A PRAIRIE.
Mr. Woods, the correspondent of the London
' Times, thus describes the prairie:
“It is easy for any of your readers to imagine
a prairie; it is next to impossible to describe one.
' Leave Dwight behind you, and walk out to the
east till all sight and sound of the little village is
lost in the distance, and then look round you.
There is a huge, undulating ocean of long, rich
arass and flowers, which the warm, soft wind
keeps in a gentle Tipple. There is not a sound
but the shrill chirping of millions of cricketsj not
a shrub or bush to break the dead level of the
distant horizon; nothing to vary the widespreap
.sea of verdure but its own masses of bright wild
flowers, over which gorgeous butterflies keep always
i skimming on noiseless wings. This is the prairie.
“About a mile or so ahead is a slight but very
perceptible rise in the ground, and you push on
: for this to get a good look about you. There is,
. of course, no track, and j’our way lies through
the prairie grass, now little more than breast high,
but in the spring almost over your head. You
Stride through eluiupsof resin and compass weeds;
through patches of blue,yellow, and purpleflowere;
through thyme and long rich grass with tall,
tufted, reedy plants in the midst, which attract
your notice at once. It is the rattlesnake weed,
always most plentiful where this deadly reptile
abounds, and the root of which, with immense
doses of corn whiskey, is said, under certain
favorable contingencies, to have averted fatal re
sults from the bites of very small reptiles of this
class. Where the snake weed is plentiful, be
ware and look out well for the snakes too. You
cannot walk far through the prairie on a hot
morning without hearing the dry, sharp, hissing
rattle of one of these deadly serpent?, as with his
tail so quickly vibrating that you can scarcely ’
distinguish its end, and with the lean, hungry-
looking head erect, it moves sluggishly away in
We intend to search of a place where it may repose and bask
undisturbed. Such dangerous occupants of the
grass are common in the prairies, and may,
with prairie wolves, and sometimes deer, be
seen within a stone’s throw of the houses of
Dwight itself But all this while you are plod
ding through the grass, turning aside for one
ntimite to look at the little prairie crabs which
burrow down their holes some fifteen feet to the
level of the water below the gravel, and into
which they drop at once on the slightest sound of
tilarm; or else you watch the coveys of prairie
hens, as they rise with a whirr right and left, and
go skimming along like grouse a little ahead of
vou. At last you gain the summit ol a getitle
rise, and can look around you for miles on miles
in all directions, yet you are almost disappointed
to find that you have gained nothing by your walk;
that the same tremendous extent of meadow land,
clothed with a rank luxuriance of grass and flowers,
stretches away on every side till deep green fades
into brown in the distance, and a line oi blackish-
blue on the ocean, far, far out, marks where the
horizon meets the sky. Yet the land is not all
I Northern markets. level. It has a series of gentle undulations, of
Plans and spccificatiotis furnished and the erectiou of long, sloping ridges, as if an inland sea, when

Travel on for miles and miles, for days and nights;
pass from Illinois, across the broad turbid waters
of the Mississippi, into the slave State of .Missouri
^journey tor hundreds and hundreds of leagues,
as you may do here, yet not quit for a single ^ay
these monstrous grassy wastes, these perpetual
land claims, in which a silence as great as that
upon the sea seems always to remain unbroken.
‘‘The inexperienced person, however, must be
careful how he ventures on these luxuriant steppes
alone. Let him but lose sight of his faint land
marks, and make one or two incautious turns, and
he will instantly find himself engaged in a game
of blindman’s buflF on a most unpleasant scale, and
must catch what way he can back again. In vain
you search for the track you have made through
the long grass. A breath of wind is sufficient to
conceal it from your inexperienced eyes, though
a week afterwards an Indian runner could follow
it up with as much ease as if it were a paved road.
Vou push forward in what you think a straight
course, but it is ten to one that you only make
huge circles round the place from which you
sUirted, and it is then that the etenuil solemn
silence of these great plains becom^'al onjy
impressive but almost alaming, when ev^Ffresh
effort to strike a track only increases your weari-
ne.ss, and you feel yourself a helpless prisoner in
these huge, bright smiling solitudes. Fortunate
ly, none go on the prairie for the first time with
out bring shown in case of such mishaps the
ijroups of compass weed which abound all over
the plains, and the broad flat leaves of which
piint due north and south witli an accuracy as un
varying as that of the magnetic needle itself. And
thus with the aid of the.se useful little weeds aud
the sun's,course, you may make tracks across the
broadest prairie with the moat unerring ceruintj.’
