Natural history develops many incompre hensible peculiarties in the pnysioiogy and habits of the vegtable world. Indeed, to watchful eyes, where do the inexaustible wonders of this globe cease ? "When Mun go Tark travelled among the savage tribes of interior and southern Africa, he was one day attracted by an odor of so remarkable and fascinating a character, that although in a part of the country where deserts, wilderness and savageism abounded, he yet wandered onward, following his serial guide until he found in a jnngle a flower sur passing in magnitude and splendid beauty. any general or species of plant he had ever seen or heard of in tne noral world. (Jan we undei stand this truth ? Why should a flower of such consummate and artistic beau ty have been planted, as so many are, where no human eyes have ever looked, from the time they first sprung up, to the period of their withering away ; or why such care and so much beanty bestowed upon a life so ephemeral and upon that which wild beasts ;ind reptiles crush down and trample into the dust ? The butterflies and other in sects flit about them and derive food from their nectaries, but they enjoy quite as much the honey from the nectary of the coarsest and most common flower. The pitcher plant Nepthenes dutillatoria of Ceylon, has attached to the leaf a tendril, at the extremity of which is a pitcher six inches in length and one and a half in di ameter, with a lid opening and shutting with the changes of the atmosphere. There is a secretion of pure water with which the pitcher is filled ; into this creeping insects fall und are drowned, but there is a small .shrimp which derives its sustenance from feeding upon thoso insects, and their los. of live preserves his. Here indeed is a check to our pride of reasoning, in the economy of life with these animals, the adaptation of mechanical vegetation to th-ir deduction or preservation. Some thought ful and studious minds reason only satisfac torily to themselves, when they apply the rules (f the exact sciences. They must have 1 1 their problem thenroof. I collections ' bad heard from her parent the same lessons every day or two. Thev were lika Dracos' laws, but the blood was shed from her own heart. - She was taught that mercy and money could not dwell together. That her entreaties for work was met with ill usage and repulse, and that when she held up the, trembling hands of beggary and starvation, she was driven away with mockery, threats and scorn. She was taught that they were the manacled cap tives of the strong and the rich, and that to break those chains by any means within their control, be they foul or fair, was their right. The door of this wretched hovel opened, night or day to any one who would bring a few old clothes, ora little food or fuel into it. Such was the education of Delia ?Ior vin. Her mother. Martha Cloud, was ta ken, when an orphan of four yeai-3 of age, into a sm dl country public house, where she grew up, and while yet too young to take caro of herself, was betrayed by a Judas in the person of one of her own sex. Here was seen the type of him who in the garden of Gethsemano committed so cruel and horrid an act, that life was a bur den too heavy for him to bear : "And he went out and hanged himself." On that bitter, frozen day, when the poor, suii'ering outcast ventured to eo to the marble residence, a famine was at her threshold. She went to beg for the "crumbs which fell from the rich man's table." And in that single act there was more virtue than years had afforded to the silken and jewelled lady. She was striving to feed her destitute, hungri their necessities was struggling against a mountain for them, when she encountered dread, and snaruc, una storms for their sakes. Had she been given employment and uaNiuiiJ!-od in uprightness, those little ones would have been brought up faithfullv vnu itoncstjy, lor .she had a good heart, and tvheu in great want, had been known to di vide her crust with those she believed to be tnore untortunute than herself. She had spread her rags, as well as she could, for :he SJck and weary, who had but the claims if humanity upon her, and watched them wi-en all around hor were sleeping. There is a brirriit record of all t it finlm in STATE NEWS. More Thieving. We learn that Mrs. Eliza Herriet, of Pollocksville, was robbed on Thursday night last, of several hundred pounds of bacon and pork, together with quite an amount of other provisions, which she had collected on her farm. Mrs. Herriet is a widow lady, and has no protection. The robbery is supposed to have been committed by a band of negroes. Our informant states that there has been considerable activity among the colored population in that vicinity, and unusual traveling upon the country roads. We hope our Police will keep on the alert for the perpetrators of this robbery, as it is thought they came in this direction. JVeicbern Journal of Commerce. Hon. A. II.

The lake of the Xymphrea is small, and surrounded by many of those feathery look ing trees which dwell near the water and resemble aquatic birds. Tall reeds grow on its margin, concealing in their linear fol iage many a downy nest, and here the grave frog croaks, and tall white cranes look down from its sedgy side at their dark shadows, as if studying refraction and re llection, until some joyou3 minnow spring ing too near the surface changes iu an ins tant this crural statue of a bird, into an ani mated who stabs and devours him enemy before he is even aware of his presence. Thev are now amalgamated ; the fish is the bird is the fish how to the littlo minnow bird, and the unlike is the crane with its silver net and its ruby tins.

