RURAL EMBELLISHMENTS. The disposition to improve and adorn '1 the 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 af- j forded to individuals with moderate re- I sources, against the misapplication of their money and labor. The English worlds, which are to be found in great variety, ana 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 and manners, a climate, an extent of pri n t_ I vate fortunes, and a scale of prices 01 labor and materials, so Wholly diff rent ' from what it is here, that any luckless wight who ever commenced operations j upon the faith of what he read in them, must have had occasion before he ended, to repent in more ways than one of his ' misplaced, confidence. Almost every citizen of the United States, when he begins to improve land, has to djal with ' - nature in some of her primitive forms, j 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 sum realizing nothing further from it, as j'lU.fhan an opportunity to expend more . Jo advantage. He finds this no where v set (town in the estimates of the old world, wheru no such work is necessary; and he becomes discouraged from doing more. What he sees put down as within the [ ? c m;>ass of a moderate fortune in Eng- i 1. nd. turns out lo require a large one in America. He loses confidence in all es- j timates whatever,- and, in order to save ! himself from ruin, slops 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 d?me for a quarter part of the amount it has cost him, and returns lo 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 all, it is very easy to adorn the lowliest country dwelling without in -* An fir fhu i-lld. curring mitco com, pmviucu wmj | position be found to exist in the mind of j its tenant. There is no country, whore j the opportunity and the inducement unite i together in n greater degree titan among j ns. Our lands are generally in the hands of independent citizens, who own them ( free from incumbrance, but who own not i much else. A trifling amount of annual I labor, is all that is necessary to make the , difference at home, between a bare and ! I desolate hovel, and a pretty farmhouse. A *few overgrown current bushes in a I formal row. before the house, which have heen left to take care of themselves ever j since they were set, half a dozen wild apple-trees, constitute all the horticultural improvement of many of our most ancient 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 appie-trees might be made to return money into the. .pocket of their owner, and his i neglected current, bushes' might afford space for a few additional plants, the cultivation of which would soften and expand his own mind, in the same raiio that it improved the appearance of his home. His wife.and children, taking the benefit of his example, could daily contribute , without-effort their mile to the general j effect, and thus would grow, out of a neglected and repelling spot, a cheerful and inv-iting scene. To-do all this, little is I " ... necessary beyond the will of the individual concerned. Yet how many are there all over the United Slates, men , and women, who have never realized the . rwwuihilitv of-such a conceotion, and who ( -t think all the use of the earth to be. that it f,: \ ields corn and wheat. and poiatoes, and *a1i the beauty of a house that it is a shelter frpui the weather! We wish that there was in America, ? more decided taste for country life among the younger portim of those class, es. favored by forlu1 e >vith the possession j of property. It would have a tendency in some degree, to counteract the rest. Jcssness ami disposition to change, which is characteristic of our people, and to check the passion for luxuries of all kinds, which is rapidly extending itself with the increase of our public hotels, and the facilities of transportation from place to place. One .the greatest supports to the fnbic of society, as it is erected in Engiand, is .the landed interest; by whieb we mean, that class of proprietors who lived upon estrtfes, nnd sympathize with all their neighbours poo or rici and to whom the idea Oi removal from he place which they ctll home, is in the nature of a heavy ca 1 in v. In the United states mere is no i such cfass. The wealthv have made their j property tor thv nwselv.es in cities, and to I most of them a country house is necessarv, because it is eommonly regarded as an appendage to the condition of a man for no other reason. It is seldom considered in thelightof a permanent possesions or inorethan a place to spend threeor four months of summer. No rural tastes are 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 w th . ut the perpetuation ! of a single memorial that such a man hat! ever dwelt in it. Toe great majority of per sons who make <ointry seats, do so be ? cause they desi e *o make a display of j their fortune, or el>e because they have j ? rnm<intir. idea in their mind of the de- j light of a houtiful retreat from the hustle of the world. Neither motive will answer for any lenghth of time, to keep them living there. The desire for display rap dIy palls. with.the*possession of all that is uecessarv to indulge it, and the fancy fhr fetitenjent-gires way- before the dreariness solitude.

