Prom the Kentucky Statesman. John James Audubon. BY PARKE GOOD WIS. "Tnat cheerful on who knoweth 11 The songs of all the winged choristers. And in tue sequence of melodious sound, Pours their music." Somtktu's tiadoc in AzaUatn lüTBODUCTIOS. A few years ajro Ihere arrived at tbe hotel, erected near the Niagara Falls, an odd looking man, whose appearance was quite in contrast with that of the crowds of well-dressed and polished figures which adorned that celebrated resort. He seemed just to have sprung from the weeds. His dress, which was made of leather, stood dreadfully in need of repair, apparently not having felt the touch of either laundress or needle woman for many a long month. A worn-out blanket that might have served for a bed was buckled to his shoulders; a large knife hung on one side, balanced a rusty tin box on the other, and bis beard, uncropped, tangled, and coarse, fell down upon his bosom, as if to counterpoise the weight of black hair-locks, that supported themselves upon his back and shoulders. This strange being, to the specstators seemingly half civilized and half savage, had a quick glancing eye, an elastic firm movement, and a sharp nice, thai seemed able to cut its way through the cane breaks, both of society and of the wilderHe pushed his steps into the sitting-room, unstrapped his Utile burden, quietly looked around for the landlord, and then modestly asked for breakfast. The host first drew back with evident repugnance at the apparition which thus proposed to intrude its uncouth among the genteel visitors, but a word whispered in his ear speedily satisfied his doubts. The stranger took hi place "among the company, some staring, some shrugging, and some laughing outright. Yet it has turned out, that that there was more in that single man than in all the rest of the throng; he called himself an American back-woodsman; he was a true genuine on of nature, yet one who had been entertained with distinction at the tables of princes; learned societies, to which the like of Cuvier belonged, had been proud to welcome his entrance ; in short, he wa j one whose fame had been growing brighter, while the fashionables who laughed at him, and many much greater than they, have utterly perished. From every hill lop, and every deep shadv grove, the birds, those "living blossms of the air,'' will sing his name. The little wren will pipe it with her matin hymn about our houses; the oriole carol it from the slender grasses of the meadows; the turtle dove roll it through the secret forests; the many voiced mocking-bird pour it along the evening air; and the imperial, the bird of Washington, as he sits in his craggy home, far up thejblue mountains, will scream it to the tempests and the stars. He was John James Audubon, the Ornitnologist. HIS EARLY TASTES. We do not propose to write the biography of Mr. Audubon. He has prepared an autobiography, which will soon be published, now that he is dead. We wish only Id present some phases of his singular and estimable character, as nearly as we can, in his own words. Fortunately , he was of a communicative disposition, and we shall not be compelltd to wander far for our materials. Those delightful interludes of description and adventure, woven into the woof of bis equally delightful sketches of birds, are full of suggestions for us- Be that as it may, we are certain that a great deal of what we shall say and extract will be new to the multitude of ordinary readers. Mr. Audubon was born about 1775, in the State of Louisiana, not Pennsylvania, as has been many times stated. His parents, who were French, were of that happy nature which disposed them to encourage the early indications of talent in the minds of their children. They soon perceived in the subject of these remarks that love of the woods and fields, which has since made him conspicuous as a naturalist among men. "When I had hardly learned to walk," says he, in the preface to the first volume of his O.nithology, "and to articulate those first words always so endearing to parents, the productions of nature that lay spread all around, were constantly pointed out to me. They soon became my playmates; and before my ideas were sufficiently formed to enable me to estimate the difference between the azure tints of the sky and the emerald hue of the bright foliage, I felt that an intimacy with them, not consisting of friendship merely, but bordering on frenzy, must accom pany my steps through life: and now, more than