From "Our Young Folks." Trapped In a Tree. A BACKWOODS ADVKNTURS. , (Concluded.) "So I passed the hull o' that dny ; though thar wuru't uu easy bone in my body, I bed got to be a bit vufier iu my mind ; for on luokin' down at the river, it neemed tbut the cave in lied come to a eend. But my i oinfort didu't last lonjr. It war fullered by the re tteciiun tbut, whether the tree war to sturm or lull, 1 war equally a lost man. I knew that 1 war beyout the reach o human help. Noth In' but chance ked fetch a liviu critter within reach o' my voice. 1 seed the river plain euouiih, on' bouta passiD up uu' down ; but 1 kuow'tl Ihey war 'customed to steer alouif the opposite thure, to void the dangerous eddy as sets torst this side. The river's more'u a mile wide here, uud the people on a pussin beat ttuuul bear me ; un el lliey uiu, tbey u take it lor noma one a mockiu' 'em. A man huilin a bout lium I ho top nf a cyprus tree 1 It 'ud be of do use. For u I that t tried it. Steam ers, keels, aud flats, L hailed them all till 1 war boar.-e ; nome ul em heerd m t, for I war uuswerkd by shouts o' scornful Inughter. My owj alioiils u' despair mout a been niistuk for the cries of a fool or a mudmau. "Wul, I kirn to the conclusion that I war trapped in that tree, uu' do mist.ike. I eeed no mure chunce o' gillin clur than wnd a bur wilh a two tou log across the small o' his buck. "It wnr jept alter I hed pia up nil hope o' bein bucketed by snyhody else, tliet I 'guo to think o' doin' sulhiu' for myself. I needed to do suthin'. Full thirty hours hed passed since Id cyther ate or drunk ; for Id been Dunlin all the day ufore 'ilhotit doing eyther, I ked a swullered the muddiest water as ever wur found io a puddle, nn' oeylher frogs nor tup-poles wud 'a' deterred me. As to eatia', when 1 thort o' that, I kodu't help turnin' my eyes up'urd uu' spite o' the spurt I'd hed wi' tlieir purents, I ked V tult them young buldies that their lives wur in dunger. "Possible, I mout V feelcd hungrier and thurstier thau I did, if it hedu'l beeu for the the feur I wur in 'bout the cyprus toppliu over into the river. Tbet hed kept me iu sich u state o' tikear us to lieuder me from thiukin' of most aoythnig else. "As the time priBsed, however, an' (he tree still kep its purpeudiclur, I begun to b'lieve that the bunk wurn't agoiu' to move any more. I ked see the wuter down below through the branches o' the cyprus, uu' though it wur cloft by, thar 'peu ret to be a clainjuuifury o' big roots stickiu' out from the 'bank, as war like to keep the dirt firm ugh) tin underminin' o' the current, leastwise for a good while. . "Soon as I bekum sutei-sfied o' the flrmoess o' the cvprus, I Ink to think i n' ngnin how I war to tit down. Tliiukiu' Vfarn't of no use. Thar war uo wuy'but to jump it ; an' I mout us well ha' thnrt o' jtnipin Irom the top o' a 'I'm copy church steeple 'ithout breukiu' my ole thigh bones, tough as lliey oe. 'Bv this time it had got to Tie night : and as thar wuru't do use of me mukiu'. things wuss then they war, I groped about the Cyprus to see ef thar war ary limb softer than the others, wbar 1 ked lay myself for a snooze. 1 foupd a place io one o the forks, large enuff to have lodged a Dar ; ana war t squuuea. i slept cutty well, considering but the scratch .. . , , . i : i. .. i , k. :..u -.. lueeugie uu git; inw iiru uu udsuumi, uu war wuss torst the" morniu . . At peep o' day I war wide awake, no' feelia' hungry euuf to eat anything. ' 1 "While I wnr thinkin' of ciimbin np to the neest and wrintiiii' one o' the eagles' cecks, I cbauccd to look out over tho river. All at oacet I ee one o' them big water-hnwks o prey, they call 'em plunge dowu, and rise np acriu with a culfisli iu bis claws. He hadn't got twenty fee) above the surface when one of. . I . .1 l t . J t. . 