. RURAL EMr.KLLISHMRNTS. The disposition to improve and adorn *ithe grounds immediately around houses in the country, is rapidly extending itself in America. But it is very much checked by the want of practical guides, by means of which there shall be some security afforded to individuals with moderate re* sources, against the misapplication of their money and labor. The English worlds, which are to be found in great varicty, $na some of them very splendid, are worse than useless in many respects -upon this side of the Atlantic; for they are predicated upon a state of society , *nd manners, a climate, an extent of private fortunes, and a scale of prices of labor and materials, so wholly diff rent from what it is here, that anv luckless wight who ever commenced operations " ' " 1 - -nn/l in tllOm upon the taith or wnai nc imu ... must have had occasion before he ended, to repent in more ways than one of his ' misplaced confidence. Almost every citizenof the United States, when he begins to .improve land, has to djal with nature ?n some of her primitive forms. He finds every thing before him to be done, and the cost of labor with u hi h to do it very great. Hence, it often hap:i -pens, that he has expended a considerable ~"^v sum realizing nothing further from it, as ' ypt,'tha'n an opportunity to expend more to advantage. He finds this no where . . v set down in the estimates of the old world, whero no such work is necessary; and - % he become* discouraged from doing more. What he sees put down as within the * ? . c m:>ass of a moderate fortune in Eug). nd. turns out to require a large one in America. He loses confidence in all es? timates whatever,- and, in order to save himself from ruin, stops where he is.? The consequence generally is, that he l?>ses the advantage of mu< h of his p:e ceeding outlay ; that he gets disgusted with country, life ; finally sells what he has done lor a quarter part of the amount i: has cost him, and returns to a city determined never to leave it; or, if he does, only for a jaunt to some watering place during the hot weeks of the season. Yet after a'l, it is very easy to adorn the lowliest country dwelling without incurring much cost, provided only the disposition be found to exist in the mind of its tenant. There is no country, where the opportunity and the inducement unite together in a greater degree than among lis. Our lands are generally in the hands of independent citizens, who own them free from incumbrance, but who own not ^ much else. A trifling amount of annua! " '* " : ? - /. m>,lrn lhr> labor, 18 an tnai is necewuiY ?,? difference at home, between a bare and desolate hovel, and a prettv farmhouse. A few overgrown current bushes in a formal row. before the house, which have been left to take care of themselves ever inee they were set, half a dozen wild apple-trees, constitute ail the horticultural improvement of many of our most an- j cient interior towns. A few hours, but too often spent at the tavern fire-place in political wrangling, would suffice to put a new face upon the scene. The apple-treos might be made to return money j into the.4>ocket of their owner, and his j neglected cytjenk bushes' might afford j space for a few additional plants, the cultivation of which would soften and expand his own mind, in the same ratio that it improved the appearance of his home. His wife.and children, taking the benefit of hi? example, could daily contribute w ithout.-eifort their mite to the general effect, and thus would grow, out of a ne*>' glee ted and repelling spot, a cheerful and inviting scene. To-do all this, little is * V .. . recessarv beyond the will of the individual concerned. Yet how many are - ? 'there al) over'the United States, men; ,-and women, who have never realized the j . possibility of-such ft conception, and who j a think all the use of the earth to be. that it ! e- *v. vields corn and wheat, and potatoes, and -frlJ the beauty of a house that it is a shelter - ' frpiii lhe weather! We wish that there was in America, ? more decided taste for country life among the younger portion of those class, -es, favored by fiirtu? e .vith the possession of property. Il would have a tendency in some degree, to counteract the rest* - lissness and disposition to change, which is characteristic of our people, and to check thtrpassion for luxuries of all kinds, which is rapidly extending iiself with the increase of our public hotels, and the facilities of transportation from place to place. " One .of ."the greatest supports tp the fribic of society. as it ts erected in Engiand. is .the landed interest; by which we mean, that class of proprietors who lived upon estnies, nnd *ympathize with ail their neighbours poo or rich. and to whom the idea oi removal from 'he place which they -c *11 home, is in the n.itureof a heavy ca1 no .y. In the United States there is no such class. The wealthy have made their property for t+h noselv.es in cities, and to most of them a country house is necessary. because it is commonly regarded as an appendage to the condition of a man for no,4rther reason- It is seldom considI'reci in thelightof a permanent possesions or more