ever, am I persuaded of the power of those early impressions. They laid such a hold of me, that when removed from the woo ls, the prairies, and the brooks, or shut up from the view of the wide Atlantic I experienced none of those pleasures most congenial to my mind. None but aerial companions suited my fancy. No roof seemed so secure to me as that formed of the dense foliage under which the feathered tribe were seen to resort, or the caves and fissures of the mossy rocks, to which the dark-winged cormorant and the curlew retired to rest, or to protect themselves from the fury of the tempest. My father generally accompanied my steps; procured birds and flowers for me with great eagerness; pointed out the elegant movements of the former the beauty and softness of their plumage the manifestations of their pleasure or sense of danger and the always perfect forms and splendid attire of the latter. My valued preceptor would then speak df the departure and return of birds with the seasons; would describe their haunts, and more wonderful than all, their change of livery; thus exciting me to study them, and to raise my mind towards their great Creator. A vivid pleasure shone upon t!ioe days of my early vouth, attended with a calmness of feeling that seldom failed to rivet my attention for hours, while I gazed in ecstacy upon the pearly and shining eggs, as they lay embedded in the soft nest of down, or among dried leaves and twiggs, or were exposed upon the burning sand, or weather beaten rock of our Atlantic shore. I was taught to look upon them as flowers yet in the bud. I watched their opening to see how nature had provided each different species with eyes, either open at birth, or closed for some time after ; to trace the slow progress of the young birds towards perfection, or admire the celerity with which some of them, while yet unfledged, removed themselves from danger to security." Nor did the taste thus early implanted in the mind of the young enthusiast desert him in mature years. "The foonding cstsrsct Haunted him. '.ike s pas-don; the tsll rock. The mountain, sod tbe deep snd gloomy wood. Their color snd their forms, were then to him An appetite; a feeling and a love That had no need of a remoter charm. By taought supplied, or sny interest Unborrowed fr-im the eye." I grew up," he continues, "and my wishes grew with my fo-m. These wishes were for the entire possession of all that I saw. I was frequently desirous of becoming acquainted with nature. For many years, however, I was sadly disappointed, and for ever, doubtles., must I liave desires that cannot be gratified. The moment a bird was dead, no matter how beautiful it had been when in life, the pleasure arising from the possession of it became blunted ; and although the greatest care was bestowed in endeavors to preserve the appearance of nature; I looked upon its vesture as more than sullied, as requiring constant attentions and repeated mendings, while, after all, it could no longer be said to be fresh from tbe hands of its Maker. I wished to possess all the productions of nature, but I wished life with them. This was impossible. Then, what was to be done.' I turned to my father, and made known to him my disappointment and anxiety. He produced a book of fllaitrations. A new life ran in my veins. 1 turned over the leaves with avidity, and although what I saw was not what I longed tor, it gave me a desire to copy nature. To nature I went, and tried to imitate her, as in the days of my childhood I tried to raise my self from the ground and stand erect, before time had imparted the vigor necessary for the success of such an undertaking. How sorely disappointed did I feel for many years, when I saw that my productions were worse than those which I ventured (perhaps in silence) to regard as bad in the book given me by my father. My pencil gave birth to a family of cripples. So maimed were most of them, that they resembled the mangled corpses on a field of battle, compared with the integrity of living men. These difficulties and disappointments1 irritated me, but never for a moment destroyed the desire of obtaining perfect representations of nature. The worse mv drawings were, the more beautiful did I

see the originals. To have been torn from the study, would have been as death to me. My time was entirely occupied with it. I produced hundreds of these rude sketches annually, tor a long time, at my request, they made bonfires on the anniversary of my birth-day.