1 1 .. ' ,n.u Lin, llba IU. OIU nUllllC. WSUl SUUUIIU i,ir. uitu iirtu n streak o' liifhtmn'. Afore ye kud a counted six, I seed the she baldy comin lor the tree with the cat-fish io her claws, v ; 'Good e I to myself ; "ef I roust make my breakfast on raw stuff, I'd rayther it shed be fish than squab eagle.' "I started for the neest This time I tuk the DurcauttoD to anshe&th my bowie an' carry ir Id my hand ready for a fight and it warn t no idle purcontion, as it ptoved ; for eca'ce hed I got my head above the edge of the nest when botn tlie tilil Inrds attacked me test as afore. The fight war now more evo alween us, au' the cui niu crittera appeared to know it ; Tor they kept well out o' tho reach of the bowie, though floppiu' an' clawin' nl me whenever they seed a chance. I guv the old hen a prod that cooled her cournge coosid'able ) aud as for the cock, he waro't wrcurajtagco to her ; for, as yer know,' the pluckiest o1 eagles is always tho hen bird. "The flab wur lyinir iu the bottom o' the neest, wear they had dropped it. It hedu't UtO. U IIMIUIICU, S.irpiiii ny .un vninq uvu carried it, and Ihe young nns war too much bkenrt duiing the skurmidge to think o' bo- giiinin' hreukfust. I spieed it oa the blade o' my bowie, ana urawiu it torst me, i sua oacK dowu the tree to the fork wbar I ked passed the night 'Thar 1 ute it" "Yt u don't mean lo say yen ate it raw 7" "Jest as it come from the river ! I mout have giu it a sort o' cookiu', ef I'd liked ; for I had my punk pouch on me, and I ked have got flriu' from tho dead bark o' the Cyprus, lint I war too hungry to wait, an' I ate it ruw. The fish war a couple o' pound weight ; and I left nothin' of it but the bones, fins, an' tail. "As ye may guess, I wurn't hungry any longer; but just then come .upon me a spell of the driest thirst I ever 'sperienced in all my lile. The fish meat made it wuss ; for, urter I hed swalleied it I feeled ai ef I wur afire. The sua wnr shiuiu' full upon the river, and the glitterin wuter mude things wuss j for it made me huukerartar it all the more. Oncetor twice 1 get out o' tho f irk, thiukin I ked creep alouz a limb and drop into tho river. I shed have done so, hed it beeu near enough, though I knowed I ked Diver have swum u&bore But the wuter wur too fur off. "'Twur no use chuwin the leaves of tho Cyprus. They wur full of rosin, aud wud only make the cltol'.in wuss. Thar war some green leaves on the fox-grupe-viue, and I chutved ull of them tliut I ked git my puws ou. Tliet did some good ; but my suffering war still aubur-able."How war 1 to git at the water of that river, that flowed so tauntiu'ly jest out of my reach ? I most jumped off o' the tree wheu at last I bethort me of a wuy to mnuaga it "I hed a piece of cord I ullers carries about mo. Twur long enough lo reach the river bank and let me dowu. It wud fill, aud I ked then draw it up agin. Hooray I "I cried that hooray only oncet. On look ing for the horn, I diskivered thet I beU left it whar I hed tuk it off ufore goiu to sleep, under the cyprus. ' "I waiu t a-goin to be beat in that way. Ef I lied no vessel thet wud draw wuter, I hed my ole doe skin shirt I ked let that down, auuk it and p'lll it up ngin. No sooner said than dime. The shii t war peeled off, gathered up into a clew, tied to the eend of the string, and chucked out'ard. It stunk a branch of Ihe cyprus and fell short I tried over and over agum. It still tell short several It et Irom the bank of the river. Yet the cord war long enough. It war the thick brunches of tho Cyprus that gin me no chance to make a clur cast, ind having tried till I wur tired, I gev that up too. "Isned have felt dreadfol at failin arter be-in so sure of success ; but j st theu I bethuuk me el'auother plan for reechin that preecious lipoid. "I've told ye 'bout my cuttin a lot of cant to tuuke me a shake-dowu for sleepin on. Thur it still war right under me, armful of it. The sight of its long tubes suggested a new idee, which I wuru't long lu putlin to practice, lukin the shirt out or its loop, I mude the cord fust to the licit of my bowie.' I then shot the knife down among the cane, M'udin it wi' all my might, and tukin euro to keen the b'int f f the blade downwards. It win n't long till I hud spiked np us' much of thet ore sane as wud Lave etretcueu twenty yurds into the river. "Tiiur war uo eend o' whittlin' and punch iu out the Mills, and then spliriu' ihe tubes one to the oilier, iiul 1 Kcowed it war a case oi life or death, and knowm tout, I worked on sternly as an ole giu-hoss. "t wnr rewarded lor my patienco. i got my blow gnu completed, and shovin it core- fully out, tukin the purcuution to give it a double rest upon the brunches, I hed the sat-ersfuction of secin its p'int dippin dowu into the river. I toll yc. thar wuru't uo mint jnleps ever sucked thiough ft straw