North American Review. THE WILD CAT. The Felida, 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 concern traled in the warmer latitudes,?the species being fewer and more widely dispersed as we pass from the warm to the temperate or colder regions. No country, however, is without iis felidae,?not even the bleak regions of Siberia, or the furcountries of northern Canada ; nor is our own island destitute of an indigenous ??'im # ?? { FV>/1o mtus T.inn ^ SpCUIUOj'" I JIC> n llll UUi ^ A Ml VW< ?wy * ? ? J That the genuine wild cat of the British Islands is specifically distinct from our domestic race% is now universally admitted. At the same time, it often mppens that individuals of our domestic breed betake themselves to the woods, or to extensive preserves of game, where, finding their supply of food abundant, they permanently establish themselves, and lead an independent life. Such emancipated individuals as these must not he confounded with the genuine wild cat, an anim il essentially distinct, and an aboriginal of our island. We hear it often asserted that the wild and lame cat breed tngetuer, but there is every reason to believe 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 the vicinity of farmhouses, and commit extensive ravages among the poultry and pigeons. The grounds upon which the specific distinotion between the domestic cat and the wild cat is now admitted, consist in their decided difference 01 generul conformation ; besides standing higher on the limbs, the body of the will ew. is much more robust than in the tame; the tail is shorter, and, instead of tapering, terminates somt what abruptly, being even fuller at its extremity than at its j base; it is also invariably tipped with I black. The lips and solos of the feet arf I also black. In the domestic cat the head is moderate and rounded, the body slen-I der, the tail l.?ng and tapering, the colours ' variable. Of tiie original introduction of the domestic cat into our island 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 distinction between it and the wild cat, which, though now comparatively rare, was formerly, while England was hut 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 Hocl the Good, in the ninth cen. tury, it was established that the price of a kit ton before it could see should be one j penny ; until it caught a mouse, two- j pence; and when it commenced mouser, | fourpence. If we consider the valoo of the penny in the ninth century, we shall find that none bur those in comfortable circumstances 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 mV-ch ewe, its fleece and lamb; or as much wheat as, when poured on the cat, suspended by the tail, the head touching the floor, would form a heap high enough to cover the lip of the former." The origin of our domestic cat is attri-' billed by M. Temmiuck to a species indigenous in Nubia, Abyssinia, and Northern A'Viea. and known under the scientific name of Feiis maniculata. However this may be, the domestic caf 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 Egypt, or of Egypt itself. The wild cat, thus established as dis. tinet from the tarne breed, is found throughout the whole of Europe, wherev-' er extensive woods afford it an asylum : it is common in the forests of Germanv Htinirarv. Russia, and the western parts of Asia; and. though scarce, is not extirpated in the British islands. Its chief strongholds are ammng the mountains o'" Scotland, of the northern counties of England, and of Wales and Ireland th>' larger woods being its place of resort an \ of concealment by day. Here it lurks o the branches of large trees, in the hoi. lows of decayed trunks, and in the c!ei<.> i and holes of rocks issuing forti? at ni'/iit to seek its prey ; on hares, rabbits, grows * partridges, and aii kind of game, it com mits sad havoc, anil the feather* f *.iciirns scattered about, often bet fav itpresence in the neighboihood, ai:d rou-the indignation of the gamekeeper, w!:?lets pass no opportunity of destroyi v such noxious "vermin." Young lambs and fawns are hv no means safe from attack ; indeed of all our native beast* of prev, at present living within the p,ecincts of our island, it is the fiercest and most destructive- " Pennant calls it the | "British tiger," and if it has not the strength and size of the tiger it has all its ferocity. The destruction of the wild cat is not altogether destitute of danger; for when hard pressed, or enraged by a wound too slight to disable it, it darts fiercely on its opponent, aiming chiefly at the face and eyes, and using both claws and teeth with vindictive fury; it clings on to the last, tearing and rend* i ing until fairly despatched, its assailant bearing severe maiks of the fray. The size to which this species attain , is sometimes very great. Elewick says , that he recollects one killed in the county of Cumberland which measured, from the nose to the enci cf 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 these dimensions is no trifling antagonist; likeall 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 whi t she is engaged with her progeny it ( is not very safe to disturb her in her retreat: she usually produces four or five at a birth, making a bed for them in a hollow tree or the fissure of a rock, and jnrnolimpa ahf? even usums th? nest of 8 large bird in which to rear her young. The fur of the wild cat is full and ' deep; on the face it is of a yellowish grey 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 general colour of the body is dark grey, a duskv black stripe running down the s;>ine. while beautiful transverse waving of an obscure blackish l.ro vn adorn the sides; the tail is ring d with the same tint, except at the tip whic?? ,a black.

In Norway, mi perhaps in so.ne other riortner.i comities the following verv simple ouiriv.inee is used for the capture of the wolf:?In e circle of about six or eight feet in diameter, stakes are driven so close to each other that a wolf cannot creep through, and which are high enough to prevent his leaping over them. In the midst of this circle a single stake is driven, to which a lamb or a young kid is bound. 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, ;ind re-ts against the inner circle, but moves easily on its hinges, and fastens itself on shutting. Through this door the wolves enter, sometimes , in such a number as to fill the enclosure. The i first wolf now paces the circle in order to discover some opeuing through which he can get at the lamb. When he comes to the back of the door which is in his way, he pushes it with his muzzle, it closes and fastens, ho passes by, and goes the round for the second tune, without being able either to enter the inner circle, or to r?-treai from the outer. At - ' 1 length he perceives that nets a prisoner, aim his hideous howling announces to those who have constructed the trap that he is taken, who immediately come and dispatch hira. It ( is sa d that this sort of trap is also used for foxes, and even occasionally for mice. i SALE OF REAL ESTATE BY ORDER OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY.