HIS YOUTH AND MANHOOD. In his sixteenth year, that is, about 1791, he went to France to pursue his education. He received lessons in drawing from the celebrated David. But the "eyes and noses of giants, and the heads of horses represented in ancient sculpture," were not the themes he would be at; and although he prosecuted his studies sedously, his heart still panted for the sparkling streams and interminable forests, for his "native land of groves." He returned home the following year, with a kindled ardor for the woods, and commenced a collection of designs, destined shortly to swell into that magnificent series of volumes which the world has applauded as the "Birds of America." They were begun on a beautiful plantation which his father had given him, situated on the banks of the Schuvlkill, and near a creek known as the Perkioming. There, amid its fine woodlands, its extensive fields, its hills crowned with evergreens, he meditated his simple and agreeable objects, and pursued his rambles from the first faint streaks of day until late in the evening, wet with dew, and laden with feathered captives, lie returned to the quiet enjoyment of the fireside. Yet the passion for birds did not seem to seal his heart to the influence of a still more tender and exalted passion. He married, and was fortunate in marrying a lady w ho in vicissitude has animated his courage, and in prosperity appreciated the grounds and measures of his success. "But who cares," says he, speaking of the event, "to listen to the love tales of a naturalist, whose feelings may be supposed to be as light as the feathers of the birds he delineates." For many years the necessities of life drove him into commercial enterprises, which involved him in a series of calamities. His mind was so filled with nature that all his speculations proved unprofitable. From observation and study only could he derive gratification. He was compelled to struggle against the wishes of his friends except of his wife and children, to their lasting honor be it said who strove to wean him from pursuits which, in the world's eye are so barren and unproductive. But their importunities had an effect directly contrary to what they intended, irritated beyond endurance, he broke at last through all bonds, and gave himself up entirely to his favorite pursuits. He undertook Jong and tedious journeys; ransacked the woods, the lakes, the prairies, aud the shores, of the Atlantic; he spent years away from his family. "Yet, will you believe it," says he, ''1 lad no other object in view than simply to enjoy the sight of nature. Never for a moment did 1 conceive the hope of becoming in any degree, useful to my kind, until I accidentally formed an acquaintance wilh the Prince of Musignano, (Lucien Bonaparte) at Philadelphia, to which place 1 had gone with a view of proceeding eastward along the coast." This was the 5th of April, 1824. GOES TO THE WEST. But of his public labors we shall speak a word in the sequel. Let us, for the present, follow him in his solitary wanderings. Having lived on his beautiful plantation for ten years, he was induced to remove to the West. With a mattrass, a few prepared viands, and two negroes to assist him in the toils ot emigration, he departed, accompanied by his wife and child, for a residence which he had procured for . him in the village of Henderson, Kentucky. The method of traveling at that day, which he has faithfully described, furnishes a striking contrast with ! the more easy and expeditious modes of modern conveyance. It was in the month of October that the small party set out. The autumnal tin's already decorated the shores of that Queen of rivers, the Ohio, along which they rowed their feeble skiff. Every tree was hung with long and flowing festoons, of different species of vines, many loaded with clustered fruits of varied brilliancy, the rich carmine mingling beautifully with the yellow foliage, which yet predominated over the green leaves, reflecting more lively tints from the clear stream than ever landscape painter painted or poet imagined. The sun had assumed the rich and glowing hue, which at that season produces the Indian Summer. They glided down the river, meeting no other ripple of the water than that formed by the propulsion of the boat. Now , and then a large catfish rose to the surface, in pursuit of a shoal of fry, which started simultaneously from the liquid element, like so many silvery arrows, scattered a shower of light, while the pursuer, with open jaws, seized the stragglers, and with a splash ol his tail, disappeared from view. At night, the tinkling of bells along the shore told them that cattle were gently roving from valley to valley in search of food, or distant homes. The hooting of the great owl or the mutTled noise of its wings, as it sailed ' smoothly over the stream, were matters of interest to them; and so was the sound of the boatman's horn, as it came winding more and more softly from afar. When daylight returned, many songsters burst forth with echoing notes, more and more mellow to the i listning ear. CHANGES SINCE Til EX . "When I think of these times," says Mr. Audubon, at the close of the account of his journey, "and call back to my mind the grandeur and beauty of those almost uninhabited shores; when I picture to myself the dense and lofty summits of the forests, that everywhere spread along the hills and overhung the margins of the streams, unmolested by the axe of the settler; when I know how dearly purchased the safe navigation of that river has been by the blood of many worthy Virginians; when I see