And the dove was in that woodland too, but heis was the voice of mourning, the sobs of a broken heart the spirit of tears her very look is that of a chastely sculptured fune ral urn. One evening when the clouds hung low and black and the voice of thunder was heard among them, and the lightning leap ed into them and out'of them again and the smooth surface of the lake was dimpled with rain drops, a poor woman, more torn in soul than the rent clouds above her, and whose sorrows had made her old in the bloom of youth, found a grave beneath that still water. It gave her a place of rest and quieted a heart full of tears, and thus a bounty was bestowed upon her, for the first and only time by that lake whose suowy inhabitants shunned all that was dark and chilling, and dwelt onty in the light of day. She had been rejected and despised, and in her rage and want, with the contumely of lost character, was then, lor her advantages, a better, a purer and more religious spirit, than many who jass ed in her pomp and glittering array, and who regarded her as unworthy to lift her eyes from the earth in their presence. We will endeavor to recollect some of the incidents in tho life of her, who from dread of being publicly executed, together with the despair of shame and want, sought a grave in the quiet water of the Like. DELIA MORVIN. Sleet was rattling against the sculptured windows of a residence of white marble. The day was so dark that the Venetians were all opened and the lady of the man sion had just directed a half dozen perfum ed wax candles to be lit, and the windows closed for there was not even demiday from their united light when the door eli ded back and a servant announced that a woman in the kitchen wished to speak with her. " Who is she what is she V" said a voice. It came from innumerable folds of India silk and Bengal muslin, i'or the lady was in a draped recess, and w hen she appeared, w is closely wrapt in one of those rare Cash mere shawls, whose texture resembles va por or gossamer, and yet is nearly as warm as fur. They are seldom seen beyond the rugged boundary of the Cancassus moun tains, or the Capsian sea. " She is called Marther Cloud madam." " A very appropriate name for the day" said the lady, who was irritated at the disturbance of her listless ennui. "Tell her to come in." The servant again returned saying that the woman was standing in the passage, :)id that she said she was not fit to come iido the house. As she spoke, she held open the door, but just before doing so, said in a low tone " Madam, she is said to have no character." The poor creature stood shivering, from want of warm clothing, and exposure to a deep snow and intense cold, for although the dwelling was as warm as June, by Means of flues which ran throughout the building, yet it could not thaw the ague of her almost frozen body, and the l idy ad ded 1 her siifiorings, for she darted keen icicles into her heart as she said : "How lare you come into this house, with such a character as I understand you have show her the street door, Molly.'" Gone yes, to wretchedness and ap proaching famine. Two little children were taught that bitter day to hate and de fraud their fellow-beings lor life. And true it is, that from this hour, there lurked in the frescoed apartments of that marble res idence an invisible evil spirit, whose led glaring eyes watched that lady, and stood by her and tempted her for many long years afterwards. Delia Morvin was brought up in the su burbs ofa town, and from her earliest re times the first there.

The anxiety of tho persons present, among whom were several ladies, was betrayed by i their restlessness of movement and by the i expression of their countenances. Even i the counsel in the case could not conceal i their anxiety. Tho prisoner, Clare, re-1 mained seated m the box, with a bailiff at Li .1 by two or three tallow candles and one oil lamp, and was almost sepuichral iu its gloom. Yet, by the dim light, tho sallow and v.-iin cheek and dark eyes of the youth ful tenant of the prisoner's box exhibited more emotion Uaui he had previously man- iteste.1. Tnere Mere those near to him. however, to whom he was dear, and whose trepidation ns the crisis of his fate ap proached, was palpauiy visible. Almost at tho exact termination of the hour, (8 o'clock,) a movement was heard in the direction of the grand iury room. Im- CAPTiOSS 0 ACT 1.

Amidst the silence whu-h prevailed, Judge rJmoiy directed tho clerk to call the jury, after which the ci.-rk said : "John Chire, hold up your right hand." The prisoner rose, nuide a step forward, so that he routed against the trial table and held up his rigid hand. The clerk said : "Gen tlemen ot the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict V" which was responded to af firmatively. "Who shall say for you V" Answer " Our foreman." Clerk'" Do you find the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty of the matter whereof he is charged ?" Amidst the almost breathless silence the foreman responded " We find the prisoner guilty of murder in ihe first degree." At this moment the right arm of the prisoner dropped like lead, and his bodv fell forward with a heavv thug unou the table before Iniu. Half suppressed evi dences of emotion were heard iu various directions. ihe sobs of women were audi ble, and the pale el'cek and even the tears of men were visible. Many of the jury men wept at tho sight and lew persons in that crowded hall could conceal their emo tion. The clerk suspended for a moment the requisite formalities, while two of the bail iffs supported the form oi" the prisoner, which stid rested, apparently inanimate, upon the table. The clerk resumed: Ymr foreman says you find the prisoner guilty of mur der in the first degree, and so you say all," to which all bowed affirmatively. The court directed the clerk to record the verdict. The bailiffs then supported the prisoner to his seat, upon which he reclined, motion less and silent, with his handkerchief and hands covering his face. The counsel for the defence staged that they would file in writing a motion in ar rest of judgment " for errors apparent up on the lace of the record," which was done. The attention of the spectators was then again drawn to the prisoner, who remained in the same position, and they crowded around him with eager eyes until the bail iffs requested all to withdraw from the court room, which they did. The prostrate form of the miserable prisoner w as then borne to his nirrow cell in the corntyjail.