as tustcd like the fiooid that cum gurdlin up through tbut cane. 1 thurt 1 ked niver take .the thiug from my lips ; and I feel putty sartin that whilo I wai drinkin, tho Miiissippi must have fell clur a couple of reet. Ye may lurf ut the idee, yonng feller, i c 1 ,1'm glad to see ye in setch good sperits i but ye ain't so elc-vuled ns I war wheu 1 tuk my mouth from the cane. I feeled ulll over a new mini, jest ns if I hed. been raised from tho dead, or drugged cut of a con-goomin fire. - ' 'I lived io the for!: of that ere cyprus for six long days, occasionally paying a visit to the eagles ueest, aud rolibin tlie young nuui-ies of the food thur pureuts hed pervided for 'em. Thur diet war vnnouh, and on a konse- quence so wur mine. 1 bed viltles cousisiin of fish, flesh, and fowl, sometimes a rabbit, sometimes a squVI, with feathered game to foller, sech ns parlndgp, teal, and wiogeous. I didn't cook 'em, for I war afraid of settin Are to the withered leaves of the tree and bnmiu np Ihe neest, which wud huve been liko killin the goose as laid the eggs or gold. "I mout a managed that sort of existence for a longer spell, though I acknowledge it wnr tiresomeeuuf. Bot it wnrn't that us made me anxious to see it np, but suthin very different I seed that the'yonng buldies wur every day gittin bigger. Thur feathers war comin out ull over, aud I ked tell that it wud net be long till Ihey wud tuke wing.

From the Atlantic Monthly of March. 1 The Causes of Foreign E..ial.y to tne Limed states, The hostility of foreign governments to the United Stales is due as much at loust to dread of their growing power as dislike of their democracy ; aud accordingly the theory of Ihe Secessionists as to the chuiucter of our Union has been as acceptable to the understandings of our foreign enemies as the acts of the rebels agaiust its government have been pleasing to their xymputbics. 1 uey well know that a uuion of states whoso government recognized the right of recession would be ns weuk as an ordiniwy league belween independent sovereignties ; and as the npid growth of the Slides io population, weultb,and power in cer- tuin, t.iey naturally desire, that it united, these States shall be un Aggregation of fores, neutralizing each other, ruther thun a fusion1 of forces, which, for general purposes, would make them ugiuut nationality. Accordingly, ceutrulized France rcuds to us edifying homi lies on the ndvautages of disintegration ; and England, rich with the spoils of suppressed insurrections, adjures us most plaintively to respect the sacred rights of rebellion. The simple explurutinn of this hypocrisy or irony is, tbut both r ranee and hnglundare anxious thut tho strength of the United States shall not correspo; d to their bulk. The looser tho tio of union, the greater the number of con fedpracies into which the uution should split the sufer they would feel. The doctrine of Ihe inherent und undivided sovereignty of the Slutes will therefvre find resolute champions abroad us long us it bus the most inconsiderable faction to support it at home. The Euiopeuu ou ions are kept in order by what is culled the Itulunce of Tower, and this policy they would like to see established on this continent Should the different States of tho American Union be occupied, like the European ttutes, iu chockirg each other, they could not net as a unit und their terrific rute of growth iu weulth and population, ns compared with thut of the nations across tho Atlantic, would not excite in the latter such irritation und alurm. The magic which has changed English abolitionists into purtisaus of slaveholders, and French imperialists into champions of insurrections, came from the figures, of the Census Reports. It is calculated tnat the United States, if the rate of ernwtb which obtained between 18f)0 aud SCO is continued, will have, forty years hence, a hun drcd millions of inhabitant9, und four hundred and twenty thousand millions of dollars of taxable weulth, over three times the present population, and over ten times the present weulth, cf the richest of Kurojieaii nations. It is probable that this concrete fact exerts more influence on the long-headed statesman of Europe than any abstract dislike of democracy. The only union which they could briug against such a power would be a league, a