The boy replied in his 'own lan guage, which I am too.well raised to use that whenever a certain satte gentleman sheep in his llock turned hia ( head from the wind," it forebode trouble in the elements! The phi losopher smiled, and turnd away, a little vex ed ; but finally came to the conclusion that, with all his wiom, the most ignorant knew something that he didn't. It may be, from this, originated the homely adage: "two heads are better than one, if une is a sheep's head ; and the idea oi Napoleon, that "there ! i . .i .1.. .m:. j is out one step irom tne suuiime to uie naic-. ! uluus." r i Well, it Ik likely that you and your readers ! may become tiffed of the trash that frequent ! breezes of thinking may blow out of my' l.rain ; and if you do, I want you to say so. But, "suffer it to be so now," for this brings i me to another idea, and tliey are too scatter-, ing, in this pine country, to be let slip. Here it is: I never read ah author, especially one ! remarkable for his profundity in the science !uf life, and the natural and social historv of j man, but I continually meet with thoughts ! that have aforetime hobbled through the j avenues otjmy cranium ; which though I did ! nut at. the Itiine suppose worth arresting and' ; rcecHjiiizirtg to appear at any future time. ' Now, if a tree were to fall on me, I have no i doubt but I should be killed, for good luek i never manifested any pprdiality forme; but 1 I never expect to die dfiwd'g and I would j ! rather live and rot a thousand years with the leprosy, than disgrace my heart in my own estimation, and have my brains and blood flittered away, by such a mental amine. Yet there is one idea that must see the light, to wit: We (that means all of us) are wiser than we wot of.

There never was a greater mistake made by mortal man, except, perhaps, the only parallel n record of the man who put his boots ip bed and set himself without the door to be blacked! It wasf Bim ply by the fall of an apple that Sir Isaac ewton first got th? idea.hat the earth would, Under all circumstances, claim Us,own. And it is related of that same distinguished indi vidual, who for so many years, when the stars honestly thought he was asleep like an hon est man, played the spy in their camp, that. mation most devoutly to be wished," yet, I fear it is too refined, perhaps Utopian, for the practical and cherished liberty of doing-noth-ing-if-we-choose of the present day. It Js true, the world is making much progress in the west, and the whole of creation, in conse quence thereof, have got to bragging oi tus age! While it is also true, that the motive power oi this mighty live machinery, is a comparative ly few great and self-sacrificing minds and bodies. The strong man shakes the tree, and the little hungry, weak, lazy) ones picks up and gulps down the 'strumous. That's the way with the world. Fulton died poor; the tiostles were killed ; and Columbus -was ta i ken back in chains. Not only does every man know something useful, but every one, however humble, has hia injuenee. Bu. most of the men in the world, in one point, resemble guns. Though ivcfl loaded, prepared to do execution, yet they will stand in the corner until the rust eats them up, unless somebody" will take them out and shoot 'em off! Yes, and .some of them have rusted so long, when they are made to "o-o off," they pretty near kick the brains out of the shoidder ! But it is not philosophical to fret life's a lottery, and of course blanks musj be expected. Well, I said I was looking at the fire. So I was, and being in a reverie reveries are good things, especially such as the "reveries of a bachelor," I concluded to give the foregoing cogitations to the readers of the Ex press and particularly tor the considera tions of Mary h., V. 3.

Shall we join .'together and form a club a Social Circle as it were wherein we can have our social chat, gtve vent to our feelings and fancies, and perchance make a column in the Express that will be read with interest, .by its numerous readers. In fact Mart L., has made-the move, and much ob-" liged to her tam, for the pleasure the perus al of her letters have afforded me. Will you allow me, Mart L., to take a seat by yot'r side in "Our Social Circle?"

In tact, it was consid erfed unscal'eable for a distance ofj about twio. miles, when it sank down gr-adu- ally at either end to the level of the plain. Ascending the cliff, one be heild on its summit a wide plain, stretching off in the distance from the shjarp edge of the precipice, and from that-dizzy point could look dow;i upon thje works of the miners below, close urjiter its sides. j jUpon the top of the. cliff wjliich I have been describing, I was strolling lisjtlcssly,.late one ounaay aiternoon, thinking of a strange and sad circum stance which had happened about a ydar before in our family. My only bilother, a tact ot ntteen, nat gone ou: eafrly one summer morning to shoot pliivcr on the heights, and from that hojur had never been heard of. When lak seen, he was mounting "the cliff, iipm tue eaisierit siue, ami tuuugu (hen alarmed at his long delay) we mkde immediate search and inquiry, never gained any further in forma-' tin. To speak of our family distress, arjd my own heart-grieving "for my wll-beloved brother, it is not ny pur pose ; but it was the only subject of mjy thoughts on that quiet' summer evening, when all the noise from the works were hushed, and the stillness sejeraed tenfold by contrast. j I approached very near the edge of tlie cliff. I was now at its steepest prt, and looking down at its smooth sifles, I thought how terrible a fall would be ; but my brother could not hive fallen down. In that case his mnngled body, at least, would have been found. ing thirst, and almost at thc same time, I became sure I heard the dripping of water. I dragged myself towards the sound, stretched out my hand and. drops from above fell upon it ; eagerly I swallowed a few, which burned my throat: they were distilled brine, salt as any impregnation of water could possibly be ! This disappointment crushed me ter ribly I should die of thirst ere I had found a mode of exit. I thought of the matches, and tried them again, in vain ; tin's time, However, ttiey gave forth a light smoke. In time the heat of my breast 'would dry them that was a hope. I had no idea of time, save that my watch had run down while I slept. I wound it up again, knowing that when it again stopped eight-and-twenty hours .would have gone by. Again, on my hands and knees, I crept around, feeling by the rock which lay behind it came in a narrow streak of daylight.