that no longer any aborigmese are to be found there, and that the vast herds of elks, deer, and buffaloes, which once pastured on those hills and in those valleys, making to themselves great roads to the several n It-springs, have ceased to exist; when 1 reflect that all this grand portion of our Union, instead of being in a state of nature, is now covered with villages, farms, and towns, where the din of hammers ami machinery is constantly heard; that the woods are fast disappearing under the axe by day, and the fire by night; that hundreds of steamboats are gliding to and Iro over the whole length of that majestic river, forcing commerce to take root and prosper at every spot; when I see the surplus population of Europe coming to assist in the destruction of the forest, and transplanting civilization into its darkest recesses; when I remember that these extraordinary changes have all taken place in the -hort period of twenty years, I pause wonder and, although I know all to be the fact, can scarcely bel.eve its reality." His new domicil at Henderson gave him ample opportunities for the prosecution of his ornithological inquiries. He was accustomed to make long excursions through all the neighboring country, scouring the fields and the woods, and fording the lakes and rivers. We think we can see him now, setting out early in the morning, with no companion but his dog and gun; the faithful tin box, containing his pencils and colors, slung to his side; now popping down the unconscious warbler that makes the air vocal from some neighboring tree ; now hastening to the broad shelter of a venerable oak, to describe the form and paint the variegated plumage of his victim; now crouching for hours under some withered trunk, to observe the habits of some shy and timid bird; now climbing the jagged side of a rocky precipice, to find the nest eggs of the eagle, that screams and flutters upon the dry top of the storm-blasted beech still higher up; now treading upon the head of the serpent that hisses among the thick leaves of the copse now starting the bear and the cougar from their secret lairs in the fastnesses; now cleaving, with lusty sinew his gun and apparatus fastened above his head, the troubled waters of a swoll enstream ; now wandering for days through the illimitable and pathless thickets of the cane-brake ; at night sleeping upon the hard ground, or across the branches of trees, and by day almost perishing with thirst; and now hailing with pleasure, at sun-set, the distant but cheerful glimmer of the lonely log-cabin fire, to bc cortimcbb.

From the Dollar Newspaper. Zac. Weser Or, the Scales Balanced. BT LORENZO MERRILL. Zac Messer was one of your tall, raw-boned, lantern-jawed, good natured specimens of humanity, hailing from the vicinity of the White Mountains, in the old granite State His countenance indicated hard times, bearing the impress of want upon every lineament. One might have been guaranteed in the supposition that he never experienced the felicity of partaking of a full and comfortable meal of victuals in bis iife. Such an influence, however, would have have been very wide of the mark; for Zac. was the exact personification of Pharoah's lean kine, devouring all that came in his way. His appetite increased with his years, and it was his delight to cultivate the talent on all possible occasions. As an instance of this, it is stated that the commanding officer of the militia in that quarter gave an entertainment to the soldiers under his jurisdiction, at which, of course Zac was a prominent guest, and partook so bountifully of the "fatted calf" prepared for the occasion, that the old cow, its mother, followed him for three miles on his way home, lowing most piteouslv all the while. The neighbors relate, with

how much truth I know not, that his lather died ol a broken-heart from having inadvertantly discovered that his year's stock of provisions had been consumed by his voracious offspring during a few week 's absence. At any rate, Messer became a" great a burthen upon the district from which he drew his supplies, as was the renowned Gulliver upon the famous Lilliputians. Occasionally he made excursions into the adjoining counties a? an itinerant clock cleaner, until his presence, in any particular locality, presaged a famine and caused the utmost consternation among landlords and other victuallers. It is worthy of remark, that our hero gave such satisfaction in his vocation that a clock of hu tinkering never needed any further repairs; a facl on which he prided himself not a little, especially as his charges were low, being only fifty cents for time-piece and board. In process of time, however, as may have been inferred Messer's business declined. In short his occupation was as completely gone as was that of the colored gentleman's mentioned by Shakespeare. In this exigency he emigrated to Boston and found employ in driving a truck for a large firm in that city. It was while engaged in this capacity, that Mr. Smith, a retailer of dry goods and other notions in the place where Messer was born and brought up, came to town for the purpose of making some additions to his stock in trade. Smith happened to be somewhat out of health, and having a violent headache, stepped into a hotel and ordered a cup of tea and a cracker, which were promptly forthcoming by direction of the landlady. Having drank the tea, he repaired to the bar and politely inquired the amount of his bill. Only half a dollar was demanded, to which Smith gently remonstrated, inasmuch as no expense had been incurred on the score of provision, but