay, end though I bought it of an Indian, I had to pay as much for the tails as the fur companies paid him for the skins of hi animils. I never trapped for beaver myself.but I have for otter, and often have great sport in kil ling seals, which are very abundant io the St. Lawrence, and afford to, Ibe Indians pretty good lood during tbe hard winter. The only ihing I have against the beaver is.thathebas a fashion, lam told, of cutting down for his house auch beautiful tree the mulberry, birch, willow and poplar, be fore they are halt' grown. "As to the salmon upon which you have bee u feasting.gentlemen,yoj know as much about tbat particular individual as I do, since you saw him while yet in his native element. The men who hire my fishing ground pay me ao much for every fUli they take.and sell them at a great profit in Quebec and even in Montreal. From the fisheries on this shore are the people of Canada exclusively supported with Ihe salmon, and when we have a good season our merchants manage to tend over to the United States, in a smoked condition, a good many thousand. As to taking them with those pretty little flies,which youen- tlemen.alway carry in our pocket-books, I never could understand how you can manage to deceive to seusiWe a ti n as the salmon. Of one thing I am certain : if you expect to take any of Ihe salmon ol this region with those little hooks and hues, you are much mistaken. You will have to go down to the Saguenay, where I am told the fish do not know any better then to be deceived by your cunning arts, out, if I was ever to follow nsntng as you d9, it seems to me that instead of red, yellow, and blue feathers, I should co ver my hooks with the bright berries and buds which you may find upon some trees even duiing tbe fishing season.'' This last remark of our host convinced us that he waa indeed possessed with a ru ling passion, and we of course gratified ourselvea by humoring htm to the length of our patience. lie not only moaopolned the conversation during supper, but he did most of the talking until bed time. We spent the aight under hia roof, sleeping up on bear skins, apread en the floor : and. after an early breakfast, we bade him adieu, and pursued our course down the St. Lawrence.

Equality without,exctusivenes within- such seem to bs the contracts of American life. The professional man may be on the very best of terms with the blacksmith, bit ten chances lo one if the daughters of the professional man know the blacksmith's daughters, or if they would acknowledge it if they did. In-door life in America is fenced around by as many lines as social life in Europe. There is not a community there, any more thin here, but has its fash' ionable quarter and its fashionable circle This may be all very natural, but it is Dot in conformity with the general aspect of their national social life, thai they carry with them into these coteries all theexclus iveness of feeling which forms so marked a feature in the social fabric of the old orld. In a widely extended country, like the transatlantic republic, and a widely scattered community, like that which peo ples it, is to be expected that them feelings would manifest themselves, in different pla ces, in different degree. In some, how ever, they assume a form quite as invele- rate as they do with ouwaelves ; and young ladies ,uro del.ra'e but saucy no8e " lmre ,da ol ,n ciuaintance ship with. those, with whose fathers or brothers their own fathers or brothers may be on terms of the most perfect familiarity.

"Never Say Die" It would be difficult to name many kinds 0r business, yielding a rich harvest of pro fit to the proprietors, which were not com menced under heavy disadvantages, and pursued for many year in the face of frowning discouragement. For the first few years, in any new enterprise, all is uphill work tugging against the stream and one has rarely wind or tide in his fa vor. But if he breasts and ' buflet the wave with lusty ai.tews'' if be heroical ly resolves never to give up, and steins the tide with "a heart of controversy" the desired haven will heave in sight at last. There is nothinz like a stubborn, doeced will, in these thing the resolution "nev- er to submit or yield ;" it works literacies, and the stoutest obstacle become as cobweb barriers before its all-potent energy. In short, as an able writer has aaid, hardly any difficulty could be cited, to which ihis philosophy is not applicable ; and every one will find, if he tries, that, be it through the brakes of entangling and bewildering passions, be it over the wide and unmarked moor of uncertainty, be it through the slough of despond itttlf, " whenever there is a v. in, there is a way.", The grand defect in many, however, is that they have not the patience to stick to an unpromising enterprise, many years ; but, usually, just as they are on the eve of reaching the turning point -Ihe critical moment when, by a little extra exertion, their long and thankless efforts would be crowned with the most triumphant success just then they get ItrtJ out, relax tl.eir labors.and the whole enterprise is swamped past redemption Yankee Made.

This highly respectable venerable, the Potato, being now, it is hoped, th iroahly re-established in health, it was determined by a few leading members of the vegetable? kingdom to offer a banquet to ;1 e worthy and convalescent root mi in happy re-rov-ery. The arrangement for lite d-uoer were on a seafe of gmit liberality, sod th guests included il lle principal ve-geiables. The invitations had Uo c "tried out by ai efficient corps of S t R ji ", and lfe Onion occupied the chair, lie a sup ported on his rght by the head of tbe As paragus family, while Salad occunied the biwl at the end of Ihe table, and waa dressed in his usual mariner. 1 he Pota to, though just out of hit trft, was lookieo i remarkably well, aal wore l .s jacket. there being nothing lo mark his retvnt ill ness.eicept perhaps) a little apparent black ness round one of his eyes.

They had sometimes braved to gether the asase broils, and bid found hemsclves often together in such a s'ew (he alluded lo the Irish iew) as bad bro ht them, for the time being, into an alliance of the very cl . sent kind. He. he Ootoo, II? was delighted to see the Po'ato once snore restored to his place in society, for he, ihe Inioo could say, wiihout flaurry, that so - eLlw I is.

Tbe Onion had, in fact, affected many of ihoae present to tears.and Ihe Celery .who eat next 14 the Horseradiih, hung down his head in an agony of sensi bility. When the cheering bid partially subsided, the Potato rose, but that was on ly a signal for more enthusiasm; and if wa some minutes before silence was restored. At length the Potato proceeded nearly as follows : "Friends and Fellow-vegetables It is with difficulty I express the feelioars with which I have come here to-day. Hiving suffered for Ihe last three or four vears from a grevious d.sease, which seemed to threaten me with total dso!utiin,it ia with intense satisfaction I find myself once more among you in the vigor of health.
