they have light hair, will very often have
blue eyes, uml fair complexions. Many of
fho males will be nearly six fret high; and
many of the female!* will possess a beautiful
shape, if they do not s|)oil it by drer,s.—
Both male and female will Ix; much inclined

make prudent nialclien, enjoy good licalth,
poBsesB a good temper, have obedient chil
dren and plenty of money, they will be apt
to lead a very comfortable life.
June.—Those whoare born in June, and

rose, and will .scarcely know what pain is.
They will for the mo.st part be ardent lovers
—the men of good eating and the womeu
of fine clothf**. The meti will generally be
as happy as circumstances will allow; and
will contrive, by hook or by crook, to live
Mit all their days. 'J'he women will be ex-
rffdingiy pleiisant, when they are in a good
humor; und, with very few exceptions, will
liveis long as they can. They will, u majori

and .sane will not; and where there is no

SOL'TH-CAUOLINA.
To a person that arrives in the city of
Charleston on a moonlight evening of March
or April, it seeme that he has never seen or
imagined sodelictous a place. He will walk
delighted through spacious streets, lined
with pride of India; he will sec the niulti*
flora rose, with its clusters of a hundred
flowers, clasping pillars and balconies; and
he will breathe an air perfumed with tha
blossoms of the orunge and Jessamine. Ha
will see the dark green laurel shoot up its
pyramidal form, covered with large glossy
leave*, and studded with huge flowers of a
delicate white; and he cannot fail to admire
the slender palmetto, shaped like an enor
mous umbrella, with a straight shaft of six
ty feet, and a cluster of hanging leaves at
the top. The stranger will see in Charles*
ton not only colonnades, piazzas, and domes,
with other parts of good architecture, but
he will find many trees and gardens, with
out which the best edifices lotie half tiM-ir
proper efiect.
In the morning, let the traveller go to tho
market house, to see the pnxluctions of tho
south. There is no lack of supplies to fur
nish forth a feast, and the array of fruits as
well as pfiultry, (which is manacled in pairs)
are sold by negro and mulatto fenmlf^,
whose gay turbans of iMadras, anl w hose
manner of sitting beside their merchandise,
has a very Turkish appearance.
In the vicinity of the marlict are hun
dreds of large sable, bald-headed birds,
bearing the respeciable compound name of
'I'urkey-F.urxards, and enjoying an exterior

from the ridge pole, a shin bone, to which
he otlen turned his head! to look at alter
nately with each eye, as I have often seen
his Honor turn first one ear then the other,
to the words of the counsel. Nature ho\v-
ever has furnished him with ears upon a
bHjntiful scale. The buzzards are protect
ed by law, and, in requital, make them
selves useful in the capacity of scavengers.
Nothing escapes them; they scent their
food afar off; and, to say truth, they may be
found themseK es at some distance in a sim
ilar niannor. I had once killed an old alii-

fore there were seventy buzzards rank and

there was, on the bank, the cleanest skeleton
of an alligator that you would see in riding
fifty miles, even in Alabama, where the
fences are made of them. The gait of tho
liuzz-ird is like the short hop of the bull-
