As I was going, on the 2lUh of Align El, in the pursuit of black game, two parent eagles were teaching their offspring, two young birds, the manncuvcrcs of llight. They began by rising from the top of e. mountain in the eye of the sun; it was about mid-day, and bright for this climate. They at first made small circles, and the young birds imitated them; they paused on their wings, wailing till they had made their first llight, and then took a second ami larger pyration, always rising towards the sun, and enlarging their circle of llight fo as to make a gradually extending spiral. The young ones stilt followed, apparently Hying better ns they mounted; ami they continued lids sublime kind of exercise, always rising, till they became tncro points in the air, and the young ones were lost, and afterwards their parents, to our aching sight.” Naturally connected with the above are the following beautiful lines: , [from the Saturday .Vomfng I'isi(er t Song of the American Engle.

The sound of a voice came from the chamber of the guest, who was engaged in his private religious worship. After thanking his Utealor for his many mercies, and asking a blessing on the inhabitants of the house, he continued—“and now, Almighty Father, if it is thy holy will that we shall obtain a place among the nations of the earth, grant that we may he enabled to show our gratitude For thy goodness, by our endeavors to obey thee, lllcss us with wisdom in our councils, success in battle, and let bur victories be tempered with humanity. Endow also our enemies with enlightened minds, that they may become sensible of their injustice, and willing to restore our liberty and peace. Grant the peti-, tion of thy servant for tho sake of him whom thou hast called thy con; nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. Amen.” Tho next morning the traveller declined (lie pressing solicitations to breakfast with fits host, declared it was necessary for him to cross the river immediately, at the same lime offering a part of his purse as a compensation for the attention ho had received—which was refused.

Itevolatiouary Reminiscences,

A TALE OF TRUTH,

One pleasant evening to the month of June, in the year 17—, a man was observed entering the borders of a wood near the Hudson river; his appearance was that of a per=on above the common rank. TLc inhabitable of a country would have dignified him with the name of Squire, and from Ids manner have pronounced proud; but those more accustomed to society, would inform you there was something liko a military air about him. Ilia horse panted as if it had been hard pushed for some miles, yet from the owner’s frequent stops to caress the patient animal he could not be charged with want of humanity, but teemed to be actuated by some urgent necessity. The rider’s forsaking a good road , for a by-path leading through the-.woods indicated a desire to avoid the gaze of other travellers. He had not left the house where he enquired the direction of the path, more than two hours, before :be quietude of the place was broken by the noise of distant thunder. He was soon after obligated to dismount, travelling became dangerous, as darkness concealed surrounding objects, except where the lightning's terrific flash ailbrdcd a momentary view of bis situation. A peal, louder anJ offonger duration than any of the preceding, which now burst over his head seeming as if it would rend the woods asunder, was quickly followed by a heavy fall of rain, which penetrated th 0 clothing of the stranger, ere ho could obtain the shelter of a lar>m oak which stood at a little distance. ° '

Political Courtship.

The .New York Sunday Mercury tells the following Yankee anecdote. Jonathan walks in, lakes a seat, and look# at Sukey; Sukoy "rakes up the fire,” blows outthe candle, and dont look at Jonathan. Jonathan hitches and wriggles about in his chair, and Sukey sits perfectly still. At length Jonathan musters courage and Spcak;Cth—"Sewkcl”, " Well Jonathan”—I love.you like pizen and sweatmeats.” "Dew tell!** "It’a a fact and no mistake—wi—will—now—will ye have mo Sewko!” "Jonathan Higgins, what am your politics!” “I’m for Van Buren, straight.’ “Wall, sir! then you can march straight hum, cora I wont have nobody that aint for Harrison —that’s flat.” “Three cheers /or old Tip!” sung out Jonathan. “That’s your son!” says Sukey, “when shall we be married, Jonathan!” “Soon’s old Tip is elected.” “Ahem! A-a-hocj!”— “What's the matter, Sewke!” “’Sposiu’ he aim elected!”

ICls. letter A, payable to John W. Wales, dated May 4tb, 1837, sighed J, S. Armstrong, President, W, S. Hatch, Cashier, and engraved by Underwood, Bald & Spencer. The signatures arc tolerably well executed. The counterfeits may be easily detected by noticing the plate, the bank having issued none of this descrip- . tion: tn tho centre of the note, at the lop, is a. vignette of William the Fourth, and on thoright and left aro female figures, the formesseated, holding a sheaf of wheat, and the latter standing, with a cap of liberty in her righi hand.

Almost exhausted with (be labors of the day he was about making such disposition of the saddle 'and his own coat, as would enable him to pass the night with that comfort circumstances would admit, when ho espied a light glimmering thro* (ho trees. Animated with the hope of better lodging, he determined to proceed. The way, which was sleep, became attended with more obstacles the farther ho advanced, the soil being-composed of clay, which the rain had rendered bo soft that his feel slipped every slep. By the utmost perseverance this difficulty was finally overcome without any accident, and ho had the pleasure of finding himself in the front of a decent looking farm house. The watch dog began barking, which brought the owner of the mansion to the door.

There arc counterfeits on nearly every bank,, in the State of Ohio, and persons cannot be too cautious in taking them.

Jonathan didn’t go away till the next mornng, but whether he answered the last question his deponent knowcih not.