he was cut short by the host, who graciously informed him that "a dinner was a dinner," and that he could have partaken of any amount of eatables, bad he seen proper to have called for the same. The dimes were handed over without further remonstrance but it mud be confessed Mr. Smith felt that injustice had been done him, and although a firm believer in future punishment, yet it pleased him exceedingly to see the wicked visited by a portion, at least, of the consequences of their misdeeds in this world, as an earnest, probablv, of what was to come in the next. In this view of the, case, he inquired with great suavity, if nine dinners could be furnished for some friends of his, at a particular hour on the ensuing day. An affirmative answer was returned, for in truth the landlord considered the furnishing of nine dinners to such dainty customers, as he presumed his friends to be, in the light of a windfall to the house, and in no way calclated to make an injurious impression upon the contends of his larder. At this stage of the proceedings Smith sought for his old towns man Messer, whom found early the next morning engaged at his laborious calling. On inquiry, Zac. stated that lie had not yet breakfaded, but that a certain uumistakeablc gnawing in his stomach reminded him that the time for the discharge ofthat important duty was close at hand. Mr. Smith stated his case in a few words, and concluded by earnestly requesting Messer to forego his morning meal, and dine at his expense. To the latter part of the arrangement no objection was made, but to the former a demurer was entered, on the ground that he had never in the conrse of his life endured so long a fail. But, however, for his friend's sake, and in view of the entertainement ahead he acquiesced in the arrangement. At the appointed hour, Smith, accompanied by his friend Zac Messer, made his appearance at the hotel, where everything was in readiness! The half dollar was paid by Smith, who assured mine host that the other eight would pay as they dropped in, and then departed. Messer, who appeared to be in a hurry, was admitted to the dining hall, where his keen olfactories had already scented out several very savory dishes. He first paid his respects to a fine boiled salmon, of several pounds weight, which had been served up in good style. In order to facilitate operations, he quietly shoved his own plate aside, and drew the platter containing the fish before him. In a few moments all had disappeared but the back bone, and even that exhibited unmistakeable evidence of hard usage. The next onslaught was upon a brace of baked fowls which were disposed of in true military style; the wings being made to advance first, and the main body to speedily follow. Meanwhile, the lighter articles of food had not been neglected ; several plates of asparagus, a dish or two of radishes, and proportion of pit s and cakes, which stood near, had disappeared, as if by magic. The waiter had worked himself into a profuse perspiration in answering the demands for coffee, and as he handed Zac the sixteenth cup, he precipitately left to report the strange doings within. The landlord hurried to the scene of operations; a glance sufficed to reveal to him the extent of his calamity. Zac was just attacking a round of mutton, with evident symptoms of a renewed appetite, when the host arrested his attention by demanding if the gentleman would not have some cider hoping ny this ruse, to delay operations against the aforesaid leg of mutton, at least until the arrival of the other eight ciMoniors who were momentarily expected to appear. Our hero was to be caught in no such trap, therefore, without dropping knife or fork, he gave a decided negative to the enquiry, stating that he never drank cider until half done. This was too much for boniface, and in desperation he jerked forth the identical half dollar received of Smith, informing his guest that he was welcome to that, and all he had eaten, if he would take his eursed presence from his sight. Zac. assented to the and Ihereution left. At this moment, a new lirht burst upon the landlord; he comprehended the affair at once, and saw clearly thai he had been most villanously s-o-l-d. 0 A man residing in a New England town, at some distance from a near relative, received a message one cold evening in November to hasten to his residence, as he was in a dying state. When he arrived he was told that his friend was a little better, but that his reason has left him. The sick man presently turned his head, saying in a faint voica: "Vho is that?" He was informed that it was his relative who had been sent for. "Oh! ah!" said he; "yes! He must be a-cold. Make him a good warm toddy oh ves, a toddy, hot toddy." "I guess he aint crazy," said the visitor to his friends standing around; "he talks very rational. 07" We heard of a rich man once who was badly injured by being run over. "It isn't the accident," said he, "that I mind; that isn't the thing; but the idea of being run over by an infernal swill-cart makes me mad." fjtT Mrs. Partington ia busy in California about the divorce bill, and denounces tnose who favor it in the legislature there as worse than the Turkies,, who have as many wives as they cun cram into their house. fVjT A son of Erin gave the following- toast "Here's wishing yu may never die, nor nobodv kill ye, until i ye knock yer brains out against the silver knocker of yer oun dhoor.'' fif The last reason why Jenny Lind will not sing at Pittsburgh, says the Weeling Gazette, is "that her reputation is so high she can't get under the bridge."