confederacy, a continuous aud subsisting treaty, between sovereign powers. Is it far-prising thut they should wish our uuion to be of tho same character t Is it surprising that the contemplation of a government, whether despotic or democratic, which could act directly on a hundred millions of people, with the supreme right of taxing pmpr rty to the amount of four hundred and twenty billions of dollars, should fill them with dismay T The inherent weakness of a league, even when its general object issnch as to influence rjie passions of the nations which compose it is well known to all European statesmen. The various alliances against Fran. show the insuperable difficulties In the way of giving to confederacies of sovereign states a unity and efficiency corresponding to their aggregate strength, aud the necessity which the leaders of such alliuncej are always onder of expending half their skill and energy in preventing the loosely Compacted league from fulling to pieces. ' The alliance under tlie lead of William lit. barely sustained itself against Leuls XI VM though William was the ablest statesman in Europe, and had been trained la the tactics of confederacies from his cradle. The alliance ooder the lead of Maryborough owed its mess ore of success to his iufinite address aud ml- rncnlous patience as much as to his consummate military genius i nnd in the Ignominious "secession" of England, in the treaty of Utreoht ended in, making it see ot the most conspicuous examples of the weakness of such combi nations. When the exceptional military genl- o as in tne case oi r reaencK and Aapoleoo, dai been oo the side ot the single pour as NO 18. sailed, the results have been all the more re muiknble. The coalition against Frederick, Ihe ruler of five millions of people, was coin- fiosed of sovereigns who ruled a hundred rnil-ious ; and at the end of seven years of wur they bud uot succeeded iu, wringing permanently from his grap a square mile of territory. The first coalitions eg.uiust Napoleon resulted only iu making him tba muster of Europe ; and he wai crashed at last merely by the deud weight of the nutions which the sense-lessifss of his politicul passions brought down upon bis empire. Indeed, the trouble wiih all leagues is, that they'are commanded more or less, by debuting-societies and a debating- society is weuk before a man. The Southern Confcden cy is a confederacy only io name ; for no despotism in Europe or Asia has more relentless unity of purpose, and lu noue doe debute exercise less control over executive affairm All the powers of the government are practically absorbed in JchVrs n Ibivn, and n rebellion iu the nume of State Rights has ended in u military autocracy, in which all rights, personal and State, aresnapended, ' Now, as it is impossible for Euroiiean gov ernments to combine efficiently against such a colossal power us the United States promise willnu a few generations to be, provided the unity of the nation is preserved with its growth, they naturrlly fuvor every element of disintegration which will reduce the separate Slutes to the condition of European states. rwl Kussell s tumous saying, that "the Nor Hi is lighting for power, Ihe South for indepen dence," is to be interplead in this seuse. hut he overlooked was the striking fact which distinguishes the Stubs of the Ameri can Republic from the States of Europe. The latter ttie generally separated by race and nationality, or, where composed of heterogeneous muteriuls, are held together by military poyr. The people of the United States are Homogeneous, and rapmiy assimilate into American citizens the foreigners they so cor diully welcome. No mno hus lifted his hand aguiiist the government ns an Irishman, a Frenchman, a Hernial), an Ituliuo, a Dane, but only us a slaveholder, or as a citizen of a State controlled by slaveholders. The insurrection was started iu the interest of au institution, und uot of u race. To compare 'Uch a rebellion with European rebellions is to confuse things esseutiully distinct. Tho American government is so constituted thut nobody hus un iuterest iu overturning it, unless his interest is opposed to thut of the ma.ts of the citizens with whom he is placed on au equality and hence his treason is necessarily a revolt against the principle of equal rights. In Europe, it