Bind Eagle. — ‘This distinguished
bird, as he is the most beautiful of
bis tribe in this part of tbe world,
and the «dopted emblem of our coun
try, is entitled to particular notice.
H has been long known to natural
i.-ts, being common to both conti
-nents, and occasionally met with from
a very high northern latitude, to the
borders of the torrid zone, but chief
ly in the vicinity of the sea, and
along the shores nod clifls of our
lakes and large rivers. Formed by
nature for braving the severest cold;
feeding equally upon the produce of
tbe sea, and of the land; possessing
powers of Hight capable es outstrip
ping even the tempest themselves;
unawed by any thing but man; and
from tLe ethereal heights to which
tie soars, looking abroad, at one
glance, on an immeasurable expanse
of forests, fields, lakes, and ocean,
deep below him; he appears indif
ferent te the little localities of
change of seasons; as in a few min
utes he caa pass from aummer to
winter, from the lower to the higher
regions ofthe atmosphere, the abode
of eternal cold; and th nee descend
at will to the torrid or the arctic re
gions of the earth "He is then lore
found at all seasons in the countries
winch be inhabits; but prefers such
places as have bean mentioned a
bove, from the great partiality he
has for fish
‘lu procuring these he displays,
in H very singular manner, the geni
us and energy oi his character, which
is fierce, contemplative, daring, and
tyrannical; attributes not exerted
but i n particular ocasions; but when
put forth, overwhelming i/il opposi
tion. Elevated upon a high dead
liiub ot some gigantic tr c, that
commands a wide view of the neigh
bouring shore and ocean, he seems
! calmly to contemplate tbe motions of
the various feathered tribes that
pursue their busy below;
tbe snow white gulls slowly winnow
ing the air; the busy tringac cours
ing along the sands; trains of ducks
streaming over the surface; silent
and watchful cranes, intent and wad
ing, clamorous crow®, and all tbe
winged multitudes that subsist by