Tooth Drawing. Martin Carey was the boy sure enough for frolickinp;, fifrhtincr, danciiur, or drinking. But sometimes

Martin used to get so corned that it was totally impossible for him to define the extra difference between the full moon and a new cheese. It was on one of those nights, on which Martin desired to have a real thundering spree, ÜW he found his way to the inn of " The Hen's Tooth 1 d Cat's Feather," where around a table sat as merry a set of devil-may-care boys as ever beat an exciseman or threshed the floor of a barn to the tune of " Indeed then you shan't." Down sat Martin and on went the spree for two good hours, but their money was run out and the little crooked nosed, crabbetl-faced host would give out no more liquor until scores" were settled. In this dilemma a thought shone in upon the merry mind of Martin Carey. "Hurrah boys," said he; "is it money yees want?" "Aye, it is." " Why, thin, ye poor benighted set of Creoles, sure it is easy enough to get all the money required to make us drunk as Backus' sow." " How, Martin? Come, boy, tell us now." "Whist spake tinderly now," said Martin, leaning over the table, "sure ye all know ould Doctor Strong."' "To be sure we do, the bloody ould resurrectionist!" " Be eisy now and listen. Just you get a sack and put me into it body and bones, and carry me to Strong's; you'll get ready money for the body, and leave the rest to me." No time was lost the bag was got Martin duly bagged, and the boys were not slow in conveying their funny burthen to Dr. Strong's. Arriving at the door, thev cautiously knocked and were as cautiously answered by Mrs. Strong. The Doctor was from home. He was gone to Dublin and would not be at home for a week. The body would not keep, but rather than let it go, she would give them half a guinea for it. The bargain was settled, and the bag with its heavy contents conveyed to a small room at the back of the kitchen. The bovs took their leave in haste, but waited at the corner to see the end of the spree. The door being cautiously closed after them, Mrs. Strong, who always had for her perquisites the teeth of her husband's subjects, which she sold to the dentists, approached the bag with her pincers Martin, quite overcome with drink, and the jolting of his journey, had fallen asleep. Mrs. S. untied tbe bag, Martin's mouth was partly open; she thought she heard breathing, but no it could not be it was onl v her nervousness. With a desperate effort she thrust tfie pincers between his grinders and gave a tug Martin jumped up and yelled out. Away ran the horrified Mrs. Strong, and away stumbled the bagged Martin after. She fainted. Martin came too, and getting out of the bag, he soon got out of the house and rejoined his merry comrades, and they liad a wild jollification over that well earned half guinea. Martin swore the Doctor's ould woman gave him the tooth ache, but he managed to get glorious in spite of his teeth. Dr. Strong returned from Dublin next day, but on hearing the well-spread story of toothdrawing, he quickly disappeared with his disconcerted lady from the neighborhood of Martin Carey and the boys of Kilkenney. fcThe moral world, without the gospel, is as the natural world, without the sun. s-'tfO St r du Tr ----- rHPtK.