is needless to suy, every rebellion with which an' American can sympathize is a rebellion in fuvor of the principle uguinst which the slaveholders' rebellion isun armed protest An insurrection in Russia to restore serfdom, an insurrection in Italy to restore the dethroned despots, an Insurrection iu England to restoro tho Stuart system of Kingly gov eminent, an insurrection anywhere to restore what the progress of civilization had made contemptible or accursed, would be the only fit parallel to the iusurrectiou of the Southern Confederates. The North is fighting for power which is its due, because it iB jnst aud right ; the South is fighting for independence, in onler to remove all checks ou its purpose to oppress and enslave. The fact thut the power for which the North fights is a different thing from the power which a European monarchy struggles to preserve and extend, the fact thut it is the kind of power which oppressed nationalities seek in their efforts for independence, only mukes our roreign critics more apprehensive of its effects. It is a dan gerous power to them, becnoje, founded iu the consent of the people, there is no limit to its possib'e extension, except in the madness or guilt of that portion of the people who are restive under the restraints of justice and inpatient under the rule of freedom. It would be doing cruel wrong to Earl Rus sell's intelligence to suppose that he really be lieved what ho said, wbeu be drew a parallel between the- Americna Revolution nnd the re- hellion of the Confederate States, aud asserted that the right of the Southern States to secede from the American Union was identical with the right of ;he Colonies to sever their connection with Great Britain. We believe tho Colonies were right in their revolt But if the circumstances had beeu difierent, if aiuce the reign of William III. they hud nominated or controlled almost every 1'rimo Miu ister, bad shuped the policy of the British Empire, hud enjoyed not only a representation iu Parliament, but io the basis of repre-seutution hud been fuvored with a special dis crimination in their fuvor uguinst Kent und Yorkshire, if both in the House of Lords aud the I loose of Commons they had not only been domi.iaut, hut bud treated the Bentiutks, Cavendishes, and Russell's, the Montagus, Wulpoles, and 1 itts, with overbearing inso lence, and if, after wield'ng power so long and so arrogantly, they had rebelled at the first turn in political uffuirs which seemed to indicate that they were to' be reduced from a positiou of superiority to one of equulity, if our forefathers had acted after this wild fashion, we should uot only tbiuk thut the Revo lution they achieved was altogether niju.,tif able, but we should blush at the thought of beiug descended from such despot-demngogues. This is a very feeble statement of the case which would connect the revolt of the American Coloniesjwith the revolt of the American Mltertiuides ; and E irl Russell is too well-in- fonsed a statesman not to know that his par allel fails in every rsseutial particular. He threw it oat ns he threw out his sounding antithesis about "power' und "iudependenoe," to catch eurs not specially blessed with brains between tbem. ' ; , ' But European statesman, in order fo pro mote the causes or American dissensions, are williug not ouly to hazard fallacies which do not impose on their own ouderstandings, but to give aid and com Tort to iniqmties which lu Europe have long beeo antiquated. They tho tolerate chattel slavery, uot because they sympathize with it bnt because it ia an ele ment of disturbance in the growio ot American power. Though it has forcetftnries been outgrown by tl e natiorts of Western Europe, and is repngnant to all their ideas and sentiments, they are willing to give it their moral sup- port provided it will break up the union of the people oi tne btuies, or remmu ns a constantly operutiug cause of enmity between the sections oi a reconstructed union. I uey would tolerate M or monism or Atheism or Diabolism, if they thought it would have a sim ilar effect ; but at the same time they would not themselves legalize polygamy, or deny the existence of God. or inaugurate the worship of the Devil, indeed, wnne giving slavery a politic sanction, they despise in their hearts the people who are so barbarous as to main tain such an institution ; and the Southern rebel or Northern deuiagogne who thinks bis championship of slavery really euros him any European respect is onder that ktoa ot oeiu-sion which it Is always for the interest of the plhtter to cultivate iu tlie tool. It was common, a few years agfl, to represent the Abolitionist as the dupe or agent of the aristocracies of Europe.