than a place to spend threeor four months of summer. No rural tastesare formed. no sympathies with neighbors are created. The citizens all his life, and his country at his death . is /sold, and passes into other hands without the perpetuation of a single memorial that such a man had ever dwelt in it. The great majority of per sons who make < OJntry seats, do so be "? cause they desi e o make a display of their fortune, or else because they have a romontic idea in their mind of the de. kght of a beutiful retreat from the bustle Qf the world. Neither motive will answer for any lenghth of time, to keep them liviog there. The desire for display rapidly p?Jls. with, the-possession of all that, is uecessarv to indulge i.t, and. the fancy frffcretfre^ent-girosway. before the dreaViness.splitude. Let no one of property .. ?eeka /country place unless he is inclined t ' * I to attach himself to the-soul, to mak-- his children feet tint it is theirs as we!! as his, I to cultivate a common interest with all his neighbors. North American Review. THE WILD CAT. The Felidce, or Cat tribe, form one of the most natural and characteristic groups of the class mammalia. From the lion or tiger to the domestic cat, all are endowed with the same instincts,?the same appetites,?the same organic structure. Carnivorous in the extreme, they are admirably framed for a life of rapine. The larger of the feline race, the lion, the tiger, the leopard, and the panther, are natives of the hotter portions of the : globe, where life teems to excess, and where the larger herbivorous mammalia abound upon which they habitually prey. The feline race, as a whole, are concentrated in the warmer latitudes,?the species being fewer and more widely dis; persed as we pass from the warm to the i temperate or colder regions. No country, however, is without iinfelidae,?not even the bleak regions of Siberia, or the furcountries of northern Canada; nor is our - Unc.t/->C an indii/PflCUS UW II 131(11111 Ur-oniuiv wi u ii ??.-fc_ ? I . | species,?the wild cat (Felis cuius, Linn ) I That the genuine wild cat of the British | Islands is specifically distinct from our domestic race, is uow universally admitted. Ac the same time, it often happens that individuals of our domestic breed betake themselves to the woods, or to exj tensive preserves of game, where, finding 1 their supply of food abunJant, they per. i munently establish themselves, and lead ' an independent life. Such emancipated J individuals as these must not he con founded with the genuine wild cat, at) animil essentially distinct, and an aborigin al o.' our island. We hear it often asserted that the wild and lame cat breed togetner, but there is every reason to be. here that the wild cat in this case is one of the domestic species, leading an independent life. Such have frequently come under our. own cognizance;?we have known them haunt coppices and woods in I the vicinity of farmhouses, and commit j extensive ravages among the poultry ami j pigeons. The grounds upon which the ; specific distinction between the domestic cat and the wild cat is now admitted, consist in their decided difference <>i gen. eral conformation ; besides standing nigh, er on the limbs, the body of the uHd ca' j is much more robust than in the tamo, j the tail is shorter, and, instead of taper! ing, terminates somi what abruptly, being ! even fuller at its extremity than at its base; it is also invariably tipped with ; bl.ick. The lips and solos of the feet are also black. In the domestic cat the head <- mn.lupjUi and rnnnd(?d. thf* l?odv slen. I der, the tail l?ng and tapering, the colour* j ! variable. Of the original introduction of the domestic cat into our islnnd we have no information ; but we know that, at an early period in England, the domestic cat was highly valued, a circumstance strongly corroborative of the specific disI tinction between it and the wild cat, j which, though now comparatively rare, was formerly, while England was hut j partially cleared of the dense forests which once covered it, extremely abundant, insomuch that the procuring of young litters could have been of little difficulty. While, however, the wild cat was common, the domestic cat was rare, and its price fixed at a high ratio. In the Welch Laws of Hoel the Good, in the ninth century, it was established that the price of a kilten before it could see should be one penny; until it caught a mouse, twopence; and when it commenced mouser, fourpence. If we consider the valoe of the penny in the ninth century, we shall find that none but those in comfortable circmnstanqes could afford to buy a cat. It was also ordained that the person who had stolen the cat kept to guard the king's granary, "was to forfeit a milch ewe, its fleece and lamb; or as much wheat luimn mmrpd nn the eat. susi)ended (Iff f IIVM ^ , by the tail, the head touching the floor, j would form a heap high enough to cover the lip of the former." The origin of our domestic cat is nttri-' billed by M. Ternmi'ick to a species indigenous in Nubia, Abyssinia, and Northern A'Vica. and known under the scientific name of Fclis manic ul at a. However this may he, the domestic cat