For the war has comncliod tbeae ill-wlsheri to modify their most cherished theory of democracy in the United States. Tbey thought that the marvellous energy for military com-biuntiou, developed by a democracy suddenly emancipated from oppression, such as waa presented by the French people in Ihe Revo. ution of 1769, wus not the characteristic of a democracy which had grown op Onder democratic institutions, 'ilia first was anarchy plus the dictator j the sriSnd wusrrerely "anarchy plus the coostuble." lliey had an ob ' stiuute prepossession, that, in ft settled democ racy like ours, the selfishness of the individu al was so stimulated that he became incapable .' oi seii-sucnticc lor me public good, ibuease with which the government of the United States has raised men by tlie million and money by the billion baa overturned this theory, and shown thai a republic, of which individual liberty and general equality form the animating principles, can still rapidly, avail Itself of tLe property and personal service of all the individuals who compose it audthatself-ieek-ing is not more characteristic of a democracy iu lime of peace than self-ucrifice is charao teristiv of the same democracy iu time of war. The overwhelming and apparently unlimited power of a government thus othe people aud for the peoplo is whut the war has demonstra ted, and it very uulunilly excites ibe lear and jealousy of governments which are based oa less hrm foundations in the popular nnud aud heart and will ' . It ia doubtless true that ninny candid foreign thinkers fuvor the ditiutegration of the American Ucicu bejuuso they believe that the consolidation of its power would moke it-the niedd.esome tyrant of the world. They admit thut the enterprise, skill, and labor of the people, applied to the unbounded undeveloped resources of the country, will enable them lo create weulth very much foster than other nutions, and that the population, fed by continual streams of immigration, will also, in-creui'e wilh a corresponding rapidity. They admit, that if kept united, a few geueratiout will be sufficient to make them the richest, largest and most powerful nation io the world. But they also four thnt this nation will be an armed and aggressive democracy, deficient ia public reason and public conscience, disposed to push unjust claims with insolent pertinaci ty, and impelled by a spirit of prnpagundism which will continually disturb the pence of Europe. It is carious that this impression is derived from the ac'ions of tbo government while it was controlled by the traitors now in rebellion against it, and from the professions of those Northern demagogues who are mott in sympathy with European opinion concern ing the justice and policy or the war. Air. Fernando Wood, the most resolute of all the Northern advocates of peace, recommended from bis seat iu Congress hnt a month ego, that a compromise be patched up with the rebala on the principle of sacrificing the negro, and then thut both sections unite to seize Canada, Cuba, and Mexico. The kind of "democracy", which Mr. Jefierooa Davis and Mr. Fernando Wood represent is tho kiud of democracy which has always been the great disturber of our foreign relations, an j it is a democracy which will be rendered powerless by the triumph of the national arms. The United States of 19000, with their population of a hundred millions, aud their wealth or four hundred nod twenty billions, wili, we believe, he a powor for (rood, and not for evil. They will he strong enough to make their nghtg respected everywhere ; hut they will not force their ideas oa other nations ut tho point of the bayonet ; they will not waste their energies in playing the part of the armed propagandist of Democratic opinions in Europe ; and Ihe contagion of their principles will ouly be the natural result of the example of penoe. prosperity, freedom, ane justice, which they will present to thB world.