was among the sacred animals of the Egvptions; it was kept in their temples, is figured on the remains of Egyptian monuments, and its mummies are found in the tombs,? circumstances leading to a plausible hypo, thesis that its first domestication is to be attributed to that people, and that it is an aboriginal of the country adjacent to j Egypt, or of Egypt itself, i The wild cat, thus established as dis? tinct from the tarne breed, is found throughout the whole of Europe, wherev-' er extensive woods afford if an asylum : it is common in the forests of Germany Hungary, Russia, and the western parts of Asia; and. though scarce, is not' extirpated in the British islands. Its chief strongholds are among the mountains of Scotland, of the northern counties of England, and of Wales and Ireland the j >- :? r | Inr?;er woons oemg us pmu? ui ic?u:- an i of concealment by day. Here it lurks o the branches of large trees, in the hoi. lows of decayed trunks, and in the c1hi? i and holes of rocta issuing forth at ni^ht to seek its prev ; on hares, rabbits, grotis * partridges, and all kind of game, it com j mits sad havoc, and the feather* f | victims scattered about, often hetruv itpresence in the neighborhood, and the indignation of the gamekeeper, wl;?. lets pass no opportunity of destroy i,r such noxious "vermin." Young lambs and fawns are hy no means safe from its attack ; indeed of all our native beast* of prev, at present living withfn the p.ecincts of our island, it is the fiercest and most destructive* " Pennant calls it the B? ?<???Ml?MB? ' British tiger," and if it has not the strength and size of the tiger it has ail its ferocity. The destruction of the wild cat is not altogether destitute of danger; for when hard pressed, or enraged by a f wound too slight to disable it, it darts . fiercely on its opponent, aiming chiefly al at the face and eyes, and using both claws and teeth with viodictive fury; ai it clings on to the last, tearing and rend- il ing until fairly despatched, its assailant IV bearing severe maiks of the fray. ? The size to which this species attain ^ is sometimes very great. Bewick says a( that he recollects one killed in the county of Cumberland which measured, from the lil nose to the end of the tail, upwards of ^ five feet. For ourselves we have never seen an individual of such dimensions, and are inclined to suspect a mistake : he males, which exceed the females, are seldom more than three feet in length, of which the tail occupies about a third. An enraged cat of even thesj dimensions is no trifling antagonist; like all the smaller felidae, however, the present species shuns the face of man, and does not willingly hazard an encounter. The female pertinaciously defends her young, and 1 1 ~ 1? * ? ?--^v-4 *U M.AMAntr if Wfll 9 SJie 19 Cii^a^cu wiiii ucr piugcuj ?? ^ is not very sale to disturb her in her re. p treat: she usually produces four or five li at a birth, making a bed for them in a d< hollow tree or the fissure of a rock, and Jj sometimes she even usurps the nest of a m large bird in which to rear her young. The fur of the wild cat is full and t! deep; on the face it is of a yellowish ,B grev color, passing into greyish brown on the head; several interrupted black stripes extend from the forehead, and pass ? between the ears to the occiput; the gen. era! colour of the body is dark grey, a " duskv black stripe running down the j spine. while beautiful transverse waving* . of an obscure blackish hro vn adorn the ^ sides; the tail is ring d with the same 81 tint, except at the tip whicp .8 black. Fine specimens of the male a <| femnlo wild cat, killed in Sco'lfd, are in the ^ m so .in of the Zooloi ical So e'y ; as is j so a soecimen of the f . t maninufata, ti the a'?? god origin of our domestic bned. a A comparison of these speci * together V is one of much interest.

In the 1 midst of this circle a single stake is driv. en, to which a lamb or a young kid is ? boun l. Around this circle a second is ^ formed, of which the stakes are as close and as high as the inner one, and at a distance not greater than will permit of a wolf to pass conveniently, but not to allow of his turning round. In the outer circle { a door is formed which opens inward, and 8| re.'ts against the inner circle, but moves easi- (c Iv on iis hmgee, and fastens itself on shutting. Through this door the woives enter, sometimes <j< in such a number as to fill the enclosure. T. e ?< first wolf now paces the circle in order to dis- ir cover some opeuing through which he can A get at the lamb. When he comes to the back ."V of the door which is in his way, he pushes it with his muzzle, it closes and fastens, he L| passes by, and goes the round for the second j" tune, without being able either to enter the J inner circle, or to retreat from tbe outer. At v length he perceives that he is a prisoner, and ^ his hideous howling announces to those who v have constructed tbe trap that he is taken, y who immediately come and dispatch him. It ? is sa d that this sort of trap is also used for a, foxes, and even occasionally for mice. M ' fi ? ?~ tl SALE OF REAL ESTATE BY " SIR HER OF THE COURT OF " ~ ~CHAitC?